SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED DECEMBER 11, 2015

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

SUMMIT MATERIALS, LLC

SUMMIT MATERIALS FINANCE CORP.

Offer to Exchange (the “exchange offer”)

$300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “exchange notes”), which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for any and all outstanding 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023 issued on November 19, 2015 (the “outstanding notes” and, together with the exchange notes, the “notes”).

On July 8, 2015, we issued $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “existing notes”). The notes and the existing notes have identical terms and are treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture governing the notes and the existing notes. The existing notes are freely tradable as a result of a registered exchange offer that was consummated on September 9, 2015. Any exchange notes or any notes that otherwise become freely tradable are expected to trade under the same CUSIP with the existing notes that were part of registered exchange offer consummated in September 2015.

The exchange notes will be joint and several obligations of Summit Materials, LLC and Summit Materials Finance Corp. and will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under our existing senior secured credit facilities, the existing notes and the outstanding notes.

We are conducting the exchange offer in order to provide you with an opportunity to exchange your unregistered outstanding notes for freely tradable exchange notes that have been registered under the Securities Act.

The Exchange Offer

• We will exchange all outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn for an equal principal amount of exchange notes that are freely tradable.

• You may withdraw tenders of outstanding notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

• The exchange offer expires at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                , 2016, which is the 21st business day after the date of this prospectus, unless extended. We do not currently intend to extend the expiration date.

• The exchange of the outstanding notes for the exchange notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

• The terms of the exchange notes to be issued in the exchange offer are substantially identical to the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will be freely tradable.

Results of the Exchange Offer

• The exchange notes may be sold in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions or through a combination of such methods. We do not plan to list the exchange notes on a national market.

All untendered outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the indenture. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, we do not currently anticipate that we will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.

You should carefully consider the “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 of this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer.

Each broker dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired as a result of market making activities or other trading activities.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the exchange notes to be distributed in the exchange offer or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is                     , 2015.

You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different information. This prospectus may be used only for the purposes for which it has been published and no person has been authorized to give any information not contained herein. If you receive any other information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer of these securities in any state where the offer is not permitted.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus and does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the section entitled “Risk Factors” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus, before participating in the exchange offer.

Our Company

We are one of the fastest growing construction materials companies in the United States, with a 197% increase in revenue between the year ended December 31, 2010 and the year ended December 27, 2014, as compared to an average increase of approximately 38% in revenue reported by our competitors over the same period. Our materials include aggregates, which we supply across the country, with a focus on Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, and cement, which we supply primarily in Missouri, Iowa and along the Mississippi River. Within our markets, we offer customers a single-source provider for construction materials and related downstream products through our vertical integration. In addition to supplying aggregates to customers, we use our materials internally to produce ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix, which may be sold externally or used in our paving and related services businesses. Our vertical integration creates opportunities to increase aggregates volumes, optimize margin at each stage of production and provide customers with efficiency gains, convenience and reliability, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage.

Since our first acquisition more than six years ago, we have rapidly become a major participant in the U.S. construction materials industry. We believe that, by volume, we are a top 10 aggregates supplier, a top 15 cement producer and a major producer of ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix. Our revenue in 2014 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, with net losses for the same periods of $6.3 million and $45.4 million, respectively. Our proven and probable aggregates reserves were 2.1 billion tons as of September 26, 2015. In the twelve months ended September 26, 2015 we sold 31.7 million tons of aggregates, 1.4 million tons of cement, 3.3 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete and 4.4 million tons of asphalt paving mix across our more than 200 sites and plants.

Our rapid growth achieved over the last six years has been due in large part to our acquisitions, which we funded with equity and debt financing. During this period, we witnessed a cyclical decline and slow recovery in the private construction market and nominal growth in public infrastructure spending. However, the private construction market is beginning to rebound, which we believe signals the outset of a strong growth period in our industry and end markets. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on this anticipated recovery to grow our business and reduce our leverage over time. As of September 26, 2015, our total indebtedness was approximately $1,260.8 million, or $1,407.0 million after giving effect to the private offering of the outstanding notes and the use of proceeds therefrom.

The private construction market includes residential and nonresidential new construction and the repair and remodel market. According to the Portland Cement Association (“PCA”), the number of total housing starts in the United States, a leading indicator for our residential business, is expected to grow 40% from 2015 to 2019. In addition, the PCA projects that spending in private nonresidential construction will grow 26% over the same period. The private construction market represented 56% of our revenue in both the year ended December 27, 2014 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

Public infrastructure, which includes spending by federal, state and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports and other public infrastructure projects, has been a relatively stable portion of government budgets providing consistent demand to our industry and is projected by the PCA to grow approximately 12% from 2014 to 2017. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, we expect U.S. infrastructure spending to grow over

1

the long term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase. Despite this projected growth, we do not believe it will be consistent across the United States, but will instead be concentrated in certain regions. The public infrastructure market represented 44% of our revenue in both the year ended December 27, 2014 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

In addition to the anticipated growth in our end markets, we expect higher volume and pricing in our core product categories. The PCA estimates that cement consumption will increase approximately 15% from 2014 to 2017, reflecting rising demand in the major end markets. At the same time, we believe that cement pricing will be driven higher by tightening production capacity in the United States, where the PCA projects consumption will exceed domestic cement capacity by 2017 driven by both increasing demand and by capacity constraints arising from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (“EPA”) National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (“NESHAP”) regulation for Portland Cement Plants (“PC-MACT”), with which compliance was required in September 2015, notwithstanding certain extensions granted to individual cement plants to September 2016.

Historically, we have sought to supplement organic growth potential with acquisitions, by strategically targeting attractive, new markets or expanding in existing markets. We consider population trends, employment rates, competitive landscape, private construction outlook, public funding and various other factors prior to entering a new market. In addition to analyzing macroeconomic data, we seek to establish a top position in our local markets, which we believe supports sustainable organic growth and attractive returns. This positioning provides local economies of scale and synergies, which benefit our pricing, costs and profitability. We believe that each of our operating companies has a top three market share position in its local market.

Our acquisition strategy, to date, has helped us to achieve scale and rapid growth, and we believe that significant opportunities remain for growth through acquisitions. We estimate that approximately 65% of the U.S. construction materials market is privately owned. From this group, our senior management team maintains contact with over 300 private companies. These long-standing relationships, cultivated over decades, have been the primary source for our past acquisitions and, we believe, will be a key driver of our future growth. We believe the value proposition we offer to potential sellers has made us a buyer of choice and has enabled us to largely avoid competitive auctions and instead negotiate directly with sellers at attractive valuations.

Our Regional Platforms

We operate in 19 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada and currently have assets in 18 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada through our three regional platforms that make up our operating segments: West; Central; and East. Each of our operating businesses has its own management team that, in turn, reports to a regional president who is responsible for overseeing the operating businesses, developing growth opportunities, implementing best practices and integrating acquired businesses. Acquisitions are an important element of our strategy, as we seek to enhance value through increased scale and cost savings within local markets.

West Region. Our West region includes operations in Texas, the Mountain states of Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming and in British Columbia, Canada. We supply aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services in the West region. As of September 26, 2015, the West region controlled approximately 0.7 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves and $423.0 million of net property, plant and equipment and inventories (“hard assets”). During the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 55% of our revenue and approximately 49% of our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding corporate charges, were generated in the West region. In 2014, we expanded the West region’s operations with key acquisitions providing significant growth in Texas as well as the establishment of a new platform in British Columbia, Canada.

Central Region. Our Central region extends across the Midwestern United States, most notably in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and along the Mississippi River, where we supply aggregates, cement, ready-mixed

2

concrete, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services. As of September 26, 2015, the Central region controlled approximately 1.0 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves, approximately 0.5 billion of which serve its cement business, and $824.4 million of hard assets. During the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 33% of our revenue and approximately 42% of our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding corporate charges, were generated in the Central region.

Our cement business consists of our Hannibal, Missouri and Davenport, Iowa cement plants and eight distribution terminals along the Mississippi River from Minnesota to Louisiana. The Hannibal, Missouri plant was commissioned in 2008 and is a highly efficient, technologically advanced, integrated manufacturing and distribution system strategically located 100 miles north of St. Louis along the Mississippi River. We utilize an on-site solid and liquid waste fuel processing facility, which can reduce the plant’s fuel costs by up to 50% and is one of only 12 facilities in the United States with such capabilities. In July 2015, we acquired the cement plant in Davenport, Iowa and seven distribution terminals along the Mississippi River. The Davenport cement plant primarily serves markets in Missouri, Iowa and along the Mississippi River. Our production capacity approximately doubled with the acquisition of the Davenport Assets. See “—The Davenport Acquisition.”

East Region. Our East region serves markets in Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, where we supply aggregates, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services. As of September 26, 2015, the East region controlled approximately 0.4 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves and $157.4 million of hard assets. During the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 12% of our revenue and approximately 9% of our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding corporate charges, were generated in the East region.

Our Competitive Strengths

Leading market positions. We believe each of our operating companies has a top three market share position in its local market area achieved through their respective, extensive operating histories, averaging over 35 years. We believe we are a top 10 supplier of aggregates, a top 15 producer of cement and a major producer of ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix in the United States by volume. We focus on acquiring companies that have leading local market positions in aggregates, which we seek to enhance by building scale with other local aggregates and downstream products and services. The construction materials industry is highly local in nature due to transportation costs from the high weight-to-value ratio of the products. Given this dynamic, we believe achieving local market scale provides a competitive advantage that drives growth and profitability for our business. We believe that our ability to prudently acquire, improve and rapidly integrate multiple businesses has enabled, and will continue to enable, us to become market leaders.

Operations positioned to benefit from attractive industry fundamentals. We believe the construction materials industry has attractive fundamentals, characterized by high barriers to entry and a stable competitive environment in the majority of markets. Barriers to entry are created by scarcity of raw material resources, limited efficient distribution range, asset intensity of equipment, land required for quarry operations and a time-consuming and complex regulatory and permitting process. According to the April 2014 U.S. Geological Survey, aggregates pricing in the United States had increased in 65 of the previous 70 years, with growth accelerating since 2002 as continuing resource scarcity in the industry has led companies to focus increasingly on improved pricing strategies.

One significant factor that allows for pricing growth in periods of volume declines is that aggregates and asphalt paving mix have significant exposure to public road construction, which has demonstrated growth over the past 30 years, even during times of broader economic weakness. The majority of public road construction spending is funded at the state level through the states’ respective departments of transportation. The five key states in which we operate (Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri) have funds with certain constitutional protections for revenue sources dedicated for transportation projects. These dedicated, earmarked funding sources limit the negative effect current state deficits may have on public spending. As a result, we believe our business’ profitability is significantly more stable than most other building product subsectors.

Vertically-integrated business model. We generate revenue across a spectrum of related products and services. We internally supply approximately 80% of the aggregates used in the ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mixes that we produce and the asphalt paving mix that our paving crews lay. Our vertically-integrated business model enables us to operate as a single source provider of materials and paving and related services, creating cost, convenience and reliability advantages for our customers, while at the same time creating significant cross-marketing opportunities among our interrelated businesses. We believe this creates opportunities to increase aggregates volumes, optimize margin at each stage of production, foster more stable demand for aggregates through a captive demand outlet, create a competitive advantage through the efficiency gains, convenience and reliability provided to customers and enhance our acquisition strategy by allowing a greater range of target companies.

Attractive diversity, scale and product portfolio. Our three regional platforms operate across 19 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada in 33 metropolitan statistical areas. Between the year ended December 31, 2010 and the twelve months ended September 26, 2015, we grew our revenue by 237% and brought substantial additional scale and geographic diversity to our operations. A combination of increased scale and vertical integration enabled us to improve profitability with Adjusted EBITDA margins increasing 490 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the twelve months ended September 26, 2015. In the twelve months ended September 26, 2015, 95% of EBITDA was derived from materials and products, with 61% coming from materials, 34% from products and the remaining 5% of EBITDA being derived from services. We have

5

approximately 2.1 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves serving our aggregates and cement business. Assuming production rates in future years are equal to those in 2014, we estimate that the useful life of our proven and probable reserves serving our aggregates and cement businesses are approximately 70 years and 300 years, respectively.

Our dry process cement plant in Hannibal, Missouri was commissioned in 2008 and our Davenport, Iowa plant was commissioned in 1981. These large capacity cement plants have technologically advanced manufacturing capabilities. According to PCA forecasts, consumption of cement in the United States is expected to exceed production capacity by the year 2017, creating opportunities for existing cement plants. Our plants are strategically located on the Mississippi River and, consequently, in 2014, approximately 58% and 32% of cement sold from the Hannibal and Davenport plants, respectively, was shipped by barge, which is generally more cost-effective than truck transport.

Proven ability to incorporate new acquisitions and grow businesses. Since July 2009, we have acquired 37 companies, successfully integrating the businesses into three regions through the implementation of operational improvements, industry-proven information technology systems, a comprehensive safety program and best in class management programs. A typical acquisition generally involves retaining the local management team of the acquired business, maintaining operational decisions at the local level and providing strategic insights and leadership directed by Tom Hill, our President and Chief Executive Officer, a 30-year industry veteran. These acquisitions have helped us achieve significant revenue growth, from $0.4 billion in 2010 to $1.2 billion in 2014.

Experienced and proven leadership driving organic growth and acquisition strategy. Our management team, led by Mr. Hill, has a proven track record of creating value. In addition to Mr. Hill, our management team, including corporate and regional operations managers, corporate development, finance executives and other heavy side industry operators, has extensive experience in the industry. Our management team has a track record of executing and successfully integrating acquisitions in the sector. Mr. Hill and his team successfully executed a similar consolidation strategy at another company in the industry, where Mr. Hill led the integration of 173 acquisitions worth, in the aggregate, approximately $6.3 billion, taking the business from less than $0.3 billion to $7.4 billion in sales from 1992 to 2008.

Our Business Strategy

Capitalize on expected recovery in U.S. economy and construction markets. The residential and nonresidential markets are starting to show positive growth signs in varying degrees across our markets. The PCA forecasts total housing starts to accelerate to 1.58 million in the United States by 2019. The American Institute of Architects’ Consensus Construction Forecast projects nonresidential construction to grow 8.1% in 2015. We believe that we have sufficient exposure to the residential and nonresidential end markets to benefit from a potential recovery in all of our markets. In 2014, approximately 83% of our revenue was derived from Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri. Across these states, Department of Transportation (“DOT”) budgets grew a combined 9.8% from 2014 to 2015. Given the nation’s aging infrastructure and considering longstanding historical spending trends, we expect U.S. infrastructure investment to grow over time. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase in investment.

Expand local positions in the most attractive markets through targeted capital investments and bolt-on acquisitions. We plan to expand our business through organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions in each of ourlocal markets. Our acquisition strategy involves acquiring platforms that serve as the foundation for continued incremental and complementary growth via locally situated bolt-on acquisitions to these platforms. We believe that increased local market scale will drive profitable growth. Our existing platform of operations is expected to enable us to grow significantly as we expand in our existing markets. In pursuing our growth strategy, we believe

6

that our balance sheet and liquidity position will enable us to acquire most of the bolt-on acquisitions and platforms that we seek to purchase, but we may also pursue larger acquisition transactions that may require us to raise additional equity capital and indebtedness. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisition opportunities, including ones that would be significant to us. We cannot predict the timing of any contemplated transactions.

Drive profitable growth through strategic acquisitions. Our goal is to become a top-five U.S. construction materials company through the successful execution of our acquisition strategy and implementation of best practices to drive organic growth. Based on aggregates sales, in volumes, we believe that we are currently a top-ten player, which we achieved within five years of our first acquisition. We believe that the relative fragmentation of our industry creates an environment in which we can continue to acquire companies at attractive valuations and increase scale and diversity over time through strategic acquisitions in markets adjacent to our existing markets within the states where we currently operate, as well as into additional states as market and competitive conditions support further growth.

Enhance margins and free cash flow generation through implementation of operational improvements. Our management team includes individuals with decades of experience in our industry and proven success in integrating acquired businesses and organically growing operations. This experience represents a significant source of value to us that has driven Adjusted EBITDA margins up 490 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the twelve months ended September 26, 2015. These margin improvements are accomplished through proven profit optimization plans, leveraging information technology and financial systems to control costs, managing working capital, achieving scale-driven purchasing synergies and fixed overhead control and reduction. Our regional presidents, supported by our central operations, risk management and finance and information technology teams, drive the implementation of detailed and thorough profit optimization plans for each acquisition post close, which typically includes, among other things, implementation of a systematic pricing strategy and an equipment utilization analysis that assesses repair and maintenance spending, the health of each piece of equipment and a utilization review to ensure we are maximizing productivity and selling any pieces of equipment that are not needed in the business.

Leverage vertically-integrated and strategically located operations for growth. We believe that our vertical integration of construction materials, products and services is a significant competitive advantage that we will leverage to grow share in our existing markets and enter into new markets. A significant portion of materials used to produce our products and provide services to our customers is internally supplied, which enables us to operate as a single source provider of materials, products and paving and related services, creating cost, convenience and reliability advantages for our customers and enabling us to capture additional value throughout the supply chain, while at the same time creating significant cross-marketing opportunities among our interrelated businesses.

Our Industry

The U.S. construction materials industry is composed of four primary sectors: aggregates; cement; ready-mixed concrete; and asphalt paving mix. Each of these materials is widely used in most forms of construction activity. Participants in these sectors typically range from small, privately-held companies focused on a single material, product or market to multinational companies that offer a wide array of construction materials, products and related services. Competition is limited in part by the distance materials can be transported efficiently, resulting in predominantly local or regional operations.

Transportation infrastructure projects, driven by both federal and state funding programs, represent a significant share of the U.S. construction materials market. In addition to federal funding, highway construction and maintenance funding is also available through state, county and local agencies. Our five largest states by

7

revenue (Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, which represented approximately 34%, 19%, 11%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenue in 2014) each have funds whose revenue sources have certain constitutional protections and are dedicated for transportation projects.

Aggregates. Aggregates are key material components used in the production of cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mixes for the residential, nonresidential and public infrastructure markets and are also widely used for various applications and products, such as road and building foundations, railroad ballast, erosion control, filtration, roofing granules and in solutions for snow and ice control. Generally extracted from the earth using surface or underground mining methods, aggregates are produced from natural deposits of various materials such as limestone, sand and gravel, granite and trap rock.

Aggregates represent an attractive market with high profit margins, high barriers to entry and increasing resource scarcity, which, as compared to construction services, leads to relatively stable profitability through economic cycles. Production is moderately capital intensive and access to well-placed reserves is important given high transport costs and environmental permitting restrictions. Markets are typically local due to high transport costs and are generally fragmented, with numerous participants operating in localized markets. The top players controlled approximately 30% of the national market in 2013. According to the August 2015 U.S. Geological Survey, the U.S. market for these products was estimated at approximately 2.4 billion tons in 2014, at a total market value of $20.2 billion. Relative to other construction materials, such as cement, aggregates consumption is more heavily weighted towards public infrastructure and maintenance and repair. However, the mix of end uses can vary widely by geographic location, based on the nature of construction activity in each market. Typically, three to six competitors comprise the majority market share of each local market because of the constraints around the availability of natural resources and transportation. Vertically-integrated players can have a competitive advantage by leveraging their aggregates for downstream operations, such as ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services.

Cement. Portland cement, an industry term for the common cement in general use around the world, is the basic ingredient of concrete and is made from a combination of limestone, shale, clay, silica and iron ore. Together with water, cement creates the paste that binds the aggregates together when making concrete. Cement is an input for ready-mixed concrete and concrete products and commands significantly higher prices relative to aggregates, reflecting the more intensive capital investment required. Cement production in the United States is distributed among 107 production facilities located across 36 states and is a capital-intensive business with variable costs dominated by raw materials and energy required to fuel the kiln. Building new plants is challenging given the extensive permitting requirements and capital investment requirements. We estimate new plant construction costs in the United States to be approximately $250-300 per ton, not including costs for property or securing raw materials and the required distribution network. Assuming construction costs of $275 per ton, a 1.25 million ton facility, comparable to our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant’s potential annual capacity, would cost approximately $343.8 million to construct. Establishing a distribution network, such as the seven terminals included in the Davenport Assets, adds significant cost to a cement plant investment.

Ready-mixed concrete. Ready-mixed concrete is one of the most versatile and widely used materials in construction today. It is created through the combination of coarse and fine aggregates, which make up approximately 60 to 75% of the mix by volume, with water, various chemical admixtures and cement making up the remainder. Given the high weight-to-value ratio, delivery of ready-mixed concrete is typically limited to a one-hour haul from a production plant and is further limited by a 90 minute window in which newly-mixed concrete must be poured to maintain quality and performance. As a result of the transportation constraints, the ready-mixed concrete market is highly localized, with an estimated 5,500 ready-mixed concrete plants in theUnited States, according to the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (the “NRMCA”). We participate selectively in ready-mixed concrete markets where we provide our own aggregates for production, which we believe provides us a competitive advantage.

8

Asphalt paving mix. Asphalt paving mix is the most common roadway material used today, covering 93% of the more than 2.6 million miles of paved roadways in the United States, according to the National Asphalt Pavement Association (“NAPA”). Major inputs include aggregates and liquid asphalt (the refined residue from the distillation process of crude oils by refineries). Given the significant aggregates component in asphalt paving mix (up to 95% by weight), local aggregates producers often participate in the asphalt paving mix business to secure captive demand for aggregates. Asphalt and paving is highly fragmented in the United States, with end markets skewed towards new road construction and maintenance and repair of roads. Barriers to entry include permit requirements, access to aggregates (where possible, asphalt plants are typically located at quarries) and access to liquid asphalt.

The Davenport Acquisition

On July 17, 2015, Continental Cement acquired the Davenport Assets for $450.0 million, subject to certain adjustments, plus Continental Cement’s Bettendorf, Iowa cement distribution terminal (the “Bettendorf Terminal”) (the “Davenport Acquisition”). Of the purchase price, $370.0 million was paid at closing and $80.0 million (the “Deferred Purchase Obligation”) was paid on August 13, 2015. A portion of the net proceeds from the August 2015 Follow-on Offering was used to finance the Deferred Purchase Obligation.

The combination of the Davenport Assets and Continental Cement creates a strategically attractive and complementary multi-plant cement business. Synergy opportunities include distribution efficiencies, alternative fuels optimization and sharing of operational best practices. The acquisition expands our geographic footprint, provides new opportunities for downstream growth and makes us the third largest cement producer by capacity on the Mississippi River.

On a combined basis Continental Cement has 2.4 million short tons (“mt”) of cement capacity across the Davenport Plant and the cement plant in Hannibal, Missouri (the “Hannibal Plant”) as well as eight cement distribution terminals along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis, Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana.

Premier assets. The Davenport Plant has been in operation since 1981 and, similar to our Hannibal Plant is served by barge, rail and truck distribution modes. It is a well-designed and well-run plant and has been a low-cost producer for the last decade. The Davenport Plant has 1.1 mt of clinker capacity and 1.2 mt of cement capacity and approximately 1.5 mt of cement was distributed through the Davenport Terminals in the year ended December 31, 2014. The Davenport Terminals have storage capacity of over 0.2 mt and annual throughput capacity of over 2.2 mt. Operations employ one vertical roller mill and one precalciner kiln along with a single classic ball mill for finish grinding. The Davenport Plant produces one clinker type and two cement types (Types I and II), both of which are low alkali and approved for use in all states in the Mississippi basin. At current production levels, we estimate that the Davenport Plant has approximately 50 years of quarry reserves.

The Davenport Terminals are well located to serve attractive markets. The cement distribution terminal in the New Orleans market can handle offshore cement imports, which favorably positions us to satisfy the gap between domestic consumption and capacity as supply tightens with recovering demand over the next two to three years.

Strategic fit with Hannibal Plant. The Davenport Plant together with the network of Davenport Terminals is a strategic fit with the Hannibal Plant. The plants are the two most northern-located cement plants on the Mississippi River. Continental Cement is the third largest cement producer on the Mississippi River, after Buzzi Unicem USA, Inc. (“Buzzi”) and Lafarge-Holcim. The Davenport Acquisition presented a compelling

11

opportunity to develop a multi-plant cement business of scale, serving as a substantial platform for downstream growth over multiple new regional markets.

Operational fit with Continental Cement.The Davenport Plant is approximately 170 miles north of the Hannibal Plant. Operationally, we have identified many opportunities for synergies, including distribution efficiencies, alternative fuels optimization (both plants use alternative fuels to replace coal) and other best practice transfers between the plants.

Improves our margin and earnings mix exposure.The acquisition of the Davenport Assets, a 100% cement business, significantly increases the proportion of our EBITDA that is derived from materials, improves our overall EBITDA margin by nearly 200 basis points (“bps”) and increases our materials-related earnings exposure by approximately 900 bps. Furthermore, the Davenport Assets increase our geographic diversity, expand exposure to higher-growth, privately-led construction materials demand and bring new platforms for downstream market growth.

Attractive markets present opportunity for volume growth.Cement production along the Mississippi River has remained relatively constant over the last 10 years. Cement capacity of 15 mt is split among six players (eight plants) along the Mississippi River. The Davenport Assets are well positioned in all up-river markets and have the lowest or second lowest delivered cost position in each. In most of the markets which the Davenport Assets supply, the primary competitors are Lafarge-Holcim and Buzzi. Lafarge-Holcim’s Ste. Genevieve site is the largest plant on the Mississippi River and competes with the Davenport Assets in more markets than any other competitor. The Davenport Terminals and Continental Cement’s St. Louis, Missouri terminal provide Continental Cement with coverage of many attractive markets along the Mississippi River via low-cost barge and rail distribution modes. Owning two strategically located plants and eight terminals covering the Mississippi River positions the business for expanded growth.

Attractive time to invest in the cement sector and the Mississippi River market.The U.S. cement industry is moving back towards its historical domestic cement supply-demand imbalance. Demand is expected to exceed U.S. domestic capacity by 2017. The developing domestic supply-demand imbalance is also attributable to tighter EPA NESHAP regulations for PC-MACT, compliance with which was required in September 2015, notwithstanding certain extensions granted to individual cement plants to September 2016, as well as the closure in the past decade of a portion of the older and inefficient U.S. cement plants. This supply-demand imbalance has positive implications for industry pricing and the trend for real price increases are expected to continue. The Mississippi River market continues to experience a demand and pricing recovery since trough conditions in 2011-12. The Midwest economy is generally improving, driven by a rebound in industrial production and manufacturing. The unemployment rate in the Davenport Assets’ target market is well below that of the overall U.S. unemployment rate, and building permit growth is expected to grow at a faster rate than the U.S. over the next two years.

Effect on Holders of Outstanding Notes As a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of, all validly tendered outstanding notes pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, the Issuers and the guarantors will have fulfilled a covenant under the registration rights agreement. Accordingly, there will be no increase in the interest rate on the outstanding notes under the circumstances described in the registration rights agreement. If you do not tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be entitled to and bear all the rights and limitations applicable to the outstanding notes as set forth in the indenture; however, as a result of the making of, and upon acceptance for exchange of, all validly tendered outstanding notes pursuant to the terms of the exchange offer, the Issuers will not have any further obligation to you to provide for the exchange and registration of the outstanding notes under the registration rights agreement. To the extent that the outstanding notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, the trading market for the remaining outstanding notes that are not so tendered and exchanged could be adversely affected.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange All untendered outstanding notes will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer set forth in the outstanding notes and in the indenture. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Other than in connection with the exchange offer, the Issuers do not currently anticipate that they will register the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations The exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable event to holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations.”

Fungibility The exchange notes will be treated as fungible with the existing notes for United States federal income tax purposes. Any exchange notes or any notes that otherwise become freely tradable are expected to trade under the same CUSIP with the existing notes that were part of a registered exchange offer consummated in September 2015.

Use of Proceeds The Issuers will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. See “Use of Proceeds.”

Exchange Agent Wilmington Trust, National Association is the exchange agent for the exchange offer. The addresses and telephone numbers of the exchange agent are set forth in the section captioned “The Exchange Offer—Exchange Agent” of this prospectus.

Summary Historical Consolidated Financial and Other Data

The following tables set forth, for the periods and as of the dates indicated, our summary historical consolidated financial and other data. The summary historical consolidated financial information as of September 26, 2015 and for the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 was derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary historical consolidated financial information as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 and for each of the three years ended December 27, 2014 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. We have derived the summary historical consolidated balance sheet data at December 29, 2012 from our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2012, which is not included in this prospectus. We have prepared our unaudited consolidated financial statements on the same basis as our audited consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, have included all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly in all material respects our financial position and results of operations. The results for any historical or interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year or any future period.

You should read the following information together with the more detailed information contained in “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Exchange Notes

The terms of the exchange notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the outstanding notes, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes. The exchange notes will be governed by the same indenture under which the outstanding notes were issued. The following summary is not intended to be a complete description of the terms of the exchange notes. For a more detailed description of the exchange notes, see “Description of the Notes” in this prospectus.

Issuers Summit Materials, LLC and Summit Materials Finance Corp.

Notes Offered Up to $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023.

Maturity Date July 15, 2023, unless earlier redeemed or repurchased.

Interest The exchange notes will accrue interest at a rate of 6.125% per annum, payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year. Interest on each exchange note will accrue from July 8, 2015.

Guarantees The exchange notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by all of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities and the existing notes. These guarantees are subject to release under specified circumstances. See “Description of the Notes—Guarantees.” The guarantee of each guarantor will be an unsecured senior obligation of that guarantor and will rank:

• equal in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of that guarantor;

• senior in right of payment with all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of that guarantor;

• effectively subordinated to all existing and future secured obligations of that guarantor, including any such guarantor’s guarantee of indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness; and

• structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including any foreign subsidiaries.

See “Description of the Notes—Guarantees.”

Ranking The exchange notes are our senior unsecured obligations and will:

• rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior obligations (including the existing notes);

20

• rank senior in right of payment to all of our existing and future subordinated obligations;

• be effectively subordinated to all of our existing and future secured obligations, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations; and

• be structurally subordinated to all of our existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including any foreign subsidiaries.

As of September 26, 2015, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, we had:

• $710.0 million of indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities;

• $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of existing notes; and

• $47.0 million in capital leases and other obligations.

Optional Redemption We may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at any time prior to July 15, 2018 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date and the “applicable premium” described under the caption “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.” We may redeem some or all of the exchange notes at any time on or after July 15, 2018 at the redemption prices and as described under the caption “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption.”

Change of Control and Asset Sale Offers Upon the occurrence of a change of control or upon the sale of certain of our assets in which we do not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the exchange notes will have the right to require us to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s notes at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change control) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date. See “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control,” and “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales.”

Certain Covenants The exchange notes will be governed by the same indenture under which the existing notes and the outstanding notes were issued. The indenture governing the exchange notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to:

• incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

• pay dividends, redeem our membership interests or Summit Inc.’s stock or make other distributions;

• make certain investments;

21

• create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers;

• create liens;

• sell or transfer certain assets;

• consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets;

• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and

• designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations, exceptions and qualifications. See “Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants.”

Use of Proceeds We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer. See “Use of Proceeds.”

No Prior Market The exchange notes will generally be freely transferable but will be new securities for which there will not initially be a market. Accordingly, we cannot assure you whether a market for the exchange notes will develop or as to the liquidity of any such market that may develop.

Governing Law The exchange notes will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

Risk Factors

You should carefully consider all the information in the prospectus prior to exchanging your outstanding notes. In particular, we urge you to carefully consider the factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” beginning on page 23 of this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer.

22

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors and all other information contained in this prospectus before participating in the exchange offer. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks facing us and your investment in the exchange notes. Additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or those we currently deem less significant, also may become important factors that affect us. The following risks could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. The value of the exchange notes could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer

If you choose not to exchange your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, the transfer restrictions currently applicable to your outstanding notes will remain in force and the market price of your outstanding notes could decline.

If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, then you will continue to be subject to the transfer restrictions on the outstanding notes as set forth in the offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes. In general, the outstanding notes may not be offered or sold unless they are registered or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act. You should refer to “Prospectus Summary—The Exchange Offer” and “The Exchange Offer” for information about how to tender your outstanding notes.

The tender of outstanding notes under the exchange offer will reduce the remaining principal amount of the outstanding notes, which may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market price of the outstanding notes not exchanged in the exchange offer due to a reduction in liquidity.

Your ability to transfer the exchange notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and an active trading market may not develop for the exchange notes.

There is no established public market for the exchange notes. We do not intend to have the exchange notes listed on a national securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated quotation system. The initial purchasers have advised us that they intend to make a market in the exchange notes, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations; however, the initial purchasers are not obligated to make a market in the exchange notes, and they may discontinue their market-making activities at any time without notice. Therefore, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any trading market for the exchange notes. The liquidity of any market for the exchange notes will depend on a number of factors, including:

• the number of holders of exchange notes;

• our operating performance and financial condition;

• the market for similar securities;

• the interest of securities dealers in making a market for the exchange notes;

• the conditions of the financial markets; and

• prevailing interest rates.

Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of securities similar to the exchange notes. The market, if any, for the exchange notes may face similar disruptions that may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your exchange

23

notes. Therefore, you may not be able to sell your exchange notes at a particular time and the price that you receive when you sell may not be favorable.

Certain persons who participate in the exchange offer must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the exchange notes.

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained inExxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (available May 13, 1988),Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (available June 5, 1991) andShearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (available July 2, 1993), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the exchange notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under “Plan of Distribution,” certain holders of exchange notes will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer the exchange notes. If such a holder transfers any exchange notes without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act, such a holder may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify such a holder against, this liability.

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes

Our substantial leverage could adversely affect our financial condition, our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations, our ability to operate our business, our ability to react to changes in the economy or our industry and pay our debts, including our obligations under the exchange notes and could divert our cash flow from operations to debt payments.

We are highly leveraged. As of September 26, 2015, on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions (i) our total debt would have been approximately $1,407.0 million, (ii) the outstanding notes and related guarantees would have ranked equally with $350.0 million of existing notes, (iii) the outstanding notes and related guarantees would have ranked effectively subordinated to approximately $710.0 million of senior secured indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such facilities and (iv) we would have had an additional $150.6 million of unutilized capacity under our senior secured revolving credit facility (after giving effect to approximately $24.4 million of letters of credit outstanding).

Our high degree of leverage could have important consequences for you, including:

• making it more difficult for us to make payments on the exchange notes;

• increasing our vulnerability to general economic and industry conditions;

• requiring a substantial portion of cash flow from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flow to fund our operations, capital expenditures and future business opportunities;

• subject us to the risk of increased interest rates as a portion of our borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are exposed to variable rates of interest;

• restricting us from making strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;

• limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and

• limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors who are less highly leveraged.

Borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities are at variable rates of interest and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness will increase

24

even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income and cash flows, including cash available for servicing our indebtedness, will correspondingly decrease. We have and may in the future enter into interest rate swaps that involve the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments in order to reduce interest rate volatility. However, we may not maintain interest rate swaps with respect to all of our variable rate indebtedness, and any swaps we enter into may not fully mitigate our interest rate risk.

In addition, the indenture that governs the existing notes and the exchange notes and the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interest. Our failure to comply with those covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all our debt.

The pro forma financial information in this prospectus may not be reflective of our operating results and financial condition following the Transactions.

The pro forma financial information included in this prospectus is derived from our historical consolidated financial statements and from the historical financial statements related to the Davenport Assets. The preparation of this pro forma information is based on certain assumptions and estimates. This pro forma information may not necessarily reflect what our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows would have been had the transactions specified occurred during the periods presented or will be in the future.

Despite our current level of indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could reduce our ability to satisfy our obligations under the exchange notes and further exacerbate the risks to our financial condition described above.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional indebtedness in the future, and we may do so, among other reasons, to fund acquisitions as part of our growth strategy. Although the indenture governing the existing notes and the notes and the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions, and we could incur substantial additional indebtedness in compliance with these restrictions. If we incur any additional indebtedness that ranks equally with the exchange notes, subject to collateral arrangements, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with you in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up of our company. Such additional indebtedness may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. These restrictions also will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. Our senior secured credit facilities include an uncommitted incremental facility that allows us the option to increase the amount available under the term loan facility and/or the senior secured revolving credit facility by (i) $225.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount so long as we are in pro forma compliance with a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. Availability of such incremental facilities will be subject to, among other conditions, the absence of an event of default and the receipt of commitments by existing or additional financial institutions. All of those borrowings would be secured indebtedness and, therefore, effectively senior to the exchange notes and the guarantees of the exchange notes by the guarantors to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt. See “Description of Other Indebtedness” and “Description of the Notes.”

We may not be able to generate sufficient cash to service all of our indebtedness, including the exchange notes, and may be forced to take other actions to satisfy our obligations under our indebtedness, which may not be successful.

Our ability to make scheduled payments on or to refinance our debt obligations and to fund planned capital expenditures and other corporate expenses depends on our financial condition and operating performance, which is subject to prevailing economic and competitive conditions and to certain financial, business, legislative, regulatory and other factors and any legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of distributions and

25

dividends to which we may be subject. Many of these factors are beyond our control. We may not be able to maintain a level of cash flows from operating activities sufficient to permit us to pay the principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, including the exchange notes. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our debt service obligations or our other needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay investments and capital expenditures, seek additional capital, restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the exchange notes or sell assets. These alternative measures may not be successful and may not permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations or fund planned capital expenditures. Significant delays in our planned capital expenditures may materially and adversely affect our future revenue prospects. In addition, our ability to restructure or refinance our debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at such time. Any refinancing of our debt could be at higher interest rates and may require us to comply with more onerous covenants, which could further restrict our business operations. The senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the existing notes and the notes restrict our ability to use the proceeds from asset sales. We may not be able to consummate those asset sales to raise capital or sell assets at prices that we believe are fair and proceeds that we do receive may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due. In addition, any failure to make payments of interest and principal on our outstanding indebtedness on a timely basis would likely result in a reduction of our credit rating, which could harm our ability to incur additional indebtedness. See “Description of Other Indebtedness” and “Description of the Notes.”

The exchange notes will not be secured by any of our assets and are effectively subordinated to our secured debt. The senior secured credit facilities are secured and, therefore, the related lenders will have a prior claim on substantially all of our assets and those of our guarantors.

The exchange notes will not be secured by any of our or our guarantors’ assets. The senior secured credit facilities, however, are secured by (i) a perfected security interest in certain stock, other equity interests and promissory notes owned by us and the guarantors and (ii) a perfected security interest in all other tangible and intangible assets (including, without limitation, equipment, aggregate reserves, contract rights, securities, patents, trademarks, other intellectual property, cash and real estate) owned by us or any of the guarantors, subject to certain limited exceptions. The lenders under the senior secured credit facilities are entitled to accelerate all obligations thereunder if we become insolvent or are liquidated, or if we otherwise default on any of our obligations and agreements under the senior secured credit facilities. In addition, the indenture governing the existing notes and the notes permit us and our subsidiaries to incur secured debt under specified circumstances. If we incur any additional secured debt, our assets and the assets of our subsidiaries will be subject to prior claims by such secured creditors as well. If payment under any of the instruments governing our secured debt is accelerated, the lenders under these instruments will be entitled to exercise the remedies available to a secured lender under applicable law and pursuant to instruments governing such debt. Accordingly, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities and any future secured debt will have a prior claim on our assets (and those of the guarantors under the senior secured credit facilities and any future secured debt) in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up. In that event, because the exchange notes will not be secured by any of our or the guarantors’ assets, it is possible that our and the guarantors’ remaining assets might be insufficient to satisfy your claims in full. Any such exercise of the lenders’ remedies under the senior secured credit facilities and any future secured debt could impede or preclude our ability to continue to operate as a going concern. Holders of the exchange notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all of our unsecured and unsubordinated creditors, including our trade creditors.

If we incur any additional obligations that rank equally with the exchange notes, including trade payables, the holders of those obligations will be entitled to share ratably with the holders of the exchange notes in any proceeds distributed upon our bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding up. This may have the effect of reducing the amount of proceeds paid to you. If there are not sufficient assets remaining to pay all these creditors, all or a portion of the exchange notes then outstanding would remain unpaid.

26

On a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, as of September 26, 2015, we would have had $1,407.0 million of total debt, of which $710.0 million would have been secured. Under our senior secured credit facilities, we would have also had available to us an uncommitted incremental loan facility in an amount not to exceed (i) $225.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount so long as we are in pro forma compliance with a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. All of those borrowings could be secured, and as a result, would be effectively senior to the exchange notes and the guarantees of the exchange notes. We may incur additional secured indebtedness as permitted under our senior secured credit agreement and other existing instruments governing our indebtedness.

The indenture governing the existing notes and the exchange notes and the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities restrict our ability and the ability of most of our subsidiaries to engage in some business and financial transactions.

Indenture governing the existing notes and the exchange notes. The indenture governing the existing notes and the exchange notes contains restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

• incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares;

• pay dividends, redeem our membership interests or Summit Inc.’s stock or make other distributions;

• make investments;

• create restrictions on the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to pay dividends to us or make other intercompany transfers;

• create liens;

• transfer or sell assets;

• merge or consolidate;

• enter into certain transactions with our affiliates; and

• designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries.

Senior secured credit facilities. The amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities contains a number of covenants that limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to:

• incur additional indebtedness or guarantees;

• create liens on assets;

• change our fiscal year;

• enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

• engage in mergers or consolidations;

• sell assets;

• incur additional liens;

• pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

• make investments, loans or advances;

• repay subordinated indebtedness;

• make certain acquisitions;

• engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and

27

• change our lines of business.

In addition, the senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain a maximum first lien net leverage ratio.

The amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities also contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default (including, among others, an event of default upon a change of control). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under our senior secured credit facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

Our failure to comply with obligations under the indenture governing the existing notes and the exchange notes and the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities may result in an event of default under the indenture or the amended and restated credit agreement. A default, if not cured or waived, may permit acceleration of our indebtedness. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot be certain that we will have sufficient funds available to pay the accelerated indebtedness or that we will have the ability to refinance the accelerated indebtedness on terms favorable to us or at all.

The exchange notes will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Payments on the exchange notes are only required to be made by us and the guarantors. The exchange notes will only be guaranteed by our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our obligations under the senior secured credit facilities. Accordingly, holders of the exchange notes will be structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade creditors. All obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, including trade payables, will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such subsidiaries would be available for distribution, upon liquidation or otherwise, to us or a guarantor of the exchange notes. The non-guarantor subsidiaries will be permitted to incur additional debt in the future under the indenture governing the existing notes and the notes.

A default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness could result in the acceleration of such other indebtedness, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation and may not be able to make payments on the exchange notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including a default under the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities that is not waived by the required lenders, and the remedies sought by the lenders could prevent us from paying principal, premium, if any, and interest on the exchange notes and substantially decrease the market value of the exchange notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants, in the instruments governing our indebtedness, including covenants in the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities, we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness. In the event of such default, the holders of such indebtedness may be able to cause all of our available cash flow to be used to pay such indebtedness and, in any event could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest; the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and institute foreclosure proceedings against our assets and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. Upon any such bankruptcy filing, we would be stayed from making any ongoing payments on the exchange notes, and the holders of the exchange notes would not be entitled to receive post-petition interest or applicable fees, costs or charges, or any “adequate protection” under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Furthermore, if a bankruptcy case were to be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code, we could be subject to claims, with respect to any payments made within 90 days prior to commencement of such a case, that we were insolvent at the time any such payments were made and that all or a portion of such payments, which could include repayments of amounts due under the exchange notes, might be

28

deemed to constitute a preference, under the Bankruptcy Code, and that such payments should be voided by the bankruptcy court and recovered from the recipients for the benefit of the entire bankruptcy estate. Also, in the event that we were to become a debtor in, a bankruptcy case seeking reorganization or other relief under the Bankruptcy Code, a delay and/or substantial reduction in payments under the exchange notes may otherwise occur. If our operating performance declines, we may in the future need to obtain waivers from the required lenders under our senior secured credit facilities to avoid being in default. If we breach our covenants under our senior secured credit facilities and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders and holders. If this occurs, we would be in default under the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation. See “Description of Other Indebtedness” and “Description of the Notes.”

We may not be able to repurchase the exchange notes upon a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding notes at 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, unless such notes have been previously called for redemption. The source of funds for any such purchase of the exchange notes will be our available cash or cash generated from our subsidiaries’ operations or other sources, including borrowings, sales of assets or sales of equity. We may not be able to repurchase the exchange notes upon a change of control because we may not have sufficient financial resources to purchase all of the exchange notes that are tendered upon a change of control. Further, we will be contractually restricted under the terms of the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities from repurchasing all of the exchange notes tendered by holders upon a change of control. Accordingly, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to purchase the exchange notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers under the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities. Our failure to repurchase the exchange notes upon a change of control would cause a default under the indenture governing the exchange notes and a cross-default under the indenture governing the existing notes and the notes and a cross default under the amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities. See “Description of the Notes—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control.” The amended and restated credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities also provides that a change of control will be a default that permits lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings thereunder. Any of our future debt agreements may contain similar provisions.

Courts interpreting change of control provisions under New York law (which is the governing law of the indenture governing the existing notes and the exchange notes) have not provided clear and consistent meanings of such change of control provisions which leads to subjective judicial interpretation. In addition, a court case in Delaware has questioned whether a change of control provision contained in an indenture could be unenforceable on public policy grounds. No assurances can be given that another court would enforce the change of control provisions in the indenture governing the exchange notes as written for the benefit of the holders, or as to how these change of control provisions would be affected were we to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the exchange notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the exchange notes and the guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received and, if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the exchange notes.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the exchange notes and the incurrence of any guarantees of the exchange notes, including the guarantee by the guarantors entered into upon issuance of the exchange notes and subsidiary guarantees (if any) that may be entered into thereafter under the terms of the indenture governing the exchange notes. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state, the exchange notes or guarantees could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (i) the Issuers or any of the guarantors, as applicable, issued the exchange notes or incurred the guarantees with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (ii) the Issuers or any of the guarantors, as applicable, received less than

29

reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for either issuing the exchange notes or incurring the guarantees and, in the case of (ii) only, one of the following is also true at the time thereof:

• the Issuers or any of the guarantors, as applicable, were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the exchange notes or the incurrence of the guarantees;

• the issuance of the exchange notes or the incurrence of the guarantees left the Issuers or any of the guarantors, as applicable, with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business;

• the Issuers or any of the guarantors intended to, or believed that the Issuers or such guarantor would, incur debts beyond the Issuers’ or such guarantor’s ability to pay such debts as they mature; or

• the Issuers or any of the guarantors were a defendant in an action for money damages, or had a judgment for money damages docketed against it or such guarantor if, in either case, after final judgment, the judgment is unsatisfied.

A court would likely find that we or a guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the exchange notes or such guarantee if we or such guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the exchange notes or the applicable guarantee. As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or an antecedent debt is secured or satisfied. A debtor will generally not be considered to have received value in connection with a debt offering if the debtor uses the proceeds of that offering to make a dividend payment or otherwise retire or redeem equity securities issued by the debtor.

We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not we or the guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the guarantees would not be further subordinated to our or any of our guarantors’ other debt. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if, at the time it incurred indebtedness:

• the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the fair saleable value of all its assets;

• the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

• it could not pay its debts as they become due.

If a court were to find that the issuance of the exchange notes or the incurrence of the guarantee was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the exchange notes or such guarantee or further subordinate the exchange notes or such guarantee to our or the related guarantors’ presently existing and future indebtedness, or require the holders of the exchange notes to repay any amounts received with respect to such guarantee. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the exchange notes or such guarantee, as applicable. Sufficient funds to repay the exchange notes may not be available from other sources, including any remaining guarantor, if any. In addition, the court might direct you to repay any amounts that you already received from us or the guarantor. Further, the voidance of the exchange notes could result in an event of default with respect to the Issuers’ and their subsidiaries’ other debt that could result in acceleration of such debt.

If the guarantees were legally challenged, any guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was incurred for the Issuers’ benefit, and only indirectly for the benefit of the applicable guarantor, the obligations of the applicable guarantor were incurred for less than fair consideration. A court could thus void the obligations under the guarantees, subordinate them to the applicable guarantor’s other debt or take other action detrimental to the holders of the exchange notes.

30

Although each guarantee entered into by a subsidiary will contain a provision intended to limit that guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer, this provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce that guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless. In a Florida bankruptcy case, this kind of provision was found to be ineffective to prohibit the guarantees.

In addition, any payment by us pursuant to the exchange notes made at a time we were found to be insolvent could be voided and required to be returned to us or to a fund for the benefit of our creditors if such payment is made to an insider within a one-year period prior to a bankruptcy filing or within 90 days for any outside party and such payment would give such insider or outsider party more than such creditors would have received in a distribution under the Bankruptcy Code.

Finally, as a court of equity, the bankruptcy court may otherwise subordinate the claims in respect of the exchange notes to other claims against us under the principle of equitable subordination, if the court determines that: (i) the holder of the exchange notes engaged in some type of inequitable conduct; (ii) such inequitable conduct resulted in injury to our other creditors or conferred an unfair advantage upon the holder of the exchange notes; and (iii) equitable subordination is not inconsistent with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Many of the covenants in the indenture that will govern the exchange notes will not apply during any period in which the exchange notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s.

Many of the covenants in the indenture that will govern the exchange notes will not apply to us during any period in which the exchange notes are rated investment grade by both Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., or “Moody’s,” and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or “Standard & Poor’s,” provided at such time no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing. These covenants restrict among other things, our ability to pay distributions, incur debt and to enter into certain other transactions. There can be no assurance that the exchange notes will ever be rated investment grade, or that if they are rated investment grade, that the exchange notes will maintain these ratings. However, suspension of these covenants would allow us to incur debt, pay dividends and make other distributions and engage in certain other transactions that would not be permitted while these covenants were in force. To the extent the covenants are subsequently reinstated, any such actions taken while the covenants were suspended would not result in an event of default under the indenture that will govern the exchange notes. See “Description of the Notes—Certain Covenants.”

A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to our company or the exchange notes, if any, could cause the liquidity or market value of the exchange notes to decline.

The exchange notes have been rated by nationally recognized rating agencies and may in the future be rated by additional rating agencies. We cannot assure you that any rating assigned will remain for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a rating agency if, in that rating agency’s judgment, circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes in our business, so warrant. Any downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of a rating by a rating agency (or any anticipated downgrade, suspension or withdrawal) could reduce the liquidity or market value of the exchange notes. Any future lowering of our ratings may make it more difficult or more expensive for us to obtain additional debt financing. If any credit rating initially assigned to the exchange notes is subsequently lowered or withdrawn for any reason, you may lose some or all of the value of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Industry and Our Business

Industry Risks

Our business depends on activity within the construction industry and the strength of the local economies in which we operate.

We sell most of our construction materials and products and provide all of our paving and related services to the construction industry, so our results are significantly affected by the strength of the construction industry. Demand for our products, particularly in the residential and nonresidential construction markets, could decline if companies and consumers cannot obtain credit for construction projects or if the slow pace of economic activity results in delays or cancellations of capital projects. In addition, federal and state budget issues may hurt the funding available for infrastructure spending, particularly highway construction, which constitutes a significant portion of our business.

Our earnings depend on the strength of the local economies in which we operate because of the high cost to transport our products relative to their price. In recent years, many states have reduced their construction spending due to budget shortfalls resulting from lower tax revenue as well as uncertainty relating to long-term federal highway funding. As a result, there has been a reduction in many states’ investment in infrastructure spending. If economic and construction activity diminishes in one or more areas, particularly in our top revenue-generating markets of Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, our results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected, and there is no assurance that reduced levels of construction activity will not continue to affect our business in the future.

Our business is cyclical and requires significant working capital to fund operations.

Our business is cyclical and requires that we maintain significant working capital to fund our operations. Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow depends on future performance, which will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash to operate our business and service our outstanding debt and other obligations, we may be required, among other things, to further reduce or delay planned capital or operating expenditures, sell assets or take other measures, including the restructuring of all or a portion of our debt, which may only be available, if at all, on unsatisfactory terms.

Weather can materially affect our business, and we are subject to seasonality.

Nearly all of the products we sell and the services we provide are used or performed outdoors. Therefore, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can adversely affect our business and operations through a decline in both the use and production of our products and demand for our services. Adverse weather conditions such as extended rainy and cold weather in the spring and fall can reduce demand for our products and reduce sales or render our contracting operations less efficient. Major weather events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms and heavy snows with quick rainy melts could adversely affect sales in the near term.

Construction materials production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Warmer and drier weather during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year typically result in higher activity and revenue levels during those quarters. The first quarter of our fiscal year has typically lower levels of activity due to the weather conditions. Our second quarter varies greatly with spring rains and wide temperature variations. A cool wet spring increases drying time on projects, which can delay sales in the second quarter, while a warm dry spring may enable earlier project startup.

Our industry is capital intensive and we have significant fixed and semi-fixed costs. Therefore, our earnings are sensitive to changes in volume.

The property and machinery needed to produce our products can be very expensive. Therefore, we need to spend a substantial amount of capital to purchase and maintain the equipment necessary to operate our business.

32

Although we believe that our current cash balance, along with our projected internal cash flows and our available financing resources, will provide sufficient cash to support our currently anticipated operating and capital needs, if we are unable to generate sufficient cash to purchase and maintain the property and machinery necessary to operate our business, we may be required to reduce or delay planned capital expenditures or incur additional debt. In addition, given the level of fixed and semi-fixed costs within our business, particularly at our cement production facilities, decreases in volumes could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Within our local markets, we operate in a highly competitive industry.

The U.S. construction aggregates industry is highly fragmented with a large number of independent local producers in a number of our markets. Additionally, in most markets, we compete against large private and public infrastructure companies, some of which are also vertically-integrated. Therefore, there is intense competition in a number of the markets in which we operate. This significant competition could lead to lower prices, lower sales volumes and higher costs in some markets, negatively affecting our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. Further, the lack of availability of skilled labor, such as truck drivers, may require us to increase compensation or reduce deliveries, which could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Growth Risks

The success of our business depends, in part, on our ability to execute on our acquisition strategy, to successfully integrate acquisitions and to retain key employees of our acquired businesses.

A significant portion of our historical growth has occurred through acquisitions, and we will likely enter into acquisitions in the future. We are presently evaluating, and we expect to continue to evaluate on an ongoing basis, possible acquisition transactions. We are presently engaged, and at any time in the future we may be engaged, in discussions or negotiations with respect to possible acquisitions, including larger transactions that would be significant to us. We regularly make, and we expect to continue to make, non-binding acquisition proposals, and we may enter into letters of intent, in each case allowing us to conduct due diligence on a confidential basis. We cannot predict the timing of any contemplated transactions. To successfully acquire a significant target, we may need to raise additional equity capital and indebtedness, which would increase our leverage level above our leverage level at the time of, and prior to the contemplated use of proceeds of, this offering. There can be no assurance that we will enter into definitive agreements with respect to any contemplated transactions or that they will be completed. Our growth has placed, and will continue to place, significant demands on our management and operational and financial resources. Acquisitions involve risks that the businesses acquired will not perform as expected and that business judgments concerning the value, strengths and weaknesses of businesses acquired will prove incorrect.

Acquisitions may require integration of the acquired companies’ sales and marketing, distribution, engineering, purchasing, finance and administrative organizations. We may not be able to integrate successfully any business we may acquire or have acquired into our existing business and any acquired businesses may not be profitable or as profitable as we had expected. Our inability to complete the integration of new businesses in a timely and orderly manner could increase costs and lower profits. Factors affecting the successful integration of acquired businesses include, but are not limited to, the following:

• We may become liable for certain liabilities of any acquired business, whether or not known to us. These risks could include, among others, tax liabilities, product liabilities, environmental liabilities and liabilities for employment practices, and they could be significant.

• Substantial attention from our senior management and the management of the acquired business may be required, which could decrease the time that they have to service and attract customers.

• We may not effectively utilize new equipment that we acquire through acquisitions or otherwise at utilization and rental rates consistent with that of our existing equipment.

33

• The complete integration of acquired companies depends, to a certain extent, on the full implementation of our financial systems and policies.

• We may actively pursue a number of opportunities simultaneously and we may encounter unforeseen expenses, complications and delays, including difficulties in employing sufficient staff and maintaining operational and management oversight.

We cannot assure you that we will achieve synergies and cost savings in connection with acquisitions. In addition, many of the businesses that we have acquired and will acquire have unaudited financial statements that have been prepared by the management of such companies and have not been independently reviewed or audited. We cannot assure you that the financial statements of companies we have acquired or will acquire would not be materially different if such statements were independently reviewed or audited. Finally, we cannot assure you that we will continue to acquire businesses at valuations consistent with our prior acquisitions or that we will complete future acquisitions at all. We cannot assure you that there will be attractive acquisition opportunities at reasonable prices, that financing will be available or that we can successfully integrate such acquired businesses into our existing operations. In addition, our results of operations from these acquisitions could, in the future, result in impairment charges for any of our intangible assets, including goodwill, or other long-lived assets, particularly if economic conditions worsen unexpectedly. These changes could materially negatively affect our results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

Our long-term success is dependent upon securing and permitting aggregate reserves in strategically located areas. The inability to secure and permit such reserves could negatively affect our earnings in the future.

Aggregates are bulky and heavy and therefore difficult to transport efficiently. Because of the nature of the products, the freight costs can quickly surpass production costs. Therefore, except for geographic regions that do not possess commercially viable deposits of aggregates and are served by rail, barge or ship, the markets for our products tend to be localized around our quarry sites and are served by truck. New quarry sites often take a number of years to develop. Our strategic planning and new site development must stay ahead of actual growth. Additionally, in a number of urban and suburban areas in which we operate, it is increasingly difficult to permit new sites or expand existing sites due to community resistance. Therefore, our future success is dependent, in part, on our ability to accurately forecast future areas of high growth in order to locate optimal facility sites and on our ability to either acquire existing quarries or secure operating and environmental permits to open new quarries. If we are unable to accurately forecast areas of future growth, acquire existing quarries or secure the necessary permits to open new quarries, our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

Economic Risks

Our business relies on private investment in infrastructure, and a slower than expected economic recovery may adversely affect our results.

A significant portion of our sales are for projects with non-public owners. Construction spending is affected by developers’ ability to finance projects. Residential and nonresidential construction could decline if companies and consumers are unable to finance construction projects or if an economic recovery is stalled, which could result in delays or cancellations of capital projects. If housing starts and nonresidential projects do not rise steadily with the economic recovery as they historically have when recessions end, sale of our construction materials, downstream products and paving and related services may decline and our financial position, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

A decline in public infrastructure construction and reductions in governmental funding could adversely affect our results.

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from publicly-funded construction projects. As a result, if publicly-funded construction decreases due to reduced federal or state funding or otherwise, our financial position, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected.

34

In January 2011, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a new rules package that repealed a transportation law dating back to 1998, which protected annual funding levels from amendments that could reduce such funding. This rule change subjects funding for highways to yearly appropriation reviews. The change in the funding mechanism increases the uncertainty of many state departments of transportation regarding funds for highway projects. This uncertainty could result in states being reluctant to undertake large multi-year highway projects which could, in turn, negatively affect our sales. Funding for the existing federal transportation funding program extends through 2020. Any additional funding or successor programs have yet to be approved, and we are uncertain as to the size and term of the transportation funding program that will follow.

As a result of the foregoing and other factors, we cannot be assured of the existence, amount and timing of appropriations for spending on federal, state or local projects. Federal support for the cost of highway maintenance and construction is dependent on congressional action. In addition, each state funds its infrastructure spending from specially allocated amounts collected from various taxes, typically gasoline taxes and vehicle fees, along with voter-approved bond programs. Shortages in state tax revenues can reduce the amounts spent on state infrastructure projects, even below amounts awarded under legislative bills. In recent years, nearly all states have experienced state-level funding pressures caused by lower tax revenues and an inability to finance approved projects. Delays or cancellations of state infrastructure spending could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity because a significant portion of our business is dependent on public infrastructure spending.

Environmental, health and safety laws and regulations and any changes to, or liabilities arising under, such laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

We are subject to a variety of federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to, among other things: (i) the release or discharge of materials into the environment; (ii) the management, use, generation, treatment, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of hazardous materials, including the management of hazardous waste used as a fuel substitute at our cement kiln in Hannibal, Missouri; (iii) the management, use, generation, treatment, processing, handling, storage, transport or disposal of solid waste used as a fuel substitute at our cement kiln in Davenport, Iowa; and (iv) the protection of public and employee health and safety and the environment. These laws and regulations impose strict liability in some cases without regard to negligence or fault and expose us to liability for the environmental condition of our currently or formerly owned, leased or operated facilities or third-party waste disposal sites, and may expose us to liability for the conduct of others or for our actions, even if such actions complied with all applicable laws at the time these actions were taken. In particular, we may incur remediation costs and other related expenses because our facilities were constructed and operated before the adoption of current environmental laws and the institution of compliance practices or because certain of our processes are regulated. These laws and regulations may also expose us to liability for claims of personal injury or property or natural resource damage related to alleged exposure to, or releases of, regulated or hazardous materials. The existence of contamination at properties we own, lease or operate could also result in increased operational costs or restrictions on our ability to use those properties as intended, including for purposes of mining.

