| ITEM 1. | SECURITY AND ISSUER |
This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) relates to shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”), of BJ’s Wholesale Club, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
The address of the Issuer’s principal executive offices is One Mercer Road, Natick, Massachusetts 01760.
| ITEM 2. | IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND |
The disclosure provided in Item 2 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:
As of, and as a direct consequence of, the closing of the Merger (as defined in Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D amended hereby, such Amendment No. 3 filed with the SEC on June 30, 2011), GEI V and GEI Side V own no Shares as of the date of this statement.
| ITEM 4. | PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION |
The disclosure provided in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:
On September 30, 2011, 5,100,000 Shares held by GEI V and GEI Side V were converted into shares of common stock of Beacon Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation, in connection with the closing of the Merger. The Reporting Persons therefore no longer own any Shares. The Reporting Persons’ beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s securities of any kind has dropped below the 5% Schedule 13D reporting threshold. Therefore, this Amendment constitutes the final amendment to the Reporting Persons’ Schedule 13D amended hereby, and an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.
| ITEM 5. | INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER |
The disclosure provided in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D amended hereby is updated to include the following additional disclosure:
(a) As a result of the transaction described in Item 4, as of September 30, 2011, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares.
(b) As a result of the transaction described in Item 4, as of September 30, 2011, the Reporting Persons may no longer be deemed to have shared voting power over any Shares.
(c) Except for the transaction described in Item 4, there were no transactions in the Common Stock effected by the Reporting Persons since the filing of the Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D amended hereby (filed with the SEC on September 22, 2011).
(e) As a result of the transaction described in Item 4, as of September 30, 2011, the Reporting Persons ceased to be beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Shares.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, each of the undersigned certifies that the information set forth in this Amendment is true, complete and correct.
