Title of Class of Securities
The class of equity security to which this Schedule 13G relates is the Class A common stock of PetIQ, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). The Class A common stock of the Company is publicly traded. The ownership reflected above is shares of Class B common stock of the Company. Class B common stock of the Company is not publicly traded. Class B common stock entitles the holder to one (1) vote per share and is convertible (along with an equal number of common units of PetIQ Holdings, LLC) at any time, into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis at the option of the shareholder. As a result, under Rule 13d, a holder of Class B common stock is deemed to have beneficial ownership which such shareholder may acquire upon conversion of the Class B common stock.
