Pzena Investment Management, Inc. (NYSE: PZN) (“PZN”) today
announced that it has entered into an agreement to become a private
company through a transaction in which holders of PZN Class A
common stock will receive $9.60 per share in cash. Under the
terms of the definitive agreement, PZN will merge with and into a
newly formed subsidiary of its operating company, Pzena Investment
Management, LLC (“PIM”), in an all-cash transaction that implies an
enterprise value for PZN of approximately $795 million. The
$9.60 per share price represents a premium of 49% to PZN’s closing
stock price on July 26, 2022, and a premium of approximately 46%
over the 90-calendar day volume weighted average price. PZN
plans to maintain its regular quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share
for the third quarter of 2022, which the Board declared earlier
today.
The Board of Directors of PZN formed a special
committee consisting of the independent and disinterested directors
of PZN (the “Special Committee”) to evaluate and negotiate the
definitive agreement. Following a robust negotiation process,
the Special Committee concluded unanimously that the proposed
transaction is in the best interests of the holders of PZN’s Class
A common stock. Acting upon the Special Committee’s recommendation,
the Board of Directors of PZN approved the transaction.
Upon completion of the transaction, Pzena
Investment Management will be a privately-held company owned by the
existing partners of PIM. All of Pzena Investment Management’s
leadership and investment professionals are anticipated to remain
in place and will retain substantially all of their equity interest
in the business.
“We are excited to begin this new chapter for
our firm after 15 years as a public company,” said CEO Richard
Pzena. “I would like to thank the Special Committee for its
work in reaching this agreement. We believe the transaction
is in the best interest of Pzena’s Class A stockholders, and will
enhance our ability to achieve investment excellence on behalf of
our clients.”
The transaction is expected to close in the
fourth quarter of 2022, subject to approval by PZN stockholders,
including a special approval of holders of a majority of the Class
A shares not held by persons who will remain as investors in PIM
following the closing, receipt of applicable regulatory approvals,
and other customary closing conditions.
In connection with the proposed transaction, PZN
entered into a voting agreement with certain members of PZN’s
management team, as a result of which all outstanding shares of
Class B common stock will be voted in favor of the transaction.
Ardea Partners LP and CastleOak Securities, L.P.
are acting as financial advisor, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen &
Katz is acting as legal advisor, to the Special Committee.
J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is acting as
exclusive financial advisor, and Milbank LLP is acting as legal
advisor, to Pzena Investment Management, LLC.

Revenue was approximately $48.7 million for the
second quarter of 2022, a decrease of 7.7% from $52.8 million for
the first quarter of 2022 and a decrease of 4.3% from $50.9 million
for the second quarter of 2021.
There were $0.7 million of performance fees
recognized during the second quarter of 2022, compared to $0.5
million of performance fees recognized during the first quarter of
2022 and less than $0.1 million of performance fees recognized
during the second quarter of 2021.
Average assets under management for the second
quarter of 2022 were $49.5 billion, decreasing 6.8% from $53.1
billion for the first quarter of 2022, and decreasing 3.9% from
$51.5 billion for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease from the
first quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021 reflects
market depreciation and net outflows.
The weighted average fee rate was 0.393% for the
second quarter of 2022, decreasing from 0.397% for the first
quarter of 2022, and from 0.395% for the second quarter of
2021.
The weighted average fee rate for separately
managed accounts was 0.523% for the second quarter of 2022,
decreasing from 0.532% for the first quarter of 2022 and from
0.533% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease from the first
quarter of 2021 primarily reflects the calculation methodology for
certain of our separately managed accounts which are based on the
value of AUM at a specific date during the quarter. The decrease
from the second quarter of 2021 primarily reflects a shift in
assets to certain strategies that typically carry lower fee
rates.
The weighted average fee rate for sub-advised
accounts was 0.286% for the second quarter of 2022, increasing from
0.285% for the first quarter of 2022, and from 0.270% for the
second quarter of 2021. The increase from the first quarter of 2022
and the second quarter of 2021 reflects an increase in performance
fees recognized during the second quarter of 2022. Certain accounts
related to one retail client relationship have fulcrum fee
arrangements. These fee arrangements require a reduction in the
base fee or allow for a performance fee if the relevant investment
strategy underperforms or outperforms, respectively, the
agreed-upon benchmark over the contract's measurement period, which
extends to three years. During the second quarter of 2022 and
the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized $0.7 million and
$0.5 million of performance fees, respectively, related to this
client relationship. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company
recognized a $1.0 million reduction in base fees related to this
client relationship. To the extent the three-year performance
record of this account fluctuates relative to its relevant
benchmark, the amount of base fees recognized may vary.
The weighted average fee rate for Pzena funds
was 0.672% for the second quarter of 2022, decreasing from 0.695%
for the first quarter of 2022, and from 0.681% for the second
quarter of 2021. The decrease from the first quarter of 2022
primarily reflects an increase in assets to certain strategies that
typically carry lower fee rates. The decrease from the second
quarter of 2021 primarily reflects an increase in expense
reimbursements.
Total operating expenses were $24.1 million for
the second quarter of 2022, decreasing from $26.1 million for the
first quarter of 2022, and increasing from $23.0 million for the
second quarter of 2021. The decrease in compensation and benefits
expense from the first quarter of 2022 primarily reflects expenses
recognized in the first quarter associated with tax payments and
the Company's employee profit sharing and savings plan, which
generally do not recur during the year. The increase in general and
administrative expenses from the first quarter of 2022 primarily
reflects an increase in occupancy costs and travel and
entertainment expense. The decrease in compensation and benefits
expense from the second quarter of 2021 reflects a decrease in
compensation and the market performance of strategies tied to the
Company’s deferred compensation obligation. The increase in general
and administrative expenses from the second quarter of 2021
primarily reflects an increase in professional fees and occupancy
costs. The increase in occupancy costs for the second quarter of
2022 is due to the extension and expansion of the Company's New
York office lease.

As of June 30, 2022, employee headcount was
142, decreasing from 143 at March 31, 2022, and increasing from 125
at June 30, 2021.
The operating margin was 50.4% for the second
quarter of 2022, compared to 50.5% for the first quarter of 2022,
and 54.9% for the second quarter of 2021.
Other income/ (expense) was expense of approximately $7.6
million for the second quarter of 2022, income of $0.1 million for
the first quarter of 2022, and $1.7 million for the second quarter
of 2021.
Other income/ (expense) primarily reflects the
fluctuations in the gains/ (losses) and other investment income
recognized by the Company on its direct equity investments, the
majority of which are held to satisfy obligations under its
deferred compensation plan. Other income/ (expense) also
includes a portion of gains/ (losses) and other investment income
recognized by external investors on their investments in investment
partnerships that the Company consolidates, which are offset in net
income attributable to non-controlling interests.

1 Represents the non-controlling interest allocation of
the (income)/ loss of the Company's consolidated investment
partnerships to its external investors.
The Company recognized income tax expense of $2.5 million for
the second quarter of 2022, $8.2 million for the first quarter of
2022, and $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease
in income tax expense from the first quarter of 2021 reflects a
$5.9 million expense associated with a change in estimate of
uncertain tax positions due to a change in interpretation of
administrative rulings recognized during the first quarter of
2021.
Details of the income tax expense are shown below:
