We do not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based, except as otherwise required by law.

RISK FACTOR SUMMARY

Our business involves significant risks and uncertainties that make an investment in it speculative and risky. The following is a summary list of the principal risk factors that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations. These are not the only risks and uncertainties we face, and you should carefully review and consider the full discussion of our risk factors in the section titled “Risk Factors”, together with the other information in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus we may prepare.

Risks Related to Our Business:

•

Our gross profit margins may be impacted by a variety of factors, including but not limited to variations in raw materials pricing, retail customer requirements and mix, sales velocities and required promotional support.

•

Consumers’ loyalty to our brands may change due to factors beyond our control, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operating results.

•

Demand for our products may be adversely affected by changes in consumer preferences and tastes or if we are unable to innovate or market our products effectively.

•

We must expend resources to create consumer awareness, build brand loyalty and generate interest in our products. In addition, competitors may offer significant price reductions and consumers may not find our products suitably differentiated from products of our competitors.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

Fluctuations in our results of operations from quarter to quarter because of changes in our promotional activities may impact, and may have a disproportionate effect on, our overall financial condition and results of operations.

•

Our reputation or brand image might be impacted as a result of issues or concerns relating to the quality and safety of our products, ingredients or packaging, and other environmental, social or governance matters, which in turn could negatively impact our operating results.

•

If our products become adulterated or are mislabeled, we might need to recall those items, and we may experience product liability claims and damage to our reputation.

•

Slotting fees and customer charges or charge-backs for promotion allowances, cooperative advertising, and product or packaging damages, as well as undelivered or unsold food products may have a significant impact on our operating results and may disrupt our customer relationships.

•

We operate in the highly competitive snack food industry, which may reduce our ability to sell our products to our customers or consumers if we are unable to compete effectively.

•

We face competition in our business from private label, generic or store branded products which may result in price point pressures, leading to decreased demand for our products.

•

Changes in retail distribution arrangements can result in the temporary loss of retail shelf space and disrupt sales of food products, causing our sales to fall.

•

Our direct-to-warehouse delivery network system relies on a significant number of brokers, wholesalers and logistics companies. Such reliance could affect our ability to effectively and profitably distribute and market products, maintain existing markets and expand business into other geographic markets.

•

Our direct-store-delivery network system and regional third-party distributor network relies on a significant number of independent operators and third-party distributors, and such reliance could affect our ability to effectively and profitably distribute and market products, maintain existing markets and expand business into other geographic markets.

•

A disruption in the operation of the DSD network, regional third-party distributor network or DTW system could negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

•

The evolution of e-commerce sales channels may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

•

The rapid expansion of hard discounters may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

•

Disruption to our manufacturing operations, supply chain or distribution channels could impair our ability to produce or deliver finished products and negatively impact our operating results.

•

The loss of, or a significant reduction in sales to, any key customer can adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

•

Our business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely affected by increased costs, disruption of supply or shortages of raw materials, energy, water and other supplies.

•

Pandemics, epidemics or other disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, may change or disrupt consumption and trade patterns, supply chains, and production processes, which could materially affect our operations and results of operations.

•

Our financial position may be adversely affected by an unexpected event carrying an insurance obligation for which we have inadequate coverage.

•

Changes in the legal and regulatory environment could limit our business activities, increase our operating costs, reduce demand for our products or result in litigation.

•

As a food manufacturing company, all of our products must be compliant with regulations by, among others, the FDA, the FTC, the USDA, and the Local Laws. In addition, a number of our products rely on independent certification that they are non-GMO, gluten-free, organic or Kosher. Any non-compliance with the FDA, or USDA, or the loss of any such certification could harm our business.

•

Potential liabilities and costs from litigation, claims, legal or regulatory proceedings, inquiries or investigations can have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

•

We may be unable to successfully identify and execute or integrate acquisitions.

•

The geographic concentration of our markets may adversely impact us if we are unable to effectively diversify the markets in which we participate.

•

We may not be able to attract and retain the highly skilled people we need to support our business.

xii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

A portion of our workforce is represented by unions. Failure to successfully negotiate collective bargaining agreements, or strikes or work stoppages, could cause our business to suffer.

•

We license certain trademarks to sell branded specialty products under popular household names, such as T.G.I. Friday’s®, which may require us to pay minimum annual royalty payments to the licensor.

•

We may not be successful in implementing our growth strategy, including without limitation, increasing distribution of our products, attracting new consumers to our brands, driving repeat purchase of our products, enhancing our brand recognition, and introducing new products and product extensions, in each case in a cost-effective manner, on a timely basis, or at all.

•

Impairment in the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets could have an adverse impact on our financial results.

•

Our performance may be impacted by general economic conditions or an economic downturn.

•

Our intellectual property rights are valuable, and any inability to protect them could reduce the value of our products and brands.

Risks Related to the Ownership of our Securities

•

Resales of shares of our Class A Common Stock could cause the market price of our Class A Common Stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well.

•

We are a holding company and our only material asset after the Closing of the Business Combination are our interest in UBH, and we are accordingly dependent upon distributions made by our subsidiaries to pay taxes, make payments under the TRA and pay dividends.

•

Pursuant to the TRA, we are required to pay to Continuing Members and/or the exchanging holders of Common Company Units, as applicable, 85% of the tax savings that we realized as a result of increases in tax basis in UBH’s assets as a result of the sale of Common Company Units for the cash consideration in the Business Combination, the purchase and redemption of the common units and preferred units in the Continuing Members and the future exchange of the Common Company Units for shares of Class A Common Stock (or cash) pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and certain other tax attributes of UBH and tax benefits related to entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the TRA, and those payments may be substantial. In certain cases, payments under the TRA may exceed the actual tax benefits we realize or be accelerated.

•

The NYSE may delist our Class A Common Stock from trading on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in shares of our Class A Common Stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.

•

Reports published by analysts, including projections in those reports that differ from our actual results, could adversely affect the price and trading volume of our Class A Common Stock.

•

Delaware law, the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

•

The Certificate of Incorporation designates the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.

•

Certain of our significant stockholders and Utz Brands Holdings members whose interests may differ from those of our other stockholders will have the ability to significantly influence our business and management.

•

The Certificate of Incorporation does not limit the ability of the successors to the Sponsor to compete with us.

•

Our business and operations could be negatively affected if it becomes subject to any securities litigation or shareholder activism, which could cause us to incur significant expense, hinder execution of business and growth strategy and impact our stock price.

•

We may not have sufficient funds to satisfy indemnification claims of our directors and executive officers.

•

The valuation of our Private Placement Warrants could increase the volatility in our net income (loss) in our consolidated statements of earnings (loss).

xiii

TABLE OF CONTENTS

•

The grant of registration rights to certain of our stockholders and holders of our Warrants and the future exercise of such rights may adversely affect the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

•

Our Private Placement Warrants may have an adverse effect on the market price of our Class A Common Stock.

•

We are an emerging growth company within the meaning of the Securities Act, and if we take advantage of certain exemptions from disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies, this could make our securities less attractive to investors and may make it more difficult to compare our performance with other public companies.

•

Compliance obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act require substantial financial and management resources.

•

Our Warrants are required to be accounted for as liabilities rather than as equity and such requirement resulted in a restatement of our previously issued financial statements.

•

The restatement of our financial statements in May 2021 has subjected us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased professional costs and increased possibility of legal proceedings.

We are also subject to other risks and uncertainties indicated in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus, including those set forth under the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors” or otherwise disclosed in our SEC reports, including those set forth in our Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference into this prospectus. Some of these risks and uncertainties may in the future be amplified by the COVID-19 outbreak and there may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. We caution that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and investors should not place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights certain significant aspects of our business and is a summary of information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making your investment decision. You should carefully read this entire prospectus, including the information presented under the sections titled “Risk Factors,” “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements,” and “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information,” included elsewhere in this prospectus and the information incorporated by reference, before making an investment decision. The definition of some of the terms used in this prospectus are set forth under the section “Frequently Used Terms.”

Overview

We are a leading manufacturer, marketer, and distributor of high-quality, branded snacking products in the United States. We produce a broad offering of salty snacks, including potato chips, pretzels, cheese snacks, veggie snacks, pork skins, pub/party mixes, and other snacks. As of January 3, 2021, we operate 14 manufacturing facilities with a broad range of capabilities, and our products are distributed nationally to grocery, mass, club, convenience, drug and other retailers through direct shipments, distributors, and more than 1,600 direct store delivery (“DSD”) routes. Our company was founded in 1921 in Hanover, Pennsylvania, and benefits from nearly 100 years of brand awareness and heritage in the salty snacks industry.

Business Combination with Collier Creek Holdings

On the Closing Date, we consummated the Business Combination with Utz Brands Holdings pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, we domesticated into the State of Delaware from the Cayman Islands by filing a Certificate of Domestication and Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, upon which we changed our name to “Utz Brands, Inc.” and effected the Business Combination.

