• GAAP net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was $28.1 million, as compared with $38.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.

• A distribution was declared of$0.55 per Class A unit, bringing aggregate distributions relating to the last 12 months to $1.92.

LOS ANGELES, CA. April 28, 2016 – Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (NYSE: OAK) today reported its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

Jay Wintrob, Chief Executive Officer, said, “Despite significant market volatility in the first quarter, we had a good beginning to 2016, highlighted by growing management fees and a 25% increase in fee-related earnings over the same quarter a year ago.  We continue to make steady progress on a number of important closed-end fundraises and are increasingly optimistic about our ability to prudently deploy our near-record amount of dry powder.”

Assets under management (“AUM”) were $96.9 billion as of March 31, 2016, down 1% from $97.4 billion as of December 31, 2015 and 3% from $99.9 billion as of March 31, 2015. Management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) reached $79.9 billion as of March 31, 2016, up 1% from $78.9 billion as of December 31, 2015 and 2% from $78.5 billion as of March 31, 2015.

The year-over-year growth in management fee-generating AUM stemmed largely from the commencement of investment periods by four closed-end funds. As of March 31, 2016, total uncalled capital commitments (so-called “dry powder”) were $21.4 billion. Of this, $12.2 billion was not yet generating management fees (so-called “shadow AUM”). Gross capital raised was $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2016 and $13.4 billion for the last twelve months.

Adjusted net income (“ANI”) declined to $105.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $150.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. Distributable earnings declined to $125.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $135.2 million for the first quarter of 2015. Both declines reflected lower incentive income and, for ANI, lower investment income, partially offset by higher fee-related earnings.

1

In addition to ANI, Oaktree calculates economic net income (“ENI”) to facilitate comparisons with other alternative asset managers that report a measure similar to ENI as a performance metric. Unlike ANI, ENI measures incentive income based on the market values of the funds’ holdings. ENI was $41.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, as compared to $223.5 million for the first quarter of 2015. Per Class A unit, ENI was $0.13 for the first quarter of 2016, as compared to $1.24 for the first quarter of 2015.

GAAP-basis results for the first quarter of 2016 included net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC of $28.1 million, as compared to $38.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Closed-end funds that Oaktree is currently marketing include Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VII, Oaktree Opportunities Fund Xb, Oaktree Infrastructure Fund, Oaktree European Capital Solutions Fund, Oaktree European Principal Fund IV and Oaktree Real Estate Debt Fund II.

(1) In the fourth quarter of 2015, the definition of adjusted net income was modified to reflect differences with respect to (a) third-party placement costs associated with closed-end funds, which under GAAP are expensed as incurred, but for ANI are capitalized and amortized as general and administrative expense in proportion to the associated management fee stream, and (b) gains and losses resulting from foreign-currency transactions and hedging activities, which under GAAP are recognized as general and administrative expense whether realized or unrealized in the current period, whereas for ANI unrealized gains and losses from foreign-currency hedging activities are deferred until realized, at which time they are included in the same revenue or expense line item as the underlying exposure that was hedged. Foreign-currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net. Prior periods have not been recast for the change related to third-party placement costs, but have been recast to retroactively reflect the change related to foreign-currency hedging. Placement costs associated with closed-end funds amounted to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2015, and remain expensed as incurred in that period for both GAAP and ANI purposes. Please refer to the Glossary for more information.

Operating Metrics

Assets Under Management

AUM was $96.9 billion as of March 31, 2016, $97.4 billion as of December 31, 2015 and $99.9 billion as of March 31, 2015. The $0.5 billion decrease since December 31, 2015 reflected $2.0 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors and $1.0 billion of net outflows from open-end funds, partially offset by $1.0 billion in aggregate market-value gains, $0.9 billion of aggregate capital inflows for closed-end funds and $0.6 billion of favorable foreign-currency translation.

The $3.0 billion decrease in AUM since March 31, 2015 reflected $5.3 billion of distributions to closed-end fund investors, $3.7 billion of net outflows from open-end funds, $3.6 billion in aggregate market-value declines and a $0.5 billion decline in uncalled capital commitments for closed-end funds entering or in liquidation, partially offset by $9.3 billion of aggregate capital inflows for closed-end funds and $0.7 billion of favorable foreign-currency translation. Capital inflows for closed-end funds included $3.8 billion for Oaktree Opportunities Funds X and Xb (“Opps X and Xb”), $2.1 billion for Oaktree Real Estate Opportunities Fund VII (“ROF VII”), $0.9 billion for collateralized loan obligation vehicles (“CLOs”) and $0.6 billion for Oaktree Principal Fund VI (“PF VI”). Distributions to closed-end fund investors included $1.8 billion from Distressed Debt funds, $1.6 billion from Control Investing funds and $1.0 billion from Real Estate funds.

