Introduction

 

This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to the beneficial ownership of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Shares”), of GP Strategies Corporation, a Delaware corporation the (“Issuer”). This Statement is being filed on behalf of the Reporting Persons and amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons dated December 30, 2009, as heretofore amended (the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings given such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby supplemented by the addition of the following:

 

Merger

 

The Issuer has announced that on July 15, 2021, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Learning Technologies Group plc, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (“LTG”), Learning Technologies Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of LTG (“US Holdco”), and Gravity Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of US Holdco (“Merger Sub” and together with LTG and US Holdco, the “Merger Entities”). The Merger Agreement provides, subject to its terms and conditions, for the acquisition of the Issuer by LTG at a price of $20.85 in cash for each Share, without interest thereon and subject to deduction for any required withholding tax (the “Merger Consideration”), through the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of LTG (the “Surviving Corporation”).

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), among other things, each Share that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Shares held in the treasury of the Issuer or owned by the Issuer, any subsidiary of the Issuer, LTG, US Holdco, Merger Sub or any other subsidiary of LTG immediately prior to the Effective Time, all of which will be canceled, and (ii) Shares held by stockholders who do not vote in favor of the Merger and who properly exercise their appraisal rights under, and comply in all respects with applicable provisions of, Delaware law) will be automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

 

The terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement are described in the Issuer’s Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on July 15, 2021 (the “Merger 8-K”). The foregoing description of the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of (i) the Merger 8-K and (ii) the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as an Exhibit thereto.

 

Voting and Support Agreement

 

On July 15, 2021, concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, LTG, US Holdco and Merger Sub entered into (i) a voting and support agreement (the “Sagard Voting and Support Agreement”) with Sagard and (ii) voting and support agreements (the “D&O Voting and Support Agreements”) with the directors and certain officers of the Issuer in their capacities as stockholders of the Issuer (the “Directors and Officers,” and together with Sagard, the “Covered Stockholders”). The D&O Voting and Support Agreements and the Sagard Voting and Support Agreement are referred to collectively herein as the “Voting and Support Agreements.” Pursuant to the terms of the Voting and Support Agreements, each of the Covered Stockholders has agreed to vote all of its, his or her, as applicable, Shares (i) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and approval of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Issuer contained in the Merger Agreement or of such Covered Stockholder contained in its Voting and Support Agreement and (iii) against any alternative acquisition proposal and against any other action, agreement or transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries that would reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, adversely affect or prevent (A) the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or by such Covered Stockholder’s Voting and Support Agreement, (B) the performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Merger Agreement or (C) the performance by such Covered Stockholder of its obligations under its Voting and Support Agreement.

 

 

 

 

 

Samuel Robinson, a representative of Sagard to the Issuer’s board of directors, signed a D&O Voting and Support Agreement in his personal capacity. Nothing in connection with the foregoing agreement signed by Samuel Robinson shall be construed to suggest that Samuel Robinson is a member of a group for purposes of Section 13, or for any other purposes, and the existence of any such group is disclaimed.

 

Each Voting and Support Agreement will terminate upo n the earliest of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) a termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) a Board Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger 8-K) solely on account of an Intervening Event (as defined in the Merger Agreement), (iv) any amendment, modification, change or waiver to any provision of the Merger Agreement that (A) changes in a manner adverse to the applicable Covered Stockholder the form or amount of consideration payable with respect to the Shares that are subject to such Voting and Support Agreement or (B) materially amends or waives any other terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement in a manner adverse to the applicable Covered Stockholder, and (v) the mutual written consent of the parties to such Voting and Support Agreement.

 

The foregoing description of the Voting and Support Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereby is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of (i) the Merger 8-K, (ii) the full text of the Sagard Voting and Support Agreement which is attached as an Exhibit thereto and (iii) the full text of the D&O Voting and Support Agreement which is attached as an Exhibit thereto. Such Voting Support Agreements are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.

 

Item 5.Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Items 5(a) - (c) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

 

(a)          The Shares reported herein are held directly by Sagard. As of July 15, 2021, each Reporting Person beneficially owned 3,639,367 Shares, which represented 20.9% of the outstanding Shares, based upon 17,445,756 Shares outstanding on April 29, 2021, as reported by the Issuer in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q, as filed with the SEC on May 6, 2021.

 

The Reporting Persons disclaim group membership with respect to the Merger Entities, and this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are members of a group for purposes of Section 13, or for any other purposes.

 

In accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-39538 (January 12, 1998) (the “Release”) this filing reflects the securities beneficially owned by Power Corporation of Canada (“PCC”) and certain of its subsidiaries, including Sagard. The filing does not reflect securities beneficially owned, if any, by any subsidiaries of PCC whose ownership of securities is disaggregated from that of PCC in accordance with the Release.

 

The beneficial ownership reflected in the remainder of this Item 5, and in the cover pages, reflect beneficial ownership as of July 15, 2021.
