Explanatory Note:

This joint statement on Schedule 13D/A (this “Statement”) is being filed by the undersigned, pursuant to Rule 13d-1(a) under the Act, with respect to 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 (this “Amendment”) supplements and amends the Schedule 13D relating to the Class A Common Stock of the Issuer that was filed with the Commission on August 21, 2023 (the “Original Schedule 13D”). This Amendment is being filed to update the number of shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons since the date of the Original Schedule 13D due to the Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock held by Volition Fund IV becoming exercisable within 60 days after this Amendment and the resulting increase of over one percent (1%) in the aggregate percentage ownership reported by the Reporting Persons in the Original Schedule 13D. Only those items that are reported are hereby amended; all other items reported in the Original Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Original Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items as applicable.
