Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
(a) In connection with the initial public offering of Class A Common Stock, which was consummated on July 29, 2013 (the “Offering”), the Existing Owners entered into certain reorganization transactions that included, among other things, (i) amending and restating the limited liability company agreement of JEH LLC; (ii) amending and restating the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation to reclassify its existing common stock into Class B Common Stock and to authorize Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock; (iii) entering into a restructuring agreement; and (iv) entering into the Exchange Agreement.
The Issuer, JEH LLC and the Existing Owners entered into a restructuring agreement (the “Restructuring Agreement”), pursuant to which the parties agreed to effect a recapitalization of the equity ownership in the Issuer and JEH LLC (the “Reorganization”), immediately prior to the closing of the Offering.
The Restructuring Agreement, in conjunction with the JEH LLC Agreement (as defined in Item 6 below), effected the following recapitalization transactions:
(i) Immediately prior to the closing of the Offering, all of the limited liability company interests in JEH LLC held by the Existing Owners were exchanged for a number of JEH LLC Units equal to 36,836,333 multiplied by such Existing Owner’s proportionate share of JEH LLC;
(ii) At the closing of the Offering, JEH LLC exchanged its shares of common stock of the Issuer for shares of Class B Common Stock and immediately distributed such shares to the Existing Owners in proportion to the number of JEH LLC Units held by each Existing Owner; and
(iii) Upon consummation of the Offering, the Issuer contributed the net proceeds from the Offering to JEH LLC in exchange for JEH LLC Units.
The Restructuring Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 4.
Furthermore, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, the Existing Owners are permitted to exchange their JEH LLC Units (and a corresponding number of shares of Class B Common Stock) for shares of Class A Common Stock (on a one-for-one basis, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassification and other similar transactions). The Class B Common Stock is not registered under Section 12 of the Act and has only voting rights and no economic rights. The Existing Owners together hold all of the issued and outstanding Class B Common Stock. The shares of the Class B Common Stock and JEH LLC Units entitle the Intermediate LLCs collectively to up to 47.0% of the Issuer’s combined economic interest and voting power.
The Reporting Persons, along with certain other shareholders of the Issuer, have registration rights with respect to the Class A Common Stock, as described in Item 6.

Exchange Agreement
See Items 2 and 4. The Exchange Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
Restructuring Agreement
See Item 4. The Restructuring Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
Third Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of JEH LLC
In connection with the Reorganization and the Offering, JEH LLC and the Existing Owners entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of JEH LLC (the “JEH LLC Agreement”) to, among other things, recapitalize JEH LLC, such that each member’s ownership of the various classes of units thereof was replaced with one authorized class of units therein. Pursuant to the restructuring transactions described in the Restructuring Agreement above, the various classes of units in JEH LLC which were outstanding immediately prior to the recapitalization were cancelled and 36,836,333 JEH LLC Units were issued in exchange therefor and (ii) 12,500,000 JEH LLC Units were issued to the Issuer in connection with the Offering. The Issuer is the sole managing member of JEH LLC and generally has the authority to operate and control JEH LLC.
Distributions
Under the JEH LLC Agreement, the Issuer has the right to determine when distributions will be made to the holders of JEH LLC Units and the amount of any such distributions. If the Issuer authorizes a distribution, such distribution will be made to the holders of JEH LLC Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of JEH LLC Units. The holders of JEH LLC Units, will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their proportionate share of any taxable income of JEH LLC and will be allocated their proportionate share of any taxable loss of JEH LLC. Net profits and net losses of JEH LLC generally will be allocated to holders of JEH LLC Units on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of JEH LLC Units, except that certain non-pro rata adjustments will be required to be made to reflect built-in gains and losses and tax depletion, depreciation and amortization with respect to such built-in gains and losses.
The JEH LLC Agreement provides, to the extent cash is available, for distributions to the holders of JEH LLC Units if the Issuer, as the managing member of JEH LLC, determines that the taxable income of JEH LLC will give rise to taxable income for a unitholder. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on the Issuer’s estimate of the taxable income of JEH LLC that is allocable to a holder of JEH LLC Units, multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual resident in New York, New York (taking into account the nondeductibility of certain expenses and the character of our income). In addition, if the cumulative amount of federal, state and local taxes payable by the Issuer exceeds the amount of the tax distribution to the Issuer, JEH LLC will make advances to the Issuer in an amount necessary to enable the Issuer to fully pay these tax liabilities. Such advances will be repayable, without interest, solely from (i.e., by offset against) future distributions by JEH LLC to the Issuer.
Issuance and Redemption of Class A Common Stock by the Issuer
The JEH LLC Agreement provides that, except as otherwise determined by the Issuer, at any time the Issuer issues a share of Class A Common Stock or any other equity security of the Issuer, the net proceeds received by the Issuer with respect to such issuance, if any, shall be concurrently invested in JEH LLC, and JEH LLC shall issue to the Issuer one JEH LLC Unit or other economically equivalent equity interest. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired, JEH LLC shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of JEH LLC Units held by the Issuer, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of Class A Common Stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired.
Business Activities
Under the JEH LLC Agreement, the members have agreed that certain Existing Owners and/or one or more of their respective affiliates are permitted to engage in business activities or invest in or acquire businesses which may compete with the Issuer’s business or do business with any client thereof.
