On September 3, 2020, BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (the “Company”), Royal Bank of Canada, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Bank of China, New York Branch, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Barclays Bank PLC, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America N.A., the Bank of New York Mellon and Citibank, N.A., as an issuing bank and administrative agent (collectively, the “Lenders”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment") to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 20, 2019 (the “Credit Agreement”).

The Amendment includes changes to the Credit Agreement to permit the sale of the Company's equity interests in Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC (the “Barrow Hanley Sale”). Under the Credit Agreement, the Barrow Hanley Sale required consent of the Lenders given that Barrow, Hanley, Mewhinney & Strauss, LLC accounted for more than 10% of the Company's consolidated adjusted EBITDA. Among other changes, the Amendment also provides that, effective immediately upon the consummation of the Barrow Hanley Sale, the Lenders commitments under the Credit Agreement shall be $150.0 million. The Company expects any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, as amended, to be less than $150.0 million upon consummation of the Barrow Hanley Sale.

A copy of the Amendment has been filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment.
