Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported by GCM Grosvenor Inc. (together with its consolidated
subsidiaries, the "Company"), in a transaction effective January 1, 2020,
Grosvenor Capital Management Holdings, LLLP, a subsidiary of the Company
("GCMH") and its affiliates transferred certain indirect partnership interests
related to historical investment funds managed by GCMH and its affiliates to
Mosaic Acquisitions 2020, L.P. ("Mosaic") in a transaction referred to as the
"Mosaic Transaction." The limited partner of Mosaic is a third-party investor
affiliated with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (the "third-party
investor"). Mosaic holds limited partnership interests representing financial
assets of the Company including a right to certain carried interest generated by
funds raised prior to December 31, 2019 and certain funded general partner
interests and to-be-funded general partner interests.
On July 2, 2021, GCMH exercised its option to purchase the interest in Mosaic
held by the third-party investor for a net purchase price of approximately $163
million, adjusted for true-up distributions and expenses through the closing
date, and inclusive of a $13 million negotiated discount. GCMH's purchase will
result in the interest held by the third-party investor no longer being
accounted for as a redeemable noncontrolling interest of the Company.
