Lifelock Inc (LOCK): Billionaire Paul Singer Adds To Activist Position

Billionaire Paul Singer has stepped up his activist efforts concerning Lifelock Inc. (NYSE:LOCK), as disclosed in a recently amended filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since the end of June, his fund Elliott Management has acquired 600,000 shares of the company, lifting its tally to 7.75 million shares, which account for 8.4% of the company’s outstanding stock. The fund has economic exposure to an additional 2.5% of Lifelock’s common stock through various derivative contracts.

Elliott Management disclosed its activist stake in Lifelock Inc. (NYSE:LOCK), a provider of identity theft protection services, in June and immediately engaged in talks with the company’s management regarding ways to increase shareholder value. Not long after, the company hired investment banking advisory firm Evercore Partners Inc. (NYSE:EVR), fueling speculation about a potential sale.

Lifelock had a tough second quarter, having registered a $7.6 million loss, though when adjusted for stock option expense and amortization costs, the company netted a profit of $0.07 per share, ahead of analysts’ projections of $0.04 per share. Revenue came in at $164.4 million, up by 13.4% year-over-year.

The following constitutes Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (the “Amendment No. 2”).  This Amendment No. 2 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Elliott Working Capital
The aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by Elliott is approximately $32,498,371.
Elliott International Working Capital
The aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by Elliott International is approximately $69,704,369.
The Reporting Persons may effect purchases of shares of Common Stock through margin accounts maintained for them with prime brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms’ credit policies. Positions in shares of Common Stock may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in such accounts. Since other securities may be held in such margin accounts, it may not be possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase shares of Common Stock.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
As a result of the purchase of 600,000 additional shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D and the Issuer’s reduction in shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in its recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 2 to reflect their revised economic exposure in the Issuer.
Depending upon overall market conditions, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Persons, and the availability of securities of the Issuer at prices that would make the purchase or sale of such securities desirable, the Reporting Persons may endeavor (i) to increase or decrease their respective positions in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase or sale of securities of the Issuer on the open market or in private transactions, including through a trading plan created under Rule 10b5-1(c) or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable and/or (ii) to enter into transactions that increase or hedge their economic exposure to the Common Stock without affecting their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock.
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons have communicated with the Issuer’s management and Board of Directors about a broad range of operational and strategic matters.  The Reporting Persons may take positions and/or make proposals with respect to, or with respect to potential changes in, the operations, management, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, Board of Directors composition, ownership, capital or corporate structure, dividend policy, potential acquisitions or sales involving the Issuer or certain of the Issuer’s businesses or assets, strategy and plans of the Issuer as a means of enhancing shareholder value, or may change their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4, and, as part of their ongoing communications, the Reporting Persons have encouraged the Issuer to undertake a strategic review process, which may include a transaction in which the Reporting Persons may participate.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may from time to time in the future express their views to and/or meet with management, the Board of Directors, other shareholders or third parties, including, potential acquirers, service providers and financing sources, and/or formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer, its assets or its securities. Such proposals or positions may include one or more plans that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
(a) As of the close of business on the date hereof, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA collectively have combined economic exposure in the Issuer of approximately 10.9% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 92,592,112 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of August 5, 2016, which is the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2016.
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Elliott beneficially owned 2,480,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 2.7% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
As of the close of business on the date hereof, Elliott International beneficially owned 5,270,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 5.7% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. EICA, as the investment manager of Elliott International, may be deemed to beneficially own the 5,270,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Elliott International, constituting approximately 5.7% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Collectively, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA beneficially own 7,750,000 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 8.4% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Collectively, Elliott, Elliott International and EICA have economic exposure comparable to approximately 2.5% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding pursuant to the Derivative Agreements, as disclosed in Item 6.
Item 5(c) is amended to add the following:
(c) The transactions effected by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D are set forth on Schedule 1 attached hereto.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
The first paragraph of Item 6 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
Elliott, through The Liverpool Limited Partnership, a Bermuda limited partnership and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elliott (“Liverpool”), and Elliott International have entered into notional principal amount derivative agreements (the “Derivative Agreements”) in the form of cash settled swaps with respect to 752,000 and 1,598,000  shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively (representing economic exposure comparable to less than 1% and 1.7% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, respectively). Collectively, the Derivative Agreements held by the Reporting Persons represent economic exposure comparable to an interest in approximately 2.5% of the shares of Common Stock. The Derivative Agreements provide Elliott and Elliott International with economic results that are comparable to the economic results of ownership but do not provide them with the power to vote or direct the voting or dispose of or direct the disposition of the shares that are referenced in the Derivative Agreements (such shares, the “Subject Shares”). The Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership in the Subject Shares. The counterparties to the Derivative Agreements are unaffiliated third party financial institutions.
