Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (“Amendment No. 1”) relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Amplify Snack Brands, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), which has its principal executive offices at 500 West 5th Street, Suite 1350, Austin, Texas 78701. This Amendment No. 1 amends and supplements, as set forth below, the information contained in items 1, 3, 5 and 6 of the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with respect to the Company on August 25, 2017 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). All capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D. Except as amended by this Amendment No. 1, all information contained in the Schedule 13D is, after reasonable inquiry and to the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge and belief, complete and correct as of the date of this Amendment No. 1.
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
to read in its entirety as follows:

As of December 18, 2017, the Reporting
Persons no longer beneficially own any shares of Common Stock.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
to read in its entirety as follows:

The information concerning percentages
of ownership set forth below is based on 76,745,948 shares of Common Stock outstanding
as of November 3, 2017 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended September 30, 2017.

Discovery Equity Partners beneficially
owns 0 shares of Common Stock as of December 18, 2017, which represents 0.0%
of the outstanding Common Stock.

Discovery Group beneficially owns 0
shares of Common Stock as of December 18, 2017, which represents 0.0% of the outstanding
Common Stock.

Discovery
Group is the investment manager of Discovery Equity Partners.   Discovery Group exercises ultimate voting and dispositive
power of the securities held by Discovery Equity Partners. As a consequence, Discovery Group may be deemed to share beneficial
ownership of all of the shares of Common Stock owned by Discovery Equity Partners. Voting and disposition decisions at Discovery
Group with respect to the investment of such securities are made by a five-person investment committee (the “Committee”)
which makes such investment decisions by majority vote. No member of the Committee may act individually to vote or sell shares
of Common Stock held by Discovery Equity Partners, nor does any such member have a veto right concerning the vote or sale of any
such common stock. Accordingly, no individual member of the Committee is deemed to beneficially own, and each individual member
of the Committee expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of, within the meaning of Rule 13d-3, any shares of Common Stock held
by Discovery Equity Partners solely by virtue of the fact that he or she is a member of the Committee.

The transactions in Common Stock effected
by the Reporting Persons during the past 60 days are set out in Exhibit 1 hereto.

from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the shares of Common Stock reported herein.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
to read in its entirety as follows:

There
are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) between or among any of the Reporting Persons
and any other person with respect to any securities of the Company other than the governing documents of Discovery Group and Discovery
