Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents a series of LTIP Units ("Performance LTIPs") of PJT Partners Holdings LP ("PJT Holdings"). These Performance LTIPs are subject to both time and performance vesting conditions. Performance LTIPs satisfy the time-vesting condition with 20% vesting on each of March 1, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027. The performance vesting condition will be satisfied upon the shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer achieving certain dividend adjusted volume-weighted average share price ("VWAP") targets over any consecutive 20-day trading period ending on or prior to February 28, 2027, as follows: (a) 50% will be earned upon achieving a 20-day VWAP of $100 per share; and (b) if the 20-day VWAP is between $100 and $130, then the remaining 50% of Performance LTIPs will become earned as shall be determined by linear interpolation between 50% and 100%.

2. Upon the occurrence of specified events, the Performance LTIPs reported herein can automatically be converted into Partnership Units of PJT Holdings on a one-for-one basis.

3. Subject to the terms of an exchange agreement, on a quarterly basis, the Partnership Units of PJT Holdings may be exchanged for cash or, at the election of the Issuer, shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis.
