The Reporting Persons previously filed a Schedule 13D with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 2, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on December 8, 2006 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on March 14, 2008 (“Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3 thereto filed with the SEC on September 1, 2009 (“Amendment No. 3”), Amendment No. 4 thereto filed with the SEC on October 26, 2009 (“Amendment No. 4”), Amendment No. 5 thereto filed with the SEC on January 22, 2010 (“Amendment No. 5”), and Amendment No. 6 thereto filed with the SEC on June 24, 2010 (the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5, and Amendment No. 6 are collectively referred to herein as the “Original Schedule 13D”).  As disclosed in Amendment No. 6 to the Original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons determined to no longer file amendments to the Original Schedule 13D jointly with the JLL Reporting Persons (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D).  Accordingly, the Reporting Persons filed a separate Schedule 13D with the SEC on March 16, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on April 17, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the SEC on June 19, 2012 (the “Schedule 13D”).  Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D.  All capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2.  Identity and Background

Item 2(a) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

This Amendment No. 3 is filed by (i) Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“WP IX”); (ii) Warburg Pincus IX GP L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“WP IX GP”), the general partner of WP IX; (iii) WPP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WPP GP”), the general partner of WP IX GP; (iv) Warburg Pincus Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“WP Partners”), the sole member of WPP GP; (v) Warburg Pincus Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“WP Partners GP”), the general partner of WP Partners; (vi) Warburg Pincus & Co., a New York general partnership (“WP”), the managing member of WP Partners GP; (vii) Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company (“WP LLC”), which manages WP IX; and (viii) Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy, who are Managing General Partners of WP and Managing Members and Co-Chief Executive Officers of WP LLC and may be deemed to control the entities listed in clauses (i) through (vii).  Messrs. Kaye and Landy disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares held by such entities listed in clauses (i) through (vii).  WP IX, WP IX GP, WPP GP, WP Partners, WP Partners GP, WP, WP LLC, Mr. Kaye and Mr. Landy collectively are referred to as the “Reporting Persons.”

The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)-3 of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The agreement among the Reporting Persons to file this Schedule 13D jointly in accordance with rule 13d-1(k)(1) of the Exchange Act is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
 
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

WP IX will obtain the funds used to acquire any securities purchased by it or by one of its affiliates pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter (as defined below), as described in Item 4 below, from capital contributions of its limited partner investors.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

On April 13, 2015, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which it will acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of ProBuild Holdings LLC (“ProBuild”).  As a condition to

 
11

 

a debt commitment that the Company has received in connection with its proposed acquisition of ProBuild, the Company is obligated to raise at least $100 million of net proceeds from the sale of its equity securities.  The Reporting Persons understand that the Company intends to raise such proceeds from a public offering of shares of the Company’s Common Stock.  Pursuant to an equity commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) among WP IX, JLL Fund V, and the Company, dated April 13, 2015, that was required by the sellers of ProBuild, in the event that the Company is unable to raise such proceeds in a public offering of its equity securities, JLL Fund V has agreed to purchase $40 million of the Company’s Common Stock and WP IX has agreed to purchase $60 million of the Company’s Common Stock, in each case, at a purchase price per share of the Company’s Common Stock equal to the lower of (i) the ten-day weighted average volume closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the period ended March 26, 2015, and (ii) a discount of twenty percent (20%) from the ten-day weighted average volume closing price of the Company’s Common Stock for the period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s acquisition of ProBuild.  Pursuant to the requirements of the Nasdaq Stock Market, the Company has committed to seek approval from its stockholders for the possible issuance of Common Stock to WP IX and JLL Fund V pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter.

As of the date of this Amendment No. 3, except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, there are no current plans or proposals of the Reporting Persons that relate to or would result in any of the actions identified in Item 4(a) through Item 4(j).

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
Section (a), Section (b), and Section (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) By virtue of its direct ownership of 24,863,266 shares of Common Stock of the Company, WP IX may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 24,863,266 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which represents 25.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. The percentages used in this Schedule 13D are calculated based upon a total of 98,225,978 shares of Common Stock of the Company issued and outstanding as of February 27, 2015, as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2015. As a result of their respective relationships with WP IX and each other, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of 24,863,266 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which represents 25.3% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.

(b) Each of WP IX GP, WPP GP, WP Partners, WP Partners GP and WP may be deemed to share with WP IX, the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 24,863,266 shares of Common Stock of the Company, which WP IX may be deemed to beneficially own as of the date of this filing. Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy are Managing General Partners of WP and Managing Members and Co-Chief Executive Officers of WP LLC and may be deemed to control the other Reporting Persons. Messrs. Kaye and Landy disclaim beneficial ownership of all shares held by WP IX. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person, other than WP IX, or any of its affiliates is the beneficial owner of any shares of Common Stock of the Company for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose.  As a result of the voting arrangements set forth in the Stockholders’ Agreement (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D), JLL Holdings (as defined in the Original Schedule 13D) and the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have formed a group for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act.  Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company beneficially owned by the JLL Reporting Persons.1

(c)  During the last sixty (60) days there were no transactions in the Common Stock of the Company effected by the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of their general partners, members or directors.
 
