Explanatory Note

The purpose of this Amendment (as defined below) is to report a decrease in the percentage of shares of Common Stock (as defined below) beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons solely due to the change in the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as a result of the April Offering (as defined below).

Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) amends the Statement on Schedule 13D, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 29, 2020 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on January 5, 2021, Amendment No. 2, filed on September 17, 2021, Amendment No. 3, filed on January 5, 2022 and Amendment No. 4, filed on January 3, 2024, the “Statement”) with respect to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of APi Group Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 1100 Old Highway 8 NW, New Brighton, MN 55112. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosure set forth in the Statement shall remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings set forth in the Statement.

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Statement is hereby amended by the addition of the following:

On April 19, 2024, in connection with the closing of the April Offering (as defined below), the Issuer issued 11,000,000 shares of Common Stock, which resulted in a decrease in the percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons as disclosed in Item 5 of this Amendment.

The information contained in Item 6 of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Paragraphs (a) – (c) of the Statement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a)–(b)

As of the date hereof, M. Franklin beneficially owns 33,252,458 shares of Common Stock (which includes Series A Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock within 60 days) consisting of (i) shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, 19,435,542 shares of Common Stock (which includes 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock convertible into 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock within 60 days) controlled or held, directly or indirectly, by one or more of the Franklin Reporting Persons and (ii) sole power to vote, or to direct the vote, of 13,816,916 shares of Common Stock held directly by IGHA Holdings, JTOO, Lillie and R. Franklin (each as further described below).

Each of M. Franklin, MEF Holdings and Mariposa has shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 19,435,542, 19,435,542 and 4,008,640 shares of Common Stock (which includes Series A Preferred Stock convertible into Common Stock within 60 days), respectively. The shares beneficially owned by M. Franklin consist of (i) 15,426,902 shares of Common Stock held directly by MEF Holdings, (ii) 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by Mariposa that are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into the same number of shares of Common Stock, (iii) 8,640 shares of Common Stock held directly by Mariposa and (iv) 6,206,841, 6,597,666 and 1,012,409 shares of Common Stock held by the Ashken Reporting Persons, Lillie Reporting Persons and R.

In the aggregate, such 33,252,458, 19,435,542, and 13,816,916 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 12.0%, 7.0% and 5.0%, respectively, of all outstanding shares of Common Stock (assuming the conversion of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock). M. Franklin and MEF Holdings may be deemed to have a pecuniary interest in 15,430,635 shares of Common Stock and 1,728,400 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

As of the date hereof, (i) Ashken may be deemed to beneficially own and have (A) shared power to vote, or to direct the vote, of an aggregate of 100,000 shares of Common Stock and (B) shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 6,306,841 shares of Common Stock, (ii) IGHA Holdings may be deemed to beneficially own and have shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 5,978,779 shares of Common Stock, (iii) Lillie may be deemed to beneficially own and have (A) shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 5,455,411 shares of Common Stock and (B) sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 1,142,255 shares of Common Stock, (iv) JTOO may be deemed to beneficially own and have shared power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 5,455,411 shares of Common Stock and (v) R. Franklin may be deemed to beneficially own and have sole power to dispose, or to direct the disposition of, an aggregate of 1,012,409 shares of Common Stock. In the aggregate, such 100,000, 6,306,841, 5,978,779, 5,455,411, 1,142,255 and 1,012,409 shares of Common Stock represent approximately 0.1%, 2.3%, 2.2%, 2.0%, 0.4% and 0.4%, respectively, of all outstanding shares of Common Stock. Each of IGHA Holdings, JTOO and R. Franklin directly owns 19.2%, 19.2% and 2.0%, respectively of Mariposa, representing a pecuniary interest in 1,659, 1,659 and 173 shares of Common Stock and 768,000, 768,000 and 80,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(c)

On March 4, 2024, IGHA Holdings sold 150,000 shares of Common Stock on the open market pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan at a weighted average price per share of $38.38 (with prices ranging from $38.155 to $38.52, inclusive).
