This Schedule 13D/A reports that APi Group Corp issued approximately 15.2 million shares of common stock as a dividend on its Series A Preferred Stock to Mariposa Acquisition IV, LLC.

The shares were subsequently distributed among the members of Mariposa, an entity controlled by Sir Martin E. Franklin, who continues to beneficially own a substantial 12.9% stake in the company.
