Item 2. Identity and Background

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

The information set forth in amended and restated Annex A hereto is incorporated by reference in this amended Item 2.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a) – (c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a) – (b) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 72,305,229 shares of the Issuer’s Class C Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 10.2% of the total outstanding common stock of the Issuer, based on 710,455,138 shares of common stock outstanding in the aggregate as of May 1, 2024 as set forth in the Issuer’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed on May 17, 2024.

Subject to the terms of the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, each holder of record of: (1) Class A Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share of Class A Common Stock; (2) Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share of Class B Common Stock; (3) Class C Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Class C Common Stock; and (4) Class D Common Stock is not entitled to any vote on any matter except to the extent required by provisions of Delaware law (in which case such holder is entitled to one vote per share of

 

14


Class D Common Stock), in the case of each of (1) through (4), which is outstanding in such holder’s name on the books of the Issuer and which is entitled to vote. The board of directors of the Issuer has a class consisting of the Group I Directors and a class consisting of the Group IV Directors (each as defined in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, as amended). The holders of shares of all series of common stock outstanding will vote as one class

with respect to the election of all Group I Directors and the holders of Class C Common Stock will vote separately as a series with respect to the election of the Group IV Director. Exce pt as may otherwise be provided in the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation, as amended, or as may otherwise be required by Delaware law, with respect to all other matters to be voted on by stockholders of the Issuer, the holders of shares of all series of common stock outstanding will vote as one class. As a result of the above, the 72,305,229 shares of Class C Common Stock beneficially owned in the aggregate by the Reporting Persons is entitled to approximately 16.7% of the combined voting power of the common stock of the Issuer, based on 710,455,138 shares of common stock outstanding in the aggregate, including 306,430,235 shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding as set forth in the Issuer’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, filed on May 17, 2024, plus the additional 3,757,376 shares of Class C Common Stock issued upon the conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock on June 3, 2024 and June 4, 2024 in connection with the sales and distributions described above and as described further in Annex B attached hereto.

The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 72,305,229 shares of the Issuer’s Class C Common Stock, based on 105,101 shares of Class C Common Stock held by SLG, 103,190 shares of Class C Common Stock held by SLTA GP, 3,595 shares of Class C Common Stock held by SLTA IV and 60,975 shares of Class C Common Stock held by SLTA V, which were, in part, acquired in connection with the distribution described above, and an aggregate of 72,005,186 shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons, which are convertible into shares of Class C Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time at the holder’s election, representing approximately 18.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Issuer’s Class C Common Stock calculated on the basis of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 306,430,235 shares of Class C Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of May 1, 2024, as set forth in the Issuer’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on May 17, 2024, plus the additional 3,757,376 shares of Class C Common Stock issued upon conversion of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock on June 3, 2024 and June 4, 2024 in connection with the sales and distributions described above, and assuming conversion of all outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons into shares of Class C Common Stock.

The beneficial ownership reported herein does not include 308,248 shares of Class C Common Stock disposed of by SLG after May 1, 2024, the record date for the Issuer’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and over which SLG may be deemed to have voting power through the date of the Issuer’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 27, 2024.

Information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Class C Common Stock by the individuals listed in Annex A is set forth in Annex A attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 5.

The references to and description of the Issuer’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation set forth above is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such certificate, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, 2022.

(c) Except as set forth in the Explanatory Note of this Schedule 13D and the Annexes attached hereto, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any other person listed in Annex A, have effected any transaction in Class C Common Stock in the past 60 days.
