On October 23, 2020, Advantage Sales & Marketing Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Advantage, priced its previously disclosed new secured first lien term loan credit facility and new asset-based revolving credit facility (collectively, the “New Senior Secured Credit Facilities”) and senior secured notes due 2028 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes are being offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The material pricing terms of the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Secured Notes are incorporated by reference herein and filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1. The closing of the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Secured Notes is expected to close substantially concurrently with or prior to the closing of the Merger, subject to customary closing conditions. There can be no assurance that the closing of the New Senior Secured Credit Facilities or the Senior Secured Notes will be consummated on this timeline or at all.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or Conyers Park’s or the Company’s future financial or operating performance, such as statements regarding the expected benefits of the proposed business combination, the timing and financing of the business combination, and expected future operating results. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by Conyers Park and its management, and the Company and its management, as the case may be, are

inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of negotiations and any subsequent definitive agreements with respect to the business combination; (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against Conyers Park, the combined company or others following the announcement of the business combination and any definitive agreements with respect thereto; (3) the inability to complete the Business combination due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of Conyers Park, to obtain financing to complete the Business combination or to satisfy other conditions to closing; (4) changes to the proposed structure of the Business combination that may be required or appropriate as a result of applicable laws or regulations or as a condition to obtaining regulatory approval of the business combination; (5) the ability to meet stock exchange listing standards following the consummation of the business combination; (6) the risk that the business combination disrupt current plans and operations of the Company as a result of the announcement and consummation of the business combination; (7) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of the combined company to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers and suppliers and retain its management and key employees; (8) costs related to the business combination; (9) changes in applicable laws or regulations; (10) the possibility that the Company or the combined company may be adversely affected by other economic, business, and/or competitive factors; (11) the Company’s estimates of expenses and profitability; and (12) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in Conyers Park’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
