CUSIP No. 62878D100
The Reporting Persons hold the Common Stock for investment purposes. Depending on market conditions and other factors (including evaluation of the Issuer’s businesses and prospects, availability of funds, alternative uses of funds and general economic conditions), the Reporting Persons may from time to time acquire additional securities of the Issuer or dispose of all or a portion of their investment in the Issuer.
Except as set forth in the preceding paragraph and in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D, as of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons do not have any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions enumerated in sub items (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Schedule 13D.
Item 5 | Interest in Securities of the Issuer |
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 Items 2, 3 and 6 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.
(a) – (b) In the aggregate, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 2,479,735 shares of Common Stock, or 1.4% of the Common Stock outstanding.
By virtue of the relationship among the Reporting Persons described in Item 2, each such Reporting Person may be deemed to share with NBAA the power to vote or direct the vote and to share the power to dispose of or direct the disposition of these shares of Common Stock, directly held by such Reporting Person as set forth in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 of each of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D.
Calculations of beneficial ownership are based on 178,746,342 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer assumed to be outstanding following the Distribution as set forth in the Issuer’s Information Statement, dated July 12, 2021, circulated to stockholders of SolarWinds in connection with the Distribution and filed as Exhibit 99.3 to the Issuer’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on July 12, 2021.
Certain of the Reporting Persons, certain affiliates of Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. (“Silver Lake”) and certain affiliates and co-investors of Thoma Bravo, L.P. (“Thoma Bravo”), in each case, listed on Annex B attached hereto (collectively, the “Stockholders”) are parties to a Stockholders’ Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”), which contains, among other things, certain provisions relating to transfer of, and coordination of the voting of, securities of the Issuer by the parties thereto.
By virtue of the Stockholders’ Agreement described in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons acknowledge and agree that they are acting as a “group” with the other Stockholders within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Act”). Based in part on information provided by or on behalf of the other Stockholders, as of July 19, 2021, such a “group” would be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 122,971,296 shares of Common Stock, or 68.8% of the total number of shares outstanding. The Stockholders’ Agreement also provides that Thoma Bravo has the right to require the disposition of shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons and other Stockholders listed on Annex B hereto (other than affiliates of Silver Lake). Based in part on information provided by the Issuer, as of July 19, 2021, an aggregate of 11,406,777 shares of Common Stock were subject to such right. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership over any shares of Common Stock that they may be deemed to beneficially own solely by reason of the Stockholders’ Agreement. Certain entities affiliated with Silver Lake, certain entities affiliated with Thoma Bravo, and the Stockholders listed on Annex B attached hereto are separately making Schedule 13D filings reporting their beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to Rule 13d-4 of the Act, the Reporting Persons expressly declare that the filing of this statement shall not be construed as an admission that any such person is, for the purposes of Section 13(d) and/or Section 13(g) of the Act or otherwise, the beneficial owner of any securities covered by this statement held by any other person. The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim that they have agreed to act as a group other than as described in this Schedule 13D.
(c) Except as otherwise set forth in this Statement, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best knowledge of such persons, the persons named in Schedule A, has effected any transactions in the Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) Not applicable.
(e) Not applicable.
