This Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 8, 2018, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on June 11, 2018, Amendment No. 2 filed on September 14, 2018 and Amendment No. 3 filed on September 20, 2018 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background.
This Amendment amends and restates the second and third paragraphs of Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as set forth below:
“TPG Advisors VI-AIV is the general partner of each of (i) TPG VI Wolverine, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TPG VI Wolverine”), which directly held shares of Common Stock, and (ii) TPG VI Wolverine Co-Invest, LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“TPG VI Wolverine Co-Invest” and, together with TPG VI Wolverine, the “TPG Funds”), which directly held shares of Common Stock.
Because of the relationship of TPG Advisors VI-AIV to the TPG Funds, TPG Advisors VI-AIV may have been deemed to have beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock held by the TPG Funds. Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter are the sole shareholders of TPG Advisors VI-AIV. Because of the relationship of Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter to TPG Advisors VI-AIV, each of Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter may have been deemed to have beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock held by the TPG Funds. Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the TPG Funds except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.”
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
This Amendment amends and restates the final two paragraphs of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as set forth below:
“March 2019 Registered Offering
On March 18, 2019, the TPG Funds entered into an underwriting agreement (the “March 2019 Underwriting Agreement”), with the Issuer and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as underwriter, pursuant to which the TPG Funds agreed to sell 7,869,230 shares of Common Stock at a price of $98.15 per share (the “March 2019 Registered Offering”). The March 2019 Registered Offering closed on March 21, 2019.
Other than as described above, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any of the persons listed in Schedule I hereto, currently has any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time as permitted by the Standstill, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.
References to and the description of the Stockholder Rights Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Stockholders Agreement, September 2018 Stock Purchase Agreement, Second September 2018 Stock Purchase Agreement and March 2019 Underwriting Agreement are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Stockholder Rights Agreement, Registration Rights Agreement, Stockholders Agreement, September 2018 Stock Purchase Agreement, Second September 2018 Stock Purchase Agreement and March 2019 Underwriting Agreement, respectively, copies of which are filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.”
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
This Amendment amends and restates the second paragraph of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:
“(a)-(b) As a result of the closing of the March 2019 Registered Offering, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.”
This Amendment amends and restates the fifth paragraph of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:
“(e) As a result of the closing of the March 2019 Registered Offering, on March 21, 2019 the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the shares of Common Stock.”
Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.
This Amendment amends and supplements Item 7 of the Original Schedule 13D by adding the following:
“8. Underwriting Agreement, dated March 18, 2019 by and among Assurant, Inc., the selling stockholders listed in Schedule III thereto and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 21, 2019).”