Management Fee-generating Assets Under Management

Management fee-generating AUM, a forward-looking metric, was $79.9 billion as of March 31, 2016, $78.9 billion as of December 31, 2015 and $78.5 billion as of March 31, 2015. The $1.0 billion increase since December 31, 2015 reflected an aggregate $0.9 billion increase from capital drawn by funds that pay fees based on drawn capital, NAV or cost basis and additional capital commitments for Opps X, as well as $0.8 billion of aggregate market-value gains and $0.5 billion of favorable foreign-currency translation. The increase was partially offset by $1.0 billion of net outflows from open-end funds and a $0.4 billion decline attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation.

The $1.4 billion increase in management fee-generating AUM since March 31, 2015 reflected an aggregate $6.9 billion from the investment-period commencement of Oaktree Power Opportunities Fund IV (“Power Fund IV”) and PF VI in November 2015, and of Opps X and ROF VII as of January 1, 2016, $1.7 billion of aggregate fee-generating leverage and drawdowns by closed-end funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital, NAV or cost basis, and $0.5 billion of favorable foreign-currency translation. These increases were partially offset by $3.7 billion of net outflows from open-end funds, $2.4 billion in aggregate market-value declines and $2.3 billion attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation.

Incentive-creating Assets Under Management

Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) were $31.2 billion as of March 31, 2016, $31.9 billion as of December 31, 2015 and $34.5 billion as of March 31, 2015. The $0.7 billion decrease since December 31, 2015 reflected the net effect of $0.7 billion in drawdowns by closed-end funds, $2.0 billion in distributions from closed-end funds, $0.3 billion in aggregate market-value gains and $0.2 billion of favorable foreign-currency translation. The $3.3 billion decrease since March 31, 2015 reflected the net effect of $3.5 billion in drawdowns by closed-end funds, $5.6 billion in distributions from closed-end funds, $1.5 billion in aggregate market-value declines and $0.3 billion of favorable foreign-currency translation.

Of the $31.2 billion in incentive-creating AUM as of March 31, 2016, $16.5 billion, or 53%, was generating incentives at the fund level, as compared with $25.4 billion, or 74%, of the $34.5 billion of incentive-creating AUM as of March 31, 2015.

Accrued Incentives (Fund Level) and Incentives Created (Fund Level)

Accrued incentives (fund level) were $1.4 billion as of March 31, 2016, $1.6 billion as of December 31, 2015, and $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2015. The first quarter of 2016 reflected $46.3 million of negative incentives created (fund level) and $96.6 million of segment incentive income recognized.

Net of incentive income compensation expense, accrued incentives (fund level) were $747.7 million as of March 31, 2016, $811.5 million as of December 31, 2015, and $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, December 31, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the portion of net accrued incentives (fund level) represented by funds that were currently paying incentives was $294.1 million, $292.1 million and $419.8 million, respectively, with the remainder arising from funds that as of that date were not at the stage of their cash distribution waterfall where Oaktree was entitled to receive incentives, other than possibly tax-related distributions.

Uncalled Capital Commitments

Uncalled capital commitments were $21.4 billion as of March 31, 2016, $21.7 billion as of December 31, 2015, and $17.2 billion as of March 31, 2015. Capital drawn by closed-end funds during the quarter and twelve months ended March 31, 2016 aggregated $0.8 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively, as compared with $1.6 billion and $8.3 billion for the comparable prior-year periods.

Segment Results

Revenues

Segment revenues declined $83.5 million, or 21.1%, to $312.9 million in the first quarter of 2016, from $396.4 million in the first quarter of 2015, reflecting $11.2 million in higher management fees, $56.3 million in lower incentive income and $38.4 million in lower investment income.

Management Fees

Management fees grew $11.2 million, or 5.9%, to $201.3 million in the first quarter of 2016, from $190.1 million in the first quarter of 2015. The growth reflected an aggregate increase of $30.3 million principally from the start of investment periods for Power Fund IV, PF VI, Opps X and ROF VII. This increase was partially offset by an aggregate decline of $19.1 million primarily attributable to closed-end funds in liquidation and net outflows and market-value declines in open-end funds.

Incentive Income

Incentive income decreased $56.3 million, or 36.8%, to $96.6 million in the first quarter of 2016, from $152.9 million in the first quarter of 2015. The first quarter of 2016 included tax-related incentive distributions of $72.7 million and other incentive distributions of $23.9 million, as compared with $129.4 million and $23.5 million, respectively, in the prior-year period.

