It passes on a notice from affiliates of Blackstone, its majority owner, which we call the Blackstone side below. The company says it did not independently verify the notice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">In short, the Blackstone side has signed agreements to borrow money using its Jersey Mike&#x27;s shares as collateral. Together with existing agreements of the same kind, they provide for total borrowings of about $1.09 billion. By the notice&#x27;s math, the shares pledged under all the agreements, old and new, came to <b>about 54.3%<\/b> of the Class A and Class B shares outstanding combined as of September 16, when the new agreements were signed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The prospectus had said before the IPO that this could happen, though it did not name a lender, an amount or a share count. For 180 days from the date of the prospectus, existing holders promise not to sell or pledge their shares. That is the lock-up. But the prospectus said the Blackstone side&#x27;s lock-up does not stop it from pledging shares, the lenders from foreclosing, or the lenders from selling the shares after a foreclosure. The new agreements were signed inside those 180 days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\"><b>If you think of a lock-up only as a promise not to sell, this 8-K looks like a surprise. The prospectus had named, before the IPO, where that promise does not reach.<\/b><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.12em;color:#daa241;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;padding-top:36px;margin:60px 0 18px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;\">What the agreements say<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The agreements were signed on September 16. Morgan Stanley Senior Funding acts for the lenders as administrative agent. As with a mortgage on a house, if the borrowers default, the lenders may foreclose on the pledged shares.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The notice itself gives the 54.3% as a share of Class A stock. Besides Class A shares, there are units of its subsidiary Jersey Mike&#x27;s HoldCo, LLC, held by other owners including the Blackstone side, that can be exchanged one for one for Class A shares, and each Class B share is paired with one of those units. The notice assumes that all units not held by the company are exchanged for Class A shares. That gives the same ratio as counting Class A and Class B shares together.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.12em;color:#daa241;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;padding-top:36px;margin:60px 0 18px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;\">The prospectus had said so before the IPO<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The final prospectus from the IPO is dated July 29. Its risk factors said this. The Blackstone side may pledge its shares to borrow money. If the share price falls to certain levels, it may have to put up more collateral. If it defaults, the lenders may foreclose on the shares and sell them in the open market. The same paragraph appears in the S-1 filed on July 2.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">On the lock-up, it says the lock-up signed by the Sponsor &quot;does not restrict pledges&quot; of its shares, &quot;the foreclosure by lenders&quot; or &quot;the sale of our shares by the lenders following any such foreclosure.&quot; The Sponsor is Blackstone. The 180 days run from the date of the prospectus.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.12em;color:#daa241;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;padding-top:36px;margin:60px 0 18px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;\">The company promised not to get in the lenders&#x27; way<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The company is not a party to the loans and has no obligations under them. Even so, it gave the lenders letter agreements promising not to take actions intended to materially hinder or delay them in using their remedies, such as foreclosure. That promise is subject to law and stock exchange rules.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The prospectus had also described an arrangement for the company to help with such pledges. The stockholders agreement with Blackstone requires the company to cooperate with certain future pledges of the Blackstone side&#x27;s shares, including to banks as collateral for loans. The 8-K does not say whether the letter agreements were given under that agreement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">The company filed the report as an arrangement that may later lead to a change of control of the company.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size:15px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:0.12em;color:#daa241;border-top:1px solid #e6e6e6;padding-top:36px;margin:60px 0 18px;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;\">The table does not show collateral<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-size:18px;line-height:1.7;margin:0 0 1.6em;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,'Hiragino Kaku Gothic ProN','\u30d2\u30e9\u30ae\u30ce\u89d2\u30b4 ProN W3','Noto Sans JP','Yu Gothic',sans-serif;word-break:normal;line-break:strict;overflow-wrap:break-word;\">On our scoreboard, $1,000 put into each of the eleven companies in the Recent listings group at its first-day closing price comes to $10,142 as of the September 25 close.
