Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K is being filed to include information about the Stockholders Agreement (defined below) pursuant to which Robert M. Roche was selected as a director, which was inadvertently omitted from the original Form 8-K filed on January 19, 2012.

 

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 13, 2012, Arun Nayar informed Atkore International Group Inc. (the “Company”) that he was resigning from the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) effective January 13, 2012. In connection with Tyco International Ltd.’s plans to separate into three independent, public companies, Mr. Nayar’s duties and responsibilities preclude him from continuing as a director of the Company. Mr. Nayar’s resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

On January 17, 2012, the Board elected Robert M. Roche as a new director of the Company. Mr. Roche also was appointed to the audit committee of the Board. Mr. Roche is Chief Financial Officer of Tyco Fire Protection and was recently named Vice President of Financial Operations for the Tyco Fire & Security company to be created upon the separation of Tyco International into three public companies.

Mr. Roche was designated as a director candidate pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement of the Company dated December 22, 2010 (the “Stockholders Agreement”). Under the Stockholders Agreement, the Tyco Holder (as defined in therein) is entitled to designate a director to fill a vacancy created by the resignation of any of its designees. Pursuant to Section 2.3(a) of the Stockholders Agreement, the Tyco Holder designated Mr. Roche to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Nayar’s resignation.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, for so long as certain consulting agreements remain in effect between the Company and its stockholders, Mr. Roche will not be entitled to compensation by the Company for his services as a director. Subject to limitations set forth in those consulting agreements, the Company will reimburse its directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them for attending meetings of the Board and committees thereof.

The Company owns all of the outstanding capital stock of Atkore International Holdings Inc. (“Atkore Holdings”) and, as a result, the Board has the power to direct decisions made by Atkore Holdings.
