CUSIP No. 131193104

SCHEDULE 13D/APage 6 of 8 Pages

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned ("Amendment No. 1"). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

 

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby and amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The 7,530,268 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $117.9 million.

 

The 7,293,268 Shares reported herein by JANA were acquired at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $114.4 million. Such Shares were acquired with investment funds in accounts managed by JANA and margin borrowings described in the following sentence. Such Shares are held by the investment funds managed by JANA in commingled margin accounts, which may extend margin credit to JANA from time to time, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and credit policies. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account. The margin accounts bear interest at a rate based upon the broker's call rate from time to time in effect. Because other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the Shares reported herein.

 

Mr. Lillie used a total of approximately $1.9 million in the aggregate to acquire the 135,000 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by him.

 

Ms. Davis used a total of approximately $176,000 in the aggregate to acquire the 12,000 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by her.

 

Mr. Farah used a total of approximately $1.4 million in the aggregate to acquire the 90,000 Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by him.

 

Funds for the purchase of the Shares reported herein as beneficially owned by each of the foregoing individuals were derived from the respective personal funds of each such individual.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

Item 5(a)–(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby and amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a) The aggregate percentage of Shares reported to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is based upon 94,106,526 Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2019, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 6, 2019.

 

As of the date hereof, JANA may be deemed to beneficially own 7,293,268 Shares, representing approximately 7.75% of the Shares outstanding.

 

As of the date hereof, Mr. Lillie may be deemed to beneficially own 135,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.14% of the Shares outstanding.

 

As of the date hereof, Ms. Davis may be deemed to beneficially own 12,000 Shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Shares outstanding.

 

 

CUSIP No. 131193104

SCHEDULE 13D/APage 7 of 8 Pages

As of the date hereof, Mr. Farah may be deemed to beneficially own 90,000 Shares, representing approximately 0.10% of the Shares outstanding.

 

By virtue of the Cooperation Agreement, JANA, Mr. Lillie, Ms. Davis and Mr. Farah may be deemed to have formed a "group" within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 7,530,268 Shares, representing approximately 8.00% of the outstanding Shares. Each of Mr. Lillie, Ms. Davis and Mr. Farah expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by JANA and each other. JANA expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares beneficially owned by each of Mr. Lillie, Ms. Davis and Mr. Farah.

 

(b) JANA has sole voting and dispositive power over the 7,293,268 Shares, which power is exercised by the Principal. Mr. Lillie has sole voting and dispositive power over the 135,000 Shares beneficially owned by him. Ms. Davis has sole voting and dispositive power over the 12,000 Shares beneficially owned by her. Mr. Farah has sole voting and dispositive power over the 90,000 Shares beneficially owned by him.

 

(c) On January 9, 2020, JANA had a non-transactional transfer in beneficial ownership over 562,676 of the Shares previously reported. Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons did not affect any transactions in the Shares during the past sixty days.
