Item 3. | Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration |
The Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons was acquired on July 19, 2021 in connection with the distribution of shares of Common Stock by SolarWinds Corporation (SolarWinds) to holders of SolarWinds common stock as of July 12, 2021 (the Distribution).

Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.
CUSIP No. 62878D100 |
Item 5 | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.
(a) (b) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 1,239,867 shares of Common Stock, or 0.7% of the Common Stock outstanding.
Calculations of beneficial ownership are based on 178,746,342 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer assumed to be outstanding following the Distribution as set forth in the Issuers Information Statement, dated July 12, 2021, circulated to stockholders of SolarWinds in connection with the Distribution and filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 12, 2021.
Certain of the Reporting Persons and other stockholders listed on Annex B attached hereto (collectively, the Stockholders) are parties to a Stockholder Agreement (the Stockholder Agreement), which contains, among other things, certain provisions relating to transfer of, and coordination of the voting of, securities of the Issuer by the parties thereto.
By virtue of the Stockholders Agreement described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons acknowledge and agree that they are acting as a group with the other Stockholders within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Based in part on information provided by or on behalf of the other Stockholders, as of July 19, 2021, such a group would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 122,971,296 shares of Common Stock, or 68.8% of the total number of shares outstanding. The Stockholders Agreement also provides the Reporting Persons with the right to require the disposition of the Common Shares held by the stockholders listed on Annex B hereto (other than affiliates of Silver Lake). Based in part on information provided by the Issuer, as of July 19, 2021, an aggregate of 11,406,777 shares of Common Stock were subject to such right. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Stockholder Agreement. Certain entities affiliated with Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (Silver Lake) and the stockholders listed on Annex B attached hereto are separately making Schedule 13D filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, the Reporting Persons expressly declare that the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement held by any other person. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group other than as described in this Schedule 13D.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of such persons, the persons named in Schedule A, has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
