The information in this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment” or this “13D/A”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D (the “Original Schedule 13D,” and, as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission by the Reporting Persons therein described on June 1, 2022, relating to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Global Business Travel Group, Inc.

Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D remains unmodified. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meaning assigned thereto in the Original Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following information:

The descriptions of the Tender and Support Agreement and Exchange Offer Side Letter (each as defined below) set forth in Item 6 are hereby incorporated into this Item 4 by reference.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding the following information:

On September 9, 2022, the Company announced the commencement of an exchange offer (the “Exchange Offer”) and consent solicitation (the “Consent Solicitation”) relating to its outstanding public warrants and private placement warrants (collectively, the “Warrants”).

The Company is offering to all holders of the Warrants the opportunity to receive 0.275 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each Warrant tendered by the holder and exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Offer. Pursuant to the Exchange Offer, the Company is offering up to an aggregate of 10,849,043 shares of its Class A Common Stock in exchange for the Warrants.

Concurrently with the Exchange Offer, the Company is soliciting consents from holders of the Warrants to amend the warrant agreement that governs all of the Warrants (the “Warrant Agreement”) to permit the Company to require that each Warrant that is outstanding upon the closing of the Exchange Offer be converted into 0.2475 shares of Class A Common Stock, which is a ratio 10% less than the exchange ratio applicable to the Exchange Offer (such amendment, the “Warrant Amendment”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, the vote or written consent of holders of at least 50% of the outstanding Public Warrants and 50% of the outstanding Private Placement Warrants are required to approve the Warrant Amendment.

In connection with the Exchange Offer, holders representing approximately 40.56% of the public warrants and 100% of the private placement warrants, including the Sponsor, entered into a tender and support agreement with the Company, dated as of September 8, 2022 (the “Tender and Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the holders have agreed to tender their Warrants in the Exchange Offer and to consent to the Warrant Amendment in the Consent Solicitation.

In connection with the Tender and Support Agreement, the Sponsor entered into an Exchange Offer Side Letter with the Company (the “Exchange Offer Side Letter”), pursuant to which the Sponsor’s obligations under the Tender and Support Agreement are subject to the Company’s satisfaction of, among other things, an undertaking that the board of directors of the Company will approve the issuance of securities to, and the sale of securities by, the Sponsor in the Exchange Offer as exempt transactions for purposes of Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The foregoing descriptions of the Tender and Support Agreement and the Exchange Offer Side Letter are not complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Tender and Support Agreement and the Exchange Offer Side Letter, which are filed as Exhibit F and Exhibit G hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
