This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Starry Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive office is located at 38 Chauncy Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA 02111.

Prior to the Business Combination (as defined below), the Issuer (prior to the Business Combination, “New Starry”) was a wholly owned direct subsidiary of Starry (as defined below).

The Schedule 13D is being filed by Chaitanya Kanojia (the “Reporting Person”), a citizen of the United States. The business address of the Reporting Person is c/o Starry Group Holdings, Inc., 38 Chauncy Street, Suite 200, Boston, MA. The Reporting Person’s present principal occupation is Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Issuer.

During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been (i) convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.

Item 4 below summarizes certain provisions of the Merger Agreement (as defined below) that pertain to the securities acquired by the Reporting Person. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Business Combination (i) the Reporting Person received 9,268,335 shares of Class X common stock, par value $0.0001 per share of the Issuer (the “Class X Common Stock”) and (ii) the Reporting Person’s wife and affiliated trusts received an aggregate of 13,621,830 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Business Combination

On October 6, 2021, FirstMark Horizon Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“FirstMark”), Sirius Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned direct subsidiary of FirstMark (“Merger Sub”), Starry, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Starry”) and New Starry entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which (i) FirstMark would merge with and into New Starry (the “SPAC Merger”) with New Starry surviving the SPAC Merger as a publicly traded entity and the sole owner of Merger Sub; and (ii) at least 24 hours, but no more than 48 hours, following the closing of the SPAC Merger, Merger Sub would merge with and into Starry (the “Acquisition Merger” and, together with the SPAC Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”), with Starry surviving the Acquisition Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer. The SPAC Merger was consummated on March 28, 2022 and the Acquisition Merger was consummated on March 29, 2022.

At the consummation of the Acquisition Merger, each then-outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Starry (the “Starry Common Stock”) was canceled and automatically converted into the right to receive (i) with respect to the Reporting Person, the number of shares of Class X Common Stock and (ii) with respect to any other persons who held Starry Common Stock, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case, equal to 0.1841 shares of New Starry Common Stock for each share of Starry Common Stock. As a result of the Acquisition Merger, the Reporting Person acquired 9,268,335 shares of Class X Common Stock, the Reporting Person’s wife acquired 12,885,514 shares of Class A Common Stock, and each of the two trusts affiliated with the Reporting Person and his wife acquired 368,158 shares of Class A Common Stock.

Registration Rights Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, FirstMark, New Starry, certain equity holders of FirstMark (“FirstMark Equity holders”) and certain equity holders of Starry, including the Reporting Person (“Starry Equity holders,” and together with FirstMark Equity holders, the “Equity holders”), entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement, dated as of March 28, 2022 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to, within 30 days of the consummation of the Acquisition Merger, register for resale, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), certain shares of Class A Common Stock and other equity securities of the Issuer held by the Equity holders. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides for certain demand rights and piggyback registration rights.
