Pursuant to the Voting Agreement described in the Original Schedule 13D (as defined below), Disney may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of 306,623,480 shares of Class B Common Stock and 57,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) of 21CF on the record date of any vote at a stockholder meeting or through written consent for certain events as set forth in the Voting Agreement. Neither the filing of this statement on Schedule 13D/A nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by Disney that it is the beneficial owner of any of the common stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed. |
This statement constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on December 22, 2017 relating to shares of the Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”), of Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“21CF”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Original Schedule 13D on behalf of the undersigned to furnish the information set forth herein. Except as set forth below, all Items of the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 1 have the meanings assigned to them in the Original Schedule 13D.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by amending Schedule A to (i) remove the name and information of Jack Dorsey, Robert W. Matschullat, Sheryl Sandberg and Orin C. Smith and (ii) add the following names and information:
Name Present Principal Occupation and Business Address of Such Organization
Safra A. Catz Chief Executive Officer of Oracle Corporation. 500 Oracle Parkway, Redwood Shores, CA 94065.
Francis A. deSouza President and Chief Executive Officer of Illumina, Inc. 5200 Illumina Way, San Diego, CA 92122.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following at the end of the section entitled “Merger Agreement”:
On May 7, 2018, Disney, Merger Sub, Merger LLC and 21CF entered into an amendment to the Merger Agreement (the “Merger Agreement Amendment”). As described above, the Merger Agreement contemplates that at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock of 21CF, except as otherwise set forth in the Merger Agreement, will be converted automatically into the right to receive 0.2745 shares of Disney common stock, subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement (as so adjusted, the “Exchange Ratio”), together with cash in lieu of fractional shares of Disney common stock (such consideration, the “Common Stock Merger Consideration”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement Amendment, in lieu of receiving the Common Stock Merger Consideration at the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of 21CF common stock owned by a subsidiary of 21CF will be converted automatically into the right to receive a number of shares of series B preferred stock, par value $0.01 of Disney equal to the Exchange Ratio multiplied by 1/10,000. The Merger Agreement Amendment permits Disney’s Board of Directors to elect, in its sole discretion, for each issued and outstanding share of 21CF common stock owned by a subsidiary of 21CF to be converted automatically into the right to receive the Common Stock Merger Consideration.
Other than as expressly modified pursuant to the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Merger Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on December 22, 2017, remains in full force and effect as originally executed on December 13, 2017. This summary of the Merger Agreement Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement Amendment, which is Exhibit 3 to this Amendment No. 1, and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby supplemented by incorporating by reference in its entirety the description of the Merger Agreement Amendment set forth in Item 4 above.
