Item
1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 1 (this “Statement”)
amends and supplements the Schedule 13D, originally filed on June 9, 2023, as amended (the “Schedule 13D”). Except as set
forth herein, the Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein has the meaning ascribed
to such term in the Schedule 13D.
Item
2. Identity and Background
This Amendment amends and restates Item 2(b) - (c) of
the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:
(b) The address of the principal business and principal
office of the Reporting Person is 160 Front Street West, Suite 3200, Toronto, Ontario M5J 0G4.
(c) The Reporting Person’s principal business
is administering, investing and managing the pension funds of active and retired teachers in Ontario, Canada. The name, business address,
present principal occupation and citizenship of each director and executive officer of the Reporting Person are set forth on Schedule
A, respectively.
Item
4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended to
add the following at the end thereof:
Rule 144 Sale
On August 12, 2024, certain of the Investor Sellers sold
an aggregate of 11,245,769 shares of Common Stock in an unregistered block sale transaction pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, at a net price per share of $19.90 (the “Block Sale”). The Reporting Persons sold an aggregate
of 2,811,442 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Block Sale.
The Block Sale was consummated as part of the Reporting Persons
normal course evaluation of its investment. The Reporting Persons intend to monitor and evaluate their investment on an ongoing basis
and expect regularly to review and consider alternative ways of maximizing their return on such investment. Subject to market conditions,
valuations, regulatory approvals and any other approvals, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose
of any or all securities of the Issuer in open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
In exploring ways to maximize the return on its investment,
and as part of its ongoing investment activities, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with representatives of the Issuer and/or
with other holders of the Issuer’s securities and, from time to time, suggest or take a position regarding, or participate in, a
variety of matters relating to the Issuer, which may include, among other things, the Issuer’s operations, management, corporate
governance, capital structure or its control, strategic alternatives and direction. To facilitate its consideration of such matters, the
Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third
parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements.
The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible
courses of action, before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.
Each Reporting Person may, at any time, and from time to
time, (i) review or reconsider its position and/or change its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto and
(ii) consider or propose one or more of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of the instructions
to Schedule 13D.
Item
5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The information contained in Items 5(a) - (d) is hereby amended
and restated in its entirety.
(a) The responses to
Item 7-13 on each of the cover pages of this statement on Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.
(b) After giving effect
to closing of the Block Sale, OTPP directly holds 8,545,334 shares of Common Stock.
As a result of the Coordination
Agreement described in Item 6, the Investor Sellers may be deemed to be members of a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3)
of the Exchange Act. Such “group” would beneficially own an aggregate of 34,181,334 shares of Common Stock, representing 26.75%
shares of Common Stock outstanding as of July 26, 2024, based on information provided by the Issuer. The securities reported herein by
the Reporting Persons do not include any Common Stock beneficially owned by the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement or the Coordination
Agreement not included as Reporting Persons on this Schedule 13D (the “Other Shares” and “Other Parties,” respectively).
The Other Parties have been notified that they may need to file separate beneficial ownership reports with the SEC related to their beneficial
ownership of the Other Shares and membership in the “group” described herein. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor
any of its contents, however, shall be deemed to constitute an admission by the Reporting Persons that any of them is the beneficial owner
of any of Other Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly
disclaimed.
(c) The information set forth in Item 3 above is incorporated
by reference into this Item 5(c).
(d) Pursuant to the Coordination Agreement among OTPP,
the Reporting Persons and Other Parties, the Reporting Persons collectively sold 11,245,769 shares of Common Stock in the Block Sale for
$19.90 per share. The Reporting Persons have not otherwise transacted in the Issuer’s securities within the prior 60 days.
To the best knowledge of the Reporting
Person, no person other than the Reporting Person 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 Person identified in this Item 5.
Item
6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
The information set forth in Item 5 of this Statement is
herein incorporated to the Schedule 13D.
SIGNATURE
After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my
knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
