| (1) | Under the Exchange Agreement (see defined below), Mr. Younes exchanged 1,200,000 of his New Class A Units (see defined below) for 1,200,000 shares of Class A common stock on September 29, 2009 (the "Initial Exchange"). In connection with the consummation of the Initial Exchange, on September 29, 2009, Mr. Younes transferred 1,200,000 New Class A Units and 1,200,000 shares of Class B common stock to the Issuer in exchange for 1,200,000 shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock. |
| (2) | On September 29, 2009, the Issuer repurchased 1,200,000 shares of its Class A common stock from Mr. Younes. |
| (3) | In addition to the Initial Exchange, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Younes will be permitted to exchange additional New Class A Units at any time. Any Exchange (see defined below) will generally be a taxable event for Mr. Younes. As a result, at any time following the expiration of the underwriters' lock-up (180 days after September 23, 2009, subject to extension), Mr. Younes will be permitted to sell shares of Class A common stock in connection with any Exchange in an amount necessary to generate proceeds (after deducting discounts and commissions) sufficient to cover the taxes payable on such Exchange (the amount of shares permitted to be sold determined based upon the stock price on the date of Exchange, whether or not such shares are sold then or thereafter). |
| (4) | In addition, Mr. Younes will be permitted to sell up to 20% of the remaining shares of Class A common stock that he owns (calculated assuming all New Class A Units have been Exchanged by him) on or after the first anniversary of September 23, 2009, and an additional 20% of such remaining shares of Class A common stock on or after each of the next four anniversaries. |
| (5) | Held by the Rudolph-Riad Younes Family Trust, a grantor retained annuity trust for which Mr. Younes serves as settlor and trustee. |
| Remarks: The Issuer entered into an exchange agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Mr. Younes on September 29, 2009. Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Mr. Younes (and certain of his permitted transferees, including the Rudolph-Riad Younes Family Trust) are permitted to exchange their new class A units (the "New Class A Units") in Artio Global Holdings LLC for shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (each such exchange, an "Exchange"), subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends and reclassifications and other similar transactions. The New Class A Units represent membership interests in Artio Global Holdings LLC, a subsidiary of the Issuer. In connection with each Exchange, Mr. Younes must deliver to the Issuer, for cancellation, a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the number of New Class A Units being Exchanged. | |
