Item 1.

Security and Issuer

Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to Rule 13d-2(a) under the Act, with respect to the Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (the “Issuer”), whose principal executive offices are located at 1301 Sansome Street, San Francisco, California 94111.  This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 27, 2022 (together with this Amendment No. 1, the “Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

On September 26, 2022, the Issuer made an offer (the “Tender Offer”) to exchange certain eligible options for new RSUs, each one of which represents the right to receive one share of the Issuer’s Class A Common Stock, pursuant to a tender offer statement on Schedule TO filed with the SEC on September 26, 2022, and subject to approval by the Issuer’s board of directors (the “Board”).  The Tender Offer closed on October 21, 2022, and the Board approved the exchange of options for RSUs (the “Exchange”) on October 27, 2022.

In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, at the time of the Exchange, the Reporting Person exchanged (i) 588,020 shares of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon service-based vesting and exercise of stock options with a strike price of $1.92 per share and an expiration date of January 14, 2030 for 490,017 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs, and (ii) 264,608 shares of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon service-based vesting and exercise of stock options with a strike price of $3.77 per share and an expiration date of February 14, 2031 for 182,489 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs.

In connection with the Exchange, the Reporting Person also elected to convert options to acquire 766,700 shares of Class B Common Stock into options to acquire 766,700 shares of Class A Common Stock with the same service-based vesting terms and exercise prices. The Reporting Person also elected to convert RSUs representing 175,347 shares of Class B Common Stock into RSUs representing 175,347 shares of Class A Common Stock with the same service-based vesting terms.

Upon tender of each exchanged option in the Exchange, in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, the Reporting Person forfeited an aggregate 76,306 unvested shares of Class B Common Stock representing Earnout Shares that were granted in connection with the exchanged options. No additional consideration was paid by the Reporting Person in connection with the Exchange.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

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

 

The response to Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.

 

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

(a, b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 2,099,719 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 2.9% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. This amount consists of: (i) 100 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person; (ii) 484,478 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person, of which 156,741 are Earnout Shares; (iii) 766,700 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of options, (iv) 588 shares of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of warrants, and (v) 847,853 shares of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs.

The foregoing beneficial ownership percentage is based on the sum of (i) 70,758,404 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 14, 2022, as provided by the Issuer, plus (ii) 484,478 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, (iii) 766,700 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of options, (iv) 588 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of warrants, and (v) 847,853 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs, each of (ii) through (v) which have been added to the total shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding in accordance with Rule 13d-3(d)(3) under the Act.

 

(c) The response to Item 3 is incorporated by reference herein. In addition, since the filing of the original Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person received 43,041 additional Earnout Shares in connection with the redistribution of forfeited Earnout Shares, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, to other holders of Earnout Shares on a pro rata basis based upon the allocation of Earnout Shares as of the closing of the Business Combination.  Except for transactions reported herein, there have been no transactions in the Issuer’s securities by the Reporting Person in the past sixty days.

(d) This Item 5(d) is not applicable.

(e) As of the date of this Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Person has ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the Class A Common Stock.