Investment Income

Investment income decreased $38.4 million, or 71.8%, to $15.1 million in the first quarter of 2016, from $53.5 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decline reflected a $23 million impairment charge on our investments in certain of our CLOs, predominantly stemming from holdings in energy-related companies. After giving effect to the impairment charge, as of March 31, 2016 these CLOs represented $59.2 million of our total CLO carrying value of $144.0 million. Our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine Capital LP and its affiliates (collectively, “DoubleLine”) accounted for investment income of $15.1 million and $14.6 million in the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, of which performance fees accounted for $0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

5

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits decreased $4.6 million, or 4.2%, to $104.3 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $108.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, in part reflecting variations in annual bonus accruals.

Equity-based Compensation

Equity-based compensation increased $3.7 million, or 52.9%, to $10.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $7.0 million for the first quarter of 2015. The increase reflected non-cash amortization expense associated with vesting of Class A and OCGH unit grants made to employees and directors subsequent to our 2012 initial public offering.

Incentive Income Compensation

Incentive income compensation expense decreased $40.4 million, or 44.8%, to $49.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $90.1 million for the first quarter of 2015. The percentage decrease was larger than the corresponding decline of 36.8% in incentive income, primarily as a result of catch-up tax distributions related to incentive interests awarded to certain investment professionals.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased $1.9 million, or 6.4%, to $31.5 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $29.6 million for the first quarter of 2015, reflecting higher general operating expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.3 million, or 68.4%, to $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $1.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, in part reflecting amortization of leasehold improvements associated with office space expansion.

Adjusted Net Income

ANI decreased $45.0 million, or 30.0%, to $105.0 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $150.0 million for the first quarter of 2015, reflecting declines of $16.0 million in incentive income, net of incentive income compensation expense (“net incentive income”), and $38.4 million in investment income, partially offset by a $12.6 million increase in fee-related earnings. The portion of ANI attributable to our Class A units was $30.2 million, or $0.49 per unit, and $36.7 million, or $0.81 per unit, for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The effective tax rate applied to ANI for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 was 28% and 16%, respectively, resulting from estimated full-year effective rates of 23% and 19%, respectively. The effective tax rate applied to ANI for the first quarter of 2016 was based on an estimated full-year effective tax rate on income that can be reliably forecasted, combined with tax expense in the current period on incentive income and any other income that cannot be reliably estimated. We would expect variability in tax rates between quarters and full years, because the effective tax rate is a function of the mix of income and other factors, each of which can have a material impact on the particular period’s income tax expense and often vary significantly within or between years. In general, the annual effective tax rate increases as the proportion of ANI arising from fee-related earnings, DoubleLine-related investment income, and certain incentive and investment income rises, and vice versa.

Distributable Earnings

Distributable earnings declined $9.5 million, or 7.0%, to $125.7 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $135.2 million for the first quarter of 2015, reflecting decreases of $16.0 million in net incentive income and $6.3 million in investment income proceeds, partially offset by a $12.6 million increase in fee-related earnings. For the first quarter of 2016, investment income proceeds totaled $26.5 million, including $12.9 million from fund distributions and $13.6 million from DoubleLine, as compared with total investment income proceeds in the prior-year quarter of $32.8 million, of which $24.0 million and $12.4 million was attributable to fund distributions and DoubleLine,

6

respectively. The portion of distributable earnings attributable to our Class A units was $0.68 and $0.77 per unit for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively, reflecting distributable earnings per Operating Group unit of $0.82 and $0.88, respectively, less costs borne by Class A unitholders for professional fees and other expenses, cash taxes attributable to the Intermediate Holding Companies and amounts payable pursuant to the tax receivable agreement.

Fee-related Earnings

Fee-related earnings grew $12.6 million, or 25.3%, to $62.4 million for the first quarter of 2016, from $49.8 million for the first quarter of 2015. The increase reflected $11.2 million of higher management fees, $4.6 million of lower compensation and benefits, and $1.9 million of higher general and administrative expense. The portion of fee-related earnings attributable to our Class A units was $0.37 and $0.28 per unit for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The effective tax rate applicable to fee-related earnings for the first quarters of2016 and 2015 was 7% and 11%, respectively, resulting from estimated full-year effective rates of 7% and 10%, respectively.  The rate used for interim fiscal periods is based on the estimated full-year effective tax rate, which is subject to change as the year progresses. In general, the annual effective tax rate increases as annual fee-related earnings increase, and vice versa.

GAAP-basis Results

Net income attributable to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC was $28.1 million for the first quarter of 2016, as compared to $38.3 million for the first quarter of 2015.

