Item 8.01 Other Events

Supplemental Disclosures to Proxy Statement

As previously disclosed, on September 7, 2020 Conyers Park II Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Conyers Park”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Conyers Park, CP II Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Conyers Park, Advantage Solutions Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Karman Topco L.P., a Delaware limited partnership.

On September 28, 2020, Conyers Park received a letter (the “Stockholder Letter”) from a purported stockholder of Conyers Park claiming certain allegedly material omissions in the preliminary proxy statement filed on September 10, 2020 by Conyers Park in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together, the “Business Combination”). On October 9, 2020, Conyers Park filed the definitive proxy statement relating to the Business Combination (the “Proxy Statement”).

While Conyers Park believes that the disclosures set forth in the Proxy Statement comply fully with applicable law, in order to moot the purported stockholder’s disclosure claims in the Stockholder Letter, to avoid nuisance, cost and distraction, and to preclude any efforts to delay the closing of the Business Combination, Conyers Park has determined to voluntarily supplement the Proxy Statement with the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures set forth herein. To the contrary, Conyers Park specifically denies all allegations in the Stockholder Letter that any additional disclosure was or is required. Conyers Park believes the Stockholder Letter is without merit.

The following supplemental information should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which should be read in its entirety. All page references are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement. Underlined text shows text being added to a referenced disclosure in the Proxy Statement.

The following disclosure replaces the third paragraph under the heading “Background of the Transactions” on page 127 of the Proxy Statement.

On June 30, 2020 and July 8, 2020, Conyers Park had calls with Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, respectively, to further discuss transaction structure, financing and views on valuation, which took into consideration then-current market conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the trading multiples of companies similar to Advantage. In connection with this analysis, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and members of Conyers Park management selected publicly-traded companies in each of the U.S. consumer packaged goods, business services, information services and business outsourcing sectors for its financial analysis in connection with the proposed business combination. See “— Certain Financial Analysis” for more information.

The following disclosure replaces the fourth paragraph on page 125 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background of the Transactions”.

After the initial public offering, Conyers Park commenced an active search for prospective businesses and assets to acquire. Representatives of Conyers Park and the Sponsor contacted and were contacted by numerous individuals, financial advisors and other entities with respect to acquisition opportunities. Conyers Park initiated contact with more than 30 potential targets and/or their advisors, including both privately held assets and assets or divisions owned by publicly traded companies. Of those potential targets, Conyers Park entered into non-disclosure agreements with approximately 10 potential target business other than Advantage. Such non-disclosure agreements contained customary terms for a special purpose acquisition company and a private company target, including confidentiality provisions and use restrictions for information provided by the target and exceptions to such provisions. After entering into non-disclosure agreements, Conyers Park engaged in varying levels of additional discussions, negotiations and due diligence with these potential targets based on, among other factors, interest by, and due diligence access granted by, the potential target and terms on which these potential targets would be willing to consider a potential transaction (such as the equity valuation ascribed to the potential target). In each case, following additional discussions, negotiations and due diligence, Conyers Park ultimately determined to abandon each of its other potential acquisition opportunities either because

The following disclosure replaces the first full paragraph on page 128 of the Proxy Statement under the heading “Background of the Transactions”.

On August 29, 2020, Kirkland distributed the first draft of the Merger Agreement to Latham, counsel to Advantage. Kirkland and Latham subsequently sent first drafts of each additional transaction document. Between August 29, 2020 and September 7, 2020, Kirkland, on the one hand, and Latham, on the other hand, exchanged numerous revised drafts of the Merger Agreement and the other transaction documents, and engaged in negotiations of such documents and agreements. The various revised drafts reflected the parties’ divergent views on, among other things, certain interim operating covenants, closing conditionality, matters related to Conyers Park’s post-closing governance and shareholder rights. Over the same period of time, representatives and advisors for Advantage and its equityholders, on the one hand, and for Conyers Park on the other hand, held numerous conference calls and came to agreement on various outstanding business issues, including, among others: (a) the overall suite of representations, warranties and covenants to be provided by each party under the Merger Agreement and the related ancillary documents; and (b) the conditions to closing (including the levels of available cash at closing, after taking into account redemptions of Conyers Park’s stock). For further information related to the final resolution of the foregoing items, please see the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination — Merger Agreement.” Over the same period of time, representatives of Conyers Park and Advantage also discussed the composition of the board of the combined company. James M. Kilts, David J. West, Brian K. Ratzan and Ronald E. Blaylock, current directors of Conyers Park, will serve as directors of the combined company post-closing. The remaining Conyers Park officers and members of the Conyers Park Board will no longer serve as directors or officers of the combined company, and will not otherwise be employees of the combined company, upon consummation of the Business Combination.
