CUSIP No. 388689 101 SCHEDULE 13D Page 4 of 10

Item 1. Security and Issuer

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed by the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on March 20, 2008, with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Issuer Common Stock”), of Graphic Packaging Holding Company, a Delaware corporation (“GPK” or the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive office of the Issuer is 814 Livingston Court, Marietta, Georgia 30067.

Item 2. Identity and Background

This statement is being filed by: (i) Old Town S.A. (“Old Town”, formerly known as Exor Group S.A. or “EXOR”); and (ii) Giovanni Agnelli e C. S.a.p.az. (“GA”, and together with Old Town, the “Reporting Persons”).

There is no material change to the identity and background of Old Town.

GA’s principal business and principal office is Via Nizza, 250, 10126, Turin, Italy. GA is managed by, and therefore deemed to be controlled by, for purposes of the Exchange Act, members of the Agnelli family.

Attached as Schedule A hereto and incorporated by reference herein is a list of (i) all executive officers and directors of each Reporting Person which is a corporation, (ii) all general partners of each Reporting Person which is a partnership, (iii) all persons controlling any of the foregoing (to the extent not provided herein) and (iv) all executive officers and directors of any corporations ultimately in control of any of the foregoing. Such Schedule A also sets forth the address, principal occupation or employment and, with respect to natural persons, citizenship of each person listed thereon.

During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons (or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto) (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a 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 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

No material change.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following at the end of Item 4 of the Schedule 13D:

“On December 12, 2012, the Issuer, Old Town and the other selling stockholders listed as party thereto (together with Old Town, the “Selling Stockholders”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, as representatives of the underwriters listed therein (the “Underwriters”), with respect to an offering of Issuer Common Stock by the Selling Stockholders, at a price to the public of $6.10 per share of Issuer Common Stock. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, on December 18, 2012, Old Town sold 2,422,417 shares of Issuer Common Stock and on December 20, 2012, Old Town sold an additional 363,363 shares of Issuer Common Stock pursuant to an over-allotment option. Reference is made to the registration statement on Form S-3 filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Registration No. 333-176606).

Concurrently with the execution of the Underwriting Agreement, the Selling Stockholders agreed to a lock-up agreement with the Underwriters (the “Lock-up Agreement”). Pursuant to the Lock-up Agreement, each Selling Stockholder agreed that, for a period of 90 days from the date of the Underwriting Agreement, and subject to certain exceptions specified therein, it would not, directly or indirectly, (1) offer pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell

CUSIP No. 388689 101 SCHEDULE 13D Page 5 of 10

any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any shares of Issuer Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Issuer Common Stock, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by such Selling Stockholder or with respect to which such Selling Stockholder has or hereafter acquires the power of disposition, or exercise any right with respect to the registration of any shares of Issuer Common Stock, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (2) enter into any swap or other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of the shares of Issuer Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction is to be settled by delivery of shares of Issuer Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. As set forth in the Lock-up Agreement, the lock-up period may be extended beyond the 90-day period under certain circumstances.

On December 12, 2012, the Selling Stockholders entered into a Share Repurchase Agreement with the Issuer (the “Share Repurchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders agreed to sell an aggregate of 49,180,327 shares of Issuer Common Stock at a price of $6.10 per share of Issuer Common Stock to the Issuer (the “Share Repurchase Transaction”). The Issuer agreed that all shares of Issuer Common Stock purchased by it in the Share Repurchase Transaction would be retired on the closing date of such transaction. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Agreement, Old Town sold 7,391,024 shares of Issuer Common Stock.

The foregoing description of the Underwriting Agreement, Lock-up Agreement and Share Repurchase Agreement do not purport to be a complete description of the terms thereof and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Underwriting Agreement (filed as Exhibit 2 hereto), Lock-up Agreement (Exhibit B-2 of the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 2 hereto) and Share Repurchase Agreement (filed as Exhibit 3 hereto).”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of this Schedule 13D is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety as follows”

“(a) and (b) The information contained on the cover pages to this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3, 4 and 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

(i) Following the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement, Old Town is the direct beneficial owner of 24,045,696 shares of Issuer Common Stock representing approximately 6.98% of Issuer Common Stock, based on 393,708,623 share of Issuer Common Stock outstanding as of the close of the business day on November 30, 2012 and giving effect to the Share Repurchase Transaction, resulting in 344,528,296 shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding. Because of its deemed control of Old Town, GA may be deemed to beneficially own all of the Issuer Common Stock owned of record by Old Town.

(ii) By virtue of the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Covered Stockholders may be deemed to be a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b) under the Exchange Act. As members of the group, each of the Covered Stockholders may be deemed to beneficially own the Issuer Common Stock beneficially owned by the members of the group as a whole. If deemed a group, the Reporting Persons together with the other Covered Stockholders may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 233,822,281 shares of Issuer Common Stock, representing approximately 67.87% of the Issuer Common Stock, based on 393,708,623 share of Issuer Common Stock outstanding as of the close of the business day on November 30, 2012 and giving effect to the Share Repurchase Transaction, resulting in 344,528,296 shares of Issuer Common Stock outstanding. Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of those shares of Issuer Common Stock held by any other member of the group.

(iii) Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be construed as an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is, for the purpose of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of Issuer Common Stock other than those which they acquired pursuant to the transactions described herein.

(iv) Except as described in subsections (i)-(iii), no other person is a beneficial owner of the Issuer Common Stock in which Old Town has direct beneficial ownership.

CUSIP No. 388689 101 SCHEDULE 13D Page 6 of 10

(c) Except pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Underwriting Agreement and the Share Repurchase Agreement, to the best knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, none of the Reporting Persons has engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days in, any shares of Issuer Common Stock.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Issuer Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

(e) Not applicable.
