Preferred Units	PREFERRED UNITS 2016 Preferred Units Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement, dated September 29, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), certain of the Company’s executive managing directors, including Daniel S. Och (the “EMD Purchasers”), agreed to purchase up to a total of $400.0 million of 2016 Preferred Units, all of which remained issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2018. As of February 7, 2019, all of the 2016 Preferred Units were restructured into the 2019 Preferred Units and Debt Securities, as described in Note 3. 2019 Preferred Units Pursuant to the 2019 Preferred Unit Designations, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships issued 2019 Preferred Units with an aggregate liquidation preference of $200.0 million, in exchange for $200.0 million of the 2016 Preferred Units. Other than following the occurrence of a Discount Termination Event (as defined in the 2019 Preferred Unit Designations), the Sculptor Operating Partnerships have the option to redeem the 2019 Preferred Units at a 25% discount until March 31, 2021, and then at a 10% discount at any time between April 1, 2021 and March 30, 2022. Any mandatory payments as a result of the Cash Sweep will be entitled to the same discount. To the extent that the 2019 Preferred Units are not repaid in full prior to March 31, 2022, at the option of the holder thereof, all or any portion of the 2019 Preferred Units will be converted into Debt Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Liquidation Value (as defined below) of such 2019 Preferred Units, with such Debt Securities having the same terms as the existing $200.0 million of Debt Securities. Pursuant to the 2019 Preferred Unit Designations, distributions on the 2019 Preferred Units will be payable on the liquidation preference amount on a cumulative basis at an initial distribution rate of 0% per annum until February 19, 2020 (the “Step Up Date”), after which the distribution rate will increase to 6% per annum from the Step Up Date until the sixth anniversary of the Step Up Date, then continuing to increase in stages thereafter to a maximum of 10% per annum on and after the eighth anniversary of the Step Up Date. In addition, following the occurrence of a change of control event, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships will redeem the 2019 Preferred Units at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference plus all accumulated but unpaid distributions (collectively, the “Liquidation Value”). If the Sculptor Operating Partnerships fail to redeem all of the outstanding 2019 Preferred Units after such change of control event, the distribution rate will increase by 7% per annum, beginning on the 31st day following such event. Pursuant to the 2019 Preferred Unit Designations, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships will not be required to effect such redemption until the earlier of (i) the date that is 20 days following such change of control event and (ii) the payment in full of all loans and other obligations and the termination of all commitments under the 2018 Term Loan. From and after March 31, 2022, if the amounts distributed to partners of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships in respect of their equity interests in the Sculptor Operating Partnerships (other than amounts distributed in respect of tax distributions or certain other distributions) or used for repurchase of units by such entities (or which were available but not used for such purposes) for the immediately preceding fiscal year exceed $100.0 million in the aggregate, then an amount equal to 20% of such excess shall be used to redeem the 2019 Preferred Units on a pro rata basis at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Value. Furthermore, if the average closing price of the Company’s Class A Shares exceeds $150.00 per share for the previous 20 trading days from and after the Recapitalization Closing, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to redeem all of the outstanding 2019 Preferred Units as promptly as practicable. If such event occurs prior to the maturity date of the 2018 Term Loan and all obligations under the 2018 Term Loan have not been prepaid in accordance with the terms thereof, the Company has agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain consents from its lenders in order to redeem the 2019 Preferred Units as promptly as practicable.
