If the filing person has previously filed a statement on Schedule 13G to report the acquisition that is the subject of this Schedule 13D, and is filing this schedule because of §§240.13d-1(e), 240.13d-1(f) or

The information required on the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that
section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).
This Amendment No. 1 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 (the "SEC") on October 21, 2019 (the "Schedule 13D"), relating
to the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Shares"), of Forescout Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (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 2. Identity and Background
This statement on Schedule 13D is filed on behalf of Corvex Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Corvex”), and Keith Meister, a U.S. citizen (collectively, the “Corvex Persons”). This statement relates to Shares held for the accounts
of certain private investment funds for which Corvex acts as investment adviser, including Corvex Master Fund LP and Corvex Select Equity Master Fund LP, each a Cayman Islands limited partnership, the general partner of each of which is controlled by
Mr. Meister (collectively, the “Corvex Funds”). The general partner of Corvex is controlled by Mr. Meister. The principal business address of each of Corvex and Mr. Meister is 667 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10065. The principal business of Corvex
is serving as the investment adviser of private investment funds, whose principal business is investing in securities. Mr. Meister’s principal occupation is serving as the Managing Partner of Corvex.
The Corvex Persons previously reported that they may have been deemed to have been members of a Section 13(d) group with Jericho Capital Asset Management L.P. and certain of its affiliates (the “Jericho Persons”). On February 6, 2020, following
the Issuer’s announcement that it had agreed to be acquired but prior to the Corvex Persons executing the sales of Shares reported herein, the Corvex Persons and Jericho Persons terminated any possible Section 13(d) group relationship between them.
During the last five years, none of Corvex, Mr. Meister or any of the Corvex Funds has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or has been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order 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.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
On February 6, 2020, prior to the 9:30 a.m. Eastern time opening of trading in Shares, (1) the Issuer publicly announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Advent International and a co-investor will acquire all of
the outstanding Shares of the Issuer for $33.00 per Share in an all cash transaction and (2) in light of such announcement, the Corvex Persons and the Jericho Persons no longer intend to engage together with the Issuer and its management regarding
its business and prospects and as a result terminated any possible group relationship within the meaning of Regulation 13D-G of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
(a)-(b) The Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any Shares.
(c) Except as set forth in Exhibit 3 attached hereto, there have been no transactions in the Shares during the sixty days prior to the date hereof by any of the Corvex 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) On February 6, 2020, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the Issuer’s Shares.