Despite our compliance efforts, there is an inherent risk of liability in the operation of our business, especially from an environmental standpoint, or from time to time, we may be in noncompliance with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. These potential liabilities or noncompliances could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability. In many instances, we must have government approvals, certificates, permits or licenses in order to conduct our business, which often require us to make significant capital, operating and maintenance expenditures to comply with environmental, health and safety laws and regulations. Our failure to obtain and maintain required approvals, certificates, permits or licenses or to comply with applicable governmental requirements could result in sanctions, including substantial fines or possible revocation of our authority to conduct some or all of our operations. Governmental requirements that affect our

35

operations also include those relating to air and water quality, waste management, asset reclamation, the operation and closure of municipal waste and construction and demolition debris landfills, remediation of contaminated sites and worker health and safety. These requirements are complex and subject to frequent change. Stricter laws and regulations, more stringent interpretations of existing laws or regulations or the future discovery of environmental conditions may impose new liabilities on us, reduce operating hours, require additional investment by us in pollution control equipment or impede our ability to open new or expand existing plants or facilities. We have incurred, and may in the future incur, significant capital and operating expenditures to comply with such laws and regulations. The cost of complying with such laws could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, we have recorded liabilities in connection with our reclamation and landfill closure obligations, but there can be no assurances that the costs of our obligations will not exceed our accruals.

Financial Risks

Difficult and volatile conditions in the credit markets could affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

Demand for our products is primarily dependent on the overall health of the economy, and federal, state and local public infrastructure funding levels. A stagnant or declining economy tends to produce less tax revenue for public infrastructure agencies, thereby decreasing a source of funds available for spending on public infrastructure improvements, which constitute a significant part of our business.

With the slow pace of economic recovery, there is also a likelihood that we will not be able to collect on certain of our accounts receivable from our customers. Although we are protected in part by payment bonds posted by some of our customers, we have experienced payment delays and defaults from some of our customers during the recent economic downturn and subsequent slow recovery. Such delays and defaults could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

If we are unable to accurately estimate the overall risks, requirements or costs when we bid on or negotiate contracts that are ultimately awarded to us, we may achieve lower than anticipated profits or incur contract losses.

Even though the majority of our governmental contracts contain raw material escalators to protect us from certain price increases, a portion or all of the contracts are often on a fixed cost basis. Pricing on a contract with a fixed unit price is based on approved quantities irrespective of our actual costs and contracts with a fixed total price require that the total amount of work be performed for a single price irrespective of our actual costs. We realize a profit on our contracts only if our revenue exceeds actual costs, which requires that we successfully estimate our costs and then successfully control actual costs and avoid cost overruns. If our cost estimates for a contract are inadequate, or if we do not execute the contract within our cost estimates, then cost overruns may cause us to incur a loss or cause the contract not to be as profitable as we expected. The costs incurred and gross profit realized, if any, on our contracts can vary, sometimes substantially, from our original projections due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:

• failure to include materials or work in a bid, or the failure to estimate properly the quantities or costs needed to complete a lump sum contract;

• delays caused by weather conditions or otherwise failing to meet scheduled acceptance dates;

• contract or project modifications creating unanticipated costs not covered by change orders;

• changes in availability, proximity and costs of materials, including liquid asphalt, cement, aggregates and other construction materials (such as stone, gravel, sand and oil for asphalt paving), as well as fuel and lubricants for our equipment;

• to the extent not covered by contractual cost escalators, variability and inability to predict the costs of purchasing diesel, liquid asphalt and cement;

36

• availability and skill level of workers;

• failure by our suppliers, subcontractors, designers, engineers or customers to perform their obligations;

• fraud, theft or other improper activities by our suppliers, subcontractors, designers, engineers, customers or our own personnel;

• mechanical problems with our machinery or equipment;

• citations issued by any governmental authority, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) and Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”);

• difficulties in obtaining required governmental permits or approvals;

• changes in applicable laws and regulations;

• uninsured claims or demands from third parties for alleged damages arising from the design, construction or use and operation of a project of which our work is part; and

• public infrastructure customers may seek to impose contractual risk-shifting provisions more aggressively, that result in us facing increased risks.

These factors, as well as others, may cause us to incur losses, which could negatively affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We could incur material costs and losses as a result of claims that our products do not meet regulatory requirements or contractual specifications.

We provide our customers with products designed to meet building code or other regulatory requirements and contractual specifications for measurements such as durability, compressive strength, weight-bearing capacity and other characteristics. If we fail or are unable to provide products meeting these requirements and specifications, material claims may arise against us and our reputation could be damaged. Additionally, if a significant uninsured, non-indemnified or product-related claim is resolved against us in the future, that resolution could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The cancellation of a significant number of contracts or our disqualification from bidding for new contracts could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.

We could be prohibited from bidding on certain governmental contracts if we fail to maintain qualifications required by those entities. In addition, contracts with governmental entities can usually be canceled at any time by them with payment only for the work already completed. A cancellation of an unfinished contract or our disqualification from the bidding process could result in lost revenue and cause our equipment to be idled for a significant period of time until other comparable work becomes available, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Our operations are subject to special hazards that may cause personal injury or property damage, subjecting us to liabilities and possible losses which may not be covered by insurance.

Operating hazards inherent in our business, some of which may be outside our control, can cause personal injury and loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, plant and equipment and environmental damage. We maintain insurance coverage in amounts and against the risks we believe are consistent with industry practice, but this insurance may not be adequate or available to cover all losses or liabilities we may incur in our operations. Our insurance policies are subject to varying levels of deductibles. Losses up to our deductible amounts are accrued based upon our estimates of the ultimate liability for claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. However, liabilities subject to insurance are difficult to estimate due to unknown factors, including the severity of an injury, the determination of our liability in proportion to other

37

parties, the number of incidents not reported and the effectiveness of our safety programs. If we were to experience insurance claims or costs above our estimates, we might also be required to use working capital to satisfy these claims rather than using working capital to maintain or expand our operations.

Unexpected factors affecting self-insurance claims and reserve estimates could adversely affect our business.

We use a combination of third-party insurance and self-insurance to provide for potential liabilities for workers’ compensation, general liability, vehicle accident, property and medical benefit claims. Although we believe we have minimized our exposure on individual claims, for the benefit of costs savings we have accepted the risk of multiple independent material claims arising. We estimate the projected losses and liabilities associated with the risks retained by us, in part, by considering historical claims experience, demographic and severity factors and other actuarial assumptions which, by their nature, are subject to a high degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors affecting future inflation rates, discount rates, litigation trends, legal interpretations, benefit level changes and claim settlement patterns. Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Other Risks

Our success is dependent on our Chief Executive Officer and other key personnel.

Our success depends on the continuing services of our Chief Executive Officer, Tom Hill, and other key personnel. We believe that Mr. Hill possesses valuable knowledge and skills that are crucial to our success and would be very difficult to replicate. Our senior management team was assembled under the leadership of Mr. Hill. The team was assembled with a view towards substantial growth, and the size and aggregate compensation of the team has increased substantially. The associated significant increase in overhead expense could decrease our margins if we fail to grow substantially. Not all of our senior management team resides near or works at our headquarters. The geographic distance of the members of our senior management team may impede the team’s ability to work together effectively. Our success will depend, in part, on the efforts and abilities of our senior management and their ability to work together. We cannot assure you that they will be able to do so.

Over time, our success will depend on attracting and retaining qualified personnel. Competition for senior management is intense, and we may not be able to retain our management team or attract additional qualified personnel. The loss of a member of senior management would require our remaining senior officers to divert immediate attention, which could be substantial or require costly external resources in the short term. The inability to adequately fill vacancies in our senior executive positions on a timely basis could negatively affect our ability to implement our business strategy, which could adversely affect our results of operations and prospects.

We use large amounts of electricity, diesel fuel, liquid asphalt and other petroleum-based resources that are subject to potential reliability issues, supply constraints and significant price fluctuation, which could affect our financial position, operating results and liquidity.

In our production and distribution processes, we consume significant amounts of electricity, diesel fuel, liquid asphalt and other petroleum-based resources. The availability and pricing of these resources are subject to market forces that are beyond our control. Furthermore, we are vulnerable to any reliability issues experienced by our suppliers, which also are beyond our control. Our suppliers contract separately for the purchase of such resources and our sources of supply could be interrupted should our suppliers not be able to obtain these materials due to higher demand or other factors that interrupt their availability. Variability in the supply and prices of these resources could materially affect our financial position, results of operations and liquidity from period to period.

Affiliates of the Sponsors indirectly own the substantial majority of the equity interests in us and may have conflicts of interest with us or the holders of the exchange notes in the future.

The Sponsors indirectly own a substantial majority of our equity interests. As a result, affiliates of the Sponsors will have control over our decisions to enter into any corporate transaction and will have the ability to prevent any transaction that requires the approval of equity holders regardless of whether holders of the exchange notes believe that any such transactions are in their own best interests. For example, affiliates of the Sponsors could cause us to make acquisitions that increase the amount of our indebtedness or to sell assets, or could cause us to make distributions. So long as the Sponsors continue to indirectly own a significant amount of our outstanding equity interests, affiliates of the Sponsors will continue to be able to strongly influence or effectively control our decisions.

The indenture governing the existing notes and the exchange notes and the credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities permit us to pay advisory and other fees, distributions and make other restricted payments to the Sponsors under certain circumstances and the Sponsors or their respective affiliates may have an interest in our doing so.

Additionally, the Sponsors are in the business of making investments in companies and may from time to time acquire and hold interests in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us or that supply us with goods and services. The Sponsors may also pursue acquisition opportunities that may be complementary to our business and, as a result, those acquisition opportunities may not be available to us. The holders of the exchange notes should consider that the interests of the Sponsors may differ from their interests in material respects. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners” and “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”

Climate change and climate change legislation or regulations may adversely affect our business.

A number of governmental bodies have finalized or proposed or are contemplating legislative and regulatory changes in response to the potential effects of climate change, and international negotiations are continuing with respect to a successor treaty to the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which negotiations could lead to additional legislative and regulatory changes in the United States and Canada if either country becomes signatory to such successor treaty. Such legislation or regulation has and potentially could include provisions for a “cap and trade” system of allowances and credits, among other provisions. The EPA promulgated a mandatory reporting rule covering greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions from sources considered to be large emitters. The EPA has also promulgated a GHG emissions permitting rule, referred to as the “Tailoring Rule” which sets forth criteria for determining which facilities are required to obtain permits for GHG emissions pursuant to the U.S. Clean Air Act’s Prevention of Significant Deterioration (“PSD”) and Title V operating permit programs. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in June 2014 that the EPA exceeded its statutory authority in issuing the Tailoring Rule but upheld the Best Available Control Technology (“BACT”) requirements for GHGs emitted by sources already subject to PSD requirements for other pollutants. Our cement plants and one of our landfills hold Title V Permits. If future modifications to our facilities require PSD review for other pollutants, GHG BACT requirements may also be triggered, which could require significant additional costs.

Other potential effects of climate change include physical effects such as disruption in production and product distribution as a result of major storm events and shifts in regional weather patterns and intensities. There is also a potential for climate change legislation and regulation to adversely affect the cost of purchased energy and electricity.

The effects of climate change on our operations are highly uncertain and difficult to estimate. However, because a chemical reaction inherent to the manufacture of Portland cement releases carbon dioxide, a GHG, cement kiln operations may be disproportionately affected by future regulation of GHGs. Climate change and

39

legislation and regulation concerning GHGs could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Unexpected operational difficulties at our facilities could disrupt operations, raise costs, and reduce revenue and earnings in the affected locations.

The reliability and efficiency of certain of our facilities is dependent upon vital pieces of equipment, such as our cement manufacturing kilns in Hannibal, Missouri and Davenport, Iowa. Although we have scheduled outages to perform maintenance on certain of our facilities, vital equipment may periodically experience unanticipated disruptions due to accidents, mechanical failures or other unanticipated events such as fires, explosions, violent weather conditions or other unexpected operational difficulties. A substantial interruption of one of our facilities could require us to make significant capital expenditures to restore operations and could disrupt our operations, raise costs, and reduce revenue and earnings in the affected locations.

We are dependent on information technology. Our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cyber security risks and data leakage risks.

We are dependent on information technology systems and infrastructure. Any significant breakdown, invasion, destruction or interruption of these systems by employees, others with authorized access to our systems, or unauthorized persons could negatively affect operations. There is also a risk that we could experience a business interruption, theft of information or reputational damage as a result of a cyber attack, such as an infiltration of a data center, or data leakage of confidential information either internally or at our third-party providers. While we have invested in the protection of our data and information technology to reduce these risks and periodically test the security of our information systems network, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent breakdowns or breaches in our systems that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

Labor disputes could disrupt operations of our businesses.

As of September 26, 2015, labor unions represented approximately 6% of our total employees, substantially all at Continental Cement and Mainland. Our collective bargaining agreements for employees generally expire between 2016 and 2020. Although we believe we have good relations with our employees and unions, disputes with our trade unions, or the inability to renew our labor agreements, could lead to strikes or other actions that could disrupt our operations and, consequently, adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and liquidity in the affected locations.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the exchange notes in the exchange offer. The exchange offer is intended to satisfy our obligations under the registration rights agreement that we entered into in connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes. As consideration for issuing the exchange notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange a like principal amount of outstanding notes, the terms of which are identical in all material respects to the exchange notes, except that the exchange notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or additional interest upon a failure to fulfill certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement. The outstanding notes that are surrendered in exchange for the exchange notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. As a result, the issuance of the exchange notes will not result in any change in our capitalization.

41

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our consolidated cash and cash equivalents and capitalization as of September 26, 2015 on an actual basis and on an as adjusted basis to give effect to the private offering of the outstanding notes that occurred in November 2015 and the use of proceeds therefrom as if they had occurred on that date.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived by applying pro forma adjustments to our and the Lafarge Target Business’ historical financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information, accounting judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent our balance sheet or results of operations that would actually have occurred had the transactions referred to below been consummated on September 26, 2015 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and on December 29, 2013 for the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, or to project our financial position or results of operations for any future date or period. The adjustments are described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.

The Lafarge Target Business’ predecessor results included in the pro forma statements are presented based on their fiscal year, which is based on calendar period ends. Summit Materials’ fiscal year is based on a52-53 week period, as applicable, commencing on the first day following the end of the prior fiscal year and ending on a Saturday. The resulting difference is not considered material to the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and the year ended December 27, 2014 are presented on a pro forma adjusted basis to give effect to the following items:

• the issuance of $300.0 million of outstanding notes (the “November 2023 Notes Issuance”) and subsequent redemption of $153.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes;

• the completion of Summit Inc.’s IPO on March 17, 2015;

• the redemption of $288.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes that occurred in April 2015 (the “April 2020 Notes Redemption”);

• the offering and sale of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of existing notes in July 2015 (the “July 2023 Notes Issuance”);

• the closing of and borrowings under our term loan facility in August 2015 and our existing revolving credit facility;

• the closing of the Davenport Acquisition;

• the repayment of certain indebtedness, including the redemption of $183.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes that occurred on August 3, 2015 (the “August 2020 Notes Redemption”);

• the completion of Summit Inc.’s August 2015 Follow-on Offering and the application of approximately $555.8 million in net proceeds, based on the offering price of $25.75, to purchase 18,675,000 outstanding LP Units from certain holders and 3,750,000 newly-issued LP Units from Summit Holdings; and

• payment of actual and estimated premiums, fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing.

Summit Materials entered into a supply agreement with Lafarge concurrent with the closing of the Davenport Acquisition (the “Davenport Supply Agreement”). The Davenport Supply Agreement provides us with the option to purchase up to a certain quantity of cement from Lafarge at an agreed-upon price. There is no

43

minimum purchase requirement in the supply agreement, which may be extended to, but end no later than, March 31, 2016. Due to the number of estimates required to determine the effect of the supply agreement on our results of operations, the estimated $13.4 million and $30.2 million of revenue and $10.9 million and $25.4 million of cost of revenue in 2015 prior to the acquisition on July 17, 2015 and the year ended December 27, 2014, respectively, are not included in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information below. These estimated revenues and cost of revenues represent estimates we developed based on our understanding of historical volumes and our forecast of future activities, including among other things, volumes, selling prices and freight costs. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, important factors could affect our results and could cause these amounts to differ materially, including without limitation variances in capacity and demand from period to period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the information contained in “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements for Summit Materials and the Lafarge Target Business included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(a) The $123.4 million increase to cash and cash equivalents represents $300.0 million of proceeds from the private offering of the outstanding notes net of $1.9 million original issuance discount, an estimated $5.0 million of fees and expenses related to the private offering of the outstanding notes, redemption of $153.8 million the 2020 notes and $15.9 million of accrued interest and prepayment fees thereon.

(b) We estimate fees and expenses associated with the private offering of the outstanding notes to be $5.0 million. The pro forma adjustment for these fees is included as an increase to deferred financing fees in other assets and a reduction of cash and cash equivalents.

(c) We estimate accrued interest on the $153.8 million of redeemed 2020 notes to be $5.7 million. The pro forma adjustment for accrued interest is included as a decrease to accrued expenses and reduction of cash and cash equivalents.

(d) We estimate a net increase to long-term debt of $138.8 million, which reflects the $298.1 million of net proceeds from the private offering of the outstanding notes, net of original issuance discount and before fees and expenses, less the redemption of $153.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes and write-off of the related $5.6 million net premium.

(e) We estimate that we will incur a $10.2 million prepayment fee associated with the redemption of the $153.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes and will write-off the $5.6 million net premium on the 2020 notes. The net $4.6 million pro forma adjustment for the prepayment fee and premium write-off is included as a decrease to accumulated deficit and reduction of cash and cash equivalents.

See accompanying notes to unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

47

(a) The pre-acquisition results of Davenport Acquisition reflect the results of the Lafarge Target Business for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(b) Represents the $7.6 million of revenue from the Davenport Assets from July 1, 2015 to the acquisition date of July 17, 2015.

(c) Represents the $5.5 million cost of revenue for the Davenport Assets for the period between July 1, 2015 to the acquisition date of July 17, 2015.

(d) Represents the estimated incremental depreciation expense of approximately $1.1 million per month related to the step-up in value of the Davenport Assets recognized through purchase accounting during the period between December 28, 2014 and July 17, 2015 (approximately seven months of incremental depreciation expense). As the purchase price allocation has not been finalized due to the recent timing of the acquisition, actual values may differ significantly from estimates made.

(e) Represents the elimination of transaction costs recognized during the nine months ended September 26, 2015 in conjunction with the Davenport Acquisition, which were principally composed of third party accounting, legal, valuation and financial advisory fees.

(f) The IPO adjustments for the general and administrative expenses relate to the following:

($ in millions)
Termination of the transaction and management fee agreement with Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C.(1)	$	14.8
Removal of the non-recurring stock compensation modification charge(2)		14.5
Incremental stock compensation expense(2)		(0.7	)
	$	28.6

(1) Under the terms of a transaction and management fee agreement between Summit Holdings and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”), BMP provided monitoring, advisory and consulting services. Amounts incurred under the agreement between December 28, 2014 and March 17, 2015 totaled $1.0 million. In connection with the IPO, the transaction and management fee agreement with BMP was terminated on March 17, 2015 for a final non-recurring payment of approximately $13.8 million, resulting in approximately $14.8 million of costs recognized in the three months ended March 28, 2015.

(2) In conjunction with the IPO, the LP interests of Summit Holdings were reclassified into a single new class of units, which we refer to as “LP Units.” In addition, in substitution for part of the economic benefit of certain classes of units that was not reflected in the conversion of such interests to LP Units, Summit Inc. issued warrants to purchase 160,333 shares of Class A common stock and options to purchase 4,358,842 shares of Class A common stock. Summit Inc. also granted 240,000 options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. In each case, the exercise price of warrants and options was $18.00 per share. In conjunction with these transactions, we recognized a $14.5 million charge in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and incur incremental share-based compensation costs for the remaining unvested amount, which began after Summit Inc.’s IPO and is included in the historical results. The change in annual stock compensation is the difference between the historical results and pro forma stock compensation expense.

(g) This adjustment is to eliminate the loss on debt financings associated with the March 2015 Amendment to the credit agreement, the April 2020 Notes Redemption, the August 2015 term loan refinancing, the July 2023 Notes Issuance and the August 2020 Notes Redemption.

48

(h) Represents the adjustment to interest expense from the April 2020 Notes Redemption, the July 2023 Notes Issuance, the August 2020 Notes Redemption and the August 2015 term loan refinancing as follows:

($ in millions)
Estimated interest expense after consummation of the above mentioned debt transactions(1)	$	16.4
Elimination of historical interest expense(2)		(21.7	)
Estimated incremental interest expense related to the amortization of new deferred financing fees and discount(3)		0.6
	$	(4.7	)

(1) This adjustment is to reflect the estimated interest expense from the term loan facility of $650.0 million (interest rate of 4.25%), the 2023 notes of $350.0 million (interest rate of 6.125%) and the estimated $153.8 million of 2020 notes to remain outstanding (interest rate of 10.5%).

(2) Historical interest expense includes expense related to the historical $414.6 million term loans at approximately 5.1% interest ($5.3 million) and $625.0 million of 2020 notes at 10.5% interest ($16.4 million).

(3) The incremental amortization expense related to deferred financing fees and original issuance discount (premium) was calculated as follows:

($ in millions)
Estimated amortization of deferred financing fees after consummation of the above mentioned debt transactions	$	0.7
Elimination of historical amortization of deferred financing fees		(0.8	)
Estimated amortization of original issuance discount (premium)		0.1
Elimination of historical amortization of original issuance discount (premium)		0.6
	$	0.6

(i) The income tax benefit adjustment relates to the change in debt balance in our C corporation subsidiaries as a result of the 2020 notes redemptions and the sale of the existing notes and the outstanding notes.

(j) Reflects an adjustment to record the 50.7%, or 50,332,297 of 99,342,035 total LP Units, of noncontrolling interests that partners of Summit Holdings (other than Summit Inc.) own in Summit Holdings after Summit Inc.’s IPO and August 2015 Follow-on Offering. This is calculated as the pro forma net income from continuing operations multiplied by 50.7%.

(k) Represents $1.7 million of incremental interest expense on $300.0 million of 6.125% outstanding notes as compared to $153.8 million of 10.5% 2020 notes redeemed and $1.2 million of incremental amortization of deferred financing fees and the original issuance discount.

(l) Represents the income tax benefit related to the incremental interest expense and write-off of the net premium on the $153.8 million of redeemed 2020 notes.

(a) Represents the estimated incremental depreciation expense of approximately $1.0 million per month related to the step-up in value of the Davenport Assets recognized through purchase accounting during the year ended December 31, 2014. As the purchase price allocation has not been finalized due to the recent timing of the acquisition, actual values may differ significantly from estimates made.

(b) Represents the transaction costs recognized in conjunction with the Davenport Acquisition, which were principally composed of third party accounting, legal, valuation and financial advisory fees.

(c) The IPO adjustments for the general and administrative expenses relate to the following:

($ in millions)
Termination of the transaction and management fee agreement with BMP(1)	$	(4.9	)
Incremental stock compensation expense(2)		3.7
	$	(1.2	)

(1) In connection with the formation of Summit Holdings, Summit Holdings entered into a transaction and management fee agreement with BMP to provide monitoring, advisory and consulting services. This is the expenses associated with this agreement that ended with the IPO.

(2) In conjunction with the IPO, the LP interests of Summit Holdings were reclassified into a single new class of units, which we refer to as “LP Units.” In addition, in substitution for part of the economic benefit of certain classes of units that was not reflected in the conversion of such interests to LP Units, Summit Inc. issued warrants to purchase 160,333 shares of Class A common stock and options to purchase 4,358,842 shares of Class A common stock. Summit Inc. also granted 240,000 options to purchase shares of Class A common stock. In each case, the exercise price of warrants and options was $18.00 per share. As a result of these transactions, we expect to incur incremental share-based compensation costs for the remaining unvested amounts.

(d) This adjustment is to recognize the loss on debt financings associated with the March 2015 amendment to the credit agreement, the April 2020 Notes Redemption, the August 2015 term loan refinancing, the July 2023 Notes Issuance and the August 2020 Notes Redemption.

(e) A summary of the effects of the adjustment to interest expense for the year ended December 27, 2014 is as follows:

($ in millions)
Estimated annual interest expense after the Davenport Acquisition(1)	$	65.5
Elimination of historical interest expense(2)		(76.8	)
Estimated incremental interest expense related to the amortization of new deferred financing fees and discount(3)		1.9
	$	(9.4	)

(1) This adjustment is to reflect the estimated interest expense from the term loan facility of $650.0 million (interest rate of 4.25%), the 2023 notes of $350.0 million (interest rate of 6.125%), and the estimated $153.8 million of 2020 notes to remain outstanding (interest rate of 10.5%).

(2) Historical interest expense includes expense related to the historical term loans that had an average balance during 2014 of approximately $417.5 million at approximately 5.0% interest ($20.8 million), $250.0 million of 2020 notes at 10.5% interest outstanding for twelve months in 2014 ($26.3 million), $260.0 million of 2020 notes at 10.5% interest outstanding for approximately 11 1/2 months in 2014 ($26.2 million) and $115.0 million of 2020 notes at 10.5% interest outstanding for approximately three and a half months in 2014 ($3.5 million).

51

(3) The incremental amortization expense of deferred financing fees and original issuance discount (premium) was calculated as follows:

($ in millions)
Estimated annual amortization of deferred financing fees after consummation of the Transactions	$	2.7
Elimination of historical amortization of deferred financing fees and net original issuance premium		(0.2	)
Estimated annual amortization of original issuance premium after consummation of the Transactions		(0.8	)
	$	1.7

(f) The income tax benefit adjustment relates to the change in the debt balance in our C corporation subsidiaries as a result of the 2020 notes redemptions and the sale of the existing notes and the outstanding notes.

(g) Represents the $10.2 million prepayment fee associated with the redemption of the $153.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes, offset by the $5.6 million write-off of the net premium associated with the redemption.

(h) Represents approximately $2.2 million of incremental interest expense on $300.0 million of 6.125% outstanding notes as compared to $153.8 million of 10.5% 2020 notes redeemed and approximately $1.6 million of incremental amortization of deferred financing fees and the original issuance discount.

(i) Represents the income tax benefit related to the incremental interest expense and write-off of the net premium on the $153.8 million of redeemed 2020 notes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition with the “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial Data” section of this prospectus and our audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those described in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus. Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Overview

We are one of the fastest growing construction materials companies in the United States, with a 197% increase in revenue between the year ended December 31, 2010 and the year ended December 27, 2014, as compared to an average increase of approximately 38% in revenue reported by our competitors over the same period. Our materials include aggregates, which we supply across the country, with a focus on Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, and cement, which we supply primarily in Missouri, Iowa and along the Mississippi River. Within our markets, we offer customers a single-source provider for construction materials and related downstream products through our vertical integration. In addition to supplying aggregates to customers, we use our materials internally to produce ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix, which may be sold externally or used in our paving and related services businesses. Our vertical integration creates opportunities to increase aggregates volumes, optimize margin at each stage of production and provide customers with efficiency gains, convenience and reliability, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage.

We have completed 37 acquisitions, which are organized into 11 operating companies that make up our three distinct operating segments—West, Central and East regions—spanning 19 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada and 33 metropolitan statistical areas. We believe each of our operating companies has a top three market share position in its local market area achieved through their respective, extensive operating histories, averaging over 35 years. Our highly experienced management team, led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Hill, a 30-year industry veteran, has successfully enhanced the operations of acquired companies by focusing on scale advantages, cost efficiencies and pricing discipline to improve profitability and cash flow.

As of September 26, 2015, we had 2.1 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves serving our aggregates and cement businesses and operated over 200 sites and plants, to which we believe we have adequate road, barge and/or railroad access. From time to time, in connection with certain acquisitions, we engage a third party engineering firm to perform an aggregates reserves audit, but we do not perform annual reserve audits. By segment, our estimate of proven and probable reserves for which we have permits for extraction and that we consider to be recoverable aggregates of suitable quality for economic extraction, including the underground mine that was substantially completed in 2014 to support our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant, are shown in the table below along with average annual production.

(2) Calculated based on total reserves divided by our average of 2013 and 2014 annual production.

(3) Lease terms range from monthly to on-going with an average lease expiry of 2020.

We operate in 19 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada and currently have assets in 18 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada. The map below illustrates our geographic footprint:

Business Trends and Conditions

The U.S. construction materials industry is composed of four primary sectors: aggregates; cement; ready-mixed concrete; and asphalt paving mix. Each of these materials is widely used in most forms of construction activity. Competition is limited in part by the distance materials can be transported efficiently, resulting in predominantly local or regional operations. Participants in these sectors typically range from small, privately-held companies focused on a single material, product or market to multinational companies that offer a wide array of construction materials, products and related services. We estimate that approximately 65% of the aggregates in the United States are held by private companies.

Our revenue is derived from multiple end-use markets including private residential and nonresidential construction, as well as public infrastructure construction.

Residential and nonresidential construction consists of new construction and repair and remodel markets. The construction sectors in the local economies in which we operate have begun to show signs of recovery. However, we could still be affected by any economic stagnation or decline, which could vary by local region and market. Our sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and particularly to cyclical changes in construction spending, especially in the private sector. From a macroeconomic view, we see positive indicators for the construction sector, including upward trends in housing starts, construction employment and highway obligations. All of these factors should result in increased construction activity in the private sector. However, we do not expect this recovery to be consistent across the United States. Certain of our markets are showing greater, more rapid signs of recovery. Increased construction activity in the private sector could lead to increased public infrastructure spending in the relatively near future. Public infrastructure includes spending by federal, state and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports and other infrastructure projects. Public infrastructure projects have historically been a relatively stable portion of state and federal

56

budgets. Our acquisitions to date have been primarily focused in states with certain constitutional protections for transportation funding sources, which we believe limits our exposure to state and local budgetary uncertainties.

Transportation infrastructure projects, driven by both federal and state funding programs, represent a significant share of the U.S. construction materials market. Federal funds are allocated to the states, which are required to match a portion of the federal funds they receive. Federal highway spending uses funds predominantly from the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which derives its revenue from taxes on diesel fuel, gasoline and other user fees. The dependability of federal funding allows the state departments of transportation to plan for their long term highway construction and maintenance needs. Funding for the existing federal transportation funding program extends through 2020. Any additional funding or successor programs have yet to be approved. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, we expect U.S. infrastructure spending to grow over the long term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase.

In addition to federal funding, highway construction and maintenance funding is also available through state, county and local agencies. Our five largest states by revenue (Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, which represented approximately 34%, 19%, 11%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenue in 2014) each have funds whose revenue sources have certain constitutional protections and are dedicated for transportation projects.

• Texas Department of Transportation’s budget from 2014 to 2016 is $25.3 billion.

• Kansas has a 10-year $8.2 billion highway bill that was passed in May 2010.

• Kentucky’s biennial highway construction plan has funding of $3.6 billion from July 2014 to June 2016.

• Utah’s transportation investment fund has $3.5 billion committed through 2018.

• Missouri has an estimated $0.7 billion in annual construction funding committed to essential road and bridge programs through 2017.

Within many of our markets, state and local governments have taken actions to maintain or grow highway funding during a time of uncertainty with respect to federal funding. For example:

• On November 4, 2014, voters in Texas passed a proposition that is estimated to provide up to $1.7 billion of incremental funding annually to the Texas Department of Transportation. The funds must be used for construction, maintenance, rehabilitation and acquiring right-of-way for public roads. The Texas legislature recently passed the largest two-year budget in the history of the Texas Department of Transportation (with growth in both new construction and maintenance). On November 3, 2015, voters in Texas passed an additional proposition that dedicates up to $2.5 billion of the state’s sales and use tax revenue to the state’s highway fund beginning in 2018, and 35% of any excess revenue over $5 billion generated from the motor vehicles sales tax beginning in 2020.

• Increases in heavy truck registration fees, dedicated sales tax revenue and bond issuances have enabled Kansas to maintain stability in public infrastructure spending.

• We believe that public infrastructure spending in Kentucky, which comprises the majority of our revenue in the state, will remain consistent in the upcoming years.

• We expect primarily maintenance-related public demand in Utah and Missouri, both of which have recently completed large spending programs.

The table below sets forth additional details regarding our five key states, including growth rates as compared to the U.S. as a whole:

(4) Calculated using weighted average based on each state’s percentage contribution to our total revenue.

Use and consumption of our products fluctuate due to seasonality. Nearly all of the products used by us, and by our customers, in the private construction and public infrastructure industries are used outdoors. Our highway operations and production and distribution facilities are also located outdoors. Therefore, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions, in particular extended rainy and cold weather in the spring and fall and major weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms and heavy snows, can adversely affect our business and operations through a decline in both the use of our products and demand for our services. In addition, construction materials production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Warmer and drier weather during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year typically result in higher activity and revenue levels during those quarters.

We are subject to commodity price risk with respect to price changes in liquid asphalt and energy, including fossil fuels and electricity for aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix production, natural gas for hot mix asphalt production and diesel fuel for distribution vehicles and production related mobile equipment. Liquid asphalt escalator provisions in most of our private and commercial contracts limit our exposure to price fluctuations in this commodity. We often obtain similar escalators on public infrastructure contracts. In addition, we enter into various firm purchase commitments, with terms generally less than one year, for certain raw materials. Through effective use of our purchase commitments and a year on year decline in prices, our costs associated with liquid asphalt and energy have decreased $10.5 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 as compared to the nine months ended September 27, 2014, taking into consideration organic and acquisition-related volume increases.

Our acquisition strategy requires capital contributions or debt financings. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, our long-term borrowings, including the current portion and less original issue premium and discount, totaled $1,216.2 million and $1,064.9 million, respectively, and we incurred $61.6 million and $86.7 million of interest expense in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and the year ended December 27, 2014, respectively. Although the amounts borrowed and related interest expense are relatively material to us, we have been in compliance with our debt covenants and have made all required principal and interest payments. In addition, our cash flows provided by operating activities were $79.1 million in the year ended December 27, 2014, which is net of interest payments. Our senior secured revolving credit facility provides us with up to $210.6 million of borrowings, which is net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit. Our senior secured revolving credit facility has been adequate to fund our seasonal working capital needs and certain acquisitions.

58

When we have made additional issuances of senior notes to fund acquisitions, we have complied with the incurrence tests in the indenture that governed the 2020 notes and the indenture governing our existing notes and outstanding notes.

Financial Highlights—Nine Months Ended September 26, 2015

The principal factors in evaluating our financial condition and operating results for the nine months ended September 26, 2015 as compared to September 27, 2014 are:

• Revenue increased $160.7 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, as a result of pricing and volume increases across our product lines, which includes volume contributions from our acquisitions.

• Our operating income increased $20.0 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The improvement in operating income was driven by improved pricing, reduced fuel costs and an increased proportion of sales generated by materials and products, as compared to services.

• In March 2015, Summit Inc. completed an IPO of its Class A common stock, the proceeds of which were used: (i) to redeem $288.2 million in aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2020 notes at a redemption price of 100% and an applicable premium thereon; (ii) to purchase a portion of the noncontrolling interests of Continental Cement; (iii) to pay a one-time fee of $13.8 million in connection with the termination of a transaction and management fee agreement; and (iv) for general corporate purposes.

• In August 2015, Summit Inc. completed a follow-on offering of its Class A common stock. The proceeds were used to purchase 3,750,000 newly-issued LP Units from Summit Holdings and 18,675,000 outstanding LP Units from certain pre-IPO owners, including affiliates of the Sponsors and certain of Summit Inc.’s directors and officers. The entire $80.0 million deferred purchase price for the Davenport Assets was funded with the proceeds.

Financial Highlights—Year Ended December 27, 2014

The principal factors in evaluating our financial condition and operating results for the year ended December 27, 2014, as compared to the year ended December 28, 2013, are:

• Revenue increased $288.0 million in 2014 primarily driven by volume increases across our product lines and net increases in prices. The following table presents volume and average selling price changes by product:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		45.3	%		(1.1	)%

• Our operating earnings increased $117.9 million to income of $70.0 million in 2014 from a $48.0 million loss in 2013 due to the conversion of increased revenue to operating income in 2014 and $68.2 million of goodwill impairment charges in 2013. The goodwill impairment charges were a result of uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Utah and Kentucky construction markets.

• Cash provided by operations improved to $79.1 million in 2014, compared to $66.4 million in 2013 as a result of the improvement in operating income and partially offset by increased interest payments. In 2014, we increased our long-term debt by $375.0 million with the issuance of additional 2020 notes. The proceeds from the borrowings were primarily used to fund acquisitions.

Acquisitions

In addition to our organic growth, we continued to grow our business through acquisitions, completing the following transactions from 2013 to the present:

• On August 21, 2015, we acquired LeGrand, a vertically integrated construction materials company based in Utah and servicing the northern and central Utah, western Wyoming and southern Idaho markets.

• On July 17, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the Davenport Assets. Our combined business has over two million short tons of cement capacity across our two plants in Hannibal, Missouri and Davenport, Iowa and eight cement distribution terminals along the Mississippi River from Minneapolis, Minnesota to New Orleans, Louisiana.

• On June 1, 2015, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Lewis & Lewis, a vertically integrated, aggregates-based business in Wyoming.

• On October 3, 2014, we purchased Concrete Supply, which included two sand and gravel sites and 10 ready-mixed concrete plants in Topeka and northeast Kansas, and a ready-mixed concrete plant in western Missouri.

• On September 30, 2014, we acquired all of the outstanding ownership interests in Colorado County S&G, M & M Gravel Sales, Inc., Marek Materials Co. Operating, Ltd. and Marek Materials Co., L.L.C., which collectively supply aggregates to the west Houston, Texas markets.

• On September 19, 2014, we acquired all of the membership interests of Southwest Ready Mix, which included two ready-mixed concrete plants and serves the downtown and southwest Houston, Texas markets.

• On September 4, 2014, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares and certain shareholder notes of Rock Head Holdings Ltd. and B.I.M. Holdings Ltd., which collectively indirectly owned all the shares of Mainland Sand and Gravel Ltd., a supplier of construction aggregates to the Vancouver metropolitan area based in Surrey, British Columbia.

• On July 29, 2014, we acquired all of the assets of Canyon Redi-Mix, Inc. The acquired assets include two ready-mixed concrete plants, which serve the Permian Basin region of West Texas.

• On June 9, 2014, we acquired all of the membership interests of Buckhorn Materials, LLC, an aggregates quarry in South Carolina, and Construction Materials Group LLC, a sand pit in South Carolina.

• On March 31, 2014, we acquired all of the stock of Troy Vines, an integrated aggregates and ready-mixed concrete business headquartered in Midland, Texas, which serves the Permian Basin region of West Texas.

• On January 17, 2014, we acquired certain aggregates and ready-mixed concrete assets of Alleyton in Houston, Texas, which expands our presence in the Texas market.

• On April 1, 2013, we acquired certain aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt assets of Lafarge in and around Wichita, Kansas, which expanded our footprint in the Wichita market across our lines of business.

• On April 1, 2013, we acquired the membership interests of Westroc in Utah. The Westroc acquisition expanded our market coverage for aggregates and ready-mixed concrete in Utah.

Components of Operating Results

Total Revenue

We derive our revenue predominantly by selling construction materials and products and providing paving and related services. Construction materials consist of aggregates and cement. Products consist of related

60

downstream products, including ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paying mix and concrete products. Paving and related services that we provide are primarily asphalt paving services.

Revenue derived from construction materials sales are recognized when risks associated with ownership have passed to unaffiliated customers. Typically this occurs when products are shipped. Product revenue generally includes sales of aggregates, cement and related downstream products and other materials to customers, net of discounts or allowances and taxes, if any.

Revenue derived from paving and related services are recognized on the percentage-of-completion basis, measured by the cost incurred to date compared to estimated total cost of each project. This method is used because management considers cost incurred to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts. Due to the inherent uncertainties in estimating costs, it is at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change over the life of the contract.

Operating Costs and Expenses

The key components of our operating costs and expenses consist of the following:

Cost of Revenue (excluding items shown separately)

Cost of revenue consists of all production and delivery costs and primarily includes labor, repair and maintenance, utilities, raw materials, fuel, transportation, subcontractor costs, royalties and other direct costs incurred in the production and delivery of our products and services. Our cost of revenue is directly affected by fluctuations in commodity energy prices, primarily diesel fuel, liquid asphalt and other petroleum-based resources. As a result, our operating profit margins can be significantly affected by changes in the underlying cost of certain raw materials if they are not recovered through corresponding changes in revenue. We attempt to limit our exposure to changes in commodity energy prices by entering into forward purchase commitments when appropriate. In addition, we have sales price adjustment provisions that provide for adjustments based on fluctuations outside a limited range in certain energy-related production costs. These provisions are in place for most of our public infrastructure contracts, and we aggressively seek to include similar price adjustment provisions in our private contracts.

Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill impairment charges consist of the amount by which the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value. See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment.”

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and personnel costs for our sales and marketing, administration, finance and accounting, legal, information systems, human resources and certain managerial employees. Additional expenses include audit, consulting and professional fees, travel, insurance, rental costs, property taxes and other corporate and overhead expenses.

Transaction Costs

Transaction costs consist primarily of third party accounting, legal, valuation and financial advisory fees incurred in connection with acquisitions.

61

Depreciation, Depletion, Amortization and Accretion

Our business is capital intensive. We carry property, plant and equipment on our balance sheet at cost, net of applicable depreciation, depletion and amortization. Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis or based on the economic usage over the estimated useful life of the asset. The general range of depreciable lives by category, excluding mineral reserves, which are depleted based on the units of production method on a site-by-site basis, is as follows:

Buildings and improvements	7 - 40 years
Plant, machinery and equipment	20 - 40 years
Office equipment	3 - 6 years
Truck and auto fleet	5 - 10 years
Mobile equipment and barges	15 - 20 years
Landfill airspace and improvements	5 - 60 years
Other	2 - 10 years

Amortization expense is the periodic expense related to leasehold improvements and intangible assets, which were primarily acquired with certain acquisitions. The intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of the life of the underlying asset or the remaining lease term.

Accretion expense is the periodic expense recorded for the accrued mining reclamation liabilities and landfill closure and post-closure liabilities using the effective interest method.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our results of operations is focused on the key financial measures we use to evaluate the performance of our business from both a consolidated and operating segment perspective. Operating income and margins are discussed in terms of changes in volume, pricing and mix of revenue source (i.e., type of product sales or service revenue). We focus on operating margin, which we define as operating income as a percentage of revenue, as a key metric when assessing the performance of the business, as we believe that analyzing changes in costs in relation to changes in revenue provides more meaningful insight into the results of operations than examining costs in isolation.

Operating income (loss) reflects our profit (loss) from continuing operations after taking into consideration cost of revenue, general and administrative expenses, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs. Cost of revenue generally increases ratably with revenue, as labor, transportation costs and subcontractor costs are recorded in cost of revenue. General and administrative costs as a percentage of revenue vary throughout the year due to the seasonality of our business. As a result of our revenue growth occurring primarily through acquisitions, general and administrative costs and depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion have historically grown ratably with revenue. However, as volumes increase, we expect these costs, as a percentage of revenue, to decrease. Our transaction costs fluctuate with the number and size of acquisitions completed each year.

(1) Corporate results primarily consist of compensation and office expenses for employees included in our headquarters and in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, $28.3 million of costs associated with Summit Inc.’s March 2015 IPO.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

We evaluate our operating performance using metrics that we refer to as “Adjusted EBITDA” and “gross margin” which are not defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to earnings measures defined by U.S. GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA, as adjusted to exclude accretion, loss on debt financings, IPO costs and loss from discontinued operations. We define gross profit as operating income (loss) before general and administrative costs, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and transaction costs and gross margin as gross profit as a percentage of revenue. We present these metrics for the convenience of investment professionals who use such metrics in their analyses. The investment community often uses Adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of a company’s ability to incur and service debt, to assess the operating performance of a company’s business and to provide a more consistent comparison of performance from period to period. We use Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin, among other metrics, to assess the operating performance of our individual segments and the consolidated company. Adjusted EBITDA and gross margin are used for certain items to provide a more consistent comparison of performance from period to period. In addition, we use a metric we refer to as “Further Adjusted EBITDA,” which we define as Adjusted EBITDA plus certain non-cash or non-operating items and the EBITDA contribution of certain recent acquisitions, to measure our compliance with debt covenants and to evaluate flexibility under certain restrictive covenants. See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Indebtedness” on pages 85 through 87 for more information. We do not use this metric as a measure to allocate resources.

In addition, non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized; therefore, it may not be possible to compare such financial measures with other companies’ non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. We strongly encourage investors to review our consolidated interim and audited financial statements in their entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Operating margin		6.5	%		5.4	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	182,443		$	112,901			61.6	%

Revenue increased $160.7 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, of which $89.5 million and $99.3 million of increased sales of materials and products, respectively, was partially offset by a $28.1 million decrease in service revenue. We had volume growth in our aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete lines of business, driven by the 2014 acquisitions and organic growth. We grew revenue organically, excluding cement, by $4.4 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The Davenport Assets acquired in July 2015 were immediately integrated with our existing cement operations such that it is impracticable to bifurcate the $44.7 million increase in cement revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

65

As a vertically-integrated company, we include intercompany sales from materials to products and from products to services when assessing the operating results of our business. We refer to revenue inclusive of intercompany sales as gross revenue. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Gross revenue by line of business was as follows:

	Nine months ended
	September 26, 2015			September 27, 2014			Variance
($ in thousands)
Revenue by product:*
Aggregates	$	218,336		$	160,002		$	58,334

* Revenue by product includes intercompany and intracompany sales transferred at market value. The elimination of intracompany transactions is included in Other. Revenue from the liquid asphalt terminals is included in asphalt revenue.

Gross revenue for paving and related services decreased $25.6 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, primarily as a result of decreased activity in Texas, Utah and Kansas. Detail of our volumes and average selling prices by product in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and the nine months ended September 27, 2014 were as follows:

	Nine months ended September 26, 2015				Nine months ended September 27, 2014				Percentage Change in
	Volume(1)		Pricing(2)		Volume(1)		Pricing(2)		Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		23,949	$	9.12		17,684	$	9.05		35.4	%		0.8	%
Cement		1,100		100.44		773		89.86		42.3	%		11.8	%
Ready-mixed concrete		2,493		102.22		1,968		96.13		26.7	%		6.3	%
Asphalt		3,288		57.52		3,173		54.95		3.6	%		4.7	%

(1) Volumes are shown in thousands and in tons for aggregates, cement and asphalt and in cubic yards for ready-mixed concrete.

(2) Pricing is shown on a per ton basis for aggregates, cement and asphalt and on a per cubic yard basis for ready-mixed concrete.

Aggregates volumes were positively affected by the 2014 acquisitions. Aggregates pricing was affected by the U.S./Canadian exchange rate and product mix in the East region. Absent the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, aggregates pricing would have increased 4.0% in the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

Our cement volumes increased as a result of the July 2015 acquisition of the Davenport Assets and prices increased as a result of an improved market and a higher proportion of sales to low-volume customers. Ready-mixed concrete volumes were positively affected by the 2014 acquisitions in Texas and, to a lesser extent, in Kansas, and prices increased as a result of the improved cement pricing. Asphalt volumes and prices increased from the comparable periods. In 2014, asphalt volumes included a higher percentage of base materials. The increased pricing was largely due to a shift in product mix. Prior to eliminations, the net effect of these volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was approximately $146.5 million and $34.1 million, respectively.

66

Operating income increased $20.0 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and Adjusted EBITDA improved $69.5 million. For the nine months ended September 26, 2015 operating margin increased from 5.4% to 6.5%, which was attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2014	5.4	%
IPO costs(1)	(2.7	)%
Gross margin(2)	4.4	%
Other	0.6	%
Operating margin—2015	6.5	%

(1) In conjunction with Summit Inc.’s March 2015 IPO, we recognized a $14.5 million charge on the modification of our share-based awards and a $13.8 million charge on the termination of a management fee agreement with our Sponsors. The management fee agreement was terminated on March 17, 2015.

(2) As noted above, gross margin improved primarily due to a shift in product mix. Our acquisitions in 2015 and 2014 were primarily materials and products businesses. As a result, and as shown in the table above, gross revenue from aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete was 21.2%, 10.7% and 24.7%, respectively, of total revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 compared to 18.4%, 8.0% and 21.7%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 27, 2014. Gross revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products, was 35.5% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 compared to 40.0% in the nine months ended September 27, 2014.

Other Financial Information

Loss on Debt Financings

In the nine months ended September 26, 2015, we recognized $64.3 million of losses associated with the March 2015 amendment to the credit agreement, the April 2015 $288.2 redemption of 2020 notes and the August 2015 term loan refinancing, $350.0 million issuance of 2023 notes and $183.0 million redemption of 2020 notes.

Income Tax Benefit

The income tax benefit increased $10.0 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, reflective of the tax benefit associated with the loss on debt financings that was recognized in our C corporations.

Gross revenue for paving and related services increased by $9.1 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The West region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 from the nine months ended September 27, 2014 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		64.7	%		2.3	%
Ready-mixed concrete		22.6	%		7.1	%
Asphalt		6.2	%		8.3	%

Aggregates and ready-mixed concrete volume increases primarily occurred in Texas. Ready-mixed concrete prices increased as a result of higher cement prices in our markets. Asphalt volumes and pricing increased. In 2014, asphalt volumes included a higher percentage of base materials. The increased asphalt pricing was largely due to a shift in product mix. Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was approximately $89.9 million and $22.8 million, respectively.

The West region’s operating income increased $25.2 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA improved $39.3 million. The improvement was primarily driven by the inclusion of the 2014 acquisitions in the Houston and Midland/Odessa, Texas and British Columbia, Canada markets and organic volume growth. In the nine months ended September 26, 2015 operating margin increased from 10.0% to 12.2%, which was attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2014	10.0	%
Gross margin(1)	3.3	%
Other	(1.1	)%
Operating margin—2015	12.2	%

(1) The operating margin improvement in the West region was primarily due to a shift in product mix. Our acquisitions in 2015 and 2014 were primarily materials and products businesses. As a result and as shown in the table above, gross revenue from aggregates was 19.4% of total revenue in the nine months ended

68

September 26, 2015, compared to 14.4% in the nine months ended September 27, 2014. Gross revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products, was 38.5% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, compared to 46.2% in the nine months ended September 27, 2014.

Revenue in the Central region increased $55.1 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. Incremental revenue from acquisitions, excluding the Davenport Assets, totaled $20.5 million and organic revenue, excluding cement, decreased $10.1 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, was due to a decrease in paving and related services in Kansas. The Davenport Assets acquired in July 2015 were immediately integrated with our existing cement operations such that it is impracticable to bifurcate the $44.7 million increase in cement revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. Gross revenue by product/service was as follows:

The $17.0 million decrease in paving and related services was driven by decreased demand for our services in Kansas in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The Central region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 from the nine months ended September 27, 2014 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		8.2	%		2.5	%
Cement		42.3	%		11.8	%
Ready-mixed concrete		41.8	%		3.9	%
Asphalt		1.6	%		(3.3	)%

69

In 2015, volumes increased among all of the Central region’s product lines. The increase in aggregates, cement and ready-mixed concrete gross revenue were driven by both volume and pricing growth. The volume increase in aggregates occurred primarily in Missouri. Our cement volumes increased as a result of the July 2015 acquisition of the Davenport Assets and prices increased as a result of an improved market and a higher proportion of sales to low-volume customers. The ready-mixed concrete prices benefited from the increased cement pricing. Asphalt volumes remained relatively consistent, while pricing declined due to lower commodity prices passed on to customers. Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was approximately $57.0 million and $11.5 million, respectively.

The Central region’s operating income increased $21.9 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA improved $30.8 million. For the nine months ended September 26, 2015 operating margin increased from 10.7% to 15.5%, which was attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2014	10.7	%
Curtailment(1)	(0.4	)%
Gross margin(2)	5.7	%
Other	(0.5	)%
Operating margin—2015	15.5	%

(1) A $1.3 million curtailment benefit was recognized in 2014 related to a retiree postretirement benefit plan maintained for certain union employees at our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant, which was amended to eliminate all future retiree health and life coverage for the remaining union employees, effective January 1, 2014.

(2) The gross margin improvement in the Central region was primarily due to a shift in product mix. Our acquisitions in 2015 and 2014 were primarily materials and products businesses. As a result and as shown in the table above, gross revenue from cement and ready-mixed concrete was 32.6% and 17.7%, respectively, of total revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, compared to 24.5% and 14.4%, respectively, in the nine months ended September 27, 2014. Gross revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products, was 22.7% of total revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, compared to 33.0% in the nine months ended September 27, 2014.

The $17.7 million decrease in paving and related services was driven by decreased demand for our services in Kentucky in the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The East region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 from the nine months ended September 27, 2014 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		12.6	%		2.3	%

Aggregate volumes in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 increased 12.6% as a result of the Buckhorn Materials acquisition on April 1, 2014. Aggregates pricing increased as a result of an improved market and shift in product mix. Prior to eliminations of intercompany transactions, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on gross revenue in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was approximately ($0.5) million and ($0.1) million, respectively.

The East region’s operating income increased $6.7 million in the nine months ended September 26, 2015, and Adjusted EBITDA improved $4.6 million. In the nine months ended September 26, 2015 operating margin increased from (1.8)% to 5.1%, which was primarily attributable to the increased aggregate volumes.

Fiscal Year 2014 Compared to 2013

Operating margin		5.8	%		(5.2	)%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	161,232		$	94,896		$	66,336	69.9	%

Revenue increased $288.0 million in 2014 due to a $244.4 million and $43.6 million increase in product and service revenue, respectively. We had volume growth in each of our lines of business, driven primarily by the 2014 and 2013 acquisitions and organic growth. Organic revenue, or incremental revenue that was not derived from acquisitions, increased by $81.7 million, or 8.9%, while the remaining 22.5% of our revenue increase, or $206.3 million, was from acquisitions. Revenue in 2014 and 2013 included $133.6 million and $91.8 million, respectively, of delivery and subcontract revenue, which is recorded gross in revenue and cost of revenue.

As a vertically-integrated company, we include intercompany sales from materials to products and from products to services when assessing the operating results of our business. These intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements. Prior to eliminations, the net effect of the volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately $238.8 million and $66.1 million, respectively. Revenue for paving and related services increased $50.5 million primarily as a result of increased activity in Texas, Utah and Kansas. Prior to eliminations, the revenue changes by product/service were as follows:

Detail of consolidated percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in 2014 from 2013 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		45.3	%		(1.1	)%
Cement		9.0	%		7.2	%
Ready-mixed concrete		135.7	%		3.4	%
Asphalt		8.8	%		(0.4	)%

In the year ended December 27, 2014, volumes increased in all of our product lines. Aggregates and ready-mixed concrete volumes were positively affected by our 2014 and 2013 acquisitions. The 1.1% net decrease in aggregates pricing was due to lower average prices from our acquisitions, partially offset by increased pricing in our organic aggregates sales. In addition, the 3.4% increase in ready-mixed concrete pricing was constrained by different pricing structures across our markets. The majority of the increase in ready-mixed volumes occurred in Texas, which has lower average selling prices than our ready-mixed concrete operations outside of Texas.

Cement volumes grew 9.0% and pricing increased 7.2% due to overall price improvements and a shift in customer mix. Cement sales in 2014 included a greater percentage of low volume, or retail, sales, which generally are sold at a higher price than sales to high-volume customers. Customer mix varies each year based on demand in the applicable markets. Asphalt volumes increased 8.8% and pricing decreased slightly by 0.4%, due to product mix and despite an increase in underlying prices. Asphalt sales in 2014 included a greater percentage of asphalt base mix, which is thicker than intermediate or surface mix, and has a lower selling price per ton.

72

In 2014, operating income increased $117.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $66.3 million as a result of the increase in revenue discussed above and the improvement in operating margin from (5.2)% to 5.8%. The increase in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2013	(5.2	)%
2013 Goodwill impairment(1)	5.7	%
G&A(2)	3.0	%
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion(3)	0.7	%
Transaction costs(4)	(0.3	)%
Other(5)	1.9	%
Operating margin—2014	5.8	%

(1) In 2013, we recognized $68.2 million of goodwill impairment charges. Approximately $53.3 million and $14.9 million of the goodwill impairments charges were recognized in our West (Utah) and East (Kentucky) regions, respectively. The goodwill impairment was a result of a decline in the estimated fair value of certain reporting units caused by uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Utah and Kentucky construction markets.

Revenue generated from the Utah-based operations declined 7.2% from $204.1 million in 2012 to $189.4 million in 2013, compared to $221.0 million, or a 8.3% increase, adjusted for acquisitions, that was assumed in the 2012 goodwill impairment analysis. The Utah operations incurred an operating loss of $4.5 million, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, and $13.3 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, demonstrating an improvement in operating loss, but not yet earning operating income. The fair value estimates used in this assessment were dependent upon assumptions and estimates about the future profitability and other financial metrics of our reporting units, as well as relevant financial data, recent transactions and market valuations of comparable public companies. The increase in cash flows from 2012 to 2013 projected in the 2012 goodwill analysis assumed that an increase in housing permits and infrastructure spending in Utah would result in increased revenue for our operations. However, our revenue, and the private construction and public infrastructure spending, did not increase as projected. In the 2013 goodwill analysis, we assumed that an economic recovery in this market would be delayed beyond 2014, which resulted in a decrease in the overall valuation of the Utah operations. Subsequent to the 2013 goodwill analysis, management determined that certain cost savings measures would be required for 2014, including a reduction in G&A. Any benefits from such cost reductions were not assumed in the 2013 goodwill analysis, as they had not been fully quantified when it was completed. During the year ended December 27, 2014, the Utah-based operations’ earnings exceeded the 2014 full year earnings that were forecast in the 2013 goodwill analysis. This earnings improvement was driven by $11.8 million of G&A reductions, which was primarily a result of a 20% headcount reduction of Utah’s G&A operations and a $4.4 million loss on the disposition of certain assets in Colorado that was recognized in 2013. We believe that the risk of additional impairment of the $36.6 million of the Utah operation’s remaining goodwill is low given that the 2013 analysis assumed a delayed market recovery and did not take into consideration cost cutting measures that could be, and were, implemented in 2014.

The operating loss in the East region, which is the Kentucky reporting unit, improved from a loss of $0.2 million in 2012 to approximately break-even in 2013, excluding the goodwill impairment charge. An operating loss was incurred despite a 15.2% increase in revenue. We had expected revenue growth from public infrastructure projects to exceed that which has been realized and is expected in the near term. We also had expected operating income improvements at a greater rate than was projected at the time the 2013 goodwill analysis was performed.

After recognizing these impairment charges, the goodwill attributable to the Utah and Kentucky reporting units was $36.6 million and zero, respectively. We do not believe material uncertainty that could result in an additional impairment charge exists in these reporting units.

73

(2) G&A, as a percentage of revenue, declined from 15.5% in 2013 to 12.5% in 2014. During 2013, we invested in our infrastructure (finance, information technology, legal and human resources) and expect G&A, as a percentage of revenue, to stabilize in 2015 and beyond. In addition, we incurred a $4.4 million loss on the disposition of certain assets in Colorado in 2013.

(3) Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, as a percentage of revenue, declined from 8.0% in 2013 to 7.3% in 2014. Increased investments in depreciable assets through either capital expenditures or business acquisitions generally increase depreciation expense, while assets being fully depreciated or disposed generally decrease depreciation expense. In 2014, our revenue grew approximately 22.5% from acquisitions, which exceeded the percentage increase in depreciation expense recognized from the acquisitions. As a result, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, as a percentage of revenue, decreased from 2013 despite an overall increase in depreciable assets.

(4) Transaction costs increased $4.6 million in 2014 as a result of the eight acquisitions in 2014 compared to two acquisitions in 2013.

(5) The remaining margin improvement was primarily a result of a shift in product and customer mix. Our acquisitions in 2014 were materials and products businesses. As a result and as shown in the table above, revenue from aggregates and ready-mixed concrete was 19.0% and 22.8%, respectively, of total revenue in 2014 compared to 17.4% and 12.3%, respectively in 2013. Revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products, was 43.9% of total revenue in 2014 compared to 52.2% in 2013.

Other Financial Information

Loss on Debt Financings

In February 2013, we completed a repricing of our credit facilities, which provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $422.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $150.0 million (the “senior secured credit facilities”), which reduced our stated term-loan interest rate by 1.0% and provided additional borrowing capacity of $25.0 million. As a result of the repricing, we recognized a loss of $3.1 million for related bank fees. We did not refinance our debt in 2014.

In 2014, the West region’s aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt volumes increased and pricing of aggregates improved. Ready-mixed concrete pricing declined as a result of the 2014 acquisitions in Texas, as ready-mixed concrete prices in the Texas markets are lower than in our markets outside of Texas. Asphalt pricing declined 0.5% due to product mix and despite an increase in underlying prices. Asphalt sales in 2014 included a greater percentage of asphalt base mix, which is thicker than intermediate or surface mix, and has a lower selling price. The West region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in 2014 from 2013 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		125.8	%		1.1	%
Ready-mixed concrete		247.2	%		(0.3	)%
Asphalt		8.0	%		(0.5	)%

The West region’s operating income increased $109.4 million and operating margin improved from (11.1)% in 2013 to 9.3% in 2014. The improvement was primarily driven by the 2014 acquisitions in the Houston and Midland/Odessa Texas markets and organic volume growth. The increase in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2013	(11.1	)%
Goodwill impairment(1)	8.0	%
G&A(2)	5.7	%
Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion(3)	0.7	%
Other(4)	6.0	%
Operating margin—2014	9.3	%

(1) A $53.3 million goodwill impairment charge in 2013 from a decline in the estimated fair value of our reporting unit based in Utah caused by uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Utah construction market.

