Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
The information required by this Item 1.01 is included
in Item 2.03 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation
under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On June 30, 2021, Ares Finance Co. III LLC
(the “Issuer”), an indirect subsidiary of Ares Management Corporation (the “Company”) and Ares Holdings
L.P., Ares Investments Holdings LLC, Ares Management LLC, Ares Finance Co. LLC and Ares Finance Co. II LLC, each indirect subsidiaries
of the Company (collectively the “Guarantors”), entered into an indenture (the “Indenture”) with
U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the issuance by the Issuer of $450,000,000
aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% Fixed-Rate Resettable Subordinated Notes due 2051 (the “Notes”). Capitalized
terms used herein without definition have the meanings set forth in the Indenture.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per
annum accruing from June 30, 2021 to, but excluding June 30, 2026 (the “First Call Date”). Interest is payable
semi-annually in arrears on June 30 and December 30 of each year, commencing on December 30, 2021. On and after the First
Call Date, the interest rate on the Notes for each Reset Period will be equal to the Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent
Reset Interest Determination Date plus a spread of 3.237%. The Issuer has the right on one or more occasions to defer the payment of interest
on the Notes for up to five consecutive years. During an optional deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the Notes, and
deferred interest payments will accrue additional interest at the then applicable interest rate on the Notes, compounded semi-annually
as of each interest payment date to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Notes will mature
on June 30, 2051 unless earlier redeemed or repurchased. The Notes are unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Issuer. The
Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by each of the Guarantors. The
Guarantees are unsecured and subordinated obligations of the Guarantors.
On the First Call Date and any subsequent interest
payment date, the Notes may be redeemed at the Issuer’s option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a Tax Redemption
Event occurs, the Notes may be redeemed at the Issuer’s option, in whole but not in part, within 120 days of the occurrence of a
Tax Redemption Event, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid
interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a Rating Agency Event occurs, the Notes may be redeemed at the Issuer’s option,
in whole but not in part, within 120 days of the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal
amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. If a Change of Control Event
occurs, the Notes may be redeemed at the Issuer’s option, in whole but not in part, within 60 days of the occurrence of such Change
of Control Event, at a redemption price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest
to, but excluding, the redemption date.
The Indenture includes covenants, including limitations
on the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ ability to, subject to exceptions, incur indebtedness secured by liens on voting stock
or profit participating equity interests of their subsidiaries or merge, consolidate or sell, transfer or lease assets. The Indenture
also provides for customary events of default and further provides that the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Notes may declare the Notes immediately due and payable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
event of default after expiration of any applicable grace period. In the case of specified events of bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership
or reorganization, the principal amount of the Notes and any accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes automatically will become due and
payable.
The preceding is a summary of the terms of the
Indenture and the Notes and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Indenture attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 and the form
of the Notes attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, each of which is incorporated herein by reference as though they were fully set forth
herein.
