This Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 20, 2016, as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 filed on September 18, 2018 (as so amended, the “Original Schedule 13D” and, as amended and supplemented by this Amendment, the “Schedule 13D”), with respect to the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001, of the Issuer (the “Common Stock”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment and not otherwise defined shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Original Schedule 13D.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

This Amendment amends and restates the second and third paragraphs of Item 2 of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as set forth below:

“Group Advisors is the general partner of TPG Group Holdings (SBS), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is the sole member of TPG Holdings II-A, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of TPG Holdings II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is the sole member of TPG VI AIV SLP SD Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of TPG VI AIV SLP SD, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which is the managing member of Nexeo Holdco, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Nexeo Holdco”), which directly held shares of Common Stock. TPG Advisors VI is the general partner of each of (i) TPG VI Neon I, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Neon I”), which directly held shares of Common Stock, (ii) TPG VI Neon II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Neon II”), which directly held shares of Common Stock, (iii) TPG VI FOF Neon, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG FOF Neon” and, together with Nexeo Holdco, TPG Neon I and TPG Neon II, the “TPG Funds”), which directly held shares of Common Stock.

Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter are sole shareholders of each of Group Advisors and TPG Advisors VI. Because of the relationship of Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter to each of Group Advisors and TPG Advisors VI, each of Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter may have been deemed to have beneficially owned the shares of Common Stock held by the TPG Funds. Messrs. Bonderman and Coulter disclaim beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.”

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

This Amendment amends and supplements Item 4 of the Original Schedule 13D by including the following before the penultimate paragraph:

“On February 28, 2019, the Mergers closed. Pursuant to the Univar Merger Agreement, the TPG Funds were entitled to receive, in exchange for each share of Common Stock owned by them immediately prior to the Mergers, $3.02 in cash and 0.305 of a share of common stock of the Parent; in addition, the right of the TPG Funds to receive deferred payments in cash in lieu of receiving the Excess Shares was accelerated. Therefore, pursuant to the Univar Merger Agreement, the TPG Funds received, as merger consideration, an aggregate of $94,041,341.34 in cash and 9,497,550 shares of common stock of the Parent (plus cash in lieu of fractional shares), as well as an aggregate of $52,459,643.46 of deferred payments in lieu of receiving the Excess Shares. As a result of the closing of the Mergers, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.”

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

This Amendment amends and restates the second and third paragraphs of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in their entirety as set forth below:

“(a)-(b) As a result of the closing of the Mergers, the Reporting Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.”

This Amendment amends and restates the sixth paragraph of Item 5 of the Original Schedule 13D in its entirety as set forth below:

“(e) As a result of the closing of the Mergers, on February 28, 2019 the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the shares of Common Stock.”