(2) G&A, as a percentage of revenue, declined from 15.6% to 9.9% in 2014. During 2014, we reduced G&A in the Utah-based operations by $11.8 million, which was primarily a result of a 20% headcount reduction of Utah’s G&A operations and $4.4 million loss in 2013 on the disposition of certain assets in Colorado. These G&A reductions were partially offset by increases resulting from the 2014 acquisitions in the West region.

(3) Depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, as a percentage of revenue, declined from 5.7% to 5.0% in 2014. In 2014, our revenue grew approximately 44.5% from acquisitions, which exceeded the percentage increase in depreciation expense recognized from the 2014 acquisitions. As a result, depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion increased at less of a rate than revenue.

75

(4) The remaining margin improvement was primarily a result of a shift in product and customer mix. Our acquisitions in 2014 were materials and products businesses. As a result and as shown in the table above, revenue from aggregates and ready-mixed concrete was 16.0% and 32.1%, respectively, of total revenue in 2014 compared to 10.9% and 14.5%, respectively in 2013. Revenue from paving and related services, which generally has lower operating margins than the materials and products, was 44.4% of total revenue in 2014 compared to 60.9% in 2013.

Operating margin		11.3	%		11.9	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	83,912		$	73,561		$	10,351	14.1	%

Revenue in the Central region increased $61.9 million, or 18.8%, in 2014 due primarily to organic revenue growth and acquisitions. Organic growth accounted for approximately 15.1%, or $49.6 million, of the increase in 2014, and incremental revenue from acquisitions accounted for approximately 3.7%, or $12.3 million in 2014. Of the total $61.9 million revenue increase, $38.8 million was attributable to increased product revenue and $23.1 million was attributable to increased service revenue, which is primarily paving and related services, but also includes certain other revenues earned. Prior to eliminations, the net effect of the volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately $31.1 million and $11.3 million, respectively. The $27.3 million increase in paving and related services was driven by increased demand for our services in Kansas. Prior to eliminations, the revenue changes by product/service were as follows:

In 2014, volumes increased among all of the Central region’s product lines. The increase in aggregates and asphalt volumes were due to strong, primarily organic, demand in our Kansas markets. Cement volumes increased 9.0% and prices increased 7.2% due to overall price improvements and a shift in customer mix. Cement sales in 2014 included a greater percentage of low volume, or retail, sales, which generally are sold at a higher price than sales to high-volume customers. Customer mix varies each year based on demand in the applicable markets. Overall, product pricing increased, while asphalt pricing declined due to a change in product mix. The Central region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in 2014 from 2013 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Pricing
Aggregates		8.2	%		2.0	%
Cement		9.0	%		7.2	%
Ready-mixed concrete		10.3	%		8.8	%
Asphalt		38.3	%		(3.9	)%

The Central region’s operating income increased $4.9 million and operating margin decreased by 60 basis points in 2014. Operating income was positively affected by the volume growth in each line of business, synergies realized from the April 1, 2013 acquisition of the Lafarge-Wichita assets, a $1.3 million curtailment benefit recognized in 2014 related to a retiree postretirement benefit plan maintained for certain union employees and a $0.8 million charge recognized in 2013 to remove a sunken barge from the Mississippi River. These profit improvements were somewhat offset by increased repair and maintenance expense at the Hannibal, Missouri cement plant and a $1.4 million impairment charge on inventory. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2013	11.9	%

(1) A $1.3 million curtailment benefit was recognized in 2014 related to a retiree postretirement benefit plan maintained for certain union employees at our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant, which was amended to eliminate all future retiree health and life coverage for the remaining union employees, effective January 1, 2014.

(2) A $1.8 million charge was recognized in 2013 to remove a sunken barge from the Mississippi River. No charges for the barge removal were recognized in 2014.

(3) During 2014, $1.4 million of impairment charges were recognized on inventory in the Central region.

(4) During 2014, we recognized $3.3 million of additional repair and maintenance and production costs at our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant as compared to 2013.

The East region’s revenue decreased $13.4 million, or 8.4%, in 2014 due primarily to a decrease in revenue related to paving and related services as we continue to exit low margin projects. Of the total $13.4 million

77

revenue decrease $3.9 million was from decreased product revenue and $9.5 million from decreased service revenue, which is primarily paving and related services, but also includes certain other revenues earned. Prior to eliminations, the net effect of the volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately $(31.3) million and $55.2 million, respectively. The $12.7 million decrease in paving and related services was driven by decreased demand for our services in Kentucky. Prior to eliminations, the revenue changes by product/service were as follows:

* Revenue by product includes intracompany sales transferred at market value. The elimination of intracompany transactions is included in Other.

Volumes and pricing were mixed in the East region due to a shift in product mix that drove a 4.7% volume and 1.0% pricing increase in aggregates and a 3.1% increase in asphalt pricing, but asphalt volumes were down 6.0%. The East region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing in 2014 from 2013 were as follows:

	Volume			Average Selling Price
Aggregates		4.7	%		1.0	%
Asphalt		(6.0	)%		3.1	%

In 2014, the East region’s operating income increased $16.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.6 million as a result of an increase in operating margin from (8.9)% in 2013 to 1.5% in 2014. The increase in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2013	(8.9	)%
Goodwill impairment(1)	10.2	%
Other	0.2	%
Operating margin—2014	1.5	%

(1) In 2013, we recognized a $14.9 million goodwill impairment charge from a decline in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit caused by uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Kentucky construction market.

Adjusted EBITDA	$	94,896		$	84,887		$	10,009		11.8	%

Revenue decreased $10.1 million in 2013 due to a $14.9 million decline in service revenue, partially offset by a $4.8 million increase in product revenue. The $14.9 million decrease in service revenue, which is primarily paving

78

and related services, but also includes certain other revenues earned, was a result of an increased focus on higher-margin, lower-volume paving projects and completion of low-margin projects, such as grading and structural work. In 2012, we completed certain construction projects that provided significant revenue, but at below-average margins, including a project in Austin, Texas that contributed $47.5 million of revenue in 2012. The decreased service revenue primarily occurred in our Utah and Texas operations. Revenue in 2013 and 2012 included $91.8 million and $98.4 million, respectively, of delivery and subcontract revenue, which is recorded gross in revenue and cost of revenue.

Aggregates and ready-mixed concrete volumes were positively affected from the April 1, 2013 acquisitions of the Lafarge-Wichita assets and Westroc near Salt Lake City, Utah. Our cement volumes decreased 4.1% due primarily to lower volumes in the fourth quarter of 2013, as compared to the fourth quarter of 2012. Adverse weather in 2013, compared to much dryer weather in 2012, and an increased focus on higher-margin, lower-volume paving projects largely offset the effect of the acquisitions and drove the decline in asphalt volumes.

Prior to eliminations, the net effect of the volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately ($33.1) million and $32.9 million, respectively. Revenue for paving and related services decreased by $26.9 million primarily as a result of the completion of certain construction projects, primarily in Texas, which provided significant revenue, but at below-average margins. Revenue changes by product/service were as follows:

In 2013, operating (loss) income decreased $63.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.0 million as a result of a 690 basis point decrease in operating margin. The decrease in operating profit and margin was primarily attributable to goodwill impairment charges recognized in 2013. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2012	1.7	%
Goodwill impairment(1)	(7.4	)%
2013 charge to remove barge from waterway(2)	(0.1	)%
Transaction costs(3)	(0.2	)%
2012 loss on indemnification agreement(4)	0.9	%
Other	(0.1	)%
Operating margin—2013	(5.2	)%

(1) In 2013, we recognized $68.2 million of goodwill impairment charges. Approximately $53.3 million and $14.9 million of the goodwill impairments charges were recognized in our West (Utah) and East (Kentucky) regions, respectively. The goodwill impairment was a result of a decline in the estimated fair value of certain reporting units caused by uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Utah and Kentucky construction markets.

Revenue generated from the Utah-based operations declined 7.2% from $204.1 million in 2012 to $189.4 million in 2013, compared to $221.0 million, or a 8.3% increase, adjusted for acquisitions, that was assumed in the 2012 goodwill impairment analysis. The Utah operations incurred an operating loss of $4.5 million, excluding the goodwill impairment charge, and $13.3 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, demonstrating an improvement in operating loss, but not yet earning operating income. The fair value estimates used in this assessment were dependent upon assumptions and estimates about the future profitability and other financial metrics of our reporting units, as well as relevant financial data, recent transactions and market valuations of comparable public companies. The increase in cash flows from 2012 to 2013 projected in the 2012 goodwill analysis assumed that an increase in housing permits and infrastructure spending in Utah would result in increased revenue for our operations. However, our revenue, and the private construction and public infrastructure spending, did not increase as projected. In the 2013 goodwill analysis, we assumed that an economic recovery in this market would be delayed beyond 2014, which resulted in a decrease in the overall valuation of the Utah operations. Subsequent to the 2013 goodwill analysis, management determined that certain cost savings measures would be required for 2014, including a reduction in G&A. Any benefits from such cost reductions were not assumed in the 2013 goodwill analysis, as they had not been fully quantified when it was completed. At year ended December 27, 2014, the Utah-based operations’ earnings have exceeded the 2014 full year earnings that were forecast in the 2013 goodwill analysis. This earnings improvement was driven by $11.8 million of G&A reductions, which was primarily a result of a 20% headcount reduction of Utah’s G&A operations, and a $4.4 million loss on the disposition of certain assets in Colorado that was recognized in the nine months ended September 28, 2013. We believe that the risk of additional impairment of the $36.6 million of the Utah operation’s remaining goodwill is low given that the 2013 analysis assumed a delayed market recovery and did not take into consideration cost cutting measures that could be, and were, implemented in 2014.

The operating loss in the East region, which is the Kentucky reporting unit, improved from a loss of $0.2 million in 2012 to approximately break-even in 2013, excluding the goodwill impairment charge. An operating loss was incurred despite a 15.2% increase in revenue. We had expected revenue growth from public infrastructure projects to exceed that which has been realized and is expected in the near term. We also had expected operating income improvements at a greater rate than was projected at the time the 2013 goodwill analysis was performed.

80

After recognizing these impairment charges, the goodwill attributable to the Utah and Kentucky reporting units was $36.6 million and zero, respectively. We do not believe material uncertainty that could result in an additional impairment charge exists in these reporting units.

(2) In 2013, a $0.8 million charge was recognized to remove a sunken barge from the Mississippi River.

(3) Transaction costs increased $2.0 million in 2013 as a result of the April 1, 2013 Lafarge-Wichita and Westroc acquisitions and costs incurred in advance of the January 17, 2014 Alleyton acquisition.

(4) In 2012, we recognized a $8.0 million loss on an indemnification agreement.

Other Financial Information

Loss on Debt Financings

In February 2013, we completed a repricing of our senior secured credit facilities, which provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $422.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $150.0 million, which reduced our stated term-loan interest rate by 1.0% and provided additional borrowing capacity of $25.0 million. As a result of the repricing, we recognized a loss of $3.1 million for related bank fees. In January 2012, we refinanced our debt existing at that time, resulting in a net loss of $9.5 million. Both the repricing and the refinancing were accounted for as partial extinguishments.

Discontinued Operations

As part of our strategy to focus on our core business as a construction materials company, we have exited certain activities, including certain concrete paving operations, our railroad construction and maintenance operations (the “railroad business”), which involved building and repairing railroad sidings, and our environmental remediation operations (the “environmental remediation business”), which primarily involved the repair of retaining walls along highways in Kentucky and the removal and remediation of underground fuel storage tanks. The concrete paving operations were wound down in the second quarter of 2013, and all assets have been sold. The railroad and environmental remediation businesses were sold in 2012 in separate transactions for aggregate proceeds of $3.1 million.

The results of these operations have been removed from the results of continuing operations for all periods presented. Prior to recognition as discontinued operations, all of these businesses were included in the East region’s operations. Revenue from these discontinued operations was $3.9 million in 2013 and $50.2 million in 2012. The loss from discontinued operations was $0.5 million in 2013 and $3.5 million in 2012.

Revenue in the West region decreased $58.7 million in 2013 due to a $6.2 million decline in product revenue and a $52.5 million decline in service revenue, which is primarily paving and related services, but also includes certain other revenues earned. The $52.5 million decrease in paving and related services was a result of an increased focus on higher-margin, lower-volume paving projects and completion of low-margin projects, such as grading and structural work. In 2012, we completed certain construction projects that provided significant revenue, but at below-average margins, including a project in Austin, Texas that contributed $47.5 million of revenue in 2012.

Prior to eliminations, the net effect of volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately $(44.6) million and $26.3 million, respectively. Revenue for paving and related services decreased by $69.6 million primarily as a result of completing certain construction projects which provided significant revenue, but at below-average margins, including a project in Austin, Texas that contributed $47.5 million of revenue in 2012.

The effect on revenue from the decrease in asphalt volumes was partially offset by improved pricing across our products lines and increased aggregate and ready-mixed concrete volumes from the April 1, 2013 Westroc acquisition. The West region’s percent changes in sales volumes and pricing from 2012 to 2013 were as follows:

	Percentage Change in
	Volume			Average Selling Price
Aggregates		2.8	%		9.5	%
Ready-mixed concrete		12.7	%		5.8	%
Asphalt		(24.5	%)		7.8	%

In 2013, the West region’s operating loss increased $40.9 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.5 million as a result of a decrease in operating margin from (1.4)% in 2012 to (11.1)% in 2013. The decrease in operating profit and margin was primarily attributable to a goodwill impairment charge recognized in 2013. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2012	(1.4	)%
Goodwill impairment(1)	(12.5	)%
Disposition of certain Colorado assets(2)	(1.0	)%
2012 loss on indemnification agreement(3)	1.9	%
Other(4)	1.9	%
Operating margin—2013	(11.1	)%

(1) A $53.3 million goodwill impairment charge from a decline in the estimated fair value of our reporting unit based in Utah caused by uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Utah construction market. Excluding the goodwill impairment charge, operating earnings improved $12.4 million, and operating margin improved 280 basis points in 2013 from 2012.

(2) A $4.4 million loss in 2013 on the disposition of certain assets in Colorado.

(3) These charges were partially offset by an $8.0 million loss on an indemnification agreement in 2012.

(4) The remaining margin improvement was primarily a result of a shift in product and customer mix. In 2013, we increased our focus on higher margin, lower-volume paving projects and completed certain low-margin projects, such as grading and structural work. In 2012, we completed certain construction projects that provided significant revenue, but at below-average margins, including a project in Austin, Texas that

82

contributed $47.5 million of revenue in 2012. As shown in the table above, revenue from paving and related services was 67.9% of the West region’s revenue in 2012 compared to 60.9% in 2013. Aggregates and ready-mixed concrete were 10.9% and 14.5%, respectively, of 2013 revenue compared to 8.5% and 10.9%, respectively, in 2012.

Operating margin		11.9	%		12.4	%
Adjusted EBITDA	$	73,561		$	67,875		$	5,686	8.4	%

Revenue in the Central region increased $27.5 million in 2013 due to an $8.1 million increase in product revenue and a $19.4 million increase in service revenue, which is primarily paving and related services, but also includes certain other revenues earned.

The acquisition of the Lafarge assets in and around Wichita, Kansas contributed to the increases in aggregates, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt volumes. Asphalt prices decreased 1.9% from 2012 due to a concentration of higher grade asphalt mixes in 2012, which commanded a higher price due to higher material input cost. Cement volumes decreased 4.1% with a 3.4% price increase. Price and volume variances across the Central region’s products increased revenue by $6.4 million and $10.2 million in 2013, respectively. The remaining revenue increase in 2013 was primarily due to paving and related projects.

Prior to eliminations, the net effect of the volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately $6.9 million and $4.3 million, respectively. The $21.7 million increase in paving and related services was driven by increased demand for our services in Kansas. Revenue changes by product/service were as follows:

83

In 2013, the Central region’s operating income increased $1.6 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $5.7 million as a result of increased revenue, partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in operating margin. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2012	12.4	%
2013 charge to remove barge from waterway(1)	(0.2	)%
Other	(0.3	)%
Operating margin—2013	11.9	%

Revenue in the East region increased $21.1 million in 2013 due to a $2.9 million increase in product revenue and an $18.2 million increase in service revenue, which is primarily paving and related services, but also includes certain other revenues earned.

Prior to eliminations, the net effect of the volume and pricing changes on revenue was approximately $4.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. The $21.1 million increase in paving and related services was driven by increased demand for our services in Kentucky. Revenue changes by product/service were as follows:

84

In 2013, the East region’s operating loss increased $14.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.9 million as a result of a decrease in operating margin from (0.2)% in 2012 to (8.9)% in 2013. The decrease in operating margin was primarily attributable to the following:

Operating margin—2012	(0.2	)%
Goodwill impairment(1)	(9.3	)%
Other(2)	0.6	%
Operating margin—2013	(8.9	)%

(1) In 2013, we recognized a $14.9 million goodwill impairment charge from a decline in the estimated fair value of the reporting unit caused by uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the Kentucky construction market.

(2) In 2013, we implemented various cost savings initiatives, including headcount reductions of approximately 60 salaried employees. We intend to continue to reduce operating costs with the objective of generating operating income in the East region. The goodwill impairment charge of $14.9 million is not expected to reoccur and, absent that charge, the operating loss in 2013 would have been operating income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity include cash on-hand, cash provided by operations, amounts available for borrowing under our credit facilities and capital-raising activities in the debt and equity capital markets. See “Description of Other Indebtedness.” As of September 26, 2015, we had $5.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $104.5 million of working capital as compared to cash and working capital of $13.2 million and $80.4 million, respectively, at December 27, 2014. Working capital is calculated as current assets less current liabilities. There were no restricted cash balances as of September 26, 2015 or December 27, 2014. Our remaining borrowing capacity on our senior secured revolving credit facility was $210.6 million as of September 26, 2015, which is net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit, and is fully available to us within the terms and covenant requirements of our credit agreement.

Given the seasonality of our business, we typically experience significant fluctuations in working capital needs and balances throughout the year. Our working capital requirements generally increase during the first half of the year as we build up inventory and focus on repair and maintenance and other set-up costs for the upcoming season. Working capital levels then decrease as the construction season winds down and we enter the winter months, which is when we see significant inflows of cash from the collection of receivables. For example, net cash used for operating activities in the nine months ended September 27, 2014 was $10.8 million, compared to full year 2014 net cash provided by operating activities of $79.1 million. Net cash used for operating activities in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was $18.9 million.

We believe we have access to sufficient financial resources from our liquidity sources to fund our business and operations for at least the next twelve months, including contractual obligations, capital expenditures and debt service obligations. Our growth strategy contemplates future acquisitions for which we believe we have sufficient access to capital. To finance future acquisitions, particularly larger acquisitions, we may raise additional equity capital and indebtedness. Any such additional indebtedness would increase our leverage. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes.”

Indebtedness

Please refer to “Description of Other Indebtedness” and the notes to the consolidated interim financial statements found elsewhere in this prospectus for detailed information about our long-term debt, scheduled maturities of long-term debt and affirmative and negative covenants. Among other things, under our senior secured credit facilities, we are required to maintain a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio that is no greater

85

than 4.75 to 1.00. Our first lien net leverage ratio, for purposes of the senior secured credit facilities, is calculated following each quarter and is based on information for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial information is available by dividing our consolidated first lien net debt as of the end of such period by our consolidated EBITDA for such period. Consolidated EBITDA for purposes of our senior secured credit facilities is calculated in accordance with our presentation of Further Adjusted EBITDA below.

For the twelve months ended September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, our consolidated first lien net leverage ratio was 2.52 to 1.00 based on consolidated first lien net debt of $751.7 million and $434.0 million as of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively, divided by Further Adjusted EBITDA of $298.2 million and $212.1 million for the twelve months ended September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, we were in compliance with all debt covenants.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Summit Materials’ net loss to Adjusted EBITDA and Further Adjusted EBITDA for the periods indicated. Adjusted EBITDA and Further Adjusted EBITDA are not U.S. GAAP measures and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for our results as reported under U.S. GAAP.

(a) The statement of operations data for the twelve months ended September 26, 2015, which are unaudited, have been calculated by subtracting the data for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 from the data for the year ended December 27, 2014, and adding the data for the nine months ended September 26, 2015. This presentation is not in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, we use trailing four quarter financial data to test compliance with covenants under our senior secured credit facilities.

(b) Represents certain concrete paving operations and railroad construction and repair operations that we have exited.

86

(c) Represents the transaction expenses associated with past acquisitions and potential acquisitions, consisting primarily of accounting, legal, valuation and financial advisory fees for the acquisitions that were completed in the periods presented.

(d) Represents certain fees paid and expenses reimbursed to affiliates of our Sponsors. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Transaction and Management Fee Agreement.”

(e) Represents incurred “costs of” strategic initiatives we put in place, including costs incurred to finance effectiveness improvements and information technology start-up costs. We cannot assure you that we will achieve the synergies that we anticipate achieving in connection with these strategic initiatives.

(f) Represents non-cash equity-based compensation granted to employees.

(g) Represents the loss recognized on assets identified for disposal, net of gains realized on asset sales.

(h) Includes non-recurring or one time income and expense items that were incurred outside normal operating activities such as integration costs, unrealized currency gains and losses and interest, tax and depreciation on unconsolidated joint ventures.

(i) The adjustment for the twelve months ended September 26, 2015 represents the EBITDA for the period from September 27, 2014 to the respective dates of acquisition for the Concrete Supply, Lewis & Lewis, Davenport Assets and LeGrand acquisitions. The adjustment for the year ended December 27, 2014 represents the EBITDA for the period from December 29, 2013 to the respective dates of acquisition for the Alleyton, Troy Vines, Buckhorn Materials, Canyon Redi-Mix, Mainland, Southwest Ready Mix, Colorado County S&G and Concrete Supply acquisitions. The adjustment for the year ended December 28, 2013 represents the EBITDA for the period from December 30, 2012 to the respective dates of acquisition for the Lafarge-Wichita and Westroc acquisitions.

At September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, we had $1,260.8 million and $1,071.9 million, respectively, of total debt, without giving effect to original issuance discount or premium, outstanding. Summit Materials has credit facilities that provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million. Summit Materials’ domestic wholly-owned subsidiary companies were named as guarantors of the 2020 notes and are named as guarantors of the existing notes, the outstanding notes and the senior secured credit facilities. Certain other partially-owned subsidiaries, and the wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary, Mainland, do not guarantee the existing notes and the outstanding notes. Summit Materials has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral for the senior secured credit facilities. The $625.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes due January 31, 2020 issued under an indenture dated as of January 30, 2012 were fully redeemed as of December 2015. In April 2015 and August 2015, $288.2 million and $183.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes, respectively, were redeemed as discussed below, and the remaining $153.8 million aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes was redeemed in December 2015. On July 8, 2015, the Issuers issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of existing notes. The existing notes were issued at par. Interest on the existing notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 2016.

On July 17, 2015, Summit Materials refinanced its term loan under the senior secured credit facilities (the “Refinancing”). The Refinancing, among other things: (i) reduced the applicable margins used to calculate interest rates for term loans under our senior secured credit facilities to 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 2.25% for base rate loans, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% (and one 25 basis point step down upon Summit Materials achieving a certain first lien net leverage ratio); (ii) increased term loans borrowed under our term loan facility from $422.0 million to $650.0 million; and (iii) created additional flexibility under the financial maintenance covenants, which are tested quarterly, by increasing the applicable maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the amended and restated credit agreement that governs the senior secured credit facilities).

We used the net proceeds from the existing notes and the Refinancing to fund the initial $370.0 million cash purchase price for the Davenport Acquisition, to refinance the existing senior secured term loan facility, to redeem $183.0 million aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 notes and to pay related fees and expenses.

Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 26, 2015, cash used in operating activities was $18.9 million primarily as a result of:

• Net loss of $45.4 million, adjusted for $99.4 million of non-cash expenses, including $90.2 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion and $18.6 million of share-based compensation expense.

• Additional investment in inventory of $3.8 million consistent with the seasonality of our business for which our inventory levels typically decrease in the fourth quarter in preparation for the winter slowdown.

• The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses contributed $17.1 million of cash in conjunction with the build-up of inventory levels and incurrence of repairs and maintenance costs to ready the business for increased sales volumes in the summer and fall. Almost all of our products are consumed and services provided outdoors. In addition, we made $76.0 million of interest payments in the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

• $79.7 million of increased accounts receivable (billed and unbilled) as a result of the seasonality of our business. The majority of our sales occur in the spring, summer and fall and we typically incur an increase in accounts receivable (net billed and unbilled) during the second and third quarters of each year. This amount is typically converted to cash in the fourth and first quarters.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, cash used in operating activities was $10.8 million primarily as a result of:

• Net loss of $10.8 million, adjusted for $69.0 million of non-cash expenses, including $68.5 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion.

• An increase in accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings of $69.5 million consistent with the seasonality of our business.

• Additional investment in inventory of $3.8 million consistent with the seasonality of our business.

• The timing of payments associated with accounts payable and accrued expenses contributed $12.0 million of cash in conjunction with the build-up of inventory levels and incurrence of repairs and maintenance costs.

During the year ended December 27, 2014, cash provided by operating activities was $79.1 million primarily as a result of:

• A net loss of $6.3 million, adjusted for $97.3 million of non-cash expenses, including $95.2 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion.

88

• An increase in accounts receivable of $10.4 million due to favorable weather in the fourth quarter. With the seasonality of our business, the majority of our sales typically occur in the spring, summer and fall resulting in an increase in accounts receivable in the second and third quarters, which is generally collected in the fourth and first quarters. However, revenue in the fourth quarter of 2014 exceeded revenue in the second quarter of 2014, which drove an increase in accounts receivable as of December 27, 2014.

• Approximately $5.3 million of costs incurred related to accounting, legal and other services associated with Summit Inc.’s IPO.

• Accrued liabilities contributing $13.2 million, primarily related to a $15.2 million increase in accrued interest as a result of the 2014 issuances of $375.0 million of 2020 notes. We made $64.1 million of interest payments in the year ended December 27, 2014.

During the year ended December 28, 2013, cash provided by operating activities was $66.4 million primarily as a result of:

• A net loss of $103.7 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, including $75.9 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, a $68.2 million goodwill impairment charge and $12.4 million from net losses on asset disposals.

• Collection of accounts receivable providing $9.9 million of additional cash in 2013 due to an increased focus on processing billings and collecting on outstanding receivables.

During the year ended December 29, 2012, cash provided by operating activities was $62.3 million primarily as a result of:

• A net loss of $50.6 million, adjusted for non-cash expenses, including $72.2 million of depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion, which increased in 2012 in connection with our 2011 and 2012 acquisitions, and a $9.5 million loss on our January 2012 debt refinancing.

• Collection of accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings providing $12.1 million of additional cash due to an increased focus on processing billings and collecting on outstanding receivables.

• Reduced payments of accounts payable and accrued expenses providing additional cash from operations, on a net basis, of $11.1 million due primarily to a $16.0 million increase in accrued interest. Our December 2012 payment was accrued at year-end 2012 and paid in the first quarter of 2013.

Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 26, 2015, cash used for investing activities was $565.6 million, of which $505.5 million related to the 2015 acquisitions of the Davenport Assets, Lewis & Lewis and LeGrand and $69.7 million was invested in capital expenditures, which was partially offset by $8.9 million of proceeds from asset sales.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, cash used for investing activities was $405.9 million, $351.9 million of which related to the 2014 acquisitions of Alleyton, Troy Vines, Buckhorn Materials, Southwest Ready Mix, Colorado County S&G and Mainland. In addition, we invested $64.2 million in capital expenditures, offset by $9.6 million of proceeds from asset sales.

During the year ended December 27, 2014, cash used for investing activities was $461.3 million, $397.9 million of which related to the 2014 Alleyton, Troy Vines, Buckhorn Materials, Canyon Redi-Mix, Mainland, Southwest Ready Mix, Colorado County S&G and Concrete Supply acquisitions. In addition, we invested $76.2 million in capital expenditures, offset by $13.4 million of proceeds from asset sales.

89

During the year ended December 28, 2013, cash used for investing activities was $111.5 million, $61.6 million of which was used for the April 1, 2013 acquisitions of certain Lafarge assets in and around Wichita, Kansas and all of the membership interests of Westroc near Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, we invested $66.0 million in capital expenditures, offset by $16.1 million of proceeds from asset sales. Approximately $25.6 million of the capital expenditures were invested in our cement business in Hannibal, Missouri, for continued development of the underground mine ($15.3 million), a cement terminal expansion to store additional cement in St. Louis, Missouri ($2.8 million), as well as improvements made to our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant during the scheduled shutdowns. We also invested $6.4 million in a new hot mix asphalt plant in Austin, Texas.

During the year ended December 29, 2012, cash used for investing activities was $85.3 million. We paid $48.8 million for three acquisitions, which expanded our presence in certain of our existing markets and $45.5 million for capital expenditures. Approximately half of our 2012 capital expenditures were to replace or maintain equipment and the remaining portion reflects capital investments in the business, the most significant of which is the development of the underground mine at our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant. We spent $5.0 million on the underground mine development in 2012.

Financing Activities

During the nine months ended September 26, 2015, cash provided by financing activities was $576.8 million, which was primarily composed of $490.9 million of capital contributions by its member and $164.3 million of net debt borrowings. We also made $15.0 million of payments on acquisition related liabilities, paid $40.0 million of distributions to our member, who in turn, made payments to its partners and paid $10.9 million in debt issuance costs.

During the nine months ended September 27, 2014, cash provided by financing activities was $408.5 million, which was primarily composed of $398.9 million of net borrowings on debt. The Issuers issued $375.0 million of 2020 notes in 2014 at a premium, receiving $409.3 million of aggregate proceeds. The funds from the borrowings were primarily used to purchase Alleyton and Mainland, make payments on the revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. In addition, we received contributions from our sole member of $24.4 million and made $5.8 million of payments on acquisition related liabilities in the nine months ended September 27, 2014.

During the year ended December 27, 2014, cash provided by financing activities was $380.5 million, which was primarily composed of $363.9 million of net borrowings on debt. The Issuers issued $375.0 million of 2020 notes in 2014 at a premium, receiving $409.3 million of aggregate proceeds. The funds from the borrowings were primarily used to purchase Alleyton and Mainland, make payments on the revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. In addition, we received contributions from our member of $27.6 million and made $10.9 million of payments on acquisition-related liabilities.

During the year ended December 28, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $32.6 million, which was primarily composed of $42.4 million of net borrowings on our revolving credit facility and proceeds from the February 2013 repricing transaction, through which our outstanding borrowings increased $25.0 million. Approximately $61.6 million of the funds from the borrowings were used on April 1, 2013 to purchase certain assets of Lafarge in and around Wichita, Kansas and all of the membership interests in Westroc. The remaining funds were used for seasonal working capital requirements. In addition, we made $9.8 million of payments on acquisition-related liabilities.

During the year ended December 29, 2012, cash provided by financing activities was $7.7 million, which is primarily composed of $16.5 million of net proceeds from the January 2012 financing transactions, offset by $7.5 million of payments on acquisition-related liabilities.

Cash Paid for Capital Expenditures

We expended approximately $69.7 million in capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 26, 2015 compared to $64.2 million in the nine months ended September 27, 2014. The 2015 capital expenditures were primarily composed of various pieces of equipment and rolling stock. We estimate that we will invest between $80.0 million and $90.0 million in capital expenditures in 2015, which we have funded or expect to fund through cash on hand, cash from operations, outside financing arrangements and available borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In 2015, we continued investing in Texas, including approximately $6.4 million on installation of a new sand and gravel processing plant near Houston and $7.0 million on installation of a new asphalt plant in San Antonio.

In 2014, we expended approximately $76.2 million compared to $66.0 million in 2013. The 2014 capital expenditures include continued development of an underground mine to extract limestone on our Hannibal, Missouri property where our first cement plant is located ($6.3 million), which was substantially completed in 2014, $2.6 million of land purchases in Kansas and Kentucky and various other pieces of equipment and rolling stock.

We expended approximately $66.0 million in 2013 compared to $45.5 million in 2012. Approximately $15.3 million of the increase in capital expenditures from 2012 related to developing the underground mine in Hannibal, Missouri. We spent $15.3 million on the underground mine development in 2013.

(2) Amounts represent estimated future payments to fund our defined benefit plans.

(3) Amounts represent purchase commitments entered into in the normal course of business, primarily for fuel purchases. Commitments are generally less than one year.

Commitments and Contingencies

We are party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate results of claims and

91

litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all current pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

We are obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting for the sellers’ 40% ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. We have the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but do not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and, ultimately, from us. Through September 26, 2015, we have funded $8.8 million, of which $4.0 million was funded in 2012 and $4.8 million was funded in 2011. On April 2, 2015, the Utah Department of Transportation filed suit in the Fourth District Court of Utah County, Utah against the joint venture and the parties to the joint venture seeking damages of at least $29.4 million. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of loss related to this matter.

In 2013, a dispute with the sellers of Harper Contracting related to the calculation of working capital from the August 2010 acquisition was settled. The working capital dispute was submitted to binding arbitration, the outcome of which resulted in the payment of $1.9 million to the sellers. In addition, various other acquisition-related disputes with the sellers were settled for approximately $0.8 million. The total payments of $2.7 million were made in 2013. There was no material effect on 2013 earnings as a result of these settlements.

In February 2011, we incurred a property loss related to a sunken barge with cement product aboard. In 2013, we recognized $0.8 million of charges for costs to remove the barge from the waterway. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, we had $0.4 million included in accrued expenses as management’s best estimate of the remaining costs to remove the barge.

We are obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. The terms of these firm purchase agreements are generally less than one year. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 26, 2015, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period.

On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates, including those related to the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations and asset retirement obligations. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

92

Acquisitions—Purchase Price Allocation

We regularly review strategic long-term plans, including potential investments in value-added acquisitions of related or similar businesses, which would increase our market share and/or are related to our existing markets. When an acquisition is completed, our consolidated statement of operations includes the operating results of the acquired business starting from the date of acquisition, which is the date that control is obtained. The purchase price is determined based on the fair value of assets given to and liabilities assumed from the seller as of the date of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as valued at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is recorded for the excess of the purchase price over the net of the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date. The estimation of fair values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities is judgmental and requires various assumptions and the amounts and useful lives assigned to depreciable and amortizable assets compared to amounts assigned to goodwill, which is not amortized, can significantly affect the results of operations in the period of and periods subsequent to a business combination.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction, and therefore represents an exit price. A fair value measurement assumes the highest and best use of the asset by market participants, considering the use of the asset that is physically possible, legally permissible, and financially feasible at the measurement date. We assign the highest level of fair value available to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the following options:

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—Observable inputs, other than quoted prices, for similar assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs, which includes the use of valuation models.

Level 2 inputs are typically used to estimate the fair value of acquired machinery, equipment and land and assumed liabilities for asset retirement obligations, environmental remediation and compliance obligations and contingencies.

Level 3 inputs are used to estimate the fair value of acquired mineral reserves, mineral interests and separately-identifiable intangible assets.

There is a measurement period after the acquisition date during which we may adjust the amounts recognized for a business combination. Any such adjustments are based on us obtaining additional information that existed at the acquisition date regarding the assets acquired or the liabilities assumed. Measurement period adjustments are generally recorded as increases or decreases to the goodwill recognized in the transaction. Material adjustments are applied retroactively to the date of acquisition and reported retrospectively. The measurement period ends once we have obtained all necessary information that existed as of the acquisition date, but does not extend beyond one year from the date of acquisition. Any adjustments to assets acquired or liabilities assumed beyond the measurement period are recorded in earnings.

We invested $397.9 million and $61.6 million in business combinations and allocated this amount to assets acquired and liabilities assumed during the years ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

Goodwill and Goodwill Impairment

Goodwill is tested annually for impairment and in interim periods if events occur indicating that the carrying amounts may be impaired. The evaluation involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions and considerable management judgment. Our judgments regarding the existence of impairment indicators and future cash flows are based on operational performance of our businesses, market conditions and other factors. Although there are inherent uncertainties in this assessment process, the estimates and assumptions we use, including estimates of future cash flows, volumes, market penetration and discount rates, are consistent with our

93

internal planning. The estimated future cash flows are derived from internal operating budgets and forecasts for long-term demand and pricing in our industry and markets. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record an impairment charge on all or a portion of our goodwill. Furthermore, we cannot predict the occurrence of future impairment-triggering events nor the affect such events might have on our reported values. Future events could cause us to conclude that impairment indicators exist and that goodwill associated with our acquired businesses are impaired. Any resulting impairment loss could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

The annual goodwill test is performed by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not (more than 50%) that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that an impairment is more likely than not, we are then required to perform the two-step quantitative impairment test, otherwise further analysis is not required. We also may elect not to perform the qualitative assessment and, instead, proceed directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test. The ultimate outcome of the goodwill impairment review for a reporting unit should be the same whether we choose to perform the qualitative assessment or proceed directly to the two-step quantitative impairment test.

Under the two-step quantitative impairment test, step one of the evaluation of impairment involves comparing the current fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value, including goodwill. We use a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model to estimate the current fair value of our reporting units when testing for impairment, as management believes forecasted cash flows are the best indicator of fair value. A number of significant assumptions and estimates are involved in the application of the DCF model to forecast operating cash flows, including macroeconomic trends in the private construction and public infrastructure industries, the timing of work embedded in our backlog, our performance and profitability under our contracts, our success in securing future sales and the appropriate interest rate used to discount the projected cash flows. Most of these assumptions vary significantly among the reporting units. This discounted cash flow analysis is corroborated by “top-down” analyses, including a market assessment of our enterprise value. We believe the estimates and assumptions used in the valuations are reasonable.

In conjunction with our annual review of goodwill on the first day of the fourth quarter, we performed the qualitative assessment for all of our reporting units except the Utah-based operations. As a result of this analysis, we determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of each reporting unit was greater than its carrying value. The Utah-based operations have negative equity after the goodwill impairment charge recognized in 2013. As a result, we performed Step 2 of the impairment test for the Utah-based operations and concluded that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeded the book value.

One of our reporting units is based in Midland/Odessa, Texas where the economy is largely exposed to the oil and gas sector. In the fourth quarter of 2014, global oil prices declined. An extended period of low oil prices could have a material adverse effect on this reporting unit. However, we are unable to predict long term macroeconomic trends. We will continue to monitor demand for our products in this market to assess whether an event occurs that indicates the carrying amount of the reporting unit may be impaired requiring a goodwill impairment analysis. We did not recognize any goodwill impairment charges in 2014.

As a result of the impairment test in 2013, we concluded that the book values of two of our reporting units, the Utah-based operations in the West region and our one reporting unit in the East region exceeded their estimated fair values. For our remaining reporting units, the estimated fair values were substantially in excess of carrying values ranging from 56% to 182%.

For the Utah-based and East region reporting units, we performed the second step of the goodwill impairment test to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step of the test requires the allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill as if the reporting unit was

94

being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. Based on the results of the step two analyses, we recorded impairment charges to goodwill of $53.3 million and $14.9 million for the Utah-based and East region reporting units, respectively. After recognizing these impairment charges, the goodwill attributable to the Utah and Kentucky reporting units was $36.6 million and zero, respectively.

As of September 26, 2015, we determined that no events or circumstances from September 28, 2014 through September 26, 2015 indicated that a further assessment was necessary.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Excluding Goodwill

We evaluate the carrying value of long-lived assets, including intangible assets subject to amortization, when events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Long-lived assets are material to our total assets; as of December 27, 2014, net property, plant and equipment, represented 55.0% of total assets. The evaluation involves the use of significant estimates and assumptions and considerable management judgment. Such indicators may include deterioration in general economic conditions, negative developments in equity and credit markets, adverse changes in the markets in which an entity operates, increases in input costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows, or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods, among others. A one year increase or decrease in the average useful lives of our property, plant and equipment would have affected 2014 depreciation expense by ($5.6) million or $6.4 million, respectively. An impairment charge could be material to our financial condition and results of operations. The carrying value of long-lived assets is considered impaired when the estimated undiscounted cash flows from such assets are less than their carrying value. In that event, we recognize a loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the long-lived assets.

Fair value is determined by primarily using a cash flow methodology that requires considerable management judgment and long-term assumptions. Our estimate of net future cash flows is based on historical experience and assumptions of future trends, which may be different from actual results.

We consider the identification of an asset for disposal to be an event requiring evaluation of the asset’s fair value. Fair value is often determined to be the estimated sales price, less selling costs. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, then an impairment charge is recognized equal to the expected loss on disposal. Throughout 2014, we recognized $6.1 million of net losses on asset dispositions, which include both the net loss on disposed assets and losses on assets identified for disposition in the succeeding twelve months. The losses commonly occur because the cash flows expected from selling the asset are less than the cash flows that could be generated from holding the asset for use.

The 2013 goodwill impairment recognized at two reporting units was considered to be an indication that the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable at those reporting units requiring further evaluation, despite positive cash flows in the year ended December 28, 2013 at both the Utah and Kentucky reporting units. The net book value of the long-lived assets at the Utah and Kentucky reporting units, as of the first day of the fourth quarter, was $117.3 million and $127.8 million, respectively. The evaluation indicated that the carrying value of the reporting units’ long-lived assets was less than the undiscounted future cash flows, resulting in no impairment of the evaluated long-lived assets. The type of long-lived assets at the reporting units, primarily plant and equipment, when purchased new, had generally increased in value from the date the long-lived assets at these reporting units were purchased. As a result, management does not believe that there is a risk that a material impairment charge will be recognized at these reporting units in the near future.

There were no changes to the useful lives of assets having a material effect on our financial position or results of operations in 2014 or 2013.

Revenue Recognition

We earn revenue from the sale of products, which primarily include aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt, but also include concrete products and plastics components, and from the provision of services, which are primarily paving and related services, but also include landfill operations, the receipt and disposal of waste that is converted to fuel for use in our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant, and underground storage space rental.

Revenue for product sales is recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, title passes, which generally is when the product is shipped, and collection is reasonably assured. Product revenue generally include sales of aggregates, cement and other materials to customers, net of discounts or allowances, if any, and generally include freight and delivery charges billed to customers. Freight and delivery charges associated with cement sales are recorded on a net basis together with freight costs within cost of sales.

Revenue from the receipt of waste fuels is recognized when the waste is accepted and a corresponding liability is recognized for the costs to process the waste into fuel for the manufacturing of cement or to ship the waste offsite for disposal in accordance with applicable regulations.

We account for revenue and earnings on our long-term paving and related services contracts as service revenue using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Under the percentage-of-completion method, we recognize paving and related services revenue as services are rendered. We estimate profit as the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract based on input measures (e.g., costs incurred). We generally measure progress toward completion on long-term paving and related services contracts based on the proportion of costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion. We include revisions of estimated profits on contracts in earnings under the cumulative catch-up method, under which the effect of revisions in estimates is recognized immediately. If a revised estimate of contract profitability reveals an anticipated loss on the contract, we recognize the loss in the period it is identified.

The percentage-of-completion method of accounting involves the use of various estimating techniques to project costs at completion, and in some cases includes estimates of recoveries asserted against the customer for changes in specifications or other disputes. Contract estimates involve various assumptions and projections relative to the outcome of future events over multiple periods, including future labor productivity and availability, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, the cost and availability of materials, the effect of delayed performance, and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. These estimates are based on our best judgment. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of our contracts. We review our contract estimates regularly to assess revisions in contract values and estimated costs at completion. No material contract adjustments were recognized between 2012 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

We recognize revenue arising from claims either as income or as an offset against a potential loss only when the amount of the claim can be estimated reliably and its realization is probable. In evaluating these criteria, we consider the contractual/legal basis for the claim, the cause of any additional costs incurred, the reasonableness of those costs and the objective evidence available to support the claim.

Mining Reclamation Obligations

We incur reclamation obligations as part of our mining activities. Our quarry activities require the removal and relocation of significant levels of overburden to access stone of usable quantity and quality. The same overburden material is used to reclaim depleted mine areas, which must be sloped to a certain gradient and seeded to prevent erosion in the future. Reclamation methods and requirements can differ depending on the quarry and state rules and regulations in existence for certain locations. This differentiation affects the potential

96

obligation required at each individual subsidiary. As of December 27, 2014, our undiscounted reclamation obligations totaled $29.3 million, of which 16.4% is expected to be settled within the next five years and the remaining 83.6% thereafter.

Reclamation costs resulting from the normal use of long-lived assets, either owned or leased, are recognized over the period the asset is in use. The obligation, which cannot be reduced by estimated offsetting cash flows, is recorded at fair value as a liability at the obligating event date and is accreted through charges to operating expenses. The fair value is based on our estimate for a third party to perform the legally required reclamation tasks including a reasonable profit margin. This fair value is also capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the underlying asset and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset.

The mining reclamation reserve is based on management’s estimate of future cost requirements to reclaim property at both currently operating and closed quarry sites. Costs are estimated in current dollars and inflated until the expected time of payment using a future estimated inflation rate and then discounted back to present value using a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate on obligations of similar maturity adjusted to reflect our credit rating.

We review reclamation obligations at least every three years for a revision to the cost or a change in the estimated settlement date. Additionally, reclamation obligations are reviewed in the period that a triggering event occurs that would result in either a revision to the cost or a change in the estimated settlement date. Examples of events that would trigger a change in the cost include a new reclamation law or amendment to an existing mineral lease. Examples of events that would cause a change in the estimated settlement date include the acquisition of additional reserves or early or delayed closure of a site. Any affect to earnings from cost revisions is included in cost of revenue.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to certain market risks arising from transactions that are entered into in the normal course of business. Our operations are highly dependent upon the interest rate-sensitive construction industry as well as the general economic environment. Consequently, these marketplaces could experience lower levels of economic activity in an environment of rising interest rates or escalating costs. Management has considered the current economic environment and its potential effect to our business. Demand for aggregates-based products, particularly in the residential and nonresidential construction markets, could decline if companies and consumers are unable to obtain financing for construction projects or if an economic recession causes delays or cancellations to capital projects. Additionally, in preceding years, declining tax revenue, state budget deficits and unpredictable or inconsistent federal funding have negatively affected states’ abilities to finance infrastructure construction projects.

Commodity and Energy Price Risk

We are subject to commodity price risk with respect to price changes in liquid asphalt and energy, including fossil fuels and electricity for aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix production, natural gas for hot mix asphalt production and diesel fuel for distribution vehicles and production related mobile equipment. Liquid asphalt escalators in most of our public infrastructure contracts limit our exposure to price fluctuations in this commodity, and we seek to obtain escalators on private and commercial contracts. Similarly, in periods of decreasing oil prices, a portion of the cost savings will be recouped by our end customers. Decreasing oil prices also could affect demand in certain of our markets, particularly in Houston and Midland/Odessa, Texas, which represent approximately 15% of our consolidated revenue in 2014.

For the year ended December 27, 2014, our costs associated with liquid asphalt and energy amounted to approximately $193.8 million. Accordingly, a 10% increase or decrease in the total cost of liquid asphalt and energy would have decreased or increased, respectively, our operating results for the year by approximately $19.4 million. However, this does not take into consideration liquid asphalt escalators in certain contracts or forward purchase commitments put into place before December 27, 2014.

97

Inflation Risk

Inflation rates in recent years have not been a significant factor in our revenue or earnings due to relatively low inflation and our ability to recover increasing costs by obtaining higher prices for our products through sale price escalators in place for most public infrastructure sector contracts. Inflation risk varies with the level of activity in the construction industry, the number, size and strength of competitors and the availability of products to supply a local market.

Foreign Currency Risk

In 2014, we expanded our operations into Canada with the acquisition of Mainland. With this expansion, we are subject to foreign currency risk related to changes in the U.S. dollar/Canadian dollar exchange rates. A 10% adverse change in foreign currency rates from December 2014 levels would not have had a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

At December 27, 2014, we had $150.0 million of revolving credit commitments and $422.0 million of term loans under the senior secured credit facilities, which bear interest at a variable rate. A hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates on the 2014 quarterly average outstanding revolver balance of $22.2 million would increase interest expense by $0.2 million on an annual basis. The interest rate on the term loans has a floor of 1.25%. The rate in effect at December 27, 2014 was 0.26% and, thus, the rate applicable to us was the floor rate of 1.25%. Therefore, a 100 basis point increase in the interest rate at December 27, 2014 would only have increased the rate from 1.25% to 1.26%, the effect of which would have been immaterial on annual interest expense. As of September 26, 2015, our revolving credit commitments increased to $235.0 million and our term loans increased to $650.0 million with a floor of 1.00%. In the third quarter of 2015, we entered into an interest rate derivative on $200.0 million of our term loan borrowings to add stability to our interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate movements.

At our cement plants, we sponsor three non-contributory defined benefit pension plans for certain hourly and salaried employees and healthcare and life insurance benefits for certain eligible retired employees. As of January 2014, two of the pension plans had been frozen to new participants and the healthcare and life insurance benefit plan has been amended to eliminate all future retiree health and life coverage. Our results of operations are affected by our net periodic benefit cost from these plans, which was $0.5 million in 2014, exclusive of a $1.3 million curtailment benefit. Assumptions that affect this expense include the discount rate and, for the pension plans only, the expected long-term rate of return on assets. Therefore, we have interest rate risk associated with these factors.

The healthcare and life insurance benefit plan is exposed to changes in the cost of healthcare services. A one percentage-point increase or decrease in assumed health care cost trend rates would have affected the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by approximately $1.3 million or $(1.1) million, respectively, at December 27, 2014.

BUSINESS

Overview

We are one of the fastest growing construction materials companies in the United States, with a 197% increase in revenue between the year ended December 31, 2010 and the year ended December 27, 2014, as compared to an average increase of approximately 38% in revenue reported by our competitors over the same period. Our materials include aggregates, which we supply across the country, with a focus on Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, and cement, which we supply primarily in Missouri, Iowa and along the Mississippi River. Within our markets, we offer customers a single-source provider for construction materials and related downstream products through our vertical integration. In addition to supplying aggregates to customers, we use our materials internally to produce ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix, which may be sold externally or used in our paving and related services businesses. Our vertical integration creates opportunities to increase aggregates volumes, optimize margin at each stage of production and provide customers with efficiency gains, convenience and reliability, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage.

Since our first acquisition more than six years ago, we have rapidly become a major participant in the U.S. construction materials industry. We believe that, by volume, we are a top 10 aggregates supplier, a top 15 cement producer and a major producer of ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix. Our revenue in 2014 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015 was $1.2 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively, with net losses for the same periods of $6.3 million and $45.4 million, respectively. Our proven and probable aggregates reserves were 2.1 billion tons as of September 26, 2015. In the twelve months ended September 26, 2015, we sold 31.7 million tons of aggregates, 1.4 million tons of cement, 3.3 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete and 4.4 million tons of asphalt paving mix across our more than 200 sites and plants.

Our rapid growth achieved over the last six years has been due in large part to our acquisitions, which we funded with equity and debt financing. During this period, we witnessed a cyclical decline and slow recovery in the private construction market and nominal growth in public infrastructure spending. However, the private construction market is beginning to rebound, which we believe signals the outset of a strong growth period in our industry and end markets. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on this anticipated recovery to grow our business and reduce our leverage over time. As of September 26, 2015, our total indebtedness was approximately $1,260.8 million, or $1,407.0 million after giving effect to the private offering of the outstanding notes and the use of proceeds therefrom.

The private construction market includes residential and nonresidential new construction and the repair and remodel market. According to the PCA, the number of total housing starts in the United States, a leading indicator for our residential business, is expected to grow 40% from 2015 to 2019. In addition, the PCA projects that spending in private nonresidential construction will grow 26% over the same period. The private construction market represented 56% of our revenue in both the year ended December 27, 2014 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

Public infrastructure, which includes spending by federal, state and local governments for roads, highways, bridges, airports and other public infrastructure projects, has been a relatively stable portion of government budgets providing consistent demand to our industry and is projected by the PCA to grow approximately 12% from 2014 to 2017. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, we expect U.S. infrastructure spending to grow over the long term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase. Despite this projected growth, we do not believe it will be consistent across the United States, but will instead be concentrated in certain regions. The public infrastructure market represented 44% of our revenue in both the year ended December 27, 2014 and the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

In addition to the anticipated growth in our end markets, we expect higher volume and pricing in our core product categories. The PCA estimates that cement consumption will increase approximately 15% from 2014 to 2017, reflecting rising demand in the major end markets. At the same time, we believe that cement pricing will

99

be driven higher by tightening production capacity in the United States, where the PCA projects consumption will exceed domestic cement capacity by 2017 driven by both increasing demand and by capacity constraints arising from the EPA NESHAP regulation for PC-MACT, with which compliance was required in September 2015, notwithstanding certain extensions granted to individual cement plants to September 2016.

Historically, we have sought to supplement organic growth potential with acquisitions, by strategically targeting attractive, new markets or expanding in existing markets. We consider population trends, employment rates, competitive landscape, private construction outlook, public funding and various other factors prior to entering a new market. In addition to analyzing macroeconomic data, we seek to establish a top position in our local markets, which we believe supports sustainable organic growth and attractive returns. This positioning provides local economies of scale and synergies, which benefit our pricing, costs and profitability. We believe that each of our operating companies has a top three market share position in its local market.

Our acquisition strategy, to date, has helped us to achieve scale and rapid growth, and we believe that significant opportunities remain for growth through acquisitions. We estimate that approximately 65% of the U.S. construction materials market is privately owned. From this group, our senior management team maintains contact with over 300 private companies. These long-standing relationships, cultivated over decades, have been the primary source for our past acquisitions and, we believe, will be a key driver of our future growth. We believe the value proposition we offer to potential sellers has made us a buyer of choice and has enabled us to largely avoid competitive auctions and instead negotiate directly with sellers at attractive valuations.

Our Regional Platforms

We operate in 19 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada and currently have assets in 18 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada through our three regional platforms that make up our operating segments: West; Central; and East. Each of our operating businesses has its own management team that, in turn, reports to a regional president who is responsible for overseeing the operating businesses, developing growth opportunities, implementing best practices and integrating acquired businesses. Acquisitions are an important element of our strategy, as we seek to enhance value through increased scale and cost savings within local markets.

• West Region: Our West region includes operations in Texas, the Mountain states of Utah, Colorado, Idaho and Wyoming and in British Columbia, Canada. We supply aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services in the West region. As of September 26, 2015, the West region controlled approximately 0.7 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves and $423.0 million of hard assets. During the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 55% of our revenue and approximately 49% of our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding corporate charges, were generated in the West region. In 2014, we expanded the West region’s operations with key acquisitions providing significant growth in Texas as well as the establishment of a new platform in British Columbia, Canada.

• Central Region: Our Central region extends across the Midwestern United States, most notably in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Iowa and along the Mississippi River, where we supply aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services. As of September 26, 2015, the Central region controlled approximately 1.0 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves, approximately 0.5 billion of which serve its cement business, and $824.4 million of hard assets. During the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 33% of our revenue and approximately 42% of our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding corporate charges, were generated in the Central region.

Our cement business consists of our Hannibal, Missouri and Davenport, Iowa cement plants and eight distribution terminals along the Mississippi River, from Minnesota to Louisiana. The Hannibal, Missouri plant was commissioned in 2008 and is a highly efficient, technologically advanced,

100

integrated manufacturing and distribution system strategically located 100 miles north of St. Louis along the Mississippi River. We utilize an on-site solid and liquid waste fuel processing facility, which can reduce the plant’s fuel costs by up to 50% and is one of only 12 facilities in the United States with such capabilities. In July 2015, we acquired the cement plant in Davenport, Iowa and seven distribution terminals along the Mississippi River. The Davenport cement plant primarily serves markets in Missouri, Iowa and along the Mississippi River. Our production capacity approximately doubled with the acquisition of the Davenport Assets. See “Prospectus Summary—The Davenport Acquisition.”

• East Region: Our East region serves markets in Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia, where we supply aggregates, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services. As of September 26, 2015, the East region controlled approximately 0.4 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves and $157.4 million of hard assets. During the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 12% of our revenue and approximately 9% of our Adjusted EBITDA, excluding corporate charges, were generated in the East region.

Our End Markets

Residential Construction. Residential construction includes single family homes and multi-family units such as apartments and condominiums. Demand for residential construction is influenced by employment prospects, new household formation and mortgage interest rates. In recent years, foreclosures have resulted in an oversupply of available houses, which had dampened the demand for new residential construction in many markets in the United States. However, employment prospects have improved, foreclosure rates have stabilized and demand has begun to grow, although the rate of growth is inconsistent across the United States.

102

Nonresidential Construction. Nonresidential construction encompasses all privately financed construction other than residential structures. Demand for nonresidential construction is driven by population and economic growth. Population growth spurs demand for stores, shopping centers and restaurants. Economic growth creates demand for projects such as hotels, office buildings, warehouses and factories. The supply of nonresidential construction projects is affected by interest rates and the availability of credit to finance these projects.

Public Infrastructure Construction. Public infrastructure construction includes spending by federal, state and local governments for highways, bridges, airports, schools, public buildings and other public infrastructure projects. Public infrastructure spending has historically been more stable than private sector construction. We believe that public infrastructure spending is less sensitive to interest rate changes and economic cycles and often is supported by multi-year federal and state legislation and programs. A significant portion of our revenue is derived from public infrastructure projects. As a result, the supply of federal and state funding for public infrastructure highway construction significantly affects our public infrastructure end-use business.

In the past, public infrastructure sector funding was underpinned by a series of six-year federal highway authorization bills. Federal funds are allocated to the states, which are required to match a portion of the federal funds they receive. Federal highway spending uses funds predominantly from the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which derives its revenue from taxes on diesel fuel, gasoline and other user fees. The dependability of federal funding allows the state departments of transportation to plan for their long term highway construction and maintenance needs. Funding for the existing federal transportation funding program extends through 2020. Any additional funding or successor programs have yet to be approved. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, we expect U.S. infrastructure spending to grow over the long term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase.

Our Competitive Strengths

Leading market positions. We believe each of our operating companies has a top three market share position in its local market area achieved through their respective, extensive operating histories, averaging over 35 years. We believe we are a top 10 supplier of aggregates, a top 15 producer of cement and a major producer of ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix in the United States by volume. We focus on acquiring companies that have leading local market positions in aggregates, which we seek to enhance by building scale with other local aggregates and downstream products and services. The construction materials industry is highly local in nature due to transportation costs from the high weight-to-value ratio of the products. Given this dynamic, we believe achieving local market scale provides a competitive advantage that drives growth and profitability for our business. We believe that our ability to prudently acquire, improve and rapidly integrate multiple businesses has enabled, and will continue to enable, us to become market leaders.

Operations positioned to benefit from attractive industry fundamentals. We believe the construction materials industry has attractive fundamentals, characterized by high barriers to entry and a stable competitive environment in the majority of markets. Barriers to entry are created by scarcity of raw material resources, limited efficient distribution range, asset intensity of equipment, land required for quarry operations and a time-consuming and complex regulatory and permitting process. According to the April 2014 U.S. Geological Survey, aggregates pricing in the United States had increased in 65 of the previous 70 years, with growth accelerating since 2002 as continuing resource scarcity in the industry has led companies to focus increasingly on improved pricing strategies.

One significant factor that allows for pricing growth in periods of volume declines is that aggregates and asphalt paving mix have significant exposure to public road construction, which has demonstrated growth over the past 30 years, even during times of broader economic weakness. The majority of public road construction spending is funded at the state level through the states’ respective departments of transportation. The five key states in which we operate (Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri) have funds with certain constitutional protections for revenue sources dedicated for transportation projects. These dedicated, earmarked funding

103

sources limit the negative effect current state deficits may have on public spending. As a result, we believe our business’ profitability is significantly more stable than most other building product subsectors.

Vertically-integrated business model. We generate revenue across a spectrum of related products and services. We internally supply approximately 80% of the aggregates used in the ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mixes that we produce and the asphalt paving mix that our paving crews lay. Our vertically-integrated business model enables us to operate as a single source provider of materials and paving and related services, creating cost, convenience and reliability advantages for our customers, while at the same time creating significant cross-marketing opportunities among our interrelated businesses. We believe this creates opportunities to increase aggregates volumes, optimize margin at each stage of production, foster more stable demand for aggregates through a captive demand outlet, create a competitive advantage through the efficiency gains, convenience and reliability provided to customers and enhance our acquisition strategy by allowing a greater range of target companies.

Attractive diversity, scale and product portfolio. Our three regional platforms operate across 19 U.S. states and British Columbia, Canada in 33 metropolitan statistical areas. Between the year ended December 31, 2010 and the twelve months ended September 26, 2015, we grew our revenue by 237% and brought substantial additional scale and geographic diversity to our operations. A combination of increased scale and vertical integration enabled us to improve profitability with Adjusted EBITDA margins increasing 490 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the twelve months ended September 26, 2015. In the twelve months ended September 26, 2015, 95% of EBITDA was derived from materials and products, with 61% coming from materials, 34% from products and the remaining 5% of EBITDA being derived from services. We have approximately 2.1 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves serving our aggregates and cement business. Assuming production rates in future years are equal to those in 2014, we estimate that the useful life of our proven and probable reserves serving our aggregates and cement businesses are approximately 70 years and 300 years, respectively.

