Item 1.

Security and Issuer.

This statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relates to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of KnowBe4, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive office is located at 33 N. Garden Avenue, Clearwater, FL 33755.

The Class A Common Stock reported on the Schedule 13D, representing shares issuable upon conversion of the Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”) held by the Reporting Persons (as defined below), was previously reported on a Schedule 13G most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 8, 2022. On October 11, 2022 the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, with Oranje Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Oranje Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the “Merger”), with the Issuer surviving the Merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent. Parent and Merger Sub are affiliates of Vista Equity Partners Management, LLC (“Vista”). In connection with the Merger, on October 11, 2022, Parent and the Issuer entered into support agreements with (a) Stu Sjouwerman, founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer, and an affiliate of Mr. Sjouwerman (together, the “Founder”), (b) KKR Knowledge Investors L.P. (“KKR”) and (c) Elephant Partners I, L.P., Elephant Partners 2019 SPV-A, L.P. and Elephant Partners II, L.P. (such funds, collectively, “Elephant”). In addition, Vista entered into a support agreement with the Issuer. We refer to the support agreement to which Elephant is a party as the “Elephant Support Agreement” and the support agreements with each of the Founder, Elephant, KKR and Vista as the “Support Agreements.” Pursuant to their respective Support Agreements, the Founder and Elephant have agreed to “rollover” a portion of their existing equity in the Issuer into an ownership interest in the parent company of Parent. Pursuant to its Support Agreement, KKR has committed to “rollover” a portion of its existing equity in the Issuer into an ownership interest in the parent company of Parent in connection with a reduction of its equity contribution to Parent. By virtue of the Elephant Support Agreement and the obligations and rights thereunder, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be in a “group” with investment funds affiliated with Vista (together with the Reporting Persons, the “Investors”) for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

By virtue of the agreements made pursuant to the Elephant Support Agreement, the Investors may be deemed to be acting as a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. Shares beneficially owned by the other Investors are not the subject of this Schedule 13D and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of all securities owned by the other Investors.

During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons (i) has been convicted in any criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

In connection with the closing of the IPO, each share of common stock and preferred stock then held by the Reporting Persons was reclassified as one share of Class B Common Stock. Each share of Class B Common Stock is convertible into one share of Class A Common Stock at any time at the option of the holder.

The source of funds used for the purchases described herein were from capital contributions of the Reporting Persons and/or their respective partners or members.

 

Item 4.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Schedule 13D for investment purposes as part of their ordinary business and investing activities. The Reporting Persons intend to monitor and evaluate their investment on an ongoing basis and expect regularly to review and consider ways of maximizing their return on such investment. Subject to the terms of the Elephant Support Agreement, any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

Subject to the terms of the Elephant Support Agreement, the Reporting Persons may acquire additional securities of the Issuer in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons, including Jeremiah Daly, in his capacity as a Director of the Issuer, may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Class A Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors. To facilitate their consideration of such matters, the Reporting Persons may retain consultants and advisors and may enter into discussions with potential sources of capital and other third parties. The Reporting Persons may exchange information with any such persons pursuant to appropriate confidentiality or similar agreements. The Reporting Persons will likely take some or all of the foregoing steps at preliminary stages in their consideration of various possible courses of action before forming any intention to pursue any particular plan or direction.

The Merger may result in one or more of the transactions, events or actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, including, without limitation, an acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer and other material changes in the Issuer’s business or corporate structure.

Other than as described above, the Reporting Persons do not currently have any plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, any of the matters listed in Items 4(a)–(j) of Schedule 13D, although, depending on the factors discussed herein, the Reporting Persons may change their purpose or formulate different plans or proposals with respect thereto at any time.
