Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Original Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

This Amendment No. 6 is being filed to make updates and amendments to the Original Schedule 13D as follows:

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Amendment amends Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D by replacing in their entirety Schedules I, II-A, II-B and III, incorporated therein by reference, with Schedules I, II-A, II-B and III hereto, respectively, which Schedules I, II-A, II-B and III are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

This Amendment amends Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D by adding the paragraphs set forth below as the fourth to last, third to last, and second to last paragraphs of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D:

“Closing of the Transaction

On August 2, 2021, the Issuer announced that it had consummated the Contemplated Stagwell Transaction pursuant to which the Issuer domesticated from a Canadian corporation to a Delaware corporation, MDC Delaware. Thereafter, MDC Delaware merged with Midas Merger Sub 1 LLC (the “MDC Merger”), with MDC Delaware continuing as the surviving corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of New MDC. Following the MDC Merger, MDC Delaware converted into a limited liability company and changed its name to “Midas OpCo Holdings LLC” (“OpCo”). Concurrent with the MDC Merger, New MDC converted into a Delaware corporation and, after the MDC Merger, succeeded MDC Delaware as the publicly-traded company under the name “Stagwell Inc.” As previously disclosed, in connection with the Contemplated Stagwell Transaction, the Holders entered into the Consent Agreement, as amended by the Amendment No. 1 to Consent Agreement.

On August 4, 2021, pursuant to the Consent Agreement, as amended, and following the consummation of the Contemplated Stagwell Transaction:

(i) the Issuer and the Holders entered into the SPA Amendment, among other things, (i) to provide the Holders the right to nominate one director to the Issuer’s board of directors so long as Holders remain the beneficial owners of at least fifty percent (50%) of the Series 8 Preferred Shares (the “Minimum Ownership Threshold”), (ii) to provide the right to participate, pro rata, in any proposed issuance of common or preferred units of OpCo until the Holders cease to meet the Minimum Ownership Threshold, and (iii) to provide that the Issuer agrees not to become party to certain change in control transactions until the Holders cease to hold Series 8 Preferred Shares representing at least two percent (2%) of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding Class A Shares.

(ii) the Holders delivered to the Issuer, and the Issuer accepted from the Holders, 73,849 Preference Shares in exchange for the issuance to the Holders of 73,849 Series 8 Preferred Shares;

(iii) The Issuer redeemed 21,151 Preference Shares held by the Holders in exchange for $25 million in cash;

(iv) the Issuer and the Holders entered into a letter agreement (the “Opco Letter Agreement”) by and between the Issuer (in its capacity as the Manager of OpCo) and the Holders, pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to (i) enforce its rights against OpCo in the event OpCo does not comply with Section 3.7 of the amended and restated OpCo LLC Agreement (the “A&R OpCo LLCA”), (ii) not permit Section 3.7 of the A&R OpCo LLCA to be waived, modified or amended in any manner which adversely affects the rights, preferences or privileges of any of the Holders without the prior consent of the Holders and (iii) in the event the Issuer withdraws as a member of OpCo or a new Manager of OpCo is appointed, cause the new Manager to execute the OpCo Letter Agreement to the Holders.

(v) the Issuer filed with the Delaware Secretary of State a Certificate of Designation of the Issuer’s Series 8 Preferred Shares (the “Series 8 Preferred Shares Certificate of Designation”) providing, among other things, that the Series 8 Preferred Shares will have a conversion price of $5.00 and an accretion rate on the base liquidation preference of zero percent per annum from the date hereof until the one year anniversary thereof and preserving certain rights the Preference Shares had pursuant to the Articles of Amendment under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

Each of the foregoing descriptions does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of the SPA Amendment, the OpCo Letter Agreement and the Certificate of Designation, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 1, 2 and 3, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

This Amendment amends and restates the second paragraph of Item 5 through the fifth paragraph of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

“(a)-(b) The following disclosure assumes there are 98,517,218.15 Class A Shares of the Issuer outstanding which includes (i) 77,563,885 Class A Shares outstanding as provided on the Issuer’s Form 10-Q, filed on August 5, 2021 and (ii) 20,953,333.15 Class A Shares of the Issuer deliverable upon conversion of the Series 8 Preferred Shares reported herein.

As of August 4, 2021, GS Group and Goldman Sachs may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of (i) 20,991,737.48 Class A Shares of the Issuer deliverable upon conversion of the Series 8 Preferred Shares reported herein and (ii) 38,404.33 Class A Shares acquired by Goldman Sachs or another wholly-owned broker or dealer subsidiary of GS Group in ordinary course trading activities, representing approximately 21.31% of the total number of Class A Shares.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act, as of August 4, GS Group and Goldman Sachs may be deemed to share beneficial ownership of 20,953,333.15 Class A Shares, consisting of (i) 17,424,273.07 Class A Shares (deliverable to BSPI upon conversion of the Series 8 Preferred Shares directly held by BSPI as reported herein) and (ii) 3,529,060.08 Class A Shares (deliverable to the Employee Funds upon conversion of the Series 8 Preferred Shares directly held by the Employee Funds as reported herein), collectively representing approximately 21.27% of the outstanding Class A Shares.

Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act, as of August 4, 2021, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to share beneficial ownership, of 20,953,333.15 Class A Shares (deliverable to BSPI and the Employee Funds upon conversion of the Series 8 Preferred Shares directly held by BSPI and the Employee Funds), which constitutes approximately 21.27% of the outstanding Class A Shares.”

This Amendment amends and restates the thirteenth paragraph of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

“No transactions in the Class A Shares were effected by any Reporting Person or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule I, Schedule II-A or Schedule II-B, during the sixty day period from May 9, 2021 through August 4, 2021.”

SCHEDULE III

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has alleged that Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) violated Regulation SHO under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) by improperly relying on Goldman Sachs’s automated locate function in the order management system without having confirmed the availability of the securities to be located. In addition, the SEC alleged that Goldman Sachs employees did not provide sufficient and accurate information with respect to these locates in Goldman Sachs’s locate log, which must reflect the basis upon which Goldman Sachs provided the locates. The SEC alleged that Goldman Sachs willfully violated Rule 203(b)(1) of Regulation SHO and Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act. Without admitting or denying the violations, Goldman Sachs consented to the entry by the SEC of an Order Instituting Administrative and Cease-and-Desist Proceedings, pursuant to Sections 15(b) and 21C of the Exchange Act, Making Findings, and Imposing Remedial Sanctions and a Cease-and-Desist Order (Release No. 34-76899, Jan. 14, 2016). Pursuant to the Order, Goldman Sachs must cease and desist from committing or causing any violations and any future violations of Rule 203(b)(1) of Regulation SHO, and any violations and any future violations of Section 17(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 203(b)(1)(iii) thereunder relating to short sale locate records. Also pursuant to the Order, Goldman Sachs was censured and paid a civil money penalty in the amount of $15,000,000 on January 20, 2016. The SEC stated that, in determining to accept Goldman Sachs’s offer of settlement, it considered certain remedial acts taken by Goldman Sachs.

On October 22, 2020, The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“GS Group”) entered into an order instituting cease and desist proceedings with the SEC, which alleged GS Group failed to reasonably maintain a sufficient system of internal accounting controls between 2012 and 2015 with respect to the process by which it reviewed and approved the commitment of firm capital in large, significant and complex transitions, such as the three bond offerings for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (“1MBD”), and that documentation prepared in connection with the 1MDB transactions did not accurately reflect certain aspects of the bond offerings, including the involvement of a third party intermediary in the offerings. GS Group has agreed to pay a civil money penalty in the amount of $400,000,000 and disgorgement of $606,300,000.