Our dry process cement plant in Hannibal, Missouri was commissioned in 2008 and our Davenport, Iowa plant was commissioned in 1981. These large capacity cement plants have technologically advanced manufacturing capabilities. According to PCA forecasts, consumption of cement in the United States is expected to exceed production capacity by the year 2017, creating opportunities for existing cement plants. Our plants are strategically located on the Mississippi River and, consequently, in 2014, approximately 58% and 32% of cement sold from the Hannibal and Davenport plants, respectively, was shipped by barge, which is generally more cost-effective than truck transport.

Proven ability to incorporate new acquisitions and grow businesses. Since July 2009, we have acquired 37 companies, successfully integrating the businesses into three regions through the implementation of operational improvements, industry-proven information technology systems, a comprehensive safety program and best in class management programs. A typical acquisition generally involves retaining the local management team of the acquired business, maintaining operational decisions at the local level and providing strategic insights and leadership directed by Tom Hill, our President and Chief Executive Officer, a 30-year industry veteran. These acquisitions have helped us achieve significant revenue growth, from $0.4 billion in 2010 to $1.2 billion in 2014.

Experienced and proven leadership driving organic growth and acquisition strategy. Our management team, led by Mr. Hill has a proven track record of creating value. In addition to Mr. Hill, our management team, including corporate and regional operations managers, corporate development, finance executives and other heavy side industry operators, has extensive experience in the industry. Our management team has a track record of executing and successfully integrating acquisitions in the sector. Mr. Hill and his team successfully executed a similar consolidation strategy at another company in the industry, where Mr. Hill led the integration of 173 acquisitions worth, in the aggregate, approximately $6.3 billion, taking the business from less than $0.3 billion to $7.4 billion in sales from 1992 to 2008.

Our Business Strategy

Capitalize on expected recovery in U.S. economy and construction markets. The residential and nonresidential markets are starting to show positive growth signs in varying degrees across our markets. The PCA forecasts total housing starts to accelerate to 1.58 million in the United States by 2019. The American Institute of Architects’ Consensus Construction Forecast projects nonresidential construction to grow 8.1% in 2015. We believe that we have sufficient exposure to the residential and nonresidential end markets to benefit from a potential recovery in all of our markets. In 2014, approximately 83% of our revenue was derived from Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri. Across these states, DOT budgets grew a combined 9.8% from 2014 to 2015. Given the nation’s aging infrastructure and considering longstanding historical spending trends, we expect U.S. infrastructure investment to grow over time. We believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase in investment.

Expand local positions in the most attractive markets through targeted capital investments and bolt-on acquisitions. We plan to expand our business through organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions in each of our local markets. Our acquisition strategy involves acquiring platforms that serve as the foundation for continued incremental and complementary growth via locally situated bolt-on acquisitions to these platforms. We believe that increased local market scale will drive profitable growth. Our existing platform of operations is expected to enable us to grow significantly as we expand in our existing markets. In pursuing our growth strategy, we believe that our balance sheet and liquidity position will enable us to acquire most of the bolt-on acquisitions and platforms that we seek to purchase, but we may also pursue larger acquisition transactions that may require us to raise additional equity capital and indebtedness. Consistent with this strategy, we regularly evaluate potential acquisition opportunities, including ones that would be significant to us. We cannot predict the timing of any contemplated transactions.

Drive profitable growth through strategic acquisitions. Our goal is to become a top-five U.S. construction materials company through the successful execution of our acquisition strategy and implementation of best practices to drive organic growth. Based on aggregates sales, in volumes, we believe that we are currently a top-ten player, which we achieved within five years of our first acquisition. We believe that the relative fragmentation of our industry creates an environment in which we can continue to acquire companies at attractive valuations and increase scale and diversity over time through strategic acquisitions in markets adjacent to our existing markets within the states where we currently operate, as well as into additional states as market and competitive conditions support further growth.

Enhance margins and free cash flow generation through implementation of operational improvements.Our management team includes individuals with decades of experience in our industry and proven success in integrating acquired businesses and organically growing operations. This experience represents a significant source of value to us that has driven Adjusted EBITDA margins up 490 basis points from the year ended December 31, 2010 to the twelve months ended September 26, 2015. These margin improvements are accomplished through proven profit optimization plans, leveraging information technology and financial systems to control costs, managing working capital, achieving scale-driven purchasing synergies and fixed overhead control and reduction. Our regional presidents, supported by our central operations, risk management and finance and information technology teams, drive the implementation of detailed and thorough profit optimization plans for each acquisition post close, which typically includes, among other things, implementation of a systematic pricing strategy and an equipment utilization analysis that assesses repair and maintenance spending, the health of each piece of equipment and a utilization review to ensure we are maximizing productivity and selling any pieces of equipment that are not needed in the business.

Leverage vertically-integrated and strategically located operations for growth. We believe that our vertical integration of construction materials, products and services is a significant competitive advantage that we will leverage to grow share in our existing markets and enter into new markets. A significant portion of materials used to produce our products and provide services to our customers is internally supplied, which enables us to

105

operate as a single source provider of materials, products and paving and related services, creating cost, convenience and reliability advantages for our customers and enabling us to capture additional value throughout the supply chain, while at the same time creating significant cross-marketing opportunities among our interrelated businesses.

Our Industry

The U.S. construction materials industry is composed of four primary sectors: aggregates; cement; ready-mixed concrete; and asphalt paving mix. Each of these materials is widely used in most forms of construction activity. Participants in these sectors typically range from small, privately-held companies focused on a single material, product or market to multinational companies that offer a wide array of construction materials, products and related services. Competition is limited in part by the distance materials can be transported efficiently, resulting in predominantly local or regional operations. Due to the lack of product differentiation, competition for all of our products is predominantly based on price and, to a lesser extent, quality of products and service. As a result, the prices we charge our customers are not likely to be materially different from the prices charged by other producers in the same markets. Accordingly, our profitability is generally dependent on the level of demand for our products and our ability to control operating costs.

Transportation infrastructure projects, driven by both federal and state funding programs, represent a significant share of the U.S. construction materials market. Federal funds are allocated to the states, which are required to match a portion of the federal funds they receive. Federal highway spending uses funds predominantly from the Federal Highway Trust Fund, which derives its revenue from taxes on diesel fuel, gasoline and other user fees. The dependability of federal funding allows the state departments of transportation to plan for their long term highway construction and maintenance needs. Funding for the existing federal transportation funding program extends through 2020. Any additional funding or successor programs have yet to be approved. With the nation’s infrastructure aging, we expect U.S. infrastructure spending to grow over the long term, and we believe we are well positioned to capitalize on any such increase.

In addition to federal funding, highway construction and maintenance funding is also available through state, county and local agencies. Our five largest states by revenue (Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri, which represented approximately 34%, 19%, 11%, 10% and 9%, respectively, of our total revenue in 2014) each have funds whose revenue sources have certain constitutional protections and are dedicated for transportation projects.

• Texas Department of Transportation’s budget from 2014 to 2016 is $25.3 billion.

• Kansas has a 10-year $8.2 billion highway bill that was passed in May 2010.

• Kentucky’s biennial highway construction plan has funding of $3.6 billion from July 2014 to June 2016.

• Utah’s transportation investment fund has $3.5 billion committed through 2018.

• Missouri has an estimated $0.7 billion in annual construction funding committed to essential road and bridge programs through 2017.

Within many of our markets, state and local governments have taken actions to maintain or grow highway funding during a time of uncertainty with respect to federal funding. For example:

• On November 4, 2014, voters in Texas passed a proposition that is estimated to provide up to $1.7 billion of incremental funding annually to the Texas Department of Transportation. The funds must be used for construction, maintenance, rehabilitation and acquiring right-of-way for public roads. The Texas legislature recently passed the largest two-year budget in the history of the Texas Department of Transportation (with growth in both new construction and maintenance). On November 3, 2015, voters in Texas passed an additional proposition that dedicates up to $2.5 billion of the state’s sales and use tax revenue to the state’s highway fund beginning in 2018, and 35% of any excess revenue over $5 billion generated from the motor vehicles sales tax beginning in 2020.

106

• Increases in heavy truck registration fees, dedicated sales tax revenue and bond issuances have enabled Kansas to maintain stability in public infrastructure spending.

• We believe that public infrastructure spending in Kentucky, which comprises the majority of our revenue in the state, will remain consistent in the upcoming years.

• We expect primarily maintenance-related public demand in Utah and Missouri, both of which have recently completed large spending programs.

Demand for our products is observed to have low elasticity in relation to prices. We believe this is partially explained by the absence of competitive replacement products and relatively low contribution of our products to total construction costs. We do not believe that increases in our products’ prices are likely to affect the decision to undertake a construction project since these costs usually represent a small portion of total construction costs.

Aggregates

Aggregates are key material components used in the production of cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mixes for the residential, nonresidential and public infrastructure markets and are also widely used for various applications and products, such as road and building foundations, railroad ballast, erosion control, filtration, roofing granules and in solutions for snow and ice control. Generally extracted from the earth using surface or underground mining methods, aggregates are produced from natural deposits of various materials such as limestone, sand and gravel, granite and trap rock. Once extracted, processed and graded, aggregates are supplied directly to their end use or incorporated for further processing into construction materials and products, such as cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix.

According to the August 2015 U.S. Geological Survey, approximately 1.4 billion tons of crushed stone with a value of approximately $12.9 billion was produced in the United States in 2014, in line with the 1.3 billion tons produced in 2013. Sand and gravel production was approximately 988.8 million tons in 2014 valued at approximately $7.3 billion, up from 933 million tons produced in 2013. The U.S. aggregate industry is highly fragmented relative to other building product markets, with numerous participants operating in localized markets and the top ten players controlling approximately 30% of the national market in 2013. In January 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey reported that a total of 1,550 companies operating 4,000 quarries and 91 underground mines produced or sold crushed stone in 2014 in the United States.

Transportation costs are a major variable in determining aggregate pricing and marketing radius. The cost of transporting aggregate products from the plant to the market often equates to or exceeds the sale price of the product at the plant. As a result of the high transportation costs and the large quantities of bulk material that have to be shipped, finished products are typically marketed locally. High transportation costs are responsible for the wide dispersion of production sites. Where possible, construction material producers maintain operations adjacent to highly populated areas to reduce transportation costs and enhance margins. However, more recently, rising land values combined with local environmental concerns have been forcing production sites to move further away from the end-use locations.

107

We believe that the long-term growth of the market for aggregates is predominantly driven by growth in population, employment and households, which in turn affects demand for nonresidential construction, including stores, shopping centers and restaurants and increases transportation infrastructure spending. In recent years, the recession and subsequent slow recovery in the United States has led to a decrease in overall private and public infrastructure construction activity. While short-term demand for aggregates fluctuates with economic cycles, the declines have historically been followed by strong recovery, with each peak establishing a new historical high. In addition, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, during periods of economic decline in which aggregates volumes sold has decreased, prices have historically continued to grow, as illustrated in the following table:

A significant portion of annual demand for aggregates is derived from large public infrastructure and highway construction projects. According to the Montana Contractors’ Association, approximately 38,000 tons of aggregate are required to construct a one mile stretch of a typical four-lane interstate highway. Highways located in markets with significant seasonal temperature variances are particularly vulnerable to freeze-thaw conditions that exert excessive stress on pavement and lead to more rapid surface degradation. Surface maintenance repairs, as well as general highway construction, occur in the warmer months, resulting in a majority of aggregates production and sales in the period from April through November in most states.

Cement

Portland cement, an industry term for the common cement in general use around the world, is made from a combination of limestone, shale, clay, silica and iron ore. It is a fundamental building material consumed in several stages throughout the construction cycle of residential, nonresidential and public infrastructure projects. It is a binding agent that, when mixed with sand or aggregates and water, produces either ready-mixed concrete or mortar and is an important component of other essential construction materials. Cement is sold either in bulk or in bags as branded products, depending on its final user. Few construction projects can take place without utilizing cement somewhere in the design, making it a key ingredient used in the construction industry. The majority of all cement shipments are sent to ready-mixed concrete operators. The remaining shipments are directed to manufacturers of concrete related products such as block and precast. Nearly two-thirds of U.S. consumption occurs between May and November, coinciding with end-market construction activity.

The principal raw materials in cement are a blend of approximately 80% limestone and approximately 5% shale, with the remaining raw materials being clay and iron ore. Generally, the limestone and shale are mined from quarries located on site with the production plant. These core ingredients are blended and crushed into a fine grind and then preheated and ultimately introduced into a kiln heated to about 3,000°F. Under this extreme heat, a chemical transformation occurs uniting the elements to form a new substance with new physical and chemical characteristics. This new substance is called clinker and it is formed into pieces about the size of marbles. The clinker is then cooled and later ground into a fine powder that then is classified as Portland cement.

108

Cement production in the United States is distributed among 107 production facilities located across 36 states and is a capital-intensive business with variable costs dominated by raw materials and energy required to fuel the kiln. Building new plants is challenging given the extensive permitting requirements and capital investment requirements. We estimate new plant construction costs in the United States to be approximately $250-300 per ton, not including costs for property or securing raw materials and the required distribution network. Assuming construction costs of $275 per ton, a 1.25 million ton facility, comparable to our Hannibal, Missouri cement plant’s potential annual capacity, would cost approximately $343.8 million to construct. Establishing a distribution network, such as the seven terminals included in the Davenport Assets, adds significant cost to a cement plant investment.

As reported by the PCA in the 2015 United States Cement Industry Annual Yearbook, consumption is down significantly from the industry peak of approximately 140.9 million tons in 2005 to approximately 97.8 million tons in 2014 because of a decline in U.S. construction activity. U.S. cement consumption has at times outpaced domestic production capacity with the shortfall being supplied with imports, primarily from China, Canada, Greece, Mexico and South Korea. The PCA reports that cement imports have declined since their peak of approximately 39.6 million tons in 2006 to approximately 9.3 million tons in 2014, in a manner indicative of the industry’s general response to the demand downturn. In addition to the reduction in imports, U.S. excess capacity increased from 5% in 2006 to approximately 25% in 2014 according to the PCA.

On December 20, 2012, the EPA signed the PC-MACT, with which compliance was required in September 2015, notwithstanding certain extensions granted to individual cement plants to September 2016. The Davenport Plant is subject to PC-MACT and is currently in compliance. Any future costs to comply with the PC-MACT standards are not expected to be material. The Hannibal Plant utilizes alternative fuel (hazardous and non-hazardous) as well as coal, natural gas and petroleum coke and, as a result, is subject to the Hazardous Waste Combustor NESHAP (“HWC-MACT”) standards, rather than PC-MACT standards. Any future costs to comply with the existing HWC-MACT standards are not expected to be material.

Ready-Mixed Concrete

Ready-mixed concrete is one of the most versatile and widely used materials in construction today. Its flexible recipe characteristics allow for an end product that can assume almost any color, shape, texture and strength to meet the many requirements of end users that range from bridges, foundations, skyscrapers, pavements, dams, houses, parking garages, water treatment facilities, airports, tunnels, power plants, hospitals and schools. The versatility of ready-mixed concrete gives engineers significant flexibility when designing these projects.

Cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water and admixtures are the primary ingredients in ready-mixed concrete. The cement and water are combined and a chemical reaction process called hydration occurs whereby a paste is produced. This paste or binder represents between 15 to 20% of the volume of the mix that coats each particle of aggregate and serves as the agent that binds the aggregates together, according to the NRMCA. The aggregates represent approximately 60 to 75% of the mix by volume, with a small portion of volume (5 to 8%) consisting of entrapped air that is generated by using air entraining admixtures. Once fully hydrated, the workable concrete will then harden and take on the shape of the form in which it was placed.

The quality of a concrete mix is generally determined by the weight ratio of water to cement. Higher quality concrete is produced by lowering the water-cement ratio as much as possible without sacrificing the workability of the fresh concrete. Specialty admixtures such as high range water reducers can aid in achieving this condition without sacrificing quality.

Other materials commonly used in the production of ready-mixed concrete include fly-ash, a waste by-product from coal burning power plants, silica fume, a waste by-product generated from the manufacture of silicon and ferro-silicon metals, and ground granulated blast furnace slag, a by-product of the iron and steel

109

manufacturing process. All of these products have cemetitious properties that enhance the strength, durability and permeability of the concrete. These materials are available directly from the producer or via specialist distributors who intermediate between the ready-mixed concrete producers and the users.

Given the high weight-to-value ratio, delivery of ready-mixed concrete is typically limited to a one-hour haul from a production plant and is further limited by a 90 minute window in which newly-mixed concrete must be poured to maintain quality and performance. As a result of the transportation constraints, the ready-mixed concrete market is highly localized, with an estimated 5,500 ready-mixed concrete plants in the United States according to the NRMCA. According to the NRMCA, 324.7 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete were produced in 2014, which is an 8% increase from the 300.4 million cubic yards produced in 2013 but a 29% decrease from the industry peak of 458.3 million cubic yards in 2005.

Asphalt Paving Mix

Asphalt paving mix is the most common roadway material used today. It is a versatile and essential building material that has been used to surface 93% of the more than 2.6 million miles of paved roadways in the United States, according to NAPA.

Typically, asphalt paving mix is placed in three distinct layers to create a flexible pavement structure. These layers consist of a base course, an intermediate or binder course, and a surface or wearing course. These layers vary in thicknesses of three to six inches for base mix, two to four inches for intermediate mix and one to two inches for surface mix.

According to NAPA, the components of asphalt paving mix by weight are approximately 95% aggregates and 5% asphalt cement, a petroleum based product that serves as the binder. The ingredients are then metered, mixed and heated to a temperature in excess of 300°F before being placed in a truck and delivered to the jobsite for final placement.

Asphalt pavement is generally 100% recyclable and reusable and is the most reused and recycled pavement material in the United States. Reclaimed asphalt pavement can be incorporated into new pavement at replacement rates in excess of 30% depending upon the mix and the application of the product. We actively engage in the recycling of previously used asphalt pavement and concrete. This material is crushed and repurposed in the construction cycle. Approximately 71.9 million tons of used asphalt is recycled annually by the industry according to a November 2014 NAPA survey.

The use of warm mix asphalt (“WMA”) or “green” asphalt is gaining popularity. The immediate benefit to producing WMA is the reduction in energy consumption required by burning fuels to heat traditional hot mix asphalt (“HMA”) to temperatures in excess of 300°F at the production plant. These high production temperatures are needed to allow the asphalt binder to become viscous enough to completely coat the aggregate in the HMA, have good workability during laying and compaction, and durability during traffic exposure. According to the Federal Highway Administration, WMA can reduce the temperature by 50 to 70°F, resulting in lower emissions, fumes and odors generated at the plant and the paving site.

According to NAPA, there are approximately 4,000 asphalt paving mix plants in the United States and an estimated 352.0 million tons of asphalt paving mix was produced in 2014 which was broadly in line with the estimated 350.7 million tons produced in 2013.

Our Operations

We operate our construction materials and products and paving and related services businesses through local operations and marketing teams, which work closely with our end customers to deliver the products and services that meet each customer’s specific needs for a project. We believe that this strong local presence gives us a

110

competitive advantage by keeping our costs low and allowing us to obtain a unique understanding for the evolving needs of our customers.

We have operations in 19 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada. Our business in each region is vertically-integrated. We supply aggregates internally for the production of cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix and a significant portion of our asphalt paving mix is used internally by our paving and related services businesses. In the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 70% of our aggregates production was sold directly to outside customers with the remaining amount being further processed by us and sold as a downstream product. In addition, we operate a municipal waste landfill and a construction and demolition debris landfill in our Central region and we have liquid asphalt terminal operations in our East region.

Approximately 80% of our asphalt paving mix was installed by our paving and related services businesses in the year ended December 27, 2014. We charge a market price and competitive margin at each stage of the production process in order to optimize profitability across our operations. Our production value chain is illustrated as follows:

Production Value Chain

Construction Materials

We are a leading provider of construction materials in the markets we serve. Our construction materials operations are composed of aggregates including crushed stone and construction sand and gravel, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix production.

Our Aggregates Operations

Aggregates Products

We mine limestone, gravel, and other natural resources from 85 crushed stone quarries and 60 sand and gravel deposits throughout the United States and in British Columbia, Canada. Aggregates are produced mainly from blasting hard rock from quarries and then crushing and screening it to various sizes to meet our customers’ needs. The production of aggregates also involves the extraction of sand and gravel, which requires less crushing, but still requires screening for different sizes. Aggregate production utilizes capital intensive heavy equipment which includes the use of loaders, large haul trucks, crushers, screens and other heavy equipment at quarries.

Once extracted, the minerals are processed and/or crushed on site into crushed stone, concrete and masonry sand, specialized sand, pulverized lime or agricultural lime. The minerals are processed to meet customer specifications or to meet industry standard sizes. Crushed stone is used primarily in ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix, and the construction of road base for highways.

111

Our extensive network of quarries, plants and facilities, located throughout our three regions, enables us to have a nearby operation to meet the needs of customers in each of our markets.

Aggregates Reserves

Our September 26, 2015 estimate of 2.1 billion tons of proven and probable reserves of recoverable stone, and sand and gravel of suitable quality for economic extraction is based on drilling and studies by geologists and engineers, recognizing reasonable economic and operating restraints as to maximum depth of extraction and permit or other restrictions.

Reported proven and probable reserves include only quantities that are owned or under lease, and for which all required zoning and permitting have been obtained. Of the 2.1 billion tons of proven and probable aggregates reserves, 1.1 billion, or 52%, are located on owned land and 1.0 billion are located on leased land.

Aggregates Sales and Marketing

The cost of transportation from each quarry and the proximity of competitors are key factors that determine the effective market area for each quarry. Each quarry location is unique with regards to demand for each product, proximity to competition and distribution network. Each of our aggregates operations is responsible for the sale and marketing of its aggregates products. Approximately 74% of our aggregates production is sold directly to outside customers and the remaining amount is further processed by us and sold as a downstream product. Even though aggregates are a commodity product, we work to optimize pricing depending on the site location, availability of particular product, customer type, project type and haul cost. We sell aggregates to internal downstream operations at market prices.

Aggregates Competition

The U.S. aggregate industry is highly fragmented with numerous participants operating in localized markets. The January 2015 U.S. Geological Survey reported that a total of 1,550 companies operating 4,000 quarries and 91 underground mines produced or sold crushed stone in 2014 in the United States. This fragmentation is a result of the cost of transporting aggregates, which typically limits producers to a market area within approximately 40 miles of their production facilities.

The primary national players are large vertically-integrated companies, including Vulcan Materials Company, Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., CRH plc, Heidelberg, Lafarge and Cemex, S.A.B. de C.V., that have a combined estimated market share of approximately 30%.

Competitors by region include:

• West—CRH plc, Heidelberg Cement plc, Martin Marietta, CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V., Lafarge and various local suppliers.

• Central—Martin Marietta Materials, Inc., CRH plc, Holcim and various local suppliers.

• East—CRH plc, Heidelberg Cement plc, Vulcan Materials Company and various local suppliers.

We believe we have a strong competitive advantage in aggregates through our well located reserves in key markets, high quality reserves and our logistic networks. We further share and attempt to implement best practices relating to safety, strategy, sales and marketing, production, and environmental and land management. As a result of our vertical integration and local market knowledge, we have a strong understanding of the needs of our aggregates customers. In addition, our companies have a reputation for responsible environmental stewardship and land restoration, which assists us in obtaining new permits and new reserves.

112

Our Cement Operations

Cement Products

We operate a highly-efficient, technologically-advanced integrated cement manufacturing and distribution network through our cement plants in Hannibal, Missouri, 100 miles north of St. Louis, and Davenport, Iowa and our eight terminals along the Mississippi River from Minnesota to Louisiana. We also operate an on-site waste fuel processing facility at the Hannibal Plant, which can reduce fuel costs for the plant by up to 50%. Our Hannibal Plant is one of only 12 with hazardous waste fuel facilities permitted and operating out of 107 total cement plants in the United States. The combined potential capacity at our Hannibal and Davenport cement plants is 2.4 million short tons per annum. See “—Our Industry—Cement” and “Prospectus Summary—The Davenport Acquisition.”

Cement Markets

Cement is a product that is costly to transport. Consequently, the radius within which a typical cement plant is competitive extends for only up to 150 miles from any shipping/distribution point. Cement is distributed to local customers by truck, rail and barge from our Hannibal and Davenport plants. We transport cement by inland waterway barges on the Mississippi River to our eight storage and distribution terminals.

In addition, our plants are strategically located on the Mississippi River and, consequently, in 2014, approximately 58% and 32% of cement sold from the Hannibal and Davenport plants, respectively, was shipped by barge, which is generally more cost-effective than truck transport. Our location on the Mississippi River extends our market beyond the typical 150 miles, as barge transport is more cost effective than trucking or moving by rail. Our markets extend from Minnesota to Louisiana and central/northwestern Illinois.

Cement Sales and Marketing

Our cement customers are ready-mixed concrete and concrete products producers and contractors within our markets. Sales are made on the basis of competitive prices in each market and, as is customary in the industry, we do not typically enter into long-term sales contracts.

Cement Competition

Construction of cement production facilities is highly capital intensive and requires long lead times to complete engineering design, obtain regulatory permits, acquire equipment and construct a plant. Most U.S. cement producers are owned by large foreign companies operating in multiple international markets. Our largest competitors include Holcim and Lafarge, whose parent companies merged, effective in July 2015, to create the world’s largest cement maker, in addition to Buzzi. Competitive factors include price, reliability of deliveries, location, quality of cement and support services. With two cement plants, on-site raw material aggregate supply, a network of cement terminals, and longstanding customer relationships, we believe we are well positioned to serve our customers.

Our Ready-mixed Concrete Operations

Ready-mixed Concrete Products

We believe our West and Central regions are leaders in the supply of ready-mixed concrete in their respective markets. The West region has ready-mixed concrete operations in the Houston and Midland/Odessa, Texas, Salt Lake Valley, Utah, Twin Falls, Idaho and Grand Junction, Colorado markets. Our Central region supplies ready-mixed concrete to the Wichita and Topeka, Kansas and Columbia, Missouri markets and surrounding areas. We produce ready-mixed concrete by blending aggregates, cement, chemical admixtures in various ratios and water at our concrete production plants.

113

Our aggregates business serves as the primary source of the raw materials for our concrete production, functioning essentially as a supplier to our ready-mixed concrete operations. Different types of concrete include lightweight concrete, high performance concrete, self-compacting/consolidating concrete and architectural concrete and are used in a variety of activities ranging from building construction to highway paving.

We operated 44 ready-mixed concrete plants and 386 concrete delivery trucks in the West region and 23 ready-mixed concrete plants and 211 concrete delivery trucks in the Central region as of September 26, 2015.

Ready-mixed Concrete Competition

Ready-mixed concrete production requires relatively small amounts of capital to build a concrete batching plant and acquire delivery trucks. As a result, in each local market, we face competition from numerous small producers, as well as other large vertically-integrated companies with facilities in multiple markets. There are approximately 5,500 ready-mixed concrete plants in the United States, and in 2014 the U.S. ready-mixed concrete industry produced approximately 324.7 million cubic yards of ready-mixed concrete according to the NRMCA.

Our ready-mixed concrete operations compete with CEMEX, S.A.B. de C.V. in Texas and CRH plc in Utah and Colorado and various other privately owned competitors in other parts of the West and Central regions.

Competition among ready-mixed concrete suppliers is generally based on product characteristics, delivery times, customer service and price. Product characteristics such as tensile strength, resistance to pressure, durability, set times, ease of placing, aesthetics, workability under various weather and construction conditions as well as environmental effect are the main criteria that our customers consider for selecting their product. Our quality assurance program produces results in excess of design strengths while optimizing material costs. Additionally, we believe our strategic network of locations and superior customer service gives us a competitive advantage relative to other producers.

Our Asphalt Paving Mix Operations

Asphalt Paving Mix Products

Our asphalt paving mix products are produced by first heating carefully measured amounts of aggregates at high temperatures to remove the moisture from the materials. As the aggregates are heated, liquid asphalt is then introduced to coat the aggregates. Depending on the specifications of a particular mix, recycled asphalt may be added to the mix, which lowers the production costs. The aggregates used for production of these products are generally supplied from our quarries or sand and gravel plants. The ingredients are metered, mixed and brought up to a temperature in excess of 300°F before being placed in a truck and delivered to the jobsite for final placement.

As of September 26, 2015, we operated 22 asphalt paving mix plants in the West region, five plants in the Central region and 14 plants in the East region. Approximately 94% of our plants can utilize recycled asphalt pavement.

Asphalt Paving Mix Sales and Marketing

For the year ended December 27, 2014, approximately 80% of the asphalt paving mix we produced was installed by our own paving crews. The rest was sold on a per ton basis to road contractors for the construction of roads, driveways and parking lots, as well as directly to state departments of transportation and local agencies.

Asphalt Paving Mix Competition

According to NAPA, there are approximately 4,000 asphalt paving mix plants in the United States and an estimated 352.0 million tons of asphalt paving mix was produced in 2014. Our asphalt paving mix operations

compete with CRH plc and other local suppliers in each of our three regions. Based on availability of internal aggregate supply, quality, operating efficiencies, and location advantages, we believe we are well positionedvis-à-vis our competitors.

Asphalt paving mix is generally applied at high temperatures. Prolonged exposure to air causes the mix to lose temperature and harden. Therefore, delivery is typically within close proximity to the asphalt paving mix plant. Local market demand, proximity to competition, transportation costs and supply of aggregates and liquid asphalt vary widely from market to market. Most of our asphalt operations use a combination of company-owned and hired haulers to deliver materials to job sites.

Asphalt Paving and Related Services

As part of our vertical integration strategy, we provide asphalt paving and related services to both the private and public infrastructure sectors as either a prime or sub-contractor. These services complement our construction materials and products businesses by providing a reliable downstream outlet, in addition to our external distribution channels.

Our asphalt paving and related services businesses bid on both private construction and public infrastructure projects in their respective local markets. We only provide paving and related services operations as a complement to our construction materials operation, which we believe is a major competitive strength. Factors affecting competitiveness in this business segment include price, estimating abilities, knowledge of local markets and conditions, project management, financial strength, reputation for quality and the availability of machinery and equipment.

Contracts with our customers are primarily fixed unit price or fixed price. Under fixed unit price contracts, we provide materials or services at fixed unit prices (for example, dollars per ton of asphalt placed). While the fixed unit price contract shifts the risk of estimating the quantity of units required for a particular project to the customer, any increase in our unit cost over the bid amount, whether due to inflation, inefficiency, errors in our estimates or other factors, is borne by us unless otherwise provided in the contract. Most of our contracts contain escalators for increases in liquid asphalt prices.

Customers

Our business is not dependent on any single customer or a few customers. Therefore, the loss of any single or particular small number of customers would not have a material adverse effect on any individual respective market in which we operate or on us as a whole. No individual customer accounted for more than 10% of our 2014 revenue.

Seasonality

Use and consumption of our products fluctuate due to seasonality. Nearly all of the products used by us, and by our customers, in the private construction and public infrastructure industries are used outdoors. Our highway operations and production and distribution facilities are also located outdoors. Therefore, seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions, in particular extended rainy and cold weather in the spring and fall and major weather events, such as hurricanes, tornadoes, tropical storms and heavy snows, can adversely affect our business and operations through a decline in both the use of our products and demand for our services. In addition, construction materials production and shipment levels follow activity in the construction industry, which typically occurs in the spring, summer and fall. Warmer and drier weather during the second and third quarters of our fiscal year typically result in higher activity and revenue levels during those quarters. The first quarter of our fiscal year has typically lower levels of activity due to weather conditions.

115

Backlog

Our products are generally delivered upon receipt of orders or requests from customers, or shortly thereafter. Accordingly, the backlog associated with product sales is converted into revenue within a relatively short period of time. Inventory for products is generally maintained in sufficient quantities to meet rapid delivery requirements of customers. Therefore, a period over period increase or decrease of backlog does not necessarily indicate an improvement or a deterioration of our business. Our backlog includes only those products and projects for which we have obtained a purchase order or a signed contract with the customer and does not include products purchased and sold or services awarded and provided within the period.

Subject to applicable contract terms, substantially all contracts in our backlog may be cancelled or modified by our customers. Historically, we have not been materially adversely affected by contract cancellations or modifications.

As a vertically-integrated business, approximately 26% of our aggregates sales volume was further processed and sold as a downstream product, such as ready-mixed concrete or asphalt paving mix, or used in our paving and related services business, and approximately 79% of the asphalt paving mix we sold was installed by our own paving crews during the nine months ended September 26, 2015. The following table sets forth our backlog as of the indicated dates:

(in thousands)	September 26, 2015		September 27, 2014		December 27, 2014		December 28, 2013
Aggregate (in tons)		4,182		4,548		4,853		5,153
Ready-mixed concrete (in cubic yards)		448		199		260		138
Asphalt (in tons)		2,261		2,831		2,112		2,387
Construction services(1)	$	363,174	$	395,465	$	301,333	$	359,263

(1) The dollar value of the construction services backlog includes the value of the aggregate and asphalt tons and ready-mixed concrete cubic yards in backlog that are expected to be sourced internally.

Intellectual Property

We do not own or have a license or other rights under any patents that are material to our business.

Employees

As of September 26, 2015 we had approximately 4,400 employees, of whom approximately 77% were hourly workers and the remainder were salaried employees. Because of the seasonal nature of our industry, many of our hourly and certain of our full time employees are subject to seasonal layoffs. The scope of layoffs varies greatly from season to season as they are predominantly a function of the type of projects in process and the weather during the late fall through early spring.

Approximately 7.9% of our hourly employees and approximately 0.1% of our full time salaried employees are union members. We believe we enjoy a satisfactory working relationship with our employees and their unions.

Properties

Our headquarters are located in a 16,653 square foot office space, which we lease in Denver, Colorado, under a lease expiring on November 30, 2020.

As of September 26, 2015, we also operated 145 quarries and sand deposits, 41 asphalt paving mix plants and 67 fixed and portable ready-mixed concrete plants, two cement plants and eight cement distribution terminals and had 51 office locations.

Legal Proceedings

We are party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all current pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

121

Environmental and Government Regulation

We are subject to federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment and to health and safety, including noise, discharges to air and water, waste management including the management of hazardous waste used as a fuel substitute at our Hannibal, Missouri cement kiln and solid waste used as a fuel substitute at our Davenport, Iowa cement kiln, remediation of contaminated sites, mine reclamation, operation and closure of landfills and dust control and to zoning, land use and permitting. Our failure to comply with such laws and regulations can result in sanctions such as fines or the cessation of part or all of our operations. From time to time, we may also be required to conduct investigation or remediation activities. There also can be no assurance that our compliance costs or liabilities associated with such laws and regulations or activities will not be significant.

In addition, our operations require numerous governmental approvals and permits. Environmental operating permits are subject to modification, renewal and revocation and can require us to make capital, maintenance and operational expenditures to comply with the applicable requirements. Stricter laws and regulations, or more stringent interpretations of existing laws or regulations, may impose new liabilities on us, reduce operation hours, require additional investment by us in pollution control equipment or impede our opening new or expanding existing plants or facilities. We regularly monitor and review our operations, procedures and policies for compliance with existing environmental laws and regulations, changes in interpretations of existing laws and enforcement policies, new laws that are adopted, and new requirements that we anticipate will be adopted that could affect our operations.

Multiple permits are required for our operations, including those required to operate our cement plants. Applicable permits may include conditional use permits to allow us to operate in certain areas absent zoning approval and operational permits governing, among other matters, air and water emissions, dust, particulate matter and storm water management and control. In addition, we are often required to obtain bonding for future reclamation costs, most commonly specific to restorative grading and seeding of disturbed surface areas.

Like others in our industry, we expend substantial amounts to comply with applicable environmental laws and regulations and permit limitations, which include amounts for pollution control equipment required to monitor and regulate emissions into the environment. The Davenport Plant is subject to PC-MACT and is currently in compliance. Since many environmental requirements are likely to be affected by future legislation or rule making by government agencies, and are therefore not quantifiable, it is not possible to accurately predict the aggregate future costs of compliance and their effect on our future results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

At most of our quarries, we incur reclamation obligations as part of our mining activities. Reclamation methods and requirements can vary depending on the individual site and state regulations. Generally, we are required to grade the mined properties to a certain slope and seed the property to prevent erosion. We record a mining reclamation liability in our consolidated financial statements to reflect the estimated fair value of the cost to reclaim each property including active and closed sites.

Our operations in Kansas include one municipal waste landfill and two construction and demolition debris landfills, one of which has been closed. Among other environmental, health and safety requirements, we are subject to obligations to appropriately close those landfills at the end of their useful lives and provide for appropriate post-closure care. Asset retirement obligations relating to these landfills are recorded in our consolidated financial statements.

Health and Safety

Our facilities and operations are subject to a variety of worker health and safety requirements, particularly those administered by the federal OSHA and MSHA, which may become stricter in the future. Throughout our organization, we strive for a zero-incident safety culture and full compliance with safety regulations. Failure to

122

comply with these requirements can result in sanctions such as fines and penalties and claims for personal injury and property damage. These requirements may also result in increased operating and capital costs in the future. We cannot guarantee that violations of such requirements will not occur, and any violations could result in additional costs.

Worker safety and health matters are overseen by our corporate risk management and safety department as well as operating company level safety managers. We provide leadership and support, comprehensive training, and other tools designed to accomplish health and safety goals, reduce risk, eliminate hazards, and ultimately make our work places safer.

Insurance

Our insurance program is structured using multiple “A” rated insurance carriers, and a variety of deductible amounts. In particular, our workers compensation, general liability and auto liability policies are subject to a $500,000 per occurrence deductible. Losses within these deductibles are accrued for using projections based on past loss history.

We also maintain $50.0 million in combined umbrella insurance. Other policies have smaller deductibles and include property, contractors equipment, contractors pollution and professional, directors and officers, employment practices liability and fiduciary and crime. We also have a separate marine insurance policy for our cement business, which is located adjacent to the Mississippi River and ships cement on the river via barge.

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our business and affairs are managed under the direction of Summit Inc.’s board of directors. Summit Inc.’s board of directors currently consists of six directors, of whom Mr. Gardner and Mr. Murphy have been

126

affirmatively determined to be independent. Summit Inc.’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving staggered three-year terms, as follows:

• The Class I directors are Mr. Hill and Mr. Simpkins, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2016.

• The Class II directors are Mr. Gardner and Mr. Murphy, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2017.

• The Class III directors are Ms. Kahr and Mr. Lance, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2018.

Upon expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors for that class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which that term expires. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of Summit Inc.’s board of directors may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of Summit Inc.

In addition, in connection with the IPO, Summit Inc. entered into a stockholders’ agreement with affiliates of Blackstone. This agreement grants affiliates of Blackstone the right to designate nominees to Summit Inc.’s board of directors subject to the maintenance of certain ownership requirements in us. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions—Stockholders’ Agreement” for additional information.

Background and Experience of Directors

When considering whether directors and nominees have the experience, qualifications, attributes or skills, taken as a whole, to enable Summit Inc.’s board of directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities effectively in light of our business and structure, the board of directors focuses primarily on each person’s background and experience as reflected in the information discussed in each of the directors’ individual biographies set forth above. We believe that Summit Inc.’s directors provide an appropriate mix of experience and skills relevant to the size and nature of our business. In particular, the members of Summit Inc.’s board of directors considered the following important characteristics, among others:

• Mr. Hill’s extensive knowledge of our industry and significant experience in leading companies.

• Mr. Lance’s significant management and operational experience from his service in various senior management roles, including as President and Chief Executive Officer of Harris Corporation and President of NCR Corporation.

• Mr. Gardner’s extensive business and leadership experience, including as a Managing Partner of Silverhawk and Managing Partner of Wachovia Capital Partners (formerly, First Union Capital Partners).

• Ms. Kahr’s extensive knowledge of a variety of different industries and her significant financial and investment experience as a Senior Managing Director in The Private Equity Group at Blackstone.

• Mr. Murphy’s extensive financial knowledge, including from his service as Chief Financial Officer of Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation and Accuride Corporation.

• Mr. Simpkins’ significant financial and business experience, including as a Senior Managing Director in the Private Equity Group at Blackstone and Principal at Bain Capital.

Controlled Company Exception

As of the date of this prospectus, Blackstone beneficially owned greater than 50% of the voting power of Summit Inc. As a result, Summit Inc. is a “controlled company” within the meaning of corporate governance

127

standards. Under these corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power is held by an individual, group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (1) that a majority of Summit Inc.’s board of directors consist of independent directors, (2) that Summit Inc.’s board of directors have a compensation committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities and (3) that Summit Inc.’s board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities. For at least some period, Summit Inc. intends to utilize these exemptions. As a result, the majority of Summit Inc.’s directors are not independent and none of the committees of the board of directors are composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, you will not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of these corporate governance requirements. In the event that Summit Inc. ceases to be a “controlled company” and its shares continue to be listed on the NYSE, Summit Inc. will be required to comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods.

Board Committees

Summit Inc.’s board of directors has established an audit committee, a compensation committee and a corporate governance and nominating committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Summit Inc.’s board of directors may also establish from time to time any other committees that it deems necessary or desirable. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by Summit Inc.’s board of directors.

Audit Committee

The audit committee consists of Mr. Murphy, Mr. Gardner and Ms. Kahr, with Mr. Murphy serving as chair. The audit committee is responsible for, among other things:

• selecting and hiring our independent auditors, and approving the audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent auditors;

• assisting the board of directors in evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of our independent auditors;

• assisting the board of directors in monitoring the quality and integrity of our financial statements and our accounting and financial reporting;

• assisting the board of directors in monitoring our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;

• reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;

• assisting the board of directors in monitoring the performance of our internal audit function;

• reviewing with management and our independent auditors our annual and quarterly financial statements;

• establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints received by us regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and the confidential, anonymous submission by our employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters; and

• preparing the audit committee report that the rules and regulations of the SEC require to be included in Summit Inc.’s annual proxy statement.

Messrs. Murphy and Gardner qualify as independent directors under the NYSE governance standards and the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. The SEC rules and NYSE rules require Summit Inc. to have an audit committee composed entirely of independent members within one year of the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with Summit Inc.’s IPO, or March 11, 2016.

128

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee consists of Mr. Simpkins, Mr. Lance and Mr. Gardner, with Mr. Simpkins serving as chair. The compensation committee is responsible for, among other things:

• reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer, evaluating his/her performance in light of those goals and objectives and determining and approving his/her compensation level based on such evaluation;

• reviewing and approving, or making recommendations to the board of directors with respect to, the compensation of our other executive officers, including annual base salary, bonus and equity-based incentives and other benefits;

• reviewing and recommending the compensation of our directors;

• reviewing and discussing annually with management our “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” disclosure required by SEC rules;

• preparing the compensation committee report required by the SEC to be included in Summit Inc.’s annual proxy statement; and

• reviewing and making recommendations with respect to Summit Inc.’s equity compensation plans.

Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee

The corporate governance and nominating committee consists of Mr. Lance, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Simpkins, with Mr. Lance serving as chair. The corporate governance and nominating committee is responsible for, among other things:

• assisting the board of directors in identifying prospective director nominees and recommending nominees to the board of directors;

• overseeing the evaluation of the board of directors and management;

• reviewing developments in corporate governance practices and developing and recommending a set of corporate governance guidelines; and

• recommending members for each committee of the board of directors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Prior to the consummation of Summit Inc.’s IPO, the board did not have a compensation committee. All decisions about executive compensation in fiscal year 2014 were made by the board. Mr. Hill, who is a director and our President and Chief Executive Officer, generally participated in discussions and deliberations of the board regarding executive compensation. Other than Mr. Hill and Mr. Murphy, who served as our Interim Chief Financial Officer from December 18, 2012 to May 12, 2013 and from July 1, 2013 to October 14, 2013, no member of the board was at any time during fiscal year 2014, or at any other time, one of our officers or employees.

Code of Ethics

Summit Materials’ Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applies to all of our officers, directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer and controller, or persons performing similar functions and is posted on Summit Materials’ website. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is a “code of ethics,” as defined in Item 406(b) of Regulation S-K. Summit Materials intends to make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of its code of ethics on its website. The information contained on, or accessible from, Summit Materials’ website is not part of this prospectus by reference or otherwise.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

Overview

The executive compensation disclosure that follows explains the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to Thomas W. Hill, our President and Chief Executive Officer, Brian J. Harris, our Chief Financial Officer, and Doug C. Rauh, M. Shane Evans and Michael J. Brady, our three most highly compensated executive officers other than our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, serving at the end of fiscal year 2014. We refer to these individuals in this section as our “named executive officers” or “NEOs.”

Compensation Program Following Summit Inc.’s IPO

The design of our compensation program is expected to evolve as Summit Inc. moves from a private structure to that of a public company. We believe that we now have more flexibility in designing compensation programs to attract, motivate and retain our executives, including permitting us to regularly compensate executives with non-cash compensation reflective of our stock performance. We anticipate that long-term incentive compensation will be an integral part of our compensation program going forward, including under Summit Inc.’s omnibus incentive plan. See “—Summit Materials, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan.”

2014 Executive Compensation Structure

In fiscal 2014, our executive compensation structure consisted of three primary components: base salary; annual bonus and non-equity incentives; and grants of Class D interests through our unit interest program.

130

2014 Compensation Program Governance Highlights

What We Have Done (Best Practice)	What We Have Not Done / Have Not Allowed
ü Disclose performance goals for 2014 incentive payments	ü No hedging or pledging of Company stock by executives or directors
ü Set maximum payout caps on our annual incentives	ü No single-trigger or modified single-trigger change-in-control arrangements
ü Pay for performance with a significant portion of our NEOs’ total pay opportunity being performance-based compensation	ü No change-in-control severance multiple in excess of three times salary and target bonus
ü Limit perquisites and other benefits, as well as related tax gross-ups	ü No excise tax gross-ups upon a change in control
ü Incorporate general severance and change-in-control provisions that are consistent with market practice, including double-trigger requirements for change-in-control protection	ü No enhanced retirement formulas
ü Perform an annual compensation risk assessment

Compensation Decision Process

Prior to Summit Inc.’s IPO, Summit Holdings’ board had overall responsibility for the compensation program for our named executive officers. In connection with Summit Inc.’s IPO, this responsibility was delegated to a compensation committee of the board.

Objectives for NEO Compensation

Our executive compensation program is intended to attract, motivate, and retain executive officers and to align the interests of our executive officers with equity holders’ interests. The objectives for our program include, but are not limited to, the following:

• attract and retain talented and experienced executives in our industry;

• recognize and reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success;

• align the interests of our executive officers and equity holders by motivating executive officers to increase equity holdings and rewarding them when that value increases; and

• compensate our executives in a manner that encourages them to manage our business to meet our long-range objectives.

For our NEOs and select other senior executives, we employ a “pay-for-performance” philosophy that ties a significant portion of incentive compensation opportunity to our company-wide performance, which has historically consisted of an EBITDA metric, cash flows, and certain safety metrics. Prior to Summit Inc.’s IPO, our long-term incentive compensation was composed of time-based and performance-based Class D interests. See “—Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” and “—Long-Term Incentives” for detailed explanations of these plans.

Role of Management and the Board

Prior to Summit Inc.’s IPO, the board approved all compensation for executive officers. Our Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Hill, recommended to the board compensation levels for each NEO, excluding himself. In making these recommendations, Mr. Hill considered individual experience and performance, financial contribution to the Company and knowledge of executive compensation levels gained through years of experience in our industry. The board reviewed and discussed all recommendations prior to approval.

The board was solely responsible for assessing performance of and compensation for Mr. Hill. Management did not make compensation-related recommendations for the Chief Executive Officer. In executive session, without management present, the board reviewed Mr. Hill’s compensation and individual performance contributions.

Prior compensation realized does not affect the determination of future pay opportunities.

Role of the Compensation Consultant

Beginning in fall 2013, we retained an independent compensation consultant, Aon Hewitt, to assist us with respect to the 2014 salaries and bonuses and the 2013 bonus and other non-equity incentive plan compensation. The consultant was retained by and reported to management. Other than Aon Hewitt’s roles and services listed below with respect to compensation consulting, it performed no other services for us in fiscal year 2014.

Aon Hewitt’s specific compensation consultation roles include, but are not limited to, the following:

• advise management on executive compensation trends and regulatory developments;

• provide compensation studies for executives and recommendations for executive pay;

• provide advice to management on governance best practices, as well as any other areas of concern or risk; and

• review and comment on disclosure items, including “Executive and Director Compensation” disclosures.

Aon Hewitt provided management and the board of directors with benchmarking studies, which were used in determining the 2014 salaries and bonuses and 2013 bonuses and non-equity incentive plan compensation for executives.

Role of Competitive Market Data

The board has not relied on market survey data in making decisions regarding executive compensation. The board has exercised its discretion in setting both the individual compensation components and the total pay of each of our named executive officers at levels believed to be commensurate with their specific positions and job responsibilities, taking into account the need to retain and motivate our named executive officers to achieve superior levels of performance.

We anticipate that the board and/or the compensation committee may, in the future, more formally benchmark executive compensation against a peer group of comparable companies and may target specific percentile pay levels. We also anticipate that the board and/or compensation committee may make adjustments in executive compensation levels in the future as a result of this more formal benchmarking process.

Considerations Regarding 2014 NEO Compensation

Components of 2014 NEO Compensation

The following table outlines the major components of our 2014 executive compensation program for our NEOs:

Pay Component	Purpose	Characteristics	Fixed or Performance	Short or Long-Term
Base Salary	Attract and retain executives through market-based pay	Reflects executive’s experience, performance, and the board’s knowledge of executive compensation practices	Fixed	Short-Term
Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation	Encourages achievement of strategic and financial performance metrics that create long-term equity holder value	Based on achievement of predefined performance objectives and an assessment of individual performance	Performance	Short-Term
Long-Term Incentives	Aligns executives’ long-term compensation with equity holders’ investment interests; creates a retention incentive through multi-year vesting and performance cycles	Value to the executive is based on long-term value creation	Performance	Long-Term
Health/Welfare Plans and Retirement Benefits	Provides competitive benefits that promote employee health and productivity and support financial security	Similar to benefits offered to other employees	Fixed	Long-Term
Perquisites	Provides business-related benefits, where appropriate	Limited to car allowance, relocation expenses, club memberships and other business related reimbursements.	Fixed	Short-Term

Base Salary

Annual base salaries compensate our executive officers for fulfilling the requirements of their respective positions and provide them with a level of cash income predictability and stability with respect to a portion of their total compensation. The board has historically determined base salaries for the NEOs and other executives based on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the board’s understanding of executive pay practices, individual performance, Company performance and management recommendations (except for the Chief Executive Officer). The board approved the following base salary amounts for 2014.

	Base Salary
Thomas W. Hill	$	725,000
Brian J. Harris	$	489,250
Douglas C. Rauh	$	489,250
M. Shane Evans	$	378,010
Michael J. Brady	$	360,500

Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation

Each named executive officer is eligible to earn an annual incentive based upon the achievement of performance targets established by the board within the first three months of the fiscal year.

133

Annual Incentive Targets.At the start of each fiscal year the board approved annual incentive compensation targets, as a percentage of base salary, based on the board’s understanding of executive pay practices, management’s recommendations and other relevant factors. The 2014 annual incentive targets for our NEOs follow:

	Target Bonus
Thomas W. Hill		125	%
Brian J. Harris		75	%
Douglas C. Rauh		75	%
M. Shane Evans		60	%
Michael J. Brady		60	%

2014 Annual Incentive Metrics.The performance targets may be based on an EBITDA metric and/or free cash flow targets; however, the board, in its discretion, could adjust such performance targets in any fiscal year to reflect any merger, acquisition or divestiture affected by us during such fiscal year. In fiscal 2014, the performance targets were primarily based on an EBITDA metric, cash flows and safety and discretionary evaluations related primarily to the successful integration of acquired businesses. These may be measured at either the corporate or regional business level. For 2014, the measures were weighted as follows:

	EBITDA Metric			Cash Flow			Safety/ Discretionary
Thomas W. Hill		60	%		25	%		15	%
Brian J. Harris		60	%		25	%		15	%
Douglas C. Rauh		60	%		25	%		15	%
M. Shane Evans		60	%		20	%		20	%
Michael J. Brady		70	%		15	%		15	%

2014 Performance / Payout Scales. The payout opportunities associated with minimum, target, and maximum performance levels were consistent across the EBITDA and cash flow performance metrics. The minimum payout opportunity would be paid at 10% of target if the minimum performance level of 91% of goal was achieved, provided that the threshold level under the EBITDA metric was achieved. Target would be paid at earned if targeted performance was achieved. The maximum payout opportunity would be paid at 100% - 150% of target if the maximum performance level of 120% of goal was achieved.

2014 Actual Performance. Actual results for the 2014 Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan were certified by the board, as follows, based on the performance goals and funding scales approved in the first quarter of 2014:

• EBITDA Metric: The 2014 performance target was $212.5 million. We achieved an EBITDA metric of $214.1 million. The EBITDA metric portion was paid at 105% of target.

• Cash Flow: The 2014 performance target was $14.9 million. We achieved $24.3 million. The Cash Flow portion was paid at 122.5% of target.

• Safety/Discretionary Metrics: Payouts earned against target were 110%.

The following table summarizes the 2014 bonuses earned based on actual performance, as compared to the target opportunity for each NEO:

	Incentive Earned		Target Incentive		% of Target Earned
Thomas W. Hill	$	999,141	$	906,250		110	%
Brian J. Harris	$	404,549	$	366,938		110	%
Douglas C. Rauh	$	404,549	$	366,938		110	%
M. Shane Evans	$	301,652	$	226,806		133	%
Michael J. Brady	$	253,071	$	216,300		117	%

134

2013 Actual Performance. Actual results for the 2013 Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan were certified by the board, as follows, based on the performance goals and funding scales approved in the first quarter of 2013:

• EBITDA Metric: The 2013 performance target was $126.1 million. We achieved an EBITDA metric of $127.7 million. The EBITDA metric portion was paid at 101% of target.

• Cash Flow: The 2013 performance target was $13.9 million. We achieved $12.2 million. The Cash Flow portion was paid at 90% of target.

• Safety/Discretionary Metrics: Payouts earned against target were 150%.

The following table summarizes the 2013 bonuses earned based on actual performance, as compared to the target opportunity for each NEO:

	Incentive Earned		Target Incentive		% of Target Earned
Thomas W. Hill	$	563,850	$	525,000		107	%
Douglas C. Rauh(1)	$	382,073	$	356,250		107	%
M. Shane Evans	$	275,143	$	220,200		125	%

(1) Mr. Rauh received an additional discretionary bonus of $29,212 for performing dual roles as Chief Operating Officer and East Region President.

Long-Term Incentives

Certain of our employees, including our named executive officers, received Class D interests in Summit Holdings between 2009 and 2014. The Class D interests provided rights to cash distributions based on a predetermined distribution formula (as provided for in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement dated December 23, 2013) upon Summit Holdings’ general partner declaring a distribution. Under the limited partnership agreement, these interests would have been entitled to distributions as determined by the board on a pro rata basis with the Class B and Class C interests after returns of capital to Class A and Class B holders (Blackstone and other investors) and a preferential distribution to Class C Holders.

No additional Class D interests will be granted. Existing grants were unitized in connection with Summit Inc.’s IPO. In connection with Summit Inc.’s IPO, our directors, officers and employees surrendered all vested and unvested Class D interests held by them and received vested and unvested LP Units in connection with the modification of the capital structure of Summit Holdings (the “Reclassification”), and stock options. The LP Units and stock options issued in exchange for unvested Class D interests are generally subject to the same vesting conditions as were applicable to the corresponding Class D interests, as described below. For more information, see “—Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Fiscal Year End.”

Vesting

There were four categories of Class D interests:

• Class D-1 U.S. Interests;

• Class D-1 Non-U.S. Interests;

• Class D-2 U.S. Interests; and

• Class D-2 Non-U.S. Interests.

Generally, 50% of each category of Class D-1 interests vested with the passage of time (“time-vesting interests”) and the remaining 50% of the Class D-1 interests and all Class D-2 interests vested if certain investment returns were achieved by Summit Holdings’ investors (“performance-vesting interests”).

135

Time vesting interests generally vested as follows: 20% vested on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 80% vested monthly over the four years following the first anniversary of the grant date. The time-vesting interests would have become fully vested on an accelerated basis upon a change in control while the employee continued to provide services to us. Any of the time-vesting interests that were unvested upon termination of the employee’s services would have been forfeited by the employee.

Performance-vesting interests would have vested if certain investment returns were achieved by Blackstone-affiliated investors while the employee continued to provide services to us or our subsidiaries. There were two performance levels at which performance-vesting interests generally would have vested: achievement of 1.75 times (as to the Class D-1 interests) and 3.00 times (as to the Class D-2 interests) the Blackstone-affiliated investors’ initial investment.

Unvested interests were generally forfeited upon termination of employment by the holder. However, if the employee was terminated without “cause” (as defined in the Class D interest subscription agreement) or resigned due to a “constructive termination” (as defined in such employee’s employment agreement) within 12 months preceding a “change of control” or a “public offering” (each as defined in Summit Holdings’ limited partnership agreement), any performance-vesting interests that would have been eligible to vest in connection with such transaction would have been restored and would have been eligible to vest based on the proceeds of such transaction.

If a holder’s employment was terminated by us for “cause,” or the holder violated a restrictive covenant, any vested Class D interests were automatically forfeited. If a holder’s employment was terminated by us without “cause,” we could, under specified circumstances, repurchase the holder’s vested Class D interests at a price per unit equal to the fair market value of such Class D interests, minus any amounts already distributed to the holder in respect of such Class D interests.

If a holder’s employment terminated as a result of the voluntary resignation of the holder, we could elect to convert all of the employee’s Class D interests into a right to a fixed cash payment capped at a specified amount determined at the time of termination. The fixed cash payment calculated for this purpose would be an amount equal to the fair market value of the holder’s vested Class D interests minus any amounts already distributed to the holder in respect of such Class D interests.

Grants of Class D interests were generally awarded at hire and when there were additional Class A and Class B investments. Grants to employees are generally based on the role and responsibility of the executive. In 2014, the following NEOs were granted Class D interests:

• Thomas W. Hill: 40.5 Class D-1 time vesting interests and 40.5 Class D-1 performance vesting interests and 12.1 Class D-2 performance vesting interests. Grants were made upon additional Class A and Class B investments.

• Brian J. Harris: 235.9 Class D-1 time vesting interests and 235.9 Class D-1 performance vesting interests and 70.8 Class D-2 performance vesting interests. Grants were made for Mr. Harris’ 2013 hire and upon additional Class A and Class B investments.

• Douglas C. Rauh: 12.9 Class D-1 time vesting interests and 12.9 Class D-1 performance vesting interests and 3.9 Class D-2 performance vesting interests. Grants were made upon additional Class A and Class B investments.

• M. Shane Evans: 7.3 Class D-1 time vesting interests and 7.3 Class D-1 performance vesting interests and 2.2 Class D-2 performance vesting interests. Grants were made upon additional Class A and Class B investments.

• Michael J. Brady: 12.2 Class D-1 time vesting interests and 12.2 Class D-1 performance vesting interests and 3.7 Class D-2 performance vesting interests. Grants were made upon additional Class A and Class B investments.

136

Conversion of Class D Interests.In connection with the Reclassification, all vested and unvested Class D interests were converted into vested and unvested LP Units, respectively. The vesting terms are substantially similar to those applicable to the unvested Class D interests immediately prior to the Reclassification. The number of LP Units delivered in respect of each Class D interest was determined based on the amount of proceeds that would be distributed to such Class D interest if the Company were to be sold at a value derived from the IPO price of $18.00 per share, and the intrinsic value of the LP Units issued in respect of each Class D interest equals the hypothetical proceeds such Class D interest would have received.

The precise number of LP Units delivered in respect of Class D interests was based on the IPO price of $18.00 per share. The aggregate number of vested and unvested LP Units issued to holders of Class D interests was 4,523,782, and the number of LP Units issued to our named executive officers in connection with their respective Class D interests was: Mr. Hill, 1,313,579; Mr. Harris, 275,673; and Mr. Rauh, 292,946. The total number of unvested LP Units issued was 3,000,617, or approximately 3.3% of the total of 92,258,702 LP Units issued and outstanding following Summit Inc.’s IPO and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the contribution and purchase agreement with the former holders of Class B Units of Continental Cement (the “Former CCC Minority Holders”). The vesting conditions applicable to these unvested LP Units are as follows:

• 575,256, or approximately 19.2%, of such unvested LP Units will become vested based on the holder’s continued employment (or upon certain qualifying terminations of employment, as described above), with substantially all of such LP Units eligible to become vested by September 1, 2019;

• 1,865,667, or approximately 62.2%, of such unvested LP Units will generally only vest if Summit Holdings’ Blackstone-affiliated investors receive a return multiple on invested capital of 1.75 times their initial investment, generally subject to the holder’s continued employment through that realization date; and

• 559,694, or approximately 18.7%, of such unvested LP Units will generally only vest if such investors receive a return multiple on invested capital of 3.00 times their initial investment, generally subject to the holder’s continued employment through that realization date.

