Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On October 31, 2011, Duff & Phelps Corporation (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of 714,314 shares of Class A common stock to the sellers of substantially all of the assets of MCR which were purchased by a subsidiary of the Company. MCR is a UK-based corporate restructuring and turnaround firm focused on insolvency administration and independent business reviews. The shares issued were one component of the consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the acquisition. The issuance of these shares of Class A common stock was made without a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) because the shares of Class A common stock were offered and sold in a transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
A copy of the press release issued by the Company regarding the acquisition is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated in this report as if fully set forth herein.
