Explanatory Note:

This Amendment No. 9 to the initial Statement on Schedule 13D, filed on December 22, 2014 (the initial Schedule 13D), as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed on September 25, 2015, Amendment No. 2, filed on December 7, 2015, Amendment No. 3, filed on December 16, 2015, Amendment No. 4, filed on November 1, 2017, Amendment No. 5, filed on November 13, 2017, Amendment No. 6, filed on November 17, 2017, Amendment No. 7, filed on October 30, 2018 and Amendment No. 8 filed on November 8, 2018 (as amended, the Schedule 13D), amends and restates, where indicated, the Schedule 13D relating to the Exchangeable Units of Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership (the Issuer) by: (i) 3G Restaurant Brands Holdings General Partner Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (3G RBH GP); and (ii) 3G Restaurant Brands Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (3G RBH). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 9 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D.

Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, 3G RBH delivered to the Issuer exchange notices to exchange in aggregate 24,000,000 Exchangeable Units of the Issuer, referred to herein as the 2019 Exchange.

This Amendment is being filed primarily to provide additional detail about the 2019 Exchange.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of Schedule 13D is hereby amended to add the following language:

As noted above, 3G RBH delivered to the Issuer exchange notices to exchange 24,000,000 Exchangeable Units held by 3G RBH. The exchange notices became irrevocable on August 9, 2019 with respect to 24,000,0000 Exchangeable Units. As announced by RBI on August 9, 2019, upon receipt of the exchange notice, RBI, in its capacity as general partner of the Issuer, elected to have the Issuer satisfy the Exchange by issuing 24,000,000 common shares of RBI in exchange for 24,000,000 Exchangeable Units. The 2019 Exchange will be effected on or before August 29, 2019.

After the 2019 Exchange, the Reporting Persons will continue to hold 165,989,638 Exchangeable Units, for which they have not submitted any exchange notice.

Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D and in connection with the 2019 Exchange and the other transactions discussed herein, the Reporting Persons have no plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and replaced in their entirety with the following language:


CUSIP No. 76090H103    Page 5

 

(a) and (b)

As a result of the consummation of the Transactions and the subsequent transactions discussed herein, 3G RBH GP and 3G RBH beneficially own and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 165,989,638 Exchangeable Units. All numbers and percentages herein related to the Exchangeable Units are based on 207,285,803 total Exchangeable Units outstanding as of July 26, 2019, according to information provided by the Issuer on its Form 10-Q filed on August 2, 2019 and after giving effect to the transactions discussed herein. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person, other than, solely with respect to the Exchangeable Units acquired in the Transactions by 3G RBH, that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Exchangeable Units referred to herein for purposes of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person named in Schedule A, beneficially owns any Exchangeable Units.

The information set forth in Item 2 is incorporated by reference into this Item 5(b).
