BSPI and the GS Funds are collectively referred to herein as the “GS Investors.” GS Group, Goldman Sachs, GS Investors and Bridge Street are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”

 

Except as set forth below, all Items of the Original 13D remain unchanged. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original 13D.

 

Item 2.Identity and Background

 

Item 2 of the Original 13D is hereby amended by replacing in their entirety Schedules II-A, II-B and III, incorporated therein by reference, with Schedules II-A, II-B, and III hereto, respectively, which Schedules II-A, II-B and III are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction

 

Item 4 of the Original 13D is hereby amended by adding the following immediately before the final two paragraphs thereof:

 

“Pursuant to an underwriting agreement, dated November 5, 2020 (the “November 2020 Underwriting Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, the GS Investors, other selling stockholders named therein, and Goldman Sachs and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters (collectively, the “Underwriters”), the Underwriters agreed to purchase from the GS Investors, and the GS Investors agreed to sell to the Underwriters an aggregate of 14,658,205 shares of Common Stock at a price of $24.808125 per share (the “November 2020 Sale”). In addition, pursuant to the November 2020 Underwriting Agreement, the GS Investors granted the Underwriters an option to purchase an aggregate of additional 1,465,821 shares of Common Stock for 30 days following the date of the November 2020 Underwriting Agreement at the same price (the “November 2020 Option Sale”). The Underwriters exercised this option on November 6, 2020.

 

The November 2020 Underwriting Agreement contains standard terms and conditions for a public offering including customary representations and warranties and indemnity provisions. The November 2020 Sale and the November 2020 Option Sale were consummated on November 10, 2020.

 

In connection with the November 2020 Underwriting Agreement, on November 5, 2020, each of the GS Investors signed a lock-up agreement (the “November 2020 Lock-up Agreements”) pursuant to which they agreed that, subject to specified exceptions, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, each GS Investor will not, during the period ending 60 days after the date of the November 2020 Underwriting Agreement: (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer or options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock (a “Disposition”), (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other Disposition (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Common Stock or options, warrants, or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Issuer or (iii) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in any of the foregoing.

 

11

 

 

The foregoing description of the November 2020 Underwriting Agreement and the November 2020 Lock-up Agreements is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the November 2020 Underwriting Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference to Exhibit 1.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 10, 2020, and the November 2020 Lock-up Agreements filed as Exhibit 10 hereto.”

In accordance with the SEC Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “Release”), this filing reflects the securities beneficially owned by certain operating units (collectively, the “Goldman Sachs Reporting Units”) of GS Group and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “GSG”). This filing does not reflect securities, if any, beneficially owned by any operating units of GSG whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units in accordance with the Release. The Goldman Sachs Reporting Units disclaim beneficial ownership of the securities beneficially owned by (i) any client accounts with respect to which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units or their employees have voting or investment discretion or both, or with respect to which there are limits on their voting or investment authority or both and (ii) certain investment entities of which the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units act as the general partner, managing general partner or other manager, to the extent interests in such entities are held by persons other than the Goldman Sachs Reporting Units.

SCHEDULE III

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has alleged that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) violated Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by improperly relying on Goldman Sachs’s automated locate function in the order management system without having confirmed the availability of the securities to be located. In addition, the SEC alleged that Goldman Sachs employees did not provide sufficient and accurate information with respect to these locates in Goldman Sachs’s locate log, which must reflect the basis upon which Goldman Sachs provided the locates. The SEC alleged that Goldman Sachs willfully violated Rule 203(b)(1) of Regulation SHO and Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act. Without admitting or denying the violations, Goldman Sachs consented to the entry by the SEC of an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Exchange Act, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (Release No. 34-76899, Jan. 14, 2016). Pursuant to the Order, Goldman Sachs must cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Rule 203(b)(1) of Regulation SHO, and any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 203(b)(1)(iii) thereunder relating to short sale locate records. Also pursuant to the Order, Goldman Sachs was censured and paid a civil money penalty in the amount of $15,000,000 on January 20, 2016. The SEC stated that, in determining to accept Goldman Sachs’s offer of settlement, it considered certain remedial acts taken by Goldman Sachs.

