Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 6 (“Amendment No. 6”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 17, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 8, 2017, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 10, 2017, as further amended by Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D filed on May 17, 2017, as further amended by Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 15, 2017, and as further amended by Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 21, 2020 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Schedule 13D.

 

  Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to add the following:

On April 24, 2020 Organics and OHIF II LP (together, the “Oaktree Funds”), the Issuer and SunOpta Foods, Inc. (“SunOpta Foods”) closed (the “Initial Closing”) the previously announced subscription by the Oaktree Funds of an aggregate of 15,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to the subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) entered into on April 15, 2020 by the Oaktree Funds with the Issuer, SunOpta Foods, Engaged Capital, LLC, Engaged Capital Flagship Master Fund, LP and Engaged Capital Co-Invest IV – A, LP (collectively, “Engaged”). The Subscription Agreement also contemplates the issuance by SunOpta Foods to the Oaktree Funds of Series B-2 Preferred Stock pursuant to and in accordance with the Sale Option (as defined below).

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Issuer has the right, but not the obligation (the “Sale Option”), to require the Oaktree Funds to purchase up to 15,000 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock for aggregate consideration of up to $15.0 million by giving notice to the Oaktree Funds on or before July 15, 2020 (the “Option Notice”). The closing (the “Subsequent Closing”) for the purchase and issuance of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock would be expected to occur no later than 25 days following the Option Notice.

Series A Preferred Stock Exchange Rate

In connection with the issuance of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the exchange price applicable to the Oaktree Funds’ outstanding Series A Preferred Stock was reduced from $7.50 to $7.00 in accordance with certain anti-dilution provisions in the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock. In May 2017, the Issuer’s stockholders approved the removal of certain exchange caps in the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock that would have otherwise limited the amount of Common Shares that could be beneficially owned following exchange of the Oaktree Funds’ outstanding Series A Preferred Stock for Common Shares and waived the application of the triggers in the Shareholder Rights Plan by the acquisition (or deemed acquisition) of beneficial ownership of Special Voting Shares or Common Shares which are issuable or deliverable to the Oaktree Funds upon exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock, including an increase in beneficial ownership by way of an increase in the Liquidation Preference. Further, as a result of the closing, 809,524 Special Shares, Series 1 of the Issuer were issued to the Oaktree Funds and 6,000,000 Special Shares, Series 2 of the Issuer were issued to Engaged, increasing the number of voting shares of the Issuer to 107,256,999 shares. As a result, the Oaktree Funds currently exercise voting control over approximately 18.9% of the voting shares of the Issuer.

Source of Funds

The source of funds for such transaction was the capital contributions of their respective limited partners. No borrowed funds were used to purchase the Series B-1 Preferred Stock.

  Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

 

(a)-(c)

Ownership percentages set forth in this Amendment No. 6 are based upon a total of 89,114,142 Common Shares of the Issuer issued and outstanding, as of April 23, 2020, and assuming the exchange of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person, as applicable, into Common Shares.

Organics directly holds 16,904,991 Common Shares representing approximately 17.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (in each case, assuming the exchange of Series A Preferred Shares held by it into 10,170,857 shares of Common Shares), and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Shares. This amount assumes no shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock may currently be exchanged for Common Shares as a result of one or more of the Beneficial Ownership Exchange Cap, the Series B-1 Post CoC Exchange Cap and the Rights Plan Exchange Cap (collectively, the “Series B-1 Exchange Caps”) to which the Oaktree Funds are subject, as described more fully in this Item 5 and Item 6 below.

OHIF II LP directly holds 3,330,565 Common Shares representing approximately 3.7% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (in each case, assuming the exchange of Series A Preferred Stock held by it into 1,972,000 shares of Common Shares), and has the sole power to vote and dispose of such Common Shares. This amount assumes no shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock may currently be exchanged for Common Shares as a result of one of more of the Series B-1 Exchange Caps to which the Oaktree Funds are subject, as described more fully in this Item 5 and Item 6 below.

On an aggregated basis, Organics and OHIF II LP would directly hold 20,235,556 Common Shares, representing 20.0% of the issued outstanding Common Shares (in each case, assuming the exchange of Series A Preferred Shares held by it into 12,142,857 shares of Common Shares). This amount assumes no shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock may currently be exchanged for Common Shares as a result of one or more of the Series B-1 Exchange Caps to which the Oaktree Fund s are subject, as described more fully in this Item 5 and Item 6 below.

Immediately after completion of the Initial Closing, assuming the Sale Option is not yet exercised, the Oaktree Funds directly hold an aggregate of (i) 85,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, (ii) 15,000 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, and (iii) 8,092,699 Common Shares.

In absence of the Series B-1 Exchange Caps to which the Oaktree Funds are subject, and described more fully in Item 6 below, and assuming the exchange of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for Common Shares and the exchange of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock owned or controlled by the Oaktree Funds for Common Shares (but not the exchange of Series B-1 Preferred Stock owned or controlled by Engaged), the Oaktree Funds would own approximately 24.5% of the then-outstanding Common Shares.

There have been no transactions in the shares of Common Shares during the sixty (60) days prior to the date of this Schedule 13D by any of the Reporting Persons.

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the Reporting Persons that it is the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Common Shares for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose, and, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest, such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed by each Reporting Person.

Items 3 and 6 are incorporated by reference herein.
