Introductory Statement: This Amendment No. 3 amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 10, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) and amended through the date hereof (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of IronNet, Inc. (the “Company”). This Amendment No. 2 is being filed by C5 Partners LLC (the “LLC”), C5 Investors General Partner Limited (“GP Limited”), which acts on behalf of C5 Investors LP (C5 LP”), the sole manager of the LLC, and C5 Capital USA LLC, the investment manager of C5 LP (together, the “Reporting Persons”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D.
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction. |
Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
On December 30, 2022, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“C5”) entered into a $2.0 million secured promissory note with the Company pursuant to which C5 will provide bridge financing to the Company while the parties continue to negotiate the Proposed Transaction (the “C5 Note”). The C5 Note has terms that are substantially similar to the secured promissory notes previously issued by the Company in December 2022 (the “Prior Notes”).
C5 and the Company also agreed to a mutual exclusivity period through January 31, 2023 to seek to negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Proposed Transaction. Commencement of the exclusivity period was subject to C5 providing the $2.0 million of bridge financing described above and continuation of the exclusivity period past January 9, 2023 to January 31. 2023 is subject to C5 entering into additional promissory notes providing $3.5 million of additional bridge financing by January 9, 2023. The January 31, 2023 expiration date is subject to an automatic extension of an additional seven days if C5 provides additional bridge financing sufficient to fund the Company’s operations for such seven-day period (up to a maximum additional amount of $3.5 million).
The maturity date of the notes is June 30, 2023. The promissory notes are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company, excluding the Company’s intellectual property pursuant to the terms of a security agreement entered into in conjunction with the promissory notes.
C5, the Company, and the holders of the Prior Notes intend to, within five business days of the issuance of the C5 Note, amend and restate the Prior Notes and the C5 Note to be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 5 (the “Restated Notes”) and all security agreements to be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit 6 (the “Restated Security Agreements”). The description of the C5 Note and the security agreement are qualified by reference to those exhibits. The foregoing description of the exclusivity agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Exclusivity Agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit 7 and incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Company on a continuing basis and may from time to time and at any time in the future depending on various factors, including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced in this Schedule 13D, as may be amended from time to time, the Company’s financial position and strategic direction, actions taken by the Board, price levels of the Company’s securities, other investment opportunities available to the Reporting Person, conditions in the securities market and general economic and industry conditions, take such actions with respect to the investment in the Company as they deem appropriate.
These actions may include (i) acquiring additional Common Stock and/or other equity, debt, notes, other securities, or derivative or other instruments that are based upon or relate to the value of securities of the Company(collectively, “Securities”) in the open market or otherwise; (ii) disposing of any or all of their Securities in the open market or otherwise; (iii) engaging in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to the Securities; or (iv) proposing or considering one or more of the actions described in subsections (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.
| CUSIP No. 46323Q105 | SCHEDULE 13D | Page 7 of 8 |

Percentage beneficial ownership by each Reporting Person is based upon 103,707,690 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2022, which is the total number of shares outstanding as reported in the Company’s prospectus dated November 28, 2022.
(a), (b) See the cover page of each Reporting Person.
(c) Except as set forth herein and in the Original Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or, to their knowledge, any partner, executive officer or director thereof, has engaged in any transaction in any shares of the Company’s Common Stock during the sixty days immediately preceding the date hereof.
(d) Except as disclosed in this Schedule 13D, to their knowledge, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, the proceeds from the sale of the Common Stock.
(e) Not applicable.
