    The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

     

    Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     

    Item 5(a)-(b) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     

    (a)-(b) The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each cover page of this Statement and the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2 and 3 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

     

    The percentages used herein are calculated based on 90,630,649 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of June 30, 2024 as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 2, 2024.

     

    Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, by virtue of the relationships described in Item 6 and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with General Atlantic (SQRS II), L.P. (“GA SQRS II”), Anthony Casalena (the “Founder”), the Casalena Foundation and/or certain of their affiliates. However, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s). Neither the filing of this Statement nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any of the Reporting Persons beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock that are beneficially owned by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s). The Reporting Persons are only responsible for the information contained in this Statement and assume no responsibility for information contained in any other Schedule 13D filed by GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation or any other reporting person(s).

     

    Based on the Schedule 13D/A filed by GA SQRS II and certain of its affiliates with the SEC on September 11, 2024, GA SQRS II and certain of its affiliates beneficially own 15,594,808 shares of Class A Common Stock. Based on an aggregate of 95,588,994 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, consisting of (i) 90,630,649 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of June 30, 2024 as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 2, 2024 and (ii) 4,958,345 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Common Stock”), of the Company held by GA SQRS II, GA SQRS II beneficially owns approximately 16.3% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.

     

    Based on the Schedule 13D/A filed by the Founder and the Casalena Foundation with the SEC on September 11, 2024, the Founder beneficially owns 44,768,355 shares of Class A Common Stock and the Casalena Foundation beneficially owns 4,208,674 shares of Class A Common Stock. Based on an aggregate of 133,517,059 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding, consisting of (i) 90,630,649 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of June 30, 2024 as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 2, 2024 and (ii) 42,886,410 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock held by the Founder, the Founder beneficially owns approximately 33.5% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act. Based on 90,630,649 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of June 30, 2024 as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 2, 2024, the Casalena Foundation beneficially owns approximately 4.6% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

     

    Accordingly, in the aggregate, the Reporting Persons, GA SQRS II, the Founder, the Casalena Foundation and/or certain of their affiliates may be deemed to beneficially own 79,086,033 shares of Class A Common Stock, which, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act, represents approximately 57.1% of the total shares of Class A Common Stock based on (i) 90,630,649 shares of Class A Common Stock reported by the Company to be outstanding as of June 30, 2024 as reflected in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 2, 2024 and (ii) 47,844,755 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Class B Common Stock held by GA SQRS II and the Founder and/or certain of their affiliates, as calculated in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the Exchange Act.

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

     

    Item 6 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     

    The information set forth in Items 3 and 4 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated by reference in their entirety to this Item 6.

     

    The Reporting Persons entered into a Joint Filing Agreement on May 20, 2024 (the "Joint Filing Agreement"), pursuant to which they have agreed to file this Statement jointly in accordance with the provisions of Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Exchange Act. A copy of the Joint Filing Agreement was previously filed as Exhibit 1 to the original Schedule 13D filed on May 20, 2024.

     

    On September 9, 2024 the Company announced that it had agreed to amend its previously announced definitive agreement (the “Original Merger Agreement”), dated as of May 13, 2024, and entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 9, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”). In connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, Accel Leaders 3 L.P. and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the “Accel Parties”) entered into a Tender and Support Agreement (the “Accel Tender and Support Agreement”) with the Company and Spaceship Purchaser, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), pursuant to which the Accel Parties agreed, among other things, (i) to tender, or cause to be tendered, in the tender offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Tender Offer”) all of its currently held or hereafter acquired shares of common stock of the Company, other than the shares of common stock that will be contributed to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent pursuant to the Accel Rollover, as described below (the “Rollover Shares”), (ii) to vote all shares beneficially owned by the Accel Parties against any action, agreement or proposal which would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Tender Offer, the merger (together with the Tender Offer, the “Transactions”) or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (iii) to terminate the support agreement that the Accel Parties previously entered into with the Company and Parent on May 13, 2024, as amended, in connection with the prior definitive agreement (the “Prior Support Agreement”). The Accel Tender and Support Agreement also includes certain restrictions on transfer of shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Accel Parties. In addition, (a) under the Accel Tender and Support Agreement, certain of the Accel Parties agreed to contribute to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent a portion of their holdings of Company common stock in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent (the “Accel Rollover”) and (b) in connection with the execution of the Original Merger Agreement, certain of the Accel Parties, together with certain investment funds affiliated with the Accel Parties, delivered an equity commitment letter to Parent pursuant to which such parties committed, subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, to acquire equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent in exchange for the cash amounts set forth therein (as subsequently amended, the “Accel Equity Investment”). The consummation of the Accel Rollover and the Accel Equity Investment would result in certain of the Accel Parties and their affiliated investment funds indirectly owning approximately 9.0% of the Company following the consummation of the merger and are conditioned, among other things, on the substantially contemporaneous contribution of certain shares of Class A Common Stock and/or Class B Common Stock held by GA SQRS II and the Founder (together with the Casalena Foundation and certain related parties, the “Casalena Parties”), as applicable, to a direct or indirect parent company of Parent, in each case in exchange for equity interests in such direct or indirect parent company of Parent that would result in GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties indirectly owning approximately 8.4% and 33.3% of the Company, respectively, following the consummation of the Transactions, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender and support agreements signed by GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties. In addition, the consent of the Accel Parties is required for (i) any amendments to the respective tender and support agreements signed by GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties (ii) entry by the Company and Parent into any side agreements with any other parties, and (iii) certain material adverse amendments to the Tender Offer or Merger Agreement. The consent of both GA SQRS II and the Casalena Parties is required for any amendments to the Accel Tender and Support Agreement, and each has rights equivalent to clauses (ii) and (iii) of the previous sentence. The information in this paragraph is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Accel Tender and Support Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

     

    Except as described above or elsewhere in this Schedule 13D or incorporated by reference in this Schedule 13D, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between the Reporting Persons or, to the best of their knowledge, any of the persons named in Schedule A hereto and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any 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.

     

    Item 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

     

    Item 7 is hereby amended to replace previously filed Exhibit 2 with the following:

     

     2.Accel Tender and Support Agreement, dated September 9, 2024 (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 10.3 to the Company's Current Report filed on Form 8-K on September 9, 2024).
