This Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 15, 2017 (the "Original Schedule 13D" and together with this Amendment No. 1 to the Original Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on May 18, 2018 and this Amendment No. 2, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the ordinary shares, par value $0.001 (the "Ordinary Shares"), of Adient plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of Ireland (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 2 have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment No. 2 amends Items 5(a)-(c) and (e) as set forth below.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
   
Paragraphs (a) – (c) and (e) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
   
  (a) – (b)
  The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.  As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons beneficially own an aggregate of 4,166,140 Ordinary Shares, which Ordinary Shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by each of the Manager, Manager GP and Mr. Robbins, and which represent approximately 4.44% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. All percentages set forth herein are based upon a total of 93,793,433 Ordinary Shares outstanding, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2020.
   
  For purposes of disclosing the number of Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, Manager, Manager GP and Mr. Robbins may be deemed to own beneficially (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) all Ordinary Shares that are owned beneficially and directly by the Reporting Persons.  Each of Manager, Manager GP and Mr. Robbins disclaims beneficial ownership of such Ordinary Shares for all other purposes.
   
  (c) On May 6, 2020, the Manager distributed an aggregate of 2,384,350 Ordinary Shares to the investors in certain funds managed by the Manager.  Other than as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares during the past sixty days.
