Focus Financial Partners Inc. (FOCS) Launches Secondary Offering of 7.4M Shares

Focus Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ: FOCS) ("Focus") announced today that it has launched an underwritten secondary offering of 7,419,939 shares of its Class A common stock. This amount consists of 7,144,244 shares being offered by certain selling stockholders of Focus affiliated with Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. ("KKR") and 275,695 shares being offered by Focus (the "Offering") on behalf of certain of the existing unitholders of Focus Financial Partners, LLC ("Focus LLC"), its operating subsidiary. If this offering is consummated on these terms, KKR will no longer own interests in Focus or Focus LLC.

Focus will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock offered by KKR. Focus intends to contribute the net proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A common stock that it is offering to Focus LLC in exchange for newly issued common units in Focus LLC. Focus LLC will use such contributed amount to purchase units in Focus LLC from certain unitholders, including certain of Focus' employees and principals of its partner firms, but not including Focus' executive officers and directors, and in connection with such purchase, Focus will cancel the corresponding shares of its Class B common stock, as applicable.

All net proceeds from this offering will be paid to KKR and to existing Focus LLC unitholders in exchange for Focus LLC units. This offering will not have a dilutive impact on existing shareholders.
