SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP NO. 071734107 Page 9 of 11
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This Amendment No. 2 supplements the information set forth in the
Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as amended from time to time (the
"Schedule 13D"), relating to the Common Stock of the Issuer. All capitalized
terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the 13D.
The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall
be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.
The Schedule 13D is hereby supplementally amended as follows:
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
On May 10, 2022, the Issuer's reported outstanding shares of Common
Stock as reported in the Issuer's Form 10Q for the quarterly period ended
March 31, 2022 caused the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons to
decrease by more than 1% since the previous filing to this Schedule 13D.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The responses to Items 3, 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated
herein by reference.
(a) and (b). Set forth below is the beneficial ownership of shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer for each person named in Item 2. Shares reported
as beneficially owned by ValueAct Master Fund are also reported as
beneficially owned by (i) ValueAct Management L.P. as the manager of each
such investment partnership, (ii) ValueAct Management LLC, as General
Partner of ValueAct Management L.P., (iii) ValueAct Holdings, as the majority
owner of the membership interests of VA Partners I, (iv) ValueAct Holdings
II, as the sole owner of the limited partnership interests of ValueAct
Management L.P. and the membership interests of ValueAct Management LLC, and
(v) ValueAct Holdings GP, as General Partner of ValueAct Holdings and
ValueAct Holdings II. Shares reported as beneficially owned by ValueAct
Master Fund are also reported as beneficially owned by VA Partners I, as
General Partner of ValueAct Master Fund. VA Partners I, ValueAct Management
L.P., ValueAct Management LLC, ValueAct Holdings, ValueAct Holdings II, and
ValueAct Holdings GP also, directly or indirectly, may own interests in one
or more than one of the partnerships from time to time. Unless otherwise
indicated below, by reason of such relationship ValueAct Master Fund is
reported as having shared power to vote or to direct the vote, and shared
power to dispose or direct the disposition of, such shares of Common Stock,
with VA Partners I (only with respect to ValueAct Master Fund), ValueAct
Management L.P., ValueAct Management LLC, ValueAct Holdings, ValueAct
Holdings II, and ValueAct Holdings GP.
As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner of 14,430,901 shares of Common Stock, representing
approximately 4.0% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. All percentages
set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon the Issuer's reported
361,479,708 outstanding shares of Common Stock as of May 5, 2022 as reported
in the Issuer's Form 10Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2022.
(c)(d) Not applicable.
SCHEDULE 13D
-------------------------- -------------------------
CUSIP NO. 071734107 Page 10 of 11
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(e) The Reporting Persons are no longer beneficial owners of more
than five percent of Issuer's Common Stock, and accordingly, their
obligation to file a Schedule 13D has terminated.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The responses to Items 3, 4, 5 and 7 of this Schedule are incorporated
herin by reference.
Other than as described in this Report and as previously reported, the
Reporting Persons have no understanding, arrangements, relationships or
contracts relating to the Issuer?s Common Stock which are required to be
described hereunder.
