This Amendment No. 5 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed on February 14th, 2011 (this "Amendment No. 5"), as further amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, on behalf of RP STAK, SAN FAUSTIN and TECHINT HOLDINGS (as defined thereunder), relating to the Ordinary Shares, par value $1 per share of Tenaris S.A. (the “Ordinary Shares”).

 

No changes occurred except on the following Items:

 

 

Item 2. Identity and Background

 

This Schedule 13D is being jointly filed by each of the following persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

(a)ROCCA & PARTNERS STICHTING ADMINISTRATIEKANTOOR AANDELEN SAN FAUSTIN (“RP STAK”)

Fascinatio Boulevard 764, 2909 VA Capelle aan den IJssel, The Netherlands.

RP STAK is a private foundation (stichting) organized under the laws of The Netherlands. No person or group of persons controls RP STAK.

 

(b)SAN FAUSTIN S.A. (“SAN FAUSTIN”)

26, Boulevard Royal, Ground Floor, L-2449 Luxembourg.

SAN FAUSTIN is a société anonyme (public limited liability company) organized under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. RP STAK continues to control SAN FAUSTIN (i.e. it continues to have the ability to influence matters affecting, or submitted to a vote of the shareholders of SAN FAUSTIN, including the election of directors and the approval of certain corporate transactions and other matters concerning SAN FAUSTIN’s policies).

 

(c)TECHINT HOLDINGS S.À R.L. (“TECHINT HOLDINGS”)

26, Boulevard Royal, Ground Floor, L-2449 Luxembourg.

TECHINT HOLDINGS is a société à responsabilité limitée (private limited liability company) organized under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. All of the shares of TECHINT HOLDINGS are held by SAN FAUSTIN.

 

The name, residence or business address, present principal occupation or employment (and the name, principal business and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted) and citizenship of each voting committee member, executive officer or director, as applicable, of each Reporting Person are set forth in Schedule I and is incorporated into this Item 2 by reference.

 

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, none of the persons listed on Schedule I has (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

Information with respect to each of the Reporting Persons is given solely by such Reporting Person, and no Reporting Person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of information given by another Reporting Person.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The events requiring the filing of this Amendment No. 5 did not involve any transfer of funds or any kind of consideration. This filing is due to some minor changes in the composition of the Board of Directors or executive officers, their residence or business address and/or their present principal occupation or employment of some of the Reporting Persons.

 

There were no changes in the holdings of Ordinary Shares of RP STAK, SAN FAUSTIN and TECHINT HOLDINGS since such Reporting Persons filed their most recent Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D on June 28th, 2021.

There were no changes in the holdings of Ordinary Shares of RP STAK, SAN FAUSTIN and TECHINT HOLDINGS since such Reporting Persons filed their most recent Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D on June 28th, 2021.
