Item 1.

Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 21, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”), relating to the shares of Common Stock (the “Common Stock”), of AvePoint, Inc. (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 901 East Byrd Street, Suite 900, Richmond, VA 23219. 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. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 2.

Identity and Background

The second paragraph of Item 2(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

Management Company ultimately indirectly controls (i) Sixth Street Growth GenPar, L.P. (formerly known as TSSP Capital Solutions GenPar, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership, which is the managing member of (a) TCS Finance (A), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the managing member of Avatar Investment Solutions (A), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Avatar (A)”), which directly holds 7,177,368 shares of Common Stock and (b) TCS Finance 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the managing member of Avatar Investment Solutions 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Avatar 1”), which directly holds 5,622,949 shares of Common Stock and (ii) Sixth Street Opportunities GenPar IV, L.P. (formerly known as TSSP Opportunities GenPar IV, L.P.), a Delaware limited partnership, which is the managing member of Redwood IV Finance 1, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the managing member of Avatar Investment Opportunities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“AIO”), which directly holds 11,200,275 shares of Common Stock (together with the shares directly held by Avatar (A) and Avatar 1, the “Shares”). Because of Management Company’s relationship Avatar (A), Avatar 1 and AIO, Management Company may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares. Management Company is managed by its general partner, whose managing member is Alan Waxman. Each of Management Company and Mr. Waxman disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

(a, b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 24,000,592 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 12.4% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding. This amount consists of: (i) 7,177,368 shares of Common Stock held directly by Avatar (A); (ii) 5,622,949 shares of Common Stock held directly by Avatar 1; and (iii) 11,200,275 shares of Common Stock held directly by AIO. This amount excludes the 715,249 shares of Common Stock representing the Reporting Persons’ maximum Contingent Consideration, because the Reporting Persons do not have the right to acquire such shares of Common Stock at this time. The foregoing percentage is based on 192,812,936 shares of Common Stock as of June 12, 2023, as set forth in the annual report on Form 10-K filed by the Issuer on June 13, 2023.

(c) On June 13, 2023, the Reporting Persons sold an aggregate 4,500,000 shares of Common Stock at a price per share of $6.16. This amount includes 1,345,723 shares of Common Stock sold by Avatar (A);(ii) 1,054,277 shares of Common Stock sold by Avatar 1; and (iii) 2,100,000 shares of Common Stock sold by AIO. Other than as set forth herein, no transactions in the Issuer’s securities have been effected by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days.
