Item 3.                      Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

On August 7, 2014, the Advent Funds entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Dennis J.

Item 4.                      Purpose of Transaction.

As described further in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, in connection with the purchase of the Purchased Shares, on August 7, 2014, the Reporting Persons have entered into a Support Agreement which contemplates (i) the expansion of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) to twelve members, (ii) the appointment David M. Mussafer and Steven J. Collins, each employees of AIC, to fill the resulting newly-created directorships, (iii) that Mr. Mussafer be offered the opportunity to serve and be appointed as co-Chairman of the Board and as a member of the nominating and governance committee of the Board; and (iv) that Mr. Collins be offered the opportunity to serve and be appointed as an observer to the audit committee of the Board and as a member of the compensation committee of the Board.  In connection with the Support Agreement, the Corporation also agreed to hire a consultant to evaluate the corporate governance policies, processes and practices of the Corporation, the Board and its committees.
 
The information set forth under Items 3, 5 and 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

The summary of the Support Agreement as described in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Support Agreement, which is attached to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.

All of the Common Stock that is beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as reported herein was acquired for investment purposes.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Corporation continually.  Depending upon the results of such review and other factors that the Reporting Persons deem relevant to an investment in the Corporation, and, subject to the transfer restrictions, purchase restrictions and standstill obligations contained in the Support Agreement, as described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons may take or propose to take, alone or in conjunction with others including the Corporation, other actions intended to increase or decrease the Reporting Persons’ investment in the Corporation or the value of their investment in the Corporation, which could include one or more of the transactions or actions referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

 
Item 5.                                Interests in the Securities of the Issuer.
 
(a) & (b)  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as more fully described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D), subject to certain closing conditions, the Advent Purchaser will purchase an aggregate of 20,105,279 shares of Common Stock from Dennis J. Wilson (“Mr. Wilson”) and certain of his affiliates (together with Mr. Wilson, the “Wilson Entities”).  The Purchase Agreement contemplates that the Wilson Entities seek to convert 20,105,279 of their exchangeable shares into shares of Common Stock (the “Exchange”) immediately prior to closing and that the Advent Purchaser (as successor to the Advent Funds) will thereafter purchase such shares.  The Purchase Agreement will close upon the receipt of regulatory approval and the other customary conditions precedent contained therein.
 
In connection with signing the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby (together, the “Transaction”), the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of the Purchased Shares.  All stock ownership and percentage ownership figures contained in this Schedule 13D reflect the effect of the Transaction, including the Exchange.  Percentage ownership calculations are based on 135,628,854 outstanding common shares of the Corporation, which reflects the sum of the 115,523,575 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of June 9, 2014 and 20,105,279 shares anticipated to be converted via the Exchange.  The percentage ownership figures in this Schedule 13D do not indicate
 
 
 
 
27

 
 
 
the percentage ownership of all outstanding voting securities of the Corporation (Common Stock plus special voting stock).  The Purchased Shares represent approximately 13.85% of all outstanding voting securities of the Corporation.

The following table sets forth the aggregate number and percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person named in Item 2 of this Schedule 13D after taking the Transaction into effect.  The aggregate number and percentage of the Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person is calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act.

Stock Purchase Agreement
 
As described above, on August 7, 2014, the Advent Funds entered into the Purchase Agreement with the Wilson Entities pursuant to which the Advent Funds agreed to purchase the Purchased Shares.  Following the execution of the Purchase Agreement and the Support Agreement, the Advent Funds assigned all of their rights and obligations under such agreements to Advent Puma Acquisition Limited.  The Purchase Agreement contemplates that the Wilson Entities seek to convert 20,105,279 exchangeable shares into shares of Common Stock immediately prior to closing and that Advent Puma Acquisition Limited (as successor to the Advent Funds) will thereafter purchase such shares.  Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, Mr. Wilson has agreed for as long as the Advent Funds or their affiliates beneficially own at least 5,000,000 shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock, that Mr. Wilson will not permit any amendment to the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement that would adversely affect the Advent Funds.
 
Prior to closing, each of the Advent Funds and the Wilson Entities has committed to use reasonable best efforts to perform the actions necessary to permit consummation of the Transaction.  The Purchase Agreement will close upon the receipt of regulatory approval and the concurrent consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Support Agreement described below.  The closing of the Purchase Agreement is also subject to customary closing conditions, such as the parties’ representations being true and correct at the time of closing.  The Purchase Agreement will terminate upon written notice by either party if the other party has breached one or more representations that remain uncured for 30 days or any time after the 100 day anniversary of signing.
 
The summary of the Purchase Agreement as described in this Item 6 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, which is attached to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Support Agreement
 
On August 7, 2014, the Advent Funds entered into a support agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Dennis J. Wilson and the Corporation in connection with the Purchase Agreement.  Pursuant to the Support Agreement, effective as of the closing of the transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, the Board agreed to (i) expand the size of the Board from ten directors to twelve directors and to appoint David M. Mussafer and Steven J. Collins to fill the resulting newly-created directorships; (ii) offer Mr. Mussafer the opportunity to serve and be appointed as co-Chairman of the Board and as a member of the nominating and governance committee of the Board; and (iii) offer Mr. Collins the opportunity to serve and be appointed as an observer to the audit committee of the Board and as a member of the compensation committee of the Board.
 
