Reorganization Transactions

In connection with the IPO on July 20, 2017, the Company completed the following Reorganization Transactions:

·

The Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation (see “Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation” below);

·

PetIQ Holdings, LLC (“Holdco”) amended and restated its limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) (see “Holdco Recapitalization” below);

·

The Company acquired, by the contribution by certain sponsors, three entities (“Sponsor Corps”) that were owned by former indirect members of Holdco (the “Sponsors”), for which the Company issued 5,615,981 shares of Class A common stock and Preference Notes equal to $30,526 as merger consideration (the “Merger”). The only significant asset held by the Sponsor Corps prior to the Merger was 7,523,839 LLC Interests. Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company recognized the 7,523,839 LLC Interests at carrying value, as the contribution was considered to be a transaction between entities under common control;

·

The Company acquired 419,102 LLC interests in exchange for an equal number of Class A common stock from certain employee owners;

·

The Company purchased from Continuing LLC Owners 1,589,642 LLC Interests in exchange for $25,434 in preference notes;

·

The Company purchased from Continuing LLC Owners 133,334 LLC Interests in exchange for $2,133.

Following the completion of the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, PetIQ owned 61.5% of HoldCo. The remaining 38.5% of Holdco was held by the “Continuing LLC Owners,” whom the Company defines as all remaining direct and indirect owners of Holdco except for PetIQ.  As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, PetIQ became the sole managing member of Holdco and has the sole voting power in, and controls the management of, Holdco. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of Holdco and reported a non-controlling interest in its consolidated financial statements.

As the Reorganization Transactions are considered transactions between entities under common control, the financial statements for the previously separate entities have been combined for presentation purposes.

Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation

On July 20, 2017, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide for the (i) authorization of 125,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share; (ii) authorization of 8,401,521 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share; (iii) authorization of 12,500,000 shares of blank check preferred stock; and (iv) establishment of a classified board of directors, divided into three classes, each of whose members will serve for staggered three-year terms.

Each share of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock entitles its holders to one vote per share on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders generally.

Holders of the Company’s Class B common stock are not entitled to receive dividends and will not be entitled to receive any distributions upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. Shares of Class B common stock may only be issued to the extent necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratio between the number of LLC interests of Holdco held by Continuing LLC Owners. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of LLC Interests. Shares of Class B common stock will be canceled on a one-for-one basis upon the redemption or exchange any of the outstanding LLC Interests held by the Continuing LLC Owners.

The Company must, at all times, maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of LLC Interests owned by PetIQ (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).

Initial Public Offering

On July 20, 2017, the Company completed an IPO of 7,187,500 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, inclusive of the contemporaneous exercise of the underwriters option to purchase additional shares. The Company received $106,950 in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, which were used repay $55,960 in preference notes, to purchase 3,556,666 newly-issued LLC Interests from Holdco at a price per unit equal to the initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock in the IPO less underwriting discounts and commissions, and to purchase 133,334 LLC Interests and corresponding Class B common shares from entities affiliated with the Company’s CEO and President.

Immediately following the completion of the IPO and the underwriters’ exercise of their option to purchase additional shares of Class A common stock, there were 13,222,583 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 8,268,188 shares of Class B common stock outstanding.

PetIQ Holdings, LLC Recapitalization

On July 20, 2017, Holdco amended and restated the LLC Agreement (the “Recapitalization”) to, among other things, (i) provide for a new single class of common membership interests in Holdco, the LLC Interests, (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests for LLC Interests of Holdco and (iii) appoint the Company as the sole managing member of Holdco.

The LLC Agreement also provides that the Continuing LLC Owners may from time to time at each of their options require Holdco to exchange all or a portion of their LLC Interests in exchange for, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s board of directors, which includes directors who hold LLC Interests or are otherwise affiliated with holders of LLC interests), shares of the Company’s Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to a volume weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each LLC interest exchanged, in each case in accordance with the terms of the LLC Agreement; provided that, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s board of directors, which includes directors who hold LLC interests or are otherwise affiliated with holders of LLC interests), the Company may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such LLC interests. The Continuing LLC Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their LLC interests remain outstanding. Simultaneously with the payment of cash or shares of Class A common stock, as applicable, in connection with a redemption or exchange of LLC interests pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, a number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock will be cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of LLC interests so redeemed or exchanged.

The amendment also requires that Holdco, at all times, maintain (i) a one-to-one ratio between the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock and the number of LLC interests of Holdco owned by PetIQ, Inc. and (ii) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by Continuing LLC Owners and the number of LLC Interests of Holdco owned by the Continuing LLC Owners.
