Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance Overview of Our Board Structure In June 2007, Bloomin’ Brands acquired our wholly-owned subsidiary, OSI Restaurant Partners, LLC (“OSI”). Bloomin’ Brands was formed by an investor group comprised of funds advised by Bain Capital, LLC (“Bain Capital”) and others, who we collectively refer to as our “Sponsors,” and our “Founders,” who include Chris T. Sullivan, Robert D. Basham and J. Timothy Gannon. In 2012, we and certain of our stockholders, including our Sponsors and Founders, sold shares of common stock in our initial public offering (the “IPO”) and our common stock was listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. From the time of our IPO until the completion of a secondary public offering of shares by the Sponsors on March 10, 2014 (the “March 2014 Secondary Offering”), the Sponsors continued to own a controlling interest in us and we availed ourselves of the “controlled company” exception within the meaning of the rules of the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”). Subsequent to the March 2014 Secondary Offering, we were no longer a “controlled company” within the meaning of the NASDAQ rules. As a result, and following a phase-in period, NASDAQ rules now require that our Board of Directors consist of a majority of directors who meet NASDAQ’s independence requirements (“Independent Directors”) and the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees must be composed entirely of Independent Directors. See “Independent Directors” under Item 13 of this Annual Report on Form 10- K for additional information regarding these independence requirements and our satisfaction of these requirements. We are parties to a stockholders agreement (“Stockholders Agreement”) with Bain Capital (OSI) IX, L.P., Bain Capital (OSI) IX Coinvestment, L.P., BCIP TCV, LLC, Bain Capital Integral Investors 2006, LLC, and BCIP Associates—G (collectively, the “Bain Funds”), whereby the Bain Funds have a contractual right to nominate a varying number of directors to the Board of Directors based on the amount of outstanding common stock owned by the Bain Funds. See “Arrangements With Our Sponsors and Founders” within “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” under Item 13 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding the Bain Funds’ right to nominate directors. The following provides information regarding the business experience and qualifications of each of our directors: Andrew B. Balson, 48, has served as a director since June 2007 and is a former Managing Director of Bain Capital. Mr. Balson retired from Bain Capital in 2014, but continues to serve on several of its portfolio company boards. Prior to joining Bain Capital in 1996, Mr. Balson was a consultant at Bain & Company. Mr. Balson previously worked in the Merchant Banking Group at Morgan Stanley & Co., and in the leveraged buyout group at SBC Australia. Mr. Balson serves on the board of directors of FleetCor Technologies, Inc. where he serves on the executive and acquisitions committee, and Domino’s Pizza, Inc., where he serves as Chairperson of the compensation committee and as a member of the nominating and corporate governance committee. Mr. Balson also served on the board of directors of Burger King Holdings, Inc. from 2002 to 2008, and Dunkin’ Brands, Inc. from 2006 to 2012. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Balson’s qualifications to serve as a Board member include his extensive experience with global companies, his industry and financial expertise, and his years of experience providing strategic advisory services to complex organizations, including restaurant companies.
