Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed on November 15, 2021 (as amended to date, the “Schedule 13D”) by Sterling Anderson (the “Reporting Person”) relating to the Class A Common Stock of Aurora Innovation, Inc. (the “Issuer”). Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, restated or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. All references in the Schedule 13D and this Amendment shall be deemed to refer to the Schedule 13D as amended and supplemented by this Amendment.
The Reporting Person is filing this Amendment to reflect its new percentage beneficial ownership in the Issuer, which has decreased as a result of an increase in the number of shares of outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer due to the Issuer’s capital raising transactions which closed on July 21, 2023.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is hereby amended by deleting the text thereof in its entirety and substituting the following in lieu thereof:
(a) The Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of 44,784,786 shares of Class B Common Stock and 29,244 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing in the aggregate approximately 3.69% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer. Such percentage calculation is (i) based on 1,168,399,674 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of February 2, 2024 (as reported in the Form 10-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 14, 2024), and (ii) assumes the conversion of 44,784,786 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Reporting Person into 44,784,786 shares of Class A Common Stock.
Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time into one share of Class A Common Stock at the option of the holder and has no expiration date. Additionally, each share of Class B Common Stock will convert automatically into one share of Class A Common Stock upon transfer, whether or not for value (subject to certain exceptions) and upon the occurrence of certain other events set forth in the Issuer’s Certificate of Incorporation. Each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share, whereas each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share.
(b) The Reporting Person has sole voting and sole dispositive power over an aggregate of 44,784,786 shares of Class B Common Stock of the Issuer. The Reporting Person’s shares of Class B Common Stock and Class A Common Stock currently represent, collectively, approximately 9.26% of the voting power of Issuer’s outstanding capital stock.
(c) The Reporting Person has not effected any other transactions in the shares of the Issuer during the past 60 days.
(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, no person other than the Reporting Person has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of, dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the 44,784,786 shares of Class B Common Stock and the 29,244 shares of Class A Common Stock.
(e) As of July 21, 2023, the Reporting Person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock.
