Items 2(a) and 2(c) of the 13D Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(c) The Reporting Persons are either holding companies without operations, or are principally engaged in the business of investment management or making, purchasing, selling and holding investments. Ares Partners is the sole member of each of Ares Voting and Ares Management GP, which are respectively the holders of the Class B and Class C common stock of Ares Management, which common stock allows them, collectively, to generally have the majority of the votes on any matter submitted to the stockholders of Ares Management if certain conditions are met.

Ressler and Bennett Rosenthal (collectively, the “Board Members”). Mr. Ressler generally has veto authority over Board Members’ decisions. Each of these individuals disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Ares Partners.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Items 5(a) and 5(c) of the 13D Filing are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a) Aggregate Number and Percentage of Securities. As of the date that this Amendment No. 8 is filed, (i) ASSF IV AIV B Holdings is the holder of record of 16,774,031 shares of Common Stock, (ii) ASSF IV AIV B is the holder of record of 1,892,866 shares of Common Stock, (iii) ASOF I is the holder of record of 19,332,427 shares of Common Stock, (iv) ASOF II Holdings I directly holds 3,756,983 shares of Common Stock, (v) ASOF II A (DE) Holdings I directly holds 677,080 shares of Common Stock and (vi) ACOF VI is the holder of record of 11,772,239 shares of Common Stock.

See also Items 11 and 13 of the cover pages to, and Item 2 of, this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of Common Stock and the percentage of Common Stock beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons.
