Holders of common units of partnership interest in PJT Partners Holdings LP (“Partnership Units”) (other than PJT Partners Inc.) have the right, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of PJT Partners Holdings LP (the “Partnership Agreement”), on a quarterly basis (subject to the terms of the exchange agreement, as amended), to exchange all or part of their Partnership Units for PJT Partners Inc. Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to applicable vesting and transfer restrictions. If all Partnership Units were exchanged for PJT Partners Inc. Class A common stock, weighted-average PJT Partners Inc. Class A common stock outstanding would be 40,771,955 for the three months ended March 31, 2026, excluding unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). In computing the dilutive effect, if any, which the aforementioned exchange would have on net income per share, net income attributable to holders of PJT Partners Inc. Class A common stock would be adjusted due to the elimination of the non-controlling interests associated with the Partnership Units (including any tax impact). For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, there were no anti-dilutive securities.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 28, 2026, the Company announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) has authorized a $800 million Class A common stock repurchase program, which replaced the then-existing $500 million repurchase program announced on February 6, 2024. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $21.2 million remaining under the then-existing authorization. Under the new repurchase program, which has no expiration date, shares of the Company’s Class A common stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased depend on a variety of factors, including economic and market conditions, price, and legal requirements. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 0.4 million shares of the Company’s Class A common stock at a volume-weighted average price per share of $147.44, or $61.3 million in aggregate, excluding excise tax on net share repurchases, pursuant to the share repurchase program.
