As described in the prospectus forming part of the registration statement on Form F-4 filed by Fairfax on May 3, 2017 (the Prospectus) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) and the tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed by Fairfax on May 8, 2017 with the SEC, as amended, Allied World shareholders were offered (i) $23.00 cash and (ii) 0.057937 of a Fairfax subordinate voting share.

The source of funds for the remaining cash consideration described above was Fairfaxs existing cash resources.

Item 4.                                      Purpose of Transaction.

 

The information set forth under Items 3, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.  The purpose of the Offer and the Merger (as defined below) was for Fairfax, through FFH Switzerland, to acquire Allied World.

 

If no actions or proceedings are pending with respect to the exercisability of the voting rights associated with the Shares and no other legal impediment to a squeeze-out merger under Swiss law exists, Fairfax will, indirectly through Fairfax (Switzerland), initiate a squeeze-out merger under Swiss law (the Merger) whereby any remaining Allied World shareholders will have their Shares cancelled and, except for Allied World, Fairfax, FFH Switzerland and Fairfax (Switzerland), which will not receive any compensation for any Shares directly or indirectly held by them, receive (i) $23.00 cash and (ii) 0.057937 of a Fairfax subordinate voting share, the same consideration paid to Allied World shareholders who tendered their Shares in the Offer.

 

On July 6, 2017, in connection with the completion of the Offer, Allied World notified the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) that the Offer had been completed and that Allied World intended to file a notification of removal from listing on Form 25 with the SEC on July 17, 2017.  Fairfax understands that Allied World intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the deregistration of the Shares and the suspension of Allied Worlds reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act as soon as possible.

 

The matters described in this Item 4 will, if successfully consummated, result in one or more of the types of transactions contemplated in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Reporting Persons specifically reserve the right to change their intentions with respect to any or all of the foregoing.

 

Item 5.                                      Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)         Based on the most recent information available, the aggregate number and percentage of the Shares (the securities identified pursuant to Item 1 of this Schedule 13D) that are beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons is set forth in boxes 11 and 13 of the second part of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for each of the Reporting Persons, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.  The percentages reported herein are calculated based upon 87,595,148 Shares outstanding as reported to Fairfax by Allied World.

 

(b)         Except as described below, the numbers of Shares as to which each of the Reporting Persons has sole voting power, shared voting power, sole dispositive power and shared dispositive power is set forth in boxes 7, 8, 9 and 10, respectively, on the second part of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for each of the Reporting Persons, and such information is incorporated herein by reference.

 

(c)          Except as described herein, none of the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person listed in Annex A, B, C, D, E, F or G beneficially owns, or has acquired or disposed of, any Shares during the last 60 days.

Scott A. Carmilani beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, (i) 1,410,144 Shares, all of which were tendered into the Offer and acquired by Fairfax for $23.00 and 0.057937 of a Fairfax subordinate voting share per Share, and (ii) 134,415 employee stock options, 45,604 restricted stock units and 176,709 performance-based awards, for which an aggregate 356,728 Shares were underlying, all of which became fully vested and were surrendered for the cash equivalent of $23.00 and 0.57937 of a Fairfax subordinate voting share per option (net of exercise price), unit and award, as appropriate, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement.

 

(d)         No person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of Shares held by the Reporting Persons other than each of the Reporting Persons.

 

(e)          Not applicable.

 

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

 

The information set forth under Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.  The following summary of the terms of the Merger Agreement is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, a subsidiary of Fairfax will commence the Offer to purchase all outstanding Shares, followed by a merger of Allied World into a merger subsidiary of Fairfax (being Fairfax (Switzerland)), with Fairfax (Switzerland) as the surviving corporation.  Each Share accepted by Fairfax in the Offer was exchanged for (i) a $5.00 pre-closing cash dividend from Allied World (the Special Dividend), paid outside the Offer, but conditional on the completion of the Offer and (ii) the consideration described in Item 3 above.

 

The obligation of Fairfax to consummate the Offer was subject to customary conditions, set forth in the Merger Agreement including (i) approval by Allied Worlds shareholders to amend the articles of association of Allied World to permit a holder of 10% or more of the Shares outstanding with full voting rights, to elect the individuals designated by Fairfax to Allied Worlds board of directors upon or after completion of the Offer and to approve the Special Dividend and cancel the previously adopted $0.26 quarterly dividend to be paid in March 2017; (ii) to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations (based on the total number of Fairfax shares to be issued as consideration for the transaction), approval by Fairfaxs shareholders of the issuance of Fairfax shares as consideration for the transaction (which was not required); (iii) a number of Shares having been validly tendered and not properly withdrawn that represents 90% of the Shares outstanding; (iv) receipt of governmental consents and approvals (both domestic and foreign) required to consummate the Offer and the Merger; and (v) other customary conditions set forth in the Agreement. The obligation of each party to consummate the transaction is also conditioned upon the other partys representations and warranties being true and correct and the other party having performed in all material respects its obligations under the Merger Agreement.  All of these conditions to Fairfaxs obligation to consummate the Offer were satisfied or waived.

 

13


 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Fairfax and Allied World intend that, in accordance with the laws of Switzerland and a merger agreement to be entered into by Fairfax (Switzerland) and Allied World (the Swiss Merger Agreement), Fairfax (Switzerland) and Allied World will consummate the Merger contemplated thereby, pursuant to which Allied World will merge with and into Fairfax (Switzerland), with Fairfax (Switzerland) as the surviving entity. At such time, the Shares will be cancelled, except for Shares held by Allied World, Fairfax, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Allied World or Fairfax, and, in accordance with the Swiss Merger Act, converted into the right to receive (i) $23.00 cash and (ii) 0.057937 of a Fairfax subordinate voting share, and each Share owned by Allied World, Fairfax, or any direct or indirect subsidiary of Allied World or Fairfax will be automatically cancelled without any conversion thereof, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Swiss Merger Agreement. The Merger will be effective at the time of the registration of the Merger in the Commercial Register of the Canton of Zug.  Fairfax (Switzerland) and Allied World have not yet entered into the Swiss Merger Agreement.

 

Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons and any third person with respect to the Shares.
