Item 3.

|
On July 24, 2013, the Issuer closed the initial public offering (the IPO) of an aggregate of 17,825,000 shares of Common Stock at the IPO price of $14.00 per share. In the IPO, the
Issuer sold 16,100,000 shares of Common Stock, and Cloobeck Diamond Parent, LLC (CDP), in its capacity as a selling stockholder, sold 1,725,000 shares of Common Stock.
On July 18, 2013, for services rendered (or to be rendered) to the Issuer, the Issuer granted to Mr. Berkman (i) 5,357
shares of Common Stock in lieu of the cash retainer to which he was otherwise entitled, pursuant to the Non-Officer Director Share Accumulation Program adopted as part of the Issuers 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan (the Plan) and
(ii) 5,357 shares of restricted Common Stock, one third of which will vest on each of the first three anniversaries of July 18, 2013. Such shares of restricted Common Stock were granted pursuant to a restricted stock award agreement (the
Restricted Stock Award Agreement) under the Plan.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, on July 24,
2013, Mr. Berkman purchased 30,000 shares of Common Stock, and the Trust purchased 60,000 shares of Common Stock, in each case in the IPO pursuant to the directed share program established by the underwriters for the IPO, at a price per share
of $14.

The summaries contained herein of the Restricted Stock Award Agreement and the Plan do not purport to be
complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are filed as Exhibits 1 and 2, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 4.
|
Purpose of Transaction.
|
The disclosure set forth in Item 3 of this Schedule 13D is incorporated herein by reference.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, each of the Reporting Persons has entered into a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of
July 17, 2013 (the Stockholders Agreement), with other individuals and entities who are now stockholders of the Issuer. The Stockholders Agreement covers an aggregate of 40,119,261 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately
53.2% of the outstanding Common Stock. In addition, CDP and DRP Holdco, LLC (DRPH), which beneficially own an aggregate of approximately 22.0% and 15.0%, respectively, of the Common Stock, and are parties to the Stockholders Agreement,
entered into a Director Designation Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2013 (the Director Designation Agreement), with the Issuer.
Pursuant to the Director Designation Agreement, (i) CDP has the right to designate up to two of the Issuers directors, for so long as CDP and its affiliates, collectively, own at least ten
percent (10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, and (ii) DRPH has the right to designate up to two of the Issuers directors, for so long as DRPH and its affiliates, collectively, own at least ten percent
(10%) of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, provided that, in each case, if the board of directors of the Issuer (the Board) determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the
nomination of any such designee would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Issuers stockholders, CDP or DRPH, as applicable, must designate another individual (who will also be subject to the same determination by the Board).
Pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, each of the parties thereto has agreed to cause the shares of Common Stock held by
such party to be voted, at any meeting of stockholders of the Issuer called for such purpose, for the individuals nominated by the Board for election to the Board (including those nominees selected by CDP and DRPH pursuant to the Director
Designation Agreement). Each of the parties to the Stockholders Agreement has agreed to appoint Stephen J. Cloobeck and David F. Palmer as their proxies and attorneys-in-fact to vote their shares of Common Stock in the event that they fail to vote
in accordance with the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement. In addition, in the event that any party to the Stockholders Agreement transfers any shares of Common Stock to an affiliate, another party to the Stockholders Agreement or an affiliate
of another party to the Stockholders Agreement, the transferee will be required to sign a joinder to the Stockholders Agreement.
As a result of the Stockholders Agreement, the parties thereto are deemed to constitute a group, for purposes of the Exchange Act, that holds more than 50% of the Common Stock, and the Issuer
will therefore qualify as a controlled company under the corporate governance rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
In connection with the closing of the IPO, (i) certain parties to the Stockholders Agreement (including the Reporting Persons)
purchased shares of Common Stock in the IPO

pursuant to the directed share program established by the underwriters for the IPO, (ii) each member of the Board
who is not an officer or employee of the Issuer, or the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Board (each such individual, a Non-Officer Director) was granted shares of restricted common stock for service on the Board, pursuant to the
Issuers 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan, and (iii) each Non-Officer Director received shares of fully vested Common Stock in lieu of the cash retainer to which such Non-Officer Director was otherwise entitled, pursuant to the Non-Officer
Director Share Accumulation Program adopted as part of the Issuers 2013 Incentive Compensation Plan. Pursuant to the Non-Officer Director Share Accumulation Program, each Non-Officer Director is entitled to elect to utilize all or a portion of
his annual retainer fee to acquire shares of Common Stock.
The transactions contemplated by the Stockholders Agreement and
the Director Designation Agreement may result in certain actions specified in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D, including changes in the Board. Mr. Berkman is, and will be, a director of the Issuer. In his capacity as a director,
Mr. Berkman is and will be significantly involved in the affairs of the Issuer and in this capacity could take actions that relate to or would result in the matters set forth in Items 4(b) through (j) of Schedule 13D. Furthermore, as
stockholders of the Issuer, on an ongoing basis, the Reporting Persons will review the Issuers operating, management, business affairs, capital needs and general industry and economic conditions, and, based on such review, the Reporting
Persons may, from time to time, determine to increase or decrease their ownership of Common Stock, vote to approve an extraordinary corporate transaction with regard to the Issuer or engage in any of the events set forth in Items 4(a) through
(j) of Schedule 13D. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Reporting Persons currently have no intention of engaging in any of the events set forth in Items 4(a) through (j) of Schedule 13D.
The summaries contained herein of the Stockholders Agreement and the Director Designation Agreement do not purport to be complete and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, which are included as Exhibits 3 and 4, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5.
|
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
(a) The Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own 100,714 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 0.13% of the Issuers outstanding Common Stock (based on 75,447,688 shares of
Common Stock outstanding).
(b) Mr. Berkman (i) has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to the
40,714 shares of Common Stock held by him and (ii) has shared voting power and shared dispositive power with regard to the 60,000 shares of Common Stock held by the Trust, of which he is the co-trustee.
The Trust has sole voting power and sole dispositive power with regard to the 60,000 shares of Common Stock held by it.
The share ownership reported for the Reporting Person does not include any shares of Common Stock owned by the other parties to the
Stockholders Agreement, except to the extent disclosed in this Schedule 13D. The Reporting Person is deemed to be a member of a group for purposes of the Exchange Act with the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement. The Reporting
Person disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock owned by the other parties to the Stockholders Agreement, except to the extent disclosed in this Schedule 13D.

Each of the Issuers officers, directors and principal stockholders (including the Reporting Person) has executed a Lock-Up
Agreement (each, a Lock-Up Agreement and, collectively, the Lock-Up Agreements). Each of the Lock-Up Agreements provides that the party thereto will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly
or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that
transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement,
without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, for a period of 180 days after July 18, 2013 (which 180-day period is subject to extension under certain specified conditions).