Pursuant to the Support Agreement, the Advent Funds and certain affiliated entities (collectively, “Advent”) and Mr. Wilson have agreed not to, directly or indirectly, solicit proxies and not to, directly or indirectly, participate in a referendum, make a stockholder proposal, or participate in any contested solicitation with respect to the Corporation for a period ending the day after the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders (but in any event not later than July 31, 2016).  Further, Advent and Mr. Wilson have agreed not to directly or indirectly offer to effect or otherwise support an acquisition of or extraordinary transaction involving the Corporation or any tender offer, exchange offer, or other change of control transaction for 18 months following the closing of the Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement Period”) without the consent of the Board.
 
 
 
 
 
30

 
 
 
 
Prior to the earlier of the closing or termination of the Support Agreement, the Corporation has agreed not to (i) amend its certificate of incorporation or bylaws or (ii) authorize, issue or reclassify any capital stock other than in the ordinary course to the Corporation’s employees.
 
Prior to the earlier of the end of the Support Agreement Period and the occurrence of a change of control of the Corporation, Advent has agreed not to transfer any shares of Common Stock without the prior written consent of the Corporation (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed), subject to certain exceptions, including (i) if the closing price for such Common Stock (measured by a 5-day weighted average) is less than $30 per share, (ii) open market sales, (iii) non-open market sales to persons other than competitors of the Corporation or activist investment funds, (iii) transactions with affiliates and (iv) transfers to Mr. Wilson or his affiliates, provided that they would not collectively beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation.  During the Support Agreement Period, Advent has also agreed not to purchase additional shares of the Common Stock, subject to certain exceptions including (w) transfers to its affiliates, (x) purchases from Mr. Wilson or his affiliates, provided that Advent and its affiliates would not collectively beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation, (y) purchases on the open market, provided that Advent and its affiliates would not collectively beneficially own 20% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the Corporation and (z) purchases when the closing price for such Common Stock (measured by a 5-day weighted average) is less than $30 per share.
 
In addition, under the Support Agreement Advent has agreed with the Corporation during the Support Agreement Period to cause all voting securities of the Corporation beneficially owned by it and/or its affiliates to be voted (i) in favor of any nominee or director nominated by the Board or the nominating and governance committee of the Board and (ii) against the removal of any director nominated by the Board or the nominating and governance committee of the Board.  Mr. Wilson has similarly agreed to vote for the Board’s nominees.  Each of Advent’s and Mr. Wilson’s voting agreement with the Company terminates upon the earlier of the end of the Support Agreement Period, the date on which such party no longer has the right to designate a board nominee (as described below), and the occurrence of a change of control, liquidation or similar event.
 
Pursuant to the Support Agreement, Advent will have a continuing right to nominate (i) two designees to the Board for so long as Advent beneficially owns at least 10% of the Corporation’s voting securities or (ii) one designee to the Board for so long as Advent beneficially owns at least 6.75% (but less than 10%) of the Corporation’s voting securities.  Further, for so long as Advent beneficially owns at least 6.75% of the Corporation’s voting securities, one of its nominees will have the opportunity to serve as co-Chairman of the Board and at least one of its nominees will have the opportunity to join each of the Board’s committees (subject to independence and other applicable requirements).
 
In addition, Mr. Wilson will have a continuing right to nominate one designee to the Board for so long as he beneficially owns at least 8% of the Corporation’s voting securities.  In the event that Advent no longer beneficially owns at least 2% of the Corporation’s voting securities, Advent’s Board designee will be required to resign from the Board.  In the event Mr. Wilson no longer beneficially owns at least 4% of the Corporation’s voting securities or he takes any action that would violate his standstill obligations, his designee will be required to resign from the Board.
 
The Support Agreement contains various other terms and provisions, including with respect to non-disparagement, non-solicitation and nondisclosure entered into by the Corporation, Advent, and Mr. Wilson.
 
The Corporation agreed to engage a consultant promptly following the closing of the Support Agreement to evaluate the corporate governance policies, processes and practices of the Corporation, the Board and its committees and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the consultant to conclude its evaluation within 90 days.
 
 
 
 
 
31

 
 
 
 
The Support Agreement may be terminated (i) by the Corporation, Advent, or Mr. Wilson if the closing of the Support Agreement has not occurred within 100 days of the signing of the Support Agreement or (ii) by the Corporation, Advent, or Mr. Wilson upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement in the Support Agreement that remains uncured for 30 days following written notice to the other parties.  The Support Agreement will automatically terminate upon the termination of the Purchase Agreement.
 
The information set forth in Items 3, 4 and 5 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
 
The summary of the Support Agreement as described in this Item 4 does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Support Agreement, which is attached to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 99.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.  A copy of the press release issued by the Corporation in connection with the Support Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.
