This Amendment No. 6 is being filed by Nokia with respect to Alcatel Lucent Securities, and it hereby amends the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D originally filed on January 26, 2016, as amended on February 10, 2016, March 17, 2016, May 10, 2016, May 17, 2016 and June 17, 2016 (collectively with this Amendment No. 6, the Schedule 13D). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

The maximum cash outlay for the acquisition of all the Alcatel Lucent Securities targeted by the Offer (as defined below), on the basis of the Offer price of 3.50 euros per Alcatel Lucent Share, 4.51 euros per 2019 OCEANE and 4.50 euros per 2020 OCEANE, will be 678 340 679.71 euros (excluding the related costs and expenses).

The Offer will be fully financed by Nokias own funds.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On September 6, 2016, Nokia announced that it has filed Nokia and Alcatel Lucents draft joint offer document (projet de note dinformation conjointe) with the AMF relating to Nokias proposed public buy-out offer in cash for the remaining Alcatel Lucent Shares, 2019 OCEANEs and 2020 OCEANEs it does not already own (the Public Buy-Out Offer). The Public Buy-Out Offer would be automatically followed by a squeeze-out in cash of the Alcatel Lucent Shares, 2019 OCEANEs and 2020 OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer (the Squeeze-Out, and together with the Public Buy-Out Offer, the Offer), in accordance with the General Regulation of the AMF.

The Offer will be made exclusively in France and in the United States pursuant to an exemption from the U.S. tender offer rules provided by Rule 14d-1(c) and, to the extent applicable, Rule 13e-4(h)(8) of the Exchange Act.

Nokia expects the Public Buy-Out Offer to open in the second half of September 2016, following the review and clearance of the Offer by the AMF. The Squeeze-Out would occur on the trading day following the expiration date of the Public Buy-Out Offer, which Nokia expects to occur in early October 2016.

The draft joint offer document includes, without limitation, the following previously undisclosed information:

Terms of the Offer

In the context of the Public Buy-Out Offer, Nokia is offering a consideration of:

 

EUR 3.50 per Alcatel Lucent Share,

 

EUR 4.51 per 2019 OCEANEs, and

 

EUR 4.50 per 2020 OCEANEs.

In the Squeeze-Out, the Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs not tendered into the Public Buy-Out Offer will be transferred automatically to Nokia on the trading day after the expiration date of the Public Buy-Out Offer, for the same consideration as the above-mentioned consideration of the Public Buy-Out Offer.

The consideration of the Offer corresponds to the price paid by Nokia in cash acquisitions prior to the announcement of Nokias intention to file an offer on June 16, 2016. In accordance with applicable rules and regulations, the consideration of the Offer has been subject to a valuation by Société Générale, the presenting bank appointed by Nokia in connection with the Offer, and a fairness opinion has been delivered by Accuracy, the independent expert appointed by Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors in accordance with Article 261-1, I and II of the AMF General Regulation. The independent expert concluded in its report that the consideration of the Offer is fair for the Alcatel Lucent minority shareholders and OCEANEs holders. The valuation report of Société Générale and the fairness opinion of Accuracy are included in the draft joint offer document.

Timetable of the Offer

The timetable for the Offer is subject to approval by the AMF. Based on an indicative timetable and assuming that the AMF clearance decision is received on September 20, 2016, the Public Buy-Out Offer would be opened on September 22, 2016 and closed on October 5, 2016. The Squeeze-Out will be implemented on the trading day after the expiration date of the Public Buy-Out Offer, which is anticipated to be October 6, 2016. The AMF will announce the definitive timetable of the Offer in due course.

Recommendation by the Board of Directors of Alcatel-Lucent

The participating members of Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors have unanimously determined that Nokias proposed Offer is in the best interests of Alcatel Lucent, its employees and stakeholders and have recommended that all holders of Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs tender their securities into the Public Buy-Out Offer. Alcatel Lucents Board of Directors made its decision on the basis of a number of factors further detailed in the draft joint offer document filed with the AMF, which include, inter alia, the report issued by Accuracy which concluded that the terms of the Offer by Nokia for the Alcatel Lucent Shares and OCEANEs are fair.

The forgoing description of the draft joint offer document is a summary and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the draft joint offer document, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 11 to this Amendment No. 6 and is incorporated herein by reference. The information contained in the draft joint offer document filed with the AMF and incorporated herein is preliminary and the draft is subject to future amendments before being cleared by the AMF.

 

Item 5.
