 amount of cash tax savings, if any, that we actually realize (or in some circumstances are deemed to realize) as a result of Existing Basis, Basis Adjustments, Historical NOLs and Interest Deductions (each as defined in this prospectus). Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that we earn sufficient taxable income to realize all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we expect that the tax savings associated with the (i) Existing Basis, (ii) Basis Adjustments, (iii) Historical NOLs and (iv) Interest Deductions would aggregate to approximately $879.5 million over 20 years from the date of this offering based on a $18.50 per share trading price of our Class A shares and assuming all future redemptions or exchanges would occur on the date of this offering at the same assumed price per share. Under such scenario, assuming future payments are made on the due date (with extension) of each relevant U.S. federal income tax return, we would be required to pay approximately 85% of such amount, or approximately $747.5 million, over the 20-year period from the date of this offering, and we would benefit from the remaining 15% of the tax benefits. We will depend on cash distributions from OpCo to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Any payments made by us to the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement will generally reduce the amount of cash that might have otherwise been available to us.

The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement or certain other acceleration events occur that results in an early termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement, in each case, pursuant to which we would be required to pay to the TRA Holders an amount representing the present value of anticipated future tax benefits under the Tax Receivable Agreement (computed using certain assumptions). In addition, upon a change of control our (or our successor’s) future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for each taxable year after any such event would also be computed using certain assumptions (instead of our or our successor’s actual realized cash tax savings). The summary of the terms of the Tax Receivable Agreement included herein is not a complete description thereof and is qualified in its entirety by the full text thereof.
