(the “Issuer”) by: (i) 3G Restaurant Brands Holdings General Partner Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company (“3G RBH GP”); and (ii) 3G Restaurant Brands Holdings LP, a Cayman Islands limited partnership (“3G RBH”). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 20 and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings given to them in the initial Schedule 13D. The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant.

Pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Agreement, 3G RBH delivered to Restaurant Brands International Limited Partnership (“RBI LP”) an exchange notice to exchange in aggregate 6,528,013 Exchangeable Units of RBI LP, referred to herein as the “August 2024 Exchange.”

On August 12, 2024, HL1 17 LP, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“HL1”), entered into a forward sale contract with BofA Securities, Inc. with respect to 6,528,013 common shares (the “Common Shares”) of the Issuer as described in further detail in Item 6 of this Amendment (the “Forward Contract”).

This Amendment is being filed primarily to provide additional detail about the August 2024 Exchange and the Forward Contract.

As noted above, 3G RBH delivered to RBI LP an exchange notice to exchange 6,528,013 Exchangeable Units held by 3G RBH. The exchange notice became irrevocable on August 12, 2024 with respect to 6,528,013 Exchangeable Units. As announced by the Issuer on August 12, 2024, upon receipt of the exchange notice, the Issuer, in its capacity as general partner of RBI LP, elected to have RBI LP satisfy the Exchange by issuing 6,528,013 Common Shares in exchange for 6,528,013 Exchangeable Units. The August 2024 Exchange will be effected on or before August 30, 2024.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)-(b) Aggregate number and percentage of securities and Power to vote and dispose.
As a result of the consummation of the Transactions, the Partnership Agreement, the Voting Trust Agreement and the

subsequent transactions discussed herein, (i) 3G RBH GP beneficially owns and may be deemed to have voting and dispositive power with respect to 6,528,013 Common Shares and 116,784,472 Exchangeable Units and (ii) 3G RBH beneficially owns and may be deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with respect to 116,784,472 Exchangeable Units.

Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by any Reporting Person, other than, solely with respect to the Exchangeable Units acquired in the Transactions by 3G RBH that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Exchangeable Units or Common Shares referred to herein for purposes of the Exchange Act, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), none of the Reporting Persons and, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no person named in Schedule A, beneficially owns any Common Shares.
