Ares Management Corporation (NYSE: ARES) (“Ares” or the “Company”) today announced the pricing of its previously announced underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) of 27,000,000 shares of Series B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock”), of the Company at a public offering price of $50.00 per share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. In addition, Ares has granted to the underwriters of the Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at the public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions, solely to cover over-allotments. The Offering is expected to close on or about October 10, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.

Ares intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for (i) the payment of a portion of the cash consideration due in respect of the Company’s previously announced acquisition of the international business of GLP Capital Partners Limited and certain of its affiliates, excluding its operations in Greater China (“GCP International”), and existing capital commitments to certain managed funds (the “GCP Acquisition”) and related fees, costs and expenses and/or (ii) general corporate purposes, including repayment of debt, other strategic acquisitions and growth initiatives. Pending such use, Ares may invest the net proceeds in short-term investments and/or repay borrowings under its subsidiaries’ revolving credit facility.

The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will accumulate cumulative dividends at a rate per annum equal to 6.75% on the liquidation preference thereof, which is $50 per share, payable when, as and if declared by Ares’ board of directors, quarterly in arrears on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2025 and ending on, and including, October 1, 2027. Unless previously converted or redeemed, each outstanding share of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert, for settlement on or about October 1, 2027, into between 0.2717 and 0.3260 shares of Ares’ Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. The preferred stockholders will have the right to convert all or any portion of their shares of Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock at any time before the mandatory conversion settlement date. Ares will have the right to redeem all, but not less than all, of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock if the GCP Acquisition has not closed within a specified period of time.