At the Closing, we (i) acquired certain common and preferred interests of the Continuing Members from third party members, and the Continuing Members then redeemed such common and preferred interests for, and we received, an equivalent value of Common Company Units of UBH, (ii) contributed cash in exchange for additional Common Company Units of UBH, and (iii) purchased additional Common Company Units and 100% of the managing interests of UBH from the Continuing Members. As part of the Business Combination, the Continuing Members (a) received certain cash considerations for the Common Company Units that they sold to us, (b) received such number of shares of newly issued non-economic Class V Common Stock in the Company equal to the Common Company Units that the Continuing Members retained in UBH, and a Common Company Units of UBH and a share of Class V Common Stock are exchangeable for one share of Class A Common Stock of we, (c) were entitled to receive certain restricted Common Company Units in UBH that would be vested under certain market conditions, which vested as of the Closing, and (d) entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement that requires us to pay to the Continuing Members 85% of the applicable cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal and state income tax determined based on certain attributes as defined in the TRA. On the Closing Date, we also entered into certain other Related Agreements, including the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the Standstill Agreement and an employment offer letter with our Chief Executive Officer, Dylan Lissette.

Emerging Growth Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the JOBS Act, and we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Further, section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. We have elected not to opt out of such extended transition period, which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, we, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of our financial statements with certain other public companies difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the closing of the IPO, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our common equity that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the end of the prior fiscal year’s second fiscal quarter; and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.00 billion in non-convertible debt securities during the prior three-year period. Since the aggregate worldwide market value of our Class A Common Stock held by non-affiliates exceeded $700.0 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, we will not be an emerging growth company commencing on the last day of fiscal year 2021.

References herein to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

Corporate Information

We were incorporated under the name “Collier Creek Holdings” on April 30, 2018 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for purposes of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. On August 28, 2020, we domesticated into a Delaware corporation and changed our name to “Utz Brands, Inc.” in connection with the Domestication. Our principal executive offices are located at 900 High Street, Hanover, Pennsylvania, 17331, and our telephone number is (717) 637-6644. Our website is www.utzsnacks.com.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves risks and uncertainties. You should carefully consider the risks set forth under “Risk Factors” in any applicable prospectus, under “Risk Factor” under Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report incorporated by reference herein, and all of the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before investing in our securities. We operate in a changing environment that involves numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could materially adversely affect our operations. Any of the following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. However, the selected risks described below are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or those we currently view to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or prospects. In such a case, the trading price of our securities could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in us. In addition, much of the business information, as well as the financial and operational data contained in our risk factors, are updated by our periodic reports filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, which are also incorporated by reference into this prospectus. For more information, see “Where You Can Find More Information” and “Information Incorporated by Reference.”

We may redeem certain unexpired warrants prior to their exercise at a time that is disadvantageous to you, thereby making your warrants worthless.

None of the Private Placement Warrants are redeemable by us so long as they are held by their initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the initial purchasers thereof or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by us and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. Public Warrants are redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Warrant, provided that the closing price of our Class A Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30 trading-day period ending on the third trading day prior to proper notice of such redemption provided that on the date we give notice of redemption. If and when the Warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. Redemption of the outstanding Warrants could force holders (i) to exercise the Warrants and pay the exercise price therefor at a time when it may be disadvantageous to do so, (ii) to sell the Warrants at the then-current market price when the holder might otherwise wish to hold onto such Warrants or (iii) to accept the nominal redemption price which, at the time the outstanding Warrants are called for redemption, is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the Warrants.

In addition, we may redeem Warrants after they become exercisable for a number of shares of our Class A Common Stock determined based on the redemption date and the fair market value of our Class A Common Stock. Any such redemption may have similar consequences to a cash redemption described above. In addition, such redemption may occur at a time when the warrants are “out-of-the-money,” in which case you would lose any potential embedded value from a subsequent increase in the value of our Class A Common Stock had your Warrants remained outstanding.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

USE OF PROCEEDS

All of the securities offered by the Selling Holders pursuant to this prospectus will be sold by the Selling Holders for their respective accounts. We will not receive any of the proceeds from these sales. We will receive up to an aggregate of approximately $82,800,000 from the exercise of all Private Placement Warrants assuming the exercise in full of all such Private Placement Warrants for cash. Unless we inform you otherwise in a prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus, we intend to use the net proceeds from the exercise of such Private Placement Warrants for general corporate purposes which may include acquisitions or other strategic investments or repayment of outstanding indebtedness. See “Description of Securities — Private Placement Warrants” for a summary of the terms applicable to the Private Placement Warrants.

The Selling Holders will pay any underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses incurred by the Selling Holders for brokerage, accounting, tax or legal services or any other expenses incurred by the Selling Holders in disposing of the securities. We will bear the costs, fees and expenses incurred in effecting the registration of the securities covered by this prospectus, including all registration and filing fees, NYSE listing fees and fees and expenses of our counsel and our independent registered public accounting firm.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Introduction

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of January 3, 2021 gives effect to the Warrant Exercises, the Warrants Redemption, and the Term Loan Refinancing, each as defined below, as if they were completed on January 3, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended January 3, 2021 gives pro forma effect to all of the following, as if they were completed on December 30, 2019, the first day of fiscal year 2020:

•

the Business Combination;

•

the Truco Acquisition and the IP Purchase (collectively, with the Truco Acquisition, the “Truco Transactions”); and

•

the exercise of certain of the outstanding Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants (collectively, the “Warrant Exercises”) prior to the redemption of any Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants remaining outstanding on January 14, 2021 (the “Warrants Redemption”) and the refinancing of the Company’s existing term loans and the Bridge Credit Agreement on January 20, 2021 related to the Truco Acquisition (the “Term Loan Refinancing”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet does not purport to represent, and is not necessarily indicative of, what the actual financial condition of the combined entity resulting from the combinations of the Company, UBH, Truco and the OTB IP (collectively, the “Combined Entity”) would have been had the Warrant Exercises, the Warrants Redemption, and the Term Loan Refinancing taken place on January 3, 2021, nor are they indicative of the results of operations of the Combined Entity for any future period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet adjustments reflect only the Warrant Exercises, Warrants Redemption, and the Term Loan Refinancing, as the Business Combination and the Truco Transactions are already reflected in our historical audited consolidated balance sheet as of January 3, 2021. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not purport to represent, and is not necessarily indicative of, what the actual results of operations of the Combined Entity would have been had the Business Combination, the Truco Transactions, the Warrant Exercises, the Warrants Redemption, and the Term Loan Refinancing taken place on December 30, 2019, nor are they indicative of the results of operations of the Combined Entity for any future period. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should be read in conjunction with the following:

•

the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information;

•

the historical unaudited financial statements of CCH as of, and for the six months ended, June 30, 2020, included in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by Collier Creek with the SEC on August 10, 2020;

•

the historical unaudited financial statements of Truco Holdco Inc. as of, and for the nine months ended, September 30, 2020, incorporated by reference into this prospectus; and

•

the historical audited financial statements for the predecessor and successor reporting of Utz Brands, Inc. as of, and for the fiscal periods ended, January 3, 2021 and August 28, 2020, incorporated by reference into this prospectus.

On May 20, 2020, the SEC adopted Release No. 33-10786, Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses (the “New Rules”). The New Rules amend, among other things, the SEC’s “significance” tests under which a registrant determines whether a business disposition or acquisition is “significant,” thereby requiring the filing of related Rule 3-05 financial information and pro forma financial information. The New Rules are effective January 1, 2021 for transactions consummated on or after such date, but the New Rules permit voluntary early compliance provided that a registrant applies the New Rules in their entirety from the date of early compliance. Utz adopted the New Rules effective as of, and has applied the New Rules in their entirety, as reasonably applied prior to the effective date of the New Rules, from and since, December 14, 2020.

The adjustments presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information have been identified and presented to provide relevant information necessary for an understanding of the Combined

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Entity upon completion of the Business Combination, the Truco Transactions, the Warrant Exercises, the Warrants Redemption and the Term Loan Refinancing. The pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information and described in the notes thereto reflect, among other things, the completion of the Business Combination, the Truco Transactions, the Warrant Exercises, the Warrants Redemption and the Term Loan Refinancing, and the impact of certain pro forma adjustments (and their tax effect at the estimated effective income tax rate applicable to such adjustments).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the New Rules and is for informational purposes only and is subject to a number of uncertainties and assumptions as described in the accompanying notes. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (1) directly attributable to the Business Combination, the Truco Transactions, the Warrant Exercises, the Warrants Redemption and the Term Loan Refinancing, and (2) factually supportable. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information should not be relied on as being indicative of the historical results that would have been achieved had the transactions occurred on the dates indicated or the future results that the Company will experience. Utz has not had any historical relationship with CCH prior to the Business Combination, or with Truco Seller or the seller of the OTB IP prior to the Truco Transactions. Accordingly, no transaction accounting adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the parties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Note 1 — Description of the Transactions

Basis of presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the Business Combination and the Truco Acquisition are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with CCH and the Company as the accounting acquirers, respectively. The acquisition method of accounting is based on ASC 805, Business Combinations, and uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), for which further detail is provided below. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the accounting acquirers’ assets and liabilities will retain their carrying values, and the assets and liabilities associated with the accounting acquirees will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired, if applicable, will be recorded as goodwill.

