SCHEDULE 13D
CUSIP No. 407497 106

In connection with the closing of the Issuer’s initial public offering (the “IPO”) of the Issuer’s Class A common stock, the Issuer effected certain reorganization transactions. The Issuer entered into an exchange agreement with the continuing members of HLA pursuant to which such members will be entitled to exchange their Class B units or Class C units (each as defined in the exchange agreement), together with an equal number of shares of Class B common stock in the case of Class B units for an equal number of shares of the Issuer’s Class A common stock or, at the Issuer’s election, for cash, subject to timing and procedural requirements set forth therein.

Pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement dated as of March 6, 2017 among the Issuer and the Reporting Persons (the “Stockholders Agreement”), the Reporting Persons have agreed to vote all shares of the Issuer’s voting stock, including the Class A common stock and Class B common stock, then held by them together on all matters submitted to the Issuer’s common stockholders in the manner directed by HLAI. The Issuer’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on substantially all matters submitted to our stockholders for approval. The Class A common stock carries one vote per share, and the Class B common stock currently carries ten votes per share. The Issuer’s certificate of incorporation contemplates a “Sunset” becoming effective upon the occurrence of one of a series of enumerated events or transactions involving certain Reporting Persons. After a Sunset becomes effective, the Class B common stock will carry one vote per share, and the Stockholders Agreement will terminate. The Reporting Persons currently hold a majority of the outstanding Class B common stock, and collectively control approximately 91% of the combined voting power of the Issuer’s common stock.

Based on the number of shares of Class A common stock (19,090,709) issued and outstanding as of March 16, 2017, the date of this report, and assuming all outstanding Class B units and Class C units beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were exchanged for newly-issued shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. On March 14, 2017, the Issuer awarded 238,954 shares of restricted Class A common stock to employees as part of its ordinary course annual equity grant cycle, including a total of 131,574 shares of restricted Class A common stock to employee Reporting Persons, which are reflected in this report.
(2)
Sales by Reporting Persons who are members of HLAI are reported as direct sales for purposes of this column. See Item 5(c) below.

(c) On March 6, 2017, the Issuer used a portion of the proceeds from the IPO to purchase membership interests in HLA from certain members of HLA, including those indicated above, in the quantities set forth in the table above, at a price equivalent to $14.88 per HLA Unit.
 
(d) Other than as described above, no other person is known to have the right to receive and the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Class A common stock beneficially owned by members of the group.
 
(e) Not applicable.
 
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
 
In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Issuer effectuated certain reorganization transactions pursuant to which existing members of HLA, including certain of the reporting persons, obtained beneficial ownership of Class B units and Class C units of the Issuer.

Pursuant to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of HLA dated as of March 6, 2017 (the “HLA Operating Agreement”) and the exchange agreement described above, the Reporting Persons may exchange their Class B units and Class C units for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, or at the Issuer’s election, for cash, subject to timing and procedural requirements set forth therein. When a Class B unit is exchanged for a share of Class A common stock, a corresponding share of the Issuer’s Class B common stock will automatically be redeemed by the Issuer at par value and canceled. When a Class B unit or Class C unit is exchanged for a share of Class A common stock, it will not be available for reissuance by the Issuer.

The exchange agreement contains certain timing and volume limitations on exchanges of units held by the Issuer’s senior employees, including the Reporting Persons: no exchanges will be permitted until after the first anniversary of the closing date of the IPO, and then exchanges may not exceed one-third of their original holdings prior to the second anniversary of the closing and two-thirds of their original holdings prior to the third anniversary. After the third anniversary of the closing date, these limitations expire.

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into by and among the Issuer, certain holders of Class B units and certain holders of Class C units, at any time after the expiration of the lock-up period described below, such holders can require the Issuer to register for resale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares of Class A common

stock issued upon exchange of the Class B units and Class C units. The registration rights agreement also provides for customary piggyback rights.

     Each of HLAI, HRHLA, Hartley R. Rogers, Mario L. Giannini, O. Griffith Sexton, HLA Inc., and each Management Investor have entered into lock-up agreements pursuant to which they have agreed that, prior to August 28, 2017, they will not, without the prior written consent of J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, dispose of or hedge any shares of the Issuer’s common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Issuer’s common stock, subject to certain customary exceptions.
 
The Issuer entered into a tax receivable agreement with its pre-IPO members effective as of the closing of the IPO that provides for the payment by the Issuer to the members of HLA of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that the Issuer actually realizes (or in some circumstances is deemed to realize) as a result of increases in tax basis (and certain other tax benefits) resulting from purchases or exchanges of membership units of HLA. See Exhibit 4.

In connection with the IPO, the Reporting Persons and other members of HLAI have entered into a stockholders agreement pursuant to which they agreed to vote all their shares of voting stock, including Class A and Class B common stock, together and in accordance with the instructions of HLAI on any matter submitted to the common stockholders of the Issuer for a vote. Under the stockholders agreement, the Reporting Persons have given an irrevocable proxy, coupled with an interest, to HLAI to vote such Reporting Person’s shares of Class A and Class B common stock.
 
The foregoing summaries do not purport to be complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the form of lock-up agreement, the HLA Operating Agreement, the tax receivable agreement, the exchange agreement, the registration rights agreement and the stockholders agreement, filed herewith as Exhibits 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 respectively and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Other than the matters disclosed in this Schedule 13D, none of the Reporting Persons is party to any contracts, arrangements, understandings, or relationships with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
