This amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) amends the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 31, 2023 (the “Schedule 13D”), to report and reflect a reduction in the Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock solely as a result of  the transfer of the Issuer’s shares to the Reporting Person’s limited partners in connection with the repurchase of such limited partners’ membership interests in the Reporting Person through a tender offer transaction.  All shares transferred to limited partners in the tender offer transaction continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer under securities laws and a significant portion are also subject to a 12-month lockup expiring July 21, 2024 as provided in the Issuer’s bylaws. The intent to complete the tender offer transaction was previously disclosed in the original Schedule 13D filed with the SEC. The Reporting Person did not sell any of the Issuer’s shares to the public in connection with the reported dispositions. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

 

Item 2 is amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) This Schedule 13D is filed by the Reporting Person. Robert Grant (“Mr. Grant”), an individual, serves as the Chairman and sole Manager of the Reporting Person and is making the disclosures herein pursuant to Instruction C. Mr. Grant disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities reflected in this Schedule 13D except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and this Schedule 13D shall not be deemed an admission that Mr. Grant is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose. Additionally, neither the fact of this filing nor anything contained herein shall be deemed to be an admission by the Reporting Person that it and certain other persons constitute a “group.”

 

(b) The business address of the Reporting Person and Mr. Grant is 4040 MacArthur Boulevard, Suite 310, Newport Beach, California 92660.

 

(c) The Reporting Person is a physician-owned cooperative growth equity firm.

(e) During the last five years, neither the Reporting Person nor Mr. Grant has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of which it 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.

 

(f) The Reporting Person is a Delaware limited liability company. Mr. Grant is a citizen of the United States.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

 

Item 5 is amended and restated as follows:

 

(a) See rows (11) and (13) of the cover page to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock and the percentage of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person. The percentage used in this Schedule 13D is calculated based upon 37,155,536 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of July 21, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in its Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 18, 2023.

 

(b) See rows (7) through (10) of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D for the number of shares of Class A common Stock as to which the Reporting Person has the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote, and sole or shared power to dispose or director the disposition.

 

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D and the tender offer described below, no transactions in the shares of Class A Common Stock were effected by the Reporting Person during the past 60 days. On August 11, 2023, the Reporting Person completed the transfer of an aggregate of 7,380,394 shares of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock to the Reporting Person’s limited partners as partial consideration for the repurchase of certain membership interests of the Reporting Person in connection with a tender offer transaction. All shares transferred to limited partners in the tender offer transaction continue to be subject to restrictions on transfer under securities laws and a significant portion are also subject to a 12-month lockup expiring July 21, 2024 as provided in the Issuer’s bylaws. The Reporting Person did not sell any of the Issuer’s shares to the public in connection with the reported dispositions.

 

(d) Except as set forth herein, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, 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, any shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.

 

(e) Not applicable.
