NORTHSTAR ASSET MANAGEMENT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information and related notes present the historical condensed consolidated financial information of NorthStar Asset Management Group Inc. (the “Company”) and Townsend Holdings LLC (“Townsend”) after giving effect to the Company’s acquisition of Townsend that was completed on January 29, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information give effect to the Company’s acquisition of Townsend based on assumptions, reclassifications and adjustments described in the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information.
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 is presented as if the Company acquired Townsend on December 31, 2015. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 is presented as if the Company had acquired Townsend on January 1, 2015.
The allocation of the purchase price of Townsend used in these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements has been based upon preliminary estimates of the fair value of assets acquired. A final determination of the fair value of the acquired assets will be based on the valuation of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Townsend that existed, if any, as of the date of the acquisition. Consequently, the preliminary amounts allocated to tangible and intangible assets could change significantly from those used in the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations presented and could result in a material change in depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets. The fair value is a preliminary estimate and may be adjusted within one year of the acquisition in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
This unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and is not necessarily indicative of what the actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Company completed the proposed transaction as of the beginning of the period presented, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include all significant necessary adjustments that can be factually supported to reflect the effects of the acquisition.

(1)
Represents the Company’s audited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and audited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015.
(2)
Represents Townsend’s audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015 and audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. Certain balances reported in Townsend’s financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the Company’s presentation.
The following pro forma adjustments are based on our preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to change:
(3)
Included in this amount is $6.7 million of transaction costs not reflected in the historical financial statements. Transaction costs relate to advisory, legal and other professional services and are factually supportable as such amounts are based on invoices received. The remainder represents cash of the Company used in connection with the transaction.
(4)
Represents elimination of Townsend’s historical intangible assets offset by the estimated fair value of intangible assets in connection with the preliminary purchase price allocation. The fair value is a preliminary estimate and may be adjusted within one year of the proposed transaction in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The fair value of the intangible assets is determined primarily using the “income approach” which requires management forecasts of all of the expected future cash flow. The following table summarizes the estimated fair value of Townsend’s identifiable intangible assets and their estimated useful lives (dollars in thousands):

$

(i)
Includes $17.8 million of goodwill related to a deferred tax liability associated with the share deal acquisition of the seller’s corporate entity. The deferred tax liability and corresponding goodwill is recorded at acquisition based on tax basis differences.

This preliminary estimate of fair value and estimated useful lives could differ from the final amount the Company will calculate after completing a detailed valuation analysis and the difference could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.
(5)
Represents notes receivable from members of Townsend paid off concurrent with the transaction.
(6)
Represents the issuance of a $500 million term loan used to fund the transaction and repay the Company’s revolving credit facility of $100 million. The Company incurred $30.8 million of deferred financing costs relating to the term loan. The term loan accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR (subject to a floor of 0.75%) plus a margin of 3.875%. The borrowing under the term loan facility matures on January 29, 2023.

(i)
Represents the adjustment to reflect fair value of contingent obligations associated with the claw back feature, relating to incentive fee revenue previously received from the co-investment funds. The fair value is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation and may be adjusted within one year of the transaction in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(ii)
Represents the liability of approximately 50% of the incentive fee previously received that is due to certain employees of Townsend.
(iii)
Represents the elimination of Townsend’s compensation arrangements that were canceled in connection with the transaction.

(2,450
)
(ii) 
Deferred tax liability

(iii) 
Total
 
$
29,522

 
(i)
Represents an increase of $14.6 million for Townsend’s obligation to pay the cost basis and related income on certain co-investment funds to certain employees of Townsend. The rights to income on the co-investment funds were assigned to such employees as part of the transaction. The liability is recorded as an offset to the fair value of the co-investment funds. Accordingly, $2.0 million of income related to the co-investment funds are eliminated from the pro forma condensed statement of operations as they are non-recurring in nature for the Company.
(ii)
Represents the repayment of Townsend’s borrowings of $2.5 million paid off concurrent with the transaction.
(iii)
Represents elimination of Townsend’s historical deferred tax liability of $0.4 million related to the book to tax difference of intangible assets previously recorded, offset by the $17.8 million deferred tax liability associated with the share deal acquisition of the seller’s corporate entity. The deferred tax liability and corresponding goodwill is recorded at acquisition based on tax basis differences.
(9)
Represents the fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interests retained by management of Townsend.
(10)
Represents the elimination of Townsend’s historical equity.
(11)
Represents the elimination of interest income on the notes receivable that were paid off in connection with the transaction.
(12)
Represents $24.8 million of interest expense on the term loan, of which $21.2 million is contractual interest and $3.6 million is the amortization of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million of interest and other fees related to Townsend’s borrowings that were repaid. If market rates of interest changed by 1/8 of 1% variance, then the increase or decrease on the floating rate interest expense would be approximately $0.6 million.
(13)
Represents the elimination of transaction costs incurred through December 31, 2015. These costs are non-recurring in nature directly related to the transaction.
(14)
Represents the elimination of Townsend’s historical compensation expense on compensation arrangements that were canceled in connection with the transaction.
(15)
Represents the reversal of Townsend’s historical equity-based compensation expense of $8.6 million, offset by an estimated equity-based compensation expense related to grants to certain members of Townsend management relating to post-acquisition services of $1.3 million. The Company granted 658,330 shares of restricted shares of common stock to certain members of Townsend’s management team who also own an interest in Townsend, subject to time-based vesting conditions through December 31, 2020. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis using the grant date fair value.
(16)
Represents the income tax benefit in connection with the transaction.
(17)
Represents the allocation of the pro forma net income to redeemable and non-redeemable non-controlling interests holders.
(18)
The weighted average shares used to compute basic and diluted earnings per share represents the number of weighted average shares assumed to be outstanding as of the transaction date, excluding unvested shares granted to Townsend employees as they were not dilutive for the period presented.

NORTHSTAR ASSET MANAGEMENT GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.     Basis of Presentation
The historical consolidated financial statements have been adjusted in the pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements to give effect to pro forma events that are: (i) directly attributable to the transaction; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results following the business combination.
The business combination was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations. As the acquirer for accounting purposes, the Company has estimated the fair value of Townsend’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily reflect what the consolidated company’s financial condition or results of operations would have been had the acquisition occurred on the dates indicated. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of the consolidated company. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
The pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements do not reflect the realization of any expected cost savings or other synergies from the acquisition of Townsend as a result of restructuring activities and other planned cost savings initiatives following the completion of the business combination.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the presentation of Townsend’s historical financial statements in order to conform with the Company’s financial statement presentation.
2.    Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation
The Company performed a preliminary valuation analysis of the fair value of Townsend’s assets and liabilities. The implied enterprise value of Townsend is $466 million (difference between total assets and total liabilities in the table below) and the Company purchased approximately 84% for $383 million, net of post-closing adjustments. The following table summarizes the allocation of the preliminary purchase price as of the acquisition date (in thousands):

This preliminary purchase price allocation has been used to prepare pro forma adjustments in the pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet and statement of operations. The final purchase price allocation will be determined when the Company has completed the detailed valuations and necessary calculations. The final allocation could differ materially from the preliminary allocation used in the pro forma adjustments. The final allocation may include: (i) changes in allocations to intangible assets such as trade names technology and customer relationships as well as goodwill; and (ii) other changes to assets and liabilities.
