 we will be accordingly dependent upon distributions from OpCo to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and cover our corporate and other expenses.

After this offering, we will be a holding company and will have no material assets other than our equity interest in OpCo, and we will not have any independent means of generating revenue. As such, our ability to pay our taxes and expenses or declare and pay dividends in the future is dependent upon the financial results and cash flows of OpCo and its subsidiaries and distributions we receive from OpCo. OpCo and its subsidiaries may not generate sufficient cash flow to distribute funds to us and applicable state law and contractual restrictions, including negative covenants in our debt instruments, may not permit such distributions.

We anticipate that OpCo will continue to be classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and, as such, will not be subject to any entity-level U.S. federal income tax.

In addition, as the sole managing member of OpCo, we intend to cause OpCo to make pro rata distributions to all
