STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We are offering to exchange, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, cash and newly issued shares of our Class&nbsp;A common
stock for all our outstanding 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes due 2029 (the &#147;Notes&#148;). We refer to the $1,000 fixed cash amount and the shares to be issued in exchange for our Notes as the &#147;Offer Consideration&#148; in this prospectus.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:3%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The total value of the Offer Consideration per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for exchange will equal (i)&nbsp;$495
plus (ii) the Average VWAP (as defined herein) multiplied by 60.5274. The Offer Consideration will be paid by (i)&nbsp;a fixed cash payment of $1,000 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for exchange in this exchange offer and (ii)&nbsp;a
number of shares of our Class A common stock equal to the quotient of the total value of the Offer Consideration less the fixed cash payment, divided by the Average VWAP. As discussed below, cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares based upon
the Average VWAP. In no event will the total value of the Offer Consideration paid in this exchange offer be less than $1,000 or more than $1,631, in each case, per $1,000 principal amount of Notes accepted for exchange in this exchange offer.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:3%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Holders whose Notes are accepted for exchange will also be entitled to receive a cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest
on the Notes to, but excluding, the settlement date. We will not issue fractional shares of our Class&nbsp;A common stock in the exchange offer. Instead, we will pay cash for all fractional shares on the settlement date based upon the Average VWAP.
All amounts payable pursuant to the exchange offer will be rounded to the nearest cent. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:3px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:3%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Throughout the exchange offer, an
indicative Offer Consideration will be available at http://www.gbsc-usa.com/SAH and from the Information Agent (as defined herein), which may be contacted at one of its telephone numbers listed on the back cover of this prospectus. We will determine
the final Offer Consideration promptly after the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the &#147;NYSE&#148;) on Friday, July 27, 2012 (as such date may be extended, the &#147;Pricing Date&#148;). We will announce the final Offer
Consideration no later than 4:30 p.m., New York City time, on the Pricing Date, and details regarding the final Offer Consideration will also be available by that time at http://www.gbsc-usa.com/SAH and from the Information Agent. If the Offer
Consideration will equal the maximum Offer Consideration of $1,631, then the exchange offer will be automatically extended (a &#147;Mandatory Extension&#148;) until 12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the second trading day following
the Pricing Date to permit holders of Notes to tender or withdraw their Notes during those days. See &#147;The Exchange Offer&#151;Extension of the Offer; Termination; Amendment.&#148; </FONT></P>

terminated by us. We refer to this date as the &#147;expiration date.&#148; Notes must be validly tendered for exchange in the exchange offer on or prior to the expiration date to receive the Offer Consideration. Notes tendered for exchange in the
exchange offer may be withdrawn at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the exchange offer, all Notes validly tendered in the exchange offer and not properly withdrawn prior to
12:00 midnight, New York City time, at the end of the expiration date will be accepted in the exchange offer. You should carefully review the procedures for tendering Notes beginning on page 32 of this prospectus. </B> </FONT></P>

trade at a discount to the price at which they would trade if the exchange offer was not consummated. The smaller outstanding principal amount of the Notes may also make the trading price of the Notes more volatile. If the exchange offer is
consummated, there might not be an active market in the Notes and the absence of an active market could adversely affect your ability to trade the Notes or the prices at which the Notes may be traded. </FONT></P>

amount of the Notes may also make the trading prices of the Notes more volatile. If the exchange offer is consummated, there might not be an active market in the Notes and the absence of an active market could adversely affect your ability to trade
the Notes or the prices at which the Notes may be traded. See &#147;Risk Factors &#151; The liquidity of any market that currently exists for the Notes may be adversely affected by the exchange offer, and holders of the Notes who fail to properly

taking into consideration our historic and projected results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, capital requirements, covenant compliance, share repurchases, current economic environment and other factors considered relevant. These
factors are considered each quarter and will be scrutinized as our Board of Directors determines our future dividend policy. There is no guarantee that additional dividends will be declared and paid at any time in the future. </FONT></P>

subject to the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, including Section&nbsp;203. In general, Section&nbsp;203 prohibits a public Delaware corporation from engaging in a &#147;business combination&#148; and certain other
transaction with an &#147;interested stockholder&#148; for a period of three years after the date of the transaction in which such person became an interested stockholder unless: (a)&nbsp;prior to such date, the Board of Directors approved either
the business combination or the transaction, which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder; or (b)&nbsp;upon becoming an interested stockholder, the stockholder then owned at least 85% of the voting stock, as defined in
Section&nbsp;203; or (c)&nbsp;subsequent to such date, the business combination is approved by both the Board of Directors and by holders of at least 66 2/3% of the corporation&#146;s outstanding voting stock, excluding shares owned by the
interested stockholder. For these purposes, the term &#147;business combination&#148; includes mergers, asset sales and other similar transactions with an &#147;interested stockholder.&#148; An &#147;interested stockholder&#148; is a person who,
together with affiliates and associates, owns (or, within the prior three years, did own) 15% or more of the corporation&#146;s voting stock. Although Section&nbsp;203 permits a corporation to elect not to be governed by its provisions, Sonic to

