Item 1. Security and Issuer.

 

This Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D ("Amendment No. 7") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on July 19, 2018 (the "Original Schedule 13D") by Mondelẽz International, Inc. ("Mondelẽz International") and Mondelẽz International Holdings LLC ("MIH," and together with Mondelẽz International, the "Reporting Person"), as amended by Amendments No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 to the Original Schedule 13D filed on March 10, 2020, August 3, 2020, September 10, 2020, November 19, 2020, June 10, 2021 and September 3, 2021, respectively (the "Prior Amendments"), relating to common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Shares") of Keurig Dr Pepper, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 7, all items in the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by the Prior Amendments, are unchanged and each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

The filing of this Amendment No.7 constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Person.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

The information set forth in Items 5 and 6 of this Amendment No. 7 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4. On February 27, 2023, MIH agreed to sell 30,000,000 Shares to a financial services firm, acting as principal, at a price of $34.42 per Share, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Share Sale"). The purpose of the Share Sale is to generate proceeds to be used for the Reporting Person's general corporate purposes, including the retirement of debt used to fund recent acquisitions.

 

Other than as described above, the Reporting Person currently has no plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D; however, the Reporting Person may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider its position and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)-(b) MIH owns 45,543,005 Shares, after giving effect to the Share Sale, constituting approximately 3.24% of the outstanding Shares. Mondelẽz International may be deemed, for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to be the beneficial owner of the Shares owned by MIH. The information provided in response to Items 7-10 of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 7 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).

 

The filing of this Amendment No. 7 constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Person.
