ITEM 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On May 15, 2017, OM Asset Management plc (the "Company") entered into an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with OM Group (UK) Limited ("OMGUK"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc ("OM plc") and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as the underwriter (the "Underwriter"), relating to the issuance and sale, by OMGUK, of 17.3 million ordinary shares of the Company at an offering price to the public of $14.55 per share (the "Public Offering"). In addition, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, and subject to its terms and conditions, the Underwriter was granted a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2.595 million ordinary shares of the Company from OMGUK at the Public Offering price, less the underwriting discount, which expires on June 14, 2017. A copy of the Underwriting Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
On May 19, 2017, the closing of the issuance and sale of the ordinary shares of the Company in the Public Offering and the previously announced private repurchase of 5 million ordinary shares by the Company from OM plc (the "Repurchase Transaction") were each completed.
The ordinary shares have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-207781) which became effective December 3, 2015. A prospectus supplement relating to the Public Offering has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius UK LLP, counsel to the Company, has issued an opinion to the Company, dated May 19, 2017, regarding the ordinary shares. A copy of the opinion is filed as Exhibit 5.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
