Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On March 24, 2022, the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with SoftBank Group Corp., a Japanese kabushiki kaisha ("Parent") and Backgammon Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent ("Merger Sub"), relating to, among other things, the merger of Issuer with the Merger Sub, with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent. In connection with the Merger Agreement, NEA 15 and certain other stock holders (each a “Stockholder” and together, the “Stockholders”) entered into a voting and support agreement (the “Voting Agreement”) with the Issuer and the Parent pursuant to which each Stockholder agreed, among other things, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Voting Agreement, to (i) vote their shares in favor of the approval of the Merger (ii) the adoption of an amendment to the certificate of incorporation of the Issuer to increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to 700,000,000 and (iii) certain other restrictions on its ability to take actions with respect to the Issuer and the Common Stock. Subject to certain exceptions, the Voting Agreement prohibits transfers by the Stockholders of any of their Common Stock prior to the termination of the Voting Agreement and certain other actions that would impair the ability of the Stockholders to fulfill their obligations under the Voting Agreement. The Voting Agreement will automatically terminate upon certain events, including the termination of the Merger Agreement. The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Voting Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements. The Merger Agreement and Voting Agreement are included as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 10.1 respectively, of the Issuer’s Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 24, 2023 and are incorporated herein by reference.

NEA 15 now holds a total of 38,183,023 shares of Common Stock (the “NEA 15 Shares”). As a result of the Voting Agreement, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be members of a “group” with the parties to the Voting Agreement.⁹

Subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement and depending on market conditions, its continuing evaluation of the business and prospects of the Issuer and other factors, NEA 15 and other Reporting Persons may dispose of or acquire additional shares of the Issuer. Except as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons has any present plans which relate to or would result in:

(a)

The acquisition by any person of additional securities of the Issuer, or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

(b)

An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(c)

A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

(d)

Any change in the present board of directors or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board;

(e)

Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer;

(f)

Any other material change in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure;

(g)

Changes in the Issuer’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person;

(h)

Causing a class of securities of the Issuer to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association;

(i)

A class of equity securities of the Issuer becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

(j)

Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

⁹See the Schedule 13D or 13G (or an amendment thereto to the extent any material change in the facts set forth in any Schedule 13D or 13G previously filed by any other Stockholder has occurred) filed, or that the Reporting Persons anticipate will be filed, separately by each Stockholder, which includes, or will include, information regarding the other Stockholder’s jurisdiction of organization, principal business and address of principal office.
