CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this prospectus supplement or in our other documents that are incorporated by reference herein, that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, estimated operational metrics, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among other things, statements regarding the expected growth, future capital expenditures, fund performance, dividends and dividend policy and debt service obligations.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Angelo Gordon; purchase price adjustments; unexpected costs related to the integration of the Angelo Gordon business and operations; our ability to manage growth and execute our business plan; and regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report.
For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are incorporated by reference herein. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus supplement speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Overview
We are a leading global alternative asset manager with $222 billion in assets under management (“AUM”) as of December 31, 2023. We have built our firm through more than 30 years of successful innovation and growth, and believe that we have delivered attractive risk-adjusted returns to our clients. We believe that we have established a premier investment business focused on the fastest-growing segments of both the alternative asset management industry and the global economy. We believe that we have a distinctive business approach and a diversified, innovative array of investment platforms that position us well to continue generating highly profitable, sustainable growth.
We have constructed a high-quality base of assets under management with strong historical growth. From December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2023, our assets under management have grown 270% from $60 billion to $222 billion. The following table presents AUM over the last eight years:
Our ability to organically incubate, launch and scale new platforms and products, combined with our principled focus on strategic, inorganic opportunities has led to consistent historical growth in our assets under management, all on a scaled infrastructure that gives our business a high degree of operating leverage. Our differentiated operating model unites our investment products and global footprint around a cohesive commercial framework. As of December 31, 2023, we employed approximately 1,850 people, including more than 650 investment and operations professionals, in offices across 16 countries, providing us with a substantial global footprint and network. Our compensation structure and team-oriented culture inspires collaboration, supports our
S-1
Table of Contents
shared investment themes approach to sourcing and executing deals, and leads to attractive returns for our investors. Through multiple decades of experience, we have developed an ecosystem of insight, engagement and collaboration across our platforms and products, which currently include more than 300 active portfolio companies, over 300 real estate properties and over 5,000 credit positions across more than 30 countries. Recently, we have also pursued highly strategic inorganic growth, notably our acquisition on November 1, 2023 of Angelo Gordon, an alternative investment firm focused on credit and real estate investing.
Today, our firm consists of six multi-strategy investment platforms: (1) Capital, (2) Growth, (3) Impact, (4) TPG Angelo Gordon, (5) Real Estate and (6) Market Solutions.
Note: AUM as of December 31, 2023.
Our Distinctive Business Approach
We believe that we are distinctive in the way in which we organize our business and make investment decisions. Our business is set apart by our collaborative investment approach, our substantial centralized resources, our partnership engagement model and our entrepreneurial culture.
Deep Industry Focus with Shared Investment Themes
Our platform-based investment and operations professionals are organized into industry sector teams, which share investment themes across platforms to drive firm-wide knowledge. Our professionals pursue compelling thematic investment opportunities, unencumbered by specific capital requirements or transaction structures, as evidenced by our partners’ frequent collaboration across platforms and products. Our teams identify outstanding investment opportunities regardless of the platform in which they may ultimately fit, resulting in a broad and efficient firm-wide, sector-enabled sourcing funnel. As a result of this approach, as of December 31, 2023, approximately 60% of TPG’s partners have led investments across more than one platform.
S-2
Table of Contents
Value-Added Operating Approach
TPG was one of the first private equity firms to establish an in-house operations group (“TPG Ops”) in 1995. We believe that our operations team continues to be a core differentiator in our ability to drive strong growth in our portfolio companies and the resulting strong performance in our funds. As of December 31, 2023, TPG Ops consists of 54 operations professionals who have substantial specialized sector knowledge and functional experience. Unlike many of our peers, who outsource operational work to consulting firms, the vast majority of our value-added operating activities are executed by TPG Ops members, most of whom are full-time employees of our firm. TPG Ops professionals are fully integrated into our deal teams and incentivized in portfolio company performance, with an opportunity to share in the same investment-specific performance fees as our investment professionals.
Rich Global, Collaborative Ecosystem with a Robust Base of Centralized Resources
We were early movers in establishing dedicated functional teams to support our global investing efforts. We have deployed our client and capital formation, capital markets, human resources, communications, firm infrastructure and services, legal, compliance and environmental, social and corporate governance (“ESG”) teams across our firm to drive value in each of our platforms, from fundraising to portfolio company realizations. For example, our client and capital formation team has raised nearly $81 billion in commitments since 2019, and our Capital Markets team has driven realizations and managed capital structures across a portfolio that has priced more than 65 initial public offerings and raised nearly $250 billion in debt from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2023, demonstrating the tangible strength of our shared resources.
Deep, Committed Relationships with a Diversified and Growing Client Base
We are backed by the most sophisticated global asset allocators, including approximately 1,100 institutional clients, with whom we have direct relationships. Our client base is highly diversified, with committed capital sourced from pensions, sovereign wealth funds, funds of funds, private wealth channels, insurance companies and endowments, among others. We have cultivated deep, longstanding relationships, as evidenced by the more than 18-year weighted average tenure of our largest 100 clients since their first commitment to one of our funds. Of our clients who have commitments in active TPG funds raised over the last 10 years (excluding public market investing vehicles), approximately 70% are invested in active funds across three or more of our products and approximately 75% are invested in active funds across two or more of our platforms.
We also believe we have significant runway to expand our client base with our acquisition of Angelo Gordon, where we have less than 10% overlap between our respective clients. Notably, TPG and TPG Angelo Gordon have only 19% overlap amongst our Sovereign Wealth Fund clients and 23% overlap amongst our Pension Fund clients, representing an important cross sell opportunity across investment platforms. Our committed capital is long-term in nature. As of December 31, 2023, 64% of our AUM is in funds with 10+ year lifespans at inception, 21% of our AUM from funds with 5 to 9 years of lifespan at inception, and 5% in perpetual funds.
Innovative Product Development and Growth Model
Our focus on key growth sectors and our successful track record have given our teams the differentiated level of expertise and credibility required to identify opportunities for new product development, and our entrepreneurial culture has encouraged our teams to execute on the opportunities that they identify. Since 2018, we have raised more than $30 billion for over 10 new products. Notable examples of innovative new product launches in recent years include:
• | 2019: TPG Healthcare Partners or “THP” ($3 billion): Dedicated fund investing in all areas of healthcare, primarily in partnership with other TPG funds |

