Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the Common Stock of Coleman Cable, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 1530 Shields Drive, Waukegan, Illinois 60085.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

The Reporting Person acquired 258,434 shares of Common Stock from David Bistricer and acquired 1,812,586 shares of Common Stock of the Company from The DB 2006 Trust. No consideration was paid for these shares.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

General

The Reporting Person acquired and currently holds its shares of Common Stock for investment purposes, subject to activities related to the transactions contemplated by the agreements described in this Item 4, including, without limitation, tendering certain shares of common stock in connection with the Merger Agreement (defined below) and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the other matters described in this Item 4 and in Item 6.

On December 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), among the Company, Southwire Company, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Cubs Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). In connection with the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub entered into a Tender and Support Agreement, dated as of December 20, 2013, with The DB 2006 Trust (the “Support Agreement”). On January 21, 2014, The DB 2006 Trust transferred all of its shares subject to the Support Agreement to the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person joined the Support Agreement.

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Merger Sub commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company at a price of $26.25 per Share in cash, net to the seller in cash but subject to any applicable withholding of taxes.

The obligation of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer is subject to the condition that there be validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer a number of Shares representing at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis as of the scheduled expiration of the Offer (assuming the issuance of all shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding options and other rights to purchase shares of Common Stock) (such condition, the “Minimum Condition”). The Minimum Condition may not be waived by Merger Sub without the prior written consent of the Company. The obligation of Merger Sub to consummate the Offer is subject to the expiration of the waiting period (and any extension thereof) under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, the completion of the marketing period for Parent’s financing and other customary closing conditions. Consummation of the Offer is not subject to a financing condition.

Following the consummation of the Offer and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company pursuant to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) as provided in the Merger Agreement, with the Company being the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each Share (other than (i) Shares owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries and (ii) Shares held by stockholders who have properly demanded appraisal of such Shares in accordance with the DGCL) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding of taxes.

The closing of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, and, depending on the availability of short form statutory merger procedures under the DGCL, adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Company’s stockholders may be required. The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub. The Company has agreed to operate its business in the ordinary course until the Effective Time. The Company has also agreed not to solicit or initiate discussions with third parties regarding other proposals to acquire the Company and to certain restrictions on its ability to respond to any such proposals.

Tender and Support Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, The DB 2006 Trust entered into the Support Agreement with Parent and Merger Sub. On January 21, 2014, The DB 2006 Trust transferred all of its shares subject to the Support Agreement to the Reporting Person, and the Reporting Person joined the Support Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement, the Reporting Person has agreed to tender 1,359,134 shares in the Offer on the terms and subject to the conditions of the Support Agreement. The shares subject to the Support Agreement comprise approximately 7.4% of all outstanding Shares as of the date of the Merger Agreement (not including restricted stock). The Support Agreement will terminate in certain circumstances, including upon termination of the Merger Agreement.

Except as described in this Item 4 of Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D; however, the Reporting Person, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management or the board of directors of the Company with respect to the business and affairs of the Company, and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing any such transactions and, in connection therewith, may discuss, evaluate and/or pursue any such transactions with advisors, the Company or other persons.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a)-(b) The following assumes that there are 18,501,016 shares of Common Stock outstanding. As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owns 2,071,020 shares of Common Stock of the Company, representing approximately 11.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

The Trustee does not own any shares of Common Stock of the Company. However, in addition to being the sole trustee for the Reporting Person, the Trustee is also the sole trustee for the Moric Bistricer 2013 Trust.
