This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 2”) relates to and amends the Statement of Beneficial Ownership on Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto of (i) Mason Capital Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mason Capital Management”), (ii) Kenneth M. Garschina and (iii) Michael E. Martino (hereinafter sometimes collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons”), initially filed jointly by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 1, 2011 (the “Statement” and, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on April 4, 2011, and this Amendment No. 2, this “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Shares”), of Hubbell Incorporated, a Connecticut corporation (the “Company”).
| Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. |
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:
All of the funds used in making the purchases of the Shares of Class A Common Stock came from the working capital of Mason Capital LP, Mason Capital Master Fund and the Managed Accounts. The aggregate purchase price of the Shares of Class A Common Stock was approximately $44,959,490.
| Item 4 | Purpose of Transaction |
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on a regular basis. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to, without limitation, purchase, hold, vote, trade, exchange, sell short, dispose or otherwise deal in the Class A Common Stock, in open market or private transactions, block sales or purchases or otherwise, and at such times as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, changes in market prices of such Class A Common Stock, changes in the Company’s operations, business strategy or prospects, or from the sale or merger of the Company.
In order to evaluate their investment, the Reporting Persons may routinely monitor the Company’s share price, business, assets, operations, financial condition, prospects, business development, management, competitive and strategic matters, capital structure and prevailing market conditions, as well as alternative investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and other investment considerations. Consistent with their investment research methods and evaluation criteria, the Reporting Persons may discuss such matters with the management or directors of the Company, other shareholders, industry analysts, existing or potential strategic partners or competitors, investment and financing professionals, sources of credit, other investors and any applicable governmental agencies. Such factors and discussions may materially affect the Reporting Persons’ investment purpose and may result in the Reporting Persons’ modifying their ownership of Class A Common Stock, exchanging information with the Company pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements, proposing changes in the Company’s operations, governance or capitalization, or in proposing one or more of the other actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
Further, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to revise their plans or intentions and/or to formulate other plans and/or make other proposals, and take any and all actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they may deem appropriate, including any or all of the actions set forth in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, or acquire additional Class A Common Stock or dispose of some or all of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by them, in open market or private transactions, block sales or purchases or otherwise, in each case, to maximize the value of their investment in the Company in light of their general investment policies, market conditions and subsequent developments affecting the Company. The Reporting Persons may at any time reconsider and change their plans or proposals relating to the foregoing.
The Reporting Persons also own 1,497,503 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock (of which 51,941,438 shares were outstanding on October 14, 2013 pursuant to the 10-Q (as defined below)) and may, purchase, hold, vote, trade, exchange, sell short, dispose or otherwise deal in the Class B Common Stock, in open market or private transactions, block sales or purchases or otherwise, and at such times as they deem advisable to benefit from, among other things, changes in market prices of such Class A Common Stock, changes in the Company’s operations, business strategy or prospects, or from the sale or merger of the Company.
The Reporting Person may also enter into derivative transactions with respect to securities of the Company.
