CUSIP No. 868168105 SCHEDULE 13D Page 6 of 10

 

This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on May 31, 2017, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on September 1, 2017 (as amended, the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Amendment amends and restates Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

“This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly on behalf of TPG GP A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“TPG GP A”), David Bonderman, James G. Coulter and Jon Winkelried (each a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”). The business address of each Reporting Person is c/o TPG Inc., 301 Commerce Street, Suite 3300, Fort Worth, Texas 76102.

TPG GP A is the managing member of TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of TPG Group Holdings (SBS), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which holds 100% of the shares of Class B common stock (which represents a majority of the combined voting power of the common stock) of TPG Inc., a Delaware corporation (“TPG”), which is the controlling shareholder of TPG GPCo, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is the managing member of TPG Holdings I-A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of TPG Operating Group I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is the sole member of TPG Growth GenPar III Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of TPG Growth GenPar III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is the general partner of TPG Growth III Sidewall, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Growth Sidewall”), which directly holds 150,000 shares of Series A Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Issuer (the “Series A Preferred Shares”).

Because of TPG GP A’s relationship with TPG Growth Sidewall, TPG GP A may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by TPG Growth Sidewall. TPG GP A is owned by entities owned by Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter and Winkelried. Because of the relationship of Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter and Winkelried to TPG GP A, each of Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter and Winkelried may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock held by TPG Growth Sidewall. Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter and Winkelried disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by TPG Growth Sidewall except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

In connection with TPG’s initial public offering, TPG engaged in certain transactions as part of a corporate reorganization. As a result of the reorganization, TPG GP A replaced TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, Inc. as the managing member of TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, LLC and thus is replacing TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, Inc. as a Reporting Person on this Schedule 13D.

The principal business of TPG GP A is serving as the sole ultimate general partner, managing member or similar entity of related entities engaged in making or recommending investments in securities of public and private companies.

The present principal occupation of Mr. Bonderman is Non-Executive Chairman and Director of TPG and officer, director and/or manager of other affiliated entities.

The present principal occupation of Mr. Coulter is Executive Chairman and Director of TPG and officer, director and/or manager of other affiliated entities.

The present principal occupation of Mr. Winkelried is Chief Executive Officer and Director of TPG and officer, director and/or manager of other affiliated entities.

The name, residence or business address and present principal occupation or employment of each director, executive officer and controlling person of TPG GP A are listed on Schedule I hereto.

 

 

 

CUSIP No. 868168105 SCHEDULE 13D Page 7 of 10

 

Each of Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter, Winkelried and the individuals referred to on Schedule I hereto is a United States citizen.

The agreement among the Reporting Persons relating to the joint filing of this Schedule 13D is attached as Exhibit 1 hereto.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any of the persons listed on Schedule I hereto (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

This Amendment amends and restates the second paragraph of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

“(a)-(b) The following sentence is based on 31,489,403.26 shares of Common Stock outstanding, which includes (i) the 26,163,077 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of October 28, 2021, as set forth in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Commission on November 3, 2021, and (ii) the 5,326,326.26 shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the 150,000 Series A Preferred Shares reported herein. Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Act, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 5,326,326.26 shares of Common Stock, which constitutes approximately 16.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.”

Item 7. Material to Be Filed as Exhibits.

This Amendment amends and restates Item 1 listed in Item 7 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

“1.Agreement of Joint Filing by TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, Inc., TPG GP A, LLC, TPG Advisors VII, Inc., TPG Advisors VI, Inc., TPG Advisors VI-AIV, Inc., TPG Asia Advisors VI, Inc., David Bonderman, James G.
