Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D is being filed to reflect the beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”) of Malibu Boats, Inc. (the “Issuer”) following the closing of the public offering of Class A Common Stock by certain selling stockholders of the Issuer (the “Offering”) on May 27, 2015. This Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D does not reflect the ownership of Units in Malibu Boats Holdings, LLC (the “LLC Units”) held by the reporting persons. The reporting persons are not deemed to own shares of Class A Common Stock through the ownership of LLC Units because if the reporting persons were to request an exchange of the LLC Units to Class A Common Stock, the Issuer may, at the Issuer’s option, other than in the event of a change in control, elect to pay cash equal to the market value of the Class A Common Stock.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

(a),(b),(c),(f) This statement is being filed by the following entities:

 

  1) BC-MB GP, a Delaware general partnership

The entities and individuals listed in items (1) through (8) above are herein collectively referred to as the “Reporting Persons” and individually as a “Reporting Person.” For the purposes of this filing, the entities listed in items (1) through (6) above are herein collectively referred to as the “Black Canyon Affiliates.” The Canyon Value Realization Fund, L.P. and Loudon Partners, LLC are not listed as reporting persons in this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D because they only owned LLC Units. The Canyon Value Realization Fund, L.P. and Loudon Partners, LLC were not deemed to own shares of Class A Common Stock through the ownership of LLC Units because if The Canyon Value Realization Fund, L.P. and Loudon Partners, LLC were to request an exchange of the LLC Units to Class A Common Stock, the Issuer may, at the Issuer’s option, other than in the event of a change in control, elect to pay cash equal to the market value of the Class A Common Stock.
