<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On March 26, 2012, Artio Global Investors Inc. (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;)
provided notice that on March 30, 2012, it intends to terminate its Credit Agreement dated September 4, 2009, with certain lenders,
including Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the &ldquo;Credit Agreement&rdquo;) and repay the remaining principal
balance of $37.5 million that is due to be paid by the scheduled maturity date of October 15, 2012 (the &ldquo;Maturity Date&rdquo;),
and all other amounts outstanding.&nbsp;&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Credit Agreement consists of a $60.0 million three-year
term credit facility, a $50.0 million three-year revolving credit facility (which was increased to $100.0 million in accordance
with the terms of the Credit Agreement in January 2011) and contains customary affirmative, negative and financial covenants and
events of default. The Company previously borrowed $60.0 million in October 2009 under the term credit facility, but did not borrow
any funds under the revolving credit facility.&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">The Company has the financial resources to repay the balance
of the term debt facility and views it as increasingly unlikely that it will need to utilize the undrawn credit facility prior
to the Maturity Date. Additionally, as a result of the early termination, the Company will avoid incurring further interest and
commitment fee charges and will not incur any early termination penalties.</P>