of stockholders may be called only by the Chairman or by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary at the request in writing of a majority of Sonic&#146;s Board of Directors. Sonic&#146;s bylaws also provide that no action required to be taken or
that may be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting; the powers of stockholders to consent in writing, without a meeting, to the taking of any action is specifically denied. These provisions may make it
more difficult for stockholders to take action opposed by the Board of Directors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Advance Notice Requirements for
Stockholders Proposals and Director Nominations. </I>Sonic&#146;s bylaws provide that stockholders seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual or a special
meeting of stockholders, must provide timely notice thereof in writing. To be timely, a stockholder&#146;s notice must be delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive office of Sonic, (a)&nbsp;in the case of an annual meeting
that is called for a date that is within 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders, not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to such anniversary date, and, (b)&nbsp;in the case
of an annual meeting that is called for a date that is not within 30 days before or after the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, or in the case of a special meeting of stockholders called for the purpose of electing
directors, not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the meeting was made, whichever occurs first. Our bylaws also specify
certain requirements for a stockholder&#146;s notice to be in proper written form. These provisions may preclude some stockholders from bringing matters before the stockholders at an annual or special meeting or from making nominations for directors
at an annual or special meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Conflict of Interest Procedures.</I> Sonic&#146;s charter contains provisions providing

uncertain because it is unclear as to whether the exchange is a recapitalization pursuant to section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code (a &#147;recapitalization&#148;) or a taxable exchange. Whether the exchange is a recapitalization or a
taxable exchange will depend upon whether the Notes qualify as &#147;securities&#148; for purposes of the reorganization provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. We have not obtained a legal opinion as to whether the Notes are &#147;securities&#148;
and whether the exchange of the Notes for Class A common stock is a recapitalization or a taxable exchange. However, as discussed below, whether the exchange is treated as a recapitalization or as a taxable exchange should cause little difference in
your tax consequences. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">There is no clear tax authority to determine whether the Notes are &#147;securities&#148; for United
States federal income tax purposes. Neither the Internal Revenue Code nor the Treasury regulations define the term &#147;security,&#148; and the term has not been clearly defined by judicial decisions. The determination of whether a debt instrument
constitutes a &#147;security&#148; depends upon an evaluation of the nature of the debt instrument based on all the facts and circumstances. In this regard, the term of the debt instrument is particularly important. Ordinarily, debt instruments with
short-term maturities when issued are not considered securities, while debt instruments with long-term maturities when issued are likely to be considered securities. Provisions for early redemptions at the option of the issuer and repurchases by the
issuer at the option of the holders may affect the term to maturity for purposes of determining whether a debt instrument is a security. The distinction between short-term and long-term maturities will vary depending on the particular facts and
circumstances and there are numerous other factors to be considered in determining whether a debt instrument constitutes a security, including security for payment, the creditworthiness of the obligor, the subordination or lack thereof to other
creditors, convertibility of the instrument into an equity interest of the obligor, the right to vote or otherwise participate in the management of the obligor, the similarity of the debt instrument to a cash payment and the purpose of the
borrowing. In general the tax authorities hold that debt instruments having a term of five years or less are not securities. Because the Notes contain provisions for redemption at our option and repurchase by us at the option of the holders, at par,
on the fifth anniversary of their issuance, it is possible that they may be construed as having a term to maturity of only five years. There is limited authority to the effect that in certain circumstances where there is a continuity-of-creditor
interest a debt instrument of five years or less may be considered a security. However, the facts involved in such holdings are not the same as the facts at hand. </FONT></P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;145 permits a corporation to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses (including attorney&#146;s fees),
judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by a third party if such directors or officers acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, indemnification may be made only for
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors and officers in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the
action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant officers or directors are reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Section&nbsp;102(b)(7) provides that a corporation may eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director (i)&nbsp;for any breach of the director&#146;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or
its stockholders, (ii)&nbsp;for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&nbsp;for willful or negligent conduct in paying dividends or repurchasing stock out of other than
lawfully available funds or (iv)&nbsp;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. No such provision shall eliminate or limit the liability of a director for any act or omission occurring prior to the date when
such provision becomes effective. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Sonic maintains insurance against liabilities under the Securities Act for the benefit of
