Introduction.
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment) amends the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2006, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 29, 2007, amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 29, 2007, amended by Amendment No. 3 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 12, 2007 and further amended by Amendment No. 4 thereto filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 14, 2008 (as so amended, the Current Schedule 13D), on behalf of TD Group Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (TD LLC), Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together with two affiliated entities, WP VIII), Warburg Pincus LLC, a New York limited liability company (WP LLC), Warburg Pincus & Co., a New York general partnership (WP), and Warburg Pincus Partners, LLC, a New York limited liability company and a subsidiary of WP (WP Partners LLC, and together with WP VIII, WP LLC and WP, the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons). Charles R. Kaye and Joseph P. Landy are each Managing General Partners of WP and Co-Presidents and Managing Members of WP LLC. This Amendment relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Common Stock), of TransDigm Group Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the Company).
TD LLC and the Warburg Pincus Reporting Persons (together with TD LLC, the Reporting Persons) are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange
7
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock to which such Reporting Person does not have a pecuniary interest.
Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized term used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Current Schedule 13D.
Item 5 of the Current Schedule 13D is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as set forth below.
(a) On February 19, 2009, TD LLC sold an aggregate of 2,700,000 shares of Common Stock to Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC in a transaction effected pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for aggregate proceeds of $92,340,000 (the Sale). Immediately following the completion of the Sale, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 8,683,201 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 18.0% of the outstanding Common Stock, based on the 48,194,179 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of January 23, 2009 as reported in the Companys Form 10-Q filed on February 4, 2009.
(b) Each of the Reporting Persons share the power to vote or to direct the vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of the 8,683,201 shares of Common Stock it may be deemed to beneficially own. The Reporting Persons are making this single, joint filing because they may be deemed to constitute a person or group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. The filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission of such beneficial ownership or that the Reporting Persons constitute a person or group.
8
(c) Other than the Sale, no transactions in the Common Stock were effected by any Reporting Person during the past sixty days.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