____________________________
1  As of June 22, 2010, as disclosed in Amendment No. 6 to the Original Schedule 13D, the JLL Reporting Persons beneficially owned 24,344,584 shares of Common Stock, which represents 24.8% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon a total of 98,225,978 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of February 27, 2015, as set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on March 3, 2015.

Re: Equity Commitment


Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
Reference is hereby made to (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Builders FirstSource, Inc. a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”), ProBuild Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), and the other parties thereto (collectively, the “Sellers”) and (ii) that certain debt commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Purchaser and the lender parties thereto (the "Debt Commitment Letter").  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.
 
1.  BLDR Public Offering.  In order to satisfy a condition to funding set forth in paragraph 3 to Exhibit E to the Debt Commitment Letter, the Purchaser shall conduct a public offering of its common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “BLDR Common Stock”), which will provide net proceeds of at least $100 million (the “BLDR Public Offering”).
 
2.  Equity Commitment.  In the event that the Company is unable to consummate the BLDR Public Offering at any price (a “BLDR Public Offering Failure”), JLL Partners Fund V, L.P. (“JLL”) and Warburg Pincus Private Equity IX, L.P. (“WP,” and together with JLL, the “Equity Sources”) (directly or indirectly through an Affiliate that owns, directly or indirectly, the equity interests of Purchaser) shall purchase from the Purchaser, at the time of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement (the “Acquisition”) and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on a several and not a joint basis, $40 million of  BLDR Common Stock, in the case of JLL, and $60 million of BLDR Common Stock, in the case of WP, in each case, at the price set forth in paragraph 3 below (the “Equity Financing”).  The obligation of the Equity Sources to provide the Equity Financing pursuant to this paragraph 2 is subject to the conditions that: (a) all conditions to the obligations of Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement shall have been satisfied (other than those conditions that, by their terms, cannot be satisfied until the Closing, but which are capable of being satisfied at the Closing) and there shall have been no termination of the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof, (b) all of the conditions to the Debt Commitment Letter, other than the condition set forth in
 
 
 

 

paragraph 3 to Exhibit E thereof, shall have been satisfied and the applicable Debt Financing Sources have confirmed in writing that the Debt Financing has been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is also funded at the Closing by the Equity Sources on the terms set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter and (c) a BLDR Public Offering Failure shall have occurred.
 
3.  Purchase Price for BLDR Common Stock.  The purchase price for each share of BLDR Common Stock to be purchased pursuant to the terms of paragraph 2 above shall be the lower of (i) the ten-day weighted average volume closing price of the BLDR Common Stock for the period ended March 26, 2015 and (ii) a discount of twenty (20) percent from the ten-day weighted average volume closing price of the BLDR Common Stock for the period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the closing of the Acquisition.
 
4.  Limitations on Liability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary that may be expressed or implied herein or in the Purchase Agreement (or in any exhibit, schedule, certificate or other document executed or delivered in connection herewith or therewith) or otherwise, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that no Person other than the Equity Sources shall have any obligation hereunder and that, notwithstanding the fact that the Equity Sources may be partnerships, (i) no recourse hereunder or under any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith may be had against any former, current or future director, officer, employee, partner, Affiliate, agent, member, manager, stockholder, representative or assignee (any such person or entity, a “Representative”) of the Equity Sources or any Representative of any Representative of the Equity Sources (any such Representative, a “Secondary Representative”), whether by the enforcement of any judgment or assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, and (ii) no personal liability whatsoever will attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any Representative of the Equity Sources or any Secondary Representative under this letter or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith or the Purchase Agreement or for any claim based on or by reason of any obligations of the Equity Sources arising hereunder or thereunder.
 
5.  Seller’s Limited Enforcement Rights.
 
(a)  In the event that (i) all of the conditions to the Equity Sources obligations pursuant to paragraph 2(a) above have been satisfied, (ii) the Company and the Sellers have irrevocably confirmed in a written notice to Purchaser that the Company and the Sellers stand ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded and Purchaser complies with its obligations to effect the Closing pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, then the Closing would occur and (iii) the amounts committed to be funded under the Debt Commitment Letter have been funded or will be funded at the Closing if the amounts under the Equity Commitment Letter are funded at Closing, then (A) the Equity Sources shall provide the Equity Financing and (B) Seller shall be entitled, as an intended third party beneficiary of this letter, to enforce the Equity Sources’ obligations to provide the Equity Financing.
 
