Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 6") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on July 19, 2018 (the "Original Schedule 13D") by Mondelēz International, Inc. ("Mondelēz International") and Mondelēz International Holdings LLC ("MIH," and together with Mondelēz International, the "Reporting Person"), as amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on March 10, 2020, August 3, 2020, September 10, 2020, November 19, 2020 and June 10, 2021, respectively (the "Prior Amendments"), relating to common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") of Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 6, all items in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by the Prior Amendments, are unchanged and each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

The information set forth in Items 5 and 6 of this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4. On August 2, 2021, MIH agreed to sell 14,706,000 Shares to a financial services firm, acting as principal, at a price of $34.00 per Share, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Share Sale").

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Person currently has no plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)-(b) MIH owns 75,541,407 Shares, after giving effect to the Share Sale, constituting approximately 5.33% of the outstanding Shares. Mondelēz International may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by MIH. The information provided in response to Items 7-10 of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).

 

(c) On July 6, 2021, Mondelēz International acquired direct beneficial ownership of 29,184 Shares that had previously been issued by the Issuer to two former Mondelēz International designees to the Issuer's board of directors as compensation for their services as directors. Mondelēz International paid no consideration for such shares. In addition, as previously described in Amendment No. 5 to the Original Amendment, on June 7, 2021, MIH sold 28 million Shares in an underwritten public offering at a price of $35.62 per share. Except for the transactions described in this item 5(c) and the Share Sale, the Reporting Person has not, and to the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, none of the persons named in Schedule B has, effected any transactions in the Shares during the past 60 days.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

On August 2, 2021, MIH agreed to sell 14,706,000 shares in the Share Sale.

 

Item 7.
