This statement constitutes Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D relating to the shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Shares”), issued by Welbilt, Inc. (the “Issuer”), and herby amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 11, 2016 (as amended, the Schedule 13D), to furnish the additional information set forth herein. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by the addition of the following:
As previously disclosed by the Issuer, on July 14, 2021, the Issuer, Ali Holding S.r.l. (“Ali”), Ali Group North America Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ali (“Acquiror”), and Ascend Merger Corp. (“Merger Sub”) entered into a merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving the merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ali. On July 28, 2022, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were consummated, including the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ali following the merger (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding Share held by the Reporting Persons was cancelled and converted into the right to receive $24.00 in cash. As a result of the foregoing, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any Shares.
