BrightSphere Completes Redomestication to the United States

BrightSphere Investment Group plc BSIG today announced the completion of the redomestication process to change its publicly traded parent company from a United Kingdom company to a Delaware corporation. The redomestication was approved overwhelmingly by BrightSphere stockholders at a Special Meeting held on July 2, 2019, and sanctioned by the High Court of Justice of England and Wales on July 11, 2019. Effective as of the close of business on July 12, 2019, all issued ordinary shares of BrightSphere have been exchanged on a one-for-one basis for newly issued shares of common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. The common stock of BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. will begin trading today, July 15, 2019, and the Company's trading symbol on the NYSE will remain unchanged as "BSIG."

"BrightSphere's redomestication is another important step in the streamlining and simplification of our business," said Guang Yang, BrightSphere's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Looking ahead, we have repositioned BrightSphere to be more nimble and opportunistic, and are confident about our growth prospects on a number of fronts, including expanded distribution in growing markets such as China, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as new product capabilities in sought-after asset classes, including through seed investment and acquisitions."

BrightSphere's Boston office will become the Company's sole headquarters as a U.S. corporation. The Company does not anticipate any material impact to employees or day-to-day business operations as a result of the redomestication.
