SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 1 supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed on behalf of (i) Praesidium Investment Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Praesidium”), (ii) Kevin Oram and (iii) Peter Uddo (together with Praesidium and Mr. Oram the “Reporting Persons”) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 13, 2015 (the “Schedule 13D”), relating to shares of common stock, $0.01 par value (“Common Stock”), of Quanex Building Products Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 2(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Item 2. Identity and Background

(a) This statement is filed by: (i) Praesidium Investment Management Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Praesidium”), (ii) Kevin Oram and (iii) Peter Uddo (together with Praesidium and Mr. Oram, the “Reporting Persons”).

Praesidium, in its capacity as investment manager to certain managed accounts and investment fund vehicles on behalf of investment advisory clients (collectively, the “Accounts”), has sole power to vote 2,695,098 shares of Common Stock held in the Accounts and to dispose of 2,842,367 shares of Common Stock held in the Accounts. As the managing members of Praesidium, each of Kevin Oram and Peter Uddo may be deemed to control Praesidium.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds

The net investment costs (including commissions, if any) of the shares of Common Stock directly owned by the Accounts is approximately $18.76 per share.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to report the acquisition of Common Stock reported in Item 5(c) that resulted in a more than 1 percent change in beneficial ownership. Since the Reporting Persons’ April 13, 2015 filing of the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons acquired Common Stock for investment purpose. The purchases were made in the ordinary course of business, and, consistent with the investment purpose, the Reporting Persons may make, or cause, further acquisitions of Common Stock from time to time and may dispose of, or cause to be disposed, any or all of the Common Stock held by it at any time, in each case depending on market conditions and other factors.

The Reporting Persons are generally supportive of the Issuer’s June 2015 strategic acquisition of HL Plastics Ltd. and believe the acquisition will add intrinsic value to the Issuer. Additionally, the Reporting Persons are generally supportive of how the Issuer’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, William C. Griffiths, is operating the business and look forward to continuing to engage in constructive and collaborative informal conversations with the Issuer (including officers and members of the Board) in connection with multiple topics, including the structure, composition, size and governance of the Issuer’s board of directors, capital allocation, general business operations and strategic alternatives.

 

Going forward, the Reporting Persons expect to continue to engage in communications with one or more officers, members of Board, representatives, shareholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties regarding the Issuer’s business and certain initiatives, which could include topics such as capital allocation, governance (including the items described above), potential changes to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, strategic alternatives and one or more of the items in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider their position and/or change their purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

(a) - (b) The Reporting Persons beneficially own 2,842,367 shares of Common Stock, which represents 8.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. The percentage of beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons, as reported in this Schedule 13D, was calculated by dividing (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person as of July 20, 2015 as set forth in this Schedule 13D, by (ii) the 33,871,310 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of May 29, 2015, according to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 3, 2015.

Praesidium, in its capacity as investment manager to the Accounts, has sole power to vote 2,695,098 shares of Common Stock and the power to dispose of 2,842,367 shares of Common Stock held in the Accounts. As the managing members of Praesidium, each of Kevin Oram and Peter Uddo may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock held in the Accounts.

(c) Transactions in the Issuer’s securities by the Reporting Persons during the last sixty days are listed in Annex A attached hereto.

(d) Not Applicable.

(e) Not Applicable.
