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) 4,278,593 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 May 30, 2029 for 3,565,495 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs, and (ii) 3,677,460 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 2,536,180 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs.

Upon tender of each exchanged option in the Exchange, in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, the Reporting Person forfeited an aggregate 803,053 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.

The response to Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated by reference herein.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a)-(c) 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 10,509,628 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing approximately 12.9% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding. This amount consists of: (i) 2,600 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person; (ii) 100 shares of Class A Common Stock held directly by the Trust; (iii) 1,057,640 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by the Reporting Person, of which 786,582 are Earnout Shares; (iv) 682,322 shares of Class B Common Stock held directly by the Trust, of which 58,778 are Earnout Shares; (v) 2,653,531 shares of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of vested options issued directly to the Reporting Person; (vi) 11,760 shares of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of warrants held directly by the Reporting Person; and (vii) 6,101,675 shares of Class A Common Stock obtainable upon vesting and settlement of RSUs. This amount excludes unvested stock options to acquire 1,017,170 shares of Class B Common Stock, which vest only upon the Class A Common Stock reaching a volume-weighted average price of at least $12.78 per share for 20 trading days or being exchanged for the same value in a corporate transaction.

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) 1,739,962 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock, (iii) 2,653,531 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of vested options, (iv) 11,760 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Class B Common Stock obtainable upon exercise of warrants, and (v) 6,101,675 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable 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 523,786 additional Earnout Shares, and The Landesberg Living Trust received 2,965 additional Earnout Shares, each 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.