(1) In the first quarter of 2016, Oaktree adopted the new consolidation and collateralized financing entity guidance under the modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach did not require prior periods to be recast. The adoption resulted in the deconsolidation of substantially all of Oaktree’s closed-end and commingled open-end and evergreen funds.

(1) Our business is comprised of one segment, our investment management segment, which consists of the investment management services that we provide to our clients. The components of revenues and expenses used in determining adjusted net income do

11

not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree's proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are classified for segment reporting as expenses and under GAAP as other income. In addition, adjusted net income excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) acquisition-related items, including amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, (c) differences arising from equity value units (“EVUs”) that are classified as liability awards under GAAP but as equity awards for segment reporting, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies, and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the definition of adjusted net income was modified to reflect differences with respect to (a) third-party placement costs associated with closed-end funds, which under GAAP are expensed as incurred, but for adjusted net income are capitalized and amortized as general and administrative expense in proportion to the associated management fee stream, and (b) gains and losses resulting from foreign-currency transactions and hedging activities, which under GAAP are recognized as general and administrative expense whether realized or unrealized in the current period, but for adjusted net income unrealized gains and losses from foreign-currency hedging activities are deferred until realized, at which time they are included in the same revenue or expense line item as the underlying exposure that was hedged. Foreign-currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net. Prior periods have not been recast for the change related to third-party placement costs, but have been recast to retroactively reflect the change related to foreign-currency hedging. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in adjusted net income when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. CLO investments are carried at fair value for GAAP reporting, whereas for segment reporting they are carried at amortized cost, subject to any impairment charges. Investment income on CLO investments is recognized in adjusted net income when cash distributions are received. Cash distributions are allocated between income and return of capital based on the effective yield method. Adjusted net income is calculated at the Operating Group level. For additional information regarding the reconciling adjustments discussed above, please see Exhibit A.

(2) Interest income was $1.3 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

(3) Uncalled capital commitments represent undrawn capital commitments by partners (including Oaktree as general partner) of our closed-end funds through their investment periods and certain evergreen funds. If a fund distributes capital during its investment period, that capital is typically subject to possible recall, in which case it is included in uncalled capital commitments.

(4) Our funds record as accrued incentives the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the gross amount of potential incentives generated by the funds during the period. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment incentive income. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income are no longer included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals. Incentives created (fund level), incentive income and accrued incentives (fund level) are presented gross, without deduction for direct compensation expense that is owed to our investment professionals associated with the particular fund when we earn the incentive income. We call that charge “incentive income compensation expense.” Incentive income compensation expense varies by the investment strategy and vintage of the particular fund, among many factors.

(1) These amounts represent capital commitments to funds that pay fees based on committed capital, as well as the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash related to new CLO formations.

(2) These amounts represent the change for funds that pay fees based on the lesser of funded capital or cost basis during the liquidation period, as well as recallable distributions at the end of the investment period. For most closed-end funds, management fees are charged during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital or (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund, with the cost basis of assets generally calculated by excluding cash balances. Thus, changes in fee basis during the liquidation period are not dependent on distributions made from the fund; rather, they are tied to the cost basis of the fund’s investments, which generally declines as the fund sells assets.

(3) The change in uncalled capital commitments reflects declines attributable to funds entering their liquidation periods, as well as capital contributions to funds in their liquidation periods for deferred purchase obligations or other reasons.

(4) These amounts represent distributions by funds that pay fees based on NAV, as well as reductions in the par value of collateral assets and principal cash resulting from the repayment of debt as return of principal by CLOs.

(5) The change in market value reflects certain funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable, as well as changes in the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by CLOs.

(1) In the fourth quarter of 2015, the definition of adjusted net income was modified to reflect differences with respect to (a) third-party placement costs associated with closed-end funds, which under GAAP are expensed as incurred, but for adjusted net income are capitalized and amortized as general and administrative expense in proportion to the associated management fee stream, and (b) gains and losses resulting from foreign-currency transactions and hedging activities, which under GAAP are recognized as general and administrative expense whether realized or unrealized in the current period, whereas for adjusted net income unrealized gains and losses from foreign-currency hedging activities are deferred until realized, at which time they are included in the same revenue or expense line item as the underlying exposure that was hedged. Foreign-currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net. Prior periods have not been recast for the change related to third-party placement costs, but have been recast to retroactively reflect the change related to foreign-currency hedging. Placement costs associated with closed-end funds amounted to $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2015, and remain expensed as incurred in that period for both GAAP and ANI purposes.

Non-Operating Group expenses	(0.01		)	(0.01		)
Distribution per Class A unit (2).	$	0.55		$	0.64

(1) This adjustment characterizes a portion of the distributions received from funds as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a fund distribution is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends. Additionally, any impairment charges on our CLO investments included in adjusted net income are, for distributable earnings purposes, amortized over the remaining investment period of the respective CLO, in order to align with the timing of expected cash flows.

