EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 2 amends the initial Schedule 13D filed jointly by Clairvest Group, Inc. (“Clairvest”), Clairvest Equity Partners V Limited Partnership (“Blocker Seller 1”) and CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership (“Blocker Seller 2” and, together with Blocker Seller 1, “Blocker Sellers”), collectively, the “Reporting Persons,” with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 27, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on July 31, 2020, with respect to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock” or “Class A Common Stock”) of Digital Media Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Disclosure items set forth in the Schedule 13D (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) shall remain in effect, except to the extent expressly amended or superseded by this Amendment No. 2. All capitalized terms used and not expressly defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

Within 63 days after the Closing, pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement and a waiver to the Business Combination Agreement, dated September 13, 2020, by Prism and Clairvest GP Manageco Inc., the Issuer prepared and delivered to Prism Data, LLC (“Prism”) and Clairvest its determination of the Actual Adjustment Amount (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), which resulted in an amount (such amount, the “Excess Amount”) greater than the estimate that was determined for the Closing. As a result, on October 22, 2020, the Issuer issued additional shares as follows, in each case representing such Seller’s pro rata portion of an amount equal to the Excess Amount divided by an implied value of $10 per equity interest, as applicable: (i) 98,783 shares of Class A Common Stock to Blocker Sellers; (ii) 129,973 shares of Class B Common Stock to Prism; and (iii) 12,421 shares of Class B Common Stock to CEP V-A DMS AIV Limited Partnership (“Clairvest Direct Seller” and, together with each of the Blocker Sellers, the “Clairvest Funds”).

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety with the following:

 

(a) and (b)

 

All percentages of Common Stock outstanding contained herein are based on 32,293,793 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of the close of business on August 7, 2020.

 

Prism and Clairvest, as parties to the Director Nomination Agreement, may be deemed part of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. Accordingly, such group collectively may beneficially own 57.1% of the 32,293,793 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. Shares of Common Stock listed as beneficially owned by Prism exclude shares of Common Stock held by any of the other parties to the Director Nomination Agreement, as to which Prism disclaims beneficial ownership.

 

 

Clairvest may be deemed to beneficially own and share the power to vote and dispose of 18,958,914 shares of Common Stock, which represents 57.1% of the Common Stock outstanding, including: (i) an aggregate of 18,958,914 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by the Clairvest Funds, which consist of (a) 12,487,885 shares held by Blocker Seller 1 and (b) 6,368,030 shares held by Blocker Seller 2; and (ii) Seller Warrants held directly by the Clairvest Funds to purchase an aggregate of 922,177 shares of Class A Common Stock, which consist of (a) warrants to purchase 542,525 shares held by Blocker Seller 1, (b) warrants to purchase 276,653 shares held by Blocker Seller 2 and (c) warrants to purchase 102,999 shares held by Clairvest Direct Seller. The following table summarizes each Reporting Person’s beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock:

 

Reporting Person		Amount beneficially owned				Percent of class				Sole power to vote or to direct the vote				Shared power to vote or to direct the vote				Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition				Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition
Clairvest Group Inc.			18,958,914				57.1	%			0				18,958,914				0				18,958,914
Clairvest Equity Partners V Limited Partnership			12,487,885				38.0	%			0				12,487,885				0				12,487,885
CEP V Co-Investment Limited Partnership			6,368,030				19.6	%			0				6,368,030				0				6,368,030

 

(c)          Except for the transactions described in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transaction involving shares of Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 1.

 

(d)          The limited partnership interests in (i) each of Blocker Seller 1 and Clairvest Direct Seller are held by third parties that are not affiliated with Clairvest and (ii) Blocker Seller 2 is controlled by Clairvest. No person other than the Reporting Persons are known by the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and described in this Item 5.

 

(e)          Not applicable.
