Explanatory Note

The purpose of this Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment No. 6”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 10, 2018, as amended on June 26, 2018, November 13, 2018, August 22, 2019, January 16, 2020 and August 25, 2020 (the “Schedule 13D”) is to reflect an increase in the percentage of the shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Shares”), of Greenhill & Co., Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. The increase in the percentage of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons since the Schedule 13D was last amended on August 25, 2020 is attributable to (i) Bok Family Partners, L.P.’s purchase on the open market of 50,000 Shares on November 5, 2020 and 21,917 Shares on November 10, 2021; (ii) Scott L. Bok’s purchase on the open market of 16,600 Shares on February 23, 2021, 16,495 Shares on February 24, 2021 and 21,917 Shares on November 9, 2021; and (iii) a decrease in the outstanding Shares. In addition, this Amendment No. 6 reflects that (i) on August 13, 2020, 120,047 Shares reverted back to Scott L. Bok’s direct beneficial ownership from that of the Scott L. Bok May 2019 Annuity Trust; (ii) on November 10, 2020, 267,958 Shares reverted back to Scott L. Bok’s direct beneficial ownership from that of the Scott L. Bok November 2018 Annuity Trust, which was removed as a Reporting Person on this Amendment No. 6; (iii) on November 12, 2020, Scott L. Bok transferred 388,005 Shares from his direct beneficial ownership to that of the Scott L. Bok November 2020 Annuity Trust, which is now listed as a Reporting Person on this Amendment No. 6; (iv) on March 19, 2021 19,867 Shares reverted back to Scott L. Bok’s direct beneficial ownership from that of the Scott L. Bok March 2020 Annuity Trust; (v) on May 7, 2021, 113,533 Shares reverted back to Scott L. Bok’s direct beneficial ownership from that of the Scott L. Bok May 2019 Annuity Trust, and were subsequently transferred to Bok Family Partners, L.P. as a gift; (vi) on November 12, 2021, Scott L. Bok transferred 74,948 Shares from his direct beneficial ownership to that of the Scott L. Bok November 2021 Annuity Trust, which is now listed as a Reporting Person on this Amendment No. 6; and (vii) on November 12, 2021, 63,477 Shares reverted back to Scott L. Bok’s direct beneficial ownership from that of the Scott L. Bok November 2020 Annuity Trust, which Scott L. Bok then transferred from his direct beneficial ownership to that of the Scott L. Bok November 2021 Annuity Trust (the “Intra-Group Transfers”). The Intra-Group Transfers resulted in no change in the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons. Except as set forth below, all Items of the Schedule 13D remain unchanged. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.