(2) With respect to the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the distribution was announced on April 28, 2016 and is payable on May 13, 2016.

(1) Drawn capital reflects the capital contributions of investors in the fund, net of any distributions to such investors of uninvested capital.

(2) Accrued incentives (fund level) exclude Oaktree segment incentive income previously recognized.

(3) Unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return reflects the amount the fund needs to distribute to its investors as a return of capital and a preferred return (as applicable) before Oaktree is entitled to receive incentive income (other than tax distributions) from the fund.

(4) The internal rate of return (“IRR”) is the annualized implied discount rate calculated from a series of cash flows. It is the return that equates the present value of all capital invested in an investment to the present value of all returns of capital, or the discount rate that will provide a net present value of all cash flows equal to zero. Fund-level IRRs are calculated based upon the actual timing of cash contributions/distributions to investors and the residual value of such investor’s capital accounts at the end of the applicable period being measured. Gross IRRs reflect returns before allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund’s general partner. To the extent material, gross returns include certain transaction, advisory, directors or other ancillary fees (“fee income”) paid directly to us in connection with our funds’ activities (we credit all such fee income back to the respective fund(s) so that our funds’ investors share pro rata in the fee income’s economic benefit). Net IRRs reflect returns to non-affiliated investors after allocation of management fees, expenses and any incentive allocation to the fund’s general partner.

(5) Multiple of drawn capital is calculated as drawn capital plus gross income and, if applicable, fee income before fees and expenses divided by drawn capital.

(6) The IRR is not considered meaningful (“nm”) as the period from the initial capital contribution through March 31, 2016 was less than 18 months.

(7) Legacy funds represent certain predecessor funds within the relevant strategy that have substantially or completely liquidated their assets, including funds managed by certain Oaktree investment professionals while employed at the Trust Company of the West prior to Oaktree’s founding in 1995. When these employees joined Oaktree upon, or shortly after, its founding, they continued to manage the fund through the end of its term pursuant to a sub-advisory relationship between the Trust Company of the West and Oaktree.

(8) A portion of this fund pays management fees based on drawn, rather than committed, capital.

(9) Management fees during the investment period are calculated on drawn, rather than committed, capital. As a result, as of March 31, 2016 management fee-generating AUM included only that portion of committed capital that had been drawn.

(10) Due to differences in the allocation of income and expenses to this fund’s two primary limited partners, the U.S. Treasury and Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, a combined net IRR is not presented. Of the $2,322 million in capital commitments, $1,161 million related to the Oaktree PPIP Private Fund, whose gross and net IRR were 24.7% and 18.6%, respectively.

(11) Aggregate IRRs or totals are based on the conversion of cash flows or amounts, respectively, from euros to USD using the March 31, 2016 spot rate of $1.14.

(12) The fund includes co-investments of $482 million in AUM, most of which do not pay management fees or an incentive allocation. These co-investments have been excluded from the calculation of gross and net IRR, as well as the unreturned drawn capital plus accrued preferred return amount and multiple of drawn capital. The fund follows the American-style distribution waterfall, whereby the general partner may receive an incentive allocation as soon as it has returned the drawn capital and paid a preferred return on the fund’s realized investments (i.e., on a deal-by-deal basis). However, such cash distributions of incentives may be subject to repayment, or clawback. As of March 31, 2016, Oaktree had not recognized any incentive income from this fund. The accrued incentives (fund level) amount shown for this fund represents Oaktree’s effective 8% of the potential incentives generated by this fund in accordance with the terms of the Highstar acquisition.

23

(13) The fund’s partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.3% and Class B interests was 8.1%. The combined net IRR for Class A and Class B interests was 9.5%.

(14) The fund’s partnership interests are divided into Class A and Class B interests, with the Class A interests having priority with respect to the distribution of current income and disposition proceeds. The net IRR for Class A interests was 10.8% and Class B interests was 10.5%. The combined net IRR for the Class A and Class B interests was 10.6%.

(15) This includes our closed-end Senior Loan funds, Oaktree Asia Special Situations Fund, OCM Asia Principal Opportunities Fund, CLOs, a non-Oaktree fund, certain separate accounts, co-investments and certain evergreen separate accounts in our Real Estate Debt, Emerging Markets Opportunities and Emerging Markets Total Return strategies.

(16) This excludes two closed-end funds with management fee-generating AUM aggregating $534 million as of March 31, 2016, which has been included as part of the Strategic Credit strategy within the evergreen funds table, and includes certain evergreen separate accounts in our Real Estate Debt, Emerging Markets Opportunities and Emerging Markets Total Return strategies with an aggregate $547 million of management fee-generating AUM.

