Schedule 13D

CUSIP No. 00130H-10-5

Page 4 of 10

 

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on March 19, 2010, as previously amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on December 18, 2013 (as so amended and supplemented, the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as further amended and supplemented by the Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”). The Amendment No. 2 relates to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share s (the “Common Stock”), of The AES Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Terms used therein and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The Amendment No. 2 amends Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D by inserting the following before the last paragraph of Item 4.

“On May 12, 2015, the Issuer and Terrific entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Block Trade Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (the “Block Trade Underwriter”), pursuant to which, among other things, Terrific agreed to sell, and the Block Trade Underwriter agreed to purchase, 59,468,788 shares of Common Stock at a price of $13.07 per share of Common Stock (the “Block Trade”). As part of the Block Trade, Terrific instructed the Block Trade Underwriter to reserve 20,000,000 shares to be sold to the Issuer at a price per share equal to the price paid by the Block Trade Underwriter to Terrific in the Block Trade (the “Repurchase”). The Block Trade was made pursuant to the Issuer’s registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-186888). The Block Trade closed on May 18, 2015.

Upon the closing of the Block Trade, the Stockholder Agreement was terminated (except for the indemnification provisions related to the Block Trade).

Reference to and description of the Block Trade Underwriting Agreement set forth above in this Item 4 do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Block Trade Underwriting Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit 6 and is incorporated herein by reference.”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The Amendment No. 2 amends and restates Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(c) of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as follows:

“The following disclosure assumes that there are 682,441,162 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 18, 2015 (based on 702,441,162 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 11, 2015, as reported in the prospectus supplement filed by the Issuer with the SEC on May 14, 2015, after giving effect to the Repurchase and assuming there are no other changes to the number of outstanding shares between May 11, 2015 and May 18, 2015).

 

(a) As of the date hereof, following the completion of the transactions described in the Amendment No. 2, Terrific will cease to be the beneficial owner of Common Stock. CIC, by virtue of being the parent of CIC International, may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of 420,830 shares of Common Stock held by another wholly-owned subsidiary of CIC International as part of a securities investment portfolio, resulting in a total shared beneficial ownership of 420,830 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 0.06% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of May 18, 2015.

(b) As of the date hereof, following the completion of the transactions described in the Amendment No. 2, CIC, by virtue of being the parent of CIC International, may be deemed to share the power to direct and dispose, or direct the voting and disposition of, 420,830 shares of Common Stock held by another wholly-owned subsidiary of CIC International as part of a securities investment portfolio, resulting in a total shared power to vote and dispose, or direct the vote or the disposition of, 420,830 shares of Common Stock, constituting approximately 0.06% of the total issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as of May 18, 2015.

(c) Except as otherwise described in this Amendment No. 2, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in the AES Common Stock during the past sixty days.”

The Amendment No. 2 amends and restates Item 5(e) of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as follows:

“(e) On May 18, 2015, as a result of the Block Trade, the Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than five percent of the outstanding AES Common Stock.”

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangement, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The Amendment No. 2 amends Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D by replacing the last paragraph of Item 6 with the following:

“Upon the closing of the Block Trade, the Stockholder Agreement was terminated (except for the indemnification provisions related to the Block Trade). See the description set forth in Item 4 of this statement, which is incorporated herein by reference.”

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

 

The Exhibit Index is incorporated herein by reference.
