Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. 

On October 10, 2016, PJT Partners Holdings LP, as borrower (in such capacity, the “Borrower”), entered into a Renewal Agreement (the “Renewal Agreement”) and related documents with First Republic Bank, as lender (the “Lender”), amending the terms of the Borrower’s revolving credit facility with the Lender under the Loan Agreement dated October 1, 2015 (as amended, the “Loan Agreement”). The Renewal Agreement provides for a one-year extension of the maturity of the credit facility from October 2, 2017 to October 2, 2018.

The Loan Agreement continues to provide for a revolving credit facility with aggregate commitments in an amount equal to $60.0 million, which aggregate commitments may be increased, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement, to up to $80.0 million during certain times of the year. Indebtedness under the Loan Agreement is not guaranteed by PJT Partners Inc. or any subsidiaries of the Borrower, but continues to be secured by first priority liens on all accounts receivable, including placement and advisory fees, payable to the Borrower, Park Hill Group LLC and PJT Partners LP. Drawings under the credit facility will continue to bear interest at a per annum rate of prime minus 1%.

The descriptions of the Loan Agreement and the Renewal Agreement set forth herein are summary in nature and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those documents, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.
