Pursuant to the foregoing exchange procedures, GEI VI and Malted exchanged LLC Interests, on a one-for-one basis, for 724,289 shares and 54,214 shares of newly-issued A-Common, respectively. Upon such issuance of A-Common to GEI VI and Malted, the Issuer cancelled 724,289 shares and 54,214 shares of B-Common previously held by GEI VI and Malted, respectively.

The Issuer, SSE Holdings, GEI VI, GEI Side VI, Malted (GEI VI, GEI Side VI, and Malted, collectively, the “LGP Stockholders”), and certain other parties (the LGP Stockholders and such certain other parties, collectively, the “Voting Group”) are party to a Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) which contains specific rights, obligations, and agreements of such owners of A-Common and B-Common.

Under the Stockholders Agreement, the members of the Voting Group have agreed to take all necessary action, including by voting at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, so as to ensure that the composition of the Issuer’s board of directors and its committees is as required by the Stockholders Agreement. The Stockholders Agreement is discussed in further detail in Item 6, and filed as Exhibit 7.1.

The Issuer and the owners of SSE Holdings (the “Original SSE Equity Owners”) are parties to a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with respect to the Issuer’s securities. The Registration Rights Agreement provides the Original SSE Equity Owners certain registration rights with respect to securities of the Issuer. For further information, see Item 6, and the Registration Rights Agreement filed as Exhibit 7.2.

On August 13, 2015, each of GEI VI, GEI Side VI, and Malted entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters of the Secondary Public Offering (the “Underwriting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other matters, each underwriter severally and not jointly agreed to purchase (i) 742,762 shares of A-Common from GEI VI

(following the exchange of 724,289 shares of B-Common and 724,289 LLC Interests for 724,289 shares of A-Common), (ii) 442,687 shares of A-Common from GEI Side VI, and (iii) 54,214 shares of A-Common from Malted (following the exchange of 54,214 shares of B-Common and 54,214 LLC Interests for 54,214 shares of A-Common), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. For further information, see Item 6, and the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 7.8.

Each of GEI VI, GEI Side VI, and Malted has agreed, pursuant to a lock-up agreement with the underwriters of the Secondary Public Offering (the “Secondary Public Offering Lock-up Agreement”), that for 90 days following the date of the prospectus with respect to the Secondary Public Offering it will not, subject to limited exceptions and subject to extension in specified circumstances, offer, pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or, in the case of the Issuer, file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) relating to, any shares of A-Common or B-Common, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of the Issuer’s common stock. The Secondary Public Offering Lock-up Agreement is discussed in greater detail in Item 6.

Except as disclosed in this Item, none of the Investors, nor any of the other Reporting Persons, has any current plans or proposals which relate to or would result in any of the events described in clauses (a) through (j) of the instructions to Item 4 of this Amendment. The Reporting Persons, however, will take such actions with respect to the Reporting Persons’ investments in the Issuer as deemed appropriate in light of existing circumstances from time to time and reserve the right to acquire or dispose of securities of the Issuer, to enter into hedging relationships with respect to such securities, or to formulate other purposes, plans, or proposals in the future depending on market conditions and/or other factors.

ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

Under the Stockholders Agreement, for so long as the LGP Stockholders own in the aggregate at least 50% of the number of shares of A-Common and B-Common they held as of February 4, 2015 (the “Minimum Threshold”), the Issuer and the Voting Group must use reasonable best efforts to include one individual designated by the LGP Stockholders (the “LGP Designee”) in the slate of nominees for election as directors. Jonathan D. Sokoloff is the current LGP Designee to the Issuer’s board of directors. If the LGP Stockholders’ ownership of the Issuer’s securities falls below the Minimum Threshold, the LGP Stockholders must use their reasonable best efforts to cause the LGP Designee to offer his or her resignation. The Stockholders Agreement is also discussed in Item 2, and is filed as Exhibit 7.1.

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Investors hold “demand” registration rights whereby they may require the Issuer to use reasonable efforts to register either their shares of A-Common received in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering, or received in exchange for shares of B-Common and LLC Interests redeemed by the

Issuer, for resale under the Securities Act. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Investors with piggyback registration rights. For further information, see Item 4, and the Registration Rights Agreement, filed as Exhibit 7.2.

The Issuer, SSE Holdings, and certain holders of the LLC Interests are party to a Tax Receivable Agreement (the “Tax Receivable Agreement”) that provides for the payment by the Issuer to the Continuing SSE Equity Owners of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that the Issuer actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) as a result of (i) increases in the tax basis of assets of SSE Holdings resulting from redemptions or exchanges of LLC Interests or any prior sales of LLC Interests and (ii) certain other tax benefits. For further information, see the Tax Receivable Agreement filed as Exhibit 7.4.

The SSE Holdings LLC Agreement provides holders of B-Common and LLC Interests a redemption right to have their B-Common and LLC Interests redeemed for shares of A-Common on a one-for-one basis, or cash (at the Issuer’s discretion), as set forth in the SSE Holdings LLC Agreement. For further details, please see the SSE Holdings LLC Agreement filed as Exhibit 7.5.

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, each of GEI VI, GEI Side VI, and Malted sold shares of A-Common to the underwriters party thereto, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. GEI VI, GEI Side VI, and Malted agreed, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to indemnify the underwriters and their controlling persons against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of those liabilities. For further details, please see the Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 7.8.

Pursuant to the Secondary Public Offering Lock-up Agreement, each of GEI VI, GEI Side VI, and Malted has agreed that for 90 days following the date of the prospectus with respect to the Secondary Public Offering it will not, subject to limited exceptions, take or propose to take actions to transfer to another, all or a portion of the economic consequences of ownership of A-Common, B-Common, or any securities convertible into A-Common or B-Common. The Secondary Public Offering Lock-up Agreement is also discussed in Item 4.

The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Stockholders Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Tax Receivable Agreement, the SSE Holdings LLC Agreement, and the Underwriting Agreement filed herewith as Exhibits 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, 7.4, and 7.8 respectively and incorporated herein by reference.

Other than the matters disclosed above in response to Items 4 and 5, and this Item 6, none of the Reporting Persons is party to any contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
