INTRODUCTION
This Amendment No. 3 (Final Amendment) to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3 (as originally filed on January 17, 2023, and subsequently amended by Amendment No. 1 filed on January 30, 2023 and Amendment No. 2 filed on February 16, 2023, and as amended hereby, together with all exhibits thereto and hereto, the Transaction Statement), is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Exchange Act, by (a) Weber Inc., a Delaware corporation (Weber or the Company), the issuer of the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the Class A Shares), and Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the Class B Shares and, together with the Class A Shares, the Common Shares), of Weber that are the subject of the Rule 13e-3 transaction; (b) Ribeye Parent, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Parent); and (c) BDT Capital Partners, LLC, BDT WSP Holdings, LLC, BDT Capital Partners I-A Holdings, LLC, BDTCP GP I, LLC, BDT Capital Partners Fund 3, L.P., BDT Capital Partners Fund 3 (TE), L.P., BDT Capital Partners Fund 3 (Del), L.P., BDT Capital Partners Fund 3 (Lux) SCSp, BDTCP GP 3, L.P., BDTCP 3-A (DEL), LLC, BDTCP GP 3-A, L.P., BDTCP GP 3-A (Lux) S.à r.l., BDTCP GP 3, Co., BDT Partners, LLC, BDT & MSD Holdings, L.P., BDTP GP, LLC and Byron D. Trott (collectively, together with Parent and Merger Sub, the BDT Entities). Collectively, the persons filing this Transaction Statement are referred to as the filing persons.
This Transaction Statement, including this Final Amendment, relates to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 11, 2022 (the Merger Agreement), by and among Weber, Parent and Ribeye Merger Sub, Inc., previously a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Parent (Merger Sub). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, on February 21, 2023, Merger Sub merged with and into Weber, with Weber continuing as the surviving corporation (the Surviving Corporation) and becoming a subsidiary of Parent (the Merger). As a result of the Merger, Merger Sub ceased to exist as an independent entity and, therefore, is no longer a filing person.
This Final Amendment is being filed pursuant to Rule 13e-3(d)(3) under the Exchange Act to report the results of the Merger and to reflect certain updates as detailed below. Except as otherwise set forth herein, the information set forth in the Transaction Statement remains unchanged and is incorporated by reference into this Final Amendment.
On January 30, 2023, Weber filed a definitive information statement (the Information Statement) under Section 14(c) of the Exchange Act relating to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and the accompanying Amendment No. 1 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3. A copy of the Information Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1) and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the Information Statement. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Final Amendment have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Information Statement.
Pursuant to General Instruction F to Schedule 13E-3, the information contained in the Information Statement, including all annexes thereto, is expressly incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and responses to each item herein are qualified in their entirety by the information contained in the Information Statement and the annexes thereto.
All information contained in this Final Amendment, including the Transaction Statement incorporated herein by reference, concerning any of the filing persons has been provided by such filing person and no filing person has produced any disclosure with respect to any other filing persons.

ITEM 15. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
(c) Other Material Information.
Item 15(c) is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following language:
On December 11, 2022, the Specified Holders, which on such date beneficially held (i) a majority of the Class A Shares outstanding, (ii) a majority of (A) the Class B Shares outstanding and (B) the Class B Shares held by the stockholders party to the Stockholders Agreement, and (iii) a majority of the Common Shares outstanding, executed and delivered to Weber a written consent adopting the Merger Agreement and approving the Merger (the Written Consent).
On February 21, 2023, Weber and Parent filed a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the Certificate of Merger), pursuant to which the Merger became effective (such time, the Effective Time). As a result of the Merger, Weber became a subsidiary of Parent. At the Effective Time, pursuant to the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, the Merger Agreement, each Class A Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (i) Class A Shares held by BDT Capital Partners I-A Holdings, LLC and BDT WSP Holdings, LLC (the Holdings Shares), (ii) any Common Shares canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and (iii) each Class A Share and each Class B Share for which the holder thereof was not a Specified Holder and was entitled to and properly demanded appraisal pursuant to the DGCL, and did not withdraw or otherwise lose the right to appraisal pursuant to the DGCL (such Common Shares, the Dissenting Shares)) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $8.05 per Class A Share, without interest (the Merger Consideration). Each Holdings Share that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and all of the issued and outstanding Class B Shares (other than any Class B Shares canceled pursuant to the Merger Agreement and any applicable Dissenting Shares), as of the Effective Time, were converted into an equal number of Class A Shares and Class B Shares, respectively, of the Surviving Corporation and remained outstanding. Additionally, at the Effective Time, each outstanding option to purchase Class A Shares (each, a Company Option), award of restricted stock units with respect to the Class A Shares (each, a Company RSU Award) and limited liability interest designated as a Profit Unit in HoldCo (each, a Company Profits Unit Award and, collectively with Company Options and Company RSU Awards, Company Equity Awards) remained outstanding and continued to be subject to the same terms and conditions as immediately prior to the Effective Time, as set forth in the applicable Company equity plan and award agreement, except that any Company RSU Award held by any director of the Company who is not an employee of the Company, Parent or any of their respective affiliates (a Director RSU Award) accelerated in full and was canceled, with the holder thereof being entitled to receive, in respect of such cancellation, without interest, an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of Class A Shares subject to such Director RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration.
Prior to the opening of trading on February 21, 2023, Weber notified the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE) that the Merger had been completed and that the Certificate of Merger had been filed, and requested that the NYSE suspend trading of Class A Shares on the NYSE prior to the opening of trading on February 21, 2023. Weber also requested that the NYSE file with the SEC a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form 25 to effect the delisting of all Class A Shares from the NYSE and deregistration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act. As a result, Class A Shares will no longer be listed on the NYSE. In addition, Weber intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the suspension of Webers reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act with respect to all Common Shares.
On February 21, 2023, Weber and BDT Capital Partners, LLC issued a joint press release announcing the closing of the Merger. The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K, and is incorporated by reference herein as Exhibit (a)(3).
