Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
Estimated Assets Under Management and Management Fee-Generating Assets Under Management as of December 31, 2012
Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (the Company, we or us) is making this disclosure contemporaneous with our periodic update of information in our fund presentation materials
and on our website. The information presented below remains subject to potential adjustment until completion of the forthcoming fourth quarter 2012 financial report. As previously announced in our press release on January 16, 2013, we will
report fourth quarter and full year 2012 financial results prior to the opening of the New York Stock Exchange on Thursday, February 14, 2013.
The term assets under management, or AUM, generally refers to the assets we manage and equals the net asset value of our funds, plus the undrawn capital that we are entitled to call from
investors in those funds pursuant to their capital commitments and fund-level leverage that generates management fees. The term management fee-generating assets under management reflects AUM on which we earn management fees for the
following quarter. It excludes (i) certain AUM , such as differences between AUM and committed capital or cost basis for most closed-end funds, (ii) the investments we make in our funds as general partners, (iii) undrawn capital
commitments to funds for which management fees are based on net asset value or drawn capital, (iv) contributed capital and capital commitments to closed-end funds that have not yet commenced their investment periods, (v) closed-end funds
that are beyond the term during which they pay management fees, and (vi) AUM in restructured and liquidating evergreen funds for which management fees were waived.
As of December 31, 2012, the estimated AUM was $77.1 billion, a decrease of $3.9 billion from $81.0 billion as of September 30, 2012. The estimated management fee-generating AUM was $66.8 billion as of
December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.6 billion from $66.2 billion as of September 30, 2012.
