CUSIP No. 680665205SCHEDULE 13D/A Page 7 of 10 Pages

 

This Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 31, 2015 (the "Original Schedule 13D" and together with this Amendment No. 1, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Olin Corporation, Ltd., a Virginia corporation (the "Issuer"). This Amendment No. 1 amends Items 3 and 5 as set forth below.

 

 

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
  Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
   
  Funds for the purchase of the 5,383,601 shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates were derived from working capital of ACP and margin account borrowings made in the ordinary course of business.  In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time.  Since other securities are held in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the 5,383,601 shares of Common Stock reported herein. A total of $136,272,755 was paid to acquire the 5,383,601 shares of Common Stock reported herein.  ACPGP, ACA and Messrs. Atchinson or Gross control the investing and trading in securities of ACP. None of ACPGP, ACA or Messrs. Atchinson or Gross directly hold any shares of Common Stock.

 

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
  Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:
   
(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentages of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.  The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon 77,527,437 shares of Common Stock reported to be outstanding as of August 5, 2015 in Amendment No. 4 to the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4/A, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on September 2, 2015.
   
(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition.
   
(c) The transactions in the shares of Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 1 by ACP, which were all in the open market, are set forth in Schedule A, and are incorporated herein by reference. The other Reporting Persons did not enter into any transactions in the shares of Common Stock within the past sixty days.
   

 

CUSIP No. 680665205SCHEDULE 13D/A Page 8 of 10 Pages

 

(d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such shares of Common Stock.
   
(e) Not applicable.
