Preamble
This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment No. 2") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by Atlantic Industries, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands ("Atlantic") and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of The Coca-Cola Company ("TCCC", and together with Atlantic, the "Reporting Persons"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2014, as amended (the "Statement"), relating to shares of common stock, $0.10 par value per share ("Common Stock"), of Keurig Green Mountain, Inc. (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 2 is being filed jointly by the Reporting Persons. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Statement.
Items 2, 3 and 5 of the Statement are hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:
Item 2. | Identity and Background. |
Certain information with respect to the directors and executive officers of the Reporting Persons is set forth in Schedule A attached hereto, including each director's and executive officer's business address, present principal occupation or employment, citizenship and other information.
Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Considerations. |
On February 11, 2015, Credit Suisse Capital LLC ("CS") delivered to the Atlantic an aggregate of 6,378,286 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a previously disclosed letter agreement, dated as of May 12, 2014, between Atlantic and CS (the "Agreement") for a total acquisition cost of $830,371,993. All such purchases were made using Atlantic's cash on hand.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
(a)−(b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 25,868,016 shares of Common Stock, all of which are held by Atlantic. As the ultimate parent company and controlling shareholder of Atlantic, TCCC may be deemed to share with Atlantic voting power and dispositive power with respect to the 25,868,016 shares of Common Stock held by Atlantic. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons represents approximately 16.0% of the currently outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (based on the 161,675,100 shares of Common Stock that were issued and outstanding as of January 29, 2015, as reported in the Issuer's quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 4, 2015). To the best of the Reporting Persons' knowledge, none of the persons named in Schedule A beneficially owns any Common Stock.
(c) The 6,378,286 shares of Common Stock were acquired by Atlantic on February 11, 2015 pursuant to the Agreement at a price per share equal to $130.3792. Except for the shares purchased pursuant to the Agreement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
