Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On December 30, 2011, Duff & Phelps Corporation (the “Company”) issued an aggregate of 172,706 shares of Class A common stock to the sellers of PMIB, LLC (d/b/a Pagemill Partners) which was merged into a subsidiary of the Company. The shares issued were one component of the consideration paid to the sellers in connection with the closing of the merger. 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.

Copies of the press releases issued by the Company regarding the merger are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated in this report as if fully set forth herein.