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and sets forth a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used to develop the fair value measurements. Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of the asset or liability. In addition, market participants are assumed to be buyers and sellers in the principal (or the most advantageous) market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurements for a non-financial asset assume the highest and best use by these market participants. Many of these fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that other professionals applying reasonable judgment to the same facts and circumstances could develop and support a range of alternative estimated amounts.

The basis of presentation for the IP Purchase is based on ASC 805-50 for asset acquisitions. In general, ASC 805-50 requires that the assets acquired be recognized based on their cost to the acquiring entity, which was determined to be the Company, which generally includes the transaction costs of the asset acquisition.

The transaction accounting adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date of the filing of the pro forma condensed combined financial information and do not reflect possible adjustments related to restructuring or integration activities that have yet to be determined. Unless otherwise noted, the pro forma statements and adjustments are presented in thousands.

A black line separates the predecessor and successor financial statements of the Company on the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations to highlight the lack of comparability and change in reporting entities between these two periods. Due to the Business Combination and the application of fair value adjustments to the Company’s net assets, different bases of accounting have been used to prepare the predecessor and successor condensed combined statement of operations for the period from December 30, 2019 to August 28, 2020 and from August 29, 2020 to January 3, 2021, respectively.

In conjunction with the consummation of the Business Combination and the Truco Acquisition, CCH and Truco have adopted the Company’s accounting policies. As a result of the adoption, there are no significant changes in accounting policies expected and no pro forma adjustments related to the alignment of the accounting policies are required.

The ownership retained by the sellers of UBH after the Business Combination between UBH and CCH is reflected as noncontrolling interest in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, the noncontrolling interest ownership of the Company assumes that the Public Warrants and the Forward Purchase Warrants that were exercised prior to the Warrant Redemption Date, as defined below, had been exercised as of December 30, 2019, resulting in a noncontrolling interest ownership of approximately 44.2%.

Description of the Transactions

Refer to Note 2. “Acquisitions” to our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2021, incorporated herein by reference to our Annual Report.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Warrant Exercises and Warrant Redemption — On December 14, 2020, the Company announced the redemption of all of its outstanding Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants to purchase shares of its Class A Common Stock that were issued under the Warrant Agreement on the Warrant Redemption Date. Prior to the Warrant Redemption Date, an aggregate of 15,802,379 Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants were exercised as part of the Warrant Exercises, resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $181.7 million, including 4,976,717 Public Warrants and Forward Purchase Warrants which were exercised during fiscal year 2021. As of the Redemption Date, 30,928 Public Warrants remained unexercised and were redeemed for $0.01 per warrant. The proceeds from the Warrant Exercises were used to repay a portion of the debt that was drawn down by the Company from the Bridge Credit Agreement (further details discussed below) in connection with the Truco Transactions.

Term Loan Refinancing — In connection with the Truco Transactions, on December 14, 2020, the Company entered into the Bridge Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks, led by Bank of America. The Company withdrew $490.0 million, the proceeds of which were used to fund the Truco Acquisition and the IP Purchase. As of January 3, 2021, $370.0 million of the Bridge Credit Agreement, excluding $120.0 million which was repaid from the Warrant Exercises in fiscal year 2020, was still outstanding. On January 20, 2021, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to the First Lien Term Loan Credit Agreement in which the Company refinanced, in full, outstanding term loans under the Credit Agreement pursuant to refinancing term loans having a principal amount of $410.0 million, and the Company also borrowed an additional $310.0 million in incremental term loans (collectively, the “New Term Loans”). The proceeds from the Term Loan Refinancing were used by the Company to refinance in full existing term loans and repay in full the Bridge Credit Agreement. Certain finance costs of $8.4 million were incurred by the Company in the Term Loan Refinancing which were recognized as deferred financing fees.

Additionally, this adjustment reflects the $2.5 million write-off of unamortized commitment fees and deferred financing costs for the Bridge Credit Agreement as a result of the Term Loan Refinancing. The interest rate of the refinanced Term Loan was determined based on the monthly LIBOR for the relevant period with a spread of 3.0%.

Note 4 — Pro Forma Earnings per Share

The weighted average pro forma basic and diluted number of shares is reflective of the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as a result of the Business Combination, the Warrant Exercises, and the Warrants Redemption as if the shares were outstanding as of the beginning of fiscal 2020. The Pro Forma Earnings per Share is calculated based on pro forma net loss attributable to controlling interest divided by the weighted average pro forma basic and diluted number of shares. The pro forma diluted earnings per share does not consider the impact of certain securities that would be anti-dilutive due to the pro forma net loss position, and thus pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share are the same value.

Preferred Stock

The Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company Board to establish one or more series of Preferred Stock.

The Company Board has the discretion to determine the powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, of each series of Preferred Stock.

The issuance of Preferred Stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company without further action by the stockholders. Additionally, the issuance of Preferred Stock may adversely affect the holders of the Common Stock by restricting dividends on the Class A Common Stock, diluting the voting power of the Class A Common Stock and the Class V Common Stock or subordinating the liquidation rights of the Class A Common Stock. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of Preferred Stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Class A Common Stock. At present, we have no plans to issue any Preferred Stock.

Private Placement Warrants

Each whole Private Placement Warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below. The Founder Holders or their permitted transferees have the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis. If holders of the Private Placement Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering his, her or its Warrants for that number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock underlying the Warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (as defined below) of our Class A Common Stock over the exercise price of the Warrants by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” will mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A Common Stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of Warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The reason that we have agreed that these Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Founder Holders or their permitted transferees is because the period during which they will be affiliated with us following the Business Combination is not known. If they remain affiliated with us, their ability to sell our securities in the open market will be significantly limited. We have adopted an Insider Trading Policy and other policies that prohibit insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such Private Placement Warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate.

The Private Placement Warrants (including the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) did not become transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination (except, among other limited exceptions, to our officers and directors and other persons or entities affiliated with the initial purchasers of the Private Placement Warrants) and they are not redeemable by us so long as they are held by the Founder Holders or their permitted transferees. Pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, a holder of a Private Placement Warrant may exercise its Warrants only for a whole number of shares of Class A Common Stock. This means only a whole Private Placement Warrants may be exercised at a given time by a Warrant holder. The Private Placement Warrants will expire five years after the completion of our initial business combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, to occur on August 28, 2025, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

We will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Private Placement Warrant and will have no obligation to settle the exercise of such Private Placement Warrant unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Common Stock underlying

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Private Placement Warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to our satisfying our obligations described below with respect to registration. No Private Placement Warrant will be exercisable and we will not be obligated to issue a Class A Common Stock upon exercise of a Private Placement Warrant unless the Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Private Placement Warrant has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the Private Placement Warrants. In the event that the conditions in the two immediately preceding sentences are not satisfied with respect to a Private Placement Warrant, the holder of such Private Placement Warrant will not be entitled to exercise such Private Placement Warrant and such Private Placement Warrant may have no value and expire worthless. In no event will we be required to net cash settle any Private Placement Warrant.

We have agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the closing of our initial business combination, we will use our best efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The registration statement of which this prospectus is part is intended to register such shares of Class A Common Stock under the Securities Act. We will use our best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the Warrants in accordance with the provisions of the Warrant Agreement.

Anti-dilution Adjustments

If the number of outstanding Class A Common Stock is increased by a share capitalization payable in Class A Common Stock, or by a split-up of ordinary shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such share capitalization, split-up or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Private Placement Warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. A rights offering to holders of Class A Common Stock entitling holders to purchase Class A Common Stock at a price less than the fair market value will be deemed a share capitalization of a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock) and (ii) the quotient of (x) the price per share of Class A Common Stock paid in such rights offering and (y) the fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Common Stock, in determining the price payable for Class A Common Stock, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) fair market value means the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock as reported during the ten (10) trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Common Stock trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights.

In addition, if we, at any time while the Private Placement Warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to the holders of Class A Common Stock on account of such Class A Common Stock (or other securities into which the warrants are convertible), other than (a) as described above or (b) certain ordinary cash dividends, then the Private Placement Warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each share of Class A Common stock in respect of such event.

