Background of the Mergers, page 47 9.With a view towards improved disclosure, please consider revising this section to clearly identify the members of each of the Company's Board of Directors and the Executive Committee. 10.Disclosure in the second paragraph on page 47 indicates that "...the Board formed the Executive Committee and delegated all of the power and authority of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") to the Executive Committee..." (emphasis added). Please reconcile this statement with disclosure in the subsequent sentence that indicates that "...the Executive Committee exerts significant control over the Company’s operations by acting as the governing body of the Company...with full authority to approve many actions customarily required to be approved by, or reserved for approval by, a board of directors..." (emphasis added). Please also confirm the "many actions" include the board's obligation to provide the statement described in Item 1014(a) of Regulation M-A. 11.Refer to the following disclosure in the penultimate paragraph on page 48: "The remaining members of the Board were subsequently apprised of the formal review of strategic alternatives of the Company."

On March 5, 2024, representatives of Company management held a meeting with representatives of Centerview to discuss the Final Financial Model, the Variance Analysis and the information described above , with representatives of Latham and Cravath in attendance" (emphases added). Please revise your disclosure here, in your discussion of the Centerview opinion and financial analyses beginning on page 69, and in your discussion of the Company's financial forecasts beginning on page 78 as appropriate to describe such "certain information." Recommendation of the Executive Committee; Reasons for the Mergers, page 61 We note that the defined terms "Public Stockholders" and "Unaffiliated Stockholders" appear to be used throughout your information statement interchangeably despite having different definitions. With a view towards disclosure, please explain to us the differences between these two terms. In this regard, also please reconcile the statement on page 61 referring to the Special Committee's determination that the Transactions "are in the best 13.

August 28, 2024 Page 4 interests of, the Company and the Public Stockholders" with the statement on page 63 referring to the Special Committee's determination that the Transactions "were advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders." We further note similar discrepancies throughout your information statement, as well as a reference to "the Company and its public stockholders" on page 60. 14.Disclosure in this section indicates that the Executive Committee "determined that the Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are fair and in the best interests of, the Company, its stockholders, including the Public Stockholders…" "Public Stockholders" is defined on page 6 as "all of the holders of the issued and outstanding Shares, but excluding the SLP Holders and the Management Holders, their respective affiliates and any other stockholders of the Company affiliated with the Parent Entities or their respective affiliates." Please note that the staff considers officers and directors of the Company to be affiliates when considering whether such reference is sufficiently specific to satisfy Item 1014(a) of Regulation M-A. Please refer to the definition of "affiliate" in Exchange Act Rule 13e-3(a)(1). Please advise whether the phrase "Public Stockholders" applies to any other directors and officers of the Company who are not affiliated with the SLP Holders, the Management Holders or the Parent Entities. Disclosure regarding the Board's fairness determination with respect to the phrase "Public Stockholders," as opposed to unaffiliated holders of the Company, may not necessarily satisfy Item 8 of Schedule 13E-3. Refer to Item 1014(a) of Regulation M-A. In contrast, we note that the definition of the term "Unaffiliated Stockholders," as disclosed on page 94, would appear to satisfy Item 8 of Schedule 13E-3. 15.We note your reference on page 62 to "Public Stockholders who receive the Merger Consideration." Please clarify whether there are any instances where Public Stockholders may receive Merger Consideration or some other form of consideration other than the Public Stockholder Consideration defined on page 8. The factors listed in Instruction 2 to Item 1014 of Regulation M-A and paragraphs (c), (d) and (e) of Item 1014 are generally relevant to each filing person's fairness determination and should be discussed in reasonable detail. See paragraph (b) of Item 1014 of Regulation M-A and Questions 20 and 21 of Exchange Act Release No. 34-17719 (April 13, 1981). Please revise this section to include the factors described in paragraphs (c) and (e) of Item 1014, as well as clauses (i) through (vii) of Instruction 2 to Item 1014 or explain why such factors were not deemed material or relevant to the fairness determination of the Executive Committee. If the procedural safeguards in Item 1014(c) and (e) were not considered, please explain why the Executive Committee believes the Rule 13e-3 transaction is fair in the absence of such safeguards. To the extent that Executive Committee intends to rely on the Special Committee’s analyses as opposed to providing its own analysis that satisfies the disclosure described in Item 1014(b) of Regulation M-A, the Executive Committee must expressly adopt such discussion. See Question and Answer No. 20 in Exchange Act Release 17719. In such case, the Special Committee’s analyses must full address each of the above factors. Currently, the Special Committee’s analyses only appear to address clauses (i), (ii) and (vii) of Instruction 2 to Item 1014 and the factors described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Item 1014.

This comment also applies to the disclosure in the section captioned "Position of the SLP 16.

Recommendation of the Special Committee; Reasons for the Recommendation, page 63 17.Refer to the list of risks and other countervailing factors that the Special Committee considered, beginning on page 67 of the information statement.

This comment also applies to the disclosure in the section captioned "Position of the SLP Entities and the Director Rollover Holders in Connection with the Mergers" beginning on page 94. Opinion of Centerview, page 69 18.Refer to the list of materials that Centerview reviewed in connection with rendering its opinion and performing its related financial analyses at the top of page 70. The definition of "Financial Projections" on page 53 appears to include the Preliminary Financial Models, the Final Financial Model, and the Variance Analysis, but does not include the "FCF Allocation" described on page 56 as having been delivered to representatives of Centerview. Please reconcile the disclosure on page 70 with the statement on page 78 that "[t]he Final Financial Model, together with the FCF Allocation , was approved by the Special Committee and the Company's management for Centerview's use for purposes of performing its financial analyses" (emphasis added). In this regard, we also note disclosure on page 75 suggesting that the FCF Allocation was used in Centerview's financial analyses. Summary of Centerview Financial Analysis, page 71 19.Please revise the subsection beginning on page 77 to include a summary of the second presentation made to the Special Committee on March 29, 2024, as described in the last paragraph of page 56. 20.Refer to the following disclosure on page 76: "In the two years prior to the date of its written opinion, Centerview had not been engaged to provide financial advisory or other services to the Parent Entities or Silver Lake Technology Management, L.L.C.

