Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.  

(e)  On December 10, 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of PJT Partners Inc. (the “Company”) determined that annual bonus amounts payable in respect of fiscal 2015 to partners (which includes the named executive officers of the Company) may be paid entirely in cash at such time or times as determined by the Compensation Committee, instead of having a portion of the annual bonus payments deferred into restricted stock units of the Company under the PJT Partners Inc. Bonus Deferral Plan (the “Bonus Deferral Plan”). Any portion of the annual bonus payment that otherwise would have been deferred under the Bonus Deferral Plan would be subject to repayment obligations (i.e., a clawback) on terms determined by the Compensation Committee in its discretion.