In connection with the Reclassification, Summit Inc. granted options to purchase shares of Class A common stock under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to all holders of Class D interests whose interests were converted in the Reclassification, including each of our named executive officers, in substitution for part of the economic benefit of the Class D interests that is not reflected in the conversion of Class D interests to LP Units. We refer to these stock options as “leverage restoration options.” The exercise price for the leverage restoration options is the IPO price of $18.00 per share. All leverage restoration options are subject to a four year vesting period whereby 25% of the options vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. In addition, leverage restoration options that correlate to performance-vesting interests vest when the relevant return multiple is achieved. The aggregate number of leverage restoration options granted to holders of Class D interests was 4,358,842, and the number of leverage restoration options granted to our named executive officers was: Mr. Hill, 1,286,114; Mr. Harris, 232,760; and Mr. Rauh, 295,608.

In connection with the IPO, Summit Inc. granted options to purchase shares of Class A common stock under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to other employees some of whom did not hold equity-based incentive awards. The exercise price of these stock options is equal to the IPO price of $18.00 per share and these stock options are subject to a four year vesting period whereby 25% of the options vest on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date. See “—Summit Materials, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan.”

Summit Materials, LLC Retirement Plan

We have a qualified contributory retirement plan established to qualify as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The plan covers all corporate employees, including our named executive officers, who are limited to their annual tax deferred contribution limit as allowed by the IRS and may contribute up to 75% of their gross wages. We provide for

137

matching contributions to the plan, including 100% of pre-tax employee contributions and up to 4% of eligible compensation. Employer contributions vest immediately. In 2014, employees outside of the corporate office were covered by a variety of other plans, all of which qualified as deferred salary arrangements under Section 401(k) of the Code.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth the compensation of our named executive officers for the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012, and their respective titles at December 27, 2014.

(1) Reflects the bonus and non-equity incentive plan compensation awards for services rendered during the fiscal year presented. The amounts of the bonus payments were determined by the board in its discretion. For more information, see “—Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”

(2) The amount reported in the Stock Awards column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the time-vesting portion of the Class D interests granted in 2014 computed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC 718”). The assumptions applied in determining the fair value of the Class D interests are discussed in Note 20, Employee Long Term Incentive Plan, to our December 27, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This amount reflects our calculation of the value of the awards at the grant date and do not necessarily correspond to the actual value that may ultimately be recognized by the NEOs. A portion of the Class D interests granted in 2014 and 2013 vested under certain performance conditions, which were not deemed probable of occurring, and therefore have not been included in the table above. The unrecognized value of these awards assuming the highest level of performance conditions have been achieved and based on the aggregate grant date fair value was $102,940 for Mr. Hill in 2014, $599,779 for Mr. Harris in 2014, $32,686, $214,508 and $447,099 for Mr. Rauh in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, $18,631 for Mr. Evans in 2014 and $31,052 for Mr. Brady in 2014.

(3) All Other Compensation includes the following items: (a) amounts contributed by us under the Summit Materials, LLC Retirement Plan; (b) payments for term life insurance; (c) car allowances; (d) relocation costs and related tax gross-ups; (e) gym membership costs; (f) country club dues; and (g) fuel reimbursement for commuting. Amounts contributed to the Summit Materials, LLC Retirement Plan are matching contributions up to 4% of eligible compensation subject to IRS limits and totaled $10,400 for each of the NEOs in 2014 and $10,200 for both Mr. Hill and Mr. Rauh in 2013. Matching contributions are immediately vested. For more information, see “—Summit Materials, LLC Retirement Plan.” Payments for term life insurance were as follows: Mr. Hill—$9,223; Mr. Harris—$2,267 Mr. Rauh—$1,212;

138

Mr. Evans—$3,294 and Mr. Brady—$559 in 2014 and Mr. Hill—$2,451 and Mr. Rauh—$1,173 in 2013. Payments made by us for car allowances were as follows: $12,000 each for Mr. Harris and Mr. Evans in 2014 and $20,851 for Mr. Rauh in both 2014 and 2013. Payments made by us associated with Mr. Rauh’s relocation were $1,065 in 2013. For more details about the payments made to Mr. Rauh, see “—Employment Agreements—Douglas C. Rauh.”

(1) Reflects the possible payouts of cash incentive compensation under the Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan. Amounts reported in the “Threshold” column assumes that threshold performance is achieved under the EBITDA performance metric of the annual cash incentive program and that the threshold achievement under the cash flow and safety/discretionary performance metrics were not met. The actual amounts paid are described in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the “Summary Compensation Table.”

(2) Reflects the performance-vesting Class D interests which vested, as to 50% of the Class D-1 interests, if affiliates of Blackstone received a 1.75 times return on their initial invested capital and, as to 100% of the Class D-2 interests, if affiliates of Blackstone received a 3.00 times return on their initial invested capital.

(3) Reflects time-vesting Class D interests, 20% of which generally vested on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 80% of which vested monthly over the four years following the first anniversary. Mr. Harris’ award granted on April 1, 2014 had a vesting start date of October 14, 2013, his date of hire.

(4) In connection with the IPO, the performance-vesting Class D interests and the time-vesting Class D interests were converted into LP Units, and Summit Inc. granted leverage restoration options, each with terms described under “—Long-Term Incentives.”

(5) The amount reported in the Grant Date Fair Value of Stock Awards column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of our Class D interests computed in accordance with ASC 718. The assumptions applied in determining the fair value of the Class D interests are discussed in Note 20, Employee Long Term Incentive Plan, to our December 27, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This amount reflects Summit Inc.’s calculation of the value of the awards at the grant date and does not necessarily correspond to the actual value that may ultimately be recognized by the NEO. A portion of the Class D interests granted in 2014 vested under certain performance conditions, which were

139

not deemed probable of occurring, and therefore no value has been included in the table above. The performance conditions for the performance-vesting Class D interests are described in “—Long-Term Incentives.”

Employment Agreements

Messrs. Hill, Harris and Rauh each have employment agreements and Messrs. Evans and Brady have signed offers of employment. Their employment agreements and offers of employment provide for base salary subject to annual adjustment by the board, an annual incentive award, participation in broad-based and executive benefit plans and such other compensation as may be approved by the board. Generally, the employment agreements have an initial term of three years, unless earlier terminated or otherwise renewed pursuant to the terms thereof and are automatically extended for successive one-year periods following the expiration of each term unless notice is given by us or the executive not to renew.

Thomas W. Hill

An employment agreement was entered into with Mr. Hill, dated as of July 30, 2009, whereby Mr. Hill serves as the Chief Executive Officer of Summit Holdings and the Chief Executive Officer of the entity that served as the general partner of the Company prior to the consummation of Summit Inc.’s IPO. Mr. Hill also will continue to serve as a member of the board so long as he serves in the foregoing capacities. Mr. Hill’s employment agreement had an initial term equal to three years commencing on July 30, 2009, which is automatically extended for additional one-year periods, unless one party provides the other party 60 days’ prior written notice before the next extension date that the employment term will not be so extended. However, if Summit Holdings is dissolved pursuant to the terms of its limited partnership agreement, then the employment term shall automatically and immediately be terminated.

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Hill’s initial annual base salary was set at $300,000, which amount is reviewed annually by the board, and may be increased (but not decreased). Mr. Hill is also eligible to earn an annual bonus of up to 100% of his base salary (or an increased percentage at the discretion of the board, such an increase was made in 2014 to 125%) based upon the achievement of performance targets established by the board within the first three months of each fiscal year. The board, in its sole discretion, may appropriately adjust such performance targets in any fiscal year to reflect any merger, acquisition or divestiture effected during such fiscal year. Mr. Hill is also entitled to participate in employee benefit plans, as in effect from time to time, on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other senior executives.

If Mr. Hill’s employment is terminated (i) with “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) or (ii) by him other than as a result of a “constructive termination” (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to certain accrued amounts. If Mr. Hill’s employment is terminated as a result of his death or “disability” (as defined in the employment agreement), he will be entitled to receive (a) certain accrued amounts and (b) a pro rata portion of the annual bonus, if any, that Mr. Hill would have been entitled to receive, payable when such annual bonus would have otherwise been payable to him had his employment not been terminated. If Mr. Hill’s employment was terminated on December 27, 2014 as a result of his death or “disability,” he would have been entitled to receive a bonus of $999,141. If Mr. Hill’s employment is terminated (i) without “cause” or (ii) by him as a result of a “constructive termination,” subject to his continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants and his non-revocation of a general release of claims, he will be entitled to receive (a) certain accrued amounts, (b) continued payment of his base salary in accordance with normal payroll practices, as in effect on the date of termination of his employment, until 18 months after the date of such termination and (c) an amount equal to one and one-half times his annual bonus in respect of the fiscal year immediately preceding the applicable year of his termination of employment; provided that the aggregate amounts shall be reduced by the present value of any other cash severance or termination benefits payable to him under any other plans, programs or arrangements. If Mr. Hill’s employment was terminated on December 27, 2014 without “cause” or as a result of a “constructive termination,” he would have been entitled to (1) continued payment of his base salary for

140

18 months, or $1,087,500, and (2) an amount equal to one and one-half times his annual bonus in respect of 2013, or $845,775.

If Mr. Hill was terminated without “cause” (as defined in the Class D interest subscription agreement) or as a result of a “constructive termination” (as defined in his employment agreement) within 12 months preceding a change in control or a public offering (each as defined in Summit Holdings’ limited partnership agreement), his performance-vesting Class D interests would have been eligible to vest based on the proceeds of that transaction. In addition, upon a change in control, all of Mr. Hill’s unvested time-vesting Class D interests would have vested. The value of his unvested time-vesting Class D interests and his performance-vesting Class D interests as of December 27, 2014 is reflected in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Fiscal Year End” table.

In the event (i) Mr. Hill elects not to extend the employment term or (ii) of a “dissolution” with a “negative return” (as such terms are defined in the employment agreement), unless Mr. Hill’s employment is earlier terminated as described above, Mr. Hill’s termination of employment shall be deemed to occur on the close of business on the earlier of the effective date of “dissolution” or the day immediately preceding the next scheduled extension date, and Mr. Hill shall be entitled to receive certain accrued amounts. In the event (i) that Summit Holdings elects not to extend the employment term or (ii) of a “dissolution” with a “positive return” (as such terms are defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Hill shall be treated as terminated without “cause” effective as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the next scheduled extension date or the effective date of the “dissolution,” and shall be entitled to receive the amounts and benefits for termination without “cause” described above.

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Hill is subject to the following covenants: (i) a covenant not to disclose confidential information while employed and at all times thereafter; (ii) a covenant not to compete for a period of 18 months following his termination of employment for any reason; and (iii) a covenant not to solicit employees or customers for a period of 18 months following his termination of employment for any reason.

Pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Rauh’s annual base salary was set at $450,000, which amount is reviewed annually by the board, and may be increased (but not decreased).

The board, in its sole discretion, may appropriately adjust such performance targets in any fiscal year to reflect any merger, acquisition or divestiture effected during such fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Mr. Rauh’s minimum annual bonus for 2012 (payable in 2013) was $150,000. In addition, after Mr. Rauh commenced his employment, we paid Mr. Rauh a starting bonus of $400,000 in a lump sum. Mr. Rauh is entitled to a car allowance in the amount of $1,000 per month, in addition to reimbursement for Mr. Rauh’s actual expenditures for gasoline, upon submission of appropriate documentation.

These obligations were satisfied in 2012 and are included in the amounts reported for Mr. Rauh in 2012 in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. In addition, the agreement provides that Mr. Rauh be reimbursed for his out of pocket costs for payment of COBRA continuation premiums in connection with health care insurance covering Mr. Rauh and his family, until such time as Mr. Rauh and his family obtain coverage under the health care insurance plan. These obligations were satisfied by Summit Holdings in 2012 and are also

143

included in the amounts reported for Mr. Rauh in 2012 in the “All Other Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. Mr. Rauh is also entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans as in effect from time to time, on the same basis as those benefits are generally made available to other senior executives.

If Mr. Rauh’s employment is terminated (i) without “cause” or (ii) by him as a result of a “constructive termination” (as defined in the employment agreement), subject to his continued compliance with certain restrictive covenants and his non-revocation of a general release of claims, he will be entitled to receive (a) certain accrued amounts, (b) continued payment of his base salary in accordance with Summit Holdings’ normal payroll practices, as in effect on the date of termination of his employment, until 12 months after the date of such termination (the “Severance Period”), (c) an amount equal to Mr. Rauh’s annual bonus in respect of the fiscal year immediately preceding the applicable year of Mr. Rauh’s termination of employment, payable in equal monthly installments for 18 months after the date of such termination and (d) the costs of COBRA health continuation coverage for the lesser of the Severance Period or 18 months after the date of such termination (or, if shorter, until COBRA coverage ends under the group health plan); provided that the aggregate amounts shall be reduced by the present value of any other cash severance or termination benefits payable to Mr. Rauh under any other plans, programs or arrangements. If Mr. Rauh’s employment was terminated on December 27, 2014 without “cause” or as a result of a “constructive termination,” he would have been entitled to (i) continued payment of his base salary for 12 months, or $489,250, (ii) an amount equal to his annual bonus in respect of 2013, or $382,073 and (iii) the costs of COBRA health coverage for 12 months after his date of termination, or $10,839, based on 2014 rates.

If Mr. Rauh was terminated without “cause” (as defined in the Class D interest subscription agreement) or as a result of a “constructive termination” within 12 months preceding a change in control or a public offering (each as defined in Summit Holdings’ limited partnership agreement), his performance-vesting Class D interests would have been eligible to vest based on the proceeds of that transaction. In addition, upon a change in control, all of Mr. Rauh’s unvested time-vesting Class D interests would have vested. The value of his unvested time-vesting Class D interests and his performance-vesting Class D interests as of December 27, 2014 is reflected in the “Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Fiscal Year End” table.

144

to compete for a period of 12 months following his termination of employment for any reason; and (iii) a covenant not to solicit employees or customers for a period of 12 months following his termination of employment for any reason.

(1) Reflects time-vesting Class D interests, 20% of which generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 80% vest monthly over the four years following the first anniversary. The time-vesting interests will become fully vested on an accelerated basis upon a change in control while the employee continues to provide services to us. Any of the time-vesting interests that are unvested upon termination of the employee’s services will be forfeited by the employee.

(2) Reflects the aggregated fair values at December 27, 2014 based on the most recent valuation of the Class D interests.

(3) Reflects performance-vesting interests that vest when certain investment returns are achieved by Blackstone-affiliated investors while the employee continues to provide services to us.

Compensation Program Risk Assessment

The board performed a risk assessment and concluded that our compensation programs are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. The following factors mitigate risk associated with our compensation programs:

• annual goal setting process with incentives linked to business results;

• annual performance review process where results are assessed against goals;

• board review of goals, results and incentive amounts; and

• maximum payout opportunity is capped.

Director Compensation

In 2014, we paid compensation only to our directors who were not employed by us, Blackstone or Silverhawk for their services as directors, as detailed in the table below. Following Summit Inc.’s IPO, directors who are not employed by us, Blackstone or Silverhawk receive cash compensation or equity incentive awards for each quarter serving as a director. These directors are entitled to annual compensation of $150,000, the chairperson of the board receives an additional $90,000, and the respective chairpersons of the audit committee, compensation committee and corporate governance and nominating committee receive an additional $15,000, $10,000 and $10,000, respectively. Directors who are not employed by us may also receive compensation, from time to time, for service on any special committees of the board. Directors may elect to receive a portion of their compensation, in an amount up to the lesser of 50% of their annual compensation or $100,000, in the form of equity. We may also reimburse our directors for any reasonable expenses incurred by them in connection with services provided in such capacity.

In March 2013, Mr. Lance was granted 434.34 Class D-1 interests and 65.2 Class D-2 interests consistent with the terms described in “—Long-Term Incentives,” except that Mr. Lance’s equity award is subject to vesting based solely on his continued service on the board. The aggregate number of vested and unvested LP Units issued to Mr. Lance in respect of his Class D interests was 221,480, and the number of leverage restoration options was 246,611.

In fiscal 2014, John R. Murphy was entitled to an annual cash retainer of $100,000 and an equity grant of $50,000 for his service as a director. In 2014 and 2013, he was granted 6.2 and 8.6 Class D-1 interests, respectively, and 0.9 and 1.3 Class D-2 interests, respectively, consistent with the terms described in “—Long-Term Incentives,” except that Mr. Murphy’s equity award is subject to vesting based solely on his continued service on the board. Mr. Murphy was compensated $316,274 for his services as our Interim Chief Financial Officer from January 2013 to May 2013 and from July 2013 to October 2013. The aggregate number of vested and unvested LP Units issued to Mr. Murphy in respect of his Class D interests was 11,274, and the number of leverage restoration options was 10,220.

The table below summarizes the compensation paid to non-employee directors for their board service during the year ended December 27, 2014.

(1) The amount reported in the Stock Awards column reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of the time-vesting portion of our Class D interests computed in accordance with ASC 718. The assumptions applied in determining the fair value of the Class D interests are discussed in Note 20, Employee Long Term Incentive Plan, to our December 27, 2014 audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. This amount reflects our calculation of the value of the awards at the grant date and does not necessarily correspond to the actual value that may ultimately be recognized by the director. The performance conditions for the performance-vesting interests are described above in “—Long-Term Incentives.” The performance-vesting units granted vested under performance conditions which were not deemed probable of occurring, and, therefore, have not been included in the table above. The unrecognized value of these awards assuming the highest level of performance conditions would have been achieved was $7,818 for Mr. Murphy.

In connection with Summit Inc.’s IPO, Summit Inc.’s board of directors adopted, and its stockholders approved, the Summit Materials, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The purpose of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is to provide a means through which to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby Summit Inc.’s directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors (and prospective directors, officers, employees, consultants and advisors) can acquire and maintain an equity interest in Summit Inc., or be paid incentive compensation, including incentive compensation measured by reference to the value of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock, thereby strengthening their commitment to our welfare and aligning their interests with those of Summit Inc.’s stockholders.

147

Administration

The Omnibus Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of Summit Inc.’s board of directors or such other committee of Summit Inc.’s board of directors to which it has delegated power, or if no such committee or subcommittee thereof exists, the board of directors (as applicable, the “Committee”). The Committee has the sole and complete authority to designate participants and establish the types, terms and conditions of any award consistent with the provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Committee is authorized to interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in and/or supply any omission in the Omnibus Incentive Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or any award granted under, the Omnibus Incentive Plan; establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Committee deems appropriate for the proper administration of the Omnibus Incentive Plan; and to make any other determination and take any other action that the Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which the securities of Summit Inc. are listed or traded, the Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it in accordance with the terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Any such allocation or delegation may be revoked by the Committee at any time. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the Omnibus Incentive Plan or any award or any documents evidencing awards granted pursuant to the Omnibus Incentive Plan are within the sole discretion of the Committee, may be made at any time and are final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, Summit Inc., any participant, any holder or beneficiary of any award, and any of Summit Inc.’s stockholders.

Shares Subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan

The Omnibus Incentive Plan provides that the total number of shares of Class A common stock that may be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan is 13,500,000. As of September 26, 2015, 4,617,171 shares had been issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Of the total number, the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock for which incentive stock options may be granted is 13,500,000; the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock for which options or stock appreciation rights may be granted to any individual participant during any single fiscal year is 2,000,000; the maximum number of shares for which performance compensation awards denominated in shares may be granted to any individual participant in respect of a single fiscal year is 2,000,000 (or if any such awards are settled in cash, the maximum amount may not exceed the fair market value of such shares on the last day of the performance period to which such award relates); the maximum number of shares of Class A common stock granted during a single fiscal year to any non-employee director, taken together with any cash fees paid to such non-employee director during the fiscal year, shall not exceed $1.0 million in total value; and the maximum amount that may be paid to any individual participant for a single fiscal year under a performance compensation award denominated in cash is $5.0 million. Except for substitute awards (as described below), in the event any award is canceled, is forfeited, terminates, lapses, or is settled without the delivery of the full number of shares subject to such award, including as a result of net settlement of the award or as a result of the award being settled in cash, the undelivered shares may be granted again under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, unless the shares are surrendered after the termination of the Omnibus Incentive Plan or stockholder approval is not required under the then-applicable rules of the exchange on which the shares of Class A common stock are listed. Awards may, in the sole discretion of the Committee, be granted in assumption of, or in substitution for, outstanding awards previously granted by an entity directly or indirectly acquired by Summit Inc. or with which Summit Inc. combines (referred to as “substitute awards”), and such substitute awards shall not be counted against the total number of shares that may be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, except that substitute awards intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” shall count against the limit on incentive stock options described above. No award may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan after the tenth anniversary of the effective date (as defined therein), but awards theretofore granted may extend beyond that date.

148

Options

The Committee may grant non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the Omnibus Incentive Plan; provided that all stock options granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan are required to have a per share exercise price that is not less than 100% of the fair market value of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock underlying such stock options on the date such stock options are granted (other than in the case of options that are substitute awards), and all stock options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options must be granted pursuant to an award agreement expressly stating that the options are intended to qualify as incentive stock options, and will be subject to the terms and conditions that comply with the rules as may be prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. The maximum term for stock options granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be ten years from the initial date of grant, or with respect to any stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options, such shorter period as prescribed by Section 422 of the Code. However, if a non-qualified stock option would expire at a time when trading of shares of Class A common stock is prohibited by Summit Inc.’s insider trading policy (or “blackout period” imposed by Summit Inc.), the term will automatically be extended to the 30th day following the end of such period (but not to exceed five years from the grant date). The purchase price for the Class A common stock as to which a stock option is exercised may be paid to Summit Inc., to the extent permitted by law (1) in cash or its equivalent at the time the stock option is exercised, (2) in Class A common stock having a fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price for the shares being purchased and satisfying any requirements that may be imposed by the Committee, or (3) by such other method as the Committee may permit in its sole discretion, including without limitation (A) in other property having a fair market value on the date of exercise equal to the purchase price, (B) if there is a public market for the Class A common stock at such time, through the delivery of irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell the shares being acquired upon the exercise of the stock option and to deliver to Summit Inc. the amount of the proceeds of such sale equal to the aggregate exercise price for the Class A common stock being purchased, or (C) through a “net exercise” procedure effected by withholding the minimum number of shares needed to pay the exercise price and all applicable required withholding taxes. Any fractional shares of Class A common stock will be settled in cash.

Stock Appreciation Rights

The Committee may grant stock appreciation rights, with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the Omnibus Incentive Plan. Generally, each stock appreciation right will entitle the participant upon exercise to an amount (in cash, Class A common stock or a combination of cash and Class A common stock, as determined by the Committee) equal to the product of (1) the excess of (A) the fair market value on the exercise date of one share of Class A common stock, over (B) the strike price per share, times (2) the numbers of shares of Class A common stock covered by the stock appreciation right. The strike price per share of a stock appreciation right will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant but in no event may such amount be less than the fair market value of a share of Class A common stock on the date the stock appreciation right is granted (other than in the case of stock appreciation rights granted in substitution of previously granted awards). The Committee may in its sole discretion substitute, without the consent of the holder or beneficiary of such stock appreciation rights, stock appreciation rights settled in shares of Class A common stock (or settled in shares or cash in the sole discretion of the Committee) for nonqualified stock options.

Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units

The Committee may grant restricted shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock or restricted stock units, representing the right to receive, upon the expiration of the applicable restricted period, one share of Class A common stock for each restricted stock unit, or, in the sole discretion of the Committee, the cash value thereof (or any combination thereof). As to restricted shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock, subject to the other provisions of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the holder will generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such restricted shares of Class A common stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote

149

such restricted shares of Class A common stock and to receive any dividends payable on such restricted shares (except that if the lapsing of restrictions with respect to such restricted shares of Class A common stock is contingent on satisfaction of performance conditions other than or in addition to the passage of time, any dividends payable on such restricted shares of Class A common stock will be retained and delivered without interest to the holder of such shares when the restrictions on such shares lapse). To the extent provided in the applicable award agreement, the holder of outstanding restricted stock units will be entitled to be credited with dividend equivalent payments (upon the payment by us of dividends on shares of Class A common stock) either in cash or, at the sole discretion of the Committee, in shares of Class A common stock having a value equal to the amount of such dividends (and interest may, at the sole discretion of the Committee, be credited on the amount of cash dividend equivalents at a rate and subject to such terms as determined by the Committee), which will be payable at the same time as the underlying restricted stock units are settled following the release of restrictions on such restricted stock units.

LP Unit Awards

The Committee may issue awards in the form of LP Units or other classes of partnership units in Summit Holdings established pursuant to Summit Holdings’ agreement of limited partnership. LP Unit awards will be valued by reference to, or otherwise determined by reference to or based on, shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock. LP Unit awards may be (1) convertible, exchangeable or redeemable for other limited partnership interests in Summit Holdings or shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock or (2) valued by reference to the book value, fair value or performance of Summit Holdings. Other than to the extent required in connection with the issuance of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock, Summit Inc. generally does not expect to issue awards of LP Units under the Omnibus Incentive Plan unless the Committee determines that an award of LP Units is appropriate.

For purposes of calculating the number of shares underlying LP Unit awards relative to the total number of shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock available for issuance under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, the Committee will establish in good faith the maximum number of shares to which a participant receiving an LP Unit award may be entitled upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth in the relevant award documentation, including vesting conditions, partnership capital account allocations, value accretion factors, conversion ratios, exchange ratios and other similar criteria. If and when any such conditions are no longer capable of being met, in whole or in part, the number of shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock underlying such LP Unit award will be reduced accordingly by the Committee, and the number of shares available under the Omnibus Incentive Plan will be increased by one share for each share so reduced. The Committee will determine all other terms of LP Unit awards. The award documentation in respect of LP Unit awards may provide that the recipient will be entitled to receive, currently or on a deferred or contingent basis, dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to the number of shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock underlying the award or other distributions from Summit Holdings prior to vesting (whether based on a period of time or based on attainment of specified performance conditions), as determined at the time of grant by the Committee, in its sole discretion, and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) will be deemed to have been reinvested in additional shares of Class A common stock or LP Units.

Other Stock-Based or Cash-Based Awards

The Committee may issue unrestricted Class A common stock, rights to receive grants of awards at a future date, or other awards denominated in shares of Class A common stock (including, without limitation, performance shares or performance units) or other awards denominated in cash (including cash bonuses), under the Omnibus Incentive Plan, with terms and conditions determined by the Committee that are not inconsistent with the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Performance Compensation Awards

The Committee may also designate any award as a “performance compensation award” intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Committee also has the authority to

150

make an award of a cash bonus to any participant and designate such award as a performance compensation award under the Omnibus Incentive Plan. The Committee has sole discretion to select the length of any applicable performance periods, the types of performance compensation awards to be issued, the applicable performance criteria and performance goals, and the kinds and/or levels of performance goals that are to apply. The performance criteria that will be used to establish the performance goals may be based on the attainment of specific levels of our performance (and/or one or more affiliates, divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments or any combination of the foregoing) and are limited to the following, which may be determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP or on a non-GAAP basis: net earnings or net income (before or after taxes); cash flow, including but not limited to operating cash flow or free cash flow; cash and/or funds available for distribution; EBITDA; growth in EBITDA determined on an annual, multi-year or other basis; deployment of value-adding capital via organic investment or acquisitions; return measures (including, but not limited to, return on assets, investment, capital, invested capital, equity and/or development); share price (including, but not limited to, appreciation, growth measures and total stockholder return on an annual, multi-year or other basis); debt and debt-related ratios, including debt to total market capitalization, debt to EBITDA, debt to assets and fixed charge coverage ratios (determined with or without the pro rata share of our ownership interest in co-investment partnerships); net asset value per share; growth in net asset value per share determined on an annual, multi-year or other basis; basic or diluted earnings per share (before or after taxes); expense targets or cost reduction goals, general and administrative expense savings; operating efficiency; working capital targets; measures of economic value added or other “value creation” metrics; enterprise value; competitive market metrics; performance or yield on development or redevelopment projects; objective measures of personal targets, goals or completion of projects (including but not limited to succession and hiring projects, completion of specific acquisitions, dispositions, reorganizations or other corporate transactions or capital-raising transactions, expansions of specific business operations and meeting divisional or project budgets); market share; operational or performance measurements relative to peers; strategic objectives and related revenue; productivity measures; employee retention; workplace health and safety; objective measures of employee morale and satisfaction; corporate social responsibility measures; environmental safety or compliance metrics; or any combination of the foregoing. Any one or more of the performance criteria may be stated as a percentage of another performance criteria, or used on an absolute or relative basis to measure our performance and/or our affiliates as a whole or any of our divisions or operational and/or business units, product lines, brands, business segments, administrative departments or any combination thereof, as the Committee may deem appropriate, or any of the above performance criteria may be compared to the performance of a selected group of comparison companies, or a published or special index that the Committee, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, or as compared to various stock market indices. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee at the time a performance compensation award is granted, the Committee shall, during the first 90 days of a performance period (or, within any other maximum period allowed under Section 162(m) of the Code), or at any time thereafter to the extent the exercise of such authority at such time would not cause the performance compensation awards granted to any participant for such performance period to fail to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, specify adjustments or modifications to be made to the calculation of a performance goal for such performance period, based on and in order to appropriately reflect the following events: (1) asset write-downs; (2) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements; (3) the effect of changes in tax laws, accounting principles, or other laws or regulatory rules affecting reported results; (4) any reorganization and restructuring programs; (5) extraordinary nonrecurring items as described in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 225-20 (or any successor pronouncement thereto) and/or in management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations appearing in Summit Inc.’s annual report to stockholders for the applicable year; (6) acquisitions or divestitures; (7) any other specific, unusual or nonrecurring events, or objectively determinable category thereof; (8) foreign exchange gains and losses; (9) discontinued operations and nonrecurring charges; (10) a change in Summit Inc.’s fiscal year; (11) accruals for payments to be made in respect of the Omnibus Incentive Plan or other specified compensation arrangements; and (12) any other changes in capital structure (or similar events) specified in the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Following the completion of a performance period, the Committee will review and certify in writing whether, and to what extent, the performance goals for the performance period have been achieved and, if so, calculate and certify in writing that amount of the performance compensation awards earned for the period based

151

upon the performance formula. In determining the actual amount of an individual participant’s performance compensation award for a performance period, the Committee has the discretion to reduce or eliminate the amount of the performance compensation award consistent with Section 162(m) of the Code. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, the Committee does not have the discretion to: (A) grant or provide payment in respect of performance compensation awards for a performance period if the performance goals for such performance period have not been attained; or (B) increase a performance compensation award above the applicable limitations set forth in the Omnibus Incentive Plan.

Effect of Certain Events on Omnibus Incentive Plan and Awards

In the event of (a) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Class A common stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock or other securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transactions or events (including, without limitation, a change in control as defined in the Omnibus Incentive Plan) that affects the shares of Class A common stock, or (b) unusual or nonrecurring events (including, without limitation, a change in control) affecting Summit Inc., any affiliate or the financial statements of Summit Inc. or any affiliate, or changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements of any governmental body or securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system, accounting principles or law, such that in either case an adjustment is determined by the Committee in its sole discretion to be necessary or appropriate, then the Committee must make any such adjustments in such manner as it may deem equitable, including, without limitation, any or all of: (i) adjusting any or all of (A) the share limits applicable under the Omnibus Incentive Plan with respect to the number of awards which may be granted thereunder, (B) the number of shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock or other securities which may be delivered in respect of awards or with respect to which awards may be granted under the Omnibus Incentive Plan and (C) the terms of any outstanding award, including, without limitation, (1) the number of shares of Class A common stock subject to outstanding awards or to which outstanding awards relate, (2) the exercise price or strike price with respect to any award or (3) any applicable performance measures; (ii) providing for a substitution or assumption of awards, accelerating the exercisability of, lapse of restrictions on, or termination of awards or providing for a period of time for participants to exercise outstanding awards prior to the occurrence of such event; and (iii) cancelling any one or more outstanding awards and causing to be paid to the holders holding vested awards (including any awards that would vest as a result of the occurrence of such event but for such cancellation) the value of such awards, if any, as determined by the Committee (which if applicable may be based upon the price per share of Class A common stock received or to be received by other holders of Summit Inc.’s common stock in such event), including without limitation, in the case of options and stock appreciation rights, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Class A common stock subject to the option or stock appreciation right over the aggregate exercise price or strike price thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, the Committee may cancel any stock option or stock appreciation right for no consideration if the fair market value of the shares subject to such option or stock appreciation right is less than or equal to the aggregate exercise price or strike price of such stock option or stock appreciation right.

Nontransferability of Awards

An award will not be transferable or assignable by a participant, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and, except for designation of beneficiaries, any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance will be void and unenforceable against Summit Inc. or any affiliate. However, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit awards (other than incentive stock options) to be transferred, including transfers to a participant’s family members, any trust established solely for the benefit of a participant or such participant’s family members, any partnership or limited liability company of which a participant or such participant’s family members are the sole partner(s) or member(s), and a beneficiary to whom donations are eligible to be treated as “charitable contributions” for tax purposes.

152

Amendment and Termination

The board of directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue or terminate the Omnibus Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time; provided, that no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation or termination may be made without stockholder approval if (1) such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory requirement applicable to the Omnibus Incentive Plan, any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which Summit Inc.’s securities may be listed or quoted or for changes in U.S. GAAP to new accounting standards, (2) it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the Omnibus Incentive Plan (except for adjustments in connection with certain corporate events), or (3) it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the Omnibus Incentive Plan; provided, further, that any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award shall not to that extent be effective without such individual’s consent. The Committee may also, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any award granted or the associated award agreement, whether prospectively or retroactively, subject to the consent of the affected participant if any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant with respect to such award; provided, further, that without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted in the Omnibus Incentive Plan, (1) no amendment or modification may reduce the exercise price of any option or the strike price of any stock appreciation right, (2) the Committee may not cancel any outstanding option or stock appreciation right and replace it with a new option or stock appreciation right (with a lower exercise price or strike price, as the case may be) or other award or cash payment that is greater than the value of the cancelled option or stock appreciation right, and (3) the Committee may not take any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our securities are listed or quoted.

Dividends and Dividend Equivalents

The Committee in its sole discretion may provide part of an award with dividends or dividend equivalents, on such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; provided, that no dividends or dividend equivalents shall be payable in respect of outstanding (1) options or stock appreciation rights or (2) unearned performance compensation awards or other unearned awards subject to performance conditions (other than or in addition to the passage of time and other than awards structured as restricted stock) (although dividends or dividend equivalents may be accumulated in respect of unearned awards and paid within 15 days after such awards are earned and become earned, payable or distributable).

Clawback/Forfeiture

An award agreement may provide that the Committee may in its sole discretion cancel such award if the participant, while employed by or providing services to Summit Inc. or any affiliate or after termination of such employment or service, violates a non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disclosure covenant or agreement or otherwise has engaged in or engages in other detrimental activity that is in conflict with or adverse to the interests of any affiliate, including fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion. The Committee may also provide in an award agreement that if the participant otherwise has engaged in or engages in any activity referred to in the preceding sentence, the participant will forfeit any gain realized on the vesting or exercise of such award and must repay the gain to Summit Inc. The Committee may also provide in an award agreement that if the participant receives any amount in excess of what the participant should have received under the terms of the award for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), then the participant shall be required to repay any such excess amount to Summit Inc. Without limiting the foregoing, all awards shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

Exchange Agreement

In connection with the IPO, Summit Inc. entered into an exchange agreement with the holders of LP Units pursuant to which each holder of LP Units (and certain permitted transferees thereof) may, from and after March 17, 2016 (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement) exchange their LP Units for shares of Class A common stock of Summit Inc. on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Blackstone is generally permitted to exchange LP Units at any time. The exchange agreement also provides that a holder of LP Units will not have the right to exchange LP Units if Summit Inc. determines that such exchange would be prohibited by law or regulation or would violate other agreements with Summit Inc. or its subsidiaries to which such holder may be subject. Summit Inc. may impose additional restrictions on exchange that it determines to be necessary or advisable so that Summit Holdings is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a holder exchanges LP Units for shares of Class A common stock, the number of LP Units held by Summit Inc. is correspondingly increased as it acquires the exchanged LP Units. In accordance with the exchange agreement, any holder other than Summit Owner Holdco LLC (“Summit Owner Holdco”) who surrenders all of its LP Units for exchange must concurrently surrender all shares of Class B common stock held by it (including fractions thereof) to Summit Inc. For so long as affiliates of Blackstone collectively own at least 5% of the outstanding LP Units (excluding LP Units held by Summit Inc.), the consent of each Blackstone holder will be required to amend the exchange agreement.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the IPO, Summit Inc. entered into a registration rights agreement with its pre-IPO owners and the Former CCC Minority Holders pursuant to which Summit Inc. granted them, their affiliates and certain of their transferees the right, under certain circumstances and subject to certain restrictions, to require Summit Inc. to register under the Securities Act the offering of shares of Class A common stock delivered in exchange for LP Units. Under the registration rights agreement, Summit Inc. agreed to register the exchange of LP Units for shares of Class A common stock by its pre-IPO owners. In addition, Blackstone has the right to request an unlimited number of “demand” registrations, the Former CCC Minority Holders have the right to request one “demand” registration and Blackstone, certain other pre-IPO owners and the Former CCC Minority Holders have customary “piggyback” registration rights.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the IPO, Summit Inc. entered into a tax receivable agreement with the holders of LP Units and certain other indirect pre-IPO owners that hold interests in entities (the “Investor Entities”) that provides for the payment by Summit Inc. to exchanging holders of LP Units and such other owners of 85% of the cash savings in income tax, if any, that Summit Inc. realizes as a result of (i) the increases in tax basis resulting from exchanges and (ii) its utilization of certain net operating losses of the Investor Entities and certain other tax benefits related to entering into the tax receivable agreement, including tax benefits attributable to payments under the tax receivable agreement. This payment obligation is an obligation of Summit Inc. and not of Summit Materials. Summit Inc. expects to benefit from the remaining 15% of cash savings, if any, in income tax it realizes. For purposes of the tax receivable agreement, the cash savings in income tax are computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of Summit Inc. (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that Summit Inc. would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of Summit Holdings as a result of the exchanges and no utilization of net operating losses of the Investor Entities and had Summit Inc. not entered into the tax receivable agreement. The term of the tax receivable agreement continues until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless Summit Inc. exercises its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement for an amount based on the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement or Summit Inc. breaches any of its material obligations under the tax receivable agreement in which case all obligations generally will be accelerated and due as if Summit Inc. had exercised its right to terminate the tax receivable agreement. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the

157

tax receivable agreement is by its nature imprecise, insofar as the calculation of amounts payable depends on a variety of factors. The increases in tax basis as a result of an exchange, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the tax receivable agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors.

Stockholders’ Agreement

In connection with the IPO, Summit Inc. entered into a stockholders’ agreement with Blackstone. This agreement requires Summit Inc. to, among other things, nominate a number of individuals designated by Blackstone for election as Summit Inc.’s directors at any meeting of Summit Inc.’s stockholders (each a “Sponsor Director”) such that, upon the election of each such individual, and each other individual nominated by or at the direction of Summit Inc.’s board of directors or a duly-authorized committee of the board, as a director of Summit Inc., the number of Sponsor Directors serving as directors of Summit Inc. is equal to: (1) if the pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 50% of the shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of Summit Inc.’s directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is greater than 50% of the total number of directors comprising Summit Inc.’s board of directors; (2) if the pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 40% (but less than 50%) of the shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of Summit Inc.’s directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 40% of the total number of directors comprising Summit Inc.’s board of directors; (3) if the pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 30% (but less than 40%) of the total shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of Summit Inc.’s directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 30% of the total number of directors comprising Summit Inc.’s board of directors; (4) if the pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 20% (but less than 30%) of the total shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of Summit Inc.’s directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 20% of the total number of directors comprising Summit Inc.’s board of directors; and (5) if the pre-IPO owners and their affiliates together continue to beneficially own at least 5% (but less than 20%) of the total shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of Summit Inc.’s directors as of the record date for such meeting, the lowest whole number that is at least 10% of the total number of directors comprising Summit Inc.’s board of directors. For so long as the stockholders’ agreement remains in effect, Sponsor Directors may be removed only with the consent of Blackstone. In the case of a vacancy on Summit Inc.’s board created by the removal or resignation of a Sponsor Director, the stockholders’ agreement requires Summit Inc. to nominate an individual designated by our Sponsor for election to fill the vacancy. The above-described provisions of the stockholders’ agreement will remain in effect until Blackstone is no longer entitled to nominate a Sponsor Director pursuant to the stockholders’ agreement, unless Blackstone requests that it terminate at an earlier date.

The stockholders’ agreement also: (1) requires Summit Inc. to cooperate with Blackstone in connection with certain future pledges, hypothecations or grants of security interest in any or all of the shares of Class A common stock or LP Units held by Blackstone, including to banks or financial institutions as collateral or security for loans, advances or extensions of credit; and (2) entitles the Investor Entities to require Summit Inc. to implement either (x) the contribution of interests in the Investor Entities for an aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock that is equal to the number of LP Units held by such Investor Entity along with any rights holders of interests in the Investor Entity are entitled to under the tax receivable agreement following such contribution or (y) the merger of the applicable Investor Entity into Summit Inc. with Summit Inc. surviving in exchange for a number of shares of Class A common stock that is equal to the number of LP Units along with any rights holders of interests in the Investor Entity are entitled to under the tax receivable agreement following such contribution.

Limited Partnership Agreement of Summit Holdings

Summit Inc. holds LP Units in Summit Holdings and is the sole general partner of Summit Holdings. Accordingly, Summit Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Summit Holdings and, through Summit Holdings and its operating entity subsidiaries, conducts our business.

158

Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings, Summit Inc. has the right to determine when distributions will be made to holders of LP Units and the amount of any such distributions. If a distribution is authorized, such distribution will be made to the holders of LP Units pro rata in accordance with the percentages of their respective limited partnership interests.

No distributions will be made in respect of unvested LP Units and instead such amounts will be distributed to holders of vested LP Units pro rata in accordance with their vested interests. If, from time to time, an unvested LP Unit becomes vested, then, on the next distribution date, all amounts that would have been distributed pro rata in respect of that LP Unit if it had been vested on prior distribution dates will be required to be “caught up” in respect of that LP Unit before any distribution is made in respect of other vested LP Units.

The holders of LP Units, including Summit Inc., incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any taxable income of Summit Holdings. The limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings provides for pro rata cash distributions, which we refer to as “tax distributions,” to the holders of the LP Units in an amount generally calculated to provide each holder of LP Units with sufficient cash to cover its tax liability in respect of the LP Units. These tax distributions are generally only paid to the extent that other distributions made by Summit Holdings were otherwise insufficient to cover the estimated tax liabilities of all holders of LP Units. In general, these tax distributions are computed based on Summit Inc.’s estimate of the net taxable income of Summit Holdings allocated to each holder of LP Units multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (or a corporate resident in certain circumstances). During the nine months ended September 26, 2015, Summit Holdings paid a total of $26.4 million in tax distributions to the holders of LP Units on a pro rata basis. This payment included $13.5 million with respect to LP Units held by Summit Inc. and $12.9 million with respect to LP Units held by our directors and executive officers.

The limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings also provides that affiliates of Blackstone may transfer all or any portion of their LP Units or other interest in Summit Holdings without the prior consent of Summit Inc. as the general partner, subject to compliance with certain conditions, including that Summit Holdings not become a publicly traded partnership.

Summit Inc. as the general partner may (i) at any time, require all holders of LP Units, other than affiliates of Blackstone, to exchange their units for shares of Summit Inc.’s common stock or (ii) with the consent of partners in Summit Holdings whose vested interests exceed 66 2/3% of the aggregate vested interests in Summit Holdings, require all holders of interests in Summit Holdings to transfer their interests, provided that the prior written consent of each holder that is an affiliate of Blackstone affected by any such proposed transfer will be required. These provisions are designed to ensure that the general partner can, in the context of a sale of Summit Holdings, sell Summit Holdings as a wholly-owned entity subject to the approval of the holders thereof, including specific approval by any Blackstone affiliates then holding such units.

Contribution and Purchase Agreement

Pursuant to a contribution and purchase agreement, dated December 18, 2014, among Summit Inc., Summit Holdings, Summit Materials Holdings GP, Ltd. (“Summit GP”), Summit Owner Holdco, the Former CCC Minority Holders and Continental Cement, concurrently with the consummation of Summit Inc.’s IPO (v) the Former CCC Minority Holders contributed 28,571,429 of the Class B Units of Continental Cement to Summit Owner Holdco in exchange for Series A Units of Summit Owner Holdco, (w) Summit GP, as the existing general partner of Summit Holdings contributed to Summit Owner Holdco its right to act as the general partner of Summit Holdings in exchange for Series B Units of Summit Owner Holdco, (x) Summit Owner Holdco in turn contributed the Class B Units of Continental Cement to us in exchange for shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock and contributed to Summit Inc. its right to act as the general partner of Summit Holdings in exchange for shares of Summit Inc.’s Class B common stock, (y) Summit Inc. in turn contributed the Class B Units of Continental Cement Summit Inc. received to Summit Holdings in exchange for LP Units and (z) the Former CCC Minority Holders delivered the remaining 71,428,571 Class B Units of Continental Cement to

159

Summit Holdings in exchange for a payment made by Summit Holdings in March 2015 in the amount of $35.0 million in cash and $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-interest bearing notes that are payable in six aggregate annual installments, beginning on March 17, 2016, of $2.5 million. As a result of the foregoing transactions, Summit Owner Holdco holds 1,029,183 shares of Class A common stock, and Continental Cement became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Summit Materials on March 17, 2015.

Indemnification Agreements

Summit Inc. has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. These agreements require Summit Inc. to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law against liabilities that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors or executive officers, Summit Inc. has been informed that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy and is therefore unenforceable.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding involving any of Summit Inc.’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Transaction and Management Fee Agreement

Under the terms of a transaction and management fee agreement between Summit Holdings and BMP, an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P., BMP provided monitoring, advisory and consulting services to Summit Holdings through March 17, 2015.

In consideration for these services, Summit Holdings paid BMP a management fee equal to the greater of $300,000 or 2.0% of Summit Holdings consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the transaction and management fee agreement, for the immediately preceding fiscal year. Under the transaction and management fee agreement, for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, Summit Holdings paid BMP management fees of $2.3 million, $4.5 million, $2.6 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In addition, Summit Holdings incurred management fees totaling $0.9 million due to BMP during the period between December 28, 2014 and March 17, 2015. During this period, the Company paid immaterial amounts to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to other equity investors.

In addition, under the terms of the transaction and management fee agreement, BMP undertook financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advisory services and negotiation assistance related to acquisitions for which Summit Holdings paid BMP transaction fees equal to 1.0% of the aggregate enterprise value of any acquired entity or, if such transaction was structured as an asset purchase or sale, 1.0% of the consideration paid for or received in respect of the assets acquired or disposed of. In addition, Summit Holdings agreed to indemnify BMP and its affiliates against liabilities relating to the services contemplated by the transaction and management fee agreement and reimburse BMP and its affiliates for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing such services.

Under the terms of the agreement, BMP was permitted to assign, and had assigned, a portion of the fees it was entitled to receive from Summit Holdings to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain members of management. During the year ended December 27, 2014, we paid BMP $3.9 million under this agreement and paid immaterial amounts to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to other equity holders. Transaction fees paid in 2013 or 2012 to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to our other equity holders were immaterial.

In connection with the IPO of Summit Inc., the transaction and management fee agreement with BMP was terminated on March 17, 2015 for a final payment of $13.8 million, $13.4 million was paid to affiliates of Blackstone and the remaining $0.4 million was paid to affiliates of Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain other equity investors.

160

Warrant Issuances

In connection with the modification of the capital structure of Summit Holdings, Summit Inc. issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 160,333 shares of Class A common stock to limited partners of Summit Holdings who held Class C limited partnership interests of Summit Holdings. Holders of the Class C limited partnership interests include Thomas W. Hill, a limited liability company controlled by Ted A. Gardner and Michael J. Brady, who received warrants to purchase 29,463, 27,408, and 6,852 shares of Class A common stock, respectively. The warrants were issued in substitution for part of the economic benefit of the Class C interests that was not reflected in the conversion of the Class C interests to LP Units. The exercise price of the warrants is equal to the IPO price of $18.00 per share. The warrants will not be exercisable until March 17, 2016.

Commercial Transactions with Sponsor Portfolio Companies

Our Sponsors and their respective affiliates have ownership interests in a broad range of companies. We have entered and may in the future enter into commercial transactions in the ordinary course of our business with some of these companies, including the sale of goods and services and the purchase of goods and services. None of these transactions or arrangements has been or is expected to be material to us.

Other Transactions

On July 17, 2015, Continental Cement purchased the Davenport Assets from Lafarge for a purchase price of $450.0 million in cash and a cement distribution terminal in Bettendorf, Iowa. At closing, $370.0 million of the purchase price was paid, and the remaining $80.0 million was paid on August 13, 2015. Summit Holdings entered into a commitment letter dated April 16, 2015, with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. (“BCP”) for equity financing up to $90.0 million in the form of a preferred equity interest (the “Equity Commitment Financing”), which would have been used to pay the $80.0 million deferred purchase price if other financing was not attained by December 31, 2015. For this Equity Commitment Financing, Summit Holdings paid a $1.8 million commitment fee to BCP in the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

Such pre-IPO owners received approximately $462.8 million in the aggregate, and Summit Inc.’s directors and executive officers participating in the August 2015 Follow-on Offering received net proceeds in connection with their sale of LP Units in the following amounts: Ms. Benedict $165,758, Mr. Gill $100,426, Mr. Harris $2,496,951, Mr. Hill $6,166,774, Mr. Lance $747,298, Mr. Damian Murphy $887,429 and Mr. Rauh $641,147.

In the year ended December 27, 2014, we sold certain assets associated with the production of concrete blocks, including inventory and equipment, to a related party for $2.2 million and sold a ready-mixed concrete plant to a related party in exchange for the related party performing the required site reclamation, estimated at approximately $0.2 million.

We purchased equipment from a former noncontrolling member of Continental Cement for approximately $2.3 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of interest, in 2011, which was paid for in 2012.

We earned revenue of $0.6 million and $7.9 million and incurred costs of $0.2 million and $0.2 million in connection with several transactions with unconsolidated affiliates for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. As of December 28, 2013, accounts receivable from these affiliates was $0.4 million. As of and during the year ended December 27, 2014, the Company had no accounts receivable from these affiliates and an immaterial amount of revenue.

Cement sales to companies owned by a former noncontrolling member of Continental Cement were approximately $1.4 million during the period between December 28, 2014 and March 11, 2015 and $10.9 million, $14.3 million, $12.7 million and $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and accounts receivables due from these parties were approximately $1.2 million and $0.2 million as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

In connection with the consummation of the Davenport Acquisition on July 17, 2015, we, Summit Materials Intermediate Holdings, LLC and certain of our subsidiaries entered into a restatement agreement with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, collateral agent, L/C issuer and swingline lender (the “Restatement Agreement”), amending and restating the existing credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities (such credit agreement, as amended by the Restatement Agreement, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”).

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for a term loan facility in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million (the term loan and revolving credit facility, collectively, the “senior secured credit facilities”). The revolving credit facility includes capacity available for letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice. The full amount of the term loan was drawn at closing and used to repay the prior term loan and to finance part of the initial cash purchase price of the Davenport Acquisition.

The senior secured credit facilities include an uncommitted incremental facility that allow us the option to increase the amount available under the term loan facility and/or the revolving credit facility by (i) $150.6 million, net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit and (ii) an additional amount so long as we are in pro forma compliance with a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of no greater than 3.75:1.00 (excluding revolving credit loans borrowed for seasonal working capital requirements in an amount not to exceed $75.0 million). Availability of such incremental facilities is subject to, among other conditions, the absence of an event of default and the receipt of commitments by existing or additional financial institutions.

Interest Rate and Fees

Borrowings under the senior secured credit facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either (i) a base rate (subject to a base rate floor of 2.00% in the case of the term loan facility) determined by reference to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the eurocurrency rate plus 1.00% or (ii) the eurocurrency rate (subject to a eurocurrency rate floor of 1.00% in the case of the term loan facility) determined by reference to the applicable Bloomberg screen page two business days prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs. The applicable margin for the term loan facility is 3.25% in the case of eurocurrency rate loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans and will be subject to one 25 basis point step-down upon our attaining a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.25: 1.00. The applicable margin on the revolving credit facility is 3.25% in the case of eurocurrency rate loans and 2.25% in the case of base rate loans and is subject to one 25 basis point step-down upon our attaining a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio of 2.25:1.00.

In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the amended and restated senior secured credit facilities, we are required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the revolving credit facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. We are also required to pay customary letter of credit and agency fees.

Mandatory Prepayments

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us to prepay outstanding term debt, subject to certain exceptions, with: (i) commencing with the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016, 50% (which percentage will be reduced to 25% and 0% upon our attaining certain consolidated first lien net leverage ratios) of our annual excess cash flow less the principal amount of certain debt prepayments; (ii) 100% of the net proceeds from certain asset sales and casualty and condemnation proceeds, subject to certain threshold amounts of net proceeds and, if no default exists, to a 100% reinvestment right if reinvested or committed to be reinvested within 12 months of receipt so long as any committed reinvestment is actively reinvested within 18 months of receipt; and (iii) 100%

163

of the net proceeds from issuances or incurrence of certain debt, other than proceeds from debt permitted to be incurred under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. We will apply the foregoing mandatory prepayments to the term debt in direct order of maturity.

Voluntary Prepayments

We may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the senior secured credit facilities at any time without premium or penalty; provided that voluntary prepayments of eurocurrency rate loans made on a date other than the last day of an interest period applicable thereto shall be subject to customary breakage costs.

In addition, with respect to certain repricings or refinancings of the term loan facility within six months after July 17, 2015, we will be required to pay a fee equal to 1.0% of the principal amount of the term loan facility that is repriced or refinanced.

Amortization and Final Maturity

We are required to make scheduled quarterly payments each equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the term loan facility made on July 17, 2015, with the balance due on the seventh anniversary of July 17, 2015. We are required to make any scheduled payments under the revolving credit facility. The principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility will be due and payable on March 11, 2020.

Guarantee and Security

All obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by Summit Materials Intermediate Holdings, LLC, our immediate parent entity, and each of our existing and future direct or indirect wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries (other than certain immaterial subsidiaries, subsidiaries that are precluded by law, regulation or contractual obligation from guaranteeing the obligations and certain subsidiaries excluded via customary exceptions) (collectively, the “Credit Agreement Guarantors”).

All obligations under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and the guarantees of those obligations, will be secured by substantially all of the following assets of ours and each subsidiary that is a Credit Agreement Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions: (i) a pledge of 100% of our capital stock and 100% of the capital stock of each material domestic restricted subsidiary that is directly owned by us or one of the subsidiary Credit Agreement Guarantors, promissory notes and any other instruments evidencing indebtedness owned by Summit Materials or one of the subsidiary Credit Agreement Guarantors and 65% of the capital stock of each wholly-owned first-tier foreign subsidiary that is, in each case, directly owned by us or one of the subsidiary Credit Agreement Guarantors; and (ii) a security interest in, and mortgages on, substantially all tangible and intangible assets (above a materiality threshold in the case of mortgages) of ours and each subsidiary Credit Agreement Guarantor.

Certain Covenants and Events of Default

Our senior secured credit facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to:

• incur additional indebtedness or guarantees;

• create liens on assets;

• change its fiscal year;

• enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

• engage in mergers or consolidations;

• sell assets;

164

• pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

• make investments, loans or advances;

• repay subordinated indebtedness;

• make certain acquisitions;

• engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and

• change its lines of business.

In addition, the senior secured credit facilities require us to maintain a maximum first lien net leverage ratio.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default (including, among others, an event of default upon a change of control). If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the senior secured credit facilities will be entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the senior secured credit facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor.

2020 Notes

On January 30, 2012, we issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due January 31, 2020. On January 17, 2014 and September 8, 2014, we issued an additional $260.0 million and $115.0 million aggregate principal amount, respectively, of 2020 notes. In April 2015, $288.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 2020 notes were redeemed with a portion of the proceeds from Summit Inc.’s IPO and we redeemed an additional $183.0 million in aggregate principal amount in August 2015. On November 19, 2015, we deposited with the trustee under the indenture governing the 2020 notes, funds sufficient to redeem all remaining $153.8 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 notes on December 7, 2015. Upon deposit of the redemption payment with the trustee, the indenture governing the 2020 notes was satisfied and discharged.

Existing Notes

On July 8, 2015, the Issuers issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes due July 15, 2023. The existing notes bear interest at a rate of 6.125% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15. The Issuers’ obligations under the existing notes are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by all of Summit Materials’ existing and future wholly-owned domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its senior secured credit facilities.

At any time prior to July 15, 2018, the Issuers may redeem some or all of the existing notes at a redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus the applicable premium as of the redemption date under the terms of the indenture and accrued and unpaid interest. The redemption price during each of the twelve-month periods following July 15, 2018 is 103.063%, 101.531% and 100.000% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, respectively.

Upon the occurrence of a change of control or upon the sale of certain assets in which the Issuers do not apply the proceeds as required, the holders of the existing notes will have the right to require the Issuers to make an offer to repurchase each holder’s existing notes at a price equal to 101% (in the case of a change of control) or 100% (in the case of an asset sale) of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The existing notes contain covenants limiting, among other things, Summit Materials’ and the guarantor subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of Summit Materials’ assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The existing notes also contain customary events of default.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

General

Certain terms used in this description are defined under the subheading “—Certain Definitions.” In this description, (1) the term “Issuer” refers to Summit Materials, LLC, and not to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (2) the term “Co-Issuer” refers to Summit Materials Finance Corp., an indirect Subsidiary of the Issuer and not to any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; (3) the term “Issuers” refers, collectively, to the Issuer and the Co-Issuer; and (4) the terms “we,” “our” and “us” each refer to the Issuer and its consolidated Subsidiaries.

The Issuers issued $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “Outstanding Notes”) under an existing indenture dated July 8, 2015 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”) among the Issuers, the Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).The Issuers previously issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023 under the Indenture on July 8, 2015 (the “Existing Notes”). The Outstanding Notes and the Existing Notes were issued in private transactions that were not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The exchange notes offered hereby will be treated as a single series with the Outstanding Notes and the Existing Notes and will have substantially the same terms. The terms of the exchange notes to be issued in the exchange offer for such notes are substantially identical to the Outstanding Notes and the Existing Notes, except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and additional interest provision relating to the Outstanding Notes will not apply to the exchange notes. However, until the Outstanding Notes are registered and exchanged for exchange notes, or the Outstanding Notes are otherwise freely tradeable and the restrictive legend has been removed therefrom, the Existing Notes will have a different CUSIP number or numbers than that of the Outstanding Notes, which may adversely affect the liquidity of the Outstanding Notes and cause such notes to trade at different prices than the Existing Notes. In this section, unless the context requires otherwise, reference to “Notes” are to the Outstanding Notes and the Existing Notes, together with the exchange notes offered hereby that are to be exchanged for the Outstanding Notes. Except as set forth herein, the terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

The following description is only a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of the Indenture, including the definitions therein of certain terms used below. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as Holders of the Notes. You may request copies of the Indenture at our address set forth under “Prospectus Summary—Corporate Information.”

The Issuers are jointly and severally liable for all obligations under the Notes. The Co-Issuer is an indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Issuer that has been incorporated in Delaware as a special purpose finance subsidiary to facilitate the offering of the Notes and other debt securities of the Issuer. We believe that some prospective purchasers of the Notes may be restricted in their ability to purchase debt securities of partnerships or limited liability companies, such as the Issuer, unless the securities are jointly issued by a corporation. The Co-Issuer does not have any substantial operations or assets and does not have any revenues. Accordingly, you should not expect the Co-Issuer to participate in servicing the principal and interest obligations on the Notes.

Brief Description of the Notes

The Notes:

• are general, unsecured, senior obligations of the Issuers;

• rank equally in right of payment with any existing and future Senior Indebtedness of the Issuers;

• are effectively subordinated to any existing and future Secured Indebtedness of the Issuers, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Secured Indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities;

166

• are senior in right of payment to any future obligations of the Issuers that are expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes; and

• are structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness, claims of holders of Preferred Stock and other liabilities of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes.

Guarantees

The Guarantors, as primary obligors and not merely as sureties, jointly and severally guarantee, fully and unconditionally, on an unsecured senior basis, the performance and full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all obligations of the Issuers under the Indenture and the Notes, whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Notes or expenses, indemnification or otherwise, on the terms set forth in the Indenture by executing the Indenture.

In the future, certain additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Issuer, other than the Co-Issuer, any Foreign Subsidiary or any Securitization Subsidiary, that guarantee certain Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor will guarantee the Notes, subject to certain exceptions and subject to release and discharge as described in this “Description of the Notes.”

