This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on May 10, 2023 ( the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the Common Stock of the Issuer. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

This Amendment amends and restates the final two paragraphs of Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D as follows:

On June 9, 2023, the AlpInvest Funds, Stagwell Blocker LLC, ASP Stagecoach I, L.P., ASP Stagecoach II, L.P., ASP Stagecoach III, L.P. and the Limited Partnership entered into a Class B Redemption Agreement (the “Class B Redemption Agreement”). Pursuant to the Class B Redemption Agreement, the Limited Partnership will, through a series of steps, acquire all direct and indirect interests of the AlpInvest Funds in the Limited Partnership for total consideration of $165,000,000. There are no conditions to closing of the Class B Redemption Agreement, which is expected to occur within ten business days of the date of that agreement.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

This Amendment amends and restates Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety:

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth or incorporated in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a)(b) The Reporting Persons do not beneficially own any securities of the Issuer.

(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, without independent verification, any person named in Item 2 hereof, has effected any transaction in the shares of Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person other than the Reporting Persons has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the securities beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons identified in this Item 5.

(e) June 9, 2023.
