This Amendment No. 3 supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by Corvex Management LP and Keith Meister with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on January 24, 2014, as amended from time to time (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.18 per share (the “Shares”) of Signet Jewelers Limited, a Bermuda company (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D is supplementally amended as follows.

Item 3.                    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
The Reporting Persons used working capital of the Corvex Funds to purchase the 5,629,153 Shares reported herein. The total purchase price for the Shares reported herein was $455,376,654.50, including commissions.
 
Various of the Reporting Persons may effect purchases of securities through margin accounts maintained for them with brokers, which extend margin credit as and when required to open or carry positions in their margin accounts, subject to applicable federal margin regulations, stock exchange rules and such firms’ credit policies.  Positions in Shares may be held in margin accounts and may be pledged as collateral security for the repayment of debit balances in the accounts.
 
Item 5.                    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
(a) – (b) Corvex may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 5,629,153 Shares, which represent approximately 7.1% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares.  Corvex may be deemed to have sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of 5,629,153 Shares.  By virtue of his position as control person of the general partner of Corvex, Mr. Meister may be considered to beneficially own such Shares.
 
The percentage calculated in the immediately foregoing paragraph is calculated based on a total of 79,531,968 Shares outstanding as of November 30, 2015 (based on the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended October 31, 2015).
 
(c)           Except as set forth on Exhibit 2 hereto, there have been no transactions with respect to the Shares during the sixty days prior to the date hereof by any of the Reporting Persons.
 
(d)           The limited partners of (or investors in) each of the private investment funds for which Corvex or its affiliates acts as general partner and/or investment adviser have the right to participate in the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Shares held for the accounts of their respective funds in accordance with their respective limited partnership interests (or investment percentages) in their respective funds.
 
(e)           Not applicable.
 
Item 7.                    Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
 
Exhibit 2 - Transactions in the Shares effected in the past 60 days.
