Preliminary Note

This Amendment No. 2, dated January 20, 2016 (this "Amendment No. 2"), supplements and amends the Schedule 13D filed on February 17, 2015 (as amended and supplemented to date, the "Schedule 13D") relating to shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "A-Common"), of Shake Shack Inc. (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 2 and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction

Pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2015, as amended, by and among the Issuer, the Reporting Person, Daniel Meyer, Gramercy Tavern Corp. ("GT"), Union Square Hospitality Group, LLC and Daniel H. Meyer 2012 Gift Trust (collectively, the "Meyer Stockholders") and other signatories party thereto, the Meyer Stockholders have the right to cause all of the shares of the Reporting Person and GT to be converted into and exchanged for shares of the Issuer's A-Common pursuant to a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Meyer Stockholders made such an election with respect to the Reporting Person.  To effect the reorganization under 368(a) of the Code, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer merged with and into the Reporting Person, which then merged with and into the Issuer, resulting in (i) cancellation of the shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "B-Common"), of the Issuer held by the Reporting Person, (ii) transfer of the common membership interests in SSE Holdings, LLC (the "LLC Interests") held by the Reporting Person to the Issuer, and (iii) the conversion and exchange of common stock of the Reporting Person held by the shareholders of the Reporting Person for shares of A-Common.

On December 24, 2015 (the “First Effective Time”), SSI USC Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger Sub”), and the Reporting Person entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger #1).

A Certificate of Merger was filed with the New York State Department of State Division of Corporations on the First Effective Time.

On December 28, 2015 (the “Second Effective Time”), the Reporting Person and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger #2).

(b)The Surviving Entity shall promptly notify the Indemnitors in writing upon receipt of notice of any Tax audits, examinations, or assessments that could give rise to indemnification with respect to Tax matters, and of any other matters which could give rise to Losses indemnifiable hereunder. The Indemnitors shall have the right, upon timely notice to the Surviving Entity, to control, at their own expense, the portion of (i) any such audit, examination, or proceeding (including court proceedings) that relates to Taxes, or (ii) any other matter which could give rise to Losses indemnifiable hereunder (each of (i) and (ii), a “Indemnification Proceeding”) and for which it could be liable under this Agreement.

To the extent that any such audit, examination, proceeding, or other matter does not relate to Taxes for which the Indemnitors could be liable, the Indemnitors shall, at their own expense, have the opportunity to participate in any such audit, examination, proceeding, or other matter, limited solely to the portion of such audit, examination, proceeding, or other matter with respect to which indemnity is provided under this Agreement. Neither Parent nor the Surviving Entity shall resolve, settle, compromise, or abandon any issue or claim that would adversely affect any Tax or other liability of

3

the Indemnitors without the prior written consent of the Indemnitors, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld or delayed.

(d)Arbitration of Disputes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any controversy, dispute, or claim between the Parties arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement or any agreement or other instrument executed pursuant hereto (except as specifically provided otherwise in any such other agreement) or otherwise arising out of the execution of any of the foregoing, including any claim based on contract, tort, or statute, shall be determined, at the request of either Party, by arbitration conducted in the English language in New York, New York in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the NY Code - Civil Practice Law and Rules, Article 75 and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, in accordance with the Rules for Commercial Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, as amended and in effect on the date the demand for such arbitration is filed with the American Arbitration Association.
