Accounting for the Merger

The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Landcadia has been treated as the 'acquired' company for financial reporting purposes. This determination was primarily based on the Hillman equity holders having a relative majority of the voting power of the combined entity, Hillman having the authority to appoint a majority of directors on the Board of Directors, and senior management of Hillman comprising the majority of the senior management of the combined entity. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Hillman with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Hillman issuing stock for the net assets of Landcadia, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Landcadia will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the Merger had been consummated on March 31, 2021, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, and as if the Merger had been consummated on January 1, 2020, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared assuming the following methods of accounting in accordance with GAAP.

The Merger will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of the combined entity will represent a continuation of the financial statements of Hillman with the acquisition being treated as the equivalent of Hillman issuing stock for the net assets of Landcadia, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Landcadia will be stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.

The pro forma adjustments represent management's estimates based on information available as of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.

One-time direct and incremental transaction costs incurred prior to, or concurrent with, the Closing are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as a direct reduction to the combined entity's additional paid-in capital and are assumed to be cash settled.

2. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2021 are as follows:

(A)	Reflects the reclassification of cash and marketable securities held in the trust account that became available in conjunction with the business combination.

(B)	Represents the pro forma adjustment to record the net proceeds of $375.0 million from the private placement and issuance of 37.5 million shares of Class A common stock to the PIPE Investors.

(C)

Represents the pro forma adjustment to remove Hillman's previously held debt. This debt was paid down and new debt was issued, as represented by the adjustment at (D). The existing debt was and new debt has been issued via syndication with several lending institutions. Management performed a debt modification versus extinguishment analysis on the basis of each lending institution included in the syndication, and the paydown was determined to be partially a modification and partially an extinguishment, depending on the facts and circumstances related to the particular lending institution. The recognition of expenses related to deferred financing costs of the previously held debt, as represented by the adjustment at (II), were recorded as a reduction in retained earnings.

(D)	Represents the pro forma adjustment to record new debt in line with the paydown of previously held debt and issuance of new debt discussed further at (C).

(E)	Represents transaction costs of $96.3 million, including $6.6 million in ticking fees. Of the total amount shown $17.5 million in deferred underwriter fees were incurred and accrued for on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2021.

(F)	Reflects the elimination of Landcadia's historical accumulated deficit.

(G)	Represents issuance of 91.4 million shares of Class A Common Stock to existing Hillman equity holders as consideration for the reverse recapitalization.

(H)	Represents adjustment to present 8.7 million shares of Class A Common Stock held by the Landcadia Sponsors.

(I)	Reflects the reclassification of approximately $433.6 million of Class A Common Stock subject to possible redemption to permanent equity.

(J)	Authorized, issued and outstanding shares for each class of common stock and preferred stock as of March 31, 2021 and on a pro forma basis is as follows:

		March 31, 2021			Pro Forma Combined Company
		Authorized			Issued			Outstanding			Authorized			Issued			Outstanding
Landcadia Preferred Stock			1,000,000				-				-				1,000,000				-				-
Landcadia Class A common stock subject to possible redemption			50,000,000				43,355,173				43,335,173				-				-				-
Landcadia Class A Common Stock			380,000,000				6,644,827				6,644,827				500,000,000				187,569,511				187,569,511
Landcadia Class B Common Stock			20,000,000				12,500,000				12,500,000				-				-				-
Hillman Preferred Stock			200,000				-				-				N/A				N/A				N/A
Hillman Class A Common Stock			1,800,000				548,592				548,592				N/A				N/A				N/A

As a result of the Business Combination, Landcadia common stock was issued for Hillman's issued and outstanding common and preferred stock. There is no longer any Hillman common or preferred stock issued and outstanding after the Business Combination; thus, subsequent to the merger, all Hillman share totals are noted as not applicable in the table above.

3. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Three months ended March 31, 2021

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are as follows:

(AA)	Represents the pro forma adjustment to remove interest expense associated with the paydown of Hillman's existing debt.

(BB)

Represents the pro forma adjustment to record interest expense associated with new debt. The new debt has a variable interest rate, which for the new term loan is 275 basis points over the greater of LIBOR and a floor of 0.5% and for the asset-based loan ('ABL') is 150 basis points over LIBOR. The effective interest rate was determined using the actual 1-month LIBOR for 2021 reset on a monthly basis, resulting in interest expense of $7.3 million. A change in LIBOR of 1/8 of a percent would not result in an increase or decrease in interest expense for the quarter. Additional interest expense related to incremental amortization of OID of $0.1 million and commitment fees of $0.1 million, resulted in total interest expense of $7.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

(CC)	Reflects the elimination of interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account.

(DD)	Represents the adjustment to taxes such that the effective pro forma tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is equal to the relevant statutory income tax rate of 21%.

(EE)	Represents net loss per share computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

(FF)

Represents diluted net income per share computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2021, inclusive of 2.6 million stock options outstanding under the treasury stock method (13.6 million total stock options at a weighted average strike price of $8.12) and 0.3 million RSUs. The dilutive impact of 24.7 million outstanding warrants were excluded as these were out of the money as of March 31, 2021.

4. Adjustments and Assumptions to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the Year ended December 31, 2020

The adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:

(GG)	Represents the pro forma adjustment to remove interest expense associated with the paydown of Hillman's existing debt.

(HH)

Represents the pro forma adjustment to record interest expense associated with new debt. The new debt has a variable interest rate, which for the new term loan is 275 basis points over the greater of LIBOR and a floor of 0.5% and for the ABL is 150 basis points over LIBOR. The effective interest rate was determined using the actual 1-month LIBOR for 2020 reset on a monthly basis, resulting in interest expense of $34.9 million. A change in LIBOR of 1/8 of a percent would result in an increase or decrease in interest expense for the quarter of $0.9 million. Additional interest expense related to amortization of original issue discount of $0.4 million, commitment fees of $0.4 million, and agent fees of $0.2 million, resulted in total interest expense of $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(II)

Represents the recognition of nonrecurring expenses related to deferred financing costs in the amount of $3.4 million related to previously held debt. The recognition of these expenses was accelerated as a result of the debt modification versus extinguishment analysis associated with the paydown of debt discussed further at (C).

(JJ)	Reflects the elimination of interest earned on marketable securities held in the trust account.

(KK)

Represents the recognition of a nonrecurring net gain on the extinguishment of debt in the amount of $0.3 million, which was comprised of a loss of $13.3 million related to the discount on the previously held debt and a gain of $13.6 million related to the premium on the associated trust preferred debt, inclusive of certain fees written off as a result of the extinguishment. The recognition of this gain and loss, respectively, were determined as a result of the debt modification versus extinguishment analysis associated with the paydown of debt discussed further at (C).

(LL)	Represents the adjustment to taxes such that the effective pro forma tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2020 is equal to the relevant statutory income tax rate of 21%.

(MM)	Represents net income per share computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2020.
