This Amendment No. 2 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, as amended, originally filed by the reporting persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 26, 2015 (the “Original Schedule 13D”
together with, Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2 collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) and the information herein is provided and is correct as of January 29, 2016. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term
used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
This statement relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock" ), of AXIALL CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at 1000 Abernathy Road; Suite 1200, Atlanta, Georgia, 30328.
Item 2. Identity and Background
(a)-(c), (f) The persons filing this Statement and the citizenship of such filers are listed on the cover pages hereto. The directors and principal executive officers of Franklin Resources, Inc. (“FRI”), their present principal occupations, citizenship and business addresses, and the business addresses of the filers are listed on Exhibit A.
(d) During the last five years, none of the filers, and to the best knowledge of the filers, none of the persons listed on Exhibit A has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
(e) During the last five years, none of the filers, and to the best knowledge of the filers, none of the persons listed on Exhibit A was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
The securities reported in this Schedule 13D may be deemed to be beneficially owned by one or more direct and indirect subsidiaries (each, an “Investment Management Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Investment Management Subsidiaries”) of Franklin Resources Inc. (“FRI”) in their capacities as the investment advisers to various investment companies registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other accounts (collectively, the “Clients”). Such securities were acquired with funds of approximately $149 million (including brokerage commissions), all of which were provided from investment capital of the Clients.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The Investment Management Subsidiaries acquired the Common Stock on behalf of the Clients for investment. The Investment Management Subsidiaries believe that the Issuer is significantly undervalued and its Board of Directors should be more aggressive in taking actions to increase stockholder value. Despite the issuer’s “strategic” rationale behind the acquisition of PPG’s Chlor- Alkali business in January 2013, the Issuer’s share price has since meaningfully underperformed its peers. Management has announced that they are examining strategic alternatives for the Aromatics business, but this business is a very minor part of the overall company. In the Investment Management Subsidiaries’ opinion, the Board of Directors should undertake a more substantial strategic review encompassing the potential sale of all or parts of the Issuer, its capital allocation plans, cost structure, and the possible replacement of senior management.
The Investment Management Subsidiaries, on behalf of the Clients, may in the future acquire additional
shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer in the open market, in privately‑negotiated purchases or otherwise, and may also, depending upon then‑current circumstances, dispose of all or a portion of the Common Stock in one or more transactions. Additionally, the Investment Management Subsidiaries reserve the right on behalf of the Clients, to exercise any and all of their rights as stockholders of the Issuer and reserve the right from time to time to formulate plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its securities, including without limitation to carry out any of the actions or transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of Schedule 13D, to the extent deemed advisable by the Investment Management Subsidiaries.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a-b) The Investment Management Subsidiaries listed in this Item 5 may be deemed to be the beneficial owners of these securities for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act in their capacities as the investment advisers to the Clients. When an investment management contract (including a sub-advisory agreement) delegates to an Investment Management Subsidiary investment discretion or voting power over the securities held in the investment advisory accounts that are subject to that agreement, FRI treats the Investment Management Subsidiary as having sole investment discretion or voting authority, as the case may be, unless the agreement specifies otherwise. Accordingly, each Investment Management Subsidiary reports on Schedule 13D that it has sole investment discretion and voting authority over the securities covered by any such investment management agreement.
Beneficial ownership by FRI is being reported in conformity with the guidelines articulated by the SEC staff in Release No. 34‑39538 (January 12, 1998) relating to organizations, such as FRI, where related entities exercise voting and investment powers over the securities being reported independently from each other. The voting and investment powers held by Franklin Mutual Advisers, LLC (“FMA”), an indirect wholly‑owned investment management subsidiary of FRI, are exercised independently from FRI and from all other investment management subsidiaries of FRI (FRI, its affiliates and the investment management subsidiaries other than FMA are, collectively, “FRI affiliates”).
CUSIP NO. 05463D100 Page 7 of 14
Furthermore, internal policies and procedures of FMA and FRI establish informational barriers that prevent the flow between FMA and the FRI affiliates of information that relates to the voting and investment powers over the
securities owned by their respective investment management clients. Consequently, FMA and the FRI affiliates report the securities over which they hold investment and voting power separately from each other for purposes of
Section 13 of the Act.
Charles B. Johnson and Rupert H. Johnson, Jr. (the “Principal Shareholders”) each own in excess of 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of FRI and are the principal stockholders of FRI. FRI and the Principal Shareholders may be deemed to be, for purposes of Rule 13d‑3 under the Act, the beneficial owners of securities held by persons and entities for whom or for which FRI’s subsidiaries provide investment management services. The number of shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned and the percentage of the class of which such shares are a part are reported in Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages for FRI and each of the Principal Shareholders. FRI, the Principal Shareholders disclaim any pecuniary interest in any of the Common Stock. In addition, the filing of the Schedule 13D on behalf of the Principal Shareholders, FRI should not be construed as an admission that any of them is, and each disclaims that it is, the beneficial owner, as defined in Rule 13d‑3, of any of the Common Stock.
FRI, the Principal Shareholders believe that they are not a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d‑5 under the Act and that they are not otherwise required to attribute to each other the beneficial ownership of the Common Stock held by any of them or by any persons or entities.
