On November 17, 2017, OMAM Inc. (“OMAM”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Redemption Agreement (the "Redemption Agreement") with OMAM (HFL) Inc., a Delaware corporation and indirect subsidiary of the Company (“Seller”), and Heitman LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Heitman”). Pursuant to the Redemption Agreement, Heitman shall redeem all of Seller’s membership interests in Heitman for cash consideration totaling $110 million (the “Purchase Price”). In addition, the Company shall continue to receive its share of distributable profits from Heitman for 2017 until the date that definitive debt financing documentation is executed by Heitman to fund the Purchase Price (the “Financing Date”).
The consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Redemption Agreement is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among others, the receipt of debt financing by Heitman to fund the Purchase Price. Heitman has received a commitment letter with respect to the debt financing.

The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Redemption Agreement have been made only for the purposes of the Redemption Agreement and solely for the benefit of the parties to the Redemption Agreement, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures, may have been made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the Redemption Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Accordingly, the Redemption Agreement is included with this filing only to provide investors with information regarding the terms of the Redemption Agreement, and not to provide investors with any other factual information regarding the parties or their respective businesses, and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures in the Company’s periodic reports and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A copy of the Redemption Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Redemption Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Redemption Agreement.
