*The remainder of this cover page shall be filled out for a reporting person’s initial filing on this form with respect to the subject class of securities, and for any subsequent amendment containing information which would alter the disclosures provided in a prior cover page.

The information required in the remainder of this cover page shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section of the Act but shall be subject to all other provisions of the Act (however, see the Notes).

Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1.

*The reported securities are held in the account of The Spruce House Partnership LLC (the “Aggregator”), its sole members being The Spruce House Partnership (AI)LP (f/k/a The Spruce House Partnership LP) and The Spruce House Partnership (QP) LP (collectively, the “Funds”), each a private investment fund managed by Spruce House Investment Management LLC (the “Investment Manager”). The reported securities may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Investment Manager, the general partner of the Funds, Spruce House Capital LLC (the “General Partner”), and by Zachary Sternberg and Benjamin Stein, managing members of the Investment Manager and the General Partner (the “Managing Members”).

Each of the Funds, the Investment Manager, the General Partner and the Managing Members disclaim beneficial ownership of the reported securities held by the Aggregator, except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein. The Aggregator, the Funds, the Investment Manager, the General Partner and the Managing Members (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) affirmatively disclaim being a “group” for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

By virtue of these relationships, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares owned directly by the Fund. This report shall not be deemed an admission that the Reporting Persons are beneficial owners of the shares for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose.

The percentages herein are calculated based upon a (i) statement in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 1, 2023 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, that there were 92,255,917 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 25, 2023, plus (ii) a note that is convertible into 529,727 shares of Class A Common Stock and exercisable within 60 days.

If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the reporting person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following ☒.

If any other person is known to have the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities, a statement to that effect should be included in response to this item and, if such interest relates to more than 5 percent of the class, such person should be identified. A listing of the shareholders of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or the beneficiaries of employee benefit plan, pension fund or endowment fund is not required.

N/A

If a parent holding company or control person has filed this schedule, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(G), so indicate under Item 3(g) and attach an exhibit stating the identity and the Item 3 classification of the relevant subsidiary. If a parent holding company or control person has filed this schedule pursuant to Rule 13d-1(c) or Rule 13d-1(d), attach an exhibit stating the identification of the relevant subsidiary.

N/A

If a group has filed this schedule pursuant to §240.13d-1(b)(1)(ii)(J), so indicate under Item 3(j) and attach an exhibit stating the identity and Item 3 classification of each member of the group.

N/A

Notice of dissolution of a group may be furnished as an exhibit stating the date of the dissolution and that all further filings with respect to transactions in the security reported on will be filed, if required, by members of the group, in their individual capacity. See Item 5.

N/A

By signing below I certify that, to the best of my knowledge and belief, the securities referred to above were not acquired and are not held for the purpose of or with the effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer of the securities and were not acquired and are not held in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having that purpose or effect, other than activities solely in connection with a nomination under § 240.14a-11.

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.

The original statement shall be signed by each person on whose behalf the statement is filed or his authorized representative. If the statement is signed on behalf of a person by his authorized representative other than an executive officer or general partner of the filing person, evidence of the representative’s authority to sign on behalf of such person shall be filed with the statement, provided, however, that a power of attorney for this purpose which is already on file with the Commission may be incorporated by reference. The name and any title of each person who signs the statement shall be typed or printed beneath his signature.

Note. Schedules filed in paper format shall include a signed original and five copies of the schedule, including all exhibits. See § 240.13d-7 for other parties for whom copies are to be sent.
