Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 (the Amendment) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by certain of the Reporting Persons (as defined below) on February 23, 2018, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on November 5, 2018 and Amendment No. 2 filed on December 10, 2018 (as amended, the Schedule 13D). The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

SLP Holdco purchased 939,996 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $204,849,429. SLP V Marquee purchased 912,811 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $227,411,826. SLTI V Marquee purchased 13,055 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $3,252,365. The source of funds for all such purchases were from general funds available to such purchaser, including capital contributions from their respective investors and/or for cash management purposes in advance of a capital call, short-term borrowings under an existing revolving credit facility to which one or more affiliates of the purchasers are parties, which amounts are expected to be repaid upon the funding of capital contributions from their respective investors.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Items 5(a), (b) and (c) are hereby amended and restated as follows:

The information contained in rows 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13 on each of the cover pages of this Amendment, the information set forth or incorporated in Items 2, 3 and 6 of this Schedule 13D, and the information set forth on Annex B attached to this Schedule 13D, are incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5.

(a)-(b) By virtue of their relationships, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). As such, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own an aggregate of 1,865,862 shares of Class A Common Stock, which includes (i) 939,996 shares of Class A Common Stock held by SLP Holdco, (ii) 912,811 shares of Class A Common Stock held by SLP V Marquee and (iii) 13,055 shares of Class A Common Stock held by SLTI V Marquee, representing in the aggregate approximately 9.7% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.

The percentages of beneficial ownership in this Schedule 13D are based on 19,222,045 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding as of October 31, 2018, as referenced in the Issuers Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2018.

Information with respect to the beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock by the managing members of SLG and SLP Marquee is set forth in Annex A-1 and Annex A-2, each as attached to the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on February 23, 2018, and incorporated herein by reference in response to this Item 5.

(c) Except as set forth in Annex B attached hereto, none of the Reporting Persons have effected any transaction with respect to the Class A Common Stock since the filing of Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D.

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

The information set forth or incorporated in Item 3 and Item 5 is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

SLP HoldCo sold exchange-traded put options, expiring on January 18, 2019 and which are currently outstanding, that give the holder the right to sell to SLP HoldCo:

10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $280.00 per share.

SLP V Marquee sold exchange-traded put options, expiring on January 18, 2019 and which are currently outstanding, that give the holder the right to sell to SLP V Marquee:

22,100 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $280.00 per share, and

2,000 shares of Class A Common Stock with an exercise price of $290.00 per share.

Approximately 1.41% of the put options held by SLP V Marquee are held for the benefit of SLTI V Marquee. The put options sold by SLP HoldCo and SLP V Marquee do not give any of the Reporting Persons direct or indirect voting, investment or dispositive control over any shares of Class A Common Stock, unless and until exercised by the holder of such put options. Accordingly, the Reporting Persons disclaim any beneficial ownership in any shares of Class A Common Stock that underlie such put options.
