CUSIP No. 680665205 | SCHEDULE 13D/A | Page 7 of 10 Pages |
This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 31, 2015 (the "Original Schedule 13D" and together with this Amendment No. 1, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Olin Corporation, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 3 and 5 as set forth below. This is the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an "exiting filing" for the Reporting Persons.
Item 3. | SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION |
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows: | |
Funds for the purchase of the 6,533,501 shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates were derived from working capital of ACP and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the 6,533,501 shares of Common Stock reported herein. A total of $155,761,461 was paid to acquire the 6,533,501 shares of Common Stock reported herein. The remaining 1,079,365 shares of Common to which this Schedule 13D relates were acquired by ACP in the transactions described in the Issuer's Prospectus–Offer to Exchange filed with the SEC on September 2, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3), by exchanging 420,835 shares of common stock of The Dow Chemical Company for 420,835 shares of common stock of Blue Cube Spinco Inc., which in turn were converted into 1,279,265 shares of Common Stock in the Merger described therein. ACPGP, ACA and Messrs. Atchinson or Gross control the investing and trading in securities of ACP. None of ACPGP, ACA or Messrs. Atchinson or Gross directly hold any shares of Common Stock. |
Item 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows: | |
(a) | See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentages of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 165,010,196 shares of Common Stock, consisting of (i) 77,527,437 shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding, as of August 5, 2015, in the Issuer's Prospectus–Offer to Exchange filed with the SEC on September 2, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) and (ii) 87,482,759 shares of Common Stock issued on October 5, 2015 in connection with the closing of the Merger, as disclosed in the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on October 5, 2015. |
(b) | See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition. |
CUSIP No. 680665205 | SCHEDULE 13D/A | Page 8 of 10 Pages |
(c) | Since the filing of Amendment No. 2 ACP participated in the transactions described in the Issuer's Prospectus–Offer to Exchange filed with the SEC on September 2, 2015 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) as described in Item 3 and entered into the transactions in the shares of Common Stock, as set forth in Schedule A, which are incorporated herein by reference. The other Reporting Persons did not enter into any transactions in the shares of Common Stock within the past sixty days. |
(d) | No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Common Stock. |
(e) | As of October 5, 2015, the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own more than five percent of the shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, this Amendment No. 2 constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons. |
