We also note that certain of these individuals own Skechers PSAs that will convert into Class P Units, which high vote securities further increase their aggregate equity ownership of Parent to an unspecified total. Finally, we note that the Greenberg Stockholders are positioned to have the requisite voting power to elect the Legacy Member Representative, the initial designation of whom appears to have been pre- decided according to the disclosure in Annex D. Please provide us with an analysis addressing whether Rule 13e-3 applies to your transaction.

Please revise your prospectus to clearly and prominently describe the provision, including in your Risk Factors and Description of Parent Units sections. Please disclose whether this provision applies to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act.

If the provision applies to Securities Act claims, please also disclose that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce such provision and that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. If this provision does not apply to actions arising under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, please also ensure that the exclusive forum provision in the Parent A&R LLCA 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 Securities Act or Exchange Act. Further, please clearly disclose any risks or other impacts on investors, including, but not limited to, increased costs to bring a claim and that these provisions can discourage claims or limit investors ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable. Please address whether there is any question as to whether a court would enforce the provision. 3. We note your waiver of jury trial provision in Section 13.13 of the Parent A&R LLCA. Please revise your prospectus to clearly and prominently describe this provision, including in your Risk Factors and Description of Parent Units sections. Please disclose whether the provision extends to federal securities law claims. If so, state that investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Further, please clearly disclose any risks or other impacts on investors, including, but not limited to, increased costs to bring a claim, limited access to information and other imbalances of resources between the company and members, and that these provisions can discourage claims or limit members ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable.

Further, please clarify whether the provision applies to purchasers in secondary transactions. Cover Page
