This Amendment No. 2 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 2”) relates to the Ordinary Shares, par value €0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Cimpress plc a limited liability corporation organized under the laws of the Ireland (the “Issuer”), and amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 10, 2017 as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto (the “Schedule 13D”).

Item 5 of the Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

  (a) The information set forth in the facing pages to this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein. Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 2,092,558 Shares representing approximately 7.95% of the outstanding Shares. Percentages of the outstanding Shares are based upon the 26,636,591 Shares outstanding as of January 29, 2024, as set forth in the Form 10-Q of the Issuer filed with the SEC on February 1, 2024, less the Shares reported herein as sold by certain of the Reporting Persons to the Issuer in a redemption transaction. Each Reporting Person, may be deemed to be a member of a “group” with the other Reporting Persons for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and therefore may be deemed the beneficial owner of the Shares directly owned by the other Reporting Persons. Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares except to the extent of his or its pecuniary interest therein.

Sternberg and Stein as set forth herein, all of the Shares which the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own are held directly by The Spruce Partnership. Spruce Investment and Spruce Capital are the investment advisor and general partner, respectively, to The Spruce Partnership, and may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Shares held directly by Spruce Partnership. By virtue of their positions with certain of the Reporting Persons, each of Messrs. Sternberg and Stein may be deemed to have the shared power to vote or direct the vote of (and the shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of) the Shares held directly by The Spruce Partnership. In addition, Mr. Sternberg and Mr. Stein directly own 16,849 and 16,805 Shares, respectively, and have the sole power to vote and dispose of or direct the vote or disposition of such Shares. Mr. Sternberg also holds unvested restricted stock units or performance restricted stock units representing 5,128 and 6,060 Shares, respectively, which were issued to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer and were not included in the calculations set forth herein.
     
  (c) Other than as reported herein, none of the Reporting Persons have entered into any transactions in the Shares during the past sixty (60) days.
     
  (d) No person other than the Reporting Persons is known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares.
     
  (e) Not applicable.
