Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D relates to Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Rover Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rover” or the “Issuer”) and amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 9, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on February 4, 2022 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”).

The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. 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 but not defined in this Amendment No. 2 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 and supplemented as follows:

Merger Agreement

On November 29, 2023, Rover entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Biscuit Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Biscuit Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Rover (collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Merger”), with Rover continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of investment funds managed by Blackstone Inc.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each issued and outstanding share of the Common Stock (other than certain exceptions, including shares of Common Stock owned by Rover, Parent or Merger Sub or by stockholders of Rover who have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented to the Merger in writing and who have properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to $11.00, without interest (the “Per Share Price”), and subject to applicable tax withholdings.

Pursuant to the Sponsor Support Agreement, dated February 10, 2021 (the “Sponsor Support Agreement”), by and among Nebula Caravel Holdings, LLC (“Nebula Caravel Holdings”), Nebula Caravel Acquisition Corp., A Place for Rover, Inc. (“Legacy Rover”), and the other parties thereto, 472,326 unvested shares of Common Stock owned by Nebula Caravel Holdings will vest in connection with the Merger (to the extent such shares have not, before the Merger, otherwise vested upon achievement of certain trading price thresholds pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 10, 2021 (the “Business Combination Agreement”), by and between Rover and Legacy Rover).

Consummation of the Merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions, including: (A) adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Merger by Rover’s stockholders; (B) the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the United States Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; and (C) the absence of any statute, rule, regulation, order, or other legal or regulatory restraint preventing, prohibiting or enjoining the consummation of the Merger.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit F hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

 

8


Voting Agreement

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Nebula Caravel Holdings has entered into a voting and support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with Parent and Merger Sub. Under the Voting Agreement, Nebula Caravel Holdings has committed to vote its shares of Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and against any competing transaction. Nebula Caravel Holdings has agreed not to transfer or pledge any shares of Common Stock prior to the approval of the Merger by the stockholders of Rover, subject to certain limited exceptions. The Voting Agreement terminates in certain circumstances, including in connection with Rover’s termination of the Merger Agreement in order to accept a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement).

The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, the form of which is filed as Exhibit G hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

(a) – (b)

Nebula Caravel Holdings is the beneficial holder of 14,457,597 shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock as of the date hereof. 472,326 of such shares of Common Stock are unvested and will vest in connection with the Merger (to the extent such shares have not, before the Merger, otherwise vested upon achievement of certain trading price thresholds pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement).

The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 180,436,843 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 27, 2023, as set forth in the Merger Agreement.

(c) Except as set forth in Item 3 to this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transaction in the Issuer’s Common Stock during the past 60 days.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

The information set forth or incorporated in Item 4 is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
