This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 30, 2015, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on July 13, 2015 and as amended by Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) filed on July 29, 2015 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Ordinary Shares, nominal value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Pentair plc, an Irish public limited company (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is P.O. Box 471, Sharp Street, Walkden, Manchester, M28 8BU United Kingdom.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.  Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified.

Items 4, 5 and 7 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

On September 7, 2015, Trian Management, Edward P. Garden, Chief Investment Officer and a Founding Partner of Trian Management, and Matthew Peltz and Brian Baldwin, each of whom is also a Partner at Trian Management, entered into a letter agreement with the Issuer (the “Letter Agreement”).  Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Issuer agreed that it will submit to its shareholders at its annual general meeting of shareholders in 2016 or at any special meeting of shareholders called prior to such time (each, the “Shareholder Meeting”), and will recommend that its shareholders approve and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of, a resolution to amend the Issuer’s articles of association to increase the maximum size of the Issuer’s Board of Directors by one director to twelve directors (the “Amendment Resolution”).  Following shareholder approval of the Amendment Resolution, the Board will immediately appoint Mr. Garden as director to fill the resulting vacancy and appoint Mr. Garden as a member of Pentair’s Compensation Committee.  Pentair further agreed that beginning on or prior to September 21, 2015 (the “Commencement Date”) until the Shareholder Meeting, Mr. Garden will have the right to attend, and participate in, all meetings of the Board (and all meetings of the Compensation Committee) in a non-voting participant capacity.  In addition, beginning on the Commencement Date, either of Mr. Peltz or Mr. Baldwin will have the right to attend all meetings of the Board (and all meetings of the Compensation Committee) in a non-voting, non-participating observer capacity, subject to certain limitations.  The Letter Agreement follows a series of collaborative discussions between the Issuer and Trian Management, one of the Issuer’s largest shareholders.

The foregoing description of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2, and is incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information:

(a) As of 4:00 p.m. on September 4, 2015, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 13,005,377 Shares, representing approximately 7.22% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (calculated based on 180,055,920 ordinary shares outstanding as of June 27, 2015, as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 27, 2015).

(c)  There have been no new transactions by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 2.
