This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on September 30, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on August 23, 2023 (together, the “Original Schedule 13D”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

 

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

 

Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:

 

On September 28, 2023, Nerdy Inc.

As a result of these transactions, (i) TCV VIII (A), L.P. (“TCV VIII (A)”) received 29,472 shares of Class A Common Stock in exchange for 117,890 Company Warrants and forfeited 115,747 shares of Class A Common Stock, which constituted Earnout Equity, and (ii) TCV VIII VT Master, L.P. (“TCV Master Fund”) received 124,138 OpCo Units, together with an equivalent number of shares of Class B Common Stock, in exchange for 496,554 OpCo Warrants, and forfeited 487,526 OpCo Units, which constituted Earnout Equity.
