SCHEDULE B
On May 26, 2020, without admitting or denying any wrongdoing, Ares Management LLC consented to the entry of an administrative and cease-and-desist order (the “Order”) instituted by the SEC. According to the Order, in 2016, Ares Management LLC's written policies and procedures regarding the prevention of misuse of potentially material nonpublic information (“MNPI”) were not sufficiently implemented and enforced in certain circumstances when Ares Management LLC had an employee serving on the board of directors of a public company in which one of its clients was invested. The Order did not find any misuse of MNPI by Ares Management LLC or its employees; however, the Order included findings of violations of Section 204A and Section 206(4) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and Rule 206(4)-7 thereunder with respect to the implementation and enforcement of its written policies and procedures. The Order includes cease and desist provisions and a censure, and payment of a civil penalty in the amount of $1.0 million.
