6. To provide that Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which governs business combinations between the Company and certain interested stockholders, does not apply to the Company and, instead, include a provision in the Proposed Charter that is substantially similar to Section 203 of the DGCL, but excludes from the definition of “interested stockholder” (A) the investment funds affiliated with CCMP Capital Advisors, LP and their respective successors, Transferees and Affiliates (each as defined in the Proposed Charter) (the “Sponsor Holders”) because such stockholders currently hold voting power of Hillman Holdco in excess of, and immediately following the Business Combination these parties will hold voting power of the combined company in excess of, the 15% threshold under Section 203, and (B) any person whose ownership of shares in excess of the 15% threshold is the result of any action taken solely by the combined company. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Sponsor Holders will become “interested stockholders” within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL, but will not be subject to the restrictions on business combinations set forth in Section 203, as our Board approved the Business Combination in which such stockholders became interested stockholders prior to such time they became interested stockholders (such proposal the “Advisory Charter Proposal D”):
