The information contained in the Schedule 14D-9 as amended by the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement (Amendment No. 3) on Schedule 14D-9 filed by the Company with the SEC on October 15, 2024, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(2)(C) hereto, and the information contained in the Schedule TO as amended by the Tender Offer Statement (Amendment No. 4) on Schedule TO filed by Parent and Purchaser on October 15, 2024, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(A) hereto, are incorporated herein by reference, and amend, supplement and restate, as the case may be, the Transaction Statement.

Item 15 is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following:

The Offer expired as scheduled at one (1) minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on October 11, 2024. The Depositary has indicated that, as of such time, a total of 46,971,451 shares of Class A Common Stock were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer. The Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer, together with the Shares constituting Owned Company Shares, satisfy the Minimum Condition. Specifically, (i) 46,971,451 Shares were validly tendered (within the meaning of Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and not validly withdrawn, which together with the Owned Company Shares represent approximately 97.5% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding Shares, (ii) 46,015,331 Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders were validly tendered (within the meaning of Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and not validly withdrawn, which represent approximately 77.7% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by the Unaffiliated Company Stockholders, (iii) the shares of Class B Common Stock constituting Owned Company Shares represent 100% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, and (iv) 46,971,451 shares of Class A Common Stock were validly tendered (within the meaning of Section 251(h) of the DGCL) and not validly withdrawn, which, together with the shares of Class A Common Stock constituting Owned Company Shares represent approximately 84.4% of the aggregate voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case as of the Offer Acceptance Time, but excluding any Shares held in treasury by Squarespace as of the expiration of the Offer or any other Shares acquired by Squarespace prior to the expiration of the Offer (including any Shares acquired in connection with payment of the exercise price for the exercise of Squarespace Stock Options, and Tax withholding in connection with the exercise of Squarespace Stock Options or the settlement of Squarespace PSUs or Squarespace RSUs).

The number of Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer satisfies the Minimum Condition. As all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived, Parent has irrevocably accepted for payment all such Shares validly tendered into and not validly withdrawn from the Offer and will promptly pay for all such Shares in accordance with the Offer.

As a result of its acceptance of the Shares tendered in the Offer, Parent acquired a sufficient number of Shares to complete the Merger without a vote of the stockholders of Squarespace pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL. Accordingly, on October 17, 2024, Parent effected the Merger under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Squarespace, with Squarespace surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than Shares irrevocably accepted for purchase by Parent in the Offer and certain Shares specified in the Merger Agreement (including Rollover Shares and Shares as to which the holder thereof has properly and validly exercised their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL), was converted automatically into the right to receive $46.50 in cash, net to the holder of such Share in cash, without interest, but subject to any applicable withholding taxes (which is the same amount per Share paid in the Offer).

Following the Merger, all Shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and deregistered under the Exchange Act.

On October 14, 2024, Purchaser issued a press release announcing the expiration and results of the Offer. The full text of the press release is attached as Exhibit (a)(5)(K) hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The following exhibits are filed herewith:
