Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

 

(a) This statement is filed by JANA Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("JANA" or the "Reporting Person"). The Reporting Person is a private money management firm which holds Shares of the Issuer in various accounts under its management and control. The principal owner of the Reporting Person is Barry Rosenstein ("Mr. Rosenstein" or the "Principal").

(b) The principal business address of the Reporting Person and the Principal is 1330 Avenue if the Americas, 32nd Floor, New York, New York 10019.

(c) The principal business of the Reporting Person and the Principal is investing for accounts under their management.

 

(d) Neither the Reporting Person nor the Principal has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

(e) Neither the Reporting Person nor the Principal has, during the last five years, 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.

(f) The Reporting Person is a limited liability company organized in Delaware. The Principal is a citizen of the United States of America.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby and amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The 5,967,912 Shares reported herein by the Reporting Person were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $93.2 million. Such Shares were acquired with investment funds in accounts managed by the Reporting Person and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such Shares are held by the investment funds managed by the Reporting Person in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to the Reporting Person from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker's call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

Items 5(a), (b), (c) and (d) of the Schedule 13D are hereby and amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

 

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Person is based upon 94,107,978 Shares outstanding as of March 31, 2020, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 11, 2020.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own 5,967,912 Shares, representing approximately 6.34% of the Shares outstanding.

The Reporting Person, Mr. Lillie, Ms. Davis and Mr. Farah ceased acting together and therefore no longer may be deemed to be a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. As a result, Mr. Lillie, Ms. Davis and Mr. Farah are no longer reporting persons and this Amendment No. 2 only reports the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Person.

(b) The Reporting Person has sole voting and dispositive power over the 5,967,912 Shares, which power is exercised by the Principal.

(c) Information concerning transactions in the Shares effected by the Reporting Person during the past sixty days is set forth in Exhibit A hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. All of the transactions in Shares listed hereto were effected in the open market through various brokerage entities.

(d) No person (other than the Reporting 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, the Shares.

Item 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

 

Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby and amended and restated in part as follows:

Exhibit A: Transactions in the Shares of the Issuer During the Last 60 Days
