Explanatory Note

 

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is filed as an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 2, 2018 (the “Original Form 8-K”) by PJT Partners Inc. (“PJT Partners” or the “Company”) in order to provide financial information required by Item 9.01 of the Original Form 8-K. As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, an affiliate of the Company, PJT Partners Holdings LP (“Purchaser”), acquired CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company, Purchaser, Blue Merger Sub LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser, CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC and CC CVP Partners Holdings, L.L.C., solely in its capacity as securityholder representative, dated as of August 27, 2018 (the “Acquisition”). The Acquisition was completed on October 1, 2018. The Original Form 8-K is amended by this Current Report on Form 8‑K/A to present certain financial statements of CamberView Partners, LLC and Subsidiaries (“Camberview”), of which CamberView Partners Holdings, LLC is the sole member, and to present certain unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in connection with the Acquisition. CamberView’s financial statements and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are filed as exhibits hereto. The foregoing description of the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated therein is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018 and is incorporated herein by reference. Items and exhibits previously reported in the Original Form 8-K that are not included in this Amendment remain unchanged.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

In addition to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Amendment, the Company has prepared, and has furnished as Exhibit 99.4 to this Amendment, certain non-GAAP financial information to present the unaudited pro forma adjusted results of the combined entity for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. A reconciliation of the non-GAAP pro forma financial information to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is also included in Exhibit 99.4.

 

The information in Item 7.01 of this Amendment and Exhibit 99.4 attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
