No Reporting Person has any specific plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of the Common Stock, although consistent with its investment purpose, each Reporting Person at any time and from time to time may acquire additional Common Stock or dispose of any or all of its Common Stock, depending upon an ongoing evaluation of the investment in the Common Stock, prevailing market conditions, other investment opportunities, liquidity requirements of the Reporting Persons and/or other investment considerations.

The foregoing response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 5.4 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 5 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The response to Item 6 is incorporated herein by this reference.

For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), TDG beneficially owns, and has shared disposition power of, 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, including 2,000,000 shares (or 5.2%) of Common Stock directly owned by Holdings (the “Holdings Shares”) and zero shares beneficially owned by CGI. TDG is the sole member and manager of Holdings and the sole stockholder of CGI. For the purposes of Rule 13d-3 as promulgated under the Exchange Act, Holdings beneficially owns, and has shared disposition power of, the Holdings Shares. By virtue of the Voting Trust Agreement (as defined herein), neither TDG nor Holdings has or shares voting power with respect to the Holdings Shares. Holdings is the registered holder of the Holdings Shares and has the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, such securities.

Richard L. Duchossois beneficially owns, and has sole voting and disposition power of, 617,773 shares (or 1.6%) of the Common Stock through the Richard L Duchossois Revocable Trust, of which he is the sole trustee. By virtue of his position as a director and executive officer, and his ability to direct the investment decisions, of TDG, Richard L. Duchossois, for purposes of Rule 13d-3, may be deemed to beneficially own the Holdings Shares. Richard L. Duchossois shares disposition power with respect to the Holdings Shares with the persons set forth on Appendix A to this Schedule 13D, which is incorporated herein by this reference. By virtue of the Voting Trust Agreement, Richard L. Duchossois does not have or share voting power with respect to the Holdings Shares. The Holdings Shares, when aggregated with the 617,773 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Richard L. Duchossois, results in Mr. Duchossois being deemed to beneficially own 2,617,773 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 6.8% of the Outstanding Shares (as defined herein). Richard L. Duchossois disclaims beneficial ownership of the Holdings Shares.

Craig J. Duchossois beneficially owns, and has sole voting and disposition power of, 120,000 shares (or 0.3%) of the Common Stock through the Craig J. Duchossois Revocable Trust (103,554 shares) and the CJD RBD Legacy Trust (16,446 shares), of which he is the sole Investment Advisor and directs the trustee on all investment matters. By virtue of his position as a director and executive officer, and his ability to direct the investment decisions, of TDG and his position as the Voting Trustee under the Voting Trust Agreement, Craig J. Duchossois shares disposition power and has sole voting power with respect to the Holdings Shares and, for purposes of Rule 13d-3, may be deemed to beneficially own the Holdings Shares. The Holdings Shares, when aggregated with the 120,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Craig J. Duchossois, results in Mr. Duchossois being deemed to beneficially own 2,120,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 5.5% of the Outstanding Shares. Craig J. Duchossois disclaims beneficial ownership of the Holdings Shares.

The percentages set forth in this Item 5 and in the cover pages are based on 38,455,225 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding (the “Outstanding Shares”), which is calculated based on 39,455,225 shares outstanding as of October 14, 2020 as reported by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 28, 2020, less 1,000,000 shares repurchased by the Issuer under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Agreement.

On February 1, 2021, Holdings agreed to sell the Issuer 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for aggregate consideration of $193,940,000 in a privately negotiated transaction pursuant to the 2021 Stock Repurchase Agreement. Except as set forth herein, none of the Reporting Persons has effected any transactions in shares of Common Stock during the preceding 60 days.

Item 6 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The response to Item 4 is incorporated herein by this reference.

The following response to this Item 6 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Stockholder’s Agreement, dated September 8, 2000, between TDG Illinois and the Issuer (the “Stockholder’s Agreement”), the First Amendment to Stockholder’s Agreement, dated November 19, 2015, between TDG and the Issuer (the “Amendment”), the Amended and Restated Stockholder’s Agreement, dated June 9, 2017, between Holdings and the Issuer (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”), and the Voting Trust Agreement, dated July 3, 2019, among TDG, Holdings and Craig J. Duchossois (the “Voting Trust Agreement”), which are Exhibits 5.1, 5.2, 5.4 and 5.6 hereto, respectively, and incorporated herein by this reference.

The number of shares of Common Stock and the amount of consideration paid therefor set forth in this Item 6 have not been adjusted to reflect the Stock Split.

Stockholder’s Agreement

On September 8, 2000, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement pursuant to which TDG Illinois acquired various shares of Common Stock (filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference), the Issuer and TDG Illinois entered into the Stockholder’s Agreement. The Issuer and TDG entered into the Amendment in connection with the sale by TDG of 944,756 shares of Common Stock to the Issuer for aggregate consideration of $138,057,194.28. On February 29, 2016, TDG transferred 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer to Holdings. In connection therewith and in accordance with the terms of the Stockholder’s Agreement, Holdings agreed to assume all of TDG’s obligations under the Stockholder’s Agreement and to be bound by the Stockholder’s Agreement as if Holdings had been an original signatory to the Stockholder’s Agreement. On June 9, 2017, the Issuer and Holdings entered into the Amended and Restated Agreement in connection with the sale by Holdings of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to the Issuer for aggregate consideration of $158,782,444 pursuant to the 2017 Stock Repurchase Agreement.

Subject to certain limitations, Holdings may make transfers pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or private placements.

Holdings has the right to transfer its securities in an underwritten public offering under the Securities Act in accordance with the terms for registrations rights contained in the Amended and Restated Agreement. Holdings has, subject to certain conditions, both demand and “piggyback” registration rights until Holdings no longer holds at least 5% of the then outstanding Common Stock.

Richard L. Duchossois and Craig J. Duchossois served as members of the board of directors of the Issuer until the expiration of their respective then-current terms on April 23, 2019 and April 24, 2018, respectively.

Voting Trust Agreement

As of July 3, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), Holdings and TDG (the “Beneficiaries”) and Craig J. Duchossois (the “Voting Trustee”) entered into a voting trust agreement (the “Voting Trust Agreement”) whereby the Beneficiaries transferred and relinquished to the Voting Trustee all rights and powers attendant to their equity interests in the Issuer (except for the right to receive distributions), including the right to vote, assent, or consent with respect thereto, and to take part in and consent to any corporate or shareholder action of any kind whatsoever with respect thereto. The Voting Trust Agreement will terminate on the earlier of ten years after (i) the Effective Date or (ii) the sale of all of the equity interests in the Issuer to an unaffiliated third party, subject to earlier termination up on the written consent of the Beneficiaries and Voting Trustee.
