NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON JUNE 11, 2020

To the Holders of Shares of Common Stock of ARES MANAGEMENT CORPORATION:

Due to the public health impact of the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19) and to support the health and well-being of our stockholders, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders of Ares Management Corporation (the “Company”) has been changed. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 11, 2020 at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time. In light of public health concerns regarding the coronavirus outbreak, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically.

Participating in the 2020 Annual Meeting Online
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a stockholder “of record” (i.e., holding shares directly in your name) as of the close of business on April 13, 2020, the record date, or hold proper written authority from your broker, bank or other institution or nominee. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ARES2020, you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to authorize a proxy to vote your shares in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to authorize a proxy to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.

If you hold shares of the Company's common stock in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares, or obtain a proxy in your name from your broker, bank or other nominee.
