Section 9. Financial Statements and Exhibits
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A dated June 5, 2015 amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Greenhill & Co., Inc. on April 7, 2015 concerning the acquisition of Cogent Partners, LP (“Cogent”) by Greenhill & Co., Inc. (“Greenhill”), referred to as the “Acquisition”, by adding this Item 9.01 and Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto. This Form 8-K/A includes the required historical financial information of Cogent and the required pro forma financial statements of the combined entity, each as required by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K. Cogent's historical financial results should not be viewed as indicative of the contribution to our results that will be made in the future by the former managing directors and other employees of Cogent. Cogent's business, like Greenhill’s, is based on fees earned on transactions that are singular in nature and on engagements that are not likely to recur. As a result, high activity levels in any period are not necessarily indicative of continued high levels of activity in the next-succeeding or any other future period.
(a) | Financial statements of business acquired. | ||
Cogent Partners, LP | |||
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto are the audited consolidated financial statements of Cogent Partners, LP as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 and accompanying notes thereto | |||
Attached as Exhibit 99.2 hereto are the unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cogent Partners, LP as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and accompanying notes thereto | |||
(b) | Pro forma financial information. | ||
Attached as Exhibit 99.3 hereto are the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of Greenhill as of March 31, 2015 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income of Greenhill for the year ended December 31, 2014 and for the three months ended March 31, 2015 including explanatory footnotes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of Greenhill | |||
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma data is not necessarily indicative of what Greenhill’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the transaction been completed at and as of the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of Greenhill. | |||
