       “OMAM Reports Financial and Operating Results for the First Quarter Ended March 31, 2015

           -   Economic net income of $37.3 million ($0.31 per share) for the quarter, up 14.8% from the
               comparative quarter in 2014
           -   U.S. GAAP earnings of $34.2 million ($0.28 per share) for the quarter
           -   AUM of $224.0 billion at March 31, 2015, up 10% from March 31, 2014
           -   Net client cash flows of $(0.2) billion yielding positive annualized revenue impact of $11.3
               million
           -   $0.08 per share quarterly interim dividend approved for the first quarter of 2015”

       “OMAM had a solid start to 2015, as our Affiliates continue to build on their long-term track records of
       strong investment performance, and we generated positive revenue growth from client cash flows into
       a range of higher margin, in-demand investment products,” said Peter L. Bain, President and Chief
       Executive Officer of OMAM. “During a quarter of mixed returns in the equity markets, we reported
       pretax economic net income of $51 million, an increase of 18% over the same period of 2014.

       “Our business continues to operate effectively, as we work alongside our Affiliates to diversify their
       product offerings and extend their distribution capabilities. We currently are assisting several Affiliates
       to develop new investment strategies in areas such as multi-asset class solutions, global timber, non-
       U.S. and emerging markets equities, and liability-driven investments. In addition, our Global
       Distribution team is building momentum in key markets around the world. Our team has established
       meaningful relationships with institutional investors on behalf of our Affiliates and saw strong demand
       during the quarter, particularly in Asia and Canada.”

       Mr. Bain concluded, “We are actively meeting and developing relationships with a wide range of high
       quality asset management boutiques whose executives are interested in partnering with a firm that
       enables them to retain equity ownership and economic incentives to grow their businesses, while
       providing the resources and support to diversify and enhance their firms for the long-term.”
