ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of Whole Foods Market, Inc., a Texas corporation (the “Issuer”).

The address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices is 550 Bowie Street, Austin, Texas 78703.

 

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

The disclosure provided in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:

 

  (a) GEI V is the record owner of 8,834,578 shares of Common Stock as of the date of this statement. GEI Side V is the record owner of 2,650,089 shares of Common Stock as of the date of this statement. Thyme is the record owner of 85,510 shares of Common Stock as of the date of this statement. LGP is the record owner of 1,140 restricted shares of Common Stock as of the date of this statement.

The names of the directors and executive officers of LGPM are set forth on Schedule 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The securities purchase agreement entered into by GEI V, GEI Side V (together with GEI V, the “Investors”) and the Issuer on November 5, 2008 and amended on April 12, 2009 (as amended, the “Purchase Agreement”), gives the Investors a contractual right to designate one person for nomination for election to the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”) so long as the Reporting Persons’ aggregate ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock is at least 7% of the shares then outstanding. At all times that the Investors have the right to designate persons for nomination for election to the Board, the Issuer is obligated to nominate such designees, and to recommend the shareholders vote in favor of such designees. The Investors automatically lose the right to designate one person for nomination for election to the Board if the Reporting Persons’ ownership of the Issuer’s Common Stock drops below the 7% threshold.

On July 27, 2012, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 591,112 shares at a weighted average price per share of $92.9203 on the open market for total proceeds of $54,926,304.37, net of commissions. Specifically, GEI V sold 451,352 shares, GEI Side V sold 135,391 shares, and Thyme sold 4,369 shares. On July 30, 2012, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 319,288 shares at a weighted average price per share of $91.9481 on the open market for total proceeds of $29,357,924.95 net of commissions. Specifically, GEI V sold 243,797 shares, GEI Side V sold 73,131 shares, and Thyme sold 2,360 shares. On July 31, 2012, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 429,280 shares at a weighted average price per share of $92.0088 on the open market for total proceeds of $39,497,537.66, net of commissions. Specifically, GEI V sold 327,783 shares, GEI Side V sold 98,324 shares, and Thyme sold 3,173 shares. As a result of the dispositions reported herein, the Reporting Persons’ aggregate ownership of the Issuer’s

CUSIP No. 966837106    Schedule 13D/A    Page 12 of 17 Pages

 

Common Stock fell below the aforementioned 7% threshold, based on the 183,563,879 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 11, 2012 reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q for the period ended April 8, 2012. The Investors thus lost their contractual right to designate one person for nomination for election to the Board and, at the next annual meeting of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons will no longer be entitled to designate a nominee for election to the Board.

Except as disclosed in this Item 4, none of GEI V, GEI Side V, Thyme nor any of the other Reporting Persons has any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events described in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons, however, will take such actions with respect to the Reporting Persons’ investments in the Issuer as deemed appropriate in light of existing circumstances from time to time, and reserve the right to dispose of securities of the Issuer, to enter into hedging relationships with respect to such securities, or to formulate other purposes, plans or proposals in the future depending on market conditions and/or other factors.
