As described in Item 3, certain of the shares of Class A Common Stock reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D were acquired in connection with the Business Combination and the remainder of the shares of Class A Common Stock reported as beneficially owned in this Schedule 13D relate to shares of Class A Common Stock that may be received upon redemption of an equal number of Common Units.
The Reporting Persons do not have any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon or in connection with completion of, or following, any of the actions discussed herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuers business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuers securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.
The Reporting Persons, subject to certain provisions of the law, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions or may enter into agreements relating to the pledging of such shares. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the Board, and stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Class A Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuers business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the Board.
Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters enumerated in subsections (a)(j) of Item 4 of the General Instructions for Complying with Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The information provided and incorporated by reference in Item 3 is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.
(a), (b) The aggregate number and percentage of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote, shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition are set forth on rows 7 through 11 and row 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
As reported on the cover pages hereto, the Reporting Persons may each be deemed to beneficially own 27,982,819 shares of Class A Common Stock consisting of:
(i) | 1,664,640 shares of Class A Common Stock; |
(ii) | 775,000 Earnout Shares (in the form of Class A Common Stock); |
6
(iii) | 3,270,240 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of an equal number of Common Units and the simultaneous cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock; and |
(iv) | 22,272,939 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the redemption of Common Units and an equal number of paired shares of Class B Common Stock. Following the waiver or expiration of a lock-up period, Infinite Acquisitions will have the right to cause Falcons LLC to redeem such Common Units in whole or in part, for an equal number of shares of the Class A Common Stock or cash (at the Issuers option) and the corresponding shares of Class B Common Stock will be canceled, as described in the Issuers Prospectus filed with the SEC on December 12, 2023 pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) (File No. 333-275243) (the Prospectus), and subject to limitations set forth in the A&R Operating Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below). Shares of Class B Common Stock have no economic rights and each share of Class B Common Stock entitles its holder to 1 vote per share. |
The beneficial ownership reported above represents 77.0% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Reporting Persons beneficially own approximately 47.5% of the total common stock outstanding excluding Earnout Shares held for the benefit of securityholders of the Issuer (including Infinite Acquisitions), and such ownership would be equivalent of approximately 44.9% of the total common stock outstanding including the Earnout Shares, based on a total of 136,376,600 total shares of common stock of the Issuer outstanding as of December 12, 2023, as set forth in the Prospectus, which includes a total of 77,500,000 Earnout Shares that are currently held in escrow, as described in the Issuers Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 12, 2023.
The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on an aggregate of 8,779,983 shares of Class A Common Stock and 127,596,617 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of November 27, 2023, as reflected in the Prospectus, adjusted to reflect the redemption of 2,000,000 Common Units for shares of Class A Common Stock by Infinite Acquisitions on February 9, 2024 as described in Item 3, plus the 27,542,179 shares of Class A Common Stock that may be received upon redemption of Common Units. This amount does not include the 33,266,608 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on a one-for-one basis upon redemption of Common Units and an equal number of paired shares of Class B Common Stock which are outstanding and held in escrow to be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of certain milestones set forth in the Earnout Escrow Agreement as described in Item 6 below.
The filing of this statement on Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons are, for the purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Exchange Act or any other purpose, the beneficial owner of any shares of Class A Common Stock subject to earnout conditions or which may be received upon redemption of Common Units. Pursuant to Rule 13d-4, the Reporting Persons disclaim all such beneficial ownership.
(c) None of the Reporting Persons has effected any transaction in shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days, except as otherwise disclosed in this Schedule 13D.
(d), (e) Not applicable.

Infinite Acquisitionss Obligations to the Founder Series. Beginning on or about February 14, 2024 and continuing on each February 14 on an annual basis (the Annual Transfer Date) for eight years thereafter (the Founder Redemption Period), Infinite Acquisitions, which is a series limited liability company under Delaware law, is obligated (such obligations, the Founder Series Redemption Obligation) to transfer up to an aggregate of up to 35,907,551 shares of Class A Common Stock, consisting of up to 13,441,004 shares of Class A Common Stock which may be received by Infinite Acquisitions upon redemption of an equal number of Common Units and up to an additional 22,466,547 shares of Class A Common Stock which may be received by Infinite Acquisitions upon redemption of an equal number of Common Units if such Common Units meet the criteria for release under the Earnout Escrow Agreement, in each case, to a series of Infinite Acquisitions, titled Infinite Acquisition Partners Founder Series (the Founder Series), which is a series of Infinite Acquisitions not managed by Infinite Manager. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be delivered at each payment date is to be reduced by up to 20% of the amount deliverable, subject to an implied minimum share price of $10 per share. In 2021, prior to the time it was a series limited liability company under Delaware law, Infinite Acquisitions entered into agreements with former equity owners of Infinite Acquisitions to redeem their ownership interests in return for the future obligation of Infinite Acquisitions, now an obligation of the Founder Series upon Infinite Acquisitionss conversion to a Delaware series limited liability company, to return shares of Class A Common Stock (or cash or a combination thereof, at the option of the manager of the Founder Series) to such former equity owners in installments over the Founder Redemption Period. The Founder Series Redemption Obligation provides that Infinite Acquisitions shall transfer shares of Class A Common Stock to the Founder Series on the same terms as the redemption agreements (provided such transfer shall solely be in shares, and not cash). In February 2024, Infinite Acquisitions initiated the delivery of 273,413 shares of Class A Common Stock in satisfaction of the first of the required transfers under the Founder Series Redemption Obligation.
Infinite Acquisitionss Obligations to Strategic Partners. Infinite Acquisitions has an obligation to a series of Infinite Acquisitions titled Infinite Acquisition Partners Strategic Partners Series (the SP Series), which is a series of Infinite Acquisitions not managed by Infinite Manager, and another former investor, (together, the Strategic Partners) beginning on December 31, 2023 and for a period of four years thereafter (the SP Redemption Period) to deliver and aggregate of 8,433,392 shares of Class A Common Stock over the SP Redemption Period (such obligation, the Strategic Partners Redemption Obligations). Infinite Acquisitions entered into the Strategic Partners Redemption Obligations in connection with the raising of capital for purchases in certain private placements in Falcons LLC occurring prior to the Business Combination in exchange for the agreement by Infinite Acquisitions (now primarily an obligation of SP Series following the conversion of Infinite Acquisitions to a series limited liability company and an obligation of Infinite Acquisitions with respect to a single former investor who did not invest through SP Series) to provide the shares of Class A Common Stock to such investors over the SP Redemption Period. In February 2024, Infinite Acquisitions initiated a delivery of 286,947 shares of Class A Common Stock in satisfaction of the first of the required transfers under the Strategic Partners Redemption Obligations.
Infinite Acquisitions has guaranteed the obligations of the SP Series to the extent, but only to the extent, that the SP Series does not comply with its obligation to timely deliver the shares of Class A Common Stock on the required dates during the SP Redemption Period.
Other than as described in this Schedule 13D, to the best of the Reporting Persons knowledge, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer.
