## Management's discussion and analysis

As filed, 12,453 characters.

References in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” are to GS Acquisition Holdings Corp. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

### Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Quarterly Report including, without limitation, statements in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” regarding the Company’s financial position, business strategy and the plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “continue,” or the negative of such terms or other similar expressions. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections about future events. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause or contribute to such a discrepancy include, but are not limited to, those described in the Risk Factors section of our final prospectus for our Public Offering (as defined below) and in our other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings. Except as expressly required by applicable securities law, we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

### Overview

We are a blank check company incorporated as a Delaware corporation and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Initial Business Combination”).

We intend to effectuate an Initial Business Combination using cash from the proceeds of our initial public offering (the “Public Offering”) that closed on June 12, 2018 (the “Closing Date”) and the private placement of warrants to purchase shares of our Class A common stock (“Private Placement Warrants”) that closed on the Closing Date, and from additional issuances of, if any, our capital stock and our debt, or a combination of cash, stock and debt.

At September 30, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $984,923, current liabilities of $1,451,427 and deferred underwriting compensation of $24,150,000. Further, we expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We have reviewed, and continue to review, a number of opportunities to enter into an Initial Business Combination with operating businesses, but we are not able to determine at this time whether we will complete an Initial Business Combination with any of the target businesses that we have reviewed or with any other target business.

### Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we had net income of $2,296,093 and $0, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we had net income of $2,681,879 and $0, respectively. Our income consists solely of dividends earned. Our business activities from inception to September 30, 2018 consisted primarily of our formation and completing our Public Offering, and since the offering, our activity has been limited to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition targets for an Initial Business Combination.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

Until the closing of the Public Offering, our only source of liquidity was an initial sale of shares (the “Founder Shares”) of Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, to our sponsor, GS DC Sponsor I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), and the proceeds of a promissory note (the “Note”) from the Sponsor, in the amount of $300,000. The Note was repaid upon the closing of the Public Offering.

On June 12, 2018, we closed the Public Offering of 69,000,000 units (the “Units”), including 9,000,000 Units issued pursuant to the exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional units in full, at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating proceeds to us of $690,000,000 before underwriting discounts and expenses. Simultaneously with the closing of the Public Offering, we closed the private placement of an aggregate of 10,533,333 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each exercisable to purchase one share of our Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, to the Sponsor, at a price of $1.50 per Private Placement Warrant, generating proceeds of $15,800,000. On the Closing Date, we placed $690,000,000 of proceeds (including $24,150,000 of deferred underwriting discount) from the Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants into a trust account at Wilmington Trust, N.A. (the “Trust Account”) and held $2,000,000 (net of offering expenses, other than underwriting discounts, paid upon the consummation of the Public Offering) of such proceeds outside the Trust Account. Of the funds held outside the Trust Account, $300,000 was used to repay the Note to the Sponsor, with the balance reserved for: accrued offering and formation costs; legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses in connection with any business combinations; legal and accounting fees related to regulatory reporting requirements; NYSE continued listing fees; office space, administrative and support services; a reserve for liquidation expenses; and working capital to cover miscellaneous expenses (including franchise taxes net of anticipated interest income).

At September 30, 2018 we had cash and cash equivalents held outside the Trust Account of $984,923 and a working capital deficit of $466,504. At September 30, 2018, funds held in money market funds registered under the Investment Company Act and compliant with Rule 2a-7. As of September 30, 2018, we held $690,000,000 in Goldman Sachs Financial Square Treasury Investments Fund, a money market fund managed by an affiliate of the Sponsor.

In addition, income on the funds held in the Trust Account may be released to us to pay our franchise and income taxes.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an Initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our shares of Class A common stock upon completion of our Initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such business combination (including from our affiliates or affiliates of our Sponsor).

### Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or entered into any non-financial agreements involving assets.

### Contractual Obligations

At September 30, 2018, we did not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities. On June 7, 2018, we entered into an administrative support agreement pursuant to which we have agreed to pay an affiliate of the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, administrative and support services. Upon the earlier of the completion of the Initial Business Combination and the Company’s liquidation, we will cease paying these monthly fees. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we incurred expenses of $30,000 and $37,667, respectively, for such services.

The underwriters of the Public Offering are entitled to underwriting discounts and commissions of 5.5%, of which 2.0% ($13,800,000) was paid at the closing of the Public Offering and 3.5% ($24,150,000) was deferred. The deferred underwriting discount will be paid to the underwriters upon the completion of the Initial Business Combination.

### Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following as our critical accounting policies:

#### Net Income Per Common Share

We comply with accounting and disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share. Net income per share of common stock is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share.

At September 30, 2018, we had outstanding warrants to purchase of up to 33,533,333 shares of Class A common stock. The weighted average of these shares was excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share of common stock since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. At September 30, 2018, we did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into shares of common stock and then share in our earnings. As a result, diluted net income per share of common stock is the same as basic net income per share of common stock for the period.

#### Redeemable Shares of Class A Common Stock

All of the 69,000,000 shares of Class A common stock sold as parts of the Units in the Public Offering contain a redemption feature. In accordance with FASB ASC 480, redemption provisions not solely within our control require the security to be classified outside of permanent equity. Ordinary liquidation events, which involve the redemption and liquidation of all of the entity’s equity instruments, are excluded from the provisions of FASB ASC 480. Although we have not specified a maximum redemption threshold, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that in no event will we redeem our public shares in an amount that would cause our net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

Accordingly, at September 30, 2018, 66,095,174 of the 69,000,000 shares of our Class A common stock were classified outside of permanent equity at its redemption value.

#### Offering Costs

We comply with the requirements of the FASB ASC 340-10-S99-1 and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5A —“Expenses of Offering.” We incurred offering costs in connection with our Public Offering of $992,949. These costs, together with the upfront underwriter discount and deferred discount of $37,950,000, were charged to the shares of our Class A common stock and warrants upon the closing of our Public Offering.

#### Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our financial statements.

## Market risk

As filed, 627 characters.

As of September 30, 2018, we were not subject to any material market or interest rate risk. The net proceeds of the Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants, including amounts in the Trust Account, were invested in money market funds that meet certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there was no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

We have not engaged in any hedging activities since our inception. We do not expect to engage in any hedging activities with respect to the market risk to which we are exposed.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 1,486 characters.

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer (who serves as our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial and Accounting Officer), to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, our Chief Executive Officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2018. Based upon his evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## Risk factors

As filed, 805 characters.

Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our prospectus dated June 7, 2018 filed with the SEC on June 8, 2018. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our prospectus dated June 7, 2018 filed with the SEC on June 8, 2018. However, we may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