 

On October 22, 2020, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GS Group”) entered into an order instituting cease and desist proceedings with the SEC, which alleged GS Group failed to reasonably maintain a sufficient system of internal accounting controls between 2012 and 2015 with respect to the process by which it reviewed and approved the commitment of firm capital in large, significant and complex transitions, such as the three bond offerings for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (“1MBD”),  and that documentation prepared in connection with the 1MDB transactions did not accurately reflect certain aspects of the bond offerings, including the involvement of a third party intermediary in the offerings.  GS Group has agreed to pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $400,000,000 and disgorgement of $606,300,000.

The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or other securities referred to in clause (i) above.

 

 

 

 

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or other Shares the undersigned may purchase in the offering.

For purposes of this clause (xiii), “change of control” means the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least 51% of total voting power of the voting stock of the Company;

This Lock-Up Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Avantor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the selling stockholders named in Schedule II thereto, providing for a public offering of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continuing to and including the date 60 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned shall not, and shall not cause or direct any of its affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock of the Company or options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company (a “Disposition”), whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the “Undersigned's Shares”), (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other Disposition (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Common Stock of the Company or options, warrants, or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any action or activity described in clause (i) above or transaction or arrangement described in clause (ii) above. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or other securities referred to in clause (i) above.

 

 

 

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or other Shares the undersigned may purchase in the offering.

Re: Avantor, Inc. - Lock-Up Agreement

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned understands that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC (the “Underwriters”) propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”), with Avantor, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the selling stockholders named in Schedule II thereto, providing for a public offering of the Common Stock of the Company (the “Shares”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to it in the Underwriting Agreement.

 

In consideration of the agreement by the Underwriters to offer and sell the Shares, and of other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the undersigned agrees that, during the period beginning from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continuing to and including the date 60 days after the date of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned shall not, and shall not cause or direct any of its affiliates to, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, (i) offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, lend or otherwise dispose of shares of Common Stock of the Company or options or warrants to purchase any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company (a “Disposition”), whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the undersigned (including holding as a custodian) or with respect to which the undersigned has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC (collectively the “Undersigned's Shares”), (ii) engage in any hedging or other transaction or arrangement (including, without limitation, any short sale or the purchase or sale of, or entry into, any put or call option, or combination thereof, forward, swap or any other derivative transaction or instrument, however described or defined) which is designed to or which reasonably could be expected to lead to or result in a sale, loan, pledge or other Disposition (whether by the undersigned or someone other than the undersigned), or transfer of any of the economic consequences of ownership, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, of any shares of Common Stock of the Company or options, warrants, or other securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock of the Company, whether any such transaction or arrangement (or instrument provided for thereunder) would be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise or (iii) otherwise publicly announce any intention to engage in or cause any action or activity described in clause (i) above or transaction or arrangement described in clause (ii) above. The foregoing restrictions are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock or other securities referred to in clause (i) above.

 

 

 

 

If the undersigned is an officer or director of the Company, the undersigned further agrees that the foregoing provisions shall be equally applicable to any issuer-directed or other Shares the undersigned may purchase in the offering.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Disposition of the Undersigned’s Shares or other Company securities will be deemed to occur during the Lock-Up Period with respect to:

 

(A)          transfers of the Undersigned’s Shares

 

(xxxvi)as a bona fide gift or gifts;
   
(xxxvii)by will or other testamentary document, or intestacy;
   
(xxxviii)to any trust, partnership, limited liability company or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;
   
(xxxix)to any immediate family member, other dependent or any investment fund or other entity controlled or managed by the undersigned;
   
(xl)if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity, (a) transfers to another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned or (b) distributions of the Undersigned’s Shares or any security convertible into or exercisable for Shares to limited partners, limited liability company members, stockholders or subsidiaries (or their equivalents under the jurisdiction of organization of the undersigned) of the undersigned; provided, that in the case of any transfer of Shares pursuant to this clause (v), filings under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall only be permissible if such filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that such transfer of Shares was pursuant to the circumstances described in this clause (v) and remain subject to a lock up agreement;
   
