The information in Item 6 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated into this Item 4.

The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on an ongoing basis and, in the course of their review, may take actions (including through their affiliates) with respect to their investment or the Issuer, including communicating with the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), members of management or other security-holders of the Issuer, or other third parties from time to time, taking steps to implement a course of action, including, without limitation, engaging advisors, including legal, financial, regulatory, technical and/or industry advisors, to assist in any review, and evaluating strategic alternatives as they may become available. Such discussions and other actions may relate to, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Persons are a party, various alternative courses of action, including, without limitation, those related to an extraordinary corporate transaction (including, but not limited to a merger, reorganization or liquidation) involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; business combinations involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries; material asset purchases; the formation of joint ventures with the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or the entry into other material projects; changes in the present business, operations, strategy, future plans or prospects of the Issuer, financial or governance matters; changes to the Board (including board composition) or management of the Issuer; acting as a participant in debt financings of the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, dividend policy, business or corporate structure or governance documents of the Issuer; de-listing or de-registration of the Issuer’s securities, or any action similar to those enumerated above.

Such discussions and actions may be preliminary and exploratory in nature, and not rise to the level of a plan or proposal.

Any transaction that any of the Reporting Persons or their affiliates may pursue, subject to the terms and conditions of the documents described herein to which the Reporting Persons are a party, may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will depend on a variety of factors, including, without limitation, the price and availability of the Issuer’s securities or other financial instruments, the Reporting Persons’ or such affiliates’ trading and investment strategies, subsequent developments affecting the Issuer, the Issuer’s business and the Issuer’s prospects, other investment and business opportunities available to such Reporting Persons and their affiliates, general industry and economic conditions, the securities markets in general, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by such Reporting Persons and such affiliates.

Except as described in this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any present plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, although, subject to the agreements described herein, the Reporting Persons, at any time and from time to time, may review, reconsider and change their position and/or change their purpose and/or develop such plans and may seek to influence management or the Board with respect to the business and affairs of the Issuer and may from time to time consider pursuing or proposing such matters with advisors, the Issuer or other persons.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information provided or incorporated by reference in Items 3, 4 and 5 is hereby into this Item 6.

Investor Rights Agreement

On March 29, 2023, in connection with the entry into the Put Option, the Issuer entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the “IRA”) with the Direct Holders, and Olivier Duha, the Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Webhelp and certain other stockholders of Webhelp Parent (the “Initial Stockholders”). The IRA became effective on, and subject to, the closing of the Transaction.

Board Nomination Rights. Subject to the terms and conditions of the IRA, (x) the Reporting Persons will have the right to nominate two directors (the “GBL Directors”) to the Issuer Board of Directors (the “Board”) for so long as the Reporting Persons and Mr. Duha (collectively, the “GBL and Duha Shareholders”) own at least 70% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to them in the Transaction and (y) the Reporting Persons will have the right to nominate one director to the Board for so long as the GBL and Duha Shareholders own at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to them in the Transaction. If at any time the Reporting Persons own less than 50% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to them in the Transaction, the Reporting Persons will not have a right to nominate any directors to the Board. If the Reporting Persons have the right to nominate two directors, Mr. Duha has the right to be nominated as one of the two GBL Directors for so long as he owns at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to him in the Transaction. The initial GBL Directors appointed are Mr. Duha and Nicolas Gheysens, a Partner at GBL.

Each of the Initial Stockholders has agreed not to take certain actions without the Issuer’s prior written consent so long as they hold at least 50% of the shares originally issued to them in the Transaction, including: (i) making any proposal, public statement or offer to the Board or the Issuer’s stockholders regarding business combinations, tender offers, restructuring, liquidation, or acquisition of Issuer loans, securities, or assets, (ii) making any proposal to seek representation on the Board or otherwise seek to control or influence management, the Board or policies of the

Issuer, (iii) forming or encouraging others to form a voting group with any Issuer stockholder, other than solely among the Initial Stockholders, (iv) acquiring any additional shares of Common Stock over certain authorized additional amounts, or (v) publicly disclosing or encouraging others to disclose any arrangement or intention prohibited by the foregoing or taking action that would reasonably be expected to require the Issuer to make a public announcement regarding (i) or (ii) above. Neither the Issuer nor any material subsidiary may amend its charter or its bylaws or similar organizational documents in a manner that disproportionately adversely affects the rights of the Initial Stockholders or which is knowingly in violation of the rights of any Initial Stockholder pursuant to the IRA, in each case so long as such Initial Stockholder holds at least 50% of the shares of Common Stock originally issued to it in the Transaction.

Lock-up. Subject to the terms and conditions of the IRA, the Initial Stockholders have agreed to certain customary lock-up provisions covering the shares of Common Stock issued to them at closing. In particular, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the IRA, the Initial Shareholders have agreed not to transfer any such shares for six months from closing. The Reporting Persons have further agreed not to transfer more than 25% of such shares for 12 months from closing, and not to transfer more than 50% of such shares for 18 months from closing.

Registration Rights. The Initial Stockholders have certain registration rights under the IRA, which will require the Issuer to register within 180 days of Closing Date the resale of the shares of Common Stock and Earnout Shares held by the Initial Stockholders immediately following Closing Date. Upon demand by the Initial Stockholders, the Issuer will also be required to register a sale by the Initial Stockholders of such shares with a value of at least $100 million up to two times in any rolling twelve-month period. The Initial Stockholders will also have “piggy-back” registration rights to include their shares of Common Stock in certain other registration statements filed by the Issuer.

The Issuer has agreed to waive the corporate opportunity doctrine to the extent permitted under the Delaware General Corporation Law with respect to GBL and the GBL Directors.

Capitalized terms used but not defined shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the IRA. The description of the IRA contained in this Item 6 is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to such agreement, which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
