Preamble
This Amendment No. 4 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 22, 2014, as heretofore amended (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Investment Technology Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.
As a result of the Termination of the Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, dated April 9, 2015 (the "Termination Agreement"), the Reporting Persons have terminated their status as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and Rule 13d-5(b)(1) promulgated thereunder with respect to the Common Stock. In connection with such termination, the beneficial ownership of each of the Reporting Persons has fallen below the Schedule 13D reporting threshold and this Amendment No. 4 constitutes an "exit filing" for each of the Reporting Persons.
Item 2. | IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND |
Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: | |
As a result of the Termination Agreement, each of the Reporting Persons are no longer members of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be Reporting Persons immediately after the filing of this Amendment No. 4. A copy of the Termination Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein. |
Item 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: |
On April 8, 2015, Philadelphia Financial, Mr. Hughes and Voce Capital Management (collectively, the "Stockholder Group") entered into an agreement with the Issuer (the "Cooperation Agreement") regarding the composition of the Issuer's board of directors (the "Board"). Under the terms of the Cooperation Agreement, the Board (i) will, no later than five days following the execution of the Cooperation Agreement, increase the size of the Board to nine members and appoint R. Jarrett Lilien ("Mr. Lilien") to the Board; (ii) agreed to appoint Mr. Lilien as a member of the Board's Capital Committee; and (iii) agreed to include Mr. Lilien as a member of the Issuer's slate of recommended director candidates for election to the Board at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the "Annual Meeting"). In addition, the Board agreed to commence a search process, promptly following the Annual Meeting, to add an additional director to the Board and to confer with the Stockholder Group regarding such search process. |
CUSIP No. 46145F105 | SCHEDULE 13D/A | Page 13 of 15 Pages |
Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Reporting Persons also agreed to certain customary standstill provisions, such provisions to last until the earlier of (x) the date which is 30 days prior to the last day on which notice of a stockholder's intent to make director nominations at or bring other business before the Issuer's 2016 annual meeting of stockholders must be submitted pursuant to the Issuer's Amended and Restated By-laws and (ii) such date, if any, of a breach by the Issuer in any material respects of its obligations under the Cooperation Agreement if such breach has not been cured within 30 days following written notice of such breach from the Stockholder Group. Each member of the Stockholder Group also agreed to cause all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it or him to be present for quorum purposes and to be voted in favor of any and all directors nominated by the Board for election or other business that may become any shareholder meeting during the Standstill Period, subject to certain exceptions. The foregoing summary of the Cooperation Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Cooperation Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein. |
Item 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Item 5(e) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows: | |
(e) As a result of the Termination Agreement, on April 9, 2015, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. |
Item 6. | CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows: | |
The Reporting Persons are parties to the Termination Agreement, as defined and described in the Preamble above, and the Cooperation Agreement, as defined and described in Item 4 above. A copy of each of the Termination Agreement and the Cooperation Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference herein.
Except as set forth herein and as previously reported in the Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, understandings or relationships among the Reporting Persons or between the Reporting Persons and any other person with respect to the Common Stock. |
Item 7. | MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS |
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following: | |
Exhibit | Description |
2 | Termination of Joint Filing and Solicitation Agreement, dated April 9, 2015 |
3 | Cooperation Agreement, dated April 8, 2015 |
