INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (the "Amendment") amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons on November 17, 2020 (as amended, restated or modified from time to time, including by this Amendment, the "Schedule 13D") with respect to the information contained therein pertaining to the Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. This Amendment amends Items 4, 6 and 7 as set forth below.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
On February 26, 2023, the Reporting Persons entered into a Nomination and Cooperation Agreement (the “Nomination Agreement”) with the Issuer. Pursuant to the Nomination Agreement, the Issuer agreed to appoint Ronald M. Dickerman, Founder and President of Madison International Realty, to the Issuer's board of directors (the "Board"), effective as of May 4, 2023. Additionally, the Board has agreed to include Mr. Dickerman as a Board-nominated and recommended candidate for election as a director at the Issuer’s 2023 annual meeting of stockholders.
The provisions of the Nomination Agreement described above generally apply until the earlier of thirty days prior to the non-proxy access stockholder director nomination deadline for the Issuerʼs 2024 annual stockholders meeting or, in certain circumstances, the 2025 annual stockholders meeting, subject to certain exceptions described in the Nomination Agreement.
The Reporting Persons have agreed to various standstill provisions during the term of the Nomination Agreement, including limitations on proposing or engaging in certain extraordinary transactions and other matters involving the Issuer, prohibitions on the Reporting Persons acquiring more than 8,204,820 shares of the Issuer’s outstanding common stock, engaging in proxy solicitations and other stockholder-related matters and proposals, forming groups with other investors, and engaging in short sales or any purchase, sale or grant of any option, warrant, or convertible security with respect to any security that derives any significant part of its value from a decline in the market price or value of the Issuer’s securities. The Reporting Persons have also agreed to vote their shares as set forth in the Nomination Agreement, including with respect to Board elections.
The foregoing description of the Nomination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Nomination Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
On February 26, 2023, the Reporting Persons and the Issuer entered into the Nomination Agreement, as defined and described in Item 4 above and attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS
Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to include the following:
Exhibit 99.2 | Nomination and Cooperation Agreement between Veris Residential, Inc. and the MIR Group, dated February 26, 2023 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on February 27, 2023). |
