(1)  Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher, as general partners of Fisher Core Holdings L.P., share dispositive power over all 81,000,000 shares held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P. and share voting power over 70,200,000 shares held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P.  The numbers shown on the preceding pages and in Item 5 below reflect multiple counting of certain shares since beneficial ownership of those shares is attributable to more than one Reporting Person by Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”), as further described in Item 5 below.

 

Item 1.                                                         Security and Issuer

 

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Statement”) relates to Common Stock, par value $0.05 per share (the “Common Stock”), of The Gap, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is: Two Folsom Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.

 

This Statement amends the prior statement on Schedule 13D filed by Fisher Core Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher (each, with the trusts for which such individual is a trustee and partnerships for which such individual is the beneficial owner with voting and dispositive control, a “Reporting Person” and, collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2004, and amended on March 16, 2006, January 29, 2007, August 22, 2007, March 4, 2008, October 1, 2008, March 20, 2009, November 27, 2009, April 2, 2010, November 26, 2010, February 25, 2011, June 20, 2011, September 20, 2011, November 23, 2011, April 5, 2013, June 7, 2013, March 28, 2014, December 10, 2014, and September 1, 2015 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).  The information in this Statement amends and restates each Item of the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2.                                                         Identity and Background

 

a)  The non-partnership Reporting Persons are parties to a Limited Partnership Agreement (as amended, the “LP Agreement”), dated August 4, 2004 forming Fisher Core Holdings L.P.  Pursuant to the LP Agreement, Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher, either individually or through trusts or limited partnerships they control, beneficially own shares of Common Stock represented by partnership units held by the general partners and limited partners of Fisher Core Holdings L.P.  The LP Agreement, as amended, provides that any decisions on voting and/or disposition of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P. will require a majority vote of the general partners, except that the general partners may cause the partnership to grant an irrevocable proxy to vote Issuer shares to a non-partner in an amount equal to the percentage of Issuer shares held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P. represented by partnership units transferred by any general partner.  See Item 6 of this Schedule 13D for further discussion of the voting proxies granted by Fisher Core Holdings L.P.  Limited partners have no voting or dispositive control over any shares held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P.  All references to the LP Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the LP Agreement and amendments included as Exhibits 1, 4 and 5, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.

 

As general partners of Fisher Core Holdings L.P. and parties to the LP Agreement, the non-partnership Reporting Persons and Fisher Core Holdings L.P. may be deemed to have formed a “group” under Section 13(d)-5 of the Act with respect to their beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.  The LP Agreement pertains only to Common Stock held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P. and not to other Common Stock held by any Reporting Person.  The filing of this Statement by the Reporting Persons is not an admission that any Reporting Person, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, is the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock included in this Statement in which such person does not have an ownership interest as reported in this Schedule 13D or that the “group”, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, is the beneficial owner of shares of Common Stock held by each Reporting Person that is a member of the group not held by Fisher Core Holdings L.P.

 

b)  The address of the principal business office for each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Pisces, Inc., One Maritime Plaza, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA  94111.

 

c)                                      (1)  Robert J.

(2)  John J. Fisher is principally employed as President of Pisces, Inc., which is a family management company.  The business address of Pisces, Inc. is One Maritime Plaza, Suite 1400, San Francisco, CA 94111.

(4)  Fisher Core Holdings L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership formed for the purpose of holding, managing and voting shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as directed by its general partners.

 

d) & e)  During the last five years, the Reporting Persons (i) have not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) and (ii) have not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

 

f)  The following Reporting Persons are citizens of the United States:  Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher.  Fisher Core Holdings L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership.

 

Item 3.                                                         Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

 

The Reporting Persons are deemed to beneficially own certain shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as reflected in this Statement, including certain shares also beneficially owned by other Reporting Persons as general partners of Fisher Core Holdings L.P.  No consideration was used to acquire beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer which the Reporting Persons are deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of as a result of having entered into the LP Agreement.

 

In addition to the Common Stock that the Reporting Persons are deemed to have acquired beneficial ownership of through the LP Agreement, Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher also acquired shares of Common Stock of the Issuer prior to the registration of such shares under the Act or by gift.  Robert J. Fisher and William S. Fisher have also and may in the future acquire shares of Common Stock of the Issuer upon release of stock units granted by the Issuer, and settlement of their related dividend equivalent rights.

 

Robert J. Fisher, William S. Fisher and John J. Fisher also acquired shares of Common Stock of the Issuer from certain trusts of which Reporting Persons are co-trustees in exchange for assets.

 

Item 4.                                                         Purpose of Transaction

 

This Statement is being filed to update the percentage beneficial ownership information with respect to each Reporting Person as a result in the change in outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Persons review their respective investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may, at any time, consistent with the obligations of the Reporting Persons under the federal securities laws, determine to increase or decrease their respective ownership of shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock through purchases or sales of such Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or by gift or other transfers as circumstances dictate.  From time to time, the Reporting Persons have transferred shares to various entities controlled by them, disposed of certain shares to third parties by gift and sold shares of Issuer Common Stock in the open market and in privately negotiated transactions, and the Reporting Persons may do so in the future.  The review of their respective investments in the Issuer by the Reporting Persons will depend on various factors, including the Issuer’s business prospects, other developments concerning the Issuer, alternative investment opportunities, general economic conditions, money and stock market conditions, and any other facts and circumstances which may become known to the Reporting Persons regarding their respective investments in the Issuer.  At the time of filing this Statement, the Reporting Persons have no plans to sell or to purchase additional shares of Common Stock of the Issuer in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions but may engage in such transactions in the future.

 

At the time of the filing of this Statement, except as disclosed in this Statement, the Reporting Persons have no present plans or proposals in their capacity as stockholders which relate to or would result in (i) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any change in the board of directors or management of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, (v) any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure; (vi) changes in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, (vii) causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or cease to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (viii) a class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act or

(ix) any action similar to any of those described above.  However, because Robert J. Fisher and William S. Fisher are members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may, from time to time, be involved in discussions which relate to one or more of the matters described in this Item 4.  Each of the Reporting Persons disclaims any obligation to report on any plans or proposals with respect to the matters described in this Item 4 that develop or occur as a result of any Reporting Person’s role as a director of the Issuer and participation in decisions regarding the Issuer’s actions.

 

Item 5.                                                         Interest in Securities of the Issuer

 

a), b)   As of the date of this Statement, pursuant to the LP Agreement, as amended, and the irrevocable proxies described in Item 6, the Reporting Persons beneficially own, have the sole or shared power to vote, and have the sole or shared dispositive power over, respectively, the number of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer listed below, representing approximately the percentage of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 27, 2015 identified below.  As reported by the Issuer, there were approximately 401,902,135 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of November 27, 2015.
