EXPLANATORY STATEMENT – DEREGISTRATION OF CLASS A UNITS
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on FormS-8 (RegistrationNo. 333-210485) filed by Oaktree Capital Group, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company”), on March 30, 2016 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The Registration Statement registered 10,000,000 units of Class A units representing limited liability company interests (the “Class A Units”) of the Company issuable under the Oaktree Capital Group, LLC 2011 Incentive Plan, as amended.
On September 30, 2019, the Company completed a series of transactions (the “Mergers”) pursuant to which each outstanding Class A Unit was converted into the right of the holder thereof to receive, without interest and subject to any withholding taxes, either (1) $49.00 in cash or (2) 1.0770 Class A Limited Voting Shares of Brookfield (as defined below). The Mergers were effected pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 13, 2019, between the Company, Brookfield Asset Management Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Brookfield”), Oslo Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P. (“SellerCo”), a Delaware limited partnership, Oslo Holdings Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned-subsidiary of the Company (“Seller MergerCo”) and Berlin Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield (“Merger Sub”), pursuant to which (1) Merger Sub was merged with and into the Company (the “Initial Merger”), with the Company continuing as the surviving entity and (2) immediately following the Initial Merger, SellerCo was merged with and into Seller MergerCo, with Seller MergerCo continuing as the surviving entity.
As a consequence of the Mergers, the Company has terminated all offerings of the Class A Units under the Registration Statement. In accordance with the undertakings made by the Company in the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of RegulationS-K, and in accordance with Rule 478 under the Securities Act, the Company hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement, solely all units of Class A Units registered under the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof.
