The total consideration for the transaction will be paid in cash at closing, funded up to 50% in equity.
AMG expects the deal to boost its assets under management by $55bn to about $700bn, and increase its economic earnings per share by $0.50 to $0.80 in 2017.
Post deal completion, senior management of all firms will continue to hold unchanged majority of the equity and operating autonomy in their respective businesses.
AMG’s investment in interests representing about half of the total deal amount is slated to be completed in the third quarter of 2016, while the balance of the investment is expected to be wrapped up by year-end 2016.
