EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 4 (the “Amendment”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by certain of the Reporting Persons (as defined below) on December 18, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 1, 2019, Amendment No. 2 filed on February 26, 2020 and Amendment No. 3 filed on August 9, 2021 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”) relating to the common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Cornerstone OnDemand, Inc. (the “Issuer”).

The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On October 15, 2021, pursuant to the terms of an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Sunshine Software Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and affiliate of Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (“Parent”) and Sunshine Software Merger Sub, Inc., an indirect and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub” and such agreement, the “Merger Agreement”), (i) Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer (“Common Stock”) outstanding was converted into the right to receive $57.50 per share in cash, without interest and subject to any required tax withholding (the “Merger Consideration”). Each restricted stock unit held by directors of the Issuer were converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of the number of shares subject to such award multiplied by the Merger Consideration.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, the $218,242,000 and $75,758,000 principal amount 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes (“Convertible Notes”), held by SLA CM Chicago Holdings, L.P. and SLA Chicago Co-Invest II, L.P., respectively, were automatically converted into an amount of cash equal to the product of the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amount thereof, as adjusted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture governing the Convertible Notes, multiplied by the Merger Consideration, plus accrued and unpaid interest for payments of $319,689,611 and $110,973,349, respectively.

In connection with the closing of the Merger, Mr. Joseph Osnoss disposed of 25,293 shares of Common Stock and 5,067 restricted stock units, in each case, which had previously been awarded to Mr. Osnoss as director compensation, for the Merger Consideration and pursuant to the Merger Agreement, respectively. These securities were previously held by Mr. Osnoss for the benefit of Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C., certain of its affiliates or certain of the funds they manage.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

(a) – (b) As a result of the transactions described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons has beneficial ownership of any Common Stock.

(c) Other than as described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons or the individuals listed on Annex A to the Schedule 13D have effected any transaction in the Issuer’s Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) No one 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, any of the securities of the Issuer reported on this Schedule 13D.

(e) On October 15, 2021, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of any Common Stock.
