    Explanatory Note

    Pursuant to Rule 13d-2 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the SEC by President Donald J. Trump (the “Reporting Person”) on April 1, 2024 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) regarding the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). Except as specifically amended by this Amendment, items in the Original Schedule 13D are unchanged.

    Item 1.
    Security and Issuer

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

    This statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to the  shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. a Delaware corporation.

    The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 401 N. Cattlemen Rd., Ste. 200, Sarasota, Florida 342324.

    Item 2.
    Identity and Background

    Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

    This Schedule 13D is filed by the Reporting Person.

    The Reporting Person is an individual and citizen of the United States of America. The principal address of the Reporting Person is 1100 S. Ocean Blvd. Palm Beach, FL 33480.

    During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been: (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

    Item 3.
    Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

    Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

    All of the securities reported herein as beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were acquired pursuant to the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 20, 2021 (as amended by the First Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated May 11, 2022, the Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated August 9, 2023, the Third Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 29, 2023, and as it may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Digital World Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Digital World”), DWAC Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of DWAC, and Trump Media & Technology Group Corp., a Delaware corporation (“TMTG”). On March 25, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into TMTG, with TMTG being the surviving company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital World (the “Merger,” and together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Business Combination”). Upon the consummation of the Business Combination (the “Effective Time”), Digital World changed its name to “Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.” (“Public TMTG”).

    Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (a) all of the issued and outstanding TMTG common stock of TMTG immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than those properly exercising any applicable appraisal rights under Delaware law or any shares of TMTG common stock issued upon the conversion of TMTG Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement) were automatically cancelled, in exchange for the right to receive their pro rata portion of the Merger Consideration and the Earnout Shares, if any, (b) all of the outstanding TMTG common stock that was issued upon the conversion of TMTG Convertible Notes immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement was automatically cancelled, in exchange for shares of Common Stock, upon the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement, (c) each outstanding option to acquire shares of TMTG common stock (whether vested or unvested) was assumed by the Issuer and automatically converted into an option to acquire shares of Common Stock, with its price and number of shares equitably adjusted based on the conversion ratio of the shares of TMTG common stock into the Merger Consideration, and (d) each outstanding restricted stock unit of TMTG was converted into a restricted stock unit relating to shares of Common Stock.

    As a result of the Business Combination, the Reporting Person received 78,750,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.


    CUSIP No. 25400Q105
    13D
    Page 4 of 6
    In connection with the Business Combination, the Reporting Person was eligible to receive 36,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (the “Earnout Shares”) pursuant to an “earnout” provision in the Merger Agreement based on the price per performance of the Common Stock of the Issuer during the three (3) year period following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”). The Earnout Shares shall be earned and payable during the Earnout Period as follows:

    •
    In the event that the dollar volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $12.50 per share for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) trading days during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the 18-month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Reporting Person will be entitled to receive an additional 13,500,000 Earnout Shares (“Performance Criterion I”).

    •
    In the event that the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $15.00 per share for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) trading days during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Reporting Person will be entitled to receive an additional 13,500,000 Earnout Shares (“Performance Criterion II”).

    •
    In the event that the VWAP of the Common Stock equals or exceeds $17.50 per share for twenty (20) out of any thirty (30) trading days during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Reporting Person will be entitled to receive an additional 9,000,000 Earnout Shares (“Performance Criterion III,” and together with Performance Criterion I and Performance Criterion II, the “Performance Criteria”)).

    On April 26, 2024, in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Issuer officially determined that the Performance Criteria had been satisfied, and the Reporting Person was subsequently issued the Earnout Shares.

    The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is attached as an exhibit to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

    The information in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.

These discussions may also include a review of options for enhancing stockholder value through, among other things, various strategic alternatives (including acquisitions and divestitures) or operational or management initiatives.

    The Reporting Person holds the securities of the Issuer for general investment purposes. The Reporting Person intends to review his investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and may take from time to time and at any time in the future, depending on various factors (including, without limitation, the outcome of any discussions referenced above), such actions as he deems appropriate in respect thereof, including proposing or considering, or changing their intention with respect to, one or more of the actions described above or otherwise referred to in subparagraphs (a) though (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person may also take steps to explore and prepare for various plans and actions, and propose transactions, regarding the foregoing matters, before forming an intention to engage in such plans or actions or proceed with such transactions. The Reporting Person reserves the right, based on all relevant factors and subject to applicable law and contractual and other restrictions, at any time and from time to time, to acquire additional shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer, dispose of some or all of the shares of Common Stock or other securities of the Issuer that he may own from time to time, in each case in open market or private transactions, block sales, or otherwise or pursuant to ordinary stock exchange transactions effected through one or more broker-dealers whether individually or utilizing specific pricing or other instructions.
