In connection with the Issuer’s IPO, the Issuer entered into an amended and restated stockholders’ agreement, dated October 6, 2021 (the “Stockholders Agreement”), with the Voting Group members and certain other stockholders of the Issuer. Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each Voting Group member was granted director nomination rights, agreed to vote all outstanding shares held by such Voting Group member in favor of each other’s nominees and agreed to certain limitations on their ability to sell or transfer any shares of Common Stock for 18 months following the IPO.

Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement:

The Reporting Persons’ nominee to the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) is Alejandro Santo Domingo.

The Stockholders Agreement also includes provisions pursuant to which the Issuer has agreed to file registration statements under the Securities Act covering resales of the shares of Common Stock held by LGP and TPG and has granted members of the Voting Group and certain other stockholders the right to piggyback on such registration statements in certain circumstances.

References to and descriptions of the Stockholders Agreement set forth above are not intended to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes and intend to review such 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 Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

Subject to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and applicable law, the Reporting Persons 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. 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 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 Issuer’s 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 listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of 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.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a) – (b)

Calculations of the percentage of beneficial ownership are based on a total of 205,051,970 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the closing of the Issuer’s 2024 offering of shares of Common Stock, as reported in the Prospectus Supplement filed by the Issuer with the Commission on August 12, 2024.

The aggregate number and percentage of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Reporting Person and, for each Reporting Person, the number of shares of Common Stock 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.

LifeCo is the direct holder of 9,002,099 shares of Common Stock that represent 4.4% of the Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Aguila Ltd. replaced LifeCo PTC Ltd. as the managing member of LifeCo on October 25, 2024 and, as LifeCo’s managing member, may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the Common Stock owned directly by LifeCo. 

None of the individuals identified on Annex A beneficially owns any Common Stock.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons (other than LifeCo to the extent of its direct holdings in the securities reported on this Schedule 13D) is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

In addition, as discussed in Item 2 above, by virtue of the agreements made pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, the Voting Group members may be deemed to be acting as a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Shares beneficially owned by the other members of the Voting Group are not the subject of this Schedule 13D and accordingly, none of the other members of the Voting Group are included as reporting persons herein.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 4 above summarizes certain provisions of the Stockholders Agreement and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Except as set forth herein, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships concerning the transfer or voting of such securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