If the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share split or reclassification of shares of Class A Common Stock or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share split, reclassification or similar event, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable on exercise of each Private Placement Warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

Whenever the number of shares of Class A Common Stock purchasable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants is adjusted, as described above, the Private Placement Warrants exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the Private Placement Warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock

TABLE OF CONTENTS

purchasable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of shares of Class A Common Stock so purchasable immediately thereafter.

In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A Common Stock (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such Class A Common Stock), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding Class A Common Stock), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the Private Placement Warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the Private Placement Warrants and in lieu of the Class A Common Stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of Class A Common Stock or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the Private Placement Warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their Private Placement Warrants immediately prior to such event. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A Common Stock in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A Common Stock in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the Private Placement Warrants properly exercises the Private Placement Warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the Private Placement Warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the Warrant Agreement based on the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) of the Private Placement Warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the Private Placement Warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the Private Placement Warrants pursuant to which the holders of the Private Placement Warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the Private Placement Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants were issued in registered form under the Warrant Agreement between Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as warrant agent, and us. The Warrant Agreement provides that the terms of the Warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder to cure any ambiguity or correct any defective provision, but requires the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then outstanding Private Placement Warrants to make any change with respect to the Private Placement Warrants.

The Private Placement Warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the warrant certificate on or prior to the expiration date at the offices of the warrant agent, with the exercise form on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by full payment of the exercise price (or on a cashless basis, if applicable), by certified or official bank check payable to us, for the number of Private Placement Warrants being exercised. The Private Placement Warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and any voting rights until they exercise their Private Placement Warrants and receive Class A Common Stock. After the issuance of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders.

No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants. If, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will, upon exercise, round down to the nearest whole number the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to the Private Placement Warrant holder.

Dividends

The payment of future dividends on the shares of Class A Common Stock will depend on our financial condition after the completion of the Business Combination subject to the discretion of the Company Board. Subject to the determination of the Company Board, we intend to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend initially set at approximately $0.20 per common share per annum. There can be no guarantee that such cash

TABLE OF CONTENTS

dividends will be declared. Our ability of to declare dividends may be limited by the terms of any other financing and other agreements entered into by us or our subsidiaries from time to time.

We are a holding company with no material assets other than our interest in Utz Brands Holdings. We intend to cause Utz Brands Holdings to make distributions to holders of Common Company Units in amounts sufficient to cover applicable taxes and other obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement as well as any cash dividends declared by us.

The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement provides that pro rata cash distributions be made to holders of Common Company Units (including us) at certain assumed tax rates, which we refer to as “tax distributions.” We anticipate that the distributions we will receive from Utz Brands Holdings may, in certain periods, exceed our actual tax liabilities and obligations to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The Company Board, in its sole discretion, will make any determination from time to time with respect to the use of any such excess cash so accumulated, which may include, among other uses, to pay dividends on our Class A Common Stock. We has no obligation to distribute such cash (or other available cash other than any declared dividend) to our stockholders. We also expect, if necessary, to undertake ameliorative actions, which may include pro rata or non-pro rata reclassifications, combinations, subdivisions or adjustments of outstanding Common Company Units, to maintain one-for-one parity between Common Company Units held by us and shares of our Class A Common Stock.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law

The Certificate of Incorporation, the Bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, which are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Company Board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of the Company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change of control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of the Company Board to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Class A Common Stock. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that any action required or permitted to be taken by our stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or Stockholders Meeting of such stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such holders unless such action is recommended or approved by all directors of the Company Board then in office, except that holders of Class V Common Stock or one or more series of Preferred Stock, if such series are expressly permitted to do so by the certificate of designation relating to such series, may take any action by written consent if such action permitted to be taken by such holders and the written consent is signed by the holders of outstanding shares of the relevant class or series having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of NYSE, which would apply if and so long as the Class A Common Stock remains listed on NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of shares of Class A Common Stock. Additional shares that may be issued in the future may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved Class A Common Stock may be to enable the Company Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise and thereby protect the continuity of management and possibly deprive stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Class A Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Election of Directors and Vacancies

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company Board will determine the number of directors who will serve on the Company Board. Under the Certificate of Incorporation, the Company Board is divided into three classes designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. Class I directors initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing. Class II and Class III directors initially serve for a term expiring at the second and third annual meeting of stockholders following the Closing, respectively. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected for a full term of three years to succeed the directors of the class whose terms expire at such annual meeting of the stockholders. There is no limit on the number of terms a director may serve on the Company Board.

In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that any vacancy on the Company Board, including a vacancy that results from an increase in the number of directors or a vacancy that results from the removal of a director with cause, may be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, subject to the provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement and any rights of the holders of Preferred Stock.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this section, each director will serve until his successor is duly elected and qualified or until his earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. No decrease in the number of directors constituting the Company Board will shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Business Combinations

We have elected not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Certificate of Incorporation provides that we will not engage in any “business combinations” (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), at any point in time at which our Common Stock is registered under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act, with any “interested stockholder” (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) for a three-year period after the time that such person became an interested stockholder unless:

•

prior to such time, the Company Board approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

•

upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of our voting stock outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares owned by (i) persons who are directors and also officers and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

•

at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the Company Board and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least 66-2/3% of the outstanding shares of our voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Under the Certificate of Incorporation, a “business combination” is defined to generally include a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. An interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns or, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did own 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock. The Certificate of Incorporation expressly excludes certain of our stockholders with whom we entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, certain of their respective transferees and their respective successors and affiliates from the definition of “interested stockholder” irrespective of the percentage ownership of the total voting power beneficially owned by them. Under certain circumstances, such provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Accordingly, such provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation could have an anti-takeover effect with respect to certain transactions which the Company Board does not approve in advance. Such provisions may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with the Company Board because

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the stockholder approval requirement would be avoided if the Company Board approves either the business combination or the transaction that results in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. However, such provisions also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders. These provisions also may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Quorum

The Bylaws provide that at any meeting of the Company Board a majority of the total number of directors then in office constitutes a quorum for all purposes.

No Cumulative Voting

Under Delaware law, the right to vote cumulatively does not exist unless the certificate of incorporation expressly authorizes cumulative voting. The Certificate of Incorporation does not authorize cumulative voting.

General Stockholder Meetings

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by or at the direction of the Company Board, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Meetings, Nominations and Proposals

The Bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and the nomination of candidates for election as directors, other than nominations made by or at the direction of the Company Board or a committee of the Company Board. For any matter to be “properly brought” before a meeting, a stockholder has to comply with advance notice requirements and provide us with certain information. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders (for the purposes of the first annual meeting of our stockholders following the adoption of the Bylaws, the date of the preceding annual meeting will be deemed to be August 27 of the preceding calendar year). The Bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions will not apply to the Stockholder Parties (as defined in the Bylaws) so long as the Investor Rights Agreement remains in effect. The Bylaws allow the presiding officer at a meeting of the stockholders to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may also defer, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to influence or obtain control of the Company.

Supermajority Provisions

The Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws provide that the Company Board is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend, change, add to, rescind or repeal, in whole or in part, the Bylaws without a stockholder vote in any matter not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or the Certificate of Incorporation. Any amendment, alteration, rescission or repeal of the Bylaws by our stockholders requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3%, in case of provisions in Article I, Article II and Article IV of the Bylaws, and a majority, in case of any other provisions, in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.

The DGCL provides generally that the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, is required to amend a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, unless the certificate of incorporation requires a greater percentage. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that Article X therein, including the provisions therein regarding competition and corporate opportunities, may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 80% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that Article V, Article VI,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article XII and Article XIII therein, including the following provisions therein may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 662∕3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class:

•

The provision requiring a 662∕3% supermajority vote, in case of provisions in Article I, Article II and Article IV of the Bylaws, and a majority vote, in case of any other provisions, for stockholders to amend the Bylaws;

•

The provisions providing for a classified Company Board (the election and term of directors);

•

The provisions regarding filling vacancies on the Company Board and newly created directorships;

•

The provisions regarding resignation and removal of directors;

•

The provisions regarding calling special meetings of stockholders;

•

The provisions regarding stockholder action by written consent;

•

The provisions eliminating monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty by a director;

•

The provisions regarding the election not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL;

•

The provisions regarding the selection of forum (See “— Exclusive Forum”); and

•

The amendment provision requiring that the above provisions be amended only with an 66-2/3% supermajority vote.

These provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying or preventing changes in control of the Company or our management, such as a merger, reorganization or tender offer. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continued stability in the composition of the Company Board and its policies and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of us. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal. The provisions are also intended to discourage certain tactics that may be used in proxy fights. However, such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in management.

Exclusive Forum

The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder to us or our stockholders, or any claim for aiding and abetting such alleged breach, (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation (as it may be amended or restated) or the Bylaws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, as to any action in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any claim (a) as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (b) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or (c) arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act, as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article XII of the Certificate of Incorporation will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in

TABLE OF CONTENTS

any shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “foreign action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. However, it is possible that a court could find our forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Although we believe this provision benefits it by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers and other employees.

