Introductory Note

The purpose of this Amendment No. 4 to Schedule 13D (this “Amendment No. 4”) is to report the Reporting Persons’ increase in percentage ownership of the Issuer solely as a result of Issuer repurchases of its Common Stock (as defined below) during 2008 (such repurchases, the “Repurchases”). As a result of the Repurchases, the outstanding shares of Common Stock decreased to 22,455,544 as of August 14, 2008, thereby resulting in the aggregate percentage ownership which may be deemed indirectly beneficially owned by certain Reporting Persons increasing from approximately 37.8% to approximately 40.5%. The Reporting Persons have not acquired or disposed of any shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock since the transactions previously reported on Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 19, 2006.

This Amendment No. 4 amends the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 12, 2008, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed by the Reporting Persons on June 19, 2006, Amendment No. 2 filed by the Reporting Persons on February 11, 2008 and Amendment No. 3 filed by the Reporting Persons on June 12, 2008 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D,” and together with Amendment No. 4, the “Statement”). This Amendment No. 4 is being filed on behalf of the following individuals and entities (the “Reporting Persons”): (i) Great Hill Investors, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“GHI”); (ii) Great Hill Equity Partners II Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (“GHEP II”); (iii) Great Hill Affiliate Partners II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GHAP II” ); (iv) Great Hill Equity Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GHEP III”); (v) Great Hill Partners GP II, LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (“GPII,”); (vi) Great Hill Partners GP III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“GHEPIIIGP”); (vii) GHP III, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPIII”); (viii) Stephen F. Gormley (“Gormley”); (ix) Christopher S. Gaffney (“Gaffney”); (x) Matthew T. Vettel (“Vettel”); and (xi) John G. Hayes (“Hayes”).

On June 9, 2007, Spark Networks plc, a public limited company registered in England and Wales and the Issuer’s predecessor-in-interest, was reorganized as the Issuer, and in connection with such reorganization, holders of shares in the Issuer’s predecessor-in-interest received in respect of such shares an equal amount of the Issuer’s Common Stock. Accordingly, references to “Ordinary Shares” in the Schedule 13D shall be deemed to refer to “Common Shares” to the extent appropriate. Except as set forth below or as described in the preceding sentence, there are no changes to the information set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 1. Security and Issuer

Item 1 is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

This Statement relates to the common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Spark Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 8383 Wilshire Boulevard, Suite 800, Beverly Hills, California 90211.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The first paragraph of Item 5 is amended by replacing each Reporting Person’s ownership percentage listed therein with the corresponding ownership percentage set forth in line 13 of such Reporting Person’s cover page hereto.
