(a)-(b) The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each cover page of this Statement and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2 and 3 of this Statement are incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

 

The percentages used herein are calculated based on 89,530,637 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of May 9, 2024 as reflected in Section 3.7 of the Merger Agreement (as defined in Item 6 herein) filed as an exhibit to the Company's Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 13, 2024.

 

Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, by virtue of the relationships described in Item 6 and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with General Atlantic (SQRS II), L.P. (“GA SQRS II”), Anthony Casalena (the “Founder”), the Casalena Foundation and/or certain of their affiliates. However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s). Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock that are beneficially owned by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s). The Reporting Persons are only responsible for the information contained in this Statement and assume no responsibility for information contained in any other Schedule 13D filed by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s).

 

Based on the Schedule 13D filed by GA SQRS II and certain of its affiliates with the SEC on May 20, 2024, GA SQRS II and certain of its affiliates beneficially own 15,586,169 shares of Class A Common Stock. Based on an aggregate of 94,488,982 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, consisting of (i) 89,530,637 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of May 9, 2024 as reflected in Section 3.7 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) 4,958,345 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of the Company held by GA SQRS II, GA SQRS II beneficially owns approximately 16.5% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.

 

Based on the Schedule 13D filed by the Founder and the Casalena Foundation with the SEC on May 20, 2024, the Founder beneficially owns 45,872,299 shares of Class A Common Stock and the Casalena Foundation beneficially owns 4,208,674 shares of Class A Common Stock. Based on an aggregate of 132,417,047 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, consisting of (i) 89,530,637 shares of Class A Common Stock stated to be outstanding as of May 9, 2024 in Section 3.7 of the Merger Agreement and (ii) 42,886,410 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock held by the Founder, the Founder beneficially owns approximately 34.6% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.

In connection with the Company’s execution of an agreement and plan of merger, dated May 13, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), Accel Leaders 3 L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the “Accel Parties”) entered into a support agreement (the “Accel Support Agreement”) with the Company and Spaceship Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to which the Accel Parties agreed, among other things, that they will vote their shares of Class A Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the merger and against any other action, agreement or proposal which would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The Accel Support Agreement also includes certain restrictions on transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Accel Parties. In addition, (a) under the Accel Support Agreement, certain of the Accel Parties agreed to contribute to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent a portion of their holdings of Company common stock in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent (the “Accel Rollover”) and (b) in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Accel Parties, together with certain investment funds affiliated with the Accel Parties, delivered an equity commitment letter to Parent pursuant to which such parties committed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to acquire equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent in exchange for the cash amounts set forth therein (the “Accel Equity Investment”). The consummation of the Accel Rollover and the Accel Equity Investment would result in certain of the Accel Parties and their affiliated investment funds indirectly owning approximately 8.8% of the Company following the consummation of the merger and are conditioned, among other things, on the substantially contemporaneous contribution of certain shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock held by GA SQRS II and the Founder (together with the Casalena Foundation and certain related parties, the “Casalena Parties”), as applicable, to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent, in each case in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent that would result in GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties indirectly owning approximately 8.3% and 32.7% of the Company, respectively, following the consummation of the merger, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the support agreements signed by GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties. In addition, the consent of the Accel Parties is required for (i) any amendments to the respective support agreements signed by GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties (ii) entry by the Company and Parent into any side agreements with any other parties, and (iii) certain material adverse amendments to the Merger Agreement. The consent of both GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties is required for any amendments to the Accel Support Agreement, and each has rights equivalent to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the previous sentence. The information in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Accel Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Except as described above or elsewhere in this Statement or incorporated by reference in this Statement, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