Conflicts of Interest

Delaware law permits corporations to adopt provisions renouncing any interest or expectancy in certain opportunities that are presented to the corporation or its officers, directors or stockholders. The Certificate of Incorporation, to the maximum extent permitted from time to time by Delaware law, renounces any interest or expectancy that we have in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, specified business opportunities that are from time to time presented to our officers, directors or stockholders or their respective affiliates, other than those officers, directors, stockholders or affiliates who are our employees or employees of our subsidiaries. The Certificate of Incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of the non-employee directors or his or her affiliates will have any duty to refrain from (i) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which we or our affiliates now engage or propose to engage or (ii) otherwise competing with us or our affiliates. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in the event that any non-employee director or any of his or her affiliates acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity which may be a corporate opportunity for itself or himself or herself or its or his or her affiliates or for us or our affiliates, such person will have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to us or any of our affiliates and they may take any such opportunity for themselves or offer it to another person or entity. The Certificate of Incorporation does not renounce our interest in any business opportunity that is expressly offered to, or acquired or developed by a non-employee director solely in his or her capacity as our director or officer. To the fullest extent permitted by law, a corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a potential corporate opportunity for us if it is a business opportunity that (i) we are neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of our business or is of no practical advantage to us, (iii) is one in which we have no interest or reasonable expectancy, or (iv) is one presented to any account for the benefit of a member of the Company Board or such member’s affiliate over which such member of the Company Board has no direct or indirect influence or control, including, but not limited to, a blind trust.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to certain exceptions. The Certificate of Incorporation includes a provision that eliminates, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for any breach of fiduciary duty as a director The effect of these provisions is to eliminate the rights of us and our stockholders, through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior. However, exculpation does not apply to any director if the director has acted in bad faith, knowingly or intentionally violated the law, authorized illegal dividends or redemptions or derived an improper benefit from his or her actions as a director.

The Bylaws provide that we must indemnify and advance expenses to directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. We are also expressly authorized to carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance providing indemnification for directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe that these indemnification and advancement provisions and insurance are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and executive officers.

The limitation of liability, indemnification and advancement provisions in the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions also may have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit us and our stockholders. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions. We believe that these provisions, liability insurance and the indemnity agreements are necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced directors and officers.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of our directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Stockholder Registration Rights

At the Closing, we entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Sponsor’s successors, the Continuing Members and Collier Creek’s independent directors have specified rights to require us to register all or a portion of their shares under the Securities Act. The defined term Registrable Securities therein includes the shares of Class A Common Stock and Warrants to purchase Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the Domestication. The registration statement of which this prospectus is part was filed, in part, to satisfy our obligations under the Investor Rights Agreement.

Rule 144

Rule 144 under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company. However, Rule 144 also includes an important exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met:

•

the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell company has ceased to be a shell company;

•

the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;

•

the issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding twelve months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and

•

at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Company ceased to be a shell company and at least one year has elapsed from the time that the Company filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company.

The following tables are prepared based on information provided to us by the Selling Holders. It sets forth the name and address of the Selling Holders, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock that the Selling Holders may offer pursuant to this prospectus, and the beneficial ownership of the Selling Holders both before and after the offering.

In calculating percentages of shares of Class A Common Stock owned by a particular Selling Holder, we treated as outstanding the number of shares of our Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of that particular Selling Holder’s Private Placement Warrants, if any, and did not assume the exercise of any other Selling Holder’s Private Placement Warrants. With respect to each Selling Holder who holds 2020 LTIP RSUs, each of whom is, or was, a member of our management team, the beneficial ownership of shares of Class A Common Stock reported below assumes the vesting and settlement of the shares of Class A Common Stock subject to the 2020 LTIP RSUs held by such Selling Holder.

Summary of the Business Combination

On the Closing Date, Collier Creek effected the Domestication, pursuant to which it domesticated into a Delaware corporation, and consummated the acquisition of certain company units of Utz Brands Holdings, the parent of Utz Quality Foods, as a result of a new issuance by Utz Brands Holdings and purchases from existing equityholders of Utz Brands Holdings pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, at the Closing, Collier Creek paid the following aggregate Business Combination Consideration in exchange for 59,369,050 Common Company Units including 2,000,000 units representing Restricted Company Units, which immediately converted at Closing into Common Company Units upon the satisfaction of certain performance-based vesting conditions, is comprised of (i) the UPA Seller Preferred Equity Purchase Consideration paid in cash, which was used by Collier Creek at the Closing to acquire the preferred units in the Continuing Members owned by the UPA Seller, which units were immediately redeemed by the Continuing Members at the Closing in exchange for a portion of the Common Company Units and Restricted Company Units acquired by Collier Creek, (ii) the UPA Seller Common Equity Purchase Consideration paid in cash, which was used by Collier Creek at the Closing to acquire the common units in the Continuing Members owned by UPA Seller, which units were immediately redeemed by the Continuing Members at the Closing in exchange for a portion of the Common Company Units and Restricted Company Units acquired by Collier Creek, (iii) the Net Cash Consideration in cash to acquire from the Continuing Members a portion of the Common Company Units and Restricted Company Units acquired by Collier Creek at the Closing, (iv) 61,249,000 shares of Class V Common Stock; and (v) the Contribution Amount in cash to Utz Brands Holdings, which Contribution Amount was contributed to Utz Brands Holdings at the Closing in exchange for the issuance by Utz of a portion of the Common Company Units and Restricted Company Units acquired by Collier Creek.

thresholds applicable to the Restricted Company Units and the Restricted Sponsor Shares had been satisfied as of Closing and, accordingly, (x) all of the Restricted Company Units, immediately converted at Closing into the same number of Common Company Units; (y) all of the Restricted Sponsor Shares vested upon Closing and the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock were issued in lieu thereof; and (z) we issued to the Continuing Members a number of shares of Class V Common Stock equal to the 3,483,022 Restricted Company Units retained by the Continuing Members, which had vested at the Closing.

On the Closing Date, in connection with the Business Combination, we entered into certain Related Agreements including the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement, Tax Receivable Agreement, Investor Rights Agreement and the Standstill Agreement (each of which is described below).

Related Agreements

Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement

On the Closing Date, the existing second amended and restated limited liability company agreement of Utz Brands Holdings was further amended and restated in its entirety to become the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement.

Rights of the Units

Following the Closing, the Common Company Units are entitled to share in the profits and losses of Utz Brands Holdings and to receive distributions as and if declared by our managing member and have no voting rights.

The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement contains provisions which require that a one-to-one ratio is maintained between interests held by us in Utz Brands Holdings and our Common Stock outstanding, subject to certain exceptions (including in respect of management equity which has not been settled in our Common Stock). In addition, the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement permits us, in our capacity as the managing member, to take actions to maintain such ratio, including in connection with stock splits, combinations, recapitalizations and exercises of the Continuing Members’ exchange rights (described below).

We, as the managing member of Utz Brands Holdings, has the authority to create new equity interests in Utz Brands Holdings, and establish the rights and privileges of such interests.

The business, property and affairs of Utz Brands Holdings is managed solely by the managing member, and the managing member cannot be removed or replaced except by the incumbent managing member.

Distributions

Immediately following the Closing, the Company Board adopted a distribution policy in respect of Utz Brands Holdings, pursuant to which we, as the managing member of Utz Brands Holdings, will declare quarterly ordinary distributions and tax distributions, out of available cash, available borrowings and other funds legally available therefor, unless prohibited by applicable law and subject to applicable restrictions in Utz Brands Holdings’ bank financing agreements. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement provides for quarterly ordinary distributions as well as quarterly tax distributions, in

each case payable in accordance with the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and Utz Brands Holdings’ distribution policy, to the holders of Common Company Units on a pro rata basis based upon, with respect to tax distributions, an agreed-upon formula related to the taxable income of Utz Brands Holdings allocable to holders of Common Company Units. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on our estimate of the taxable income of Utz Brands Holdings allocable to each holder of Common Company Units (based on certain assumptions) multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined United States federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to an individual resident in Pennsylvania or a U.S. corporation (whichever is higher), taking into account all jurisdictions in which the we are required to file income tax returns and the relevant apportionment information and the character of Utz Brands Holdings’ income, subject to various adjustments. Distributions, including tax distributions, will be made to holders of Common Company Units on a pro rata basis. Immediately following the Closing, the Company Board adopted a distribution policy in respect of Utz Brands Holdings, pursuant to which we, as the managing member of Utz Brands Holdings, will declare quarterly ordinary distributions and tax distributions, out of available cash, available borrowings and other funds legally available therefor, unless prohibited by applicable law and subject to applicable restrictions in Utz Brands Holdings’ bank financing agreements.

