This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), of Paycom Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). This Amendment amends the Schedule 13D (as previously amended or amended and restated and as amended and/or restated hereby, the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by Ernest Group, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“Ernest Group”), The Ruby Group, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“The Ruby Group”), Chad Richison (“Mr. Richison”), SR-EGI, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“SR-EGI”), Shannon Rowe (“Ms. Rowe”), WK-EGI, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“WK-EGI”), William X.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

“In connection with the September 2015 Resale Offering, WCAS X and WCAS Capital IV granted Barclays a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 675,000 shares of Common Stock. On September 23, 2015, Barclays exercised such option in full (the “September Option Exercise”). The sale of Common Stock in connection with the September Option Exercise closed on September 28, 2015.

On November 18, 2015, certain stockholders of the Issuer sold an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock, including 1,385,000 shares of Common Stock sold by certain of the Reporting Persons, in an underwritten public offering (the “November 2015 Resale Offering”) as contemplated by the underwriting agreement by and among the Issuer, Barclays and the selling stockholders named therein, including WCAS X, WCAS Capital IV, WCASM, Ernest Group, SR-EGI, WK-EGI, Mr. York and certain other selling stockholders (collectively, the “November Selling Stockholders”), and set forth in a final prospectus supplement dated November 12, 2015, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on November 16, 2015, which supplements the prospectus dated May 14, 2015 contained in the Shelf Registration Statement. The November 2015 Resale Offering closed on November 18, 2015.

The number of shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons gives effect to the September Option Exercise and the November 2015 Resale Offering.

In connection with the November 2015 Resale Offering, each November Selling Stockholder entered into a lock-up agreement pursuant to which, subject to certain exceptions, such November Selling Stockholder agreed not to, for a period of 45 days, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Barclays, (i) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by such November Selling Stockholder in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exercise of any options or warrants) or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive shares of, Common Stock, (ii) enter into any swap or other derivatives transaction that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic benefits or risks of ownership of shares of Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, (iii) cause to be filed a registration statement, including any amendments thereto, with respect to the registration of any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock or any of the Issuer’s other securities, or (iv) publicly disclose the intention to do any of the foregoing.

Each of the lock-up agreements contains certain exceptions, including the disposition of shares of Common Stock purchased in open market transactions after the completion of the November 2015 Resale Offering, certain bona fide gifts, sales, transfers or other dispositions of shares of any class of Common Stock, including by will or intestacy, made exclusively between and among the November Selling Stockholder and members of the November Selling Stockholder’s family or certain other persons, and the adoption of a Rule 10b5-1 sales plan; provided, in certain cases, that no filing shall be required under the Exchange Act and the November Selling Stockholder agrees not to make any filing or public announcement in connection with the transfer or disposition during the 45-day lock-up period.


In connection with the November 2015 Resale Offering, WCAS X and WCAS Capital IV granted Barclays a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 675,000 shares of Common Stock, solely to cover overallotments. On November 19, 2015, Barclays partially exercised such option and provided notice of its intent to purchase an additional 585,697 shares of Common Stock (the “November 19 Option Exercise”). The sale of Common Stock in connection with the November 19 Option Exercise is expected to close on or about November 24, 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.

The foregoing descriptions of the underwriting agreement dated November 12, 2015 and the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with the November 2015 Resale Offering do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.14 and 99.15, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

On November 11, 2015, Mr. Richison gifted an aggregate 101,000 shares of Common Stock to two non-profit organizations.

Effective November 11, 2015, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Mr. Richison completed the transfer of 425,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to his Former Spouse. The number of shares of Common Stock reported as beneficially owned by Mr. Richison gives effect to this transaction.”