(xli)if the undersigned is a trust, to the beneficiary of such trust;
   
(xlii)to a nominee or custodian of a person or entity to whom a disposition or transfer would be permissible under clauses (i) through (vi);

 

 

 

 

(xliii)to the Company in connection with the repurchase of the Undersigned’s Shares upon termination of service of the undersigned;
   
(xliv)to the extent necessary to fund, the payment of taxes due with respect to the vesting and/or exercise of restricted stock, stock options or similar rights to purchase Shares pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans disclosed in the Prospectus;
   
(xlv)to the Company or its subsidiaries upon death, disability or termination of employment, in each case, of the undersigned pursuant to an employment agreement, a shareholders’ agreement (or equivalent) or equity award in existence on the date hereof;
   
(xlvi)to the Company or its subsidiaries (a) upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants, restricted stock units or other equity interests, including transfers deemed to occur upon the “net” or “cashless” exercise of options or (b) for the sole purpose of paying the exercise price of such options, warrants, restricted stock units or other equity interests or for paying taxes (including estimated taxes) due as a result of the exercise of such options, warrants, restricted stock units or other equity interests or as a result of the vesting of Shares under restricted stock awards pursuant to employee benefit plans disclosed in the Prospectus relating to this public offering, in each case on a “cashless” or “net exercise” basis, provided that any such Shares received upon such exercise shall be subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement;
   
(xlvii)to the Underwriters in connection with the public offering contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement;
   
(xlviii)pursuant to tenders, sales or other transfers pursuant to a bona fide third-party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of Shares involving a “change of control” (as defined below) of the Company (provided that if such transaction is not consummated, the Undersigned’s Shares shall remain subject to the restrictions set forth herein). For purposes of this clause (xiii), “change of control” means the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of at least 51% of total voting power of the voting stock of the Company;
   
(xlix)pursuant to the call or put provisions of existing employment agreements and equity grant documents, provided that any filing under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act in connection with such transfer shall indicate, to the extent permitted by such Section and the related rules and regulations, the reason for such disposition and that such transfer of Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for such capital stock was solely to the Company; or

 

 

 

 

(xv)beginning 30 days following the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and provided the undersigned has not sold shares in the offering to which the Underwriting Agreement relates, in an amount when aggregated with all other sales by such persons pursuant to a similar provision in similar agreements delivered to you by other directors, executive officers or shareholders of the Company pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement not to exceed 3.5 million Shares (collectively, the “Non-Seller Basket”); provided, that in the case of any transfer of Shares pursuant to this clause (xv), filings under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act shall only be permissible if such filing shall clearly indicate in the footnotes thereto that such transfer of Shares was pursuant to the circumstances described in this clause (xv);

provided that in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (A)(i) through (vii), (a) such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and (b) each transferee, beneficiary, donee, heir or distributee shall execute and deliver to the Underwriters a lock-up letter in the form of this Lock-Up Agreement; and provided, further, that in the case of any transfer or distribution (other than as a result of the vesting of Shares under restricted stock awards) pursuant to clauses (A)(i) through (iv), A(vi) through (vii), (A)(xi) and (B), no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Exchange Act, or other public announcement shall be required or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period) without the prior written consent of the Underwriters.

 

 

 

 

For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, (i) “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin and (ii) “change of control” shall mean the consummation of any bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction the result of which is that any “person” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act), or group of persons, other than the Company, becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 of the Exchange Act) of a majority of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company.

 

Nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall prevent the undersigned from making a demand for, or exercising any right with respect to, the registration of the Undersigned’s Shares, except for any such demand or any such exercise that is publicly disclosed (or required to be publicly disclosed) by the undersigned or any of its affiliates prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period; provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to take an action in violation of Section 6(g) of the Underwriting Agreement.

This Lock-Up Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Lock-Up Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflict of laws principles thereof.
