This amendment No. 20 to Schedule 13D relates to the Schedule 13D filed on January 17, 2018 for Xerox Corporation (as previously amended, the “Original Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Person (“Amendment No. 20”). On March 7, 2019, Xerox Corporation announced plans to create a new public holding company, Xerox Holdings Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Issuer”), by implementing a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). Upon completion of the Reorganization on July 31, 2019, the Issuer became the successor issuer to Xerox Corporation pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 20 shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
On September 28, 2023, the Issuer announced that consummated a transaction with Carl Icahn and his affiliates pursuant to which the Issuer purchased from Mr. Icahn and his affiliates all of the Shares owned thereby (the “Repurchase Transaction”). Upon the consummation of the Repurchase Transaction, Scott Letier, presently a member of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, will become the chairman of the Board of Directors of the Issuer.
Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer. |
Items 5(a)-(c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 15,283,657 Shares, including 6,741,572 Shares issuable upon the conversion of 180,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, representing approximately 11.8% of the Issuer's outstanding Shares (based upon the 157,120,028 Shares stated to be outstanding by the Issuer as of July 31, 2023 as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the SEC on August 2, 2023 minus the 34,245,314 Shares acquired by the Issuer upon the consummation of the Repurchase Transaction plus the 6,741,572 Shares issuable up conversion of Mr. Deason’s Series A Preferred Stock).
