Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
.
On August 28, 2018, PJT Partners Inc. (the "Company") announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC ("CamberView"), a leading advisory firm providing independent advice to assist public company boards of directors and management teams in building strong and successful relationships with investors. CamberView has extensive experience advising clients in all aspects of corporate governance and shareholder activism, including contested situations.
The Company, PJT Partners Holdings LP, an affiliate of the Company ("Purchaser"), Blue Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser ("Merger Sub"), CamberView and CC CVP Partners Holdings, L.L.C., solely in its capacity as securityholder representative, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 27, 2018 (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, Merger Sub will merge with and into CamberView  (the "Merger"), with CamberView being the surviving entity and the Company being the ultimate parent company of CamberView.
Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company will acquire 100% ownership of CamberView in exchange for total consideration of approximately $165 million, comprised of approximately $100 million of equity in a combination of Class A common stock and common units of partnership interest in Purchaser ("Partnership Units") and $65 million of cash, subject to net working capital and other adjustments as set forth in the Agreement.
Shares of the Company's Class A common stock and Partnership Units will be issued pursuant to exemptions from registration provided by Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Certain members of management of CamberView have entered into employment agreements with Purchaser that become effective upon the closing of the Merger. The Company will also grant restricted stock and/or units and other deferred compensation, subject to service or service and market conditions, to a broad-based group of CamberView employees.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various customary conditions, including the termination or expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Act. The parties anticipate closing the Merger early in the fourth quarter of 2018.
In addition, on August 27, 2018, the Company and CC CVP Partners Holdings, L.L.C., in its capacity as securityholder representative, entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which, among other things, the Company granted registration rights to certain unitholders of CamberView that are being issued shares of Class A common stock and Partnership Units in the transaction.