Experienced Team and Commitment to Good Governance
We believe that our people and differentiated culture are fundamental drivers of our success. Since our firm’s inception, we have focused on recruiting, developing and retaining exceptional talent. As of December 31, 2023, we have approximately 1,850 full-time employees, including over 650 investment and operations professionals, over 970 non-investment and fundraising professionals, and more than 200 support staff, located in offices across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and North America. We have a global footprint made up of individuals from diverse backgrounds across investing, operations, management and leadership roles, and we believe that our unique culture puts our team members and our firm in the position to succeed.
Consistent with our institutional commitment to good governance, we have established a clear and definite path for both founder succession and long-term governance of our company by an independent board of directors. This plan will ensure both an increasing role in the governance and long-term strategic development of our company by our next generation of leaders, who are generally internally developed, and an orderly transition to permanent governance by a board elected by our company’s stockholders. For additional information, see “Corporate Governance—Corporate Governance Overview” in our Proxy Statement.
Platforms
We have developed our six investment platforms, (1) Capital, (2) Growth, (3) Impact, (4) TPG Angelo Gordon, (5) Real Estate and (6) Market Solutions, over time as we have identified areas where our track record and thematic depth provide unique opportunities to create differentiated solutions to address market needs.
Each of our six investment platforms is comprised of a number of products that are complementary to each other and provide our clients with differentiated avenues for capital deployment. Most of our products have raised multiple generations of funds, which we believe highlights the value our clients see in these products.

