Amendment No. 3 to Form S-1 Table of Contents AB ACQUISITION LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Immediately following the Fiscal 2014 Unit Splits, certain investors and management contributed $1,250.0 million and $54.8 million, respectively, in the Company in exchange for additional ABS and NAI units. Management's contribution of $33.2 million was in connection with the termination of the Company's long-term incentive plans (-LTIPs"). The remaining contribution of $21.6 million was funded in the form of a loan from the Company to its executive officers for the purchase of 2.8 million units each of ABS units, NAI units and Safeway units and is accounted for as an equity-based compensation award. The equityholders' agreement, as amended, with the existing holders of the ABS, NAI, and Safeway units, provides, among other things, for preemptive or anti-dilution rights that entitle the unitholder the right to purchase additional units to give them the same pro rata percentage ownership in the event additional units are issued. Restrictions on the transfer of units require that a member transfer its ABS units, NAI units and Safeway units on a pan passu percentage basis to the total number of ABS units, NAI units and Safeway units to the same holder. Furthermore, if the Company enters into a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, conversion, contribution, exchange and/or other restructuring in connection with an initial public offering ("IPO"), each investor member will receive a proportionate number of shares such that the fair value of the units exchanged will equal the fair value of units received. The members' agreement, as amended, established a management board comprised of 10 voting members, representing the institutional and individual investors. In addition, each member will maintain certain voting rights commensurate with the ownership in the Company. No specific voting rights are associated with the share classes