Distributions, including tax distributions, will be made to holders of Common Company Units on a pro rata basis.

Upon the liquidation or winding up of Utz Brands Holdings, all net proceeds thereof will be distributed one hundred percent (100%) to the holders of Common Company Units on a pro rata basis.

Transfer Restrictions

The Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement contains restrictions on transfers of units and requires the prior consent of the managing member for such transfers, except, in each case, for (i) certain transfers to permitted transferees under certain conditions and (ii) exchanges of Common Company Units for Class A Common Stock after the Lock-up Period pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement has expired, which occurred on February 22, 2021.

Exchange of Common Company Units for Class A Common Stock

The Continuing Members, up to twice per calendar quarter in the aggregate, are able to exchange all or any portion of their Common Company Units, together with the cancellation of an equal number of shares of Class V Common Stock, for a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to the number of exchanged Common Company Units by delivering a written notice to Utz Brands Holdings, with a copy to us; provided that no holder of Common Company Units may exchange less than 100,000 Common Company Units in any single exchange unless exchanging all of the Common Company Units held by such holder at such time, subject in each case to the limitations and requirements set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement regarding such exchanges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may, at our sole discretion, in lieu of delivering shares of Class A Common Stock for any Common Company Units surrendered for exchange, pay an amount in cash per Common Company Unit equal to the 5-day VWAP of the Class A Common Stock ending on the day immediately prior to the date of the giving of the written notice of the exchange.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Exchange Ratio

For each Common Company Unit exchanged, one share of Class V Common Stock will be canceled and one share of Class A Common Stock will be issued to the exchanging member (unless we elect to pay an amount in cash in lieu thereof as described above). The exchange ratio will be adjusted for any subdivision (split, unit distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse unit split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of the Common Company Units that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock or, by any such subdivision or combination of the Class A Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the Common Company Units. If the Class A Common Stock is converted or changed into another security, securities or other property, on any subsequent exchange an exchanging Common Company Unit holder will be entitled to receive such security, securities or other property.

Restrictions on Exchange

We may limit the rights of holders of Common Company Units to exchange their Common Company Units under the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement if we determine in good faith that such restrictions are necessary so that Utz Brands Holdings will not be classified as a “publicly traded partnership” under applicable tax laws and regulations.

Expenses

Utz Brands Holdings will reimburse all of our expenses in connection with our ownership and management of Utz Brands Holdings and its business (other than certain expenses, such as income taxes and payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Tax Receivable Agreement

On the Closing Date, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Continuing Members. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, are required to pay to the Continuing Members or exchanging holders of Common Company Units, as applicable, 85% of the tax savings that we realize as a result of increases in tax basis in Utz Brands Holdings’ assets as a result of the sale of Common Company Units for the Net Cash Consideration, the purchase and redemption of the common units and preferred units in the Continuing Members and the future exchange of the Common Company Units for shares of Class A Common Stock (or cash) pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and certain other tax attributes of Utz Brands Holdings and tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration rights occur.

Investor Rights Agreement

On the Closing Date, we entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with the Continuing Members, the Sponsor Parties and the Sponsor Representative.

In addition, subject to certain exceptions, the Continuing Members and the successors to the Sponsor (acting through the Sponsor Representative) will be entitled to request in writing that we register the resale of any or all of their Class A Common Stock on Form S-3 and any similar short-form registration that may be available at such time as a “shelf registration.” Subject to certain customary exceptions, if any time after the Closing, we propose to file a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to our securities, we will give notice to the relevant security holders party to the Investor Rights Agreement as to the proposed filing and offer such security holders an opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as requested by such security holders in writing, subject to customary cutbacks in an underwritten offering. Any other of our security holders with piggyback registration rights may also participate in any such registrations, subject to customary cutbacks in an underwritten offering. We have customary rights to postpone any registration statements for certain events. If the registration is through an underwritten offering, certain of our security holders will agree to lockup restrictions on the same basis as our directors and executive officers.

Under the Investor Rights Agreement, we have agreed to indemnify the security holders and each underwriter and each of their respective controlling persons against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of a material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which they sell shares of Class A Common Stock, unless such liability arose from their misstatement or omission, and the security holders have agreed to indemnify us and our officers and directors and controlling persons against all losses caused by their misstatements or omissions in those documents.

The Lock-up Period ended on February 22, 2021.

Termination

The director appointment and voting rights under the Investor Rights Agreement will terminate as to a party when such party (either the Continuing Members or the Sponsor and the Founder Holders, as a group), no longer has the right to appoint a director (which occurs when such group has less than 15% of the economic interests in the Company and Utz Brands Holdings that it owned immediately after the Closing). The registration rights in the Investor Rights Agreement will terminate as to each holder of shares of our Common Stock when such holder ceases to hold any such Common Stock or securities exercisable or exchangeable for such Common Stock.

Standstill Agreement

On the Closing Date, we entered into the Standstill Agreement with the Continuing Members, the Sponsor, the Founder Holders and certain related parties of the Continuing Members.

Under the Standstill Agreement, the Continuing Members and certain related parties of the Continuing Members agreed that until the third anniversary of the Closing Date, or August 28, 2023, that they shall not acquire or attempt to acquire any additional Common Stock in excess of 55.8% of the voting power of our Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, subject to certain exceptions. Under such agreement, the Continuing Members, certain related parties of the Continuing Members, the Sponsor and the Founder Holders agreed that (i) until such parties are no longer able to designate a director to the Company Board pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, such parties shall not solicit proxies to vote or seek to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of any of our securities in favor of electing any person as a director who is not nominated pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement or by the Company Board or to approve stockholder proposals related thereto; and (ii) until the annual meeting of stockholders held by us after the third anniversary of the completion of the Business Combination, or August 28, 2023, such parties shall not take certain actions contrary to our governance structure other than in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement.

Sponsor Side Letter Agreement

In connection with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Sponsor, the Founder Holders, and Collier Creek’s independent directors entered into the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement with Collier Creek. Under the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement, 2,000,000 Class B Ordinary Shares of Collier Creek held by the Sponsor and Collier Creek’s independent directors were automatically converted into 1,000,000 shares of Series B-1 Common Stock and 1,000,000 shares of Series B-2 Common, which, collectively, form our Class B Common Stock, and all such Class B Common Stock is referred to herein as the Restricted Sponsor Shares. Under the Sponsor Side Letter Agreement, the Restricted Sponsor Shares which were shares of Series B-1 Common Stock would automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the vesting of the Restricted Company Units held by us which vest upon the achievement of at least a $12.50 3-day VWAP which dollar threshold will be decreased by the aggregate amount of dividends per share paid by us after the Closing (including any vesting of such units in connection with a qualifying change of control or liquidation) and the Restricted Sponsor Shares which were shares of Series B-2 Common Stock would automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the vesting of the Restricted

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Company Units held by us which vest upon the achievement of at least a $15.00 3-day VWAP which dollar threshold will be decreased by the aggregate amount of dividends per share paid by us after the Closing (including any vesting of such units in connection with a qualifying change of control or liquidation). Upon conversion of the Restricted Sponsor Shares, the holder of each such Restricted Share were entitled to receive a payment equal to the amount of dividends declared on a share of Class A Common Stock beginning at Closing and ending on the day before the date such Restricted Sponsor Share converts into a share of Class A Common Stock. If any of the Restricted Sponsor Shares did not convert prior to the 10-year anniversary of the Closing Date, such Restricted Sponsor Shares would have been canceled for no consideration, and would not have been entitled to receive any Catch-Up Payment in respect of such Restricted Sponsor Shares. The Company Board determined that the vesting thresholds applicable to the Restricted Sponsor Shares had been satisfied as of Closing and, accordingly, all of the Restricted Sponsor Shares vested upon Closing and the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock were issued in lieu thereof.

Collier Creek Related Party Transactions

Class B Ordinary Shares

On May 2, 2018, Collier Creek issued 2,875,000 Class B Ordinary Shares to the Sponsor in exchange for a capital contribution of $25,000. On September 7, 2018, Collier Creek effected a share capitalization resulting in the Sponsor holding an aggregate of 10,937,500 Class B Ordinary Shares. On September 10, 2018, the Sponsor transferred 45,000, 45,000, 52,500 and 52,500 Class B Ordinary Shares to each of its independent directors. On October 4, 2018, Collier Creek effected a share capitalization resulting in an aggregate of 12,375,000 Class B Ordinary Shares. On October 10, 2018, the underwriters partially exercised the over-allotment option, and an aggregate of 500,000 Class B Ordinary Shares were subsequently surrendered to Collier Creek by the Sponsor for no consideration on October 19, 2018. Of the 11,875,000 shares outstanding as of immediately prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, the Sponsor owned an aggregate of 11,680,000 Class B Ordinary Shares and the independent directors owned an aggregate of 195,000 Class B Ordinary Shares.

Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, the Class B Ordinary Shares automatically converted into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, after giving effect to the conversion of Class B Common Stock upon the Closing of the Business Combination. Such shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to the Related Agreements.

Private Placement

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, Collier Creek consummated the private placement of 7,200,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.50 per warrant to the Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $10.8 million. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of Class A Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the IPO to be held in the Trust Account. The Private Placement Warrants are non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees.

Administrative Service Fee

Collier Creek agreed, commencing on the effective date of the IPO through the earlier of Collier Creek’s consummation of a business combination and its liquidation, to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, and secretarial and administrative services. Collier Creek recorded $120,000 in general and administrative expenses in connection with this administrative services agreement during the year ended December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2019, Collier Creek had accrued approximately $147,000 for services in connection with such agreement.

Forward Purchase Agreements

On September 7, 2018, Collier Creek entered into the Forward Purchase Agreements with the Sponsor and Collier Creek’s independent directors which provide for the purchase of an aggregate of 3,500,000

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Forward Purchase Shares, plus an aggregate of 1,166,666 Forward Purchase Warrants to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share at $11.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $35,000,000, or $10.00 per Class A Ordinary Share, in a Private Placement to close concurrently with the closing of the initial business combination. The Forward Purchase Warrants had the same terms as the Public Warrants. In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, the Forward Purchase Shares and Forward Purchase Warrants were issued. The proceeds from the sale of Forward Purchase Securities were used as part of the consideration to the Continuing Members in the Business Combination.

Registration Rights

Prior to the Closing of the Business Combination, the holders of the Class B Ordinary Shares of Collier Creek and Private Placement Warrants (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants) were entitled to registration rights pursuant to the Original Registration Rights Agreement entered into on the effective date of the IPO. The holders of these securities were entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the consummation of a business combination. We were required to bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Pursuant to the Forward Purchase Agreements, Collier Creek agreed to use its commercially reasonable best efforts (i) to file within 30 days after the closing of a business combination a registration statement with the SEC for a secondary offering of the Forward Purchase Shares and the Forward Purchase Warrants (and underlying Class A Ordinary Shares), (ii) to cause such registration statement to be declared effective promptly thereafter and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement until the earliest of (a) the date on which the Sponsor and all of the independent directors or their respective assignees cease to hold the securities covered thereby and (b) the date all of the securities covered thereby can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation under Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition, the Forward Purchase Agreements provide these holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights to include their securities in other registration statements filed by Collier Creek.

In connection with the Business Combination, the Original Registration Rights Agreement terminated upon the execution of the Investor Rights Agreement. (See “— Related Agreements — Investor Rights Agreement”).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following discussion is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax considerations generally applicable to the ownership and disposition of our Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants, which we refer to collectively as our securities. This summary is based upon U.S. federal income tax law as of the date of this prospectus, which is subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly with retroactive effect. This summary does not discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to particular investors in light of their individual circumstances, including investors subject to special tax rules (e.g., financial institutions, insurance companies, broker-dealers, tax-exempt organizations (including private foundations), taxpayers that have elected mark-to-market accounting, S corporations, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, passive foreign investment companies, controlled foreign corporations, investors that will hold Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants as part of a straddle, hedge, constructive sale, conversion, or other integrated or risk reduction transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, investors who acquired Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants as a result of the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax qualified retirement plan, or investors that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar), all of whom may be subject to tax rules that differ materially from those summarized below. In addition, this summary does not discuss other U.S. federal tax consequences (e.g., estate or gift tax), any state, local, or non-U.S. tax considerations or the Medicare tax or alternative minimum tax. In addition, this summary is limited to investors that will hold our securities as “capital assets” (generally, property held for investment) under Code. No ruling from the IRS has been or will be sought regarding any matter discussed herein. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain a position contrary to any of the tax aspects set forth below.

For purposes of this summary, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial holder of securities who or that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

•

An individual who is a United States citizen or resident of the United States;

•

A corporation or other entity treated as a corporation for United States federal income tax purposes created in, or organized under the law of, the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof;

•

An estate the income of which is includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes regardless of its source; or

•

A trust (A) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a United States court and which has one or more United States persons (within the meaning of the Code) who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) that has in effect a valid election under applicable Treasury Regulations to be treated as a United States person.

A “non-U.S. Holder” is a beneficial holder of securities who or that is neither a U.S. Holder nor a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our securities, the tax treatment of a partner, member or other beneficial owner in such partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner, member or other beneficial owner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner, member or other beneficial owner level. If you are a partner, member or other beneficial owner of a partnership holding our securities, you are urged to consult your tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our securities.

THIS DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. PROSPECTIVE HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF OWNING AND DISPOSING OF OUR SECURITIES, AS WELL AS THE APPLICATION OF ANY, STATE, LOCAL AND NON-U.S. INCOME, ESTATE AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

If we pay distributions to U.S. Holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock, such distributions generally will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Distributions in excess of current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a return of capital that will be applied against and reduce (but not below zero) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in our Class A Common Stock. Any remaining excess generally will be treated as gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock and will be treated as described under “U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock” below.

Dividends we pay to a U.S. Holder that is a taxable corporation generally will qualify for the dividends received deduction if the requisite holding period is satisfied. With certain exceptions (including dividends treated as investment income for purposes of investment interest deduction limitations), and provided certain holding period requirements are met, dividends we pay to a non-corporate U.S. Holder will generally constitute “qualified dividends” that will be subject to tax at the maximum tax rate accorded to long-term capital gains.

Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock

A U.S. Holder will generally recognize gain or loss on the sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock so disposed of exceeds one year. The amount of gain or loss recognized will generally be equal to the difference between (1) the sum of the amount of cash and the fair market value of any property received in such disposition and (2) the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock so disposed of. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Class A Common Stock will generally equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost (that is, the investment cost of a share of Class A Common Stock or, as discussed below, the U.S. Holder’s initial basis for Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of a Warrant) less any prior distributions treated as a return of capital. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations.

Redemption of Class A Common Stock

In the event that a U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock is redeemed by us, including pursuant to an open market transaction, the treatment of the transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes will depend on whether the redemption qualifies as sale of the Class A Common Stock under Section 302 of the Code. If the redemption qualifies as a sale of Class A Common Stock under the tests described below, the tax consequences to the U.S. Holder will be the same as described under “U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock” above. If the redemption does not qualify as a sale of Class A Common Stock, the U.S. Holder will be treated as receiving a corporate distribution, the tax consequences of which are described above under “U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions”. Whether the redemption qualifies for sale treatment will depend primarily on the total number of shares of our stock treated as held by the U.S. Holder (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning Warrants) both before and after the redemption. The redemption of Class A Common Stock will generally be treated as a sale of the Class A Common Stock (rather than as a corporate distribution) if the redemption (1) is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the U.S. Holder, (2) results in a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in us or (3) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the U.S. Holder. These tests are explained more fully below.

In determining whether any of the foregoing tests are satisfied, a U.S. Holder takes into account not only stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder, but also shares of our stock that are constructively owned by it. A U.S. Holder may constructively own, in addition to stock owned directly, stock owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the U.S. Holder has an interest or that have an interest in such U.S. Holder, as well as any stock the U.S. Holder has a right to acquire by exercise of an option, which would generally include common stock which could be acquired pursuant to the exercise of warrants. A redemption of a U.S. Holder’s stock will be substantially disproportionate with respect to the U.S. Holder if the percentage of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately following the redemption of common stock is, among other requirements, less than 80% of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder immediately before the redemption. There will be a complete termination of a U.S. Holder’s interest if either (1) all of the shares of our stock actually and constructively owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed or (2) all of the shares of our stock actually owned by the U.S. Holder are redeemed and the U.S. Holder is eligible to waive, and effectively waives in accordance with specific rules, the attribution of stock owned by certain family members and the U.S. Holder does not constructively own any other stock (including any stock constructively owned by the U.S. Holder as a result of owning warrants). The redemption of the Class A Common Stock will not be essentially equivalent to a dividend if the redemption results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us. Whether the redemption will result in a meaningful reduction in a U.S. Holder’s proportionate interest in us will depend on the particular facts and circumstances. The IRS has indicated in a published ruling that even a small reduction in the proportionate interest of a small minority stockholder in a publicly held corporation who exercises no control over corporate affairs may constitute such a “meaningful reduction.” A U.S. Holder is urged to consult its tax advisors as to the tax consequences of a redemption, including the application of the constructive ownership rules described above.

If none of the foregoing tests is satisfied, the redemption will be treated as a corporate distribution, the tax consequences of which are described under “U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions,” above. After the application of those rules, any remaining tax basis of the U.S. Holder in the redeemed Class A Common Stock should be added to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its remaining stock, or, if it has none, to the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Warrants or possibly in other stock constructively owned by it.