(17) The aggregate change in drawn capital for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $0.8 billion.

Accrued incentives (fund level) represents the incentive income that would be paid to us if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. Incentives created (fund level) refers to the gross amount of potential incentives generated by the funds during the period. We refer to the amount of incentive income recognized as revenue by us as segment incentive income. Amounts recognized by us as incentive income are no longer included in accrued incentives (fund level), the term we use for remaining fund-level accruals.

Adjusted net income (“ANI”) is a measure of profitability for our investment management segment. The components of revenues (“segment revenues”) and expenses used in the determination of ANI do not give effect to the consolidation of the funds that we manage. Segment revenues include investment income (loss) that is classified in other income (loss) in the GAAP-basis statements of operations. Segment revenues and expenses also reflect Oaktree's proportionate economic interest in Highstar, whereby amounts received for contractually reimbursable costs are classified for segment reporting as expenses and under GAAP as other income. In addition, ANI excludes the effect of (a) non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, (b) acquisition-related items, including amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability, (c) differences arising from equity value units (“EVUs”) that are classified as liability awards under GAAP but as equity awards for segment reporting, (d) income taxes, (e) other income or expenses applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies, and (f) the adjustment for non-controlling interests. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the definition of ANI was modified to reflect differences with respect to (a) third-party placement costs associated with closed-end funds, which under GAAP are expensed as incurred, but for ANI are capitalized and amortized as general and administrative expense in proportion to the associated management fee stream, and (b) gains and losses resulting from foreign-currency transactions and hedging activities, which under GAAP are recognized as general and administrative expense whether realized or unrealized in the current period, but for ANI unrealized gains and losses from foreign-currency hedging activities are deferred until realized, at which time they are included in the same revenue or expense line item as the underlying exposure that was hedged. Foreign-currency transaction gains and losses are included in other income (expense), net. Prior periods have not been recast for the change related to third-party placement costs, but have been recast to retroactively reflect the change related to foreign-currency hedging. Incentive income and incentive income compensation expense are included in ANI when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, which may be later than the time at which the same revenue or expense is included in the GAAP-basis statements of operations, for which the revenue standard is fixed or determinable and the expense standard is probable and reasonably estimable. CLO investments are carried at fair value for GAAP reporting, whereas for segment reporting they are carried at amortized cost, subject to any impairment charges. Investment income on CLO investments is recognized in ANI when cash distributions are received. Cash distributions are allocated between income and return of capital based on the effective yield method. ANI is calculated at the Operating Group level.

Adjusted net income–OCG, or adjusted net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ANI attributable to their ownership. Adjusted net income-OCG represents ANI including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Two of our Intermediate Holding Companies incur federal and state income taxes for their shares of Operating Group income. Generally, those two corporate entities hold an interest in the Operating Group’s management fee-generating assets and a small portion of its incentive and investment income-generating assets. As a result, historically our fee-related earnings and investment income arising from our one-fifth ownership stake in DoubleLine generally have been subject to corporate-level taxation, and most of our incentive income and investment income generally has not been subject to corporate-level taxation. Thus, the blended effective income tax rate has generally tended to be higher to the extent that fee-related earnings and DoubleLine-related investment income represented a larger proportion of our ANI. Myriad other factors affect income tax expense and the effective income tax rate, and there can be no assurance that this historical relationship will continue going forward.

Assets under management (“AUM”) generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the NAV of the assets we manage, the fund-level leverage on which management fees are charged, the undrawn capital that we are entitled to

26

call from investors in our funds pursuant to their capital commitments and the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by our CLOs. Our AUM includes amounts for which we charge no management fees.

• Management fee-generating assets under management (“management fee-generating AUM”) is a forward-looking metric and reflects the beginning AUM on which we will earn management fees in the following quarter. Our closed-end funds typically pay management fees based on committed capital or drawn capital during the investment period, without regard to changes in NAV, and during the liquidation period on the lesser of (a) total funded capital or (b) the cost basis of assets remaining in the fund. The annual management fee rate remains unchanged from the investment period through the liquidation period. Our open-end and evergreen funds typically pay management fees based on their NAV, and our CLOs pay management fees based on the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash held by them, as defined in the applicable CLO indentures. As compared with AUM, management fee-generating AUM generally excludes the following:

◦ Differences between AUM and either committed capital or cost basis for most closed-end funds, other than for closed-end funds that pay management fees based on NAV and leverage, as applicable;

◦ Undrawn capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods;

◦ Undrawn capital commitments to funds for which management fees are based on drawn capital or NAV;

◦ The investments we make in our funds as general partner;

◦ Closed-end funds that are beyond the term during which they pay management fees and co-investments that pay no management fees; and

◦ AUM in restructured and liquidating evergreen funds for which management fees were waived.

