ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

This prospectus supplement is being filed to amend, supplement and correct the information that appears under the caption “Selling Stockholders” in the Prospectus. Capitalized terms that are not defined in this prospectus supplement are defined in the Prospectus.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

The selling stockholders named below may offer from time to time in the future up to an aggregate of 14,006,795 shares of our Class A common stock, as of March 29, 2016. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the selling stockholders collectively hold 11,627,041 LLC Units in The Habit Restaurants, LLC and 2,379,754 restricted shares of Class A common stock. Pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, each LLC Unit of The Habit Restaurants, LLC held by the selling stockholders is exchangeable for, generally, at the option of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. (such determination to be made by the disinterested members of our board of directors), (i) cash consideration (generally calculated based on the volume-weighted average price of the Class A common stock of The Habit Restaurants, Inc., as displayed under the heading Bloomberg VWAP on the Bloomberg page designated for the Class A common stock of The Habit Restaurants, Inc. for the 15 trading days immediately prior to the delivery date of a notice of exchange) or (ii) shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications.

The following table sets forth the selling stockholders’ beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock as of March 29, 2016. Each selling stockholder has the right to exchange any (but no less than 1,000 LLC Units, except with our consent) or all of such selling stockholder’s LLC Units in accordance with the LLC Agreement. The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned after this offering for each selling stockholder assumes the exchange by the selling stockholders of all LLC Units owned by them for the equivalent number of our shares of Class A common stock and sale of all such shares offered by the selling stockholders and that each selling stockholder does not acquire any additional shares or units. Information in the table below with respect to beneficial ownership has been furnished by each of the selling stockholders. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The selling stockholders listed in the table below may have sold, transferred, otherwise disposed of or purchased, or may sell, transfer, otherwise dispose of or purchase, at any time and from time to time, LLC Units or shares of our Class A common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in the open market after the date on which they provided the information set forth in the table below. The maximum number of shares of Class A common stock offered hereby assumes the selling stockholders exchange all of their LLC Units held on the date on which they provided the information set forth in the table below and we elect to satisfy all exchange requests by issuing only shares of Class A common stock. Assuming we do issue shares of our Class A common stock to a holder of LLC Units upon an exchange, such holder may offer for sale all, some or none of such shares of Class A common stock. Therefore, it is difficult to estimate with any degree of certainty the aggregate number of shares that the selling stockholders will ultimately offer pursuant to this prospectus or that the selling stockholders will ultimately own upon completion of the offering to which this prospectus relates. The following table does not take into effect any restrictions on ownership or transfer as described in “Description of Capital Stock.”

Information about additional selling stockholders, if any, including their identities and the Class A common stock to be registered on their behalf, may be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment or in filings that we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Information concerning the selling stockholders may change from time to time. Any changes to the information provided below will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in a post-effective amendment or in filings we make with the SEC under the Exchange Act, which are incorporated by reference into this prospectus if and when necessary.

The selling stockholders named below and their permitted transferees, pledgees, orderees or other successors may from time to time offer the shares of our Class A common stock offered by this prospectus:
