Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment No. 4”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on September 19, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 7, 2016, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 16, 2016 and Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 22, 2016 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

The Class A Common Stock of the Issuer reported as beneficially owned in the Schedule 13D is directly held by EMC Corporation (“EMC”) or its wholly-owned subsidiary, EMC Equity Assets LLC (“EMC Sub”). EMC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell Technologies”). Dell Technologies is owned by investors including certain of the Reporting Persons, Michael S. Dell, a separate property trust for the benefit of Mr. Dell’s wife and funds affiliated with MSD Partners, L.P. This Amendment is being filed to report the following events in connection with the transactions disclosed in Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D: (a) the sale, which closed on February 15, 2017, by EMC Sub of an additional 1,461,514 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock to the Issuer; and (b) a reduction in the respective percentages of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as a result of such sale of Class A Common Stock by EMC Sub to the Issuer.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

The information set forth in Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Amendment and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

Items 5 (a), (b) and (c) are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) – (b) After completion of the transaction reported in Item 5(c), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 336,788,652 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, which includes (i) 36,788,652 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock held by EMC or EMC Sub and (ii) 300,000,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock held by EMC, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at EMC’s election, representing approximately 82.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock calculated on the basis of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 410,061,500 shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of February 6, 2017, and include 110,061,500 shares of Class A Common Stock and 300,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, as provided by the Issuer, reflect that the 1,461,514 shares of Class A Common Stock sold to the Issuer on February 15, 2017 in connection with the transactions reported herein are no longer outstanding following such transaction and assume conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock into shares of Class A Common Stock. As further described in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over all shares reported herein with EMC, EMC Sub (to the extent of its direct holdings), Dell Technologies and certain of its other subsidiaries, and Mr. Dell. Dell Technologies, EMC, EMC Sub and Mr. Dell separately file Schedule 13D filings reporting their respective beneficial ownership of such securities.

Information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock by the individuals listed in Annex A of the Schedule 13D is set forth in Annex A of the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 5.

(c) On February 15, 2017, EMC Sub sold, at a price of $80.17117 per share, an additional 1,461,514 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer pursuant to a stock purchase agreement, dated as of December 15, 2016, by and among Dell Technologies, EMC Sub and the Issuer (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”). As reported in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D, under the Stock Purchase Agreement, EMC Sub sold 4,775,142 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer for a cash payment of approximately $375 million at an initial price of $78.5317 per share, subject to adjustment, in an initial closing that occurred on December 22, 2016. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold at the second closing was determined in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement by dividing (x) the $500 million aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased at both closings under the Stock Purchase Agreement (of which the $125 million remaining balance was paid in cash by the Issuer at the closing which occurred on February 15, 2017) by (y) a final price of $80.17117 per share as of


February 8, 2017, based on the volume-weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during a specified reference period, less a discount of 3.5% from that per share price, and subtracting from such number of shares the 4,775,142 shares delivered at the initial closing on December 22, 2016. Including the shares sold at the closing which occurred on February 15, 2017, EMC Sub has sold a total of 6,236,656 shares of Class A Common Stock to the Issuer at such final price of $80.17117 per share. The terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement are described in Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D, and a copy of the Stock Purchase Agreement is filed as an exhibit thereto.

Except as set forth in this Amendment, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person listed in Annex A, have effected any transaction in Class A Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D on December 22, 2016.

 

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

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

The information set forth in Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
