This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to the Class A Common Stock of Phibro Animal Health Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

On September 13, 2018, BFI Co., LLC (“BFI”) entered into a Rule 10b5-1 sales plan (the “Sales Plan”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. LLC (“Broker”) pursuant to which Broker is authorized and directed to sell on behalf of BFI up to 800,000 shares of Class A Common Stock through August 30, 2019, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including among others, minimum sale price and limit on the number of shares that can be sold on a single trading day. All transactions under the Sales Plan are to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Sales Plan. The Sales Plan was adopted to enable BFI to sell a modest portion of its shares of Class A Common Stock (and Class B Common Stock that BFI converts to Class A Common Stock). By using a Rule 10b5-1 Sales Plan, BFI can diversify its investment portfolio over an extended period of time. The Sales Plan became effective as of September 13, 2018 and shall terminate on the earliest of (a) August 30, 2019, (b) the date on which all shares covered by the Sales Plan are sold, (c) the date that the Sales Plan is terminated by the parties in writing, and (d) the date Broker receives notice of the dissolution of BFI. The first possible trade date under the Sales Plan is November 13, 2018. As of September 17, 2018, if all unsold shares covered by the current sales plan and all shares covered by the new Sales Plan are sold, BFI will continue to hold 59,480 shares of Class A Common Stock and 19,106,034 shares of Class B Common Stock, which are exchangeable for 19,106,034 shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

Except as described above, none of the Reporting Persons currently has any plans or proposals which would be related to or would result in any of the matters described in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D. However, as part of the ongoing evaluation of investment alternatives, the Reporting Persons may consider such matters and, subject to applicable law, may formulate a plan with respect to such matters, and, from time to time, one or more Reporting Persons may hold discussions with or make formal proposals to management or the Board of Directors of the Issuer or other third parties regarding such matters as permitted by law.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

The ownership percentages set forth below are based on 20,201,674 shares of Class A Common Stock and 20,166,034 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of September 17, 2018. The amounts outstanding were calculated by using the amounts as of August 20, 2018 reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, filed on August 27, 2018, and then adjusting such amounts pursuant to the transactions reported by the Reporting Persons on the Statements of Changes in Beneficial Ownership on Form 4 filed on August 23, September 6, 2018 and September 14, 2018.

As the Class A Manager of BFI, Jack C. Bendheim may be deemed to beneficially own the 59,480 shares of Class A Common Stock and 20,166,034 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by BFI. Mr. Bendheim disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

 

(b) Jack C. Bendheim has the sole authority to vote all of the common stock of the Issuer owned by BFI and, together with three of his adult children, is the manager of BFI with respect to the economic rights pertaining to such common stock of the Issuer owned by BFI.