Dissolution and Liquidation
JEH LLC will be dissolved only upon the first to occur of (i) the sale of substantially all of its assets or (ii) an election by the Issuer to dissolve JEH LLC. Upon dissolution, JEH LLC will be liquidated and the proceeds from any liquidation will be applied and distributed in the following manner: (a) first, to creditors (including to the extent permitted by law, creditors who are members) in satisfaction of the liabilities of JEH LLC, (b) second, to establish cash reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities and (c) third, to the members in proportion to the number of JEH LLC Units owned by each of them.
The JEH LLC Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.
Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement
In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights and Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) with each of the Intermediary LLCs and the Jones Family Entities. The Stockholders Agreement grants each of the Intermediate LLCs (collectively) and the Jones Family Entities
(collectively), the right to nominate two members of the Issuer’s board of directors so long as the Intermediate LLCs or the Jones Family Entities, as applicable, holds not less than 50% of the common stock that they hold immediately following the Offering and the right to nominate one member of the Issuer’s board of directors so long as they hold not less than 20% of the common stock that they hold immediately following the Offering. The Stockholders Agreement also requires the stockholders party thereto to take all necessary actions, including voting their shares of common stock, for the election of these nominees.
In addition, the Stockholders Agreement contains provisions with respect to demand registration rights and piggy-back registration rights as described in the prospectus, dated July 23, 2013 (File No. 333-188896) (the “Prospectus”), filed by the Company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). At any time after 180 days after the consummation of the Offering, each of the Intermediate LLCs (collectively) and the Jones Family Entities (collectively) will have the right to require the Issuer by written notice to register the sale of any number of their shares of common stock and will have the right to cause up to an aggregate of three such required or “demand” registrations. The Issuer is not obligated to effect any demand registration in which the anticipated aggregate offering price included in such offering is equal to or less than $50,000,000 ($25,000,000 where the registration is on a Form S-3). Furthermore, if, at any time, the Issuer proposes to register an offering of Class A Common Stock (subject to certain exceptions) for the Company’s own account, then it must give prompt notice to the Intermediate LLCs and the Jones Family Entities to allow them to include a specified number of their shares in that registration statement. These registration rights are subject to certain conditions and limitations, including the right of the underwriters to limit the number of shares to be included in a registration and the Issuer’s right to delay or withdraw a registration statement under certain circumstances. The Issuer will generally be obligated to pay all registration expenses in connection with the registration obligations, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective. The Stockholders Agreement also includes customary provisions dealing with indemnification, contribution and allocation of expenses.
The Stockholders Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 and incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 6.

Item 2(d) and 2(e) Disclosures
On August 7, 2008, Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (the “CGMI”) reached a settlement with the New York Attorney General, the SEC, and other state regulatory agencies, pursuant to which CGMI agreed to offer to purchase at par Auction Rate Securities (ARS) that are not auctioning from all Citigroup individual investors, small institutions (as defined by the terms of the settlement), and charities that purchased ARS from Citigroup prior to February 11, 2008. In addition, CGMI agreed to pay a $50 million fine to the State of New York and a $50 million fine to the other state regulatory agencies.
On July 29, 2010, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia against Citigroup, simultaneously with Citigroup’s consent to the entry of a final judgment regarding the claims asserted. In the complaint, the SEC alleged that between July 20 and November 4, 2007, Citigroup repeatedly made misleading statements about the extent of its exposure to subprime-related assets and securities. Specifically, the SEC alleged that Citigroup falsely represented that its Markets & Banking held $13 billion or less in subprime-related assets, when in fact Markets & Banking’s sub-prime exposure exceeded $50 billion. Without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, Citigroup consented to the entry of a final judgment that (i) permanently restrains and enjoins Citigroup from violations of Section 17(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and Exchange Act Rules 12b-20 and 13a-11, (ii) ordered Citigroup to pay a penalty and disgorgement totaling $75 million, and (iii) set forth undertakings that require Citigroup to either maintain certain disclosure-related policies and procedures for a period of three years, or retain an independent consultant to review, approve, and notify SEC staff of any material changes to those policies and procedures. Separately, the SEC also instituted settled cease-and-desist proceedings against Gary Crittenden, Citigroup’s former chief financial officer, and Arthur Tildesley, Jr., Citigroup’s former head of Investor Relations, for their roles in allegedly causing Citigroup to make certain of the misleading statements.
On October 19, 2011, the SEC filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York asserting claims in connection with CGMI’s structuring, marketing and sale of the $1 billion CDO-squared transaction known as Class V Funding III (“Class V”), simultaneously with CGMI’s consent to the entry of a final judgment regarding the claims asserted in the complaint. In the complaint, the SEC alleged that offering and marketing documents distributed in connection with Class V were misleading because they failed to disclose that (i) CGMI played a substantial role in selecting the assets for Class V, and (ii) CGMI allegedly assumed a $500 million short position in collateral that it selected for Class V. On the same day, the SEC filed a proposed consent judgment pursuant to which, without admitting or denying the SEC’s allegations, CGMI would consent to the entry of a final judgment that (i) permanently restrains and enjoins it from violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and (3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) orders it to pay a penalty and disgorgement of $285 million; and (iii) orders it to comply with certain undertakings in connection with the offering of residential mortgage-related securities. The district court refused to approve the proposed consent judgment. The parties appealed from this order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which, on March 15, 2012, granted a stay of the district court proceedings pending resolution of the appeals. The parties have fully briefed their appeals, and the Second Circuit held oral argument on February 8, 2013. Additional information concerning this matter is publicly available in court filings under the docket numbers 11 Civ. 7387 (S.D.N.Y.) (Rakoff, J.) and 11-5227 (2d Cir.).
Other than as described above, during the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the best of the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on Schedule A attached hereto, has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or was a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which such person was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
