EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Schedule 13D Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 29, 2021, as amended by the Schedule 13D Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC on December 28, 2022 (as amended by this Schedule 13D Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) is being filed on behalf of Osmium Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Osmium Partners”), Osmium Capital LP (“Fund I”), Osmium Capital II, LP (“Fund II”), Osmium Spartan, LP (“Fund III”), Osmium Diamond, LP (“Fund IV” and together with Fund I, Fund II and Fund III, the “Funds”) and John H. Lewis, the controlling member of Osmium Partners, LLC (together with the Funds,  the “Reporting Persons”), with respect to the American Depositary Shares (“ADS”), each representing 0.1 ordinary shares (the “Ordinary Shares”) of Spark Networks SE, a German corporation (the “Issuer”).

 

Other than as set forth below, all Items in the Schedule 13D are materially unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Schedule 13D Amendment which are not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.

 

 

(a)-(b) The information contained in lines 7 to 11 and 13 of the cover pages of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference. The percentage ownership reflected in line 13 of the cover pages is based on 2,617,397 Ordinary Shares outstanding on November 2, 2022, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2022, each Ordinary Share representing 10 ADSs, plus an aggregate of 247,500 ADSs that may be acquired pursuant to call options held by the Reporting Persons.

Each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership with respect to any ADSs other than those owned directly and of record by such Reporting Person. Osmium Partners and Mr. Lewis may be deemed to share with the Funds (and not with any third party) the power to vote or direct the vote of and to dispose or direct the disposition of the ADSs directly owned by the Funds.

(c) On December 27, 2022, the Reporting Persons sold 150,000 ADSs at a price of $0.70. On December 29, 2022, the Reporting Persons sold 200,000 ADSs at a price of $0.64.  On December 30, 2022, the Reporting Persons sold 210,501 ADSs at a price of $0.62.
