Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The following disclosure assumes that there are 52,229,138 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of February 14, 2022, as in the annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2021 (the “Annual Report”).

The Madelyne Victoria Trione Trust directly holds 10,500,000 Shares, which represent approximately 20.10% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer; the Victor Henry David Trione Trust directly holds 10,500,000 shares, which represent approximately 20.10% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer; The Denise Catherine Trione 1997 Irrevocable Trust directly holds 1,260,000 Shares, which represent approximately 2.4% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer; The Sally Patricia Trione 1997 Irrevocable Trust directly holds 1,260,000 Shares, which represent approximately 2.4% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer; and The Henry Mark Trione 1997 Irrevocable Trust directly holds 1,260,000 Shares, which represent approximately 2.4% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer. Each of the aforementioned Trusts has the right to receive the dividends from, or the proceeds of, any sale of the Shares held in such Trust for the benefit of such Trust’s beneficiaries.

Mr. Hamann and Mr. Hellman are co-Trustees of each of the Trusts, except the Victor Henry David Trione Trust, with shared voting and dispositive power over all of the Shares, except the Shares held by the Victor Henry David Trione Trust. As such, each of the Trusts, except the Victor Henry David Trione Trust, may, pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Act, be considered to each beneficially own an aggregate amount of 13,020,000 Shares, which represent approximately 24.04% of the outstanding Shares of the Issuer. Each Trust disclaims beneficial ownership in the Shares held by the other Reporting Persons over which it does not have any voting and dispositive power.

Each Trustee expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the Shares and neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that either of the Trustees is the beneficial owner of the Shares.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The Trusts purchased certain of their Shares pursuant to stock purchase agreements and paid for such Shares with promissory notes secured under security agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Documents”), as described in Item 3 above.

In connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “Offering”), the Trusts and Mr. Hamann each entered into a letter agreement with Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, Inc. and Sandler O’Neill & Partners, L.P., representatives of the underwriters (the “Representatives”) underwriting the Offering (collectively, the “Lock-Up Agreements”). The Lock-Up Agreements generally prevent the Reporting Persons from selling or otherwise transferring their Shares for a period of 180 days after the date of the prospectus relating to the initial public offering filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 27, 2017 (the “Prospectus”) without the prior written approval of the Representatives. The Lock Up Agreements are subject to certain exceptions. The description of the Lock-Up Agreements contained herein is a summary of, and is subject to and qualified by reference to, the provisions of the form of Lock-Up Agreement incorporated by reference herein and attached as an exhibit to the Form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to the Issuer’s Prospectus.

Mr. Hamann and Mr. Hellman are co-Trustees of each of the Trusts, except the Victor Henry David Trione Trust, with shared voting and dispositive power over all of the Shares.

To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, other than the Purchase Documents, the Lock-Up Agreements, and the Trustees’ shared voting and dispositive power over all of the Shares, there are no other contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Persons or any other persons named in response to Item 2 hereof and between such persons and any person with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities of the Issuer, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
