Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on December 23, 2022 (the “Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used herein and not defined have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

 

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

 

On July 1, 2022 MVM Partners, LLC (“New Advisor”) replaced MVM Partners LLP (“Former Advisor”) as the investment advisor to the Funds. As a result, the Former Advisor’s indirect beneficial interest in the issuer was transferred to the New Advisor and the Former Advisor no longer holds any direct or indirect interest in the Issuer and disclaims any beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer as of the date of this Amendment.

 

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed on behalf of (i) the New Advisor, (ii) MVM V LP (“MVM V”), and (iii) MVM GP (No. 5) LP (“MVM GP”, collectively with MVM V, the “Funds” and collectively with the New Advisor, the Former Advisor and MVM V, the “Reporting Persons”).

 

The New Advisor provides investment advisory services to the Funds, which directly hold the shares of Common Stock reflected as being beneficially owned by the Funds herein, and in such capacity The New Advisor has voting and dispositive power over such shares. Investment decisions for the Funds are made by an investment committee at the New Advisor which consists of two individuals. No single individual member of the Investment Committee, or any other individual at the New Advisor, has the power to unilaterally make investment decisions for the New Advisor or the Funds or to direct the voting or disposition of the shares. The Former Advisor has no power to make investment decisions for the New Advisor or the Funds with respect to the shares or to direct the voting or disposition of the shares.

 

Dr. Eric Bednarski and Kyle Dempsey, both investment managers and officers at the New Advisor, are members of the board of directors of the Issuer.

 

The Reporting Persons have entered into a joint filing agreement, dated November 22, 2022, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

 

The principal business address and principal office of the Reporting Persons is Old City Hall, 45 School St., Boston, MA 02108. The principal business of the New Advisor and each Fund is making and managing growth equity-focused investments.

 

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons has been (a) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (b) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which proceeding such Reporting Person or entity or person is or was 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 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

 

 

The information contained in the cover pages of this Amendment is incorporated herein by reference. The percentages used in this Amendment are calculated based upon on a total of 83,520,471 outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 10, 2022.

 

   

 

 

 

Each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for purposes of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be deemed to share power to vote or direct the vote of (and share power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the securities of the Issuer owned by the other Reporting Persons. The filing of this Amendment shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owners of any securities of the Issuer he or it does not directly own. Each of the Reporting Persons specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein that he or it does not directly own.

 

 

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

 

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented as follows:

 

Joint Filing Agreement

 

The Reporting Persons are parties to an Amended and Restated Joint Filing Agreement with respect to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto. The Amended and Restated Joint Filing Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.
