This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on July 29, 2021 (the Original Schedule 13D). Except as set forth herein, the Original Schedule 13D is unmodified and remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed to such term in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.

 

Item 5

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a), 5(b) and 5(e) of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

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 Item 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a) (b) The Reporting Person beneficially owns 247,943 shares of Common Stock, or 0.10% of the Common Stock outstanding.

Calculations of beneficial ownership are based on 178,972,178 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer reported outstanding in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2021.

The Reporting Person, certain affiliates of Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (Silver Lake) and certain affiliates of Thoma Bravo, LP (Thoma Bravo) and certain co-investors of Thoma Bravo (collectively, the Stockholders) were parties to the Stockholders Agreement described in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D (the Stockholders 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. As a result of the amendment to the Stockholders Agreement described in Item 6, the Reporting Person is no longer 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).

(e) The Reporting Person ceased to be part of a group owning more than five percent of the Common Stock on December 13, 2021.

 

Item 6

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings and Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by inserting the following as a new paragraph at the end of Item 6:

First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Stockholders Agreement

On December 13, 2021, the Company, certain affiliates of Thoma Bravo and certain affiliates of Silver Lake (collectively with the Thoma Bravo Funds, the Sponsors) executed an amendment to the Stockholders Agreement (the Amendment) in order to remove the TB Co-Investors (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) as parties to such agreement. The Reporting Person is a TB Co-Investor. As a result, the TB Co-Investors will no longer have any rights or obligations thereunder, subject to Section 6.3 of the Stockholders Agreement. The Amendment also amends the Stockholders Agreement to provide that with respect to certain required stock ownership thresholds applicable to the rights of the Sponsors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, including the right to nominate persons for election to the Companys board of directors, the determination of whether the Sponsors satisfy such thresholds will be based on the stock ownership of the Sponsors relative to the Companys then-current outstanding shares of common stock rather than the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Distribution.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
