Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on October 14, 2022 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of KnowBe4, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

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

On February 1, 2023, the Issuer completed the previously disclosed merger with Oranje Merger Sub, Inc (the “Merger”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Oranje Holdco, LLC (“Parent”). In connection with the consummation of the Merger, 12,048,193 shares of Class A Common Stock (the “Rollover Shares”) owned by the Reporting Persons were contributed to Parent in exchange for newly issued equity interests of Oranje Topco, Inc. Each outstanding share of Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock” and together with the Class A Common Stock, the “Common Stock”), owned by the Reporting Persons was converted into the right to receive $24.90 in cash. Consequently, the Reporting Persons disposed of an aggregate of 14,067,702 shares of Class B Common Stock in the Merger, in exchange for $350,285,779.80.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 (a) – (c) and (e) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and rest ated as follows:

(a) – (b) The response of the Reporting Persons to rows 7 through 13 on the cover page of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference herein.

As of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Merger described in Item 4 above, none of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, and none of the Reporting Persons has or shares the power to vote or to direct the vote, or the power to dispose or direct the disposition of, any shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

(c) Except as set forth in the Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other individual named in Item 2 has engaged in any transaction in any shares of Class A Common Stock during the 60 calendar days preceding the date of this filing.

(e) On February 1, 2023, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of 5% or more of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. Accordingly, this statement on Schedule 13D is hereby terminated, and this Amendment No. 2 constitutes the final amendment hereto.
