Item 2(a). Name of Person Filing

 

This Schedule 13G is being filed jointly by 3 Little Birds LLC, a Nevada limited liability company (the “LLC”), 3LB Administrative Trust, a Nevada trust, as the manager of the LLC (the “MGR Trust”), DK IV Limited Partnership, a Nevada limited partnership, as the sole member of the LLC (the “Member LP”), The 92270 Irrevocable Trust, a Nevada trust as the general partner of the Member LP (the “Member GP”), John D. Kilpatrick, IV and Jennifer E. Kilpatrick (each, a “Reporting Person” and, together, the “Reporting Persons”), pursuant to an Agreement of Joint Filing incorporated by reference herein in accordance with Rule 13d-1(k)(1) under the Act.

 

The LLC directly holds 3,030,000 Common Units (“Common Units”) of Switch, Ltd and associated 3,030,000 shares of Class B common stock of the Issuer. The Common Units are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock (“Shares”), or, at the election of the Issuer, cash equal to a volume weighted average market price of a share of Class A common stock. The Common Units have no expiration date. One share of the Issuer's Class B common stock was issued for each Common Unit. The shares of Class B common stock (i) confer only voting rights (one vote per share) and do not confer any incidents of economic ownership to the holders thereof; and (ii) are forfeited and cancelled, on a one-for-one basis, without consideration, upon the redemption of Common Units for shares of Class A common stock, or cash, at the Issuer's election.

 

Because of the relationship of each of the MGR Trust, the Member LP and the Member GP to the LLC, each may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares directly held by the LLC and Mr. Kilpatrick, as trustee of the MGR Trust and the Member GP, and Ms. Kilpatrick, as trustee of the MGR Trust, may be deemed to beneficially own the Shares held by the LLC. However, neither the filing of this Schedule 13G nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person (other than the LLC to the extent it directly holds Shares) is the beneficial owner of the Shares for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose and each of the Reporting Persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of such Shares. The filing of this statement should not be construed to be an admission that any member of the Reporting Persons are members of a “group” for the purposes of Sections 13(d) or 13(g) of the Act.

 

All the Reporting Persons disclaim beneficial ownership of the Shares except to the extent of their pecuniary interest therein.
