Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) which amends the Schedule13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 9, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of Menlo Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. (“MSOP”), MMSOP, L.P. (“MMSOP”), Menlo Ventures XI, L.P. (“Menlo XI”), MMEF XI, L.P. (“MMEF XI,” and together with MSOP, MMSOP and Menlo XI, the “Menlo Funds”), MSOP GP, L.L.C. (“MSOP GP”), and MV Management XI, L.L.C. (“MVM XI,” and together with MSOP GP and the Menlo Funds, the “Reporting Persons”) and relates to the Class A Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), of Rover Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer” or “Rover”). This Amendment is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report the issuance of certain Earnout Shares by virtue of the achievement of the conditions for issuance, as described in the Original Schedule 13D. Accordingly, the number of securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons has increased as described in Items 4 and 5 below.
Items 4 and 5 of the Original Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented to the extent hereinafter expressly set forth and, except as amended and supplemented hereby, the Original Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction |
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraph at the end of Item 4:
Effective September 29, 2021, by virtue of the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over the 20 trading days preceding and inclusive of September 29, 2021 (representing the achievement of two of three earnout triggering events), the former stockholders of Legacy Rover received an aggregate of 17,540,964 Earnout Shares, with the Menlo Funds receiving an aggregate of 2,161,860 Earnout Shares, as follows:
| Menlo Fund | Earnout Shares | |||
| Menlo Ventures XI, L.P. | 1,404,728 | |||
| MMEF XI, L.P. | 54,628 | |||
| Menlo Special Opportunities Fund, L.P. | 691,264 | |||
| MMSOP, L.P. | 11,240 | |||
Following the achievement of these two triggering events, the Menlo Funds remain entitled to receive an aggregate of 361,686 shares of Common Stock, for no additional consideration, if the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Stock over twenty trading days within any thirty trading day period during the seven year period following the Closing Date is greater than or equal to $16.00.
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
| (a) | See responses to Item 13 on the cover pages of this filing, which are incorporated herein by reference. |
The Reporting Persons beneficially own, in the aggregate, 17,502,566 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Persons’ aggregate beneficial ownership percentage is approximately 10.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Calculations of the percentage of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned are based upon 174,737,540 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding after giving effect to the issuance of the Earnout Shares as reported to the Reporting Persons by the Issuer.
Each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock included in this Schedule 13D, other than the shares of Common Stock held of record by such Reporting Person, and the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this Schedule 13D, or a member of a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act.
| (b) | See responses to Items 7, 8, 9 and 10 on the cover pages of this filing, which are incorporated herein by reference. |
| (c) | Except as described herein, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transaction with respect to the Common Stock during the sixty days prior to the date of filing this Schedule 13D. |
| (d) | Not applicable. |
| (e) | Not applicable. |
