This Amendment No. 1 (Amendment No. 1) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed on December 12, 2016 (the Schedule 13D, and together with this Amendment No. 1, this Statement). Capitalized terms and used herein and not otherwise defined have the meaning ascribed them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 1 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (Common Stock), of Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Issuer or the Company). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1001 Air Brake Avenue, Wilmerding, PA 15148.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On May 21, 2018, the Issuer announced that it had entered into definitive agreements with General Electric Company (GE), Transportation Systems Holdings Inc., a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of GE (SpinCo), and a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (Merger Sub). Pursuant to (and subject to the terms and conditions of) the agreements, the Issuer and GEs transportation business (GE Transportation) will be combined in a transaction in which GE will (1) sell a portion of the assets of GE Transportation to Wabtec, (2) spin-off or spin-off/split-off a portion of SpinCo (which will hold the remainder of GE Transportation) to GE shareholders, and (3) immediately thereafter merge SpinCo with Merger Sub, which will result in SpinCo becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer (collectively, the Transaction).

In connection with the Transaction, certain stockholders, including the Reporting Persons, directors and certain officers of the Issuer beneficially owning approximately 11% of the outstanding shares of the Issuer entered into a Voting and Support Agreement, dated May 20, 2018 with GE (the Voting Agreement) under which these persons agreed to vote in favor of the Transaction and will be subject to certain other agreements, including transfer restrictions on their shares, prior to the earlier of the meeting of the Issuers shareholders to approve the Transaction and the termination of the Voting Agreement. Under the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons agreed that the existing transfer restrictions under the existing Shareholders Agreement apply for GEs benefit and that they would comply with certain other covenants relating to the Transaction.

 

Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

 

1.    Voting and Support Agreement dated May 20, 2018 among General Electric Company and each of the persons listed on Schedule 1 thereto, incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2.3 of the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with SEC on May 24, 2018.
2.    Power of Attorney granted by François Faiveley in favor of Erwan Faiveley and Michael O. van den Berg, dated as of December 8, 2016, incorporated by reference to Exhibit 6 of the Reporting Persons Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on December 12, 2016.
