This Current Report does not contain all the information that should be considered concerning the proposed business combination and is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect of the proposed business combination. CP II’s stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read the definitive proxy statement and other documents filed in connection with the proposed business combination, as these materials contain important information about Advantage, CP II and the proposed business combination. The definitive proxy statement and other relevant materials for the proposed business combination have been mailed to stockholders of CP II as of October 6, 2020. Stockholders may also obtain copies of the definitive proxy statement and other documents filed with the SEC, without charge, at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to: Conyers Park II Acquisition Corp., 999 Vanderbilt Beach Road, Suite 601, Naples, Florida 34108.

Participants in the Solicitation

CP II and its directors and executive officers may be deemed participants in the solicitation of proxies from CP II’s stockholders with respect to the proposed business combination.

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Current Report may be considered forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements generally relate to future events or CP II’s or Advantage’s future financial or operating performance, such as statements regarding Advantage’s preliminary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the ability to complete the contemplated refinancing transactions on the terms described herein or at all, and the expected timing of, and benefits from, the proposed business combination between CP II and Advantage. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may”, “should”, “expect”, “intend”, “will”, “would”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “predict”, “potential” or “continue”, or the negatives of these terms or variations of them or similar terminology. Such forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and other factors which could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward looking statements.

These forward-looking statements are based upon estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by CP II and its management, and Advantage and its management, as the case may be, are inherently uncertain. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited, to approval by CP II’s stockholders of the proposed business combination and satisfaction of other closing conditions relating to the transaction, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Advantage’s business units, Advantage’s estimates of expenses and profitability and other risks and uncertainties set forth in the section titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in the definitive proxy statement filed by CP II with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 9, 2020.

This Current Report includes preliminary financial information for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2020, which is subject to completion of Advantage’s quarter-end close procedures and further financial review. Actual results may differ as a result of the completion of Advantage’s quarter-end closing procedures, review adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time such financial information for the period is finalized. As a result, these estimates are preliminary, may change and constitute forward-looking information and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Neither Advantage’s independent registered accounting firm nor any other independent registered accounting firm has audited, reviewed or complied, examined or performed any procedures with respect to the preliminary results, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on the preliminary financial information.
