Introductory Statement

 

This Amendment No. 2 (this Amendment) amends the Schedule 13D initially filed by Lord Ashcroft (Ashcroft) on October 23, 2008 (the Original Filing) and amended by the Schedule 13 filed by Ashcroft on October 16, 2013 (the First Amended Filing) relating to shares of the Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the Common Stock), of ABM Industries Incorporated (the Issuer).  Information reported in the Original Filing, as amended by the First Amended Filing, remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended or superseded by information contained in this Amendment.  As described herein, the Reporting Person no longer has beneficial ownership of more than 5% of the Common Stock and accordingly this Amendment is the final amendment to the Original Filing and constitutes an “exit filing” for the Reporting Person.

 

Item 5.                          Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

The disclosure in Item 5(a)-(b) of the First Amended Filing is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

As of April 8, 2015, Ashcroft directly or indirectly beneficially owns 2,058,921 shares, or approximately 3.677%, of the Issuer’s Common Stock, and Ashcroft has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with respect to all of the shares directly or indirectly beneficially owned by him.  The percentage owned by Ashcroft is calculated based on 55,992,396 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of February 25, 2015, as reported in the quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2015.

 

The disclosure in Item 5(c) of the First Amended Filing is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:
