3. To provide that amendments to the proposed charter will require the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66% in voting power of the outstanding common stock of the combined company to amend certain provisions of the Proposed Charter as follows: Article FIFTH, which addresses amending or addressing the number, election, terms and removal of the classified board structure and any directors thereof; Article SIXTH, which addresses requirements relating to the amendment of our Bylaws; Article SEVENTH, Section 7.1, which addresses the requirement that special meetings be called only by the New Hillman Board; Article SEVENTH, Section 7.3, which addresses the requirement that stockholders take action at a meeting rather than by written consent; Article EIGHTH, which addresses the limitation on personal liability for a director’s breach of fiduciary duty and ability to indemnify, and advance expenses to, any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any predecessor of the combined company or is or was serving at the request of the combined company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise; Article NINTH, which addresses the specification that certain transactions are not “corporate opportunities”; Article TENTH, which addresses the election not to be governed by DGCL Section 203 and inclusion of a provision substantially similar to DGCL 203; and Article ELEVENTH, which addresses requirements to amend, alter, change or repeal certain provisions of the Proposed Charter (such proposal the “Advisory Charter Proposal A”):

6. To provide that Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which governs business combinations between the Company and certain interested stockholders, does not apply to the Company and, instead, include a provision in the Proposed Charter that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes from the definition of “interested stockholder” (A) the investment funds affiliated with CCMP Capital Advisors, LP and their respective successors, Transferees and Affiliates (each as defined in the Proposed Charter) (the “Sponsor Holders”) because such stockholders currently hold voting power of Hillman Holdco in excess of, and immediately following the Business Combination these parties will hold voting power of the combined company in excess of, the 15% threshold under Section 203, and (B) any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% threshold is the result of any action taken solely by the combined company. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor Holders will become “interested stockholders” within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will not be subject to the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203, as our Board approved the Business Combination in which such stockholders became interested stockholders prior to such time they became interested stockholders (such proposal the “Advisory Charter Proposal D”):
