EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to the statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by the undersigned with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 1, 2015 (the “Original 13D” and, as amended through the date hereof, the “Schedule 13D”).  The Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect, except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1.  The Schedule 13D is filed by the Reporting Persons as defined in Item 2(a) of the Original 13D.  The Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 (the “Common Stock”), of Univar Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

Item 5.   Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

(a), (b)    The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own in the aggregate 24,313,213 shares of Common Stock.  Based upon a total of 137,987,407 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of April 18, 2016, as reflected in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed on May 5, 2016, the Reporting Persons’ shares represent approximately 17.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

 

All 24,313,213 shares of Common Stock reported are directly owned by Univar N.V. (the “Stockholder”).

 

Ulysses Luxembourg and Ulysses Finance collectively own indirectly all of the equity interests of Univar N.V. and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own shares held by Univar N.V.

 

Ulysses Participation owns a majority of the equity interests of each of Ulysses Luxembourg and Ulysses Finance and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own shares held by each of them.

 

The Fund Partnerships collectively own all of the equity interests of Ulysses Participation.  As a result, the Fund Partnerships could be deemed to beneficially own all of the shares owned by Univar N.V.

 

The Fund Partnerships each have a general partner, which general partners are one of the General Partners.  By virtue of their relationship to the Limited Partnerships, the General Partners may be deemed to beneficially own shares held by Univar N.V.

 

Each of the Reporting Persons (other than to the extent it directly holds securities reported herein) disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by the other Reporting Persons, except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein.

 

(c)           On June 3, 2016, the Stockholder sold 4.5 million shares of Common Stock at a price of $17.55 in a privately-negotiated transaction.
