EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Reporting Persons are hereby filing this Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 7, 2021 (the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by prior amendments and this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”) to report the Reporting Persons’ changes in beneficial ownership of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of Janus International Group, Inc. (the “Issuer” or the “Company”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The information set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the text set forth below after the initial paragraph thereof.

On May 15, 2023, each of Clearlake Capital Partners IV (AIV-Jupiter), L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“CCPIV”), Clearlake Capital Partners IV (Offshore), L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“CCPIV Offshore”), Clearlake Capital Partners IV (AIV-Jupiter) USTE, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“CCPIV USTE”), Clearlake Capital Partners V, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCPV”), Clearlake Capital Partners V (Offshore), L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“CCPV Offshore”), and Clearlake Capital Partners V (USTE), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCPV USTE” and, together with CCPIV, CCPIV Offshore, CCPIV USTE, CCPV, and CCPV Offshore, the “Selling Stockholders”), the Issuer, and Jefferies LLC, as sales agent and/or principal (the “Agent”), entered into an open market sale agreement (the “Open Market Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which the Selling Stockholders intend to sell shares of Common Stock from time to time. Each of CCPIV, CCPIV Offshore and CCPIV USTE is managed by CCMIV, and each of CCPV, CCPV Offshore and CCPV USTE is managed by CCMV.  Each of CCMIV and CCMV is ultimately controlled by CCG, its investment adviser. Mr. Feliciano and Mr. Eghbali are Managing Partners of CCG.

Pursuant to the terms of the Open Market Sale Agreement, the Selling Stockholders may (i) sell from time to time, to or through the Agent, shares of Common Stock on the terms set forth in the Open Market Sale Agreement and (ii) enter into forward transactions (“Forwards”) with Jefferies LLC (in its capacity as a party to the Forward, the “Forward Purchaser”), in connection with which the Forward Purchaser may borrow and sell shares of Common Stock (“Forward Hedge Shares”) on the terms set forth in the Open Market Sale Agreement and separate confirmations related to each individual Forward. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Selling Stockholders may sell in the aggregate, including through Forwards, pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement is 52,124,738 shares of Common Stock.  The amount and timing of any sales, if any, may vary and will be determined based on market conditions, share price and other factors. The Selling Stockholders have agreed to pay Jefferies LLC a commission of three percent (3.0%) of the gross proceeds of shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to the Open Market Sale Agreement.

Under the terms of the Open Market Sale Agreement, shares of Common Stock may be offered and sold, including through Forwards, (i) in privately negotiated transactions, (ii) as block transactions, or (iii) by any other method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  The Selling Stockholders may exercise their right to request the entry into a Forward by delivering to the Forward Purchaser (with a copy to the Company) a notice that sets forth the proposed terms of the Forward, including but not limited to number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Forward (“Forward Share Number”) and the anticipated hedging period of the Forward (“Forward Hedge Selling Period”). Upon the Forward Purchaser’s acceptance of the notice, the Forward Purchaser agrees to use reasonable efforts to borrow (including, but not limited to, from the Selling Stockholders) shares of Common Stock up to the Forward Share Number and use commercially reasonable efforts to sell such Forward Hedge Shares for the duration of the Forward Hedge Selling Period.  On or prior to the effective date for each Forward, the Selling Stockholders shall pledge to the Forward Purchaser shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Forward, which shares the Forward Purchaser has the right to rehypothecate. Upon completion of the Forward Hedge Selling Period with respect to a Forward, the Forward Purchaser will send Selling Stockholders a pricing supplement confirming the terms of such Forward, and the Selling Stockholders will deliver to the Forward Purchaser shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Forward in exchange for a price determined at the end of the Forward Hedge Selling Period pursuant to the terms of the Forward.

The foregoing summary of the Open Market Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the Open Market Sale Agreement, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Amendment and is incorporated herein by reference.
