SCHEDULE 13D
Page 5 of 8 Pages


the initial public offering, the Issuer completed a reorganization transaction (the "Exchange") on October 26, 2010, pursuant to which each outstanding share of Preferred Stock and each outstanding share of Common Stock, was exchanged for new common shares, no par value per share (the "Shares"). As a result of the Exchange, Holdings received Shares in exchange for its Common Stock and Preferred Stock. Immediately following the effectiveness of the Exchange, Holdings made a liquidating distribution of the Shares it received as a result of the Exchange to CHBravo and  other members on a pro rata basis.

Item 4.
PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

CHBravo was an investor in Holdings. The Shares issued by the Issuer were acquired as a result of the liquidation distribution of such Shares to unitoholders of Holdings, see Item 3 above.
 
Other than as set forth above, none of the Reporting Persons have any plans or proposals which relate to, or could result in, any of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) through (j), inclusive, of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Such Reporting Persons may, at any time from time to time, review or reconsider their position with respect to any of such matters, but have no present intention to do so.

Item 5.
INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY.

(a) The approximate aggregate percentage of Shares reported beneficially owned by each person herein is based upon 19,250,000 shares, which reflects the Shares issued and outstanding as reported in the Issuer's Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-1 dated October 7, 2010.
 
  (i)
CHBravo owns directly 2,281,061 Shares, constituting approximately 11.8% of Shares outstanding.
  (ii)
Mr. Castle owns directly no Shares. By reason of the provisions of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Mr. Castle may be deemed to own beneficially 2,281,061 shares constituting approximately 11.8% of the Shares outstanding, all of which are owned directly by CHBravo.

Inc. ("CHP GP") is the general partner of CHP IV and Mr. Castle is the controlling stockholder of CHP GP. Thus, for the purposes of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Mr. Castle may be deemed to beneficially own 2,281,061 shares constituting approximately 11.8% of the Shares issued and outstanding. Mr. Castle disclaims beneficial ownership of Shares, except to the extent of his indirect pecuniary interest in CHBravo.
 
(c) Other than the transaction described in Items 3 and 4, during the past sixty days, there were no transactions in Shares, or securities convertible into exercisable for or exchangeable for Shares, by the Reporting Persons.
 
(d) No persons other than the Reporting Persons are known to have the right to receive, or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of the Shares owned by them.
 
(e) Not applicable.
