EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Schedule 13D/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on behalf of Global Partner Sponsor I LLC (the “Sponsor”) and Paul Zepf (together with the Sponsor, the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the Class A Common Stock of Purple Innovation, Inc. (the “Issuer”) on February 13, 2018 (the “Schedule 13D”), pursuant to Rule 13d-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to amend and supplement certain information set forth below in the items indicated. Only those items that are amended or supplemented are reported herein. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 1 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

 

The Reporting Persons are filing this Amendment No. 1 to report (i) the distribution of shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock by the Sponsor on a pro rata basis to its members or their permitted transferees, including to Mr. Zepf, and (ii) that the Sponsor has ceased to beneficially own more than five percent of the class of Class A Common Stock.

 

 Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented and amended to add the following:

 

On March 27, 2018, the Sponsor made a pro rata distribution (for no consideration) to its members of all of the 1,293,750 shares of Class A Common Stock and warrants to purchase 1,641,250 shares of Class A Common Stock that it owned (the “Distribution”). As a result of the Distribution, Mr. Zepf received (i) 288,556 shares of Class A Common Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase 382,015 shares of Class A Common Stock.

 

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)-(b) The Reporting Persons’ current beneficial ownership in the Issuer and the Class A Common Stock arising from such ownership is set forth on the cover pages to this Amendment No. 1 and is incorporated by reference herein. The ownership percentages appearing on such cover pages have been calculated based on a total of 9,682,855 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of March 23, 2018, as disclosed in the Registration Statement on Form S-3, as amended, filed by the Issuer with the SEC on March 23, 2018.

 

(c) Except as set forth herein and elsewhere in the Schedule 13D, there have been no other transactions in the class of securities reported on that were effected by the Reporting Persons within the past sixty days.

 

(d) Not applicable.

 

(e) As a result of the Distribution, the Sponsor ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of the class of Class A Common Stock on March 27, 2018.
