SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 37890B 100
EXPLANATORY NOTE:
This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person on June 6, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on July 12, 2023, with respect to the Class A common stock (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
The responses to Items 5 and 6 of this Amendment and to Items 2 and 3 of the Schedule 13D are incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.
On January 11, 2024, pursuant to a pro rata redemption and exchange transaction between the Reporting Person, on the one hand, and all of its members, on the other hand (the “Repurchase and Exchange Agreement”), the Reporting Person has repurchased the common shares in the capital of the Reporting Person held by each of its members in exchange for the transfer by the Reporting Person to its members of all of its interests in the Issuer and JerseyCo. (together with all rights applicable to such transferred shares under the Registration Rights Agreement).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth below:
The responses to Items 4 and 6 of this Amendment and to Items 2 and 3 of the Schedule 13D are incorporated into this Item 5 by reference.
(a), (b) The Reporting Person does not beneficially own any securities of the Issuer.
(c) Pursuant to the Repurchase and Exchange Agreement, the Reporting Person distributed to each of its members (i) all previously reported shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) all of its interests in JerseyCo.
(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, no person other than the Reporting Person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Person.
(e) After giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Repurchase and Exchange Agreement, the Reporting person ceased to be the beneficial owner if more than five percent of the Common Stock. The filing of this Amendment No. 2 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Person.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following:
The responses to Items 4 and 5 of this Amendment are incorporated into this Item 6 by reference.
As reported previously, the Reporting Person previously entered into a Shareholders Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2022 (as further clarified by those certain letters dated November 17, 2022, and July 10, 2023, the “Shareholders Agreement”) with the Issuer, JerseyCo, American Express Travel Holdings Netherlands Coöperatief U.A. and Expedia. The Reporting Person has since distributed all of its equity interests in the Issuer and JerseyCo to its members, including Q.H. Travel LP (“QIA”).
On January 11, 2024, the Issuer entered into an amended and restated Shareholders Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement”) with JerseyCo, American Express International, Inc. (“Amex HoldCo.”), Expedia and QIA, pursuant to which, among other things, the Reporting Person was removed as a party to the Shareholders Agreement and QIA was made subject to certain obligations and provided with certain rights previously provided to the Reporting Person.
On January 11, 2024, the Issuer also entered into a letter agreement with JerseyCo, the Reporting Person, Amex HoldCo., Expedia, QIA and the Reporting Person’s other members (the “Specified Juweel Investors”), pursuant to which the Specified Juweel Investors agreed to be bound by certain restrictive covenants in the Shareholders Agreement as if they were a party thereto (the “Letter Agreement”).
The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement and the Letter Agreement, filed herewith as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
