Beneficial ownership of the Exchangeable Units of the issuer is being reported hereunder solely because the reporting person may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of these Exchangeable Units as a result of the relationships described under Item 2 and Item 3 and the matters described in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any of the reporting persons that it is the beneficial owner of any Exchangeable Units referred to herein for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.


Explanatory Note:

This Amendment No. 7 to the initial Statement on Schedule 13D, filed on December 22, 2014 (the “initial Schedule 13D”), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on September 25, 2015, Amendment No. 2, filed on December 7, 2015, Amendment No. 3, filed on December 16, 2015, Amendment No. 4, filed on November 1, 2017, Amendment No. 5, filed on November 13, 2017 and Amendment No. 6, filed on November 17, 2017 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”), amends and restates, where indicated, the Schedule 13D relating to the Exchangeable Units of Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership (the “Issuer”) by: (i) 3G Restaurant Brands Holdings General Partner Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“3G RBH GP”); and (ii) 3G Restaurant Brands Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“3G RBH”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 7 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D.

Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, 3G RBH delivered to the Issuer an exchange notice to exchange Exchangeable Units of the Issuer, referred to herein as the “2018 Exchange.”

This Amendment is being filed primarily to provide additional detail about the 2018 Exchange.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following language:

As noted above, 3G RBH delivered to the Issuer an exchange notice to exchange 11,106,925 Exchangeable Units held by 3G RBH. Subsequent thereto, 1,106,925 Exchangeable Units were withdrawn from the exchange notice (the “Withdrawn Units”). The exchange notice became irrevocable on October 30, 2018 with respect to 10,000,000 Exchangeable Units. The Exchangeable Units represented by the exchange notice do not include any Exchangeable Units owned directly or indirectly by the partners of 3G Capital Partners. As announced by Restaurant Brands International Inc. (“RBI”) on October 24, 2018, upon receipt of the exchange notice, RBI, in its capacity as general partner of the Issuer, elected to have the Issuer satisfy the 2018 Exchange by repurchasing 10,000,000 Exchangeable Units for cash. The 2018 Exchange will be effected as of the close of business on November 6, 2018.

The Reporting Persons currently intend to distribute the Withdrawn Units from time to time in one or more transactions to certain limited partners of 3G RBH. No assurances can be made as to the timing of any distribution of Withdrawn Units or that any such transaction will occur at all.

Other than the Withdrawn Units, the Reporting Persons also continue to hold 189,989,638 Exchangeable Units, for which they have not submitted any exchange notice. The Reporting Persons have no present plan or proposal to submit an exchange notice regarding these Exchangeable Units.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the Transactions, the 2018 Exchange and the other transactions discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no plan or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety with the following language:

(a) and (b)

As a result of the consummation of the Transactions and the subsequent transactions discussed herein, 3G RBH GP and 3G RBH beneficially own and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 189,989,638 Exchangeable Units. All Exchangeable Units numbers and percentages are based on 217,543,591 total Exchangeable Units outstanding as of October 19, 2018, according to information provided by the Issuer on its Form 10-Q filed on October 24, 2018 and after giving effect to the transactions discussed herein, including the repurchase by the Issuer of 10,000,000 Exchangeable Units. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person, other than, solely with respect to the Exchangeable Units acquired in the Transactions or subsequent transactions discussed herein by 3G RBH, that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Exchangeable Units referred to herein for purposes of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person named in Schedule A beneficially owns any Exchangeable Units.

The information set forth in Item 2 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).
