This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13G filed by the Reporting Persons on January 26, 2015 and all subsequent Schedule 13D and amendments to Schedule 13Ds
filed by the Reporting Persons on each of June 23, 2015, July 22, 2015, August 25, 2015, December 22, 2015, January 19, 2016, March 17, 2016, March 24, 2016, June 8, 2017, June 27, 2017, December 22, 2017 and August 29, 2018 (collectively as amended,
the “Original Schedule 13” and, together with this Amendment, the “Schedule 13G”), relating to the common stock, $0.0001 par value
per share (the “Shares”), of Upland Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”).
The purpose of this Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D is to report that the shares previously reported as beneficially owned by Acorn Performance Group, Inc. (“Acorn”), a subsidiary controlled by ESW, on the Original Schedule 13, were in fact registered to Acorn in error as the conditions to a contemplated stock transfer agreement between Acorn and DevFactory were never
satisfied. As a result, Acorn never acquired beneficial ownership of the Shares and DevFactory is, and has at all times since the Issuer’s initial public offering, the beneficial owner of the Shares. The error in the share registry was corrected on
May 19, 2021.
All disclosure for items contained in the Original Schedule 13 where no new information is provided for such item in this Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by this
reference.
