Legence board of directors), we could be required to make a substantial, immediate lump-sum payment. This payment would equal the present value of hypothetical future payments that could be required under the
Tax Receivable Agreement. The calculation of the hypothetical future payments will be based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including (i) the sufficiency of taxable income to fully utilize
the tax benefits, (ii) U.S. federal, state and local tax rates for future periods. (iii) treating any LGN Units (other than those held by us (including through the Pubco Subsidiaries)) outstanding on the termination date as exchanged on
the termination date, (iv) the taxable disposition of certain non-amortizable property and (v) the utilization of certain loss carryovers. Such lump-sum
payment to the TRA Members could be greater than the specified percentage of any actual benefits we ultimately realize in respect of the tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situations, our obligations under the
Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity.

Our ability to generate net taxable income is subject
to substantial uncertainty. Accordingly, as a result of the assumptions, the required lump-sum payment may be significantly in advance of, and could materially exceed, the realized future tax benefits to which
the payment relates. This payment obligation could (i) make us a less attractive target for an acquisition, particularly in the case of an acquirer that cannot use some or all of the tax benefits that are the subject of the Tax Receivable
Agreement and (ii) result in holders of our Class A Common Stock receiving substantially less consideration in connection with a change of control transaction than they would receive in the absence of such obligation. Accordingly, the TRA
Members’ interests may conflict with those of the holders of our Class A Common Stock.

If the Tax Receivable Agreement
terminates early at our election, as a result of our breach or upon a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations and certain changes to the
composition of the Legence board of directors), we could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that exceed our actual cash tax savings under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Consequently, our obligations under the Tax
Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying,