Each of the Guarantees:

• is a general, unsecured, senior obligation of each Guarantor;

• ranks equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior Indebtedness of that Guarantor;

• is effectively subordinated to any existing and future secured Indebtedness of that Guarantor that is secured to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Secured Indebtedness, including the Senior Secured Credit Facilities;

• is senior in right of payment to any future Indebtedness of that Guarantor that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Guarantee of that Guarantor; and

• is structurally subordinated to all existing and future Indebtedness, claims of holder of Preferred Stock and other liabilities of Subsidiaries of each Guarantor that do not Guarantee the Notes.

As of September 26, 2015, after giving effect to the Transactions:

• the Issuers and the Guarantors would have had total indebtedness of $1,407.0 million, none of which would have been subordinated, and $710.0 million of senior secured indebtedness outstanding, consisting entirely of borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities and excluding $47.0 million of capital lease and other obligations; and

• the Issuer would have had $150.6 million of availability to incur additional secured indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, after giving effect to approximately $24.4 million of issued but undrawn letters of credit.

Our non-guarantor Subsidiaries collectively represented approximately 7.0% of our total assets as of December 27, 2014 and approximately 6.0% of our consolidated total revenues for the year ended December 27, 2014. As of September 26, 2015, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries had no indebtedness outstanding other than intercompany debt.

All of our Subsidiaries are “Restricted Subsidiaries” unless designated as Unrestricted Subsidiaries in accordance with the Indenture. As of the date of this prospectus, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under certain circumstances, we are permitted to designate certain of our existing and future subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” Any Unrestricted Subsidiaries are not subject to any of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture and will not guarantee the Notes.

167

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding of any of these non-guarantor Subsidiaries, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Issuer or a Guarantor. As a result, all of the existing and future liabilities of our non-guarantor Subsidiaries, including any claims of trade creditors, are effectively senior to the Notes. The Indenture does not limit the amount of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness which may be incurred by the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries, including the non-guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Guarantee are limited as necessary to prevent the Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance under applicable law. This provision may not, however, be effective to protect a Guarantee from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce the applicable Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its Guarantee worthless. If a Guarantee were rendered voidable, it could be subordinated by a court to all other indebtedness (including guarantees and other contingent liabilities) of the Guarantor, and, depending on the amount of such indebtedness, a Guarantor’s liability on its Guarantee could be reduced to zero. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and the Exchange Notes—Federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the exchange notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the exchange notes and the guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received and, if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the exchange notes.”

Any Guarantor that makes a payment under its Guarantee is entitled upon payment in full of all guaranteed obligations under the Indenture to a contribution from each other Guarantor in an amount equal to such other Guarantor’s pro rata portion of such payment based on the respective net assets of all the Guarantors at the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.

Each Guarantor may consolidate with, amalgamate or merge with or into or sell all or substantially all its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor without limitation or any other Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture. See “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets.”

Each Guarantee by a Guarantor provides by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon:

(1) (a) any sale, exchange, disposition or transfer (by merger, amalgamation, consolidation, dividend, distribution or otherwise) of (i) the Capital Stock of such Guarantor, after which the applicable Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor, in each case if such sale, exchange, disposition or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

(b) the release or discharge of the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or the release or discharge of such other guarantee that resulted in the creation of such Guarantee, except a discharge or release by or as a result of payment under such guarantee (it being understood that a release subject to a contingent reinstatement will constitute a release for the purposes of this provision, and that if any such Guarantee is so reinstated, such Guarantee shall also be reinstated to the extent that such Guarantor would then be required to provide a Guarantee pursuant to the covenant described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries”);

(c) the designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture;

(d) the merger or consolidation of any Guarantor with and into the Issuer or another Guarantor or upon the liquidation of such Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to the Issuer or another Guarantor; or

(e) the exercise by the Issuers of their legal defeasance option or covenant defeasance option as described under “—Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance” or the discharge of the Issuers’ obligations under the Indenture in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and

168

(2) such Guarantor delivering to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate of such Guarantor or the Issuer and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for in the Indenture relating to such transaction or release and discharge have been complied with.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Issuers previously issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of Existing Notes in a private transaction that was not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. All $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of the privately placed Existing Notes were subsequently exchanged for substantially identical notes that were registered under the Securities Act and therefore are freely tradable. The Notes will mature on July 15, 2023.

Subject to compliance with the covenants described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” the Issuers may issue additional Notes (“Additional Notes”) from time to time under the Indenture;provided that if any Additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such Additional Notes will have separate CUSIP and ISIN numbers.All Notes including the Outstanding Notes, the Existing Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “Notes” for all purposes of the Indenture and this “Description of the Notes” include any Additional Notes that are actually issued. The Outstanding Notes constitute Additional Notes under the Indenture.

The Notes will be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Interest on the Notes accrues at the rate of 6.125% per annum. Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15, commencing January 15, 2016 to the Holders of Notes of record on the immediately preceding January 1 and July 1, respectively. Interest on the Notes accrues from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from and including the Issue Date. Interest on the Notes is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest

Cash payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes are payable at the office or agency of the Issuers maintained for such purpose (the “paying agent”) or, at the option of the Issuers, cash payment of interest may be made through the paying agent by check mailed to the Holders of the Notes at their respective addresses set forth in the register of Holders;provided, that (a) all cash payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to the Notes represented by one or more global notes registered in the name of or held by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee are made through the paying agent by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the registered Holder or Holders thereof and (b) all cash payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to certificated Notes may, at the option of the Issuers, be made by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if the applicable Holder elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Trustee or the paying agent to such effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee may accept in its discretion). Until otherwise designated by the Issuers, the Issuers’ office or agency is the office of the Trustee maintained for such purpose.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

The Issuers will maintain one or more paying agents for the Notes. The initial paying agent for the Notes is the Trustee.

169

The Issuers will also maintain one or more registrars and a transfer agent. The initial registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Notes is the Trustee. The registrar will maintain a register reflecting ownership of the Notes outstanding from time to time. The paying agent will make payments on, and the transfer agent will facilitate transfer of, the Notes on behalf of the Issuers.

The Issuers may change the paying agent, the registrar or the transfer agent without prior notice to the Holders. The Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries may act as a paying agent, registrar or transfer agent.

If any Notes are listed on an exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, the Issuers will satisfy any requirement of such exchange as to paying agents, registrars and transfer agents and will comply with any notice requirements required under such exchange in connection with any change of paying agent, registrar or transfer agent.

Transfer and Exchange

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Issuers and the transfer agent are not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption or tendered (and not withdrawn) for repurchase in connection with a Change of Control Offer or an Asset Sale Offer. Also, the Issuers and the transfer agent are not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed. The registered Holder of a Note will be treated as the owner of the Note for all purposes.

Compliance with Trust Indenture Act

The Trust Indenture Act will become applicable to the Indenture upon the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act, which will occur at such time as the Notes have been registered under the Securities Act.

Mandatory Redemption; Offers to Purchase; Open Market Purchases

The Issuers are not required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking fund payment with respect to the Notes. However, under certain circumstances, the Issuers may be required to offer to purchase Notes as described under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders.” The Issuers, the Investors and their respective Affiliates may, at their discretion, at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market, pursuant to tender offers or otherwise.

Optional Redemption

Except as set forth below, the Issuers are not entitled to redeem the Notes at their option prior to July 15, 2018. At any time prior to July 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem all or a part of the Notes, upon notice as described under “—Selection and Notice,” at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium as of, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date.

On and after July 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, upon notice as described under “—Selection and Notice,” at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid

170

interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the applicable Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each of the years indicated below:

Year	Redemption Price
2018		103.063	%
2019		101.531	%
2020 and thereafter		100.000	%

In addition, prior to July 15, 2018, the Issuers may, at their option and on one or more occasions, redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price equal to 106.125% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, subject to the right of Holders of Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the Redemption Date, with the net cash proceeds received by it from one or more Equity Offerings or a contribution to the Issuer’s common equity capital made with the net cash proceeds of an Equity Offering;provided, that (a) at least 50% of (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued under the Indenture on the Issue Date and (B) the aggregate principal amount of any Additional Notes issued under the Indenture after the Issue Date remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of each such redemption; and (b) each such redemption occurs within 180 days of the date of closing of each such Equity Offering.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any tender offer for the Notes, if Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in such tender offer and the Issuers, or any third party making such tender offer in lieu of the Issuers, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuer or such third party will have the right upon not less than 15 nor more than 60 days’ prior notice, given not more than 30 days following such purchase date, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase at a price equal to the price offered to each other Holder in such tender offer plus, to the extent not included in the tender offer payment, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to, but excluding, the purchase date.

Notice of any redemption, whether in connection with an Equity Offering, other transaction or otherwise, may be given prior to the completion thereof, and any such redemption or notice may, at the Issuers’ discretion, be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering or other transaction. In addition, if such redemption is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the redemption date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption date, or by the redemption date so delayed. In addition, the Issuers may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption price and performance of the Issuers’ obligations with respect to such redemption may be performed by another Person. The Issuers, the Investors and their respective Affiliates may acquire the Notes by means other than a redemption, whether by tender offer, open market purchases, negotiated transactions or otherwise.

Selection and Notice

If the Issuers are redeeming less than all of the Notes issued under the Indenture at any time, the Trustee will select the Notes to be redeemed (a) if the Notes are listed on an exchange (and the Trustee so knows of such listing), in compliance with the requirements of such exchange or (b) on a pro rata basis to the extent practicable, or, if the pro rata basis is not practicable for any reason by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and otherwise in accordance with applicable procedures of DTC in minimum denominations of $1,000 and increments of $1,000 in excess thereof. No Notes of $2,000 or less can be redeemed in part.

171

Notices of redemption shall be delivered electronically or mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes at such Holder’s registered address or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC, except that redemption notices may be delivered more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. If any Note is to be redeemed in part only, any notice of redemption that relates to such Note shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof that has been or is to be redeemed.

With respect to Notes represented by certificated notes, the Issuers will issue a new Note in a principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Note in the name of the Holder upon cancellation of the original Note;provided, that new Notes will only be issued in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples in excess thereof. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption, unless such redemption is conditioned on the happening of a future event. On and after the Redemption Date, interest ceases to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

The Indenture provides that if a Change of Control occurs, unless the Issuers have previously or concurrently sent a redemption notice with respect to all the outstanding Notes as described under “—Optional Redemption,” the Issuers will make an offer to purchase all of the Notes pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a price in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, subject to the right of Holders of the Notes of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date falling prior to or on the purchase date. Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Issuers will send notice of such Change of Control Offer electronically or by first-class mail, with a copy to the Trustee, to each Holder of Notes to the address of such Holder appearing in the security register or otherwise in accordance with the procedures of DTC with the following information:

(1) that a Change of Control Offer is being made pursuant to the covenant entitled “Change of Control,” and that all Notes properly tendered pursuant to such Change of Control Offer will be accepted for payment by the Issuers;

(2) the purchase price and the purchase date, which will be no earlier than 15 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), except in the case of a conditional Change of Control Offer made in advance of a Change of Control as described below;

(3) that any Note not properly tendered will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest;

(4) that unless the Issuers default in the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all Notes accepted for payment pursuant to the Change of Control Offer will cease to accrue interest on the Change of Control Payment Date;

(5) that Holders electing to have any Notes purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer will be required to surrender such Notes, with the form entitled “Option of Holder to Elect Purchase” on the reverse of such Notes completed, to the paying agent specified in the notice at the address specified in the notice prior to the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date;

(6) that Holders will be entitled to withdraw their tendered Notes and their election to require the Issuer to purchase such Notes;provided that the paying agent receives, not later than the close of business on the second Business Day prior to the Change of Control Payment Date, a facsimile transmission or letter setting forth the name of the Holder of the Notes, the principal amount of Notes tendered for purchase, and a statement that such Holder is withdrawing its tendered Notes, or a specified portion thereof, and its election to have such Notes purchased;

172

(7) that Holders whose Notes are being purchased only in part will be issued new Notes and such new Notes will be equal in principal amount to the unpurchased portion of the Notes surrendered. The unpurchased portion of the Notes must be equal to at least $2,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;

(8) if such notice is delivered prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control, stating that the Change of Control Offer is conditional on the occurrence of such Change of Control and shall describe each such condition, and, if applicable, shall state that, in the Issuers’ discretion, the Change of Control Payment Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or that such repurchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the Change of Control Payment Date, or by the Change of Control Payment Date as so delayed; and

(9) any other instructions, as determined by the Issuer, consistent with this Change of Control covenant, that a Holder must follow.

The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Issuers will, to the extent permitted by law:

(1) accept for payment all Notes issued by them or portions thereof properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with a paying agent an amount equal to the aggregate Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions thereof so tendered; and

(3) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee for cancellation the Notes so accepted together with an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee stating that such Notes or portions thereof have been tendered to and purchased by the Issuers.

The Senior Secured Credit Facilities provide, and future credit agreements or other agreements relating to Indebtedness to which the Issuers become parties may provide, that certain change of control events with respect to the Issuers would constitute a default thereunder (including a Change of Control under the Indenture). If we experience a change of control that triggers a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any such future Indebtedness, we could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or such future Indebtedness. In the event we do not obtain such a waiver or do not refinance the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or such future Indebtedness, such default could result in amounts outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or such future Indebtedness being declared due and payable.

Our ability to pay cash to the Holders of Notes following the occurrence of a Change of Control may be limited by our then-existing financial resources. Therefore, sufficient funds may not be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.

The Change of Control purchase feature of the Notes may in certain circumstances make more difficult or discourage a sale or takeover of us and, thus, the removal of incumbent management. We have no present intention to engage in a transaction involving a Change of Control, although it is possible that we could decide to do so in the future. Subject to the limitations discussed below, we could, in the future, enter into certain transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings or other recapitalizations, that would not constitute a Change of Control under the Indenture, but that could increase the amount of Indebtedness outstanding at such time or otherwise affect our capital structure or credit ratings. Restrictions on our ability to incur additional Indebtedness

173

are contained in the covenants described under “—Certain Covenants—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” and “—Certain Covenants—Liens.” Such restrictions in the Indenture can be waived only with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes. Except for the limitations contained in such covenants, however, the Indenture does not contain any covenants or provisions that may afford Holders of the Notes protection in the event of a highly leveraged transaction.

The Issuers will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Issuer and purchases all Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn under such Change of Control Offer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control, conditional upon such Change of Control, if a definitive agreement is in place for the Change of Control at the time of making of the Change of Control Offer.

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to certain Persons. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the assets of the Issuer and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of Notes may require the Issuers to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as described above.

The provisions under the Indenture relating to the Issuers’ obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of a Change of Control may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes.

If Holders of not less than 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender and do not withdraw such Notes in a Change of Control Offer and the Issuer, or any third party making a Change of Control offer in lieu of the Issuer as described above, purchases all of the Notes validly tendered and not withdrawn by such Holders, the Issuers or such third party will have the right, upon not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days’ prior notice,providedthat such notice is given not more than 30 days following such purchase pursuant to the Change of Control Offer described above, to redeem all Notes that remain outstanding following such purchase on a date (the “Second Change of Control Payment Date”) at a price in cash equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of the Second Change of Control Payment Date.

Asset Sales

The Indenture provides that the Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale, unless:

(1) the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Issuer at the time of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale) of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(2) except in the case of a Permitted Asset Swap, at least 75.0% of the consideration for such Asset Sale, together with all other Asset Sales since the Issue Date (on a cumulative basis), received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, is in the form of Cash Equivalents;provided that the amount of:

(a) any liabilities (as shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto or, if incurred or increased subsequent to the date of such balance sheet, such liabilities that would have been shown on the Issuer’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s

174

balance sheet or in the footnotes thereto if such incurrence or increase had taken place on or prior to the date of such balance sheet, as determined by the Issuer) of the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Notes, that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a written agreement which releases or indemnifies the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such liabilities;

(b) any securities, notes or other obligations or assets received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary into Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of such Asset Sale; and

(c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed the greater of (i) $60.0 million and (ii) 2.5% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value,

shall be deemed to be Cash Equivalents for purposes of this provision and for no other purpose.

Within 450 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds of any Asset Sale, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary, at its option, may apply the Net Proceeds from such Asset Sale,

(1) to permanently reduce Indebtedness as follows:

(a) Obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(b) Obligations under Secured Indebtedness which is secured by a Lien that is permitted by the Indenture, and to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto;

(c) Obligations under the Notes or any other Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary (and, in the case of other Senior Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce any outstanding commitments with respect thereto, if applicable);provided that if the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary shall so repay any Senior Indebtedness other than the Notes, the Issuer will either (A) reduce Obligations under the Notes on a pro rata basis by, at its option, (i) redeeming Notes as described under “—Optional Redemption” or (ii) purchasing Notes through open-market purchases, or (B) make an offer (in accordance with the procedures set forth below for an Asset Sale Offer) to all Holders to purchase their Notes on a ratable basis with such other Senior Indebtedness for no less than 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus the amount of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon up to the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased; or

(d) if the assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale are the property or assets of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, to permanently reduce Indebtedness of (i) a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary, or (ii) the Issuer or a Guarantor; or

(2) to make (a) an Investment in any one or more businesses,provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) capital expenditures or (c) acquisitions of other assets, in each of (a), (b) and (c), used or useful in a Similar Business; or

(3) to make an Investment in (a) any one or more businesses,provided that such Investment in any business is in the form of the acquisition of Capital Stock and results in the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, as the case may be, owning an amount of the Capital Stock of such business such that it constitutes a Restricted Subsidiary, (b) properties or (c) acquisitions of other assets that, in each of (a), (b) and (c), replace the businesses, properties and/or assets that are the subject of such Asset Sale;

175

provided, that in the case of clauses (2) and (3) above, a binding commitment entered into not later than such 450th day shall be treated as a permitted application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Issuer, or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such NetProceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within the later of such 450th day and 180 days of such commitment (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before the Net Proceeds are applied in connection therewith, the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into another Acceptable Commitment (a “Second Commitment”) within 180 days of such cancellation or termination;provided further that if any Second Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such Net Proceeds are applied, then such Net Proceeds shall constitute Excess Proceeds.

Any Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale that are not invested or applied as provided and within the time period set forth in the preceding paragraph will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $40.0 million, the Issuers shall make an offer (an “Asset SaleOffer”) to all Holders of the Notes and, if required by the terms of any Indebtedness that rankspari passu with the Notes (“Pari Passu Indebtedness”), to the holders of such Pari Passu Indebtedness, to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness that is in an amount equal to at least $2,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price, in the case of the Notes, in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (or accreted value thereof, if less), plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date fixed for the closing of such offer, and in the case of any Pari Passu Indebtedness, at the offer price required by the terms thereof but not to exceed 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture and the agreement governing such Pari Passu Indebtedness. The Issuers will commence an Asset Sale Offer with respect to Excess Proceeds within ten Business Days after the date that Excess Proceeds exceed $40.0 million by delivering to the Holders the notice required pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, with a copy to the Trustee. The Issuers may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the relevant 450 days (or such longer period provided above) or with respect to Excess Proceeds of $40.0 million or less.

To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Issuers may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for any purposes not otherwise prohibited under the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of the Notes or the Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, surrendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Issuers shall purchase the Notes and such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, tendered with adjustments as necessary so that no Notes or Pari Passu Indebtedness, as the case may be, will be repurchased in part in an unauthorized denomination. Upon completion of any such Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds that resulted in the requirement to make an Asset Sale Offer shall be reset to zero (regardless of whether there are any remaining Excess Proceeds upon such completion). Additionally, the Issuers may, at their option, make an Asset Sale Offer using the proceeds from any Asset Sale at any time after the consummation of such Asset Sale. Upon consummation or expiration of any Asset Sale Offer, any remaining Net Proceeds shall not be deemed Excess Proceeds and the Issuers may use such Net Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited under the Indenture.

Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds pursuant to this covenant, the holder of such Net Proceeds may apply such Net Proceeds temporarily to reduce Indebtedness outstanding under a revolving credit facility, including under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, or otherwise invest such Net Proceeds in any manner not prohibited by the Indenture.

The Issuers will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent such laws or regulations are applicable in connection with

176

the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the provisions of the Indenture, the Issuers will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and shall not be deemed to have breached their obligations described in the Indenture by virtue thereof.

The provisions under the Indenture relative to the Issuers’ obligation to make an offer to repurchase the Notes as a result of an Asset Sale may be waived or modified with the written consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes.

Our future credit agreements or other similar agreements to which the Issuers become parties may contain restrictions on the Issuers’ ability to repurchase Notes. In the event an Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Issuers are prohibited from purchasing Notes, the Issuers could seek the consent of their lenders to the repurchase of Notes or could attempt to refinance the borrowings that contain such prohibition. If the Issuers do not obtain such consent or repay such borrowings, the Issuers will remain prohibited from repurchasing Notes. In such a case, the Issuers’ failure to repurchase tendered Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture which would, in turn, likely constitute a default under such other agreements.

Certain Covenants

Set forth below are summaries of certain covenants contained in the Indenture that apply to the Issuers and the Issuers’ Restricted Subsidiaries.

If on any date following the Issue Date (i) the Notes have an Investment Grade Rating from both Rating Agencies and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing under the Indenture (the occurrence of the events described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as a “Covenant Suspension Event” and the date thereof being referred to as the “Suspension Date”), then, the covenants specifically listed under the following captions in this “Description of the Notes” section of this prospectus will no longer be applicable to the Notes (collectively, the “Suspended Covenants”) until the occurrence of the Reversion Date (as defined below):

(1) “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Asset Sales”;

(2) “—Limitation on Restricted Payments”;

(3) “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”;

(4) clause (4) of the first paragraph of “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets”;

(5) “—Transactions with Affiliates”;

(6) “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries”; and

(7) “—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries.”

During any period that the foregoing covenants have been suspended, the Issuer may not designate any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries.

If and while the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants, the Notes will be entitled to substantially less covenant protection. In the event that the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries are not subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture for any period of time as a result of the foregoing, and on any subsequent date (the “Reversion Date”) one or both of the Rating Agencies withdraw their Investment Grade Rating or downgrade the rating assigned to the Notes below an Investment Grade Rating, then the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will thereafter again be subject to the Suspended Covenants under the Indenture with respect to future events. The period of time between the Suspension Date and the Reversion Date is referred to in this description as the “Suspension Period.” Additionally, upon the occurrence of a Covenant Suspension Event, the amount of Excess Proceeds from any Asset Sales shall be reset to zero.

177

During the Suspension Period, the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries will be entitled to incur Liens to the extent provided for under “—Liens” (including, without limitation, Permitted Liens) to the extent provided for in such covenant and any Permitted Liens which may refer to one or more Suspended Covenants shall be interpreted as though such applicable Suspended Covenant(s) continued to be applicable during the Suspension Period (but solely for purposes of the “—Liens” covenant and for no other covenant).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such reinstatement, no action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries prior to such reinstatement will give rise to a Default or Event of Default under the Indenture with respect to the Notes, and no Default or Event of Default will be deemed to exist or have occurred as a result of any failure by the Issuers or any Restricted Subsidiary to comply with any of the Suspended Covenants during the Suspension Period;provided, that (1) with respect to Restricted Payments made after such reinstatement, the amount available to be made as Restricted Payments will be calculated as though the covenant described above under the caption “—Limitation on Restricted Payments” had been in effect prior to, but not during, the Suspension Period; and (2) all Indebtedness incurred, or Disqualified Stock issued, during the Suspension Period will be classified to have been incurred or issued pursuant to clause (3) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”; (3) any Affiliate Transaction entered into after such reinstatement pursuant to an agreement entered into during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (5) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Transactions with Affiliates”; (4) any encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to take any action described in clauses (1) through (3) of the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries” that becomes effective during any Suspension Period shall be deemed to be permitted pursuant to clause (a) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries”; and (5) no Subsidiary of the Issuer shall be required to comply with the covenant described under “—Limitation on Guarantees of Indebtedness by Restricted Subsidiaries” after such reinstatement with respect to any guarantee entered into by such Subsidiary during any Suspension Period.

There can be no assurance that the Notes will ever achieve or maintain Investment Grade Rating.

The Issuers shall provide an Officer’s Certificate to the Trustee indicating the occurrence of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date. The Trustee will have no obligation to (i) independently determine or verify if such events have occurred, (ii) make any determination regarding the impact of actions taken during the Suspension Period on the Issuer and its Subsidiaries’ future compliance with their covenants or (iii) notify the holders of any Covenant Suspension Event or Reversion Date.

Financial Calculations for Limited Condition Acquisitions

When calculating the availability under any basket or ratio under the Indenture, in each case in connection with a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such basket or ratio and of any Default or Event of Default may, at the option of the Issuers, be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into and such baskets or ratios shall be calculated with such pro forma adjustments as are appropriate and consistent with the pro forma adjustment provisions set forth in the definition of Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable period for purposes of determining the ability to consummate any such Limited Condition Acquisition (and not for purposes of any subsequent availability of any basket or ratio), and, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such baskets or ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such basket or ratio (including due to fluctuations in EBITDA of the Issuer or the target company) subsequent to such date of determination and at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is

178

permitted under the Indenture and (y) such baskets or ratios shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related transactions;provided,further, that if the Issuers elect to have such determinations occur at the time of entry into such definitive agreement, any such transactions (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred on the date the definitive agreements are entered and outstanding thereafter for purposes of calculating any baskets or ratios under the Indenture after the date of such agreement and before the consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition.

Limitation on Restricted Payments

The Issuer will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(I) declare or pay any dividend or make any payment or distribution on account of the Issuer’s, or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries’ Equity Interests (in each case, solely to a holder of Equity Interests in such Person’s capacity as a holder of such Equity Interests), including any dividend, payment or distribution payable in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation other than:

(a) dividends and distributions by the Issuer payable solely in Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) of the Issuer or in options, warrants or other rights to purchase such Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock); or

(b) dividends and distributions by a Restricted Subsidiary so long as, in the case of any dividend, payment or distribution payable on or in respect of any class or series of securities issued by a Restricted Subsidiary other than a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary receives at least its pro rata share of such dividend, payment or distribution in accordance with its Equity Interests in such class or series of securities;

(II) purchase, redeem, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value any Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer, including any purchase, redemption, defeasance, acquisition or retirement in connection with any merger, amalgamation or consolidation;

(III) make any principal payment on, or redeem, repurchase, defease or otherwise acquire or retire for value, in each case, prior to any scheduled repayment, sinking fund payment or maturity, any Subordinated Indebtedness, other than:

(a) Indebtedness permitted under clauses (7), (8) and (9) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”; or

(b) the purchase, repurchase or other acquisition of Subordinated Indebtedness purchased in anticipation of satisfying a sinking fund obligation, principal installment or final maturity, in each case due within one year of the date of purchase, repurchase or acquisition; or

(IV) make any Restricted Investment (all such payments and other actions set forth in clauses (I) through (IV) above (other than any exceptions thereto) being collectively referred to as “Restricted Payments”), unless, at the time of such Restricted Payment:

(1) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction on a pro forma basis, the Issuer could incur $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described under “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” (the “Fixed Charge Coverage Test”); and

(3) such Restricted Payment, together with the aggregate amount of all other Restricted Payments made by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries after the Issue Date (including Restricted Payments permitted by clauses (1), 6(c), (9) and (14) of the next succeeding paragraph (to the extent not deducted in calculating

179

Consolidated Net Income), but excluding all other Restricted Payments permitted by the next succeeding paragraph), is less than the sum of (without duplication):

(a) 50% of the Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer for the period (taken as one accounting period and including the predecessor of the Issuer) beginning on June 28, 2015 to the end of the Issuer’s most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available at the time of such Restricted Payment, or, in the case such Consolidated Net Income for such period is a deficit, minus 100% of such deficit; plus

(b) 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds and the fair market value of marketable securities or other property received by the Issuer since immediately after the Issue Date (other than net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (12)(a) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock”) from the issue or sale of:

(i) (A) Equity Interests of the Issuer, including Treasury Capital Stock (as defined below), but excluding cash proceeds and the fair market value of marketable securities or other property received from the sale of:

(x) Equity Interests to any future, present or former employees, directors, officers, managers or consultants (or their respective Controlled Investment Affiliates or Immediate Family Members) of the Issuer, any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer or any of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries after the Issue Date to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph; and

(y) Designated Preferred Stock; and

(B) to the extent such net cash proceeds are actually contributed to the Issuer, Equity Interests of any of the Issuer’s direct or indirect parent companies (excluding contributions of the proceeds from the sale of Designated Preferred Stock of any such companies or contributions to the extent such amounts have been applied to Restricted Payments made in accordance with clause (4) of the next succeeding paragraph); or

(ii) Indebtedness of the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary that has been converted into or exchanged for such Equity Interests of the Issuer;

provided, that this clause (b) shall not include the proceeds from (W) Refunding Capital Stock (as defined below) applied in accordance with clause (2) of the next succeeding paragraph, (X) Equity Interests or convertible debt securities of the Issuer sold to a Restricted Subsidiary, (Y) Disqualified Stock or debt securities that have been converted into Disqualified Stock or (Z) Excluded Contributions; plus

(c) 100% of the aggregate amount of cash and the fair market value of marketable securities or other property contributed to the capital of the Issuer following the Issue Date (other than (i) net cash proceeds to the extent such net cash proceeds have been used to incur Indebtedness or issue Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock pursuant to clause (12)(a) of the second paragraph of “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock,” (ii) contributions by a Restricted Subsidiary and (iii) any Excluded Contributions); plus

180

(ii) the sale (other than to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) of the stock of an Unrestricted Subsidiary or a dividend or distribution (other than an Excluded Contribution) from an Unrestricted Subsidiary (other than, in each case, to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (7) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment), in each case, after the Issue Date; plus

(e) in the case of the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or the merger, amalgamation or consolidation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary into the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary or the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary after the Issue Date, the fair market value (as determined by the Issuer in good faith) of the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary (or the assets transferred) at the time of the redesignation of such Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Restricted Subsidiary or at the time of such merger, amalgamation, consolidation or transfer of assets, other than to the extent the Investment in such Unrestricted Subsidiary was made by the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to clause (7) of the next succeeding paragraph or to the extent such Investment constituted a Permitted Investment.

The foregoing provisions will not prohibit:

(1) the payment of any dividend or other distribution or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of the dividend or other distribution or the giving of the redemption notice, as the case may be, if at the date of declaration or notice, the dividend or other distribution or redemption payment would have complied with the provisions of the Indenture;

(2) (a) the redemption, repurchase, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of any Equity Interests (“Treasury Capital Stock”), including any accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, or Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiary or any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer, in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Restricted Subsidiary) of, Equity Interests of the Issuer or any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer to the extent contributed to the Issuer (in each case, other than any Disqualified Stock) (“Refunding Capital Stock”), (b) the declaration and payment of dividends on Treasury Capital Stock out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale or issuance (other than to a Subsidiary of the Issuer or to an employee stock ownership plan or any trust established by the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries) of Refunding Capital Stock, and (c) if, immediately prior to the retirement of Treasury Capital Stock, the declaration and payment of dividends thereon was permitted under clauses (6)(a) or (b) of this paragraph, the declaration and payment of dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock (other than Refunding Capital Stock the proceeds of which were used to redeem, repurchase, retire or otherwise acquire any Equity Interests of any direct or indirect parent company of the Issuer) in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that were declarable and payable on such Treasury Capital Stock immediately prior to such retirement;

(3) the prepayment, defeasance, redemption, repurchase, exchange or other acquisition or retirement (a) of Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuers or a Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, new Indebtedness of the Issuers or a Guarantor or Disqualified Stock of the Issuers or a Guarantor or (b) Disqualified Stock of the Issuers or a Guarantor made by exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent sale of, Disqualified Stock of the Issuers or a Guarantor, that, in each case, is incurred or issued, as applicable, in compliance with “—Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock” so long as:

(a) the principal amount (or accreted value, if applicable) of such new Indebtedness or the liquidation preference of such new Disqualified Stock does not exceed the principal amount of (or accreted value, if applicable), plus any accrued and unpaid interest on, the Subordinated Indebtedness or the liquidation preference of, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends on, the Disqualified Stock

181

being so prepaid, defeased, redeemed, repurchased, exchanged, acquired or retired for value, plus the amount of any premium (including tender premium) required to be paid under the terms of the instrument governing the Subordinated Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock being so defeased, redeemed, repurchased, exchanged, acquired or retired, defeasance costs and any fees and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance of such new Indebtedness or Disqualified Stock;

The “Tax Amount,” calculated for the period beginning on the start of a relevant taxable year, through the end of the applicable quarter, is the Highest Partner Tax Amount divided by the Total Percentage Interest for the Partner described in the immediately following sentence. The “Highest Partner Tax Amount” is, with respect to the Partner receiving the greatest allocation of estimated net taxable income pursuant to the Partnership Agreement as of March 17, 2015 (relative to its Total Percentage Interest) in the applicable time period, (A) the estimated aggregate taxable income of Summit Holdings (calculated assuming the tax items

184

attributable to the Issuer are the only tax items of Summit Holdings) allocated to such Partner in such time period (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any adjustments under Section 743(b) of the Code), multiplied by (B) the Assumed Tax Rate; provided, however, that for any period beginning after both (i) the date on which no Blackstone Limited Partner holds Units and (ii) the earlier of (A) the date on which all Units outstanding as of March 17, 2015 have become vested (without taking into account any service-based vesting requirements) or (B) June 30, 2020 (the later of the dates under (i) and (ii) above, the “Trigger Date”), the calculation of Highest Partner Tax Amount shall be made with reference to Summit Inc.

(g) to finance Investments that would otherwise be permitted to be made pursuant to this covenant if made by the Issuer;provided, that (A) such Restricted Payment shall be made substantially concurrently with the closing of such Investment, (B) such direct or indirect parent company shall, immediately following the closing thereof, cause (1) all property acquired (whether assets or Equity Interests) to be contributed to the capital of the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries or (2) the merger or amalgamation of the Person formed or acquired into the Issuer or one of its Restricted Subsidiaries (to the extent not prohibited by the covenant described under the caption “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets” below) in order to consummate such Investment, (C) such direct or indirect parent company and its Affiliates (other than the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary) receives no consideration or other payment in connection with such transaction except to the extent the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary could have given such consideration or made such payment in compliance with the Indenture, (D) any property received by the Issuer shall not increase amounts available for Restricted Payments pursuant to clause (3) of the preceding paragraph and (E) such Investment shall be deemed to be made by the Issuer or such Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to another provision of this covenant (other than pursuant to clause (10) hereof) or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments” (other than clause (9) thereof); and

185

(h) amounts that would be permitted to be paid by the Issuer under clauses (3), (6), (7), (11), (12) and (15) of the covenant described under “—Transactions with Affiliates”;provided, that the amount of any dividend or distribution under this clause (15)(i) to permit such payment shall reduce, without duplication, Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer to the extent, if any, that such payment would have reduced Consolidated Net Income of the Issuer if such payment had been made directly by the Issuer and increase (or, without duplication of any reduction of Consolidated Net Income, decrease) EBITDA to the extent, if any, that Consolidated Net Income is reduced under this clause (15)(i) and such payment would have been added back to (or, to the extent excluded from Consolidated Net Income, would have been deducted from) EBITDA if such payment had been made directly by the Issuer, in each case, in the period such payment is made; and

(16) the distribution, by dividend or otherwise, of shares of Capital Stock of, or Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary by Unrestricted Subsidiaries (other than Unrestricted Subsidiaries the primary assets of which are cash and/or Cash Equivalents);

provided, that at the time of, and after giving effect to, any Restricted Payment permitted under clause (11)(ii) above, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or would occur as a consequence thereof.

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant, in the event that a proposed Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) meets the criteria of clauses (1) through (16) above or is entitled to be made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer will be entitled to classify or later reclassify (based on circumstances existing on the date of such reclassification) such Restricted Payment (or a portion thereof) between such clauses (1) through (16) and such first paragraph in any manner that otherwise complies with this covenant.

As of the date of this prospectus, all of the Issuer’s Subsidiaries are Restricted Subsidiaries. The Issuer will not permit any Unrestricted Subsidiary to become a Restricted Subsidiary except pursuant to the penultimate sentence of the definition of “Unrestricted Subsidiary.” For purposes of designating any Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, all outstanding Investments by the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries (except to the extent repaid) in the Subsidiary so designated will be deemed to be Restricted Payments in an amount determined as set forth in the penultimate sentence of the definition of “Investments.” Such designation will be permitted only if a Restricted Payment in such amount would be permitted at such time, pursuant to this covenant or pursuant to the definition of “Permitted Investments,” and if such Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to any of the restrictive covenants set forth in the Indenture. For the avoidance of doubt, this covenant shall not restrict the making of any “AHYDO catch-up payment” with respect to, and required by the terms of, any Indebtedness of the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred under the terms of the Indenture.

Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock

186

1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of such four-quarter period;provided that the then outstanding aggregate principal amount of Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock that may be incurred or issued, as applicable, pursuant to the foregoing, together with any amounts incurred under clauses (12) and (23) of the following paragraph (plus any refinancing indebtedness in respect thereof) by Restricted Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors shall not exceed the greater of (x) $115.0 million and (y) 5.0% of Total Assets (in each case, determined on the date of such incurrence).

(25) Indebtedness of Foreign Subsidiaries of the Issuer in an amount not to exceed, at any one time outstanding and together with any other Indebtedness incurred under this clause (25), 10.0% of the total assets of the Foreign Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as shown on the Issuer’s most recent balance sheet (it being understood that any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (25) shall cease to be deemed incurred or outstanding for purposes of this clause (25) but shall be deemed incurred for the purposes of the first paragraph of this covenant from and after the first date on which the Issuer or its Restricted Subsidiaries could have incurred such Indebtedness under the first paragraph of this covenant without reliance on this clause (25)).

For purposes of determining compliance with this covenant:

(1) in the event that an item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories of permitted Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock described in clauses (1) through (25) above or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Issuer, in its sole discretion, may classify or reclassify such item of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock (or any portion thereof) and will only be required to include the amount and type of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock in one of the above clauses or under the first paragraph of this covenant;provided, that all Indebtedness represented by term loans outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities on the Issue Date will be treated as incurred on the Issue Date under clause (1) of the second paragraph above; and

(2) the Issuer will be entitled to divide and classify an item of Indebtedness in more than one of the types of Indebtedness described in the first and second paragraphs above.

Accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion of accreted value, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount and the payment of interest or dividends in the form of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the same class will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock for purposes of this covenant. Any Refinancing Indebtedness and any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under the Indenture to refinance Indebtedness incurred pursuant to clauses (1) and (12)(b) above shall be deemed to include additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock incurred to pay premiums (including reasonable tender premiums), defeasance costs, fees and expenses in connection with such refinancing.

For purposes of determining compliance with any U.S. dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Indebtedness, the U.S. Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency shall be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Indebtedness was incurred, in the case of term debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit debt;provided, that if such Indebtedness is incurred to refinance other Indebtedness denominated in a foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable U.S. dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, such U.S. dollar-denominated restriction shall be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of such refinancing Indebtedness does not exceed (a) the principal amount of such Indebtedness being refinanced plus (b) the aggregate amount of fees, underwriting discounts, premiums (including tender premiums) and other costs and expenses (including original issue discount, upfront fees or similar fees) incurred in connection with such refinancing.

191

The principal amount of any Indebtedness incurred to refinance other Indebtedness, if incurred in a different currency from the Indebtedness being refinanced, shall be calculated based on the currency exchange rate applicable to the currencies in which such respective Indebtedness is denominated that is in effect on the date of such refinancing.

The Indenture provides that the Issuer does not, and does not permit the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, incur any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) that is contractually subordinated or junior in right of payment to any Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be, unless such Indebtedness is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Guarantor’s Guarantee to the extent and in the same manner as such Indebtedness is subordinated to other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or such Guarantor, as the case may be.

The Indenture does not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to Secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured or (2) Indebtedness as subordinated or junior to any other Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral or because it is guaranteed by other obligors.

Liens

The Issuer will not, and will not permit the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien (except Permitted Liens) that secures Obligations under any Indebtedness or any related guarantee of Indebtedness, on any asset or property of the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor, or any income or profits therefrom, or assign or convey any right to receive income therefrom, unless:

(1) in the case of Liens securing Subordinated Indebtedness, the Notes and related Guarantees are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and

(2) in all other cases, the Notes or the Guarantees are equally and ratably secured,

except that the foregoing shall not apply to or restrict Liens securing obligations in respect of the Notes and the related guarantees.

Any Lien created for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes pursuant to this covenant shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) above.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets

The Issuer. The Issuer may not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Issuer is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

(1) the Issuer is the surviving Person or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation, amalgamation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made, is a Person organized or existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of organization of the Issuer or the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or any territory thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the “Successor Company”);provided, that in the case where the surviving Person is not a corporation, a co-obligor of the Notes is a corporation;

(1) any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate or amalgamate with or merge with or into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Issuer or a Guarantor; and

(2) the Issuer may merge with an Affiliate of the Issuer solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Issuer in the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof so long as the amount of Indebtedness of the Issuer and its Restricted Subsidiaries is not increased thereby.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this covenant will not apply to the Transactions.

Co-Issuer. The Co-Issuer may not, directly or indirectly, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not the Co-Issuer is the surviving corporation), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Co-Issuer’s properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person, unless:

(1) (a) concurrently therewith, a corporate Wholly-Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof (which may be the continuing Person as a result of such transaction) expressly assumes all the obligations of the Co-Issuer under the Notes pursuant to supplemental indentures or other documents or instruments; or

(b) after giving effect thereto, at least one obligor on the Notes shall be a corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof, the District of Columbia or any territory thereof;

(3) The Co-Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture, if any, comply with the Indenture.

193

Guarantors. Subject to certain limitations described in the Indenture governing release of a Guarantee upon the sale, disposition or transfer of a Guarantor, no Guarantor will, and the Issuer will not permit any Guarantor to, consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this “—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All or Substantially All Assets” covenant, the Issuer may contribute Capital Stock of any or all of its Subsidiaries to any Guarantor.

providing reconciliations of such non-GAAP information to extent included in the Offering Memorandum), (D) comply with Regulation S-X or (E) provide any information that is not otherwise similar to information currently included in the Offering Memorandum.

in each case within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations if the Issuer were a “non-accelerated filer” as defined in the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC,provided, however, that the provisions of this paragraph shall be satisfied if the Issuer files reports containing such information with the SEC within the time periods required by applicable SEC rules and regulations.

If the Issuer does not file reports containing such information with the SEC, then the Issuer will deliver such information and reports to the Trustee and make available such information and such reports to any Holder of theNotes and to any beneficial owner of the Notes, in each case with respect to the Holders and beneficial owners by posting such information on Intralinks or any comparable password-protected online data system which will require a confidentiality acknowledgment, and will make such information readily available to any prospective investor, any securities analyst or any market maker in the Notes who (i) agrees to treat such information as confidential or (ii) accesses such information on Intralinks or any comparable password-protected online data system which will require a confidentiality acknowledgment;provided that the Issuer shall post such information thereon and make readily available any password or other login information to any such prospective investor, securities analyst or market maker.

The Issuer will furnish to Holders of the Notes, securities analysts and prospective investors upon request the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), so long as the Notes are not freely transferable under the Securities Act.

If the Issuer has designated any of its Subsidiaries as an Unrestricted Subsidiary and if any such Unrestricted Subsidiary or group of Unrestricted Subsidiaries, if taken together as one Subsidiary, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary of the Issuer, then the annual and quarterly information required by clause (1) of the first paragraph of this covenant shall include a presentation of selected financial metrics (in the Issuer’s sole discretion) of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries as a group in the “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations.”

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture permits the Issuer to satisfy its obligations in this covenant with respect to financial information relating to the Issuer by furnishing financial information relating to any parent entity of the Issuer;provided that the same is accompanied by selected financial metrics (in the Issuer’s sole discretion) that show the differences between the information relating to such parent, on the one hand, and the information relating to the Issuer and the Restricted Subsidiaries on a stand-alone basis, on the other hand.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Issuer will not be deemed to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (3) under “—Events of Default and Remedies” until 120 days after the receipt of the written notice delivered thereunder.

To the extent any information is not provided within the time periods specified in this section “—Reports and Other Information” and such information is subsequently provided, the Issuer will be deemed to have satisfied its obligations with respect thereto at such time and any Default with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been cured.

Limitation on Business Activities of the Co-Issuer

The Co-Issuer may not hold any assets, become liable for any obligations or engage in any business activities; provided that it may be a co-obligor with respect to the Notes or any other Indebtedness issued by the Issuer, and may engage in any activities related thereto or necessary in connection therewith. The Co-Issuer shall be a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of the Issuer at all times.

200

Events of Default and Remedies

The Indenture provides that each of the following is an “Event of Default”:

(1) default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the Notes;

(2) default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the Notes;

(3) failure by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Guarantor for 60 days after receipt of written notice given by the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with any of its obligations, covenants or agreements (other than a default referred to in clause (1) or (2) above) contained in the Indenture or the Notes;

(4) default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there is issued or by which there is secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Issuer or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, other than Indebtedness owed to the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary, whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the issuance of the Notes, if both:

(a) such default either results from the failure to pay any principal of such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods) or relates to an obligation other than the obligation to pay principal of any such Indebtedness at its stated final maturity and results in the holder or holders of such Indebtedness causing such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity; and

(b) the principal amount of such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness in default for failure to pay principal at stated final maturity (after giving effect to any applicable grace periods), or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregate $60.0 million or more outstanding;

(5) failure by the Issuer, the Co-Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under “—Reports and Other Information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) to pay final judgments aggregating in excess of $60.0 million (net of amounts covered by insurance policies issued by reputable insurance companies), which final judgments remain unpaid, undischarged and unstayed for a period of more than 60 days after such judgment becomes final, and in the event such judgment is covered by insurance, an enforcement proceeding has been commenced by any creditor upon such judgment or decree which is not promptly stayed;

(6) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Issuer or any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under “—Reports and Other Information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary); and

(7) the Guarantee of any Significant Subsidiary (or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end provided as required under “—Reports and Other Information”) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary) shall for any reason cease to be in full force and effect or be declared null and void or any responsible officer of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary (or the responsible officers of any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Issuer for a fiscal quarter end) would constitute a Significant Subsidiary), as the case may be, denies in writing that it has any further liability under its Guarantee or gives written notice to such effect, other than by reason of the termination of the Indenture or the release of any such Guarantee in accordance with the Indenture.

If any Event of Default (other than of a type specified in clause (6) above) occurs and is continuing under the Indenture, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the then

201

outstanding Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal of and premium, if any, and interest will be due and payable immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (6) of the first paragraph of this section, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable without further action or notice. The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold from the Holders notice of any continuing Default, except a Default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest.

The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes, by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any existing Default and its consequences under the Indenture and rescind any acceleration with respect to the Notes and its consequences (except if such rescission would conflict with any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and except a continuing Default in the payment of interest on, premium, if any, or the principal of any Note held by a non-consenting Holder).

In the event of any Event of Default specified in clause (4) of the first paragraph of this section, such Event of Default and all consequences thereof (excluding any resulting payment default, other than as a result of acceleration of the Notes) shall be annulled, waived and rescinded, automatically and without any action by the Trustee or the Holders, if within 30 days after such Event of Default arose:

(1) the Indebtedness or guarantee that is the basis for such Event of Default has been discharged;

(2) the requisite number of holders thereof have rescinded or waived the acceleration, notice or action (as the case may be) giving rise to such Event of Default; or

(3) the default that is the basis for such Event of Default has been cured.

In case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under the Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of the Notes unless the Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal, premium (if any) or interest when due, no Holder of a Note may pursue any remedy with respect to the Indenture or the Notes unless:

(1) such Holder has previously given the Trustee written notice that an Event of Default is continuing;

(2) the Holders of at least 25% in the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes have requested in writing the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3) Holders of the Notes have offered the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense;

(4) the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

(5) the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such written request within such 60-day period.

Subject to certain restrictions contained in the Indenture, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes are given the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. The Trustee, however, may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or the Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder of a Note or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability, and may take any other action that is not inconsistent with any such direction received from Holders of the Notes.

202

The Indenture provides that the Issuer is required to deliver to the Trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture, and the Issuer is required, within 20 Business Days, upon becoming aware of any Default, to deliver to the Trustee a statement specifying such Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner or direct or indirect stockholder of the Issuers or any Guarantor (other than in their capacity as the Issuers or any Guarantor) or of any of their direct or indirect parent companies shall have any liability, for any obligations of the Issuers or the Guarantors under the Notes, the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of such obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting Notes waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. Such waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws and it is the view of the SEC that such a waiver is against public policy.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The obligations of the Issuers and the Guarantors under the Indenture, the Notes or the Guarantees, as the case may be, will terminate (other than certain obligations) and will be released upon payment in full of all of the Notes. The Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have all of their obligations discharged with respect to the Notes and have each Guarantor’s obligation discharged with respect to its Guarantee (“Legal Defeasance”) and cure all then existing Events of Default except for:

(1) the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when such payments are due solely out of the trust created pursuant to the Indenture;

(2) the Issuers’ obligations with respect to Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of such Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee, and the Issuers’ obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition, the Issuers may, at their option and at any time, elect to have their obligations and those of each Guarantor released with respect to substantially all of the restrictive covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including bankruptcy, receivership, rehabilitation and insolvency events pertaining to the Issuers) described under “—Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance with respect to the Notes:

(1) the Issuers shall irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amount as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due on such Notes on the stated maturity date or on the redemption date, as the case may be, of such principal, premium, if any, or interest on such Notes and the Issuer must specify whether such Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit as of the date of redemption (any such amount, the “Applicable Premium Deficit”) only required to

203

be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions,

(a) the Issuer has received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or

(b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable U.S. federal income tax law,

in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than that resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make the deposit required to effect such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness, and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(6) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Issuers with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Issuer or any Guarantor or others; and

(7) the Issuers shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel may be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, have been complied with.

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Notes, when either:

(1) all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered, except lost, stolen or destroyed Notes which have been replaced or paid and Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust, have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(2) (a) all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of redemption or otherwise, will become due and payable within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the

204

giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Issuers, and the Issuers have or any Guarantor has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust solely for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, U.S. Government Securities, or a combination thereof, in such amounts as will be sufficient without consideration of any reinvestment of interest to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on the Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or redemption; provided, that upon any redemption that requires the payment of the Applicable Premium, the amount deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the Indenture to the extent that an amount is deposited with the Trustee equal to the Applicable Premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any Applicable Premium Deficit only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the date of redemption. Any Applicable Premium Deficit shall be set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee simultaneously with the deposit of such Applicable Premium Deficit that confirms that such Applicable Premium Deficit shall be applied toward such redemption;

(b) no Event of Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make such deposit or any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) with respect to the Indenture or the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or shall occur as a result of such deposit and such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities or any other material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Issuers or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Issuers or any Guarantor is bound (other than resulting from any borrowing of funds to be applied to make such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Indebtedness and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(c) the Issuers have paid or caused to be paid all sums payable by them under the Indenture; and

(d) the Issuers have delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to apply the deposited money toward the payment of the Notes at maturity or the redemption date, as the case may be.

In addition, the Issuers must deliver an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the Trustee stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, any Guarantee and the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding, including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes, and any existing Default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes issued thereunder may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes, other than Notes beneficially owned by the Issuers or their Affiliates (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, the Notes).

The Indenture provides that, without the consent of each affected Holder of Notes, an amendment or waiver may not, with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder:

(1) reduce the principal amount of such Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed final maturity of any such Note or alter or waive the provisions with respect to the redemption of such Notes (other than provisions relating to (a) notice periods (to the extent consistent with applicable requirements of clearing and settlement systems) for redemption and conditions to redemption and (b) the covenants described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders”);

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any such Note;

205

(4) waive a Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes, except a rescission of acceleration of such Notes by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes, and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration, or in respect of a covenant or provision contained in the Indenture, the Notes or any Guarantee which cannot be amended or modified without the consent of all affected Holders;

(5) make any such Note payable in money other than that stated therein;

(6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders to receive payments of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on such Notes;

(7) make any change in these amendment and waiver provisions;

(8) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(9) make any change to or modify the ranking of such Notes that would adversely affect the Holders; or

(10) except as expressly permitted by the Indenture, modify the Guarantees of any Significant Subsidiary, or any group of Restricted Subsidiaries that, taken together (as of the latest audited consolidated financial statements for the Issuer), would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, in any manner materially adverse to the Holders of such Notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuers, any Guarantor (with respect to a Guarantee or the Indenture to which it is a party) and the Trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture and any Guarantee or Notes without the consent of any Holder:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes;

(3) to comply with the covenant relating to mergers, amalgamations, consolidations and sales of assets;

(4) to provide for the assumption of the Issuers’ or any Guarantor’s obligations to the Holders;

(5) to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders or that does not materially adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder;

(6) to add covenants for the benefit of the Holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Issuers or any Guarantor;

(7) to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture;

(8) to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(11) to conform the text of the Indenture, Guarantees or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum to the extent that such provision in the “Description of the Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, Guarantee or Notes as provided in an Officer’s Certificate;

(12) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer and legending of Notes as permitted by the Indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the Notes;provided,however, that such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of Holders to transfer Notes;

206

(13) to make any amendment to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the transfer or legending of the Notes; or

(14) to make any other modifications to the Notes or the Indenture of a formal, minor or technical nature or necessary to correct a manifest error, so long as such modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Holders of the Notes in any material respect.

The consent of the Holders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

Notices

Notices given by publication or electronic delivery will be deemed given on the first date on which publication is made and notices given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, will be deemed given five calendar days after mailing or transmitting.

Concerning the Trustee

The Indenture contains certain limitations on the rights of the Trustee thereunder, should it become a creditor of the Issuers, to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The Trustee is permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee (if the Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act) or resign.

The Indenture provides that the Holders of a majority in principal amount of all the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default shall occur (which shall not be cured), the Trustee is required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent person in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holder of the Notes, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer

The Issuers and the guarantors of the outstanding notes and the initial purchasers entered into a registration rights agreement on November 19, 2015, the closing date of the issuance of the outstanding notes (the “Closing Date”). In the registration rights agreement, each of the Issuers and the guarantors of the outstanding notes have agreed that it will, at its expense, for the benefit of the holders of the outstanding notes, (i) file one or more registration statements on an appropriate registration form with respect to a registered offer to exchange the outstanding notes for new notes, guaranteed by the guarantors on a full and unconditional, joint and several senior unsecured basis, with terms substantially identical in all material respects to the outstanding notes and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act. As of the date of this prospectus, $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 6.125% Senior Notes due 2023 is outstanding, and the outstanding notes were issued on November 19, 2015.

Under the circumstances set forth below, the Issuers and the guarantors will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the SEC to declare effective a shelf registration statement with respect to the resale of the outstanding notes within the time periods specified in the registration rights agreement and keep such registration statement effective for up to one year after the effective date of the shelf registration statement. These circumstances include:

• if any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations of the Staff of the SEC do not permit us to effect an exchange offer;

• if an exchange offer is not consummated within the registration period contemplated by the registration rights agreement;

• if, in certain circumstances, certain holders of unregistered exchange notes so request; or

• if in the case of any holder that participates in an exchange offer, such holder does not receive exchange notes on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such holder as an affiliate of ours within the meaning of the Securities Act).

Under the registration rights agreement, if (A) we neither (i) exchanged exchange notes for all notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of an exchange offer nor (ii) if applicable, had a shelf registration statement declared effective under the Securities Act, in either case on or prior to the 270th day after the Closing Date, (B) notwithstanding clause (A), we are required to file a shelf registration statement and such shelf registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 90th day after the delivery of a shelf notice (as defined in the registration rights agreement) with respect thereto (the “Effectiveness Date”) or (C) if applicable, a shelf registration statement has been declared effective and such shelf registration statement ceases to be effective at any time during the effectiveness period (subject to certain exceptions) (each such event referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C), a “Registration Default”), then additional interest (“Additional Interest”) shall accrue on the principal amount of the notes affected thereby at a rate of 0.25% per annum during the 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any Registration Default (which rate will be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such Additional Interest continues to accrue;provided that the rate at which such Additional Interest accrues may in no event exceed 1.00% per annum) (any such Additional Interest to be calculated by us) commencing on (x) the 271st day after the Closing Date (in the case of clause (A) above), (y) the Effectiveness Date (in the case of clause (B) above) or (z) the day on which such shelf registration statement ceases to be effective (in the case of clause (C) above);provided,however, that upon the exchange of exchange notes for all notes tendered (in the case of clause (A)(i) above), upon the effectiveness of the applicable shelf registration statement (in the case of clause (A)(ii) and (B) above) or upon the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (C) above), Additional Interest on such notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant sub-clause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue.

240

If you wish to exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer, you will be required to make the following written representations:

• you are not an affiliate of the Issuers or any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 of the Securities Act;

• you have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the exchange notes in violation of the Securities Act;

• you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes; and

• you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business.

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes, where the broker-dealer acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. Please see “Plan of Distribution.”

Resale of Exchange Notes

Based on interpretations by the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that you may resell or otherwise transfer exchange notes issued in the exchange offer without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:

• you are not an affiliate of the Issuers or any guarantor within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

• you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes;

• you are not engaged in, and do not intend to engage in, a distribution of the exchange notes; and

• you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business.

If you are an affiliate of the Issuers or any guarantor, or are engaging in, or intend to engage in, or have any arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the exchange notes, or are not acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business:

• you cannot rely on the position of the SEC set forth inMorgan Stanley & Co. Inc. (available June 5, 1991) andExxon Capital Holdings Corp. (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling (available July 2, 1993), or similar no-action letters; and

• in the absence of an exception from the position stated immediately above, you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes.

This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, resale or other transfer of exchange notes only as specifically set forth in this prospectus. With regard to broker-dealers, only broker-dealers that acquired the outstanding notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes, where such outstanding notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. Please read “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of exchange notes.

241

Terms of the Exchange Offer

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the accompanying letter of transmittal, the Issuers will accept for exchange in the exchange offer any outstanding notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date. Outstanding notes may only be tendered in a principal amount of $2,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Issuers will issue $1,000 principal amount of exchange notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of outstanding notes surrendered in the exchange offer.

The form and terms of the exchange notes will be identical in all material respects to the form and terms of the outstanding notes except the exchange notes will be registered under the Securities Act, will not bear legends restricting their transfer and will not provide for any additional interest upon failure by the Issuers and the guarantors to fulfill their obligations under the registration rights agreement to complete the exchange offer, or file, and cause to be effective, a shelf registration statement, if required thereby, within the specified time period. The exchange notes will evidence the same debt as the outstanding notes. The exchange notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that governs the terms of the outstanding notes. For a description of the indenture, see “Description of the Notes.”

The exchange offer is not conditioned upon any minimum aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes being tendered for exchange.

This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of outstanding notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of outstanding notes entitled to participate in the exchange offer. The Issuers and the guarantors intend to conduct the exchange offer in accordance with the provisions of the registration rights agreement, the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC. Outstanding notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offer will remain outstanding and continue to accrue interest and will be entitled to the rights and benefits such holders have under the indenture and the registration rights agreement except the Issuers and the guarantors will not have any further obligation to you to provide for the registration of the outstanding notes under the registration rights agreement.

The Issuers will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered outstanding notes when the Issuers have given written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the exchange notes from the Issuers and delivering exchange notes to holders. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Issuers expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to refuse to accept the occurrence of any of the conditions specified below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

If you tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of outstanding notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below in connection with the exchange offer. It is important that you read “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details regarding fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offer.

Expiration Date; Extensions, Amendments

As used in this prospectus, the term “expiration date” means 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on                 , 2016, which is the 21st business day after the date of this prospectus. However, if the Issuers, in their sole discretion, extend the period of time for which the exchange offer is open, the term “expiration date” will mean the latest time and date to which the Issuers shall have extended the expiration of the exchange offer.

To extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open, the Issuers will notify the exchange agent of any extension by written notice, followed by notification by press release or other public announcement

242

to the registered holders of the outstanding notes no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date. The Issuers are generally required to extend the offering period for any material change, including the waiver of a material condition, so that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer after the change.

The Issuers reserve the right, in their sole discretion:

• to delay accepting for exchange any outstanding notes (if the Issuers amend or extend the exchange offer);

• to extend the exchange offer or to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied, by giving written notice of such delay, extension or termination to the exchange agent; and

• subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, to amend the terms of the exchange offer in any manner.

Any delay in acceptance, extension, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by notice to the registered holders of the outstanding notes. If the Issuers amend the exchange offer in a manner that it determines to constitute a material change, the Issuers will promptly disclose the amendment in a manner reasonably calculated to inform the holders of applicable outstanding notes of that amendment.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Despite any other term of the exchange offer, the Issuers will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue exchange notes in exchange for, any outstanding notes and the Issuers may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus prior to the expiration date if in their reasonable judgment:

• the exchange offer or the making of any exchange by a holder violates any applicable law or interpretation of the SEC; or

• any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer that, in their judgment, would reasonably be expected to impair their ability to proceed with the exchange offer.

In addition, the Issuers will not be obligated to accept for exchange the outstanding notes of any holder that has not made to the Issuers:

• the representations described under “—Purpose and Effect of the Exchange Offer,” “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” and “Plan of Distribution;” or

• any other representations as may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations, or interpretations to make available to the Issuers an appropriate form for registration of the exchange notes under the Securities Act.

