(1)	The percentage is based on 158,569,730 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of April 30, 2022, as reported in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 12, 2022.

As discussed further below, by virtue of certain arrangements, the Reporting Person (as defined below) may be deemed to be a member of a “group” with other persons for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  The Reporting Person previously reported his beneficial ownership over securities of the Issuer (as defined below) on a Schedule 13G pursuant to Rule 13d-1(d) under the Exchange Act.  On May 17, 2022, the Reporting Person was notified by the other members of the “group” referenced above, that such “group” may have acquired additional beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock (as defined below) on December 16, 2021, which, together with all other acquisitions of beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock by such “group” members during the preceding 12 months, exceeded two percent of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Therefore, the Reporting Person is filing this Schedule 13D.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, (the “Class A Common Stock”) of FIGS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 2834 Colorado Avenue, Suite 100 Santa Monica, California 90404.

 

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

The principal business address for the Reporting Persons is 27 N. Wacker Drive #523, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Prior to the Issuer’s initial public offering (“IPO”), Tulco, LLC, of which the Reporting Person is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, held 90,075,555 shares of Issuer common stock, each share of which was reclassified into one share of Class A Common Stock immediately prior to the completion of the IPO.  An aggregate of approximately $72,199,847 was paid to acquire such securities.  This amount consisted of: (a) approximately $65,273,523 paid by Tulco, LLC using capital contributions by members of Tulco, LLC, and (b) approximately $6.926,324 paid by Thomas J. Tull using personal funds for Issuer shares of common stock, which were subsequently contributed to Tulco, LLC.

Upon the completion of the Issuer’s IPO, 6,300,000 shares of Class A Common Stock held by Tulco, LLC converted into 6,300,000 shares of the Issuer’s Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”) pursuant to the terms of an exchange agreement with the Issuer.  Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to twenty votes per share and was convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of Tulco, LLC.

using personal funds, and (y) the Tull Family Trust purchased an additional 108,335 shares of Class A Common Stock in the open market for approximately $2,244,973 using trust assets.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

The information in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

The Reporting Person holds the Issuer securities reported herein for investment purposes, subject to the following:

The Reporting Person intends to review on a continuing basis his investments in the Issuer. The Reporting Person may communicate with the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), members of management and/or other stockholders from time to time with respect to operational, strategic, financial or governance matters or otherwise work with management and the Board with a view to maximizing stockholder value.

The Reporting Person may seek to acquire additional securities of the Issuer (which may include rights or securities exercisable or convertible into securities of the Issuer) from time to time, and/or may seek to sell or otherwise dispose of some or all of the Issuer’s securities from time to time, in each case, in open market or private transactions, block sales or otherwise, including in connection with extraordinary corporate transactions, such as a tender offer, merger or consolidation that would result in the de-listing of the Class A Common Stock, or through in-kind distributions. The Reporting Person expects to continue to actively evaluate such transactions, and to take other actions intended to position the Reporting Person to opportunistically engage in one or more of such transactions in the future. Subject to the agreements described herein, any transaction that the Reporting Person may pursue may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Person, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Person.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, although, the Reporting Person, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change his position and/or change his purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management of the Issuer or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.