(b)  In the event any Seller or any of Affiliate thereof asserts in any litigation or other proceeding that any of the limitations on the Equity Sources’ liability herein are illegal, invalid

or unenforceable in whole or in part, or asserting any theory of liability against the Equity Sources or any Representative or Secondary Representative of the Equity Sources with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, other than (x) liability of the Equity Sources (and solely the Equity Sources) under the express provisions of this paragraph under the limited circumstances specified in this paragraph and (y) liability of the Purchaser (and solely the Purchaser) under the Purchase Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, then (i) the obligations of the Equity Sources under this letter shall terminate ab initio and be null and void, (ii) if the Equity Sources had previously made any payments under this letter, they shall be entitled to recover such payments, and (iii) neither the Equity Sources nor any Representative nor Secondary Representative of the Equity Sources (in each case, other than the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and Ancillary Agreements) shall have any liability to Seller with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement or under this letter.  Purchaser’s and Seller’s remedies against the Equity Sources under this letter shall, and are intended to, be the sole and exclusive direct or indirect remedies available to Purchaser and Seller against the Equity Sources and any Representatives and Secondary Representatives of the Equity Sources (in each case, other than the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement and Ancillary Agreements) in respect of any liabilities or obligations arising under, or in connection with, the Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this letter (including paragraph 4 above and this paragraph 5) shall limit the remedies of any Seller against the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.
 
(c)  Except as expressly provided in this paragraph, nothing set forth in this letter shall be construed to confer upon or give to any Person other than Purchaser any rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause Purchaser to enforce, the commitment to consummate the Equity Financing.
 
6.  Syndication.  Nothing in this letter shall limit the right and ability of the Equity Sources to syndicate their rights and obligations hereunder to other Affiliates or co-investors prior to the Closing, provided that each of the Equity Sources shall remain liable for its obligations hereunder subject to the limitations hereunder.
 
7.  Stockholder Approval.
 
(a)  Pursuant to the listing requirements of  the NASDAQ Stock Market, the purchase of shares of BLDR Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2 above, may require approval by the holders of BLDR Common Stock.  Accordingly, the Purchaser agrees to (i) as soon as practical after the date hereof, prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a proxy statement relating to such matter and (ii) as soon as practicable after such proxy statement is cleared by the Staff of the SEC, call and hold a special meeting of its stockholders to  consider and vote on such matter.
 
(b)  In connection with the approval referred to in paragraph 7(a) above, each of JLL and WP, severally and not jointly, agree that all shares of BLDR Common Stock owned by it and its controlled Affiliates shall be present for purposes of voting at such meeting and shall be voted in favor of the matters referred to in paragraph 7(a) above.
 
 
3

 

(c)  Notwithstanding the commitments set forth in Paragraph 2 above, In the event that the approval  referred to in paragraph 7(a) above is not obtained and all of the conditions set forth in paragraph 2 above have been satisfied, then the Purchaser shall sell to the Equity Sources and the Equity Sources shall purchase from the Purchaser, Non- Voting Preferred Stock of the Purchaser for the respective amounts set forth in paragraph 2 above, which Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into BLDR Common Stock, immediately upon obtaining the approval referred to in paragraph 7(a) above, at a conversion price determined pursuant to paragraph 3 above
 
8.  Registration Rights.  In the event that the Equity Sources purchase shares of BLDR Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2 above, (a) all shares of BLDR Common Stock purchased  pursuant thereto shall be included as “Shares” pursuant to the terms of that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of January 21, 2010 among the Equity Sources and the Purchaser (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), (b) any Affiliates of the Equity Sources or co-investors who purchase shares of BLDR Common Stock pursuant to paragraph 2 above shall become parties to the Registration Rights Agreement and entitled to the benefits thereof and (c) Sections 3.01(b) and Section 4.12 of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be amended, as of the date of such purchase, in their entirety, as set forth in Annex A hereto.  For the avoidance of doubt, any underwriting fees and expenses associated with the Shares acquired pursuant hereto would be governed by the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
9.  Expense Reimbursement; Indemnification.  In consideration of the commitments contained herein, whether or not the Acquisition is consummated, Purchaser agrees to promptly pay, or cause to be paid, upon receipt of any request therefore, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Equity Sources in connection with their evaluation of, negotiations regarding and documentation for the transactions referenced herein, including, without limitation, expenses of counsel, accountants and other advisors.  Purchaser further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Equity Sources and their respective Representatives and Secondary Representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) against and from any and all Losses, liabilities, actions, suits, proceedings (including investigations or inquiries), claims, costs, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) that may be incurred by, asserted against or involve any of them as a result or in any way related to the transactions referenced in this letter; provided that no Person shall be indemnified as a result of the foregoing to the extent found by a final and non-appealable Order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely from the material breach of this agreement or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.  Purchaser further agrees to pay the Equity Sources upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred by it in connection with investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, suit or proceeding (including any inquiry or investigation).  The provisions of this paragraph and the following paragraph are independent of all of Purchaser’s other obligations hereunder and shall survive the termination of this letter.  Purchaser agrees that no Indemnified Person shall be required to (but at its sole election, may) seek indemnification from any other Person or Persons with respect to any matter for which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder and agrees, for the benefit of the Equity Sources and their respective Representatives and Secondary Representatives to waive any right to contribution from the Equity Sources and their respective Representatives and Secondary Representatives; provided that the foregoing shall not be deemed to limit or waive any contractual rights that Purchaser may have against any Equity Source.  EACH OF THE INDEMNIFYING PARTIES

HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, THAT HAVE RESULTED FROM OR ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE ACTIVE OR PASSIVE OR THE SOLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF AN EQUITY SOURCE OR ANY OTHER INDEMNIFIED PERSON.
