Asset Purchase Agreement
DHCM entered into an asset purchase agreement dated February 2, 2021 (the “Agreement”) with Brandywine Global Investment Management, LLC (“Brandywine Global”), a specialist investment manager of Franklin Resources, Inc., pursuant to which Brandywine Global will acquire the businesses of Diamond Hill’s two high yield-focused mutual funds - the Corporate Credit Fund and the High Yield Fund (the “Acquired Funds”).

In connection with the transaction, two of the Company’s portfolio managers and a research analyst will join Brandywine Global’s fixed income team.

Pursuant to the Agreement, DHCM will receive an initial cash payment at closing of up to $9.0 million based upon the closing date net revenue of the Acquired Funds, and may receive two additional payments of up to $13.0 million in the aggregate based on the net revenue of the Acquired Funds on the one-year anniversary of the closing date. There can be no assurance that all or any of these additional payment amounts will be received by DHCM.

The Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants and is subject to customary closing conditions, including a minimum net revenue requirement as of the closing date and approval by the shareholders of the Acquired Funds. The sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to approval of each of the Acquired Fund’s shareholders.
