    This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D is filed by the Reporting Persons as an amendment to the Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by the Reporting Persons on September 7, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto on March 4, 2022 (the “Original 13D,” and as amended by Amendment No. 2, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.002 per share, (the “Class A Shares”) of Cazoo Group Ltd (the “Issuer”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

     

    Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

     

    Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     

    On December 6, 2023, the Issuer performed a 100:1 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Split”) as part of its exchange offer, wherein the Issuer exchanged for the $630 million principal amount of Notes, (1) $200 million principal amount of the Issuer’s senior secured notes due 2027 and (2) new shares (“New Shares”) consisting of newly issued Class A Shares such that immediately following the consummation of the transactions, the holders of the Notes hold 92% of the Issuer’s outstanding Class A Shares (the “Exchange”). The Issuer also agreed to register the New Shares with the SEC for resale.

     

    In connection with closing of the Exchange, the Issuer issued warrants exercisable on a 1:1 basis for Class A Shares in three tranches upon the Issuer meeting certain financial metrics (the “New Warrants”), and Daniel Och has resigned from the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) and the Sponsor ceased to have a right to nominate a member of the Board.

     

    Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     

    Items 5(a-b) and 5(e) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

     

    (a-b)

     

    After giving effect to the Reverse Split and consummation of the Exchange, the Reporting Persons’ aggregate holdings are 168,430, which constitutes a beneficial ownership percentage of 3.4%. Such ownership calculations and those reported in boxes 13 were calculated assuming an aggregate 4,941,250 Class A Shares outstanding, based upon 4,891,002 Class A Shares outstanding as of December 7, 2023, as reported in the Issuer’s Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2023, as increased by 50,248 Class A Shares issuable in respect of (i) 39,684 New Warrants issued in connection with the Exchange and (ii) 10,564 private placement warrants.

     

    (e)

     

    As a result of the Exchange, as of December 6, 2023 the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than five percent of the Issuer’s Common Stock. The filing of this Amendment No. 2 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for the Reporting Persons.

     

    4

     

     

    Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with respect to Securities of the Issuer

     

    Investor Rights Agreement

     

    In connection with the Exchange, on December 6, 2023, certain entities affiliated with the Reporting Persons entered into an investor rights agreement with the Issuer which provides the holders party thereto with certain tag-along and preemptive rights (the “Investor Rights Agreement”).

     

    Registration Rights Agreement

     

    On December 6, 2023, the Reporting Persons entered into a registration rights agreement with the Issuer (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). The Registration Rights Agreement provides, among other things, that the Issuer’s existing resale shelf registration statement will remain outstanding for a specified period of time.

     

    Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits

     

    Exhibit 9 Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2023, by and among Cazoo Group Ltd and the holders of the Class A ordinary shares named therein (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.8 to the Issuer’s Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2023).

     

    Exhibit 10Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of December 6, 2023, by and among Cazoo Group Ltd and the holders of the Class A ordinary shares named therein (incorporated by reference to Exhibit 99.9 to the Issuer’s Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on December 7, 2023).
