SCHEDULE 13D
Page 4 of 9
 

 The Schedule 13D, dated August 18, 2015, is filed by ORIX HLHZ Holding LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“HLHZ”), and ORIX Corporation, a Japan corporation (“ORIX” and, together with HLHZ, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to Class A Common Stock of Houlihan Lokey, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is hereby amended as set forth below. This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D does not restate disclosures in the original Schedule 13D that are not being amended, and should be read in conjunction with the original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings provided in the original Schedule 13D.
 
The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to reflect the following:
(i)
On February 6, 2017, HLHZ and ORIX (USA) Corporation, its sole shareholder, entered into a Forward Share Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with the Issuer providing for the repurchase on April 5, 2017 by the Issuer of a number of shares of Class B Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock sold by the Issuer in the Offering (as defined below).  The Purchase Agreement became effective on February 14, 2017 upon the closing of the Offering.
(ii)
On February 8, 2017, the Issuer and certain selling stockholders holding shares through the HL Voting Trust entered into an Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to sell 6,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to the underwriters named therein (with a 30-day option for the underwriters to purchase an additional 900,000 shares) and the selling stockholders holding shares through the HL Voting Trust agreed to sell 2,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock to the underwriters (with a 30-day option for the underwriters to purchase an additional 300,000 shares), in connection with a registered public offering (the “Offering”).  The shares of Class A Common Stock sold by the selling stockholders were issued upon conversion of Class B common stock.
Item 2. Purpose of Transaction
The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment, and citizenship of each director and executive officer of ORIX are set forth on Annex A hereto and are incorporated by reference herein.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Purchase Agreement, which is described further under Item 6 below, represents a plan or proposal by the Reporting Persons relating to the disposition of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer.  See Item 6 below for a further description of the Purchase Agreement.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The 51,895,690 shares of Class A Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons consist of the following shares receivable upon conversion of a like number of shares of Class B Common Stock:
 
Shares of Class A Common Stock Beneficially Owned
Percentage of Class A Common Stock Represented (a)
Reporting Persons
21,610,331
50.9%
HL Voting Trust
30,285,359
59.3%
Total
51,895,690
71.4%

(a)
Based on (i) 12,826,811 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of February 3, 2017 as reported in the Issuer’s final prospectus relating to the Offering, dated February 8, 2017 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 10, 2017, plus (ii) 8,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock newly issued in connection with the Offering. Each calculation assumes conversion of the Class B Common Stock into the number of shares of Class A Common Stock listed in that row and assumes no other holders of Class B Common Stock convert their shares.
 
 

CUSIP No. 441593100
SCHEDULE 13D
Page 5 of 9
 
By reason of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own the shares in the HL Voting Trust; however, the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares.  Together, the parties to the Stockholders’ Agreement hold 96.1% of the voting power of the Issuer’s outstanding capital stock.
 
No other person is known to the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Subject Shares beneficially owned by any of the Reporting Persons.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Purchase Agreement
Under the Purchase Agreement, on April 5, 2017, the Issuer will repurchase 6,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock from HLHZ at a price of $28.08 per share, which equals the number of shares and price per share of Class A Common Stock sold by the Issuer to the underwriters in the Offering. The number of shares covered by the Purchase Agreement will increase to the extent that the underwriters exercise their 30-day option to purchase up to 900,000 additional shares from the Issuer.  In the event a dividend is paid on the Issuer’s common stock with a record date prior to April 5, 2017, the purchase price per share under the Purchase Agreement will be reduced by the per share amount of any such dividend paid to ORIX USA on the shares of Class B Common Stock subject to the Purchase Agreement.  The Purchase Agreement was conditioned only upon the closing of the Offering, which occurred on February 14, 2017. The rights and obligations of each party under the Purchase Agreement are non-transferrable without the consent of the non-transferring party. A certificate representing the shares of Class B Common Stock covered by the Purchase Agreement and the purchase price therefor are being held in escrow, and will be automatically released by the escrow agent in settlement of the Purchase Agreement on April 5, 2017.  Prior to April 5, 2017, HLHZ will retain all voting rights in respect of, and will receive any dividends payable on, such shares, and  such shares will continue to count towards HLHZ’s ownership thresholds under the Stockholders’ Agreement.
Lock-Up Agreement
In connection with the Offering, HLHZ entered into a lock-up agreement (the “Lock-Up Agreement”) pursuant to which HLHZ agreed, among other things and with certain exceptions, not to sell or transfer any Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock (collectively, “Common Stock”) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, for 90 days after February 8, 2017 without first obtaining the written consent of the representatives of the underwriters.
 The foregoing summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement and the Lock-Up Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits D and E hereto, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein. HLHZ continues to be a party to the Stockholders’ Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits B and C hereto, respectively, and are described in the original Schedule 13D.
