Item 8.01 Other Events.

On June 15, 2012, Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (the “Company”) repurchased 400,000 Class A units from an unrelated third party broker-dealer in a privately negotiated transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $14,120,000 excluding commissions, which represents a per unit price of $35.30. The Company repurchased the Class A units using cash on hand. As of June 15, 2012, there are 30,179,510 Class A units outstanding after giving effect to the above repurchase.

As disclosed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company may from time to time repurchase its Class A units in open market or privately negotiated transactions. The Company is not obligated to make any future repurchases, and the level of future repurchases, if any, will depend upon a variety of factors, including the amount of available cash and the degree of discount of the market price of the Company’s Class A units from management’s estimate of the intrinsic value of the Company’s Class A units.
