Supplement to Proxy Statement
This supplement, dated May 13, 2020, supplements the definitive proxy statement (the Proxy Statement) of Party City Holdco
Inc. (the Company) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 27, 2020 related to the Companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The primary purpose of this supplement is to clarify that Proposal 3, to approve an
amendment to the Companys Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock, is a routine matter under the rules and regulations of the
New York Stock Exchange.
CHANGES TO PROXY STATEMENT
The following section from page 4 of the Proxy Statement is accordingly amended and restated as follows:
Withhold Votes, Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes
Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present or represented for purposes of determining a
quorum for the Annual Meeting. A broker non-vote is a proxy from a brokerage firm or other nominee indicating that such person has not received instructions from the beneficial owner on a particular matter
with respect to which the brokerage firm or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power. Shares held by a brokerage firm or other nominee that are not voted on any matter at the meeting are not included in determining whether a quorum is
present.
Under the rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange (the NYSE rules), the proposed amendment to the
Second Amended and Restated Certificates of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split and the proposal to ratify the appointment of E&Y as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2020 are considered
routine matters, which means that brokerage firms or other nominees may vote in their discretion on these matters on behalf of clients who have not furnished voting instructions. However, the election of directors and the proposed
amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan are non-routine matters under the NYSE rules, which means brokerage firms or other nominees that have not received
voting instructions from their clients on these matters may not vote on these proposals.
With respect to Proposal 1, the election of
directors, only for and withhold votes may be cast, and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal. With respect to (i) Proposal 2, the approval of the
amendment and restatement of the Companys Amended and Restated 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan, (ii) Proposal 3, the approval of the proposed amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock
split, and (iii) Proposal 4, the ratification of the appointment of E&Y as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2020, only for, against and abstain votes may be
cast. Abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote on Proposal 2 and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 2. Brokerage firms and other nominees generally have discretionary
authority to vote on Proposal 2; thus, we do not expect any broker non-votes on Proposal 2. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a negative vote for Proposal 3. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of Proposal 4. Brokerage firms and other nominees generally have discretionary authority to vote on Proposal 4; thus, we do not expect any broker non-votes on Proposal 4.
