This Amendment No. 3 to the statement on beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 3”) amends and supplements the information set forth in the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on July 15, 2022, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by the Reporting Person with the SEC on September 15, 2022, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto filed by the Reporting Person with the SEC on September 10, 2024 (collectively, the “Original Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 3 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4.

Purpose of the Transaction

Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following immediately after the first paragraph of the section titled “Secondary Offering”:

On September 11, 2024 the Underwriters exercised their option to purchase from Vertex Holdco an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The sale of the 300,000 shares pursuant to the Underwriters option closed on September 12, 2024.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(a) and (b) – The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (7) through (11), and (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 3 are incorporated herein by reference. The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 16,667,286 shares of Common Stock. This amount consists of: (i) 16,200,001 shares of Common Stock held directly by Vertex Holdco and indirectly by AIP Fund VI and Vertex Funding; (ii) 375,420 shares of Common Stock held directly by Lightship; and (iii) 91,865 shares of Common Stock over which Vertex Holdco holds an irrevocable proxy that entitles it to vote the shares with respect to certain matters (described further in Item 6 of the Original Schedule 13D, under the header “Shareholders Agreement”).
