This Amendment No. 14 to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment No. 14") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on August 16, 2022 (as amended and supplemented through the date of this Amendment No. 14, collectively, the "Schedule 13D") by the Reporting Persons, relating to the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Masimo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment No. 14 shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
The information set forth in response to Item 4 below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.
|
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following information: On July 15, 2024, the Issuer filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Central District of California against the Reporting Persons (Politan, Politan Management, Politan GP, and Quentin Koffey), Politan Capital NY LLC, Politan Intermediate Ltd., Politan Capital Partners Master Fund LP, Politan Capital Partners LP, Politan Capital Offshore Partners LP, Michelle Brennan, Matthew Hall and Aaron Kapito (collectively, the "Politan Defendants") as well as William Jellison and Darlene Solomon. The Issuer subsequently filed an amended version of such complaint on August 26, 2024 against the Politan Defendants (as refiled on August 28, 2024, the "Amended Complaint"). The Amended Complaint seeks, among other relief, a declaration that the amended nomination notice for Mr. Jellison and Dr. Solomon did not comply with the Issuer's Fifth Amended and Restated Bylaws, an injunction preventing Politan from voting any proxies it received by means of issuing misleading proxy statements, and an order invalidating any such proxies. Among other allegations, the Amended Complaint alleges that Politan breached Section 13(d) of the Act by failing to make certain disclosures with respect to Politan's investment purpose in the Issuer. The Amended Complaint is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.15, which is attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. On August 23, 2024, the Issuer filed a Supplemented Memorandum of Points & Authorities in Support of Motion for Preliminary Injunction (the "Preliminary Injunction Motion") in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The Preliminary Injunction Motion seeks an order from the court enjoining Mr. Koffey and Politan from voting any proxies solicited by them in violation of Section 14(a) of the Act until corrective disclosures are made. The Preliminary Injunction Motion is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit 99.16, which is attached hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons deny all allegations in each of the Amended Complaint and the Preliminary Injunction Motion. Additional information about the Amended Complaint, the Preliminary Injunction Motion and the related litigation can be found in the Supplemental Proxy Materials filed by Politan and certain of its affiliates on the date hereof as definitive additional proxy materials, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.17 and incorporated herein by reference. |
