the ISI International Strategy&nbsp;&amp; Investment and the remainder of its legacy Institutional Equities business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The acquisition positions Evercore
as an elite and scaled provider of non-proprietary capital markets advice and execution, broadening Evercore&#146;s Investment Banking business and expanding its growth opportunities. The business, Evercore ISI, will initially provide macro
research, as well as fundamental research coverage of more than 600 companies across 12 industries, or approximately 60% of the combined market cap of the S&amp;P 500. Evercore ISI will serve more than 1,500 institutional investors globally,
including the largest asset managers and fund complexes in the world. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;We are excited to announce the closing of the ISI transaction, moving us one
step closer to our goal of creating the most elite independent investment banking advisory firm in the world,&#148; said Ralph Schlosstein, President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;While it is still early days, client feedback to date affirms
our expectation that Evercore ISI will have a positive effect on the growth rate of our overall Investment Banking business and that the Equities business will be an attractive business in its own right. Since the announcement of the acquisition in
August, ISI has achieved a #5 ranking for its research product from <I>Institutional Investor</I>, and the firm has had record revenues in September and October, reflecting the support for this transaction from institutional investors globally. We
are excited to welcome the entire ISI team to Evercore.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;This step creates a broader and more effective banking firm because it provides
Evercore with premier skills in all aspects of equities,&#148; said Roger Altman, Executive Chairman. &#147;I look forward eagerly to working with our new ISI colleagues.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;Our clients&#146; support for this transaction has been extremely positive,&#148; said&nbsp;Ed Hyman, Evercore ISI&#146;s Chairman. &#147;The
combination of talent from the ISI and Evercore Equities businesses has created a powerhouse in research and distribution and we look forward to continuing to serve our expanded client network with the highest quality independent research, analysis
and advice.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><U>About Evercore </U></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Evercore is
