Item 1.
SECURITY AND ISSUER

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No.1”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to §240.13d-2(a), to amend and supplement the statement on Schedule 13D filed on August 31, 2015 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) with respect to the shares of Common Stock, $1.00 par value per share, (“Shares”) of Anixter International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”) whose 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 Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On July 26, 2017, SZRT entered into a purchase agreement (the “SZRT Purchase Agreement”) with KMJZ Investments, L.L.C. (“KMJZ”), pursuant to which SZRT agreed to sell 400,568 Shares to KMJZ at a price equal to the average of the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the New York Stock Exchange of one Share as of the date on which the transaction occurs.

Also on July 26, 2017, the Samuel Zell Trust entered into a purchase agreement (the “Samuel Zell Trust Purchase Agreement”) with KMJZ, pursuant to which Samuel Zell Trust agreed to sell 125,709 Shares to KMJZ at a price equal to the average of the highest and lowest quoted selling prices on the New York Stock Exchange of one Share as of the date on which the transaction occurs.

The descriptions contained herein of the SZRT Purchase Agreement and Samuel Zell Trust Purchase Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of such documents, which are attached as Exhibit C and Exhibit D, respectively, to this Amendment No. 1 and are incorporated by reference herein.

KMJZ is a Delaware limited liability company owned by various trusts established for the benefit of Samuel Zell and members of his family.  The trustee of such trusts is Chai Trust.  Samuel Zell is not an officer or director of Chai Trust and does not have voting or dispositive power over such shares.

The sales described in this Item 4 of Amendment No. 1 (the “Sales”) are for estate planning purposes, part of the Samuel Zell Trust’s and KMJZ’s respective ongoing portfolio management and Samuel Zell’s and the Samuel Zell Trust’s investment planning.  The Sales do not reflect an adverse change in the Reporting Persons’ views on the prospects of the Issuer, or its businesses, management or directors. The Sales do not contemplate 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.
