This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment No. 3) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on July 6, 2018 (as amended on February 11, 2020 and February 26, 2020, the Schedule 13D) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), relating to the shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (PLT Common Stock), of Plantronics, Inc. (the Issuer or the Company). Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 that are not otherwise defined herein have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:
On August 27, 2020, Triangle Holdings II sold 4,065,666 shares of PLT Common Stock at a price per share of $13.25 in a block sale to a broker-dealer. As a result of this transaction, and pursuant to the terms of the Stockholder Agreement (filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on July 6, 2018), Triangle Holdings II no longer had the right to cause any person to be appointed to the Companys board of directors (the Board) and was required to cause its representatives serving on the Board to resign (the Resignation Covenant). Frank Baker resigned from the Board as of August 27, 2020. Daniel Moloney continues to serve on the Board at the request of the Company, although he no longer serves as a designee of Triangle Holdings II. In connection therewith, on August 27, 2020, the Company and Triangle Holdings II agreed to a partial waiver of the Resignation Covenant to effect Mr. Moloneys continued service on the Board.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 (a) - (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
(a) and (b)
None of the Reporting Persons has the sole power to vote or direct the vote or the sole power to dispose or direct the disposition of any of the shares of PLT Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates. The Reporting Persons have shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of 3,036,535 shares of PLT Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D, which constitute approximately 7.5% of the outstanding shares of PLT Common Stock. In addition, Siris Capital Group and Siris Group GP also have shared power to vote or direct the vote and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of 8,303 shares of PLT Common Stock (which shares were awarded to Frank Baker in connection with his service as a director of the Issuer) reported in this Schedule 13D, which constitute approximately 0.02% of the outstanding shares of PLT Common Stock and, when aggregated with the shares of PLT Common Stock referenced in the previous sentence, constitute approximately 7.5% of the outstanding shares of PLT Common Stock. Pursuant to an assignment agreement between Siris Capital Group and Mr. Baker, Mr. Baker has assigned to Siris Capital Group all of his right, title and interest in and to any compensation, including equity awards, he received from the Issuer for his services as a director of the Issuer. Mr. Baker resigned from the Board as of August 27, 2020.
The percentages set forth above are based on an aggregate of 40,683,561 shares of PLT Common Stock outstanding as of June 3, 2020, as reported in Amendment No. 1 to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, filed with the SEC on August 18, 2020.
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, which group may be deemed to share the power to vote or direct the vote, or to dispose or direct the disposition, of the PLT Shares. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is a member of a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of securities held by any other person or entity other than, to the extent of any pecuniary interest therein, the various accounts under such Reporting Persons management and control.
(c)
The Reporting Persons engaged in the following transaction with respect to the PLT Common Stock during the last sixty days: On August 27, 2020, Triangle Holdings II sold 4,065,666 shares of PLT Common Stock at a price per share of $13.25 in a block sale to a broker-dealer.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
On August 27, 2020, the Company and Triangle Private Holdings II entered into a Waiver and Acknowledgement, pursuant to which the Company and Triangle Private Holdings II agreed to partially waive the Resignation Covenant as relating to Daniel Moloney and his continued service on the Board. Mr. Moloney continues to serve on the Board at the request of the Company, although he no longer serves as a designee of Triangle Private Holdings II.
The foregoing reference to and description of the Waiver and Acknowledgement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the full text of the Waiver and Acknowledgement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.6 and incorporated herein by reference.
