EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 13 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2020, as amended on June 29, 2020, July 13, 2020 (twice), July 16, 2020, July 27, 2020, July 29, 2020, August 13, 2020, August 17, 2020, September 1, 2020, October 27, 2020, January 7, 2021 and February 17, 2021, by the Reporting Persons (as amended from time to time, the "Schedule 13D") relating to their beneficial ownership in Leaf Group Ltd. (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On April 7, 2021, the Stockholder Group issued a press release (the "Press Release") regarding the proposed acquisition of the Issuer by Graham Holdings Company ("Graham") announced on April 6, 2021. As stated in the Press Release, the Stockholder Group believes that offer price of $8.50 per share of the Issuer is grossly insufficient and urges the Board to take steps to achieve a higher offering price for the benefit of all of the Issuer's stockholders prior to filing any proxy materials related to the proposed acquisition.  The Press Release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5(a) and 5(b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a)  The information set forth in rows 7 through 11 and 13 of the cover pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference.

The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each Reporting Person is based upon 35,800,651 Shares outstanding, of February 22, 2021, as reported in the Issuer's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 25, 2021.

(b) As of the date hereof, neither Mr. McConnell nor Mr. Mutch owns any shares.

ITEM 7. Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby amended to add the following exhibits:

Exhibit 99.1 The Press Release, dated April 7, 2021

After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, the undersigned certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.

STOCKHOLDER GROUP RESPONDS TO PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF THE LEAF GROUP
BY GRAHAM HOLDINGS COMPANY

Considers Offer of $8.50 per Share Grossly Insufficient

Believes a Conservative Sum of the Parts Value of the Stock is $17.43 per Share

Questions the Process That Led to the Announced Merger

NEW YORK, April 7, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- A group of stockholders of Leaf Group Ltd. ("LEAF" or the "Company")(NYSE:LEAF), comprised of VIEX Opportunities Fund, LP -Series One, Osmium Capital, LP and Oak Investment Partners XI, Limited Partnership (together with their affiliates, "we" or the "Stockholder Group"), who beneficially own approximately 25% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, today issued the following statement in response to the proposed acquisition of LEAF by Graham Holdings Company ("Graham"):

"While we are generally supportive of a sale of the Company, we are concerned that the recently announced merger of the Company into Graham for $8.50 per share does not reflect the Company's full and fair market value (the "Merger Transaction").  Specifically, we have concerns that the "shotgun style wedding" sale process for the entire Company in less than seven weeks was deeply flawed and not only crystalizes a significant conglomerate discount but also fails to compensate shareholders for a change of control premium. Based on figures reported in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and estimates supported by sell-side analysts, we believe a conservative sum of the parts valuation of LEAF's assets yields a price of $15.83 to $17.43 per share, comprising of the following elements:

 Net cash of $1.76 per share;1 

 Revenue from the Digital Marketplace segment, which grew 73% in fiscal 2020, is approximately $195 million, and at a 2x multiple, would yield $390M in a sale, or $10.89 per share;2 

 Revenue from the Digital Media business is approximately $57 million, and at a 2-3x multiple, would yield $114 to $171 million in a sale, or $3.18 to $4.78 per share;3 

 The Company has $269.7 million in net operating loss carry forwards that may substantially shield taxable income and represent significant potential value to the right acquirer, which we have valued at zero to be conservative. 

 Total value = $15.83 to $17.43 per share.

Accordingly, LEAF's proposed sale to Graham at $8.50 represents an estimated 50% discount4  to the existing haircut of 40% to 80% relative to its publicly traded peers. To starkly contrast this differential, if LEAF achieved a public peer multiple in its Digital Media and Digital Marketplace business of 5.5x and 8.8x sales, respectively, the value of the Company's combined businesses would be nearly $1.68 billion or $46.86 per share. We acknowledge that the Company operates below peer profit margins and possesses other leadership challenges which need to be discounted and accounted for. Nonetheless, we are deeply concerned with the consideration proposed in the Merger Transaction.

2 Digital Marketplace peers such as ETSY, RBL, FTCH, SFIX, and WISH average 8.8x revenue multiples.
3 Digital Media peers such as FRNWF and JCOM average 5.5x revenue multiples.
4 49% to 47% discount based on conservative high and low estimates for Digital Marketplace revenue multiple. 


We also have concerns with the process described in the Company's press release announcing the Merger Transaction.  In our view, contacting just ten additional financial and strategic buyers about their interest in acquiring Leaf Group following the receipt of a proposal from Graham to acquire the Company does not appear to be a broadly conducted sales process, particularly in light of the fact that the Board had received a nomination notice from the Stockholder Group seeking to replace three incumbent directors. 

We intend to carefully review the Company's proxy materials seeking approval of the Merger Transaction before determining how we plan to vote our shares. However, we urge the Board to proactively reengage with Graham to achieve a more equitable price for the benefit of all stockholders before filing preliminary proxy materials."
