Item 1.

SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) relates to the shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Anixter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) whose principal executive office is located at 2301 Patriot Blvd, Glenview, Illinois 60026. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Issuer on November 12, 2019 (the “13D”). All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. The Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by adding the information contained herein, and only those items amended are reported herein.

Item 4.

PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4(a-j) of the 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a-j) On January 10, 2020, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “WESCO Merger Agreement”) with WESCO International, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“WESCO”) that is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and Warrior Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO (“Warrior Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Warrior Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Issuer (the “WESCO Merger”), with the Issuer surviving the Merger and continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of WESCO.

The foregoing description of the WESCO Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the WESCO Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 5 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Concurrent with the execution and delivery of the Wesco Merger Agreement, the Issuer terminated that certain Second Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among CD&R Arrow Parent, LLC, CD&R Arrow Merger Sub, Inc., and the Company, dated as of January 1, 2020 (the “CD&R Merger Agreement”) in accordance with its terms, and Wesco paid the Termination Fee (as defined in the CD&R Merger Agreement) to CD&R Arrow Parent pursuant to Section 6.06(b) of the CD&R Merger Agreement. The termination of the CD&R Merger Agreement pursuant to its terms, terminated the Voting and Support Agreement dated as of October 30, 2019 to which each of the Reporting Persons (except Chai Trust) was a party. Immediately following the termination of the Voting and Support Agreement, and as an inducement and condition for Wesco and Warrior Merger Sub entering into the WESCO Merger Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons (except for Chai Trust) (each a “WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder”) have entered into a Voting and Support Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2020, with WESCO and the Issuer (the “WESCO Voting Agreement”). Pursuant to the WESCO Voting Agreement, each WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder has agreed, among other things, to vote or cause to be voted any issued and outstanding shares of the Common Stock beneficially owned by such WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder, or that may otherwise become beneficially owned by such WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder during the term of the WESCO Voting Agreement, in favor of adopting the WESCO Merger Agreement and against any action, agreement or proposal that could reasonably be expected to delay, postpone or adversely affect consummation of the WESCO Merger and other transactions contemplated by the WESCO Merger Agreement. Each WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder also agreed not to transfer shares of the Common Stock during the term of the WESCO Voting Agreement, subject to certain exceptions, including the ability to donate up to 600,000 shares of the Issuer Common Stock to charitable organizations, free of restrictions under the WESCO Voting Agreement. As of January 10, 2020, the WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholders held approximately 10.8% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer. The WESCO Voting Agreement will automatically terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) the effective time of the WESCO Merger, (ii) the termination of the WESCO Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (iii) for each WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder, the election of the WESCO Voting Agreement Stockholder to terminate the WESCO Voting Agreement following any amendment of the WESCO Merger Agreement that reduces or changes the form of consideration payable pursuant to the WESCO Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the WESCO Voting Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the WESCO Voting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 6 hereto and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.

INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by changing the first paragraph of Item 5 and paragraph (a, b) of Item 5 to read as follows:

As a result of entering into the Voting Agreement and the WESCO Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act. As a member of a group, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the members of the group as a whole. Except as otherwise disclosed herein, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims any beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each other Reporting Person.

(a, b) As of the date hereof, Chai Trust may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,028,299 shares of Common Stock (approximately 3.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding). This amount includes: (i) 526,277 Shares beneficially owned by KMJZ (approximately 1.6% of the total number of Shares outstanding); (ii) 362,147 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by SIT (approximately 1.1% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding); (iii) 55,587 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Alpha (approximately 0.2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding); (iv) 55,588 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by ZFT (approximately 0.2% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding); and (v) 28,700 shares of Common Stock held by QTIP (approximately 0.1% of the total number of Shares outstanding). Chai Trust shares voting and dispositive power with each of KMJZ, SIT, Alpha, QTIP and ZFT with respect to the shares of Common Stock held by each of KMJZ, SIT, Alpha, QTIP, and ZFT, respectively. As of the date hereof, each of the Revocable Trust and Samuel Zell may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 1,464,098 (approximately 4.3% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding including (i) 14,666 shares of Common Stock held directly by the Revocable Trust (approximately 0.0% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding) and (ii) 1,449,432 shares of Common Stock held directly by SZRT (approximately 4.3% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding). The Zell Family Foundation beneficially owns 1,147,940 shares of Common Stock (approximately 3.4% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding). The foregoing beneficial ownership percentages are based on 33,827,906 shares of Common Stock outstanding on December 31, 2019, as reported by the Issuer in its preliminary proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2020.
