CUSIP No. 819047 101                Schedule 13D/A                    


Preliminary Note
This Amendment No. 3, dated January 20, 2016 (this "Amendment No. 3"), supplements and amends the Schedule 13D filed on February 17, 2015 (as amended and supplemented to date, the "Schedule 13D") relating to shares of Class A common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "A-Common"), of Shake Shack Inc. (the "Issuer"). Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 3 and not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4.        Purpose of Transaction

Pursuant to a Stockholders Agreement, dated as of February 4, 2015, as amended, by and among the Issuer, the Reporting Person, Union Square Cafe Corp. ("USC"), Gramercy Tavern Corp. ("GT"), Union Square Hospitality Group, LLC and Daniel H. Meyer 2012 Gift Trust (collectively, the "Meyer Stockholders") and other signatories party thereto, the Meyer Stockholders have the right to cause all of the shares of USC and GT to be converted into and exchanged for shares of the Issuer's A-Common pursuant to a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). The Meyer Stockholders made such an election with respect to USC.  To effect the reorganization under 368(a) of the Code, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer merged with and into USC, which then merged with and into the Issuer, resulting in (i) cancellation of the shares of Class B common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the "B-Common"), of the Issuer held by USC, (ii) transfer of the common membership interests in SSE Holdings, LLC (the "LLC Interests") held by USC to the Issuer, and (iii) the conversion and exchange of common stock of USC held by the shareholders of USC for shares of A-Common. As a stockholder of USC, the Reporting Person (through the Daniel H. Meyer Investment Trust) received 1,390,218 shares of A-Common in exchange for shares of USC, representing 80.462% interest in USC. The other stockholders of USC received an aggregate of 337,586 shares of A-Common, representing their aggregate 19.528% interest.

Item 5.        Interest in Securities of the Issuer


Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and restated in its entirety by inserting the following information:

(a) – (b)

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person beneficially owns the number and percentage of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding listed opposite its name, assuming the full redemption of LLC Interests in exchange for A-Common and a corresponding reduction in the number of B-Common.

Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

On December 24, 2015 (the “First Effective Time”), SSI USC Merger Sub, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Issuer (the “Merger Sub”), and USC entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger #1). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger #1, Merger Sub merged with and into USC, as a result of which the ownership interest of the shareholders of USC outstanding prior to the Effective Time (the “shares”) were converted into and exchanged for an amount of shares of A-Common, based upon the amount of shares held by the shareholders of USC, at the exchange rate of one to one. A Certificate of Merger was filed with the New York State Department of State Division of Corporations on the First Effective Time.
On December 28, 2015 (the “Second Effective Time”), USC and the Issuer entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Agreement and Plan of Merger #2). Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger #2, USC merged with and into the Issuer, as a result of which (i) each share of B-Common held by USC immediately prior to the Second Effective Time was cancelled and (ii) the LLC Interests held by USC immediately prior to the Second Effective Time were transferred to the Issuer. A Certificate of Ownership was filed with the State of Delaware Secretary of State Division of Corporations on the Second Effective Time.
