On February 4, 2015, Shake Shack Inc. (the “Company”) closed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 5,750,000 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), at an offering price of $21.00 per share, pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-201271), as amended (the “Registration Statement”).  In connection therewith and with the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into the following agreements previously filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement:

·                  a Tax Receivable Agreement, dated February 4, 2015, by and among the Company, SSE Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company (“SSE Holdings”), and each of the Members (as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement) from time to time party thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference;

·                  a Registration Rights Agreement, dated February 4, 2015, by and among the Company and each other person identified on the schedule of investors attached thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference;

Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, the Company issued to the existing holders of SSE Holdings’ membership interests 30,160,694 shares of Class B common stock of the Company, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class B Common Stock”).  Certain of these holders subsequently exchanged their indirect interest in the 5,968,841 shares of Class B Common Stock (and a like amount of SSE Holdings’ membership interests) for 5,968,841 shares of our Class A Common Stock.  Holders of our Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by law. Each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock will entitle its holder to one vote per share on all such matters.  The description in Item 5.03 below of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is incorporated herein by reference.  The issuances of the Class B Common Stock and the Class A Common Stock described in this paragraph were made in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder.
