This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by Nokia with respect to Alcatel Lucent Securities, and it hereby amends the statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D originally filed on January 26, 2016, as amended on February 10, 2016 (collectively with this Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D filed on January 26, 2016.

 

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“On March 8, 2016 Nokia acquired 11 820 932 Alcatel Lucent Shares in a private transaction in exchange for 0.5500 Nokia Shares for each Alcatel Lucent Share.

Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.”

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

“On March 16, 2016, Nokia entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the “Share Purchase Agreement”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as depositary (the “Depositary”) under the Depositary Agreement between the Depositary, Alcatel Lucent and all holders from time to time of the Alcatel Lucent American depositary receipts (“Alcatel Lucent ADRs”) as evidenced by Alcatel Lucent ADSs dated as of January 10, 2013 (the “Deposit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Share Purchase Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Nokia would acquire all Alcatel Lucent Shares underlying the remaining outstanding Alcatel Lucent ADRs after termination of the Alcatel Lucent ADR program, which is expected to occur on April 25, 2016. The Alcatel Lucent Shares will be purchased at the same exchange ratio as that offered in the Exchange Offer, i.e. 0.5500 Nokia Shares for each Alcatel Lucent Share.

On March 16, 2016, Nokia resolved to issue new Nokia Shares in deviation from shareholders’ pre-emptive rights based on a resolution by the Board of Directors pursuant to the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting held on December 2, 2015. These new Nokia Shares will be paid for by contribution in kind of the Alcatel Lucent Shares purchased from the Depositary.

The forgoing description of the Share Purchase Agreement is a summary and qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Share Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10 to this Amendment No. 2 and is incorporated herein by reference. “

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“As disclosed by Alcatel Lucent on February 22, 2016, there were 3 529 488 614 Alcatel Lucent Shares (including Alcatel Lucent Shares represented by Alcatel Lucent ADSs) outstanding as of February 15, 2016 and 3 532 222 975 theoretical Alcatel Lucent voting rights (including such rights represented by Alcatel Lucent ADSs) as of February 15, 2016.

Nokia beneficially owns 3 241 602 307 Alcatel Lucent Shares, including 316 470 276 Alcatel Lucent Shares represented by Alcatel Lucent ADSs.

Nokia beneficially owns 91.8% of the Alcatel Lucent Shares (including Alcatel Lucent Shares represented by Alcatel Lucent ADSs) representing 91.8% of the total outstanding voting power in Alcatel Lucent (including such rights represented by Alcatel Lucent ADSs).

* Mr. Alwan, Mr. Gorti and Mr. Guillén opted to accelerate their Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares pursuant to Alcatel Lucent’s acceleration offer to the holders of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares, described fully in the Exchange Offer/Prospectus. As a result, Mr. Alwan, Mr. Gorti and Mr. Guillén received an indemnity of Alcatel Lucent Shares subject to certain conditions and restrictions, including an undertaking to sell the Alcatel Lucent Share resulting from the acceleration of their Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares on the open market no later than two business days prior to the last day of the subsequent offering period. To facilitate this sale, Société Générale aggregated the Alcatel Lucent Shares resulting from the acceleration of Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares and sold them on the open market in small batches between January 7, 2016 and February 1, 2016. After completing the sale of all such Alcatel Lucent Shares, Société Générale averaged the sale price per Alcatel Lucent Share resulting from the acceleration of the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares over the period and distributed the proceeds to the former holders of the Alcatel Lucent Performance Shares.

(f) This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto. Any waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to

 

9


insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement.

(g) Each of Buyer and the Depositary have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed as if drafted jointly by Buyer and the Depositary and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(h) Prior to the Closing, each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing upon becoming aware of any events, circumstances, facts and occurrences arising subsequent to the date of this Agreement which would reasonably be likely to result in a material breach of a representation or warranty or covenant of such party in this Agreement or which would reasonably be likely to have the effect of making any representation or warranty of such party in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect; provided that a breach of this Section 13(h) shall not be considered for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 3.

(i) Buyer agrees, except to the extent expressly prohibited by Finnish law, to reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless the Depositary and its agents and affiliates (other than J.P. Morgan Limited in its capacity as investment banker to Buyer in connection with the Buyer’s offer to purchase all outstanding shares of the Company) (each, a “Concerned Party”) from and against any and all claims, actions, judgments, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, penalties, transfer or other taxes, and documented expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) (each, a “Loss”) which may be paid, incurred or suffered by any Concerned Party, or to which any Concerned Party may become subject, arising out of or incident to (a) the untruth, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer hereunder, (b) the failure of Buyer to perform any agreement, covenant or obligation required by this Agreement to be performed by it, (c) the sale by the Depositary of the Sale Shares to Buyer, except to the extent a Loss described in this clause (c) is caused by such Concerned Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (d) the issuance by the Buyer of the Buyer Shares constituting the Aggregate Consideration (whether represented by interim shares representing Buyer Shares or final Buyer Shares) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Prior to making a claim against Buyer pursuant to the Section 11(i)(c), the Concerned Party shall seek, in good faith, the indemnification of the Company under the Deposit Agreement (but need not exhaust all its rights against the Company in connection therewith), which claim against the Buyer in accordance herewith may include reasonable costs and expenses incurred in pursuing claims against the Company. The provisions of this Section 11(i) shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

(j) Subject to the next sentence of this subparagraph, this Agreement is governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts to be performed wholly in such state, and shall inure to the benefit of, and the

 

10


obligations created hereby shall be binding upon, the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the subscription and issuance of the Buyer Shares and the delivery thereof to the Depositary pursuant to this Agreement is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Finland.

(k) Each of Buyer and the Depositary hereby irrevocably consents and agrees that any legal action or proceeding against it or any of its assets with respect to any of the obligations arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be brought by Buyer or by the Depositary exclusively in any state or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, City and State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer and the Depositary hereby irrevocably submits to and accepts with regard to any such action or proceeding, for itself and in respect of its property, the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action therein. Each party hereto agrees that the summons and complaint or any other process in any action may be served by notice given in accordance with this Agreement, or as otherwise permitted by law. Each party hereto irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury. The Buyer has appointed Nokia USA Inc., 6000 Connection Drive, Irving, Texas 75039, as its authorized agent upon which process may be served in any action arising out of or incident to this Agreement.

(l) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be amended orally, but may only be amended by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto.
