Accordingly, such group collectively may beneficially own 58.1% of the 32,293,793 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding.

In addition, Mr. Marinucci has the sole power to dispose of 538,912 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the same number of Seller Warrants, which are directly held by Prism for his benefit. Prism also directly holds the remaining 538,911 shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the same number of Seller Warrants for the benefit of Mr. Borghese.

 

(c)       Except for the transactions pursuant to the agreements described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons have not engaged in any transaction during the past 60 days involving shares of Common Stock.

 

(d)       The 1,077,823 warrants held by Prism, as described above, consist of (i) 538,912 warrants held for the benefit of Mr. Marinucci and (ii) 538,911 warrants held for the benefit of Mr. Borghese.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, New DMS was organized into an umbrella partnership-C corporation (or “Up-C”) structure, in which substantially all of the assets and business of New DMS are held by DMS and continue to operate through the subsidiaries of DMS, and New DMS’s sole material assets are equity interests of DMS indirectly held by it. At the Closing, DMS and its then-current equity holders amended and restated the limited liability company agreement of DMS (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”), the Issuer, DMS, Blocker Corp, Prism, Clairvest Direct Seller and the Prism members entered into the Amended Partnership Agreement to, among other things:

 

·recapitalize DMS such that, as of immediately following the consummation of the Business Combination: (i) Clairvest Direct Seller owns 2,255,433 of the outstanding membership interests in DMS (“DMS Units”); (ii) Prism owns 23,601,637; and (iii) Blocker Corp owns 32,293,793 DMS Units; and

 

·provide Prism and Clairvest Direct Seller the right to redeem their DMS Units for cash or, at the Issuer’s option, the Issuer may acquire such DMS Units (which DMS Units are expected to be contributed to Blocker Corp) in exchange for cash or shares of Class A Common Stock, in each case subject to certain restrictions set forth therein. Upon a redemption or acquisition of such Units, an equal number of the Unit holder's non-economic, voting shares of the Issuer’s Class B Common Stock will be cancelled.

 

As of the date hereof, Prism and Clairvest Direct Seller hold DMS Units, subject to and in accordance with the Amended Partnership Agreement. The material terms of the Amended Partnership Agreement are described in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “BCA Proposal—Related Agreements—Amended Partnership Agreement” beginning on page 118, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 

 

 

 

The foregoing description of the Amended Partnership Agreement, including the description in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus referenced above, does not purport to be complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Amended Partnership Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.5 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.

All such payments to Blocker Corp and the Sellers are the Issuer’s obligation and not that of DMS. The material terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement are described in the section of the Proxy Statement/Prospectus titled “BCA Proposal—Related Agreements—Tax Receivable Agreement” beginning on page 118, which is incorporated herein by reference.
