Merger Agreement”), entered into
by and among the Reporting Person, the Issuer, Sculptor Capital LP, a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of the Issuer (“
Capital LP”), Sculptor Capital Advisors LP, a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of the Issuer (“
Advisors
LP”), Sculptor Capital Advisors II LP, a Delaware limited partnership and subsidiary of the Issuer (“

with Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Merger Sub Inc., the “
Merger Subs”), among other things, (i) Merger Sub Inc. merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving such merger as the surviving corporation (the “
Public Merger”),
(ii) Merger Sub I merged with and into Capital LP, with Capital LP surviving such merger as the surviving partnership (“
LP Merger I”), (iii) Merger Sub II merged with and into Advisors LP, with Advisors LP surviving such merger as the
surviving partnership (“
LP Merger II”), and (iv) Merger Sub III merged with and into Advisors II LP, with Advisors II LP surviving such merger as the surviving partnership (“
LP Merger III” and, collectively with LP Merger I and LP
Merger II, the
“LP Mergers,” and the LP Mergers, collectively with the Public Merger, the “
Mergers” and collectively with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “
Transactions”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Public Merger (the “Effective Time”), (i) each share of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares) was canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $12.70, without interest, (ii) each share of Issuer Class B common stock issued and outstanding immediately
prior to the Effective Time was canceled and no payment was made in respect thereof, (iii) all Issuer common stock owned directly by the Reporting Person, Merger Sub Inc. or any of their subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time or held
in treasury of the Issuer were canceled and retired without any conversion thereof and ceased to exist and no payment was made in respect thereof, and (iv) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Merger Sub Inc. issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time was converted into and became one (1) fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. The Issuer’s outstanding compensatory awards were treated pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the LP Mergers (the “LP Mergers Effective Time”), each Class A common unit of the Operating Partnerships (“LP Class A
Unit”), Class A-1 common unit of the Operating Partnerships (“LP Class A-1 Unit”), Class E common unit of the Operating Partnerships (“LP Class E Unit”), Class P common unit of the Operating Partnerships (“LP Class P Unit”)
and Class P-4 common unit of the Operating Partnerships (“LP Class P-4 Unit”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LP Mergers Effective Time that was vested at the LP Mergers Effective Time or vested as a result of the
consummation of the Transactions, in each case, in accordance with the limited partnership agreements of the Operating Partnerships (the “Operating Partnership LPAs”), and any applicable award agreement (but excluding (x) any units of the
Operating Partnerships that were owned directly by the Reporting Person, the LP Merger Subs or any of their subsidiaries or held in treasury of the Operating Partnerships and (y) Unvested Units (as defined below)) were converted into the right to
receive an amount in cash equal to the applicable per-unit amount that a holder of such unit of the Operating Partnership (an “Operating Partnership Unit”) was entitled to receive in a liquidity event pursuant to the terms of each of the
Operating Partnership LPAs (where the aggregate amount payable by the Operating Partnerships was $177,856,138, payable to the holder thereof, without interest, which equated to approximately $7.33 for each LP Class A Unit and each LP Class A-1 Unit
and $0 for each LP Class E Unit, LP Class P Unit and LP Class P-4 Unit.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the LP Mergers Effective Time, (i) each Operating Partnership Unit held by a Sculptor service provider that was unvested at the LP Mergers Effective Time and that did
not vest as a result of the consummation of the Transactions (the “Unvested Units”), (ii) each LP profit sharing interest and (iii) each Class C non-equity interest of the Operating Partnerships, in each case of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii),
ceased to exist and no payment was made in respect thereof. Additionally, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the LP Mergers Effective Time, (a) each Class B common unit of the Operating Partnerships (the “LP Class B Units”) that was issued
and outstanding immediately prior to the LP Mergers Effective Time continued to remain outstanding as LP Class B Units of the applicable Surviving Limited Partnership following the LP Mergers Effective Time, (b) each general partner interest of
Sculptor Capital Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Sculptor (the “General Partner”), as general partner of each Operating Partnership, outstanding immediately prior to the LP Mergers Effective Time remained
outstanding following the LP Mergers Effective Time and the General Partner continued as the general partner of each Operating Partnership, and (c) each issued and outstanding limited partner interest of Merger Sub I, Merger Sub II and Merger Sub
III issued and outstanding immediately prior to the LP Mergers Effective Time was converted into one (1) Class A common unit of the applicable Surviving Limited Partnership and the holder of such limited partner interest of Merger Sub I, Merger Sub
II and Merger Sub III was admitted as a limited partner of the applicable Surviving Limited Partnership.
The funds used to finance the Transactions were working capital of the Reporting Person.
Following the closing of the Transactions, the Reporting Person owned 1,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer.
Following the consummation of the Transactions, the Issuer notified The New York Stock Exchange that the Transactions had been completed, and requested that The New York Stock Exchange suspend trading
of the Class A Common Stock on The New York Stock Exchange. The Issuer also requested that The New York Stock Exchange file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a notification of removal from listing and registration on Form
25 to effectuate the delisting of all shares of Class A Common Stock from The New York Stock Exchange and the deregistration of such shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). As a
result, shares of the Class A Common Stock will no longer be listed on The New York Stock Exchange. In addition, the Issuer intends to file a certification on Form 15 with the SEC requesting the termination of registration of all shares of the
Class A Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of the Issuer’s reporting obligations under Section 13 of the Exchange Act with respect to all shares of Common Stock.
| Item 5. |
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
|
(a)-(b) As of the date hereof, the Reporting Person directly holds 1,000 shares of common stock of the Issuer, representing 100.0% of the outstanding Issuer common stock
immediately following the closing of the Transactions.
(c) Except as set forth in this Schedule 13D, no transaction in Class A Common Stock has been effected by the Reporting Person since the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the
Schedule 13D filed on
October 13, 2023.
