EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D amends and supplements the Schedule 13D originally filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC) on August 2, 2021 (as amended, the Schedule 13D), relating to the Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Class A Common Stock) of Berkshire Grey, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation (the Issuer). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meaning set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
The Merger
On March 24, 2023, the
Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), with SoftBank Group Corp. (SoftBank) and Backgammon Acquisition Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank (Merger Sub), pursuant to
which Merger Sub will merge with and into the Issuer (the Merger), with the Issuer surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SoftBank. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on the date
and at the time at which the Merger becomes effective (the Effective Time), all shares of Class A Common Stock and Class C Common Stock, par value $0.0001, of the Issuer, which shall, at the Effective Time, convert
automatically into Class A Common Stock (the Class C Common Stock, and collectively with the Class A Common Stock, the Common Stock) that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time
(other than (i) shares held by the Issuer as treasury stock or owned by Merger Sub, (ii) shares held by stockholders who have neither voted in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement nor consented thereto in writing and who properly
exercised their statutory rights of appraisal under Section 262 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and (iii) restricted shares that have not vested as of the Effective Time) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in
cash equal to $1.40, without interest, subject to applicable withholding taxes. The Merger Agreement was approved unanimously by the Issuers Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors resolved to recommend approval of the Merger Agreement
to the Issuers stockholders.
Voting and Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, KV Seed B, KV Seed B (CF) and KV V (together with certain other stockholders, the
Supporting Stockholders) entered into a voting and support agreement (the Voting Agreement) with the Issuer and SoftBank, pursuant to which the Supporting Stockholders agreed, among other things, to vote, or cause to be
voted, all of the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by each Supporting Stockholder in favor of (i) the approval of the Merger and certain other related matters and (ii) the adoption of an amendment to the certificate of
incorporation of the Issuer to increase the number of authorized shares of Class A Common Stock to 700,000,000 (the Charter Amendment Approval). In addition, pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of the Supporting Stockholders
agreed to (A) not transfer their shares prior to the closing of the Merger and (B) a customary non-solicitation, whereby each Supporting Stockholder agreed, among other things, to not solicit,
initiate, or knowingly facilitate or encourage an alternative transaction. The Voting Agreement will terminate automatically at the earlier to occur of (x) the Effective Time and (y) to the extent the Merger Agreement is validly terminated
in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof, such date and time that the Charter Amendment Approval has been adopted and approved by the Issuers stockholders.
The foregoing description of the Voting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions
of the Voting Agreement, the form of which is filed as an exhibit and is incorporated herein by reference.
