Introduction

This Amendment No. 02 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on behalf of John J. Shalam, dated as of October 15, 2020 (the “Statement”), relating to the Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Class A Common Stock”), of VOXX International Corporation. The purpose of this Amendment No. 02 is to correct the number of Class A Common Stock shares transferred by Mr. Shalam to Shalvoxx A Holdco LLC from 1,926,534 to 1,915,373.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class B Common Stock”) beneficially owned by Mr. Shalam were acquired prior to the Company’s initial public offering in May 1987 in exchange for shares held in and issued by a predecessor of the Company.  The shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Shalam were acquired through (i) conversion of shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock and (ii) the receipt from the Issuer, and the exercise or settlement, of stock option and restricted stock or restricted stock unit grants, as the case may be, from time to time.


Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.

On October 8, 2020, for estate planning purposes, Mr. Shalam gifted an aggregate 75% membership interest in SHALVOXX A HOLDCO LLC (“ShalvoxxA”) and an aggregate 75% membership interest in SHALVOXX B HOLDCO LLC (“ShalvoxxB”), in each case, 25% to each of three trusts established by him for the benefit of each of his three sons.  Prior to such gifts, on September 10, 2020, Mr. Shalam transferred 1,915,373 shares of Class A Common Stock and 2,144,152 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by him to ShalvoxxA and ShalvoxxB, respectively, for no consideration in exchange, and at such time Mr. Shalam owned 100% of the membership interests in each such limited liability company.  Following such gifts, Mr. Shalam holds a 25% membership interest in each such limited liability company.  Mr. Shalam also is a manager of each of ShalvoxxA and ShalvoxxB and has sole voting and dispositive power of the shares of common stock the Issuer held by each  such company.

The Reporting Person beneficially owns shares of the Company’s common stock for investment purposes.  From time the Reporting Person acquires shares of Class A Common Stock and other securities related to the Class A Common Stock (such as restricted stock units) from the Issuer as compensation for services as the Issuer’s Chairman of the Board.  The Reporting Person also beneficially owns shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock indirectly through ShalvoxxA and ShalvoxxB.  The Reporting Person reserves the right (i) to purchase or otherwise acquire additional shares of common stock, or other securities of the Issuer, or instruments convertible into or exercisable for any such securities (collectively, “Issuer Securities”), in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, at any time or from time to time, and (ii) to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of Issuer Securities in public or private transactions, at any time or from time to time.  The Reporting Person is the Chairman of the Board of the Issuer and controls a significant portion of the voting power of its common stock (see Item 5), and therefore, in general, is in a position to influence certain activities of the Issuer and to take certain significant corporate actions specified in (a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.


a)
The responses of the Reporting Person to Rows (7) through (13) of the cover page of this Amendment No. 02, as of October 15, 2020, are incorporated herein by reference.  As of October 15, 2020, the Reporting Person was the beneficial owner of 4,076,865 shares of Class A Common Stock, which represents 18.9% of the shares of the Class A Common Stock outstanding.  The foregoing represents (i) 17,340 shares of Class A Common Stock held by John J. Shalam, (ii) 1,915,373 shares of Class A Common Stock held by ShalvoxxA, and (iii) 2,144,152 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of 2,144,152 shares of Class B Common Stock held by ShalvoxxB.  Mr. Shalam has sole voting and dispositive power of the shares of the Issuer held by ShalvoxxA and ShalvoxxB.  Excluded from the foregoing are 70,657 vested and 52,385 unvested restricted stock units granted by the Issuer to Mr. Shalam, which settle in shares of Class A Common Stock or in cash at the Company’s sole discretion.  Also excludes an aggregate of 2,202 shares of Class A Common Stock and 116,802 shares of Class B Common Stock owned by Mr. Shalam’s children and as to which Mr. Shalam disclaims beneficial ownership.


The calculation of the percentage of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding (a) is based on 21,656,976 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 8, 2020 (as disclosed by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on October 13, 2020), plus the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock held by ShalvoxB and (b) assumes all of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by ShalvoxB are converted into shares of Class A Common Stock and no other shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding are converted into Class A Common Stock.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation sets forth, among other things, certain rights of and restrictions on holders of the Company’s common stock.  In general, holders of both classes of common stock vote as a single class on all matters except the election, or removal without cause, of Class A or Class B directors and any class votes required by Delaware law.  In all cases, each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to cast one vote per share and each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to cast ten votes per share.  At the option of the holder, each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class A Common Stock.  Without the written consent of holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, shares of Class B Common Stock may not be transferred except to another holder of Class B Common Stock, family members of the holder and other permitted transferees. Upon any nonpermitted sale or transfer of shares of Class B Common Stock, such shares automatically convert into an equal number of shares of Class A Common Stock.

Assuming no shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding are converted into Class A Common Stock, the shares of common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person as of October 14, 2020, would constitute 52.8% of the aggregate voting power of all classes of the Issuer’s common stock outstanding (based on 2,260,954 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding as of October 8, 2020, as disclosed by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on October 13, 2020).

The foregoing description of certain rights of, and restrictions on, the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are not, and do not purport to be, complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which was filed with the SEC on February 28, 2001, by the Issuer as Exhibit 3.1b to its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2000.


b)
Item 5a of this Amendment No. 02 is incorporated herein by reference.


c)
During the past 60 days the Reporting Person has not effected any transactions in the Class A Common Stock, except as disclosed in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 02 (which is incorporated herein by reference).


d)
ShalvoxxA and ShalvoxxB and their respective members may receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock held by ShalvoxxA and ShalvoxxB, respectively.


e)
Not Applicable.

Item 6.

Item 4 of this Amendment No. 02 is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.

Not applicable.
