This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by Cannae Holdings, Inc. (“CHI”) and Cannae Holdings, LLC (“CHL”) (each individually a “Reporting Person” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) on February 7, 2022, and amended on April 21, 2022 (“Amendment No. 1”), May 23, 2022 (“Amendment No. 2”) and March 14, 2023 ("Amendment No. 3" and as amended thereafter from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”), and relates to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), of System1, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated, each defined term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.
On November 9, 2023 the Issuer filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and reported an increase in its total Class A common stock outstanding. As a result, the Reporting Persons ownership changed by more than one percent from its ownership reported in Amendment No. 3.
| Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction. | ||
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:
On September 6, 2023, CHL sold 110,000 shares of Class A common stock for $1.85 per share.
The information set forth or incorporated by reference in Item 5 of this Amendment No. 4 is incorporated by reference into this Item 4.
| Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer. | ||
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is supplemented as follows:
Information as of November 16, 2023 with respect to the Schedule A Persons is set forth on Schedule A hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
The responses of the Reporting Persons to rows (7) through (13) of the cover pages of this Amendment No. 4, as of the date of this Amendment No. 4, are incorporated herein by reference.
The calculation in this Amendment No. 4 of the percentage of Class A common stock outstanding beneficially owned by a Reporting Person or a Schedule A Person is based on 94,411,940 shares of Class A common stock outstanding as of November 2, 2023, as reported by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2023.
(a)-(b) As of the date of this Amendment No. 4, the Reporting Persons beneficially owned an aggregate of 27,012,794 shares of Class A common stock directly held by CHL, which represents approximately 28.6% of the outstanding Class A common stock.
None of the Reporting Persons beneficially own any of the 21,512,757 shares of Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (the “Class C common stock”) outstanding as of November 2, 2023 (such outstanding shares based on information provided by the Issuer in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2023). Holders of Class A common stock and Class C common stock are entitled to cast one vote per share of Class A common stock or Class C common stock on each matter submitted to the Issuer stockholders. Accordingly, the shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons had a total voting power of 23.3%.
By virtue of the Shareholders Agreement, CHL, BGPT, Michael Blend, Chuck Ursini, Nick Baker, and Just Develop It Limited, may constitute a group (the “Group”) within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. The members of the Group are each filing separate Schedules 13Ds to report the shares of Class A common stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Class A common stock that such Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Shareholders Agreement.
(c) Except as set forth in Item 4 and Schedule A to this Amendment No. 4, none of the Reporting Persons, or, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any Schedule A Persons, has engaged in any transaction in any shares of Class A common stock during the past 60 days.
