This Amendment No. 7 relates to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 9, 2012, as amended by Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) filed on June 20, 2012, Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) filed on August 6, 2012, Amendment No. 3 filed on August 13, 2012 (“Amendment No. 3”), Amendment No. 4 filed on November 18, 2013 (“Amendment No. 4”), Amendment No. 5 filed on March 31, 2014 (“Amendment No. 5”), Amendment No. 6 filed on February 12, 2015 (as so amended, collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the Ordinary Shares, $1.00 par value per share (the “Shares”), of Ingersoll Rand PLC, an Irish public limited company (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 170/175 Lakeview Dr., Airside Business Park, Swords, Co. Dublin, Ireland.
 
Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
 
Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction
 
 
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented with the following:
 
Between the filing of Amendment No. 6 and 4:00 p.m. New York City time on February 19, 2015, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate of 2,406,808 Shares. Following such sales, the Reporting Persons, in the aggregate, beneficially own 12,975,662 Shares (or approximately  4.93% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares based on 263,321,574 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of February 2, 2015, as reported in the Issuer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014 (the “Form 10-K”)), of which 12,279,858 Shares (or approximately 4.66% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares based on the 263,321,754 shares outstanding pursuant to the Form 10-K) are beneficially owned by the Trian Group.  In the future, CalSTRS will make independent investment decisions in respect of its holdings in the Issuer and, therefore, the Trian Group and CalSTRS no longer constitute a group in respect of their respective holdings in the Issuer.  Because the Trian Group’s holdings in the Issuer are now under 5% and it no longer constitutes a group with CalSTRS, the Trian Group does not anticipate making future filings on Schedule 13D in respect of its investment in the Issuer.
 
With respect to CalSTRS, depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position, results and strategic direction, price levels of the Shares, other investment opportunities available to CalSTRS, the adjustment and management of positions in CalSTRS’ portfolio, conditions in the securities and capital markets, and general economic and industry conditions, CalSTRS may, from time to time and at any time, in the future take such actions with respect to its investment in the Issuer as it deems appropriate including, but not limited to: purchasing additional securities of the Issuer in the open market or otherwise; selling some or all of CalSTRS holdings in the Issuer in the open market or otherwise, at any time and from time to time; entering into financial instruments or other agreements that increase or decrease CalSTRS’ economic exposure with respect to its investment in the Issuer; and/or engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to such holdings.
 
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
 
Item 5 is amended by deleting Item 5 of the Schedule 13D and replacing it with the following:
 
(a) As of 4:00 p.m. New York City time, on February 19, 2015, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned, in the aggregate 12,975,662 Shares, representing approximately 4.93% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares (calculated based on 263,321,574 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock outstanding as of February 2, 2015, as reported in the Form 10-K).  Such Shares include an aggregate of 9,266,097 Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons through direct ownership of the Shares representing approximately 3.52 % of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares, and an additional 3,709,565 Shares underlying the Options that are held by Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore and TPSIF representing approximately 1.41% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares.
 
(b) As of February 19, 2015, pursuant to a Contribution Agreement dated June 15, 2012 as amended from time to time (the “Contribution Agreement”), Holdco held 1,337,587, 299,903, 158,252, 112,186, 527,530, 877,250, 2,824,898, 64,436 and 258,514 Shares that were contributed to it by Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, Trian ERISA, TPSIF, SPV VI SPV VI-A,  TPG and Strategic Fund G-II, respectively, in exchange for their proportionate share of equity securities in Holdco. As such, Holdco may be deemed to have shared voting power and dispositive power with regard to, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3), the Shares that Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, Trian ERISA, TPSIF, SPV VI, SPV VI-A TPG and Strategic Fund G-II contributed to it pursuant to the Contribution Agreement.  Strategic Fund-A, Coinvest Fund-A and Strategic Fund D continue to beneficially and directly own and have sole voting power and sole dispositive power of 1,118,393, 708,140 and 281,966 Shares, respectively, and each of Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore and TPSIF continue to directly and beneficially own 237,303, 3,234,135 and 238,127 Shares, respectively, underlying the Options held by each such entity. Trian Management continues to directly and beneficially own 1,238 Director Shares.  To the extent that the other Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting power and dispositive power with regard to any of the Shares, such information is set forth below.
 
Each of Trian Management, Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden, by virtue of their relationships to Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, Trian ERISA, TPSIF, Strategic Fund-A, Coinvest Fund-A, SPV VI, SPV VI-A, Strategic Fund D, TPG, Strategic Fund G-II and Holdco (discussed in Item 2), may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3), the Shares (including Shares underlying the Options) that Trian Onshore, Trian Offshore, Parallel Fund I, Trian ERISA, TPSIF, Strategic Fund-A, Coinvest Fund-A, SPV VI,  SPV VI-A, Strategic Fund D, TPG, Strategic Fund G-II and Holdco directly and beneficially own.  Each of Trian Management, Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
 
Each of Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden, by virtue of the Director Fee Agreement, may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to, and therefore may be deemed to beneficially own (as that term is defined in Rule 13d-3), the 1,238 Director Shares currently held by Trian Management.  Each of Trian Management GP, Nelson Peltz, Peter W. May and Edward P. Garden disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares for all other purposes.
 
CalSTRS has the sole power to vote or direct the vote of 695,804 Shares (the “CalSTRS Shares”) and the sole power to dispose of or direct the disposition of 507,002 of the CalSTRS Shares.  With respect to the other 188,802 CalSTRS Shares, the power to dispose or to direct the disposition of such Shares is shared with certain of its external managers, as follows: (i) 133,680 CalSTRS Shares with BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A, (ii) 6,538 CalSTRS Shares with State Street Bank and Trust Company, (iii) 1,026 CalSTRS Shares with Parametric Portfolio Associates LLC, (iv) 1,328 CalSTRS Shares with Gateway Investment Advisers, LLC, (v) 43,280 CalSTRS Shares with QS Batterymarch Financial Management, Inc. and  (vi)  2,950 CalSTRS Shares with TWIN Capital Management, Inc.
 
CalSTRS has been informed by BlackRock Institutional Trust Company, N.A. ("BTC") that its principal business is to provide diversified investment management and securities lending services to institutional clients, intermediary and individual investors through various investment vehicles and that its business address is 400 Howard Street, San Francisco, CA 94105.  In addition, BTC has further informed CalSTRS that on January 20, 2012, BTC entered into an Offer of Settlement with the CFTC and consented to the entry of an Order, which makes findings and imposes remedial sanctions against BTC.  Without admitting or denying wrongdoing, BTC agreed to the imposition of a $250,000 penalty and the entry of the Order to resolve allegations by the CFTC that two trades by BTC violated Section 4c(a)(1) of the Commodity Exchange Act and CFTC Regulation 1.38(a).   BTC also agreed to refrain from any further violations of the above-mentioned statutory provisions.  The CFTC did not allege, nor find, that any clients of BTC or any related affiliate were harmed in any way.  On September 16, 2014, BTC entered into an agreement with the SEC to resolve allegations relating to three alleged violations of an SEC regulation prohibiting short sales of an equity security during the restricted period preceding a public offering.  The three trades at issue occurred in 2010 and 2011. As part of the approximately $1.7 million settlement, BTC agreed to disgorge profits from each of the violations and to pay interest and a civil penalty. BTC also agreed to cease and desist from any future violations of the rule in question.  Aside from the matters listed above, in the previous five years BTC has not been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and similar misdemeanors) nor (ii) a party to any other civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, and as a result of such proceeding, was or is the subject to a judgment, decree or final order (with the exception of the matters described above) 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.
