SCHEDULE 13D

CUSIP No: 035290105
Page 7 of 9 Pages
 
Item 1. Security and Issuer
 
This Amendment No. 30 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons, as amended most recently by Amendment No. 29 filed on August 13, 2015 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, (“Shares”) of Anixter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).  The Issuer’s principal executive office is located at 2301 Patriot Blvd, Glenview, Illinois 60026.  All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
 
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

As disclosed in Item 4 of Amendment No. 29, Samstock/SIT, L.L.C. (“SIT”) and Samstock/SZRT, L.L.C. (“SZRT”) entered into a Purchase Agreement pursuant to which SIT agreed to sell 1,850,000 Shares to SZRT, conditioned on the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.  The waiting period was terminated on August 27, 2015.  Accordingly, pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the sale of 1,850,000 Shares by SIT to SZRT was consummated on August 27, 2015.
 
The sale is part of SIT’s ongoing portfolio management and does not reflect an adverse change in the Reporting Persons’ views on the prospects of the Issuer, or its businesses, management or directors.  The sale does not involve the disposition or acquisition of any Shares, or of the right to receive dividends or proceeds from the sale of any Shares, other than among Samuel Zell and certain entities and trusts established for the benefit of Samuel Zell and/or members of his family.
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) and (b) On August 27, 2015, SIT sold 1,850,000 Shares to SZRT, as further described in Item 5(c) below.  To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, there were 32,969,473 Shares outstanding on July 21, 2015, as reported by the Issuer on its Form 10-Q for the period ended July 3, 2015. Based upon the foregoing, and after giving effect to the sale of an aggregate of 1,850,000 Shares by SIT as further described in Item 5(c) below, (i) the 1,797,147 Shares held by SIT represent approximately 5.5% of the issued and outstanding Shares; (ii) the 55,587 Shares held by Alpha represent approximately 0.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares; (iii) the 55,588 Shares held by ZFT represent approximately 0.2% of the issued and outstanding Shares; (iv) the 28,700 Shares held by QTIP represent approximately 0.1% of the issued and outstanding Shares; and (v) the 1,937,022 Shares beneficially owned by Chai Trust represent approximately 5.9% of the issued and outstanding Shares. Chai Trust shares voting and dispositive power with each of SIT, Alpha, QTIP and ZFT with respect to the Shares held by each of SIT, Alpha, QTIP and ZFT, respectively.
 
(c) On August 27, 2015, SIT sold an aggregate of 1,850,000 Shares to SZRT pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (defined and described in Item 4 of Amendment No. 29) at a price per share of $60.59755, which equals the average of the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the New York Stock Exchange of one Share on August 27, 2015.  Except as described in this Item 5(c), during the last 60 days, no transactions in the Shares were effected by the Reporting Persons.