• Incentive-creating assets under management (“incentive-creating AUM”) refers to the AUM that may eventually produce incentive income. It represents the NAV of our funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation, excluding CLOs and investments made by us and our employees and directors (which are not subject to an incentive allocation). All funds for which we are entitled to receive an incentive allocation are included in incentive-creating AUM, regardless of whether or not they are currently generating incentives. Incentive-creating AUM does not include undrawn capital commitments.

Consolidated funds refers to the funds and CLOs that Oaktree is required to consolidate as of the respective reporting date.

Distributable earnings is a non-GAAP performance measure derived from our segment results that we use to measure our earnings at the Operating Group level without the effects of the consolidated funds for the purpose of, among other things, assisting in the determination of equity distributions from the Operating Group. However, the declaration, payment and determination of the amount of equity distributions, if any, is at the sole discretion of our board of directors, which may change our distribution policy at any time.

Distributable earnings and distributable earnings revenues differ from ANI in that they exclude segment investment income or loss and include the receipt of investment income or loss from distributions by our investments in funds and companies. Additionally, any impairment charges on our CLO investments included in ANI are, for distributable earnings purposes, amortized over the remaining investment period of the respective CLO, in order to align with the timing of expected cash flows. In addition, distributable earnings differs from ANI in that it is net of Operating Group income taxes and excludes non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering.

Distributable earnings–OCG, or distributable earnings per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of distributable earnings attributable to their ownership.  Distributable earnings-OCG represents distributable earnings, including the effect of (a) the OCGH

27

non-controlling interest, (b) expenses, such as current income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) amounts payable under a tax receivable agreement.  The income tax expense included in distributable earnings-OCG represents the implied current provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-OCG.

Economic net income (“ENI”) is a non-GAAP measure that we use to evaluate the financial performance of our segment by applying the “Method 2,” instead of the “Method 1,” revenue recognition approach to accounting for incentive income. ANI follows Method 1, except incentive income is recognized when the underlying fund distributions are known or knowable as of the respective quarter end, as opposed to the fixed or determinable standard of Method 1. The Method 2 approach followed by ENI recognizes incentive income as if the funds were liquidated at their reported values as of the date of the financial statements. ENI is computed by adjusting ANI for the change in accrued incentives (fund level), net of associated incentive income compensation expense, during the period.

Economic net income revenues is a non-GAAP measure applying the Method 2, instead of the Method 1, approach to accounting for segment incentive income, and reflects the adjustments described above and under the definition of ANI.

Economic net income–OCG, or economic net income per Class A unit, a non-GAAP measure, is calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of ENI attributable to their ownership. Economic net income-OCG represents ENI, including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG.  The income tax expense included in economic net income-OCG represents the implied provision for income taxes calculated using an approach similar to that which is used in calculating the income tax provision for adjusted net income-OCG.

Equity value units (“EVUs”) represent special limited partnership units in Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P. (“OCGH”) that entitle the holder the right to receive a one-time special distribution that will be settled in OCGH units, based on value created during a specified period (“Term”) in excess of a fixed “Base Value.” The value created will be measured on a per unit basis, based on Class A unit trading prices and certain components of quarterly distributions with respect to the period during the Term. EVUs also give the holder the right, subject to service vesting and Oaktree performance relative to the accreting Base Value, to receive certain quarterly distributions from OCGH. EVUs do not entitle the holder to any voting rights.

Fee-related earnings (“FRE”) is a non-GAAP measure that we use to monitor the baseline earnings of our business. FRE is comprised of segment management fees (“fee-related earnings revenues”) less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering. FRE is considered baseline because it applies all cash compensation and benefits other than incentive income compensation expense, as well as all general and administrative expenses, to management fees, even though a significant portion of those expenses is attributable to incentive and investment income. FRE is presented before income taxes.

Fee-related earnings–OCG, or fee-related earnings per Class A unit, is a non-GAAP measure calculated to provide Class A unitholders with a measure that shows the portion of FRE attributable to their ownership. Fee-related earnings–OCG represents FRE including the effect of (a) the OCGH non-controlling interest, (b) other income or expenses, such as income tax expense, applicable to OCG or its Intermediate Holding Companies and (c) any Operating Group income taxes attributable to OCG. Fee-related earnings–OCG income taxes is calculated excluding any segment incentive income or investment income (loss).

Intermediate Holding Companies collectively refers to the subsidiaries wholly owned by us.

