Item 1 Comment:
This Amendment No. 10 (this "Amendment No. 10") to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2023, as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of December 15, 2023, Amendment No. 2, dated as of December 19, 2024, Amendment No. 3, dated as of August 5, 2025, Amendment No. 4, dated as of November 4, 2025, Amendment No. 5, dated as of November 25, 2025, Amendment No. 6, dated as of January 2, 2026, Amendment No. 7, dated as of February 13, 2026, Amendment No. 8, dated as of February 27, 2026 and Amendment No. 9, dated as of March 19, 2026 (as it may be amended from time to time, collectively, the "Schedule 13D"), relating to KORE Group Holdings, Inc. (the "Issuer"). Except as set forth herein, the Schedule 13D is unmodified. All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D. Information given in response to each item shall be deemed incorporated by reference in all other items, as applicable. | ||
| Item 4. | Purpose of Transaction | |
Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
On July 17, 2026, Searchlight IV KOR exercised all of the Penny Warrants. Pursuant to the Rollover, Voting and Support Agreement that Searchlight entered into with the Company on February 26, 2026, Searchlight contributed all of the shares underlying the Penny Warrants to Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time.
On July 21, 2026, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Merger was consummated with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation ("Surviving Corporation"). At the Effective Time, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) shares held by Parent or Merger Sub, including shares contributed to Parent pursuant to certain rollover agreements that were entered into in connection with the Merger, (ii) shares held by the Issuer as treasury stock and (iii) shares held by stockholders who have properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights under Delaware law) were cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $9.25 per share, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding taxes (the "Merger Consideration"). Each share of Series A-1 Preferred Stock of the Issuer, all of which shares are held by Searchlight IV KOR, L.P. ("Searchlight"), remained outstanding after the Merger.
At the Effective Time, any shares of Common Stock that were held by the Issuer as treasury stock and not held on behalf of third parties, and any shares of Common Stock and Penny Warrants owned by Parent or Merger Sub, in each case, that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, ceased to exist, ceased to be outstanding, and were automatically cancelled without payment of any consideration therefor or any conversion thereof, and each of the 100 shares of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were, as a result of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of such shares, automatically converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.
After giving effect to the Merger, Parent holds all of the outstanding common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Parent is managed by a board of directors, which the Reporting Persons do not control and, accordingly, none of the Reporting Persons have beneficial ownership of any common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
The Common Stock was suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") prior to the opening of trading on July 21, 2026. In addition, NYSE has filed with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Act on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock from NYSE. As a result, the Common Stock will no longer be listed on NYSE. | ||
| Item 5. | Interest in Securities of the Issuer | |
| (a) | (a) As of the Effective Time, following the consummation of the Merger, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 0 shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation, which represents 0% of the outstanding common stock of the Surviving Corporation. | |
| (b) | The information set forth in Item 5(a) above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b), as applicable. | |
| (c) | The information set forth in Item 4 above is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5(c), as applicable. | |
| (e) | On July 21, 2026, as a result of the transactions described in Item 4 above, each of the Reporting Persons ceased to beneficially own any outstanding shares of Common Stock. | |
| Item 6. | Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer | |
Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to incorporate by reference the information set forth above in Item 4. | ||
