CUSIP No. 81282V100

 

The following constitutes Amendment No. 16 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 16”). This Amendment No. 16 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 1.Security and Issuer.

Item 1 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

This statement relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of United Parks & Resorts Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 6240 Sea Harbor Drive, Orlando, Florida 32821.

Item 2.Identity and Background.

Item 2(b) is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:

(b)       The address of the principal office of each of the Reporting Persons is 150 East 58th Street, 33rd Floor, New York, New York 10155.

Item 3.Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:

The 62,947 Shares beneficially owned directly by Mr. Ross were awarded to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

The 31,375 Shares beneficially owned directly by Mr. Chambers were awarded to him in his capacity as a director of the Issuer.

Item 4.Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On February 27, 2024, Hill Path Capital LP (“Hill Path”) and the Issuer entered into the First Amendment to Stockholders Agreement (the “Amendment”), which amended the Stockholders Agreement, dated May 27, 2019 (the “Original Agreement” and, as amended by the Amendment, the “Agreement”) with the Issuer.

As set forth in the Amendment, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Issuer has determined to authorize repurchases from time to time of up to $500 million of Shares or such lesser amount as to ensure that the beneficial ownership of the Reporting Persons and certain other affiliates (“Hill Path Affiliates”), in the aggregate, does not equal or exceed 50% (the “Repurchase Program”). The Board has also determined (i) to call a special meeting of the Issuer’s stockholders (the “Special Meeting”); (ii) to submit the Repurchase Program and the Amendment for approval by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares not held by the Hill Path Affiliates (and Nomura Global Financial Products Inc., as counterparty on certain derivatives) (such approval, the “Disinterested Stockholder Approval”); and (iii) to recommend that such stockholders vote in favor of the Disinterested Stockholder Approval.

The Amendment provides that its terms will only become effective if Disinterested Stockholder Approval is obtained for both the Amendment and the Repurchase Program and when Shares are first purchased under such program. If the Amendment or the Repurchase Program proposal is not approved by the Issuer’s stockholders, the Amendment, in accordance with its terms, will automatically terminate and have no effect.

22

CUSIP No. 81282V100

Following its effectiveness, the Amendment will cease to have effect at any time if both the aggregate beneficial ownership and the aggregate economic ownership of the Hill Path Affiliates fall below their current levels. The Amendment will again become effective at any time thereafter if either the aggregate beneficial ownership or the aggregate economic ownership of the Hill Path Affiliates again equals or exceeds their current levels.

Pursuant to the Amendment, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, for most matters put to a stockholder vote (including director elections, acquisition transactions and other routine matters), the Hill Path Affiliates agree to vote all of their Shares in excess of 24.9% of the total outstanding Shares in the same proportion as the Shares owned by other stockholders are voted.

In addition, the Amendment provides that any acquisition of all or substantially all of the Issuer’s Shares not owned by Hill Path Affiliates, whether by merger, consolidation, tender offer or otherwise proposed by Hill Path or directors affiliated with Hill Path shall be subject to the approval of (i) a special committee of the Board comprised solely of directors who are not affiliated with Hill Path and are disinterested from Hill Path (such approval, the “Special Committee Approval”), and (ii) the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares not held by the Hill Path Affiliates. The Amendment also provides that any material related party transaction with any Hill Path Affiliate will be subject to Special Committee Approval. The Amendment also provides that any future amendment to or waiver by the Issuer of the Amendment will require Special Committee Approval.

The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Amendment, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