Net asset value (“NAV”) refers to the value of all the assets of a fund (including cash and accrued interest and dividends) less all liabilities of the fund (including accrued expenses and any reserves established by us, in our discretion, for contingent liabilities) without reduction for accrued incentives (fund level) because they are reflected in the partners’ capital of the fund.

28

Oaktree, OCG, we, us, our or the Company refers to Oaktree Capital Group, LLC and, where applicable, its subsidiaries and affiliates.

Oaktree Operating Group (“Operating Group”) refers collectively to the entities in which we have a minority economic interest and indirect control that either (i) act as or control the general partners and investment advisers of our funds or (ii) hold interests in other entities or investments generating income for us.

Relevant Benchmark refers, with respect to:

• our U.S. High Yield Bond strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Cash-Pay Capped Index;

• our Global High Yield Bond strategy, to an Oaktree custom global high yield index that represents 60% BofA Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Constrained Index and 40% BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers 3% Constrained, ex-Russia Index – USD Hedged from inception through December 31, 2012, and the BofA Merrill Lynch Non-Financial Developed Markets High Yield Constrained Index – USD Hedged thereafter;

• our European High Yield Bond strategy, to the BofA Merrill Lynch Global Non-Financial High Yield European Issuers excluding Russia 3% Constrained Index (USD Hedged);

• our European Senior Loan strategy, to the Credit Suisse Western European Leveraged Loan Index (EUR Hedged);

• our U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, to an Oaktree custom convertible index that represents the Credit Suisse Convertible Securities Index from inception through December 31, 1999, the Goldman Sachs/Bloomberg Convertible 100 Index from January 1, 2000 through June 30, 2004, and the BofA Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertibles Index thereafter;

• our non-U.S. Convertible Securities strategy, to an Oaktree custom non-U.S. convertible index that represents the JACI Global ex-U.S. (Local) Index from inception through December 31, 2014 and the Thomson Reuters Global Focus ex-U.S. (USD hedged) Index thereafter;

• our High Income Convertible Securities strategy, to the Citigroup U.S. High Yield Market Index; and

• our Emerging Markets Equities strategy, to the Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Index (Net).

Sharpe Ratio refers to a metric used to calculate risk-adjusted return. The Sharpe Ratio is the ratio of excess return to volatility, with excess return defined as the return above that of a riskless asset (based on the three-month U.S. Treasury bill, or for our European senior loan strategy, the Euro Overnight Index Average) divided by the standard deviation of such return. A higher Sharpe Ratio indicates a return that is higher than would be expected for the level of risk compared to the risk-free rate.

(1) Fee-related earnings is a component of adjusted net income and is comprised of segment management fees less segment operating expenses other than incentive income compensation expense and non-cash equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering.

(2) This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from fee-related earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

(3) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of incentive income and incentive income compensation expense between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG.

(4) This adjustment adds back the effect of differences in the recognition of investment income related to corporate investments in CLOs which under GAAP are marked-to-market but for segment reporting are accounted for at amortized cost, subject to impairment between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG.

(5) This adjustment adds back the effect of (a) equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made before our initial public offering, which is excluded from adjusted net income and fee-related earnings because it is a non-cash charge that does not affect our financial position, and (b) differences arising from EVUs that are classified as liability awards under GAAP but as equity awards for segment reporting.

(6) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences with respect to the recognition of third-party placement costs associated with closed-end funds between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG.

(7) This adjustment adds back the effect of timing differences associated with the recognition of unrealized gains and losses related to foreign-currency hedging between adjusted net income and net income attributable to OCG.

(8) This adjustment adds back the effect of acquisition-related items associated with the amortization of intangibles and changes in the contingent consideration liability.

(9) Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are pre-tax measures, this adjustment adds back the effect of income tax expense.

(10) Because adjusted net income and fee-related earnings are calculated at the Operating Group level, this adjustment adds back the effect of items applicable to OCG, its Intermediate Holding Companies or non-controlling interests.

(1) This adjustment adds back segment investment income, which with respect to investments in funds is initially largely non-cash in nature and is thus not available to fund our operations or make equity distributions.

(2) This adjustment eliminates the portion of distributions received from funds characterized as receipts of investment income or loss. In general, the income or loss component of a distribution from a fund is calculated by multiplying the amount of the distribution by the ratio of our investment’s undistributed income or loss to our remaining investment balance. In addition, if the distribution is made during the investment period, it is generally not reflected in distributable earnings until after the investment period ends.

(3) This adjustment adds back the effect of equity-based compensation expense related to unit grants made after our initial public offering, which is excluded from distributable earnings because it is non-cash in nature and does not impact our ability to fund our operations or make equity distributions.
