This amendment No. 17 to Schedule 13D relates to the Schedule 13D filed on January 17, 2018 for Xerox Corporation (the “Original Schedule 13D”) by the Reporting Person (“Amendment No. 17”). On March 7, 2019, Xerox Corporation announced plans to create a new public holding company, Xerox Holdings Corporation, a New York corporation (the “Issuer”), by implementing a holding company reorganization (the “Reorganization”). Upon completion of the Reorganization on July 31, 2019, the Issuer became the successor issuer to Xerox Corporation pursuant to Rule 12g-3(a) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment No. 17 shall have the meanings set forth in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

On July 31, 2019, Xerox Corporation and the Issuer completed the Reorganization. Accordingly, the Reporting Person’s shares of Xerox Corporation’s common stock converted into the same number of Shares in the Issuer, and the Reporting Person’s shares of Xerox Corporation Series B Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”) were exchanged for the same number of shares of the Issuer’s Series A Preferred Stock.

 

The Series A Preferred Stock has identical rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers in all respects to that of the Series B Preferred Stock (prior to the Reorganization), with the addition of the right to vote together with the Issuer’s Shares, as a single class, on all matters submitted to the shareholders of the Issuer, but the Series A Preferred Stock will only be entitled to one vote for every ten Shares into which the Holdings Series A Preferred Stock is convertible (rounded down to the nearest whole number of votes).
