Reorganization Transactions

In connection with the IPO on October 6, 2016, 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);

·

CWGS, LLC amended and restated the limited liability company agreement of CWGS, LLC (the “LLC Agreement”) (see “CWGS, LLC Recapitalization” below); and

·

The Company acquired, by merger, an entity that was owned by former indirect members of CWGS, LLC (the “Former Equity Owners”), for which the Company issued 7,063,716 shares of Class A common stock as merger consideration (the “CWH BR Merger”). The only significant asset held by the merged entity prior to the CWH BR Merger was 7,063,716 common units of CWGS, LLC and a corresponding number of shares of CWH Class B common stock. Upon consummation of the CWH BR Merger, the Company canceled the 7,063,716 shares of Class B common stock and recognized the 7,063,716 of common units of CWGS, LLC at carrying value, as the CWH BR Merger was considered to be a transaction between entities under common control.

Following the completion of the Reorganization Transactions and IPO, CWH owned 22.6% of CWGS, LLC. The remaining 77.4% of CWGS, LLC was held by the “Continuing Equity Owners,” whom the Company defines as collectively, ML Acquisition Company, a Delaware limited liability company, indirectly owned by each of Stephen Adams and the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Lemonis ("ML Acquisition”), funds controlled by Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and, collectively, the Company’s named executive officers (excluding Marcus Lemonis), Andris A. Baltins and K. Dillon Schickli, who are members of the Company’s board of directors, and certain other current and former non-executive employees and former directors, in each case, who held profit units in CWGS, LLC pursuant to CWGS, LLC’s equity incentive plan that was in existence prior to the Company’s IPO and who received common units of CWGS, LLC in exchange for their profit units in connection with the Reorganization Transactions (collectively, the “Former Profit Unit Holders”) and each of their permitted transferees that own common units in CWGS, LLC and who may redeem at each of their options their common units for, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s independent directors (within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange) who are disinterested), cash or shares of the Company’s Class A common stock. As a result of the Reorganization Transactions, CWH became the sole managing member of CWGS, LLC and, although CWH had a minority economic interest in CWGS, LLC, CWH had the sole voting power in, and controlled the management of, CWGS, LLC. Accordingly, the Company consolidated the financial results of CWGS, LLC 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 periods prior to the IPO and Reorganization Transactions have been adjusted to combine the previously separate entities for presentation purposes.

Amendment and Restatement of Certificate of Incorporation

On October 6, 2016, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other things, provide for the (i) authorization of 250,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share; (ii) authorization of 75,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share; (iii) authorization of one share of Class C common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share; (iv) authorization of 20,000,000 shares of undesignated preferred stock that may be issued from time to time by the Company’s Board of Directors in one or more series; and (v) 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; provided that, for as long as ML Acquisition Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, indirectly owned by each of Stephen Adams and the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Lemonis, and its permitted transferees of common units (collectively, the “ML Related Parties”), directly or indirectly, beneficially own in the aggregate 27.5% or more of all of the outstanding common units of CWGS, LLC, the shares of Class B common stock held by the ML Related Parties will entitle the ML Related Parties to the number of votes necessary such that the ML Related Parties, in the aggregate, cast 47% of the total votes eligible to be cast by all of the Company’s stockholders on all matters presented to a vote of the Company’s stockholders generally. Additionally, the one share of Class C common stock entitles its holder to the number of votes necessary such that the holder casts 5% of the total votes eligible to be cast by all of the Company’s stockholders on all matters presented to a vote of the Company’s stockholders generally. The one share of Class C common stock is owned by ML RV Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, wholly owned by the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Marcus Lemonis.

Holders of the Company’s Class B and Class C 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 common units of CWGS, LLC held by funds controlled by Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and the ML Related Parties (the “Class B Common Owners”) and the number of shares of Class B common stock held by the Class B Common Owners. Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only together with an equal number of common units of CWGS, LLC. Only permitted transferees of common units held by the Class B Common Owners will be permitted transferees of Class B common stock. Shares of Class B common stock will be canceled on a one-for-one basis upon the redemption or exchange any of the outstanding common units of CWGS, LLC held by the Class B Common Owners. Upon the occurrence of certain change in control events, the Class C common stock shall no longer have any voting rights, such share of the Company’s Class C common stock will be cancelled for no consideration and will be retired, and the Company will not reissue such share of Class C common stock.

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 common units of CWGS, LLC owned by CWH (subject to certain exceptions for treasury shares and shares underlying certain convertible or exchangeable securities).

Initial Public Offering

On October 13, 2016, the Company completed an IPO of 11,363,636 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a public offering price of $22.00 per share. The Company received $233.4 million in proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, which were used to purchase 11,363,636 newly-issued common units from CWGS, LLC 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. In addition, on November 4, 2016, the underwriters exercised their option, in part, to purchase an additional 508,564 shares of Class A common stock. On November 9, 2016, the Company closed on the purchase of the additional 508,564 shares of Class A common stock and received $10.4 million in additional proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, which were used to purchase 508,564 newly-issued common units from CWGS, LLC 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.

CWGS, LLC Recapitalization

On October 6, 2016, CWGS, LLC amended and restated the LLC Agreement (the “Recapitalization”) to, among other things, (i) provide for a new single class of common membership interests in CWGS, LLC, the common units, and (ii) exchange all of the then-existing membership interests of ML Acquisition, funds controlled by Crestview Partners II GP, L.P. and the Former Profit Unit Holders (collectively, the “Original Equity Owners”) for common units of CWGS, LLC.

The LLC Agreement also provides that the Continuing Equity Owners may from time to time at each of their options require CWGS, LLC to redeem all or a portion of their common units in exchange for, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s independent directors (within the meaning of the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) who are disinterested), 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 common unit redeemed, in each case in accordance with the terms of the CWGS LLC Agreement; provided that, at the Company’s election (determined solely by the Company’s independent directors (within the meaning of the rules of the NYSE) who are disinterested), the Company may effect a direct exchange of such Class A common stock or such cash, as applicable, for such common units. The Continuing Equity Owners may exercise such redemption right for as long as their common units 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 common units pursuant to the terms of the CWGS LLC Agreement, a number of shares of the Company’s Class B common stock registered in the name of the redeeming or exchanging Class B Common Owners will be cancelled for no consideration on a one-for-one basis with the number of common units so redeemed or exchanged.

The amendment also requires that CWGS, LLC, 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 common units of CWGS, LLC owned by CWH and (ii) a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class B common stock owned by the Class B Common Owners and the number of common units of CWGS, LLC owned by the Class B Common Owners.
