Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 6 amends the Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 8, 2022, Accession No. 0001805833-23-000093, as amended on each of May 5, 2022, August 17, 2022, September 8, 2022, September 27, 2022, and June 21, 2023 (collectively, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) of System1, Inc. (the “Issuer”). This amendment to the Schedule 13D constitutes Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise specified in this Amendment No. 6, all items in the Schedule 13D are unchanged. All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.
The description of the Proposed Transaction set forth and defined in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3. It is anticipated that funding for the consideration payable will be obtained through Reporting Person’s existing resources, including cash on hand, as well as committed financing on market terms.
Item 4. &#x
A0;Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth below.
On September 1, 2023, following certain informal, exploratory discussions between the Reporting Person and the Issuer, the Reporting Person delivered a non-binding indication of interest (the “Indication of Interest”) to the Issuer, in which the Reporting Person proposed a possible acquisition of Total Security Limited (f/k/a Protected.net Group Limited, the “Company”) from the Issuer (the “Proposed Transaction”). The purchase consideration will consistent of (i) $240 million of cash delivered to the Issuer at closing, (ii) the repurchase or redemption of approximately 29 million shares of Class A common stock of the Issuer currently owned by certain affiliates of the Reporting Person, and (iii) the assumption by the Reporting Person, or cancellation by the Issuer, of earnout payments owed to certain affiliates of the Reporting Person ((i)-(iii) collectively, the "Purchase Consideration"). The foregoing description of the Indication of Interest does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Indication of Interest, which is filed as Exhibit 1 hereto.
While the Reporting Person believes the Purchase Consideration represents a fair value for the Company, the ultimate terms of a transaction, including purchase price, will be determined through negotiations between the Reporting Person and the Board of Directors of the Issuer, and accordingly there can be no assurance that an agreement for a transaction will be entered into or that the terms of any such transaction will not differ materially from the terms contemplated by the Indication of Interest.
The Reporting Person may at any time, or from time to time, amend, pursue, or choose not to pursue the Potential Transaction; change the terms of the Potential Transaction contemplated by the Indication of Interest, including the price, conditions, or scope of the Potential Transaction; take any action in or out of the ordinary course of business to facilitate or increase the likelihood of consummation of the Potential Transaction; otherwise seek control or seek to influence the management and policies of the Issuer; or change their intentions with respect to any such matters.