Exercise of a Private Placement Warrant

Except as discussed below with respect to the cashless exercise of a Private Placement Warrant, a U.S. Holder will generally not recognize gain or loss upon the exercise of a Private Placement Warrant. The U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the share of our Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will generally be an amount equal to the sum of the U.S. Holder’s initial investment in, or cost allocated to, the Private Placement Warrants and the exercise price of such Private Placement Warrant. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock received upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants would commence on the date of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant; however, in either case the holding period will not include the period during which the U.S. Holder held the Private Placement Warrants.

The tax consequences of a cashless exercise of a Private Placement Warrant are not clear under current tax law. A cashless exercise may be nontaxable, either because the exercise is not a realization event or because the exercise is treated as a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes. In either situation, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Class A Common Stock received would generally equal the holder’s tax basis in the Private Placement Warrant. If the cashless exercise were treated as not being a realization event, it is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock would commence on the date of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant. If, however, the cashless exercise were treated as a recapitalization, the holding period of the Class A Common Stock would include the holding period of the Private Placement Warrant.

It is also possible that a cashless exercise could be treated as a taxable exchange in which gain or loss is recognized. In such event, a U.S. Holder would be deemed to have surrendered a number of Private Placement Warrants having a value equal to the exercise price. The U.S. Holder would recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the Class A Common Stock represented by the Private Placement Warrants deemed surrendered and the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Private Placement Warrants deemed surrendered. In this case, a U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Class A Common Stock received would equal the sum of the U.S. Holder’s initial investment in, or cost allocated to, the Private Placement Warrants exercised and the exercise price of such Private Placement Warrants. It is unclear whether a U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Class A Common Stock would commence on the date of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant or the day following the date of exercise of the Private Placement Warrant.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Due to the absence of authority on the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a cashless exercise, including when a U.S. Holder’s holding period would commence with respect to the Class A Common Stock received, there can be no assurance which, if any, of the alternative tax consequences and holding periods described above would be adopted by the IRS or a court of law. Accordingly, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of a cashless exercise.

Sale, Exchange or Expiration of a Private Placement Warrant

Upon a sale, exchange (other than by exercise) or expiration of a Private Placement Warrant, a U.S. Holder will generally recognize taxable gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between (1) the amount realized upon such disposition or expiration and (2) the U.S. Holder’s tax basis in the Private Placement Warrant. Such gain or loss will generally be treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Private Placement Warrant is held by the U.S. Holder for more than one year at the time of such disposition or expiration. If a Private Placement Warrant is allowed to lapse unexercised, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize a capital loss equal to such holder’s tax basis in the Private Placement Warrant. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Private Placement Warrants provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Private Placement Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus captioned Private Placement “Description of Securities — Private Placement Warrants — Anti-dilution Adjustment” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution is generally not a taxable event. Nevertheless, a U.S. Holder of Private Placement Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock which is taxable to such holders as a distribution. Such constructive distribution would be subject to tax as described under that section in the same manner as if such U.S. Holder received a cash distribution from us equal to the fair market value of such increased interest.

Non-U.S. Holders

Taxation of Distributions

In general, any distributions (including constructive distributions) we make to a non-U.S. Holder of shares of our Class A Common Stock, to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles), will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Provided such dividends are not effectively connected with the non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States, we will be required to withhold tax from the gross amount of the dividend at a rate of 30%, unless such non-U.S. Holder is eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax under an applicable income tax treaty and provides proper certification of its eligibility for such reduced rate (usually on an IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, as applicable). In the case of any constructive dividend, it is possible that this tax would be withheld from any amount owed to a non-U.S. Holder by the applicable withholding agent, including cash distributions on other property or sale proceeds from Private Placement Warrants or other property subsequently paid or credited to such holder. Any distribution not constituting a dividend will be treated first as reducing (but not below zero) the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares of our Class A Common Stock and, to the extent such distribution exceeds the non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis, as gain realized from the sale or other disposition of the Class A Common Stock, which will be treated as described under “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants” below. In addition, if we determine that we are classified as a “United States real property holding corporation” (see “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants” below), we will withhold 15% of any distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Dividends we pay to a non-U.S. Holder that are effectively connected with such non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the United States (or if a tax treaty applies are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder) will generally not be subject to U.S. withholding tax, provided such non-U.S. Holder complies with certain certification and disclosure requirements (usually by providing an IRS Form W-8ECI). Instead, such dividends will generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax, net of certain deductions, at the same graduated individual or corporate rates applicable to U.S. Holders. If the non-U.S. Holder is a corporation, dividends that are effectively connected income may also be subject to a “branch profits tax” at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

Exercise of a Private Placement Warrant

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a non-U.S. Holder’s exercise of a Private Placement Warrant generally will correspond to the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the exercise of a Private Placement Warrant by a U.S. Holder, as described under “U.S. Holders — Exercise of a Private Placement Warrant” above, although to the extent a cashless exercise results in a taxable exchange, the tax consequences to the non-U.S. Holder would generally be the same as those described below in “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants.”

Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants

A non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of gain recognized on a sale, taxable exchange or other taxable disposition of our Class A Common Stock or an expiration of our Private Placement Warrants, unless:

•

The gain is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. Holder within the United States (and, if an applicable tax treaty so requires, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the non-U.S. Holder);

•

The non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of disposition and certain other conditions are met; or

•

We are or have been a “United States real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition or the period that the non-U.S. Holder held our Class A Common Stock, and, in the case where shares of our Class A Common Stock are regularly traded on an established securities market, the non-U.S. Holder has owned, directly or constructively, more than 5% of our Class A Common Stock at any time within the shorter of the five-year period preceding the disposition or such non-U.S. Holder’s holding period for the shares of our Class A Common Stock. There can be no assurance that our Class A Common Stock will be treated as regularly traded on an established securities market for this purpose.

Gain described in the first bullet point above will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. Any gains described in the first bullet point above of a non-U.S. Holder that is a foreign corporation may also be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate (or lower applicable treaty rate). Gain described in the second bullet point above will generally be subject to a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding possible eligibility for benefits under income tax treaties.

If the third bullet point above applies to a non-U.S. Holder, gain recognized by such holder on the sale, exchange or other disposition of our Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants will be subject to tax at generally applicable U.S. federal income tax rates. In addition, a buyer of our Class A Common Stock or Private Placement Warrants from such holder may be required to withhold U.S. income tax at a rate of 15% of the amount realized upon such disposition. We will be classified as a United States real property holding corporation if the fair market value of our “United States real property interests” equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of our worldwide real property interests plus our other assets used or held for use in a trade or business, as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We do not believe we

currently are or will become a United States real property holding corporation, however there can be no assurance in this regard. Non-U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the application of these rules.

Possible Constructive Distributions

The terms of each Private Placement Warrant provide for an adjustment to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Private Placement Warrant may be exercised or to the exercise price of the Private Placement Warrant in certain events, as discussed in the section of this prospectus captioned “Description of Securities — Private Placement Warrants.” An adjustment which has the effect of preventing dilution is generally not a taxable event. Nevertheless, a non-U.S. Holder of Private Placement Warrants would be treated as receiving a constructive distribution from us if, for example, the adjustment increases the holder’s proportionate interest in our assets or earnings and profits (e.g., through an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock that would be obtained upon exercise) as a result of a distribution of cash to the holders of shares of our Class A Common Stock which is taxable to such holders as a distribution. A non-U.S. Holder would be subject to U.S. federal income tax withholding under that section in the same manner as if such non-U.S. Holder received a cash distribution from us equal to the fair market value of such increased interest without any corresponding receipt of cash.

Redemption of Class A Common Stock

The characterization for U.S. federal income tax purposes of the redemption of a non-U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock will generally correspond to the U.S. federal income tax characterization of such a redemption of a U.S. Holder’s Class A Common Stock, as described under “U.S. Holders — Redemption of Class A Common Stock” above, and the consequences of the redemption to the non-U.S. Holder will be as described above under “Non-U.S. Holders — Taxation of Distributions” and “Non-U.S. Holders — Gain on Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Class A Common Stock and Private Placement Warrants,” as applicable.

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (commonly referred as the “Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act” or “FATCA”) generally impose withholding at a rate of 30% in certain circumstances on dividends in respect of our securities which are held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless any such institution (1) enters into, and complies with, an agreement with the IRS to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to interests in, and accounts maintained by, the institution that are owned by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (2) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. Accordingly, the entity through which our securities are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. Similarly, dividends in respect of our securities held by an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exceptions will generally be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity either (1) certifies to us or the applicable withholding agent that such entity does not have any “substantial United States owners” or (2) provides certain information regarding the entity’s “substantial United States owners,” which will in turn be provided to the U.S. Department of Treasury. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our securities.
