This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2020 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”) with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of PAE Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following information at the end of Item 4:

The Merger

On February 15, 2022 (the “Closing Date”), the Issuer completed the transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of merger, dated as of October 25, 2021, by and among the Issuer, Amentum Government Services Holdings LLC (“Parent”), and Pinnacle Virginia Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). On the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of Common Stock that was issued and outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, including the Common Stock held by PE Shay Holdings, LLC and Platinum Equity, LLC, was automatically cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive an amount equal to $10.05 in cash per share, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes (the “Per Share Consideration”).

Also at the Effective Time, each warrant exercisable for shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Warrants”), including the Warrants held by Platinum Equity, LLC, automatically became a warrant of the Surviving Corporation and the exercise price of the Warrants was adjusted in accordance with the terms of the warrant agreement (the “Warrant Agreement”), dated as of September 6, 2018, by and between the Issuer and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the warrant agent.

Following the Effective Time, no shares of Common Stock are purchasable pursuant to the Warrants and each holder of a Warrant, including Platinum Equity, LLC, is entitled to receive, upon proper exercise of such Warrant and the payment of the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) in cash, the amount of $10.05 in cash per Warrant; provided that if any registered holder properly exercises a Warrant during the period beginning on February 15, 2022, and ending on (and including) March 17, 2022 (such period, the “Special Exercise Period”), the Warrant Price shall be reduced by an amount (in dollars) equal to the difference of (a) $11.50 (which constitutes the Warrant Price in effect on the trading day immediately prior to such reduction) minus (b)(i) $10.05 (which constitutes the Per Share Consideration) minus (ii) the applicable Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement), as calculated in accordance with the Warrant Agreement.

(a) – (b)

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons to report that, as of February 15, 2022, the Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

(d) None.

(e) As of February 15, 2022, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock.