Growth Strategy
We intend to continue to drive value for our stockholders by pursuing a multi-dimensional growth strategy predicated on excellent investing which generates attractive returns for our clients. We expect to expand our existing platforms through (i) driving continued organic growth and scaling of our products and strategies among our current clients and our growing base of new clients around the world; (ii) developing new products and strategies for our clients within our current platforms; and (iii) expanding the channels through which our products and strategies are distributed, such as private wealth and insurance. In addition, we will continue to identify what we believe are attractive opportunities to launch new platforms and investment solutions in asset classes that are natural extensions of, or adjacent to, our existing platforms, products and strategies. We also intend to continue to selectively pursue inorganic growth opportunities that we believe can enhance growth and drive profitability. From our current scale, our investment in our shared resources, and the multiple growth vectors embedded in our diversified platforms, we believe that we will continue to grow our assets under management and drive further operating leverage across the firm.
Deploy Currently Committed Capital and Accelerate Embedded Operating Leverage
We have significant embedded growth in our platforms due to our $51 billion of capital that is committed but not deployed, which accounts for 38% of our fee earning assets under management, and our $24 billion of assets under management that is subject to fee earnings growth as of December 31, 2023. As our platforms grow, our firm benefits from economies of scale as we realize operating leverage from a growing revenue profile that exceeds expense growth.
Generate Attractive Returns in Our Funds
Delivering consistent, attractive returns is core to our strategy and has been fundamental to our ability to scale our business over time. Since inception, our strong historical performance across investment products has generated significant value for our clients, which has resulted in our ability to consistently raise capital for both existing and new investment products. We believe that our deep sector expertise and the ecosystems in which we invest, the careful yet innovative investment in assets that we pursue with a partnership mindset, will continue to drive strong performance in our funds. We believe we can leverage the strong investment performance of the funds we manage to drive continued organic growth and scaling of our products and strategies among our current clients and our growing base of new clients around the world.
Grow and Extend Existing Platforms
We have built a scaled, global and diversified investing franchise by consistently growing our existing platforms. The current generation of TPG Capital and THP funds in our Capital platform in aggregate is approximately 10% larger than their predecessor funds. We are well-positioned to continue to deliver superior investment performance across our funds and strengthen and expand our relationships with clients for our existing product platforms.
Our acquisition of Angelo Gordon provides us with additional avenues of growth for our existing platforms. With less than 10% overlap between our respective clients, we believe that there are significant opportunities to expand our existing platforms through the offering of complementary products.

Table of Contents
Develop New Products
In addition to the vertical expansion of our existing products, we have organically incubated new strategies and platforms to expand into new product categories. For example, from our Capital platform we have launched new platforms and funds, including our Real Estate platform and TPG Healthcare Partners.
We believe that there continue to be a number of highly attractive product expansion opportunities, especially with TPG Angelo Gordon fully integrated, including sector-specific products, products in complementary asset classes or geographies, and products designed for specific distribution channels.
Expand our Distribution Channels
We believe that we have substantial opportunity to expand our capital base through highly complementary client relationships and channels. We are well-equipped to continue to target high growth distribution channels including retail and insurance, and possess dedicated specialized coverage in private wealth, insurance, consultants and family offices. We remain focused on delivering additional products that provide private wealth investors access to our strategies.
We believe we are well-positioned to benefit from significant secular growth trends in these channels. Our diversified investment capabilities and flexible investment structures are well-suited to capture future flows from these channels.
Deepen and Drive More Strategic Partnerships with our Clients Globally
We believe that we have built deep, strategic relationships with our clients, who have an average tenure with TPG of over 18 years. These partnerships are predicated on multi-faceted connectivity with our clients, in which TPG drives thought leadership, differentiated investment insights and customized solutions to meet our clients’ objectives. We believe that clients value this connectivity due to our innovative investment approach, continued diversification of our product offering and longstanding global reach. These partnerships enable our growth into new products and platforms, and we intend to continue to build deeper and incremental strategic partnerships with our clients as we continue to grow.
Selectively Pursue Strategic Partnerships and M&A
We believe we are well-positioned to continue to pursue select accretive inorganic growth opportunities which are complementary to our existing platform. Importantly, since the acquisition and integration of TPG Angelo Gordon, we have greater access to other areas of the alternative asset management industry.
Recruit, Retain and Develop World-Class Talent
Attracting, retaining and developing world-class talent is fundamental to our business and is a strategic priority for our leadership team. We utilize a highly disciplined recruiting strategy that is focused on identifying and attracting talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. As a result, 71% and 69% of global new hires that we recruited during each of the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, are racially or ethnically diverse, are gender diverse or identify as LGBTQ+. Our ability to retain our professionals and cultivate their success within our firm is evidenced by the more than 41% of our investment partners who joined the firm as junior professionals.