Similar disclosure appears in the fairness opinion itself. In addition, we note similar disclosure in the Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. opinion that "[t]his Opinion is furnished solely for the use of the GPs [...] and the Buying Funds [...] in connection with their evaluation of the Transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person or entity (including, without limitation, security holders, creditors or other constituencies of the Buying Funds or the GPs) or used for a

Background of the Mergers, page 47
9.With a view towards improved disclosure, please consider revising this section to clearly
identify the members of each of the Company's Board of Directors and the Executive
Committee.
10.Disclosure in the second paragraph on page 47 indicates that "...the Board formed the
Executive Committee and delegated all of the power and authority of the board of
directors of the Company (the "Board") to the Executive Committee..."  (emphasis
added).  Please reconcile this statement with disclosure in the subsequent sentence that
indicates that "...the Executive Committee exerts significant control over the Company’s

approve many actions customarily required to be approved by, or reserved for approval
by, a board of directors..." (emphasis added).  Please also confirm the "many actions"

Recommendation of the Executive Committee; Reasons for the Mergers, page 61
We note that the defined terms "Public Stockholders" and "Unaffiliated Stockholders"
appear to be used throughout your information statement interchangeably despite having
different definitions. With a view towards disclosure, please explain to us the differences
between these two terms. In this regard, also please reconcile the statement on page 61
referring to the Special Committee's determination that the Transactions "are in the best 13.

interests of, the Company and the Public Stockholders" with the statement on page 63
referring to the Special Committee's determination that the Transactions "were advisable,
fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Unaffiliated Stockholders." We
further note similar discrepancies throughout your information statement, as well as a
reference to "the Company and its public stockholders" on page 60.
14.Disclosure in this section indicates that the Executive Committee "determined that the
Merger Agreement and the Transactions, including the Mergers, are fair and in the best
interests of, the Company, its stockholders, including the Public Stockholders…" "Public
Stockholders" is defined on page 6 as "all of the holders of the issued and outstanding
Shares, but excluding the SLP Holders and the Management Holders, their respective
affiliates and any other stockholders of the Company affiliated with the Parent Entities or
their respective affiliates." Please note that the staff considers officers and directors of the
Company to be affiliates when considering whether such reference is sufficiently specific
to satisfy Item 1014(a) of Regulation M-A. Please refer to the definition of "affiliate" in
Exchange Act Rule 13e-3(a)(1). Please advise whether the phrase "Public Stockholders"
applies to any other directors and officers of the Company who are not affiliated with the
SLP Holders, the Management Holders or the Parent Entities.  Disclosure regarding the
Board's fairness determination with respect to the phrase "Public Stockholders," as
opposed to unaffiliated holders of the Company, may not necessarily satisfy Item 8 of
Schedule 13E-3. Refer to Item 1014(a) of Regulation M-A.  In contrast, we note that the
definition of the term "Unaffiliated Stockholders," as disclosed on page 94, would appear
to satisfy Item 8 of Schedule 13E-3.
15.We note your reference on page 62 to "Public Stockholders who receive the Merger
Consideration." Please clarify whether there are any instances where Public Stockholders
may receive Merger Consideration or some other form of consideration other than the
Public Stockholder Consideration defined on page 8.
The factors listed in Instruction 2 to Item 1014 of Regulation M-A and paragraphs (c), (d)
and (e) of Item 1014 are generally relevant to each filing person's fairness determination
and should be discussed in reasonable detail. See paragraph (b) of Item 1014 of
Regulation M-A and Questions 20 and 21 of Exchange Act Release No. 34-17719 (April
13, 1981). Please revise this section to include the factors described in paragraphs (c) and
(e) of Item 1014, as well as clauses (i) through (vii) of Instruction 2 to Item 1014 or
explain why such factors were not deemed material or relevant to the fairness
determination of the Executive Committee. If the procedural safeguards in Item 1014(c)
and (e) were not considered, please explain why the Executive Committee believes the
Rule 13e-3 transaction is fair in the absence of such safeguards. To the extent that
Executive Committee intends to rely on the Special Committee’s analyses as opposed to
providing its own analysis that satisfies the disclosure described in Item 1014(b) of
Regulation M-A, the Executive Committee must expressly adopt such discussion. See
Question and Answer No. 20 in Exchange Act Release 17719. In such case, the Special
Committee’s analyses must full address each of the above factors.  Currently, the Special
Committee’s analyses only appear to address clauses (i), (ii) and (vii) of Instruction 2 to
Item 1014 and the factors described in paragraphs (c) and (d) of Item 1014.

This comment also applies to the disclosure in the section captioned "Position of the SLP 16.

of "Financial Projections" on page 53 appears to include the Preliminary Financial
Models, the Final Financial Model, and the Variance Analysis, but does not include the
"FCF Allocation" described on page 56 as having been delivered to representatives of
Centerview. Please reconcile the disclosure on page 70 with the statement on page 78 that
"[t]he Final Financial Model, together with the FCF Allocation , was approved by the

performing its financial analyses" (emphasis added). In this regard, we also note