The Issuers expressly reserve the right at any time or at various times to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, the Issuers may delay acceptance of any outstanding notes by giving written notice of such extension to their holders. The Issuers will return any outstanding notes that the Issuers do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

The Issuers expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any outstanding notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. In addition, the Issuers are generally required to extend the offering period for any material change, including the waiver of a material condition, so that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer after the change. The Issuers will give written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the outstanding notes as promptly as practicable. In the case of any

243

extension, such notice will be issued no later than 9:00 a.m. New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration date.

These conditions are for sole benefit of the Issuers and the Issuers may assert them regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times prior to the expiration date in their sole discretion. If the Issuers fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of such right. Each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that the Issuers may assert at any time or at various times prior to the expiration date.

In addition, the Issuers will not accept for exchange any outstanding notes tendered, and will not issue exchange notes in exchange for any such outstanding notes, if at such time any stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “TIA”).

Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes

To tender your outstanding notes in the exchange offer, you must comply with either of the following:

• complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, have the signature(s) on the letter of transmittal guaranteed if required by the letter of transmittal and mail or deliver such letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof to the exchange agent at the address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration date; or

• comply with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures described below.

In addition, either:

• the exchange agent must receive certificates for outstanding notes along with the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date;

• the exchange agent must receive a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures for book-entry transfer described below or a properly transmitted agent’s message prior to the expiration date; or

• you must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

Your tender, if not withdrawn prior to the expiration date, constitutes an agreement between the Issuers and you upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

The method of delivery of outstanding notes, letters of transmittal, and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at your election and risk. We recommend that instead of delivery by mail, you use an overnight or hand delivery service, properly insured. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to assure timely delivery to the exchange agent before the expiration date. You should not send letters of transmittal or certificates representing outstanding notes to us. You may request that your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or nominee effect the above transactions for you.

If you are a beneficial owner whose outstanding notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and you wish to tender your notes, you should promptly contact the registered holder and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you wish to tender the outstanding notes yourself, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your outstanding notes, either:

• make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of the outstanding notes in your name; or

• obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder of outstanding notes.

244

The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be able to be completed prior to the expiration date.

Signatures on the letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal, as the case may be, must be guaranteed by a member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States or another “eligible guarantor institution” within the meaning of Rule 17A(d)-15 under the Exchange Act unless the outstanding notes surrendered for exchange are tendered:

• by a registered holder of the outstanding notes who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” in the letter of transmittal; or

• for the account of an eligible guarantor institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any outstanding notes listed on the outstanding notes, such outstanding notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the outstanding notes and an eligible guarantor institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.

If the letter of transmittal or any certificates representing outstanding notes, or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations, or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should also indicate when signing and, unless waived by the Issuers, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to the Issuers of their authority to so act.

The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program to tender. Participants in the program may, instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange agent, electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange by causing DTC to transfer the outstanding notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent. The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC, received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, which states that:

• DTC has received an express acknowledgment from a participant in its Automated Tender Offer Program that is tendering outstanding notes that are the subject of the book-entry confirmation;

• the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, or in the case of an agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery; and

• the Issuers may enforce that agreement against such participant.

Acceptance of Exchange Notes

In all cases, the Issuers will promptly issue exchange notes for outstanding notes that they have accepted for exchange under the exchange offer only after the exchange agent timely receives:

• outstanding notes or a timely book-entry confirmation of such outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility; and

• a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents or a properly transmitted agent’s message.

By tendering outstanding notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will represent to the Issuers that, among other things:

• you are not an affiliate of the Issuers or the guarantors within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

245

• you do not have an arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in a distribution of the exchange notes; and

• you are acquiring the exchange notes in the ordinary course of your business.

In addition, each broker-dealer that is to receive exchange notes for its own account in exchange for outstanding notes must represent that such outstanding notes were acquired by that broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus that meets the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the exchange notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. See “Plan of Distribution.”

The Issuers will interpret the terms and conditions of the exchange offer, including the letters of transmittal and the instructions to the letters of transmittal, and will resolve all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, including time of receipt, and acceptance of outstanding notes tendered for exchange. Determinations of the Issuers in this regard will be final and binding on all parties. The Issuers reserve the absolute right to reject any and all tenders of any particular outstanding notes not properly tendered or to not accept any particular outstanding notes if the acceptance might, in their or their counsel’s judgment, be unlawful. The Issuers also reserve the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities as to any particular outstanding notes prior to the expiration date.

Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of outstanding notes for exchange must be cured within such reasonable period of time as the Issuers determine. Neither the Issuers, the exchange agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defect or irregularity with respect to any tender of outstanding notes for exchange, nor will any of them incur any liability for any failure to give notification. Any outstanding notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned by the exchange agent to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, promptly after the expiration date.

Book-Entry Delivery Procedures

Promptly after the date of this prospectus, the exchange agent will establish an account with respect to the outstanding notes at DTC, as book-entry transfer facilities, for purposes of the exchange offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of the outstanding notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer those outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the facility in accordance with the facility’s procedures for such transfer. To be timely, book-entry delivery of outstanding notes requires receipt of a confirmation of a book-entry transfer, a “book-entry confirmation,” prior to the expiration date. In addition, although delivery of outstanding notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility, the letter of transmittal or a manually signed facsimile thereof, together with any required signature guarantees and any other required documents, or an “agent’s message,” as defined below, in connection with a book-entry transfer, must, in any case, be delivered or transmitted to and received by the exchange agent at its address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal prior to the expiration date to receive exchange notes for tendered outstanding notes, or the guaranteed delivery procedure described below must be complied with. Tender will not be deemed made until such documents are received by the exchange agent. Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Holders of outstanding notes who are unable to deliver confirmation of the book-entry tender of their outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at the book-entry transfer facility or all other documents required by the letter of transmittal to the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date must tender their outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.

246

Guaranteed Delivery Procedures

If you wish to tender your outstanding notes but your outstanding notes are not immediately available or you cannot deliver your outstanding notes, the letter of transmittal or any other required documents to the exchange agent or comply with the applicable procedures under DTC’s Automatic Tender Offer Program, prior to the expiration date, you may still tender if:

• the tender is made through an eligible guarantor institution;

• prior to the expiration date, the exchange agent receives from such eligible guarantor institution either a properly completed and duly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by facsimile transmission, mail, or hand delivery or a properly transmitted agent’s message and notice of guaranteed delivery, that (1) sets forth your name and address, the certificate number(s) of such outstanding notes and the principal amount of outstanding notes tendered; (2) states that the tender is being made thereby; and (3) guarantees that, within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date, the letter of transmittal, or facsimile thereof, together with the outstanding notes or a book-entry confirmation, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal, will be deposited by the eligible guarantor institution with the exchange agent; and

• the exchange agent receives the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, as well as certificate(s) representing all tendered outstanding notes in proper form for transfer or a book-entry confirmation of transfer of the outstanding notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, and all other documents required by the letter of transmittal within three New York Stock Exchange trading days after the expiration date.

Upon request, the exchange agent will send to you a notice of guaranteed delivery if you wish to tender your outstanding notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedures.

Withdrawal Rights

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of outstanding notes at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the expiration date.

For a withdrawal to be effective:

• the exchange agent must receive a written notice, which may be by telegram, telex, facsimile or letter, of withdrawal at its address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent;” or

• you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program system.

Any notice of withdrawal must:

• specify the name of the person who tendered the outstanding notes to be withdrawn;

• identify the outstanding notes to be withdrawn, including the certificate numbers and principal amount of the outstanding notes; and

• where certificates for outstanding notes have been transmitted, specify the name in which such outstanding notes were registered, if different from that of the withdrawing holder.

If certificates for outstanding notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of such certificates, you must also submit:

• the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and

• a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution unless you are an eligible guarantor institution.

247

If outstanding notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn outstanding notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of the facility. The Issuers will determine all questions as to the validity, form, and eligibility, including time of receipt of notices of withdrawal and their determination will be final and binding on all parties. Any outstanding notes so withdrawn will be deemed not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer. Any outstanding notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder, without cost to the holder, or, in the case of book-entry transfer, the outstanding notes will be credited to an account at the book-entry transfer facility, promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. Properly withdrawn outstanding notes may be retendered by following the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Outstanding Notes” above at any time on or prior to the expiration date.

Exchange Agent

Wilmington Trust, National Association has been appointed as the exchange agent for the exchange offer. Wilmington Trust, National Association also acts as trustee under the indenture governing the notes. You should direct all executed letters of transmittal and all questions and requests for assistance, requests for additional copies of this prospectus or of the letter of transmittal, and requests for notices of guaranteed delivery to the exchange agent addressed as follows:

By Mail or Overnight Courier: Wilmington Trust, National Association c/o Wilmington Trust Company Corporate Capital Markets Rodney Square North 1100 North Market Street Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1626 Attn: Workflow Management— 5th Floor	By Facsimile: (302) 636-4139 Attn: Workflow Management	By Hand Delivery: Wilmington Trust, National Association c/o Wilmington Trust Company Corporate Capital Markets Rodney Square North 1100 North Market Street Wilmington, Delaware 19890-1626 Attn: Workflow Management— 5th Floor
	To Confirm by Email: DTC2@wilmingtontrust.com Attn: Workflow Management

If you deliver the letter of transmittal to an address other than the one set forth above or transmit instructions via facsimile other than the one set forth above, that delivery or those instructions will not be effective.

Fees and Expenses

The registration rights agreement provides that we will bear all expenses in connection with the performance of our obligations relating to the registration of the exchange notes and the conduct of the exchange offer. These expenses include registration and filing fees, accounting and legal fees and printing costs, among others. We will pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding this prospectus and related documents to their clients that are holders of outstanding notes and for handling or tendering for such clients.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offer and will not pay any fee or commission to any broker, dealer, nominee or other person, other than the exchange agent, for soliciting tenders of outstanding unregistered notes pursuant to the exchange offer.

248

Accounting Treatment

We will record the exchange notes in our accounting records at the same carrying value as the outstanding notes, which is the aggregate principal amount as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchanges, as the terms of the exchange notes are substantially identical to the terms of the outstanding notes. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon the consummation of this exchange offer. We will capitalize the expenses relating to the exchange offer.

Transfer Taxes

The Issuers and the guarantors will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchanges of outstanding notes under the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:

• certificates representing outstanding notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of outstanding notes tendered;

• tendered outstanding notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the letter of transmittal; or

• a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of outstanding notes under the exchange offer.

If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed to that tendering holder.

Holders who tender their outstanding notes for exchange will not be required to pay any transfer taxes. However, holders who instruct the Issuers to register exchange notes in the name of, or request that outstanding notes not tendered or not accepted in the exchange offer be returned to, a person other than the registered tendering holder will be required to pay any applicable transfer tax.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for exchange notes under the exchange offer, your outstanding notes will remain subject to the restrictions on transfer of such outstanding notes:

• as set forth in the legend printed on the outstanding notes as a consequence of the issuance of the outstanding notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and

• as otherwise set forth in the offering memorandum distributed in connection with the private offering of the outstanding notes.

In general, you may not offer or sell your outstanding notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement, we do not intend to register resales of the outstanding notes under the Securities Act.

Other

Participating in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to accept. You are urged to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

249

We may in the future seek to acquire untendered outstanding notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise. We have no present plans to acquire any outstanding notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered outstanding notes.

250

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable event to holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Consequently, you will not recognize gain or loss upon receipt of an exchange note, the holding period of the exchange note will include the holding period of the outstanding note exchanged therefor and the basis of the exchange note will be the same as the basis of the outstanding note immediately before the exchange.

In any event, persons considering the exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes should consult their own tax advisors concerning the U.S. federal income tax consequences in light of their particular situations as well as any consequences arising under the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

251

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the acquisition and holding of the exchange notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, “Similar Laws”), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a “Plan”).

General Fiduciary Matters

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an “ERISA Plan”) and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

In considering an investment in the exchange notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Laws relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Prohibited Transaction Issues

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of exchange notes (including an exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes) by an ERISA Plan with respect to which an Issuer or a guarantor is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or “PTCEs,” that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the exchange notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the ERISA Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

252

Because of the foregoing, the exchange notes should not be acquired or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such acquisition and holding (and the exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes) will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

Representation

Accordingly, by acceptance of an exchange note (including an exchange of outstanding notes for exchange notes), each purchaser and subsequent transferee of an exchange note will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to purchase or hold the exchange notes or any interest therein constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the purchase and holding of the exchange notes or any interest therein by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering acquiring or holding the exchange notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the acquisition and holding of the exchange notes.

253

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Each broker-dealer that receives exchange notes for its own account pursuant to an exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such exchange notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of exchange notes received in exchange for outstanding notes where such outstanding notes were acquired as a result of market making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 90 days from the date on which the registration statement for the exchange offer is declared effective, (ii) the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market making or other trading activities and (iii) the date on which all the notes covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant to the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale, and will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendments or supplements to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents in the letter of transmittal. In addition, all dealers effecting transactions in the exchange notes may be required to deliver a prospectus.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of exchange notes by broker-dealers. Exchange notes received by broker-dealers for their own account pursuant to an exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the exchange notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such exchange notes. Any broker-dealer that resells exchange notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to an exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such exchange notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit of any such resale of exchange notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay all expenses incident to the exchange offer (including the expenses of one counsel for the holders of the outstanding notes) other than commissions or concessions of any broker-dealers and will indemnify you (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

254

LEGAL MATTERS

The validity and enforceability of the exchange notes will be passed upon for us by Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, New York, New York. In rendering its opinion, Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP will rely upon the opinion of Holland & Hart LLP as to all matters governed by the laws of the states of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, the opinions of Kutak Rock LLP as to all matters governed by the laws of the states of Kansas and Missouri, the opinion of Stites & Harbison PLLC as to all matters governed by the laws of the state of Kentucky, the opinion of Kirk Palmer & Thigpen, P.A. as to all matters governed by the laws of the state of South Carolina, and the opinion of Winstead PC as to all matters governed by the laws of the state of Texas. An investment vehicle comprised of selected partners of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, members of their families, related persons and others owns an interest representing less than 1% of the capital commitments of funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

We and our guarantor subsidiaries have filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act with respect to the exchange notes. This prospectus, which forms a part of the registration statement, does not contain all of the information set forth in the registration statement. For further information with respect to us, our guarantor subsidiaries and the exchange notes, reference is made to the registration statement. Statements contained in this prospectus as to the contents of any contract or other document are not necessarily complete, and, where such contract or other document is an exhibit to the registration statement, each such statement is qualified by the provisions in such exhibit, to which reference is hereby made. We have historically filed annual, quarterly and current reports and other information with the SEC. The registration statement, such reports and other information can be inspected and copied at the Public Reference Room of the SEC located at Room 1580, 100 F Street, N.E., Washington D.C. 20549. Copies of such materials, including copies of all or any portion of the registration statement, can be obtained from the Public Reference Room of the SEC at prescribed rates. You can call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 to obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room. Such materials may also be accessed electronically by means of the SEC’s home page on the Internet (http://www.sec.gov). However, any such information filed with the SEC does not constitute a part of this prospectus.

So long as we are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, we are required to furnish the information required to be filed with the SEC to the trustee and the holders of the outstanding notes. We have agreed that, even if we are not required under the Exchange Act to furnish such information to the SEC, we will nonetheless continue to furnish information that would be required to be furnished by us by Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Member

of Summit Materials, LLC:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Summit Materials, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, cash flows, and changes in redeemable noncontrolling interest and member’s interest for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 27, 2014 . These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Summit Materials, LLC and subsidiaries as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 27, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)

(1) Summary of Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

Summit Materials, LLC (“Summit Materials”) is a vertically-integrated, construction materials company. Across its subsidiaries, it is engaged in the manufacturing and sale of aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete and asphalt paving mix. It is also engaged in road paving and related construction services. Summit Materials owns and operates quarries, sand and gravel pits, a cement plant, cement distribution terminals, asphalt plants, ready—mixed concrete plants and landfill sites. The operations of Summit Materials are conducted primarily across 17 states and British Columbia, Canada, with the most significant portion of the Company’s revenue generated in Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri.

Summit Materials is a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (“Summit Holdings”) whose major indirect owners are certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. (“BCP”). Summit Materials has a number of subsidiaries that have individually made a number of acquisitions through 2014. The Company is organized by geographic region and has three operating segments, which are also its reporting segments: the Central; West; and East regions.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Summit Materials and its majority owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The Company attributes consolidated member’s interest and net income separately to the controlling and noncontrolling interests. The Company accounts for investments in entities for which it has an ownership of 20% to 50% using the equity method of accounting.

Noncontrolling interests represent a 30% redeemable ownership in Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. (“Continental Cement”) and a 20% ownership in Ohio Valley Asphalt, LLC. In 2013, Continental Cement changed its fiscal year from a calendar year to a 52-week year with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on a Saturday, consistent with Summit Materials’ fiscal year. Continental Cement’s fiscal year end in 2014 was December 27 compared to December 28 in 2013 and the calendar year ended December 31 in 2012. The effect of this change to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and liquidity was immaterial. Each of the fiscal years presented were composed of 52 weeks.

Use of Estimates—The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangible and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations, asset retirement obligations and the redeemable noncontrolling interest. Estimates also include revenue earned and costs to complete open contracts. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, will be reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the period in which the change in estimate occurs.

Business and Credit Concentrations—The majority of the Company’s customers are located in Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri and accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers within these states. Collection of these accounts is, therefore, dependent on the economic conditions in the aforementioned states. However, credit granted within the Company’s trade areas has been granted to a wide

F-8

variety of customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of revenue in 2014, 2013 or 2012. Management does not believe that any significant concentrations of credit exist with respect to individual customers or groups of customers.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the collectability of individual accounts. In establishing the allowance, management considers historical losses adjusted to take into account current market conditions and its customers’ financial condition, the amount of receivables in dispute, the current receivables aging and current payment terms. Balances that remain outstanding after reasonable collection efforts are exercised are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance.

The balances billed but not paid by customers, pursuant to retainage provisions included in contracts, will be due upon completion of the contracts.

Revenue and Cost Recognition—Revenue for product sales are recognized when evidence of an arrangement exists, the fee is fixed or determinable, title passes, which is generally when the product is shipped, and collection is reasonably assured. Product revenue includes sales of aggregates, cement and other materials to customers, net of discounts, allowances or taxes, as applicable.

Revenue from construction contracts are included in service revenue and are recognized under the percentage-of-completion accounting method. The percent complete is measured by the cost incurred to date compared to the estimated total cost of each project. This method is used as management considers expended cost to be the best available measure of progress on these contracts, the majority of which are completed within one year, but may occasionally extend beyond one year. Inherent uncertainties in estimating costs make it at least reasonably possible that the estimates used will change within the near term and over the life of the contracts.

Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance and completion. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are estimable. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred.

Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, may result in revisions to costs and income. Such revisions are recognized in the period in which they are determined. An amount equal to contract costs incurred that are attributable to claims is included in revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings are composed principally of revenue recognized on contracts (on the percentage-of-completion method) for which billings had not been presented to customers because the amount were not billable under the contract terms at the balance sheet date. In accordance with the contract terms, the unbilled receivables at December 27, 2014 will be billed in 2015. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings represent billings in excess of revenue recognized.

Revenue from the receipt of waste fuels is classified as service revenue and is based on fees charged for the waste disposal, which are recognized when the waste is accepted.

Inventories—Inventories consist of stone removed from quarries and processed for future sale, cement, raw materials and finished concrete blocks. Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market and are accounted for on a first-in first-out basis or an average cost basis. If items become obsolete or otherwise unusable or if quantities exceed what is projected to be sold within a reasonable period of time, they will be charged to costs of production in the period that the items are designated as obsolete or excess inventory. Stripping costs are costs of removing overburden and waste material to access aggregate materials and are recognized in cost of revenue in the same period as the revenue from the sale of the inventory.

F-9

Property, Plant and Equipment, net—Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation, depletion and amortization. Expenditures for additions and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Repair and maintenance costs that do not substantially expand productive capacity or extend the life of property, plant and equipment are expensed as incurred.

Landfill airspace is included in property, plant and equipment at cost and is amortized based on utilization of the asset. Management reassesses the landfill airspace capacity with any changes in value recorded in cost of revenue. Capitalized landfill costs include expenditures for the acquisition of land and related airspace, engineering and permitting costs, cell construction costs and direct site improvement costs.

Upon disposal of an asset, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the Company’s accounts and any gain or loss is included in general and administrative expenses.

Depreciation on property, plant and equipment, including assets subject to capital leases, is computed on a straight-line basis or based on the economic usage over the estimated useful life of the asset. The estimated useful lives are generally as follows:

Buildings and improvements	7—40 years
Plant, machinery and equipment	20—40 years
Mobile equipment and barges	15—20 years
Office equipment	3—6 years
Truck and auto fleet	5—10 years
Landfill airspace and improvements	5—60 years
Other	2—10 years

Depletion of mineral reserves is calculated for proven and probable reserves by the units of production method on a site-by-site basis. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the asset’s useful life or the remaining lease term.

The Company reviews the carrying value of property, plant and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. Such indicators may include, among others, deterioration in general economic conditions, adverse changes in the markets in which an entity operates, increases in input costs that have a negative effect on earnings and cash flows or a trend of negative or declining cash flows over multiple periods.

Property, plant and equipment is tested for impairment at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets. As a result, the property, plant and equipment impairment test is at a significantly lower level than the level at which goodwill is tested for impairment. In markets where the Company does not produce downstream products (e.g., ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and paving and related services), the lowest level of largely independent identifiable cash flows is at the individual aggregates operation or a group of aggregates operations collectively serving a local market or the cement operations, as a whole. Conversely, in vertically-integrated markets, the cash flows of the downstream and upstream businesses are not largely independently identifiable and the vertically-integrated operations are considered the lowest level of largely independent identifiable cash flows.

In addition, assets are assessed for impairment charges when identified for disposition. Projected losses from disposition are recognized in the period in which they become estimable, which may be in advance of the actual disposition. The net loss from asset dispositions recognized in general and administrative expenses in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $6.5 million, $12.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively. No material impairment charges have been recognized on assets held for use in 2014, 2013 or 2012. The losses are commonly a result of the cash flows expected from selling the asset being less than the expected cash flows that could be generated from holding the asset for use.

F-10

Accrued Mining and Landfill Reclamation—The mining reclamation reserve and financial commitments for landfill closure and post-closure activities are based on management’s estimate of future cost requirements to reclaim property at both currently operating and closed sites. Estimates of these obligations have been developed based on management’s interpretation of current requirements and proposed regulatory changes and are intended to approximate fair value. Costs are estimated in current dollars, inflated until the expected time of payment, using an inflation rate of 2.5%, and then discounted back to present value using a credit-adjusted, risk-free rate on obligations of similar maturity, adjusted to reflect the Company’s credit rating. Changes in the credit-adjusted, risk-free rate do not change recorded liabilities. However, subsequent increases in the recognized obligations are measured using a current credit-adjusted, risk-free rate. Decreases in the recognized obligations are measured at the initial credit-adjusted, risk-free rate.

Significant changes in inflation rates or the amount or timing of future cost estimates typically result in both (1) a current adjustment to the recorded liability (and corresponding adjustment to the asset) and (2) a change in accretion of the liability and depreciation of the asset to be recorded prospectively over the remaining capacity of the unmined quarry or landfill.

Intangible Assets—The Company’s intangible assets are primarily composed of lease agreements, reserve rights and trade names. The assets related to lease agreements are a result of the submarket royalty rates paid under agreements, primarily, for extracting aggregate. The values were determined as of the respective acquisition dates by a comparison of market-royalty rates to contract-royalty rates. The reserve rights relate to aggregate reserves to which the Company has the rights of ownership, but do not own the reserves. The intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the leases. Continental Cement’s trade name composes the majority of the remaining intangible assets. The following table shows intangible assets by type and in total:

	December 27, 2014							December 28, 2013
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount		Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Net Carrying Amount
Leases	$	10,357	$	(2,031	)	$	8,326	$	10,430	$	(1,604	)	$	8,826
Reserve rights		9,094		(540	)		8,554		5,890		(221	)		5,669
Trade names		1,020		(470	)		550		1,020		(368	)		652
Other		249		(32	)		217		—		—			—
Total intangible assets	$	20,720	$	(3,073	)	$	17,647	$	17,340	$	(2,193	)	$	15,147

Amortization expense in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $0.9 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The estimated amortization expense for intangible assets for each of the next five years and thereafter is as follows:

2015	$	3,105
2016		1,675
2017		956
2018		956
2019		956
Thereafter		9,999
Total	$	17,647

Goodwill—Goodwill represents the purchase price paid in excess of the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired. Goodwill recorded in connection with the Company’s acquisitions is primarily attributable to the expected profitability, assembled workforces of the acquired businesses and the synergies expected to arise after the Company’s acquisition of those businesses. Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested annually for impairment as of the first day of the fourth quarter and whenever events or circumstances indicate

F-11

that goodwill may be impaired. The goodwill impairment test first uses a qualitative approach to determine whether it is more likely than not that the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If, as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is determined that an impairment is more likely than not, the two-step quantitative impairment test is then performed, otherwise further analysis is not required. The two-step impairment test first identifies potential goodwill impairment for each reporting unit and then, if necessary, measures the amount of the impairment loss. Goodwill is tested for impairment based on the Company’s operating companies, which management has determined to be the Company’s reporting units, which are one level below its segments in the Central and West regions. The East region is considered to be a single reporting unit.

Income Taxes—As a limited liability company, Summit Materials’ federal and state income tax attributes are generally passed to its members. However, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries are taxable entities, the provisions for which are included in the consolidated financial statements. For the Company’s taxable entities, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the tax basis and financial statement amounts that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recognized for deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax assets will not be realized.

The Company evaluates the tax positions taken on income tax returns that remain open to examination by the respective tax authorities from prior years and positions expected to be taken on the current year tax returns to identify uncertain tax positions. Interest and penalties are recorded in income tax expense.

Fair Value Measurements—The fair value accounting guidance establishes the following fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value:

Level 1	—	Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2	—	Inputs other than Level 1 that are based on observable market data, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs that are observable that are not prices and inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable markets.
Level 3	—	Valuations developed from unobservable data, reflecting the Company’s own assumptions, which market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 are as follows:

	2014		2013
Accrued expenses:
Current portion of contingent consideration	$	2,375	$	—
Acquisition- related liabilities
Contingent consideration	$	5,379	$	1,908

Certain acquisitions made by the Company require the payment of additional consideration contingent upon the achievement of specified operating results, referred to as contingent consideration or earn-out obligations. These payments will not be made if earn-out thresholds are not achieved. Approximately $4.5 million and $1.9 million of the increase in contingent consideration obligations relate to the January 17, 2014 acquisition of Alleyton Resource Corporation, Colorado Gulf, LP and certain assets of Barten Shepard Investments, LP (collectively, “Alleyton”) and the October 3, 2014 acquisition of Concrete Supply of Topeka, Inc. and all of the membership interests of Penny’s Concrete and Ready Mix, L.L.C. and Builders Choice Concrete Company of Missouri, L.L.C. (collectively, “Concrete Supply”), respectively. No material earn-out payments have been made to date.

F-12

Summit Materials records contingent consideration at fair value on the acquisition date and then measures its fair value each reporting period. Any adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings in the period identified. Management of the Company determines the appropriate policies and procedures to be used when determining the fair value of contingent consideration. Its fair values are based on unobservable inputs, or Level 3 assumptions, including projected probability-weighted cash payments and an 11.0% discount rate, which reflects the Company’s credit risk. Changes in fair value may occur as a result of a change in actual or projected cash payments, the probability weightings applied by the Company to projected payments or a change in the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower, or higher, fair value measurement. In 2014 and 2012, we recognized immaterial reductions to contingent consideration of $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.

Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments include certain acquisition-related liabilities (deferred consideration and noncompete obligations) and debt. The fair value of the deferred consideration and noncompete obligations approximate their carrying value of $49.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively, as of December 27, 2014 and $28.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, as of December 28, 2013. The fair value was determined based on Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, including the cash payment terms in the purchase agreements and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s credit risk.

The fair value of long-term debt was approximately $1,101.9 million and $696.5 million as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, compared to its carrying value of $1,064.9 million and $663.0 million, respectively. Fair value was determined based on Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, including observable inputs, specifically quoted prices for these instruments in inactive markets. The fair value of Company’s revolving credit facility approximated its carrying value of $26.0 million at December 28, 2013. There were no outstanding borrowings on the revolving credit facility as of December 27, 2014.

(2) Acquisitions

The Company has acquired a number of entities since its formation in 2009, which were financed through a combination of debt and contributions from its member.

Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)—The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information presents the financial results as if the 2014, 2013 and 2012 acquisitions occurred on the first day of fiscal year 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. This supplemental pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes and does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisitions been made on the first day of the preceding fiscal year, nor is it indicative of any future results. The pro forma effect on revenue in the year ended December 28, 2013 was $305.7 million and $8.6 million from 2014 and 2013 acquisitions, respectively, and was $33.7 million and ($3.4) million, respectively, on net loss. The pro forma effect on revenue in the year ended December 29, 2012 was $82.4 million and $13.8 million from 2013 and 2012 acquisitions, respectively, and was $4.7 million and ($0.5) million, respectively, on net loss.

(3) Goodwill

As of December 29, 2014, the Company had 11 reporting units with goodwill for which the annual goodwill impairment test was completed. To perform the annual impairment test on the first day of the fourth quarter of 2014, the Company first assessed qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances led to a determination that it was more likely than not (more than 50%) that the estimated fair value of its reporting units, excluding the Utah-based reporting unit, were less than the carrying amounts. As a result of the qualitative assessment, it was determined that an impairment was not more likely than not. Accordingly, for those reporting units, the two-step quantitative impairment test was not performed. The Utah-based reporting unit has negative equity and, therefore, the Company performed step 2 of the two-step impairment test. The second step of the test requires the allocation of the reporting unit’s fair value to its assets and liabilities, including any unrecognized intangible assets, in a hypothetical analysis that calculates the implied fair value of goodwill as if the reporting unit were being acquired in a business combination. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as an impairment loss. The Company estimated the fair value of the Utah-based reporting unit’s assets and liabilities using either an income approach (a discounted cash flow technique) or a market approach, based on the nature of the asset and liability and the information available. These valuation methods used Level 2 and Level 3 assumptions, including, but not limited to, sales prices of similar assets, assumptions related to future profitability, cash flows, and discount rates. These estimates are based upon historical trends, management’s knowledge and experience and overall economic factors, including projections of future earnings potential. Developing discounted future cash flow estimates in applying the income approach required management to evaluate its intermediate to longer-term strategies, including, but not limited to, estimates about revenue growth, acquisition strategies, operating margins, capital requirements, inflation and working capital management. The development of appropriate rates to discount the estimated future cash flows required the selection of risk premiums, which can materially affect the present value of estimated future cash flows. Based on this analysis, it was determined that the Utah reporting unit’s fair value was greater than its carrying value and no impairment charges were recognized in 2014.

During the annual test performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of 2013, management concluded that the estimated fair value of the Utah-based operations in the West region and of the East region were less than their respective carrying values. The estimated fair value of these operating units was estimated by applying a 50 percent weighting to both the discounted cash flow valuation and the market assessment, a discount rate of 11.0% and internal growth projections.

Based on the step two analysis, the Company recognized goodwill impairment charges of $68.2 million in the year ended December 28, 2013, as a result of uncertainties in the timing of a sustained recovery in the construction industry. After recognition of the goodwill impairment charges, the fair values of these reporting units’ goodwill recognized as of December 28, 2013 were:

	2013
Goodwill:
Utah operations in the West region	$	36,589
East region		—

No impairment charges were recognized prior to 2013.

(4) Discontinued Operations

The Company’s discontinued operations include a railroad construction and repair business (referred to herein as railroad), environmental remediation operations and certain concrete paving operations. The railroad business involved building and repairing railroad sidings. The environmental remediation operations primarily involved the repair of retaining walls along highways in Kentucky and the removal and remediation of underground fuel storage tanks. The railroad and environmental remediation operations were sold in 2012 in separate transactions for aggregate proceeds of $3.1 million. The concrete paving operations were wound down in 2013 and all assets had been sold in 2014. The results of these operations have been removed from the results of continuing operations for all periods presented. Prior to recognition as discontinued operations, all of these businesses were included in the East region’s operations.

Debt and interest expense were not allocated to these businesses since there was no debt specifically attributable to the operations. The discontinued businesses are organized within a limited liability company that passes its tax attributes for federal and state tax purposes to its parent company and is generally not subject to federal or state income tax. The railroad, environmental remediation and concrete paving businesses’ revenue and loss before income taxes, including an immaterial gain on sale, in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 are summarized below:

	2014			2013		2012

Summit Materials and Summit Materials Finance Corp. issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10 ¹⁄₂% Senior Notes due January 31, 2020 (“Senior Notes”) under an indenture dated January 30, 2012 (as amended and supplemented, the “Indenture”). In addition to the Senior Notes, the Company has credit facilities which provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $422.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an

F-19

aggregate amount of $150.0 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). The debt was initially issued with an original issuance discount of $9.5 million, which was recorded as a reduction to debt and is being accreted as interest expense over the term of the debt. As a result of these transactions, $9.5 million of financing fees were charged to earnings in the year ended December 29, 2012.

On January 17, 2014 and September 8, 2014, Summit Materials and Summit Materials Finance Corp. issued an additional $260.0 million and $115.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes (the “Additional Notes”), receiving proceeds of $409.3 million, before payment of fees and expenses and including a $34.3 million premium. The proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes were used for the purchases of Alleyton and Mainland, to make payments on the revolving facility and for general corporate purposes. The Additional Notes are treated as a single series with the $250.0 million of senior notes (“Existing Notes”) and have substantially the same terms as those of the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes are treated as one class under the Indenture.

Senior Notes—Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears; interest payments commenced on July 31, 2012. The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, Summit Materials and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The Indenture also contains customary events of default. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities—Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Summit Materials has entered into term loans totaling $422.0 million with required principal repayments of 0.25% of term debt due on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. In February 2013, Summit Materials consummated a repricing, which included additional borrowings of $25.0 million, an interest rate reduction of 1.0% and a deferral of the March 2013 principal payment. The unpaid principal balance is due in full on the maturity date, which is January 30, 2019. As a result of this repricing, $3.1 million of financing fees were charged to earnings in the year ended December 28, 2013. The Senior Secured Credit Facilities include an uncommitted incremental facility that allows Summit Materials the option to increase the amount available under the term loan facility and/or the senior secured revolving credit facility by (i) $135.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount so long as Summit Materials is in pro forma compliance with a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. The term loans bear interest per annum equal to, at Summit Materials’ option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) the British Bankers Association London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus 1.00%, subject to a base rate floor of 2.25%, plus an applicable margin of 2.75% for base rate loans, or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to Reuters prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.25% plus an applicable margin of 3.75% for LIBOR rate loans. The interest rate in effect at December 27, 2014 was 5.0%.

Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Summit Materials has revolving credit commitments of $150.0 million. The revolving credit facility matures on January 30, 2017 and bears interest per annum equal to, at Summit Materials’ option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 2.5% for base rate loans or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to Reuters prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs plus an applicable margin of 3.5% for LIBOR rate loans. The interest rate in effect at December 27, 2014 was 4.2%.

There were no outstanding borrowings under the revolver facility as of December 27, 2014, leaving remaining borrowing capacity of $126.7 million, which is net of $23.3 million of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit are renewed annually and support required bonding on construction projects and the Company’s insurance liabilities.

F-20

The Company must adhere to certain financial covenants related to its debt and interest leverage ratios, as defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The consolidated first lien net leverage ratio, reported each quarter, should be no greater than 4.75:1.0 from January 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014; 4.50:1.0 from July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015, and 4.25:1.0 thereafter. The interest coverage ratio must be at least 1.70:1.0 from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014 and 1.85:1.0 thereafter. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all covenants. Summit Materials’ wholly-owned domestic subsidiary companies and its non-wholly-owned subsidiary, Continental Cement, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions are named as subsidiary guarantors of the Senior Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In addition, Summit Materials has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions, for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, $17.2 million and $11.5 million, respectively, of deferred financing fees were being amortized over the term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Other—On January 15, 2015, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in British Columbia, Canada, Mainland, entered into an agreement with HSBC for a (a) $6.0 million Canadian dollar (“CAD”) revolving credit commitment to be used for operating activities that bears interest per annum equal to the bank’s prime rate plus 0.20%, (b) $0.5 million CAD revolving credit commitment to be used for capital equipment that bears interest per annum at the bank’s prime rate plus 0.90% and (c) $0.4 million CAD revolving credit commitment to provide guarantees on behalf of Mainland.

(10) Member’s Interest

Summit Materials’ membership interests are held by Summit Holdings. Business affairs of the Company are managed by the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Summit Materials Holdings, GP, Ltd., the general partner of Summit Holdings, which, as of December 27, 2014, was composed of six directors. Directors of the Board are appointed by the unit holders of Summit Holdings, which is the indirect sole member of the Company.

Total	$	(33,185	)	$	(27,910	)

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, management considered whether it was more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets

F-22

will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible (including the effect of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected future taxable income and tax-planning strategies in making this assessment. Management anticipates the deferred income tax asset related to net operating losses will not be fully utilized before their expiration in 2034; therefore, a valuation allowance has been recorded as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013. At December 27, 2014, the Company has net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $18.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, which are available to offset future federal and state taxable income, if any, through 2033.

Summit Materials does not have any uncertain tax positions as of December 27, 2014. Tax years from 2011 to 2014 remain open and subject to audit by federal and state tax authorities. No income tax expense or benefit was recognized in other comprehensive loss in 2014, 2013 or 2012.

(12) Employee Benefit Plans

Deferred Compensation Plan—The Company sponsors employee 401(k) savings plans for salaried employees and certain union employees. The plans provide for various required and discretionary Company matches of employees’ eligible compensation contributed to the plans. The expense for all defined contribution plans totaled $3.8 million, $2.3 million and $2.2 million for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively.

Defined Benefit and Other Postretirement Benefits Plans—The Company’s subsidiary, Continental Cement, sponsors two noncontributory defined benefit pension plans for hourly and salaried employees. The plans are closed to new participants and benefits are frozen. Pension benefits for eligible hourly employees are based on a monthly pension factor for each year of credited service. Pension benefits for eligible salaried employees are generally based on years of service and average eligible compensation.

Continental Cement also sponsors unfunded healthcare and life insurance benefits plans for certain eligible retired employees. Effective January 1, 2014, the plan was amended to eliminate all future retiree health and life coverage for employees.

The funded status of the pension and other postretirement benefit plans is recognized in the consolidated balance sheets as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligations. For defined benefit pension plans, the benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation (“PBO”) and for the healthcare and life insurance benefits plans, the benefit obligation is the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation (“APBO”). The PBO represents the actuarial present value of benefits expected to be paid upon retirement based on estimated future compensation levels. However, since the plans’ participants are not subject to future compensation increases, the plans’ PBO equals the APBO. The APBO represents the actuarial present value of postretirement benefits attributed to employee services already rendered. The fair value of plan assets represents the current market value of assets held by an irrevocable trust fund for the sole benefit of participants. The measurement of the benefit obligations are based on the Company’s estimates and actuarial valuations. These valuations reflect the terms of the plan and use participant-specific information, such as compensation, age and years of service, as well as certain assumptions that require significant judgment, including estimates of discount rates, expected return on plan assets, rate of compensation increases, interest-crediting rates and mortality rates.

The Company uses its fiscal year-end as the measurement date for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

Assumptions—Weighted-average assumptions used to determine the benefit obligations as of year-end 2014 and 2013 are:

	2014		2013
	Pension benefits	Healthcare & Life Ins.	Pension benefits	Healthcare & Life Ins.
Discount rate	3.50% - 3.65%	3.52%	4.21% - 4.46%	4.33%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets	7.30%	N/A	7.50%	N/A

Weighted-average assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012:

	2014		2013		2012
	Pension benefits	Healthcare & Life Ins.	Pension benefits	Healthcare & Life Ins.	Pension benefits	Healthcare & Life Ins.
Discount rate	4.21% - 4.46%	4.33%	3.30% - 3.57%	3.41%	3.89% - 4.07%	4.00%
Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets	7.50%	N/A	7.50%	N/A	7.50%	N/A

The expected long-term return on plan assets is based upon the Plans’ consideration of historical and forward-looking returns and the Company’s estimation of what a portfolio, with the target allocation described below, will earn over a long-term horizon. The discount rate is derived using the Citigroup Pension Discount Curve.

Assumed health care cost trend rates are 8% grading to 6% and 9% grading to 7% as of year-end 2014 and 2013, respectively. Assumed health care cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amounts reported for the Company’s healthcare and life insurance benefits plans. A one percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would have the following effects as of year-end 2014 and 2013:

Plan Assets—The defined benefit pension plans’ (the “Plans”) investment strategy is to minimize investment risk while generating acceptable returns. The Plans currently invest a relatively high proportion of the plan assets in fixed income securities, while the remainder is invested in equity securities, cash reserves and precious metals. The equity securities are diversified into funds with growth and value investment strategies. The target allocation for plan assets is as follows: equity securities—30%; fixed income securities—63%; cash reserves—5%; and precious metals—2%. The Plans’ current investment allocations are within the tolerance of the target allocation. The Company had no Level 3 investments as of or for the years ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013.

At year-end 2014 and 2013, the Plans’ assets were invested predominantly in fixed-income securities and publicly traded equities, but may invest in other asset classes in the future subject to the parameters of the investment policy. The Plans’ investments in fixed-income assets include U.S. Treasury and U.S. agency securities and corporate bonds. The Plans’ investments in equity assets include U.S. and international securities and equity funds. The Company estimates the fair value of the Plans’ assets using various valuation techniques and, to the extent available, quoted market prices in active markets or observable market inputs. The descriptions and fair value methodologies for the Plans’ assets are as follows:

Fixed Income Securities—Corporate and government bonds are classified as Level 2 assets, as they are either valued at quoted market prices from observable pricing sources at the reporting date or valued based upon comparable securities with similar yields and credit ratings.

Equity Securities—Equity securities are valued at the closing market price reported on a U.S. exchange where the security is actively traded and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets.

Cash—The carrying amounts of cash approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity.

Precious Metals—Precious metals are valued at the closing market price reported on a U.S. exchange where the security is actively traded and are therefore classified as Level 1 assets.

F-26

The fair value of the Plans’ assets by asset class and fair value hierarchy level as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013 are as follows:

Cash Flows—The Company expects to contribute approximately $1.1 million and $1.0 million in 2015 to its pension plans and healthcare and life insurance benefits plans, respectively.

The estimated benefit payments for each of the next five years and the five-year period thereafter are as follows:

	Pension benefits		Healthcare and Life Insurance Benefits

(13) Accrued Mining and Landfill Reclamation

The Company has asset retirement obligations arising from regulatory or contractual requirements to perform certain reclamation activities at the time that certain quarries and landfills are closed, which are primarily included in other noncurrent liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The current portion of the liabilities, $1.6 million and $0.5 million as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively, is included in accrued and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The liability was initially measured at fair value and subsequently is adjusted for accretion expense, payments and changes in the amount or timing of the estimated cash flows. The corresponding asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. The following table presents the activity for the asset retirement obligations for the years ended December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013:

	2014			2013
Beginning balance	$	15,781		$	14,844

(14) Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation and Claims—The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. In the opinion of management, these actions are without merit or the ultimate disposition, if any, resulting from them will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity. The Company’s policy is to record legal fees as incurred.

The Company is obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting, Inc., Harper Sand and Gravel, Inc., Harper Excavating, Inc., Harper Ready Mix Company, Inc. and Harper Investments, Inc. (collectively, “Harper”) for the sellers’ ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. The Company has the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but does not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture has incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which have resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and ultimately from the Company. Through year-end 2014, the Company has funded $8.8 million, $4.0 million in 2012 and $4.8 million in 2011. In 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized losses on the indemnification

F-28

agreement of $8.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. As of year-end 2014 and 2013, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of future funding obligations.

In February 2011, the Company incurred a property loss related to a sunken barge with cement product aboard. In the year-ended December 28, 2013, the Company recognized $0.8 million of charges for lost product aboard the barge and costs to remove the barge from the waterway. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, $0.4 million and $0.9 million, respectively, was included in accrued expenses as management’s best estimate of the remaining costs to remove the barge.

Environmental Remediation— The Company’s operations are subject to and affected by federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of the Company’s business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Other—During the course of business, there may be revisions to project costs and conditions that can give rise to change orders. Revisions can also result in claims we might make against the customer or a subcontractor to recover project variances that have not been satisfactorily addressed through change orders with the customer. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, unapproved change orders and claims were $3.9 million ($0.5 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings, $1.2 million in accounts receivable and $2.2 million in other assets) and $3.2 million ($0.5 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and $2.7 million in other assets), respectively.

The Company is obligated under various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services that are in the ordinary course of business. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company. The terms of the purchase commitments are generally less than one year.

(15) Related-Party Transactions

The Company incurred management fees paid to Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”) totaling $4.4 million, $2.6 million and $2.1 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, under terms of an agreement dated July 30, 2009, between Summit Holdings and BMP. Under the terms of the agreement, BMP is permitted to, and has, assigned a portion of the fees to which it is entitled to receive to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain members of management. The fees were paid for consultancy services related to acquisition activities and are included in general and administrative expenses.

In addition to the management fee, in consideration of BMP undertaking financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advice and negotiation assistance necessary to enable Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries to undertake acquisitions, Summit Holdings pays BMP a transaction fee equal to (x) 1.0% of the aggregate enterprise value of any acquired entity or (y) if such transaction is structured as an asset purchase or sale, 1.0% of the consideration paid for or received in respect of the assets acquired or disposed of. In addition, Summit Holdings has agreed to indemnify BMP and its affiliates against liabilities relating to the services contemplated by the transaction and management fee agreement and reimburse BMP and its affiliates for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with providing such services.

Under the transaction and management fee agreement, BMP is permitted to, and has, assigned a portion of the fees it is entitled to receive from Summit Holdings to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain members of

F-29

management. Transaction fees paid for the year ended December 27, 2014 were $3.9 million and were immaterial in 2013 or 2012 and amounts paid to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to other equity holders were immaterial.

The Company earned revenue of $0.6 million and $7.9 million and incurred costs of $0.2 million and $0.2 million in connection with several transactions with unconsolidated affiliates for the years ended December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. As of December 28, 2013, accounts receivable from these affiliates was $0.4 million. As of December 27, 2014, the company had no accounts receivable from these affiliates and an immaterial amount of revenue during the year ended December 27, 2014.

Cement sales to companies owned by certain noncontrolling members of Continental Cement were approximately $14.3 million, $12.7 million and $12.5 million for the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively, and accounts receivable due from these parties were approximately $1.2 million and $0.2 million as of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., an affiliate of Blackstone, served as an initial purchaser of $13.0 million and $5.75 million principal amounts of the senior notes issued in January 2014 and September 2014, respectively, and received compensation in connection therewith.

(16) Acquisition-Related Liabilities

A number of acquisition-related liabilities have been recorded subject to terms in the relevant purchase agreements, including deferred consideration and noncompete payments. Noncompete payments have been accrued where certain former owners of newly acquired companies have entered into standard noncompete arrangements. Subject to terms and conditions stated in these noncompete agreements, payments are generally made over a five-year period. Deferred consideration is purchase price consideration paid in the future as agreed to in the purchase agreement and is not contingent on future events. Deferred consideration is scheduled to be paid in years ranging from 5 to 20 years in either monthly, quarterly or annual installments. The remaining payments due under these noncompete and deferred consideration agreements are as follows:

2015	$	16,051
2016		13,240
2017		10,200
2018		9,660

(18) Leasing Arrangements

Rent expense, including short-term rentals, during the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was $5.5 million, $4.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The Company has lease agreements associated with quarry facilities under which royalty payments are made. The payments are generally based on tons sold in a particular period; however, certain agreements have minimum annual payments. Royalty expense recorded in cost of revenue during the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012 was $9.0 million, $4.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Minimum contractual commitments under long-term operating leases, which primarily relate to land, plant and equipment, and under royalty agreements as of December 27, 2014, are as follows:

	Operating Leases		Royalty Agreements
2015	$	5,048	$	3,303

2019		1,469		4,265

(19) Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company owns 100 Class A Units of Continental Cement, which represent an approximately 70% economic interest and have a preference in liquidation to the Class B Units. Continental Cement issued 100,000,000 Class B Units in May 2010, which remain outstanding and represent an approximately 30% economic interest.

Continental Cement’s Class A Units include a cumulative distribution preference which requires, to the extent distributions are authorized by its Board of Directors a priority return of 11% accruing daily and compounding annually on each anniversary of the date of issuance to Class A Unitholders. To the extent the priority return is not made in a given year, the amount of the priority return will increase the liquidation preference of the Class A Units up to an 80% allowable sharing percentage in distributions and liquidation proceeds. Summit Materials indirectly holds all the Class A Units.

The Amended and Restated Continental Cement Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”) provides the Company with a call right that allows it to require Continental Cement to call the Class B Units at a strike price that approximates fair value. The call right is exercisable after May 2016 either in anticipation of an initial public offering of Summit Materials or if an initial public offering of Summit Materials has already occurred. The Class B unitholders also have a put right that allows them to put the Class B Units to Continental Cement at a strike price that approximates fair value. The put right is exercisable prior to May 2016 upon a sale of control of Summit Materials or at any time after May 2016. The LLC Agreement also includes transfer restrictions that prohibit the Class B unitholders from transferring their units to third parties without the consent of the board of directors of Continental Cement.

Because the Class B Units can be put to Continental Cement in the future based on the passage of time, which can be accelerated upon the occurrence of a contingent event, their interests are classified in temporary equity. The redemption value is based upon the estimated fair value of Continental Cement, which is valued using Level 3 inputs. The Company has elected to accrete changes in the redemption value of the redeemable interest over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest anticipated redemption date of the instrument, which was May 2016 as of December 27, 2014, using an interest method. The accretion is an adjustment to the consolidated retained earnings and increased in the third quarter of 2014 consistent with the redemption value increase to an estimated $65.1 million. During the third quarter of 2014, the Company performed an indirect valuation of the Class B Units. The valuation was based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including an assumption on the timing of settlement and projected cash flows. A significant change in these inputs could result in a material increase, or decrease, in the redemption value of the Class B Units.

F-31

Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, the Class B unitholders have the right to elect to rollover their interests in Continental Cement in connection with an initial public offering of Summit Materials or a parent entity of Summit Materials. In December 2014, Summit Materials entered into a contribution and purchase agreement with the Class B unitholders for a value consistent with the redemption value referenced above. Concurrently with the consummation of an initial public offering of Summit Materials, Inc., the Class B unitholders will contribute 28,571,429 of the Class B Units of Continental Cement in exchange for units of Summit Owner Holdco LLC (“Summit Owner Holdco”) that, as a result of the transactions contemplated by the contribution and purchase agreement will hold a number of shares of Class A common stock of Summit Materials, Inc. that is equal to 1.469496% of the number of outstanding Summit Holdings LP units immediately prior to giving effect to any LP units issued in connection with an initial public offering and the Class B unitholders will deliver the remaining 71,428,571 Class B Units of Continental Cement to Summit Holdings in exchange for a payment to be made by Summit Holdings in the amount of $35.0 million in cash and $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-interest bearing notes that will be payable in six aggregate annual installments of $2.5 million, beginning on the first anniversary of the closing of the initial public offering.

(20) Employee Long Term Incentive Plan

Certain employees of the Company hold Class D unit interests in Summit Holdings that provide rights to cash distributions based on a predetermined distribution formula upon the general partner of Summit Holdings declaring a distribution.

Certain of the Class D units vest with the passage of time (time-vesting interests) and the remaining vest when certain investment returns are achieved by the investors of Summit Holdings (performance-vesting interests). Of the time-vesting-interests, 20% vest on the first anniversary of the grant date and the remaining 80% vest monthly over a period of four years following the first anniversary date. Units that are not vested in accordance with their terms within eight years from the grant date are automatically forfeited without consideration.

If an employee leaves the Company, the Company can (1) purchase the vested Class D units for a lump sum payment provided certain conditions have been met or (2) elect to convert all of the employee’s Class D units into a right to receive future distributions capped at a termination amount. The termination amount is determined as an amount equal to the fair market value of the Class D unit holder’s vested interests minus any amounts already distributed to the Class D unit holders respective of those Class D units plus interest on the difference between such fair market value and amounts already distributed. The fair value of the time-vesting Class D units granted in 2014, 2013 and 2012 totaled $0.6 million, $1.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $1,368, $2,786 and $3,761, respectively. The following table summarizes information for the Class D unit interests:

	Time-vesting Interests					Performance-vesting Interests
	Number of units			Weighted average grant- date fair value per unit		Number of units			Weighted average grant- date fair value per unit
Beginning balance—December 28, 2013		1,819		$	2,929		4,877		$	2,928
Granted		410			1,368		533			1,956
Vested		(1,070	)		3,553		—			—
Cancelled		(280	)		3,938		(48	)		1,388
Balance—December 27, 2014		879			2,374		5,362		$	2,845

The estimated fair value at December 27, 2014 of shares vested during 2014 was $1.5 million. As of December 27, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the cumulative amount of units vested totaled 3,321 and 2,531, respectively. The fair value of the Class D units is estimated as of the grant date using Monte Carlo simulations,

F-32

which requires the input of subjective assumptions, including the expected volatility and the expected term. The following table presents the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of grants in 2014, 2013 and 2012:

	2014	2013	2012
Class D Units
Risk-free interest rate	0.50% - 0.68%	0.50%	1.62%
Dividend yield	None	None	None
Volatility	58%	58%	47%
Expected term	3 - 4 years	4 years	6 - 8 years

The risk-free rate is based on the yield at the date of grant of a U.S. Treasury security with a maturity period approximating the expected term. As Summit Holdings has not historically and does not plan to issue regular dividends, a dividend yield of zero was used. The volatility assumption is based on reported data of a peer group of publically traded companies for which historical information was available adjusted for the Company’s capital structure. The expected term is based on expectations about future exercises and represents the period of time that the units granted are expected to be outstanding.

Compensation expense for time-vesting interests granted is based on the grant date fair value. The Company recognizes compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the service period, which is generally the vesting period of the award. A forfeiture rate assumption is factored into the compensation cost based on historical forfeitures. Compensation expense for performance-vesting interests would be recognized based on the grant date fair value. However, no compensation expense has been recognized for the performance-vesting interests, as management does not believe it is currently probable that certain investment returns, the performance criteria, will be achieved.

Share-based compensation expense, which is recognized in general and administrative expenses, totaled $2.2 million, $2.3 million and $2.5 million in the years ended December 27, 2014, December 28, 2013 and December 29, 2012, respectively. As of December 27, 2014, unrecognized compensation cost totaled $3.1 million. The weighted average remaining contractual term over which the unrecognized compensation cost is to be recognized is 1.7 years as of year-end 2014.

(21) Segment Information

The Company has three operating segments: the Central; West; and East regions, which are its reportable segments. These segments are consistent with the Company’s management reporting structure. The operating results of each segment are regularly reviewed and evaluated by the Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). The CODM primarily evaluates the performance of its segments and allocates resources to them based on a segment profit metric that we call Adjusted EBITDA, which is computed as earnings from continuing operations before interest, taxes, depreciation, depletion, amortization, accretion and goodwill impairment. In addition, certain items such as management fees are excluded from the calculation of segment profit.

Each region has several acquired subsidiaries that are engaged in various activities including quarry mining, aggregate production and contracting. Assets employed by segment include assets directly identified with those operations. Corporate assets consist primarily of cash, property, plant and equipment for corporate operations and other assets not directly identifiable with a reportable business segment. The accounting policies applicable to each segment are consistent with those used in the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Tables in thousands)

1. SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Summit Materials, LLC (“Summit LLC” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a vertically integrated, construction materials company. The Company is engaged in the production and sale of aggregates, cement, ready-mixed concrete, asphalt paving mix and concrete products and owns and operates quarries, sand and gravel pits, two cement plants, cement distribution terminals, ready-mixed concrete plants, asphalt plants and landfill sites. It is also engaged in paving and related services. The Company is organized by geographic region and has three operating segments, which are also its reporting segments: the West; Central; and East regions.

Substantially all of the Company’s products and services are produced, consumed and performed outdoors, primarily in the spring, summer and fall. Seasonal changes and other weather-related conditions can affect the production and sales volumes of its products and delivery of services. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period are typically not indicative of the results expected for the full year. Furthermore, the Company’s sales and earnings are sensitive to national, regional and local economic conditions and to cyclical changes in construction spending, among other factors.

Summit LLC is a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Summit Materials Holdings L.P. (“Summit Holdings”), whose primary owners are Summit Materials, Inc. (“Summit Inc.”) and certain investment funds affiliated with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. and Silverhawk Summit, L.P. (collectively, the “Sponsors”). Summit Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on September 23, 2014 to be a holding company. Its sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in Summit Holdings. Pursuant to a reorganization into a holding company structure (the “Reorganization”) in connection with Summit Inc.’s March 2015 initial public offering, Summit Inc. became a holding corporation operating and controlling all of the business and affairs of Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries, including Summit LLC.

Initial Public Offering—Summit Inc. commenced operations on March 11, 2015 upon the pricing of the initial public offering of its Class A common stock (“IPO”). Summit Inc. raised $433.0 million, net of underwriting discounts, through the issuance of 25,555,555 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $18.00 per share. Summit Inc. used the offering proceeds to purchase a number of newly-issued Class A Units (“LP Units”) from Summit Holdings equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued to the public. Summit Inc. caused Summit Holdings to use these proceeds: (i) to redeem $288.2 million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 10 ¹/₂% Senior Notes due January 31, 2020 (“2020 Notes”); (ii) to purchase 71,428,571 Class B Units of Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. (“Continental Cement”); (iii) to pay a one-time termination fee of $13.8 million primarily to affiliates of the Sponsors in connection with the termination of a transaction and management fee agreement; and (iv) for general corporate purposes. The $288.2 million redemption of 2020 Notes was completed in the second quarter of 2015 at a redemption price equal to par plus an applicable premium of $38.2 million plus $5.2 million of accrued and unpaid interest.

Follow-On Offering—On August 11, 2015, Summit Inc. raised $555.8 million, net of underwriting discounts, through the issuance of 22,425,000 shares of Class A common stock at a public offering price of $25.75 per share. Summit Inc. used these proceeds to purchase 3,750,000 newly-issued LP Units from Summit Holdings and 18,675,000 LP Units from certain of our pre-IPO owners, at a purchase price per LP Unit equal to the public offering price per share of Class A common stock, less underwriting discounts and commissions. Summit Holdings used the proceeds from the 3,750,000 newly-issued LP Units to pay the deferred purchase price of $80.0 million related to the July 17, 2015 acquisition of a cement plant and a

quarry in Davenport, Iowa, and seven cement terminals along the Mississippi River (the “Davenport Assets”) and for general corporate purposes.

Basis of Presentation—These unaudited consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 27, 2014. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those consolidated financial statements.

Management believes that these consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments, normal and recurring in nature, that are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of September 26, 2015, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company’s fiscal year is based on a 52-53 week year with each quarter composed of 13 weeks ending on a Saturday. The 53-week year occurs approximately once every seven years and will occur in 2015. The additional week in the 53-week year will be included in the fourth quarter.

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Summit LLC and its subsidiaries, including noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries represent a 20% ownership in Ohio Valley Asphalt, LLC and, prior to the IPO and concurrent purchase of the noncontrolling interests of Continental Cement, a 30% redeemable ownership in Continental Cement.

Use of Estimates—Preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Such estimates include the valuation of accounts receivable, inventories, goodwill, intangibles and other long-lived assets, pension and other postretirement obligations and asset retirement obligations. Estimates also include revenue earned on contracts and costs to complete contracts. Most of the Company’s paving and related services are performed under fixed unit-price contracts with state and local governmental entities. Management regularly evaluates its estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results can differ significantly from estimates made. Changes in estimates, including those resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment, are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the change in estimate occurs.

Business and Credit Concentrations—The Company’s operations are conducted primarily across 18 U.S. states and in British Columbia, Canada, with the most significant revenue generated in Texas, Kansas, Kentucky, Utah and Missouri. The Company’s accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due from customers within these areas. Therefore, collection of these accounts is dependent on the economic conditions in the aforementioned states, as well as specific situations affecting individual customers. Credit granted within the Company’s trade areas has been granted to many customers, and management does not

F-51

(Tables in thousands)

believe that a significant concentration of credit exists with respect to any individual customer or group of customers. No single customer accounted for more than 10% of total revenue in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014.

