| (a) | This Schedule 13D is being filed by RGH, Inc. (“RGH”) and Nathaniel Morris (“Mr. Morris”, together with RGH, the “Reporting Persons”). |
Nate Morris is the CEO of RGH and has voting and dispositive control over the securities held by RGH. Accordingly, Mr. Morris may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by RGH. Each of RGH and Mr. Morris disclaim beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

The Reporting Persons have entered into a Joint Filing Agreement, dated August 23, 2022, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 7.1, pursuant to which the Reporting Persons agreed to file this Schedule 13D and any amendments thereto jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act.

ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION
The shares of Class A Common Stock reported in the Schedule 13D represent 22,917,675 shares of Class V Common Stock and Class B Units held by RGH.
In connection with the Mergers, RGH was issued 22,917,675 shares of Class V Common Stock and 22,917,675 Class B Units in consideration for its interests in Holdings LLC immediately prior to the Closing. Class B Units were issued to RGH at a deemed value of $10.00 per Class B Unit.
Shares of Class V Common Stock represent a voting interest in Rubicon, with each share of Class V Common Stock representing one vote per share (the equivalent voting rights of a share of Class A Common Stock), but do not have any economic interest in Rubicon. Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock vote together as a single class.
Class B Units are exchangeable into Class A Common Stock on a quarterly basis and in certain other unique circumstances such as a change of control pursuant to the Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Holdings LLC (the “A&R LLCA”). Upon exch ange of a Class B Unit, the corresponding share of Class V Common Stock will be automatically redeemed and cancelled. A Class B Unit is typically exchangeable for Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to limited exceptions, but Rubicon may, at its the discretion, issue cash or a mix of cash and Class A Common Stock upon the exchange of Class B Units.
Additional information regarding the foregoing is set forth in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus related to the Mergers filed with the SEC on July 6, 2022 and the Super 8-K.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
The Reporting Persons have acquired securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes. The Reporting Persons expect to evaluate on an ongoing basis the Company’s financial condition and prospects and their interest in, and intentions with respect to, the Company and their investment in the securities of the Company. This evaluation may be based on various factors, including but not limited to the Company’s business and financial condition, results of operations and prospects; general market, economic and industry conditions, the securities markets in general and those for the Company’s securities in particular, including the Class A Common Stock; the relative attractiveness of other business and investment opportunities; and other future developments. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their intentions and develop plans or proposals at any time, as they deem appropriate. The Reporting Persons may at any time and from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, acquire additional securities of the Company and/or Holdings LLC, including additional shares of Class A Common Stock, Class V Common Stock, and/or warrants to purchase Class A Common, as well as Class B Units, and dispose of all or a portion of the securities of the Company and/or Holdings LLC that the Reporting Persons now own or may hereafter acquire.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF RUBICON TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
(a) and (b)
The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Class V Common Stock set forth in the table below, representing the approximate percentage of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock (on a combined basis), as set forth in the table below as calculated pursuant Rule 13d-3 (based on 46,300,005 shares of Class A Common Stock and 114,411,906 shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding as of August 15, 2022, as reported in the Super 8-K). Each Reporting Person has shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Class V Common Stock beneficially owned thereby. No Reporting Person has sole voting or investment power with respect to any of the shares of Class V Common Stock beneficially owned thereby.
| Reporting Person | Class V Common Stock Beneficially Owned(1) | Voting Power and Implied Ownership Interest(2) |

At any time that a registration statement is effective, any one or more Holders may request to sell all or a portion of its Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering that is registered pursuant to the registration statement; provided, in each case, that Rubicon will only be obligated to effect an underwritten offering if such offering will include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the demanding Holders with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $35 million.

The Holders also have certain customary “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registrations initiated by Rubicon. Rubicon will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any registration statements pursuant to the A&R Registration Rights Agreement. The foregoing description of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the A&R Registration Rights Agreement.

Eighth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement – On the Closing Date, Holdings LLC entered into the A&R LLCA with Rubicon, RGH and certain other parties thereto which, among other things, governs the rights of its members and the terms and conditions of any unit interests issued thereby, including the terms of the Class B Units.

Holders of Class B Units will have the right, from time to time, to elect to surrender Class B Units (an “Elective Exchange”) in exchange for (a) shares of Class A Common Stock, (b) cash, or (c) a combination of cash and Class A Common Stock, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the A&R LLCA and the Policy Regarding Exchanges set forth as Annex E thereto, with the form of the consideration to be received to be determined by Holdings LLC.
