2.We note you present the Non-GAAP financial measures, Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA margin, and they include adjustments for integration expenses and
non-recurring restructuring costs and lender and administrative agent fees. Please
address the following:
•You disclose that integration expenses and non-recurring restructuring costs
include amounts incurred or paid as a part of the Company’s rebranding efforts,
which included signage redesign, installation of new signage, and associated
personnel costs. Please explain to us the nature of these costs and why you believe
they do not represent normal, recurring operating expenses. In doing so, please
quantify for us the amounts that represent process improvement and/or strategic
initiatives from the amounts that represent costs related to a formal restructuring
plan and integration costs from actions related to business acquisitions; and
•It appears that lender and administrative agents fees are also normal operating
expense related to your business. Please revise your disclosure to not exclude
lender and administrative agent fees from Non-GAAP performance measures or
explain why you believe the adjustment is appropriate.
Please explain your consideration of Question 100.01 of the Non-GAAP Financial
Measures Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations in determining the
appropriateness of these adjustments.
3.We note on page 70 that you present Adjusted EBITDA margin, but do not present the
most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income / (loss) margin, with equal or

10.We note that your forum selection provision identifies a state court located within the
State of Delaware (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has
jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) as the exclusive
forum for certain litigation, including any “derivative action.” Please disclose whether
this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act. If
so, please also state that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such
provision. If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also state that
investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and
regulations thereunder. In that regard, we note that Section 22 of the Securities Act
creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to
enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations
thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Exchange Act,
please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the governing documents
states this clearly, or tell us how you will inform investors in future filings that the
provision does not apply to any actions arising under the Exchange Act.

change in accounting estimate or an error correction pursuant to ASC 250.