Fair Value Measurements—Certain acquisitions made by the Company require the payment of contingent amounts of purchase consideration. These payments are contingent on specified operating results being achieved in periods subsequent to the acquisition and will only be made if earn-out thresholds are achieved. Contingent consideration obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period. Any adjustments to fair value are recognized in earnings in the period identified. In the third quarter of 2015, the Company entered into interest rate derivatives on $200.0 million of its term loan borrowings to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and will be subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The fair value of contingent consideration and derivatives as of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014 was:

	September 26, 2015		December 27, 2014
Current portion of derivatives and acquisition-related liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$	4,559	$	2,375
Cash flow hedge		114
Derivatives and acquisition- related liabilities:
Contingent consideration	$	2,711	$	5,379
Cash flow hedge		897

The fair value of contingent consideration was based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including projected probability-weighted cash payments and an 11.0% discount rate, which reflects a market discount rate. Changes in fair value may occur as a result of a change in actual or projected cash payments, the probability weightings applied by the Company to projected payments or a change in the discount rate. Significant increases or decreases in any of these inputs in isolation could result in a lower, or higher, fair value measurement. The fair value of the derivatives are based on observable, or Level 2, inputs such as interest rates, bond yields and prices in inactive markets. There were no material valuation adjustments in the three or nine months ended September 26, 2015 or September 27, 2014.

Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments include debt and certain acquisition-related liabilities (deferred consideration and noncompete obligations). The carrying value and fair value of these financial instruments as of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014 was:

	September 26, 2015				December 27, 2014
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Level 2
Long-term debt(1)	$	1,155,557	$	1,156,193	$	1,101,873	$	1,064,917
Level 3
Current portion of deferred consideration and noncompete obligations(2)		13,132		13,132		16,027		16,027
Long term portion of deferred consideration and noncompete obligations(3)		30,609		30,609		37,357		37,357

(1) $8.1 million and $5.3 million included in current portion of debt as of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively. Excludes $60.0 million outstanding on the revolving credit facility as of September 26, 2015.

(2) Included in current portion of acquisition-related liabilities on the balance sheet.

(3) Included in acquisition-related liabilities on the balance sheet.

The fair value of debt was determined based on observable, or Level 2 inputs, such as interest rates, bond yields and quoted prices in inactive markets. The fair values of the deferred consideration and noncompete obligations were determined based on unobservable, or Level 3, inputs, including the cash payment terms in the purchase agreements and a discount rate reflecting the Company’s credit risk.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest— On March 17, 2015, upon the consummation of the IPO and the transactions contemplated by a contribution and purchase agreement entered into with the holders of all of the outstanding Class B Units of Continental Cement, Continental Cement became a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Summit LLC. The noncontrolling interests of Continental Cement were acquired for aggregate consideration of $64.1 million, consisting of $35.0 million of cash, 1,029,183 shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock and $15.0 million aggregate principal amount of non-interest bearing notes payable in six annual installments of $2.5 million, beginning on March 17, 2016. The notes payable is a liability of Summit Holdings and, is therefore not included in the liabilities of Summit LLC.

New Accounting Standards — In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03,Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which changes the presentation of debt issuance costs in financial statements. Under the ASU, an entity will present such costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset. Amortization of the costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The guidance will be applied retrospectively to all prior periods (i.e., the balance sheet for each period will be adjusted). Had the Company adopted this guidance as of the current period, both Other Assets (noncurrent) and Long-term Debt as of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, would have decreased by $8.8 million and $16.8 million, respectively.

F-53

(Tables in thousands)

In April 2015, the FASB issued a new accounting standard, ASU 2015-04,Practical Expedient for the Measurement Date of an Employer’s Defined Benefit Obligation and Plan Assets, which gives an employer whose fiscal year-end does not coincide with a calendar month-end (e.g., an entity that has a 52- or 53-week fiscal year) the ability, as a practical expedient, to measure defined benefit retirement obligations and related plan assets as of the month-end that is closest to its fiscal year-end. The ASU is effective for public business entities for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted, and the ASU should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material effect on its financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued a new accounting standard to improve and converge the financial reporting requirements for revenue from contracts with customers. ASU No. 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers, prescribes a five-step model for revenue recognition that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP. The ASU will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and provides that an entity recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. In July 2015, the FASB postponed the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year to the first quarter of 2018. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than 2017. Management is currently assessing the effect that the adoption of this standard will have on the consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications— Certain amounts in the prior year have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

2. REORGANIZATION

Prior to the IPO and Reorganization, the capital structure of Summit Holdings consisted of six different classes of limited partnership interests (Class A-1, Class A-2, Class B-1, Class C, Class D-1 and Class D-2), each of which was subject to unique distribution rights. There were no outstanding Class A-2 interests. In connection with the IPO and the Reorganization, the limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings was amended and restated to, among other things, modify its capital structure by creating a single new class of units (the “LP Units”), referred to as the “Reclassification.” Immediately following the Reclassification, 69,007,297 LP Units were outstanding. In addition, in substitution for part of the economic benefit of the Class C and Class D interests that was not reflected in the conversion of such interests to LP Units, warrants were issued to holders of Class C interests to purchase an aggregate of 160,333 shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock, and options were issued to holders of Class D interests to purchase an aggregate of 4,358,842 shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock (“leverage restoration options”). The exercise price of the warrants and leverage restoration options is the IPO price of $18.00 per share. In conjunction with the Reclassification of the equity-based awards, the Company recognized a $14.5 million modification charge in general and administrative costs.

The leverage restoration options were granted under the Summit Materials, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Incentive Plan”). The leverage restoration options that correlate to time-vesting interests vest over four years, beginning on the Reclassification date and the leverage restoration options that

(Tables in thousands)

correlate to performance-vesting interests vest only when both the relevant return multiple is achieved and a four year time-vesting condition is satisfied. The time-based vesting condition for both the time-vesting and performance-vesting interests will be satisfied with respect to 25% of the performance-vesting options on each of the first four anniversaries of the Reclassification date, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

The Company also granted 240,000 options to purchase shares of Summit Inc.’s Class A common stock under the Omnibus Incentive Plan to certain employees some of whom had not previously been granted equity-based interests. These stock options have an exercise price of $18.00 per share, the IPO price, and are subject to a time-based vesting condition that will be satisfied with respect to 25% of the award on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date, subject to the employee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

3. ACQUISITIONS

On July 17, 2015, the Company acquired the Davenport Assets for a purchase price of $450.0 million in cash and a cement distribution terminal in Bettendorf, Iowa. The operating results of the acquired business have been included in the Central region’s results of operations since the date of the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at their acquisition-date fair value. Goodwill recognized in connection with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the expected profitability, assembled workforces and operational infrastructure of the acquired business and the synergies expected to result after its integration. The Davenport Assets were immediately integrated into the Company’s existing cement operations such that it is not practicable to report revenue and net income separately for the Davenport Assets.

Pro Forma Financial Information (unaudited)— The following unaudited supplemental pro forma information presents the financial results as if the Davenport Assets had been acquired on the first day of the 2014 fiscal year. This supplemental pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes and does not purport to be indicative of what would have occurred had the acquisition been made on the first day of the preceding fiscal year, nor is it indicative of any future results. The pro forma adjustments include a reduction of transaction costs of $6.5 million and additional depreciation, depletion, amortization and accretion of $7.5 million.

Senior Notes—The 2020 Notes were issued under an indenture dated January 30, 2012 (as amended and supplemented, the “2012 Indenture”) by Summit LLC and Summit Materials Finance Corp. (collectively, the “Issuers”). The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, Summit LLC and its restricted subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends, redeem stock or make other distributions, make certain investments, sell or transfer certain assets, create liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, and designate subsidiaries as unrestricted subsidiaries. The 2012 Indenture also contains customary events of default. Interest on the 2020 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears. On September 8, 2014 and January 17, 2014, the Issuers issued an additional $115.0 million and $260.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of 2020 Notes (the “Additional Notes”), receiving proceeds of $409.3 million, before payment of fees and expenses and including an aggregate $34.3 million premium. The proceeds from the sale of the Additional Notes were used for the purchases of acquisitions, to make payments on the revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Additional Notes are treated as a single series with the $250.0 million of 2020 Notes issued in January 2012 (the “Existing Notes”) and have substantially the same terms as those of the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes are treated as one class under the 2012 Indenture.

The Issuers issued $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% senior notes due July 15, 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) under an indenture dated July 28, 2015 (as amended and supplemented, the “2015 Indenture”). The net proceeds from the 2023 Notes, with proceeds from the refinancing of the term loan described below, were used to pay the $370.0 million initial purchase price for the Davenport Assets and to redeem $183.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes and pay related fees and expenses. The 2015 Indenture contains covenants and events of default generally consistent with the 2012 Indenture. The 2023 Notes were issued at 100% of their par value. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year commencing on January 15, 2016. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under both indentures, as applicable.

In April and August 2015, using proceeds from the IPO and the refinancing of the term loan described below, $288.2 million and $183.0 million, respectively, aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2020 Notes were redeemed at a price equal to par plus an applicable premium. As a result of the redemptions, net charges of $14.1 million and $45.4 million were recognized in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015, respectively. The fees included $18.2 million and $56.4 million for the applicable prepayment premium and $2.8 million and $7.5 million for the write-off of deferred financing fees, partially offset by $6.9 million and $18.5 million of net benefit from the write-off of the original issuance net premium in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities— Summit LLC has credit facilities that provide for term loans in an aggregate amount of $650.0 million and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount of $235.0 million (the “Senior Secured Credit Facilities”). Under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, required principal repayments of 0.25% of term debt are due on the last business day of each March, June, September and December. The unpaid principal balance is due in full on the maturity date, which is July 17, 2022.

On July 17, 2015, Summit LLC refinanced its term loan under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (the “Refinancing”). The Refinancing, among other things: (i) reduced the applicable margins used to calculate interest rates for term loans under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities to 3.25% for LIBOR rate loans and 2.25% for base rate loans, subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% (and one 25 basis point step down upon

Summit LLC achieving a certain first lien net leverage ratio); (ii) increased term loans borrowed under our term loan facility from $422.0 million to an aggregate $650.0 million; and (iii) created additional flexibility under the financial maintenance covenants, which are tested quarterly, by increasing the applicable maximum Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities).

On March 11, 2015, Summit LLC entered into Amendment No. 3 to the credit agreement governing the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, which became effective on March 17, 2015 upon the consummation of the IPO. The amendment: (i) increased the size of the revolving credit facility from $150.0 million to $235.0 million; (ii) extended the maturity date of the revolving credit facility to March 11, 2020; (iii) amended certain covenants; and (iv) permits periodic tax distributions as contemplated in a tax receivable agreement, dated as of March 11, 2015, with Summit Holdings. As a result of this amendment, a charge of $0.4 million of deferred financing was recognized in the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

The revolving credit facility bears interest per annum equal to, at Summit LLC’s option, either (i) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate of Bank of America, N.A. and (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable margin of 2.5% for base rate loans or (ii) a LIBOR rate determined by reference to Reuters prior to the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs plus an applicable margin of 3.5% for LIBOR rate loans. The interest rate in effect at September 26, 2015 was 3.6%.

There were $60.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility as of September 26, 2015, leaving remaining borrowing capacity of $150.6 million, which is net of $24.4 million of outstanding letters of credit. The outstanding letters of credit are renewed annually and support required bonding on construction projects and the Company’s insurance liabilities.

Summit LLC’s Consolidated First Lien Net Leverage Ratio, as such term is defined in the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, should be no greater than 4.75:1.0 as of each quarter-end. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, Summit LLC was in compliance with all covenants.

Summit LLC’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiary companies, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions, are named as subsidiary guarantors of the 2020 Notes, the 2023 Notes and the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. In addition, Summit LLC has pledged substantially all of its assets as collateral, subject to certain exclusions and exceptions, for the Senior Secured Credit Facilities.

10. INCOME TAXES

Summit LLC is a limited liability company and passes its tax attributes for federal and state tax purposes to its parent company and is generally not subject to federal or state income tax. However, certain subsidiary entities file federal and state income tax returns due to their status as C corporations. The provision for income taxes is primarily composed of federal, state and local income taxes for the subsidiary entities that have C corporation status.

The effective income tax rate for these entities differs from the statutory federal rate primarily due to (1) tax depletion expense in excess of the expense recorded under U.S. GAAP, (2) state income taxes and the effect of graduated tax rates and (3) certain non-recurring items, such as differences in the treatment of transaction costs, which are often not deductible for tax purposes.

As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, the Company has not recognized any liabilities for uncertain tax positions. The Company records interest and penalties as a component of the income tax provision. No material interest or penalties were recognized in income tax expense during the three or nine months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014.

Tax Distributions – The holders of Summit Holdings’ LP Units, including Summit Inc., incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any taxable income of Summit Holdings. The limited partnership agreement of Summit Holdings provides for pro rata cash distributions (“tax distributions”) to the holders of the LP Units in an amount generally calculated to provide each holder of LP Units with sufficient cash to cover its tax liability in respect of the LP Units. In general, these tax distributions are computed based on Summit Holdings’ estimated taxable income allocated to each holder of LP Units multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate applicable to an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York (or a corporate resident in certain circumstances). Summit LLC paid distributions totaling $23.5 million and $39.9 million, of which $14.6 million and $26.4 million was paid to Summit Holdings, who, in turn, distributed the funds to its partners, other than Summit Inc., and $8.9 million and $13.5 million was paid to Summit Inc., in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015, respectively.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to certain legal actions arising from the ordinary course of business activities. Accruals are recorded when the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. While the ultimate results of claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management expects that the ultimate resolution of all pending or threatened claims and litigation will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity. The Company records legal fees as incurred.

Litigation and Claims—The Company is obligated under an indemnification agreement entered into with the sellers of Harper Contracting, Inc., Harper Sand and Gravel, Inc., Harper Excavating, Inc., Harper Ready Mix Company, Inc. and Harper Investments, Inc. (collectively, “Harper”) for the sellers’ 40% ownership interests in a joint venture agreement. The Company has the rights to any benefits under the joint venture as well as the assumption of any obligations, but does not own equity interests in the joint venture. The joint venture incurred significant losses on a highway project in Utah, which resulted in requests for funding from the joint venture partners and, ultimately, from the Company. Through September 26, 2015, the Company

F-62

(Tables in thousands)

has funded $8.8 million, of which $4.0 million was funded in 2012 and $4.8 million was funded in 2011. On April 2, 2015, the Utah Department of Transportation filed suit in the Fourth District Court of Utah County, Utah against the joint venture and the parties to the joint venture seeking damages of at least $29.4 million. As of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, an accrual of $4.3 million was recorded in other noncurrent liabilities as management’s best estimate of loss related to this matter.

During the ordinary course of business, there may be revisions to project costs and conditions that can give rise to change orders on construction contracts. Revisions can also result in claims made against a customer or subcontractor to recover project variances that have not been satisfactorily addressed through change orders with a customer. The Company had unapproved change orders and claims of $1.2 million in accounts receivable and $3.9 million ($1.2 million in accounts receivable, $0.5 million in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and $2.2 million in other assets) as of September 26, 2015 and December 27, 2014, respectively.

Environmental Remediation—The Company’s operations are subject to and affected by federal, state, provincial and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, health and safety and other regulatory matters. These operations require environmental operating permits, which are subject to modification, renewal and revocation. The Company regularly monitors and reviews its operations, procedures and policies for compliance with these laws and regulations. Despite these compliance efforts, risk of environmental liability is inherent in the operation of the Company’s business, as it is with other companies engaged in similar businesses, and there can be no assurance that environmental liabilities or noncompliance will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity in the future.

Other—In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various firm purchase commitments for certain raw materials and services. The terms of the firm purchase commitments are generally less than one year. Management does not expect any significant changes in the market value of these goods and services during the commitment period that would have a material adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has three operating segments, which are its reportable segments: the West; Central; and East regions. These segments are consistent with the Company’s management reporting structure.

14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Under the terms of a transaction and management fee agreement between Summit Holdings and Blackstone Management Partners L.L.C. (“BMP”), whose affiliates include controlling stockholders of Summit Inc., BMP provided monitoring, advisory and consulting services to the Company through March 17, 2015. Under the terms of the agreement, BMP was permitted to assign, and had assigned, a portion of the fees to which it was entitled to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to certain other equity investors.

The management fee was calculated based on the greater of $300,000 or 2.0% of the Company’s annual consolidated profit, as defined in the agreement, and is included in general and administrative expenses. The Company incurred management fees totaling $1.0 million during the period between December 28, 2014 and March 17, 2015 and $1.3 million and $2.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, respectively. During these periods, the Company paid immaterial amounts to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to other equity investors.

Also under the terms of the transaction and management fee agreement, BMP undertook financial and structural analysis, due diligence investigations, corporate strategy and other advisory services and negotiation assistance related to acquisitions for which the Company paid BMP transaction fees equal to 1.0% of the aggregate enterprise value of any acquired entity or, if such transaction was structured as an asset purchase or sale, 1.0% of the consideration paid for or received in respect of the assets acquired or disposed. The Company paid BMP $0.6 million and $2.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 27, 2014, respectively. During these periods, the Company paid immaterial amounts to Silverhawk Summit, L.P. and to other equity investors.

In addition to the transaction and management fees paid to BMP, the Company reimburses BMP for direct expenses incurred, which were not material in the three and nine months ended September 26, 2015 and September 27, 2014.

On July 17, 2015, the Company purchased the Davenport Assets from Lafarge North America Inc. for a purchase price of $450.0 million in cash and a cement distribution terminal in Bettendorf, Iowa. At closing, $370.0 million of the purchase price was paid, and the remaining $80.0 million was paid on August 13, 2015. Summit Holdings entered into a commitment letter dated April 16, 2015, with Blackstone Capital Partners V L.P. (“BCP”) for equity financing up to $90.0 million in the form of a preferred equity interest (the “Equity Commitment Financing”), which would have been used to pay the $80.0 million deferred purchase price if other financing was not attained by December 31, 2015. For the Equity Commitment Financing, the Company paid a $1.8 million commitment fee to BCP in the nine months ended September 26, 2015.

Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P., an affiliate of BMP, served as an initial purchaser of $5.75 million and $13.0 million principal amount of the 2020 Notes issued in September 2014 and January 2014, respectively, and received compensation in connection therewith.

In the nine months ended September 27, 2014, the Company sold certain assets associated with the production of concrete blocks, including inventory and equipment, to a related party for $2.3 million.

15. GUARANTOR AND NON-GUARANTOR FINANCIAL INFORMATION

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Of Lafarge North America Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined financial statements of Lafarge Target Business (Carve-Out of Certain Operations of Lafarge North America Inc.), which comprise the combined balance sheets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in net parent investment and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to the combined financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of Lafarge Target Business at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

All intercompany balances and transactions within Lafarge Target Business have been eliminated. Transactions and balances between Lafarge Target Business and Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries are reflected as related-party transactions within these financial statements.

The accompanying combined financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses that are specifically identifiable to Lafarge Target Business. In addition, certain costs related to Lafarge Target Business have been allocated from the Parent. Those are derived from multiple levels of the organization including geographic business unit expenses, product line expenses, shared corporate expenses, and fees from the Group holding company. Lafarge Target Business receives services and support functions from Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries, inclusive of services and support functions performed by Lafarge S.A. for Lafarge NA. Lafarge Target Business’s operations are dependent upon Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries’ ability to perform these services and support functions. The costs associated with these services and support functions (indirect costs, including those charged by Lafarge S.A. to Lafarge NA) have been allocated to Lafarge Target Business using the most meaningful respective allocation methodologies. These allocated costs are primarily related to corporate administrative expenses, reorganization costs, employee related costs including pensions and other benefits for corporate and shared employees, and rental and usage fees for shared assets for the following functional groups: information technology, accounting and finance services, marketing and contract support, customer support, treasury, facility, and other corporate and infrastructural services. Income taxes have been accounted for in these financial statements as described herein and in Note 8.

The Business utilizes Lafarge NA’s centralized processes and systems for cash management, payroll, purchasing, and distribution. As a result, substantially all cash received by the Business was deposited in and commingled with Lafarge NA’s general corporate funds and is not specifically allocated to Lafarge Target Business. The net results of these cash transactions between the Business and Lafarge NA are reflected as net parent investment within equity in the accompanying balance sheets. In addition, the net parent investment

represents Lafarge NA’s interest in the recorded net assets of Lafarge Target Business and represents the cumulative net investment by Lafarge NA in Lafarge Target Business through the dates presented, inclusive of cumulative operating results. Net distributions to Parent within the financing activities of the Statement of Cash flows include changes in intercompany amounts paid to and due from Parent.

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the combined financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The expenses and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered by Lafarge NA to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by Lafarge Target Business during the periods presented relative to the total costs incurred by Lafarge NA. However, the amounts recorded for these transactions and allocations are not necessarily representative of the amount that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Business been an entity that operated independently of Lafarge NA. Consequently, future results of operations, should Lafarge Target Business be separated from Lafarge NA, will include costs and expenses that may be materially different than Lafarge Target Business’s historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. Accordingly, the financial statements for these periods are not indicative of Lafarge Target Business’s future results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Cash

Treasury activities, including activities related to Lafarge Target Business, are centralized by Lafarge NA such that cash collections are automatically distributed to Lafarge and reflected as net parent investment. As a result of this automatic distribution to Lafarge, Lafarge Target Business does not hold any cash.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Business to concentrations of credit risk are primarily receivables. The Business performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and generally requires no collateral from its customers. The allowances for non-collection of receivables are based upon analysis of economic trends in the construction industry, detailed analysis of the expected collectability of accounts receivable that are past due, and the expected collectability of overall receivables.

Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The majority of Lafarge Target Business’s U.S. cement inventories, other than maintenance and operating supplies, are stated at last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost. All other inventories are valued at average cost.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of property, plant, and equipment is computed for financial reporting purposes using thestraight-line method over the

F-83

LAFARGE TARGET BUSINESS

(Carve-Out of Certain Operations of Lafarge North America Inc.)

Notes to Combined Financial Statements—(Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

estimated useful lives of the assets. These lives range from 3 years on light mobile equipment to 30 years on certain buildings. Buildings have lives generally ranging from 20 to 30 years. Plant machinery and equipment have useful lives generally ranging from 20 to 30 years. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Substantially all of Lafarge Target Business’s depreciation expenses are recorded in cost of goods sold.

Goodwill

Lafarge Target Business’s goodwill reflected in these financial statements was allocated to Lafarge Target Business based on the relative fair value of Lafarge Target Business to the fair value of Lafarge NA cement reporting unit. Management’s estimate of the potential sales price of Lafarge Target Business was used as a basis to determine the fair value of Lafarge Target Business. The fair value of Lafarge NA cement reporting unit was derived from the most recent annual goodwill impairment analysis performed by Lafarge NA. A total of $114.6 million in goodwill was allocated to Lafarge Target Business for each of the years presented.

Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of identifiable assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but is evaluated for potential impairment annually and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Business values goodwill in accordance with ASC 350,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (ASC 350). ASC 350 requires goodwill to be either qualitatively or quantitatively assessed for impairment annually (or more frequently if impairment indicators arise).

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets

The Business evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets in accordance with the provisions of ASC 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360). ASC 360 requires thatlong-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets is measured by comparing the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. Such evaluations for impairment are significantly impacted by estimates of future prices for the Business’ products, capital needs, economic trends in the construction sector, and other factors. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Business records its quarry reclamation obligations in accordance with ASC 410,Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations (ASC 410). ASC 410 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. It requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset.

Environmental Remediation Liabilities

When the Business determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters has been incurred, an undiscounted estimate of the required remediation costs is recorded as a liability in the combined

F-84

Notes to Combined Financial Statements—(Continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies—(Continued)

financial statements, without offset of potential insurance recoveries. Costs that extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the safety or efficiency ofcompany-owned assets or are incurred to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. Other environmental costs are expensed when incurred.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is calculated as if Lafarge Target Business completed a separate tax return apart from its Parent, although the Business was included in the Parent’s U.S. federal and state income tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized principally for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts, using currently enacted tax rates. Tax attributes utilized by the Parent are treated as transactions between Lafarge Target Business and the Parent.

Defined Benefit Pension Plans and Other Post-Retirement Benefits

The Lafarge Target Business’s salaried employees and union hourly employees participate in defined benefit pension plans sponsored by the Parent. These plans include other Parent employees that are not employees of the Business. The Parent also provides certain retiree health and life insurance benefits to eligible employees who have retired from the Business. Salaried participants generally become eligible for retiree health care benefits when they retire from active service at age 55 or later. Benefits, eligibility, and cost-sharing provisions for hourly employees vary by location and/or bargaining unit. Generally, the health care plans pay a stated percentage of most medical and dental expenses reduced for any deductible, copayment, and payments made by government programs and other group coverage. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, the Parent allocated approximately $4.0 million, $5.9 million, and $8.0 million of pension and other post-retirement benefits expense to the Business, which has been reflected within costs of goods sold and selling and administrative in the accompanying combined statements of operations. The related pension and post-retirement benefit liability has not been allocated to the Business and has not been presented in the accompanying balance sheets since the obligation is and will remain a liability of the Parent.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of cement and cement-related products is recorded when title and ownership are transferred upon delivery of the products. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling are included in net sales, and costs incurred for shipping and handling are classified as cost of goods sold in the combined statements of operations. The revenues reported in these financial statements relate to specifically identifiable historical activities of the plant, terminals, and other assets that comprise Lafarge Target Business. Lafarge Target Business recognizes revenue for all cement and cement-related products produced at the Davenport plant even if the product is transported and sold through a distribution facility outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business, or sold in markets serviced by sales personnel outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business. Similarly, if a product from a non-Lafarge Target Business plant is sold through a Lafarge Target Business distribution facility or in a Lafarge Target Business market, revenue originating from the transaction remains with the producing facility and is not considered as Lafarge Target Business revenue. Correspondingly, distribution and sales costs for these activities are also allocated to the producing plant.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Effective January 1, 2012, the Business adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires the presentation of the comprehensive income (loss) and its components as part of the financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and other changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Business net income (loss) equals comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, no additional disclosure is presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. ASU 2014-09 will also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2016, and for interim periods therein. Early adoption is not permitted for public entities. Nonpublic entities are required to adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2017, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2018, and may adopt it as early as the public entity effective date. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued an exposure draft of a proposed ASU that would delay by one year the effective date of its new revenue recognition standard for public and nonpublic entities reporting under US GAAP. Entities can transition to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Presently, the Business is assessing what effect the adoption ofASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and accompanying notes.

3. Receivables

Receivables consist of the following:

Trade receivables	$	12,227		$	10,474
Allowances		(734	)		(808	)
Total receivables, net	$	11,493		$	9,666

Consistent with the manner in which revenue is recorded, receivables relate to goods produced at the Lafarge Target Business plant and sold to a third-party customer, even if the product is transported and sold through a distribution facility outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business, or sold in markets serviced by sales personnel outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business. Similarly, if a product from a non-Lafarge Target Business plant is sold through a Lafarge Target Business distribution facility or in a Lafarge Target

3. Receivables—(Continued)

Business market, the receivable originating from the transaction remains with the producing facility and is not considered as a Lafarge Target Business receivable.

Lafarge NA maintains accounts receivable securitization programs in both the U.S. and Canada to provide additional sources of working capital and long-term financing. Under the program, Lafarge NA agrees to sell, on a revolving basis, all of its accounts receivable to wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiaries (the SPS’s), which are consolidated in Lafarge NA consolidated financial statements. The SPS’s in turn enter into agreements with an unrelated third-party commercial paper conduit to acquire long-term financing, using the accounts receivable as collateral. Under the terms of Lafarge NA’s securitization agreement, the company maintains effective control over the assets transferred. In accordance with ASC 860,Transfers and Servicing, the accounts receivable securitization transactions have not been accounted for as sales. The related accounts receivable are included in Lafarge NA financial statements and those directly attributable to Lafarge Target Business have been reflected in these financial statements.

4. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

Inventories valued using the LIFO method are reported net of reserves of $0.8 million and $1.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventory items were $1.7 million and $1.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Consistent with the manner in which revenue is recorded, Lafarge Target Business inventories relate to goods produced by Lafarge Target Business plant and not yet sold to athird-party customer and may be located at Lafarge NA distribution facilities which are not part of Lafarge Target Business.

Depreciation and depletion expense for the years 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $7.2 million, $7.3 million, and $7.2 million, respectively.

6. Goodwill

In accordance with ASC 350, the Business performed the first step of the goodwill impairment test, by comparing the fair value of Lafarge Target Business with the carrying value. The Business completed an assessment as of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 and determined the fair value of Lafarge Target Business exceeded its carrying value. As a result management concluded that there was no goodwill impairment.

The carrying value of goodwill did not change from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014.

7. Accrued and Other Liabilities

Accrued and other liabilities consist of the following:

	December 31
	2014		2013
	(In Thousands)
Suppliers	$	1,365	$	814
Employee-related		1,273		1,080

Total accrued and other liabilities	$	4,441	$	3,537

8. Income Taxes

The components of the income tax provision are as follows:

	December 31
	2014			2013			2012
	(In Thousands)
Current	$	8,273		$	4,033		$	790
Deferred		(475	)		(870	)		485
	$	7,798		$	3,163		$	1,275

The provision for income taxes differs from that which would have resulted from the use of the federal statutory income tax rates primarily as a result of the provision for various state income taxes and the depletion and other net benefits.

The state income taxes impacted such difference for $1.4 million, $0.7 million, and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The depletion and other net benefits impacted such difference for ($1.7) million, ($1.3) million, and ($0.8) million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

8. Income Taxes—(Continued)

Deferred income taxes reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. The significant components of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities included on the combined balance sheets are:

	December 31
	2014			2013
	(In Thousands)
Deferred tax assets:
Allowances and reserves	$	1,051		$	1,095
Total deferred tax assets		1,051			1,095
Deferred tax liabilities:
Depreciation, amortization, and other		(23,390	)		(23,909	)
Total deferred tax liabilities		(23,390	)		(23,909	)
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(22,339	)	$	(22,814	)

Lafarge Target Business’s operating results have historically been included in the Parent’s combined US Federal and state income tax returns. The provisions for income taxes in the combined financial statements have been determined on a separate return basis as if Lafarge Target Business filed its own tax returns. All tax attributes generated by Lafarge Target Business, as calculated on a separate return methodology not used by the Parent historically, will be retained by the Parent. Management considered and weighed the available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of Lafarge Target Business’s deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Business has concluded that all of its deferred tax assets will be utilized against its deferred tax liability, and as such no valuation allowance has been established on such deferred tax assets.

The Business is subject to audit examinations at federal, state, and local levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. The tax matters challenged by the tax authorities are typically complex; therefore, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is subject to uncertainty. The Business does not believe that the carved-out operations gave rise to any material tax exposures and the Business and the Parent did not identify any issues that did not meet the recognition threshold or would be impacted by the measurement provisions of the uncertain tax position guidance.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Business leases certain land, buildings, and equipment. Total expenses under operating leases were $0.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The Business also has noncapital purchase commitments that primarily relate to fuel in the amount of $2.6 million at December 31, 2014. Total expenses under this agreement amounted to $1.4 million, $2.6 million, and $2.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. The table below shows the future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases and purchase commitments at December 31, 2014:

	Year Ended December 31
	2015		2016		2017		2018		2019		Later Years

In the ordinary course of business, the Business executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as sale of a business.

These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Business may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these guarantees and indemnifications are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lafarge Target Business’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new control regulations (NESHAP) aimed at reducing the level of certain emissions from all Portland cement kilns operating in the United States. In late 2010, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and several cement producers, including Lafarge North America (collectively the Cement Parties), sued the EPA asserting that the regulations in the proposed format were invalid and petitioned the United States Court of Appeals—District of Columbia Circuit to void the proposed regulations until corrected by the EPA. In December 2011, the Court ruled that it would not overturn the EPA standards but ordered the EPA to reconsider certain standards and re-issue the NESHAP rules. On April 13, 2012, the EPA entered into a settlement agreement with the Cement Parties. Pursuant to the agreement and following a public comment period, the EPA issued a new final rule that resulted in a compliance extension period until September 2015. Lafarge North America and the Business estimate that capital expenditures Lafarge Target Business will incur to comply with the new EPA Control Regulations in their present form, including money already spent, could be as much as $2.0 million.

When the Business determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters, legal actions, or other contingencies has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred is recorded as a liability in the financial statements. As of December 31, 2014, such liabilities are not material to Lafarge Target Business’s financial statements. While management believes its accruals for such liabilities are adequate, the Business may incur costs in excess of the amounts provided at December 31, 2014.

In the ordinary course of business, the Business is involved in certain legal actions and claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations relating to environmental and other matters. Because such matters are

F-90

Notes to Combined Financial Statements—(Continued)

9. Commitments and Contingencies—(Continued)

subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the total liability for these legal actions and claims cannot be determined with certainty. Management believes that such actions and claims will be resolved without material adverse impact to Lafarge Target Business’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

10. Related-Party Transactions

Allocated Expenses

Lafarge Target Business has been allocated expenses from the Parent of $20.0 million, $22.1 million and $24.5 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. These costs from the Parent are derived from multiple levels of the organization including geographic business unit expenses, product line expenses, shared corporate expenses, and fees from the Group holding company. These allocated costs are primarily related to corporate administrative expenses and reorganization costs, employee related costs including pensions and other benefits for corporate, shared employees, and rental and usage fees for shared assets for the following functional groups: information technology, accounting and finance services, marketing and contract support, customer support, treasury, facility and other corporate and infrastructural services. The costs associated with these services and support functions (indirect costs, including those charged by Lafarge S.A. to Lafarge NA) have been allocated to Lafarge Target Business using the most meaningful respective allocation methodologies. The proportionate tonnage sold by Lafarge Target Business compared to Lafarge NA’s U.S. cement division was used in most instances.

Included in the allocated expenses from the Parent are approximately $4.0 million, $5.9 million, and $8.0 million of pension and other postretirement benefits expense to the Company for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, which has been reflected within cost of goods sold and selling and general administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. Lafarge Target Business’s salaried employees and union hourly employees participate in defined benefit pension plans sponsored by the Parent. These plans include other Parent employees that are not employees of the Business. The Parent also provides certain retiree health and life insurance benefits to eligible employees who have retired from the Business. Salaried participants generally become eligible for retiree health care benefits when they retire from active service at age 55 or later. Benefits, eligibility, and cost-sharing provisions for hourly employees vary by location and/or bargaining unit. Generally, the health care plans pay a stated percentage of most medical and dental expenses reduced for any deductible, copayment, and payments made by government programs and other group coverage. The related pension and postretirement benefit liability has not been allocated to the Business and has not been presented in the accompanying balance sheet since the obligation is and will remain a liability of the Parent.

Sales / Purchases With Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Business purchases products from and sells products to certain Lafarge NA affiliates in which it does not have a controlling interest. Such purchases totaled $3.8 million, $3.6 million, and $3.6 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively; such sales totaled $9.3 million, $10.8 million, and $8.7 million in 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.

11. Subsequent Events

The Business has conducted subsequent events review through May 29, 2015, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements

June 30, 2015

1. Background and Nature of Operations

The accompanying combined financial statements include the historical accounts of the Lafarge Target Business (Lafarge Target Business or the Business) of Lafarge North America Inc. (Lafarge NA or the Parent), which includes one cement manufacturing facility located in Davenport, Iowa. In addition to the Davenport cement plant, Lafarge Target Business includes seven terminals served by the cement plant, which are located in LaCrosse, Wisconsin; Memphis, Tennessee; Minneapolis, Minnesota; New Orleans, Louisiana; Red Rock, Minnesota; Union, Louisiana; and West Des Moines, Iowa. Lafarge NA is a large diversified supplier of aggregate, concrete and concrete products, cement and cement-related products, and other construction materials used for residential, commercial, institutional, and public works construction. Lafarge NA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lafarge S.A. (the Group), which is domiciled in France.

On April 16, 2015, Continental Cement Company, L.L.C. (Continental Cement), Summit Materials, LLC (Summit LLC) and Summit Materials Holdings L.P., each of which is a subsidiary of Summit Materials, Inc., and Lafarge NA entered into an asset purchase agreement (as amended, the Davenport Purchase Agreement), providing for the acquisition of Lafarge Target Business.

In connection with the entry into the Davenport Purchase Agreement, Continental Cement, Summit LLC, Summit Holdings and Lafarge NA entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Bettendorf Purchase Agreement) pursuant to which Continental Cement agreed to convey certain assets to Lafarge NA, including a cement distribution terminal (the Bettendorf Assets) as partial consideration for the consummation of the Davenport Acquisition pursuant to the Davenport Purchase Agreement (the Bettendorf Acquisition).

Both the Davenport Acquisition and the Bettendorf Acquisition closed on July 17, 2015. The total purchase price of the Davenport Assets was $450.0 million in cash plus the Bettendorf Assets. In accordance with the terms of the Davenport Purchase Agreement, Summit LLC paid an initial cash purchase price of $370.0 million upon closing of the Davenport Acquisition. The remaining $80.0 million of the cash purchase price for the Davenport Assets is due by December 31, 2015.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed combined financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Lafarge NA using the historical results of operations and historical cost basis of the assets and liabilities of Lafarge NA that comprise Lafarge Target Business. These financial statements have been prepared solely to demonstrate the Business’s historical results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the indicated periods under Lafarge NA’s management. All intercompany balances and transactions within Lafarge Target Business have been eliminated. Transactions and balances between Lafarge Target Business and Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries are reflected as related-party transactions within these financial statements.

The accompanying condensed combined financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses that are specifically identifiable to Lafarge Target Business. In addition, certain costs related to

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements (continued)

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Lafarge Target Business have been allocated from the Parent. Those are derived from multiple levels of the organization including geographic business unit expenses, product line expenses, shared corporate expenses, and fees from the Group. Lafarge Target Business receives services and support functions from Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries, inclusive of services and support functions performed by Lafarge S.A. for Lafarge NA. Lafarge Target Business’s operations are dependent upon Lafarge NA and its subsidiaries’ ability to perform these services and support functions. The costs associated with these services and support functions (indirect costs, including those charged by Lafarge S.A. to Lafarge NA) have been allocated to Lafarge Target Business using the most meaningful respective allocation methodologies. These allocated costs are primarily related to corporate administrative expenses and reorganization costs, employee related costs, including pensions and other benefits for corporate and shared employees, and rental and usage fees for shared assets for the following functional groups: information technology, accounting and finance services, marketing and contract support, customer support, treasury, facility, and other corporate and infrastructural services.

The Business utilizes Lafarge NA’s centralized processes and systems for cash management, payroll, purchasing and distribution. As a result, all cash received by the Business was deposited in and commingled with Lafarge NA’s general corporate funds and is not specifically allocated to Lafarge Target Business. The net results of these cash transactions between the Business and Lafarge NA are reflected as net parent investment within Equity in the accompanying balance sheets. In addition, the net parent investment represents Lafarge NA’s interest in the recorded net assets of Lafarge Target Business and represents the cumulative net investment by Lafarge NA in Lafarge Target Business through the dates presented, inclusive of cumulative operatingresults. Net contributions from Parent within the financing activities of the Statement of Cash flows include changes in intercompany amounts paid to and due from the Parent.

Management believes the assumptions and allocations underlying the condensed combined financial statements are reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. The expenses and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered by Lafarge NA to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by Lafarge Target Business during the periods presented relative to the total costs incurred by Lafarge NA. However, the amounts recorded for these transactions and allocations are not necessarily representative of the amount that would have been reflected in the financial statements had the Business been an entity that operated independently of Lafarge NA. Consequently, future results of operations, should Lafarge Target Business be separated from Lafarge NA, will include costs and expenses that may be materially different than Lafarge Target Business’s historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Accordingly, the financial statements for these periods are not indicative of the Lafarge Target Business’s future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Management believes that these condensed combined financial statements include all adjustments (which are normal and recurring in nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Business and results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015. Seasonal changes and other weather related conditions can affect the production and sales volumes of Lafarge Target Business’s products. Therefore, the financial results for any interim period do not necessarily indicate the results expected for the year.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

These unaudited condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Lafarge Target Business’s audited combined financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2014. Lafarge Target Business has continued to follow the accounting policies including the basis of presentation set forth in those combined financial statements.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of cement and cement-related products is recorded when title and ownership are transferred upon delivery of the products. Amounts billed to a customer in a sales transaction related to shipping and handling are included in net sales, and costs incurred for shipping and handling are classified as cost of goods sold in the combined statements of operations. The revenues reported in these condensed combined financial statements relate to specifically identifiable historical activities of the plant, terminals, and other assets that comprise Lafarge Target Business. Lafarge Target Business recognizes revenue for all cement and cement-related products produced at the Davenport plant even if the product is transported and sold through a distribution facility outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business, or sold in markets serviced by sales personnel outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business. Similarly, if a product from a non-Lafarge Target Business plant is sold through a Lafarge Target Business distribution facility or in a Lafarge Target Business market, revenue originating from the transaction remains with the producing facility and is not considered as Lafarge Target Business revenue. Correspondingly, distribution and sales costs for these activities are also allocated to the producing plant.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Effective January 1, 2012, the Business adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-05,Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires the presentation of the comprehensive income (loss) and its components as part of the financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) comprises net income (loss) and other changes in equity that are excluded from net income (loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, the Business’s net income (loss) equals comprehensive income (loss) and, accordingly, no additional disclosure is presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 will eliminate transaction- and industry-specific revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP and replace it with a principle-based approach for determining revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 will require that companies recognize revenue based on the value of transferred goods or services as they occur in the contract. ASU 2014-09 will also require additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The new standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. Nonpublic entities are required to adopt the new guidance for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and may adopt it as early as for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. Entities can transition

to the standard either retrospectively or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. Presently, the Business is assessing what effect the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its financial statements and accompanying notes.

3. Receivables

Receivables consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
	(In Thousands)
Trade receivables	$	20,252		$	12,227
Allowances		(807	)		(734	)
Total receivables, net	$	19,445		$	11,493

Consistent with the manner in which revenue is recorded, receivables relate to goods produced at the Lafarge Target Business plant and sold to a third-party customer, even if the product is transported and sold through a distribution facility outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business, or sold in markets serviced by sales personnel outside of the scope of Lafarge Target Business. Similarly, if a product from a non-Lafarge Target Business plant is sold through a Lafarge Target Business distribution facility or in a Lafarge Target Business market, the receivable originating from the transaction remains with the producing facility and is not considered as a Lafarge Target Business receivable.

Lafarge NA maintains accounts receivable securitization programs in both the U.S and Canada to provide additional sources of working capital and long-term financing. Under the program, Lafarge NA agrees to sell, on a revolving basis, all of its accounts receivable to wholly-owned, special purpose subsidiaries (the SPS’s), which are consolidated in Lafarge NA consolidated financial statements. The SPS’s in turn enter into agreements with an unrelated third-party commercial paper conduit to acquire long-term financing, using the accounts receivable as collateral. Under the terms of Lafarge NA’s securitization agreement, the company maintains effective control over the assets transferred. In accordance with ASC 860,Transfers and Servicing, the accounts receivable securitization transactions have not been accounted for as sales. The related accounts receivable are included in Lafarge NA financial statements and those directly attributable to Lafarge Target Business have been reflected in these combined condensed financial statements.

4. Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(In Thousands)
Finished products	$	14,459	$	7,875

4. Inventories (continued)

Inventories valued using the LIFO method are reported net of reserves of $0.8 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014. Reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventory items were $2.3 million and $1.7 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Consistent with the manner in which revenue is recorded, Lafarge Target Business finished products relate to goods produced by Lafarge Target Business plant and not yet sold to a third-party customer and may be located at Lafarge NA distribution facilities which are not part of Lafarge Target Business.

5. Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
	(In Thousands)
Land	$	3,758		$	3,650
Buildings, machinery, and equipment		238,823			236,617
Construction in progress		4,843			4,261
Property, plant, and equipment, at cost		247,424			244,528
Accumulated depreciation and depletion		(165,993	)		(162,723	)
Total property, plant, and equipment, net	$	81,431		$	81,805

Depreciation and depletion expense for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, was $3.6 million.

6. Accrued and Other Liabilities

Accrued and other liabilities consist of the following:

	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(In Thousands)
Suppliers	$	617	$	1,365
Employee-related		647		1,273
Taxes payable		1,020		499
Rebates		878		1,304
Total accrued and other liabilities	$	3,162	$	4,441

7. Income Taxes

The Business is required at the end of each interim reporting period to make its best estimate of the annual effective tax rate, which was determined as if the Business completed a separate return apart from its Parent, for the full fiscal year and use that rate to provide for income taxes on a current year-to-date basis.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements (continued)

7. Income Taxes (continued)

The Business is subject to audit examinations at federal, state and local levels by tax authorities in those jurisdictions. The tax matters challenged by the tax authorities are typically complex; therefore, the ultimate outcome of these challenges is subject to uncertainty. The Business does not believe that the carved-out operations gave rise to any material tax exposures and the Business and the Parent did not identify any issues that did not meet the recognition threshold or would be impacted by the measurement provisions of the uncertain tax position guidance.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

The Business leases certain land, buildings, and equipment. Total expenses under operating leases were $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Business also has noncapital purchase commitments that primarily relate to fuel in the amount of $2.1 million at June 30, 2015. Total expenses under this agreement for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, amounted to $1.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The table below shows the future minimum lease payments due under non-cancelable operating leases and purchase commitments at June 30, 2015:

	Year Ended December 31
	Remaining 2015		2016		2017		2018		2019		Later Years
	(In Thousands)
Operating leases	$	284	$	459	$	465	$	472	$	479	$	857
Purchase commitments		2,103		—		—		—		—		—
Total commitments	$	2,387	$	459	$	465	$	472	$	479	$	857

In the ordinary course of business, the Business executes contracts involving indemnifications standard in the industry and indemnifications specific to a transaction such as sale of a business. These indemnifications might include claims relating to any of the following: environmental and tax matters; intellectual property rights; governmental regulations and employment-related matters; customer, supplier, and other commercial contractual relationships; and financial matters. While the maximum amount to which the Business may be exposed under such agreements cannot be estimated, it is the opinion of management that these guarantees and indemnifications are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on Lafarge Target Business’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new control regulations (NESHAP) aimed at reducing the level of certain emissions from all Portland cement kilns operating in the United States. In late 2010, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) and several cement producers, including Lafarge North America (collectively the Cement Parties), sued the EPA asserting that the regulations in the proposed format were invalid and petitioned the United States Court of Appeals—District of Columbia Circuit to void the proposed regulations until corrected by the EPA. In December 2011, the Court ruled that it would not overturn the EPA standards but ordered the EPA to reconsider certain standards and re-issue the NESHAP rules. On April 13, 2012, the EPA entered into a settlement agreement with the Cement Parties. Pursuant to the agreement and following a public comment period, the EPA issued a new final rule that resulted in a compliance extension period until September 2015. Lafarge North America and the Business estimate that capital expenditures Lafarge Target Business will incur to comply with the new EPA Control Regulations in their present form, including money already spent, could be as much as $2.0 million.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements (continued)

8. Commitments and Contingencies (continued)

When the Business determines that it is probable that a liability for environmental matters, legal actions, or other contingencies has been incurred and the amount of the loss is reasonably estimable, an estimate of the costs to be incurred is recorded as a liability in the financial statements. As of June 30, 2015, such liabilities are not material to Lafarge Target Business’s financial statements. While management believes its accruals for such liabilities are adequate, the Business may incur costs in excess of the amounts provided at June 30, 2015.

In the ordinary course of business, the Business is involved in certain legal actions and claims, including proceedings under laws and regulations relating to environmental and other matters. Because such matters are subject to many uncertainties and the outcomes are not predictable with assurance, the total liability for these legal actions and claims cannot be determined with certainty. Management believes that such actions and claims will be resolved without material adverse impact to Lafarge Target Business’s financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

9. Related-Party Transactions

Allocated Expenses

Lafarge Target Business has been allocated expenses from the Parent of $8.7 million and $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These costs from the Parent are derived from multiple levels of the organization including geographic business unit expenses, product line expenses, shared corporate expenses, and fees from the Group holding company. These allocated costs are primarily related to corporate administrative expenses and reorganization costs, employee related costs including pensions and other benefits for corporate and shared employees, and rental and usage fees for shared assets for the following functional groups: information technology, accounting and finance services, marketing and contract support, customer support, treasury, facility and other corporate and infrastructural services. The costs associated with these services and support functions (indirect costs) have been allocated to Lafarge Target Business using the most meaningful respective allocation methodologies. The proportionate tonnage sold by Lafarge Target Business compared to Lafarge NA’s U.S. cement division was used in most instances.

Included in the allocated expenses from the Parent are approximately $2.2 million and $2.0 million of pension and other postretirement benefits expense to the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which has been reflected within cost of goods sold and selling and general administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed combined statements of operations. Lafarge Target Business’s salaried employees and union hourly employees participate in defined benefit pension plans sponsored by the Parent. These plans include other Parent employees that are not employees of the Business. The Parent also provides certain retiree health and life insurance benefits to eligible employees who have retired from the Business. Salaried participants generally become eligible for retiree health care benefits when they retire from active service at age 55 or later. Benefits, eligibility, and cost-sharing provisions for hourly employees vary by location and/or bargaining unit. Generally, the health care plans pay a stated percentage of most medical and dental expenses reduced for any deductible, copayment, and payments made by government programs and other group coverage. The related pension and postretirement benefit liability has not been allocated to the Business and has not been presented in the accompanying condensed combined balance sheet since the obligation is and will remain a liability of the Parent.

Sales/Purchases With Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Business purchases products from and sells products to certain Lafarge NA affiliates in which it does not have a controlling interest. Such purchases totaled $1.8 million during each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014; such sales totaled $4.7 million and $6.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

(a) The following entities are incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware: Summit Materials Corporations I, Inc. and Summit Materials Finance Corp. (collectively, the “Delaware Corporations”).

Delaware General Corporation Law

Section 145(a) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea ofnolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Delaware Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

Section 145(c) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that to the extent that a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 145(a) and (b), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

Section 145(d) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that any indemnification under Section 145(a) and (b) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the present or former director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 145(a) and (b). Such determination shall be made, with respect to a person who is a director or officer of the corporation at the time of such determination (1) by a majority vote of the directors who were not parties to such

II-1

action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (2) by a committee of such directors designated by majority vote of such directors, even though less than a quorum; or (3) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (4) by the stockholders.

Section 145(e) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation as authorized in Section 145. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents of the corporation or by persons serving at the request of the corporation as directors, officers, employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the board of directors deems appropriate.

Section 145(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Section 145 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. A right to indemnification or to advancement of expenses arising under a provision of the certificate of incorporation or a bylaw shall not be eliminated or impaired by an amendment to the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws after the occurrence of the act or omission that is the subject of the civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding for which indemnification or advancement of expenses is sought, unless the provision in effect at the time of such act or omission explicitly authorizes such elimination or impairment after such action or omission has occurred.

Section 145(g) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.

Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides, among other things, that a director, who willfully or negligently approves of an unlawful payment of dividends or an unlawful stock purchase or redemption, may be held liable for such actions. A director who was either absent when the unlawful actions were approved or dissented at the time, may avoid liability by causing his or her dissent to such actions to be entered in the books containing the minutes of the meetings of the board of directors at the time such action occurred or immediately after such absent director receives notice of the unlawful acts.

Section 7-109-102 and Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act provide that a corporation may indemnify a person made party to a proceeding because the person is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent if (a) such person’s conduct was in good faith; and (b) such person reasonably believed (i) in the case of conduct in such person’s official capacity with the corporation, that such conduct was in the corporation’s best interests; and (ii) in all other cases (other than criminal cases), that such conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests; and (c) in the case of any criminal proceeding, such person had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent is not, in itself, determinative that such person did not meet the standard of care under Section 7-109-102. A corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent under Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act in connection with any proceeding (y) by or in the right of the corporation in which such person was adjudged liable to the corporation; or (z) charging that such person derived an improper personal benefit, whether or not involving an action in an official capacity, in which proceeding such person was adjudged liable on the basis that such person derived an improper personal benefit. Indemnification under Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act shall be limited to reasonable expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding.

Section 7-109-103 and Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act provide that, unless limited by a corporation’s articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify directors and officers of the corporation, and may indemnify an employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, who are wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any proceeding to which such director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent was a party because the person was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent against reasonable expenses incurred by such person in connection with the proceeding. The Colorado Corporation’s articles of incorporation do not contain a contrary provision.

Section 7-109-104 and Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act permit a corporation to advance reasonable expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent who is a party to a proceeding in advance of final disposition of the proceeding if: (a) the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent furnishes to the corporation a written affirmation of such director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent’s good faith belief that he or she has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act; (b) the director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent furnishes to the corporation a written undertaking to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he or she did not meet the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act; and (c) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Section 7-109-107 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act permits a corporation to indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees, fiduciaries or agents who are not directors, to a greater extent than directors if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by the corporation’s bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or shareholders, or contract.

Section 7-109-106 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may not indemnify a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent under Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act unless authorized in the specific case after a determination has been made that indemnification of such person is permissible in the circumstances because such person has met the standard of conduct set forth in Section 7-109-102 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act. Such determination shall be made, (a) by a

II-4

majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such action, (b) by a committee of such directors designated by the board of directors, even though less than a quorum, (c) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel, or (d) by the shareholders.

Section 7-109-108 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation, or who, while a director, officer, employee, fiduciary, or agent of the corporation, is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, fiduciary or agent of another entity, against liability asserted against or incurred by the person in that capacity or arising from the person’s status as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against the same liability under the Colorado Business Corporation Act.

The Kansas General Corporation Code provides in K.S.A. 17-6305(c) that to the extent that a present or former director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in subsections (a) and (b) of K.S.A. 17-6305, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such director, officer, employee or agent shall be indemnified against expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith, including attorney fees.

The Kansas General Corporation Code provides in K.S.A. 17-6305(f) that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other subsections of K.S.A. 17-6305 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in a person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

A director’s conduct with respect to an employee benefit plan for a purpose he reasonably believed to be in the interests of the participants in and beneficiaries of the plan shall be conduct that satisfies the requirement that he reasonably believed that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests. The termination of a proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not be, of itself, determinative that the director did not meet the standard of conduct described in Section 8-510 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act. A corporation may not indemnify a director under Section 8-510 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation in which the director was adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding charging improper personal benefit to him, whether or not involving action in his official capacity, in which he was adjudged liable on the basis that personal benefit was improperly received by him.

The written undertaking shall be an unlimited

general obligation of the director but shall not be required to be secured and may be accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

The determination shall be made by the board of directors by majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not at that time parties to the proceeding, or, if a quorum cannot be obtained, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the board of directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate), consisting solely of two (2) or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding, or by special legal counsel selected by the board of directors or its committee in the manner prescribed above, or if a quorum of the board of directors cannot be obtained, selected by a majority vote of the full board of directors (in which selection directors who are parties may participate), or by the shareholders, but shares owned by or voted under the control of directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding shall not be voted on the determination. Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled to select special legal counsel as set forth above.

II-9

Section 8-580 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act provides that the indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, Sections 8-500 to 8-580 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Sections 8-500 to 8-580 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act shall not limit a corporation’s power to pay or reimburse expenses incurred by a director in connection with his appearance as a witness at a proceeding at a time when he has not been made a named defendant or responded to the proceeding.

Section 8-330 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act provides, among other things, that a director who votes for or who assents to a distribution made in violation of Section 6-400 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act or the articles of incorporation shall be personally liable to the corporation for the amount of the distribution that exceeds what could have been distributed without violating Section 6-400 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act or the articles of incorporation if it is established that he did not perform his duties in compliance with Section 8-300 of the Kentucky Business Corporations Act.

The bylaws of the Texas Corporation provide that each person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to, or was or is otherwise involved in, any action, suit, arbitration, alternative dispute mechanism, inquiry, judicial, administrative or legislative hearing, investigation or any other threatened, pending or completed proceeding, whether brought by or in the right of the Texas Corporation or otherwise, including any and all appeals, whether of a civil, criminal, administrative, legislative, investigative or other nature (for purpose of this provision, a “proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Texas Corporation or while a director or an officer of the Texas Corporation is or was serving at the request of the Texas Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an “indemnitee”), or by reason of anything done or not done by him or her in any such capacity, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Texas Corporation to the fullest extent authorized by the Texas Business Organizations Code, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement by or on behalf of the indemnitee) actually and reasonably incurred by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as otherwise required by law or provided in Section 6.3 of the bylaws of the Texas Corporation with respect to proceedings to enforce rights under the indemnification provisions of the bylaws, the Texas Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding, or part thereof, initiated by such indemnitee (including claims and counterclaims, whether such counterclaims are asserted by (i) such indemnitee, or (ii) the Texas Corporation in a proceeding initiated by such indemnitee) only if such proceeding, or part thereof, was authorized or ratified by the board of directors of the Texas Corporation.

To receive indemnification under the bylaws of the Texas Corporation, an indemnitee shall submit a written request to the secretary of the Texas Corporation. Such request shall include documentation or information that is necessary to determine the entitlement of the indemnitee to indemnification and that is reasonably available to the indemnitee. Upon receipt by the secretary of the Texas Corporation of such a written request, the entitlement of the indemnitee to indemnification shall be determined by the following person or persons who shall be empowered to make such determination: (i) the board of directors of the Texas Corporation by a majority vote of the directors who are not parties to such proceeding, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum, (ii) a committee of such directors designated by a majority vote of such directors, whether or not such majority constitutes a quorum, (iii) if there are no such directors, or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors of the Texas Corporation, a copy of which shall be delivered to the indemnitee, (iv) the stockholders of the Texas Corporation or (v) in the event that a change of control (as defined below) has occurred, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion to the board of directors of the Texas Corporation, a copy of which shall be delivered to the indemnitee. The determination of entitlement to indemnification shall be made and, unless a contrary determination is made, such indemnification shall be paid in full by the Texas Corporation not later than 60 days after receipt by the secretary of the Texas Corporation of a written request for indemnification. For purposes of this provision, a “change of control” will be deemed to have occurred if the individuals who, as of the effective date of the bylaws, constitute the board of directors of the Texas Corporation (the “incumbent board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the Texas Corporation; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to such effective date whose election, or nomination for election by the stockholders of the Texas Corporation, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the incumbent board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the incumbent board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the board of directors of the Texas Corporation.

In addition to the right to indemnification described above, an indemnitee shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, also have the right to be paid by the Texas Corporation the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending any proceeding with respect to which the indemnification is required under the

II-18

indemnification provisions of the bylaws in advance of its final disposition (an “advancement of expenses”); provided, however, that an advancement of expenses shall be made only upon delivery to the Texas Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision of a court of competent jurisdiction from which there is no further right to appeal that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified for such expenses. To receive an advancement of expenses under the bylaws, an indemnitee shall submit a written request to the secretary of the Texas Corporation. Such request shall reasonably evidence the expenses incurred by the indemnitee and shall include or be accompanied by the undertaking required described above. Each such advancement of expenses shall be made within 20 days after the receipt by the secretary of the Texas Corporation of a written request for advancement of expenses.

The Texas Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Texas Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Texas Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the Texas Business Organizations Code.

Section 16-10a-903 (“Section 903”) of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act provides that, unless limited by its articles of incorporation, a corporation shall indemnify a director who was successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any Proceeding, or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter in the proceeding, to which he was a Party because he is or was a director of the corporation, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by him in connection with the Proceeding or claim with respect to which he has been successful.

In addition to the indemnification provided by Sections 902 and 903, Section 16-10a-905 of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act provides that, unless otherwise limited by a corporation’s articles of incorporation, a director may apply for indemnification to the court conducting the Proceeding or to another court of competent jurisdiction. On receipt of an application and after giving any notice the court considers necessary, (i) the court may order mandatory indemnification under Section 903, in which case the court shall also order the corporation to pay the director’s reasonable expenses to obtain court-ordered indemnification, or (ii) upon the court’s determination that the director is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances and

II-19

regardless of whether the director met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 902, the court may order indemnification as the court determines to be proper, except that indemnification with respect to certain Proceedings resulting in a director being found liable for certain actions against the corporation may be limited to reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the director.

Section 16-10a-904 (“Section 904”) of the Utah Revised Business Corporation Act provides that a corporation may pay for or reimburse the reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by a director who is a Party to a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding if (i) the director furnishes the corporation a written affirmation of his good faith belief that he has met the applicable standard of conduct described in Section 902, (ii) the director furnishes to the corporation a written undertaking, executed personally or in his behalf, to repay the advance if it is ultimately determined that he did not meet the required standard of conduct, and (iii) a determination is made that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification under Section 904.

Unless a corporation’s articles of incorporation provide otherwise, (i) an officer of the corporation is entitled to mandatory indemnification and is entitled to apply for court ordered indemnification, in each case to the same extent as a director, (ii) the corporation may indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of the corporation to the same extent as a director, and (iii) a corporation may also indemnify and advance expenses to an officer, employee, fiduciary or agent who is not a director to a greater extent than the right of indemnification granted to directors, if not inconsistent with public policy, and if provided for by its articles of incorporation, bylaws, general or specific action of its board of directors or contract.

Item 22. Undertakings.

(a) Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes:

(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering;

(4) that, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser, if the registrants are subject to Rule 430C, each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use; and

(5) that, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrants under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, each of the undersigned registrants undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrants pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrants will be sellers to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

II-30

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

(c) Each of the undersigned registrants hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.

(d) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or controlling persons of each of the registrants pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, each of the registrants has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrants of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person of the registrants in connection with the securities being registered, the registrants will, unless in the opinion of their counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by them is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