Table of Contents
Class A common stock offered by the selling stockholders |
15,526,915 shares of Class A common stock. |
Class A common stock to be outstanding after this offering: |
92,467,384 shares of Class A common stock. |
Nonvoting Class A common stock to be outstanding after this offering: |
8,258,901 shares of nonvoting Class A common stock. |
Class B common stock to be outstanding after this offering: |

Voting Rights |
Our Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as one class on all matters (including the election of directors) submitted to a vote of stockholders, except as set forth in our restated certificate of incorporation (our “certificate of incorporation”) or required by applicable law. However, prior to the Sunset, shares of Class B common stock generally entitle their holder to ten votes per share, subject to adjustment in the event that the voting power of the Class A Free Float does not equal at least 5.1% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock voting together as of any record date for a vote of stockholders, and shares of Class A common stock generally entitle their holder to one vote per share. Consequently, the holders of our Class B common stock will generally control matters brought to stockholders for a vote, including the election of directors, prior to the Sunset. After the Sunset, shares of Class B common stock will generally entitle their holders to one vote per share. |
Holders of shares of nonvoting Class A common stock have no voting rights in respect of such shares other than those voting rights required by law. |
For more information see “Description of Capital Stock—Common Stock.” |
Use of proceeds |
The selling stockholders will receive all of the proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock in this offering. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of Class A common stock by the selling stockholders. See “Use of Proceeds.” |
Dividend Policy |
Holders of shares of our Class A common stock and our nonvoting Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our Executive Committee or our board of directors, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock. See “Dividend Policy” in our Annual Report incorporated by reference herein. |

Risk Factors |
You should carefully consider the information set forth herein under “Risk Factors” and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, including the “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report, before deciding whether to purchase shares of Class A common stock. |
Listing: |
Our Class A common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “TPG.” |
We expect that delivery of the shares will be made against payment therefor on or about the closing date specified on the cover page of this prospectus supplement, which will be the third business day following the date of this prospectus supplement (this settlement cycle being referred to as “T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1 of the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade such shares more than two business days prior to the scheduled settlement date, by virtue of the fact that the shares initially settle in T+3, will be required to specify an alternate settlement arrangement at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of such shares who wish to trade shares prior to such date should consult their advisors.
The number of shares of common stock to be outstanding after this offering is based on 92,467,384 shares of Class A common stock (including 17,704,987 shares of Class A common stock to be issued in connection with the Exchange), and except as otherwise indicated, the number of shares of our Class A common stock outstanding after this offering:
• | excludes 31,884,634 shares of our Class A common stock issuable under the TPG Inc. Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”); |
• | excludes 8,258,901 shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the conversion of shares of nonvoting Class A common stock following transfer to a third party as and when permitted by the Investor Rights Agreement; and |
• | excludes 263,952,639 shares of Class A common stock reserved for issuance upon exchange of Common Units (and cancellation of a corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock) that will be outstanding immediately after this offering. |

The summary historical consolidated financial and other data for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 have been derived from TPG’s audited consolidated financial statements as of such dates and for such years and should be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations of TPG and TPG’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report, which is incorporated by reference herein.
The summary pro forma condensed combined financial data for the year ended December 31, 2023 has been derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information incorporated by reference herein and reflects our historical consolidated statement of operations data, as adjusted to give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2023. The summary pro forma condensed combined financial information is being furnished solely for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the combined financial position or results of operations that might have been achieved for the periods or dates indicated, nor is it necessarily indicative of the future results of the combined company. It does not reflect potential revenue synergies or cost savings expected to be realized from the Acquisition. No assurance can be given that cost savings or synergies will be realized at all. The adjustments contained in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data are based on currently available information and assumptions that TPG believes are reasonable in order to reflect, on a pro forma basis, the effect of the Acquisition, the financing of the Acquisition and the change in compensation arrangements for Angelo Gordon subsequent to the closing of the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not project TPG’s results of operations or financial position for any future period or date.

Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks. You should carefully review the risk factors and other cautionary statements described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, or any similar caption in the documents that we subsequently file with the SEC that are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and in any free writing prospectus that we provide you in connection with the offering of Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement. The risks and uncertainties discussed in the documents referred to above, as well as other matters discussed in this prospectus supplement and in those documents, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and the market price of the Class A common stock. Moreover, the risks and uncertainties discussed in the foregoing documents are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face, and our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and the market price of the Class A common stock could be materially adversely affected by other matters that are not known to us or that we currently do not consider to be material risks to our business.

Table of Contents
The following tables show information as of February 26, 2024 regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock and total economic interest in the TPG Operating Group by:
• | the selling stockholders; |
• | each member of our board of directors and each of our named executive officers; and |
• | all members of our board of directors and our executive officers as a group. |
Information is provided with respect to total voting percentages as of immediately before and immediately after this offering. See “Prospectus Summary—The Offering.”
Pursuant to our Exchange Agreement, each holder of Common Units is entitled to exchange their Common Units for cash from a substantially concurrent public offering or private sale (based on the closing price per share of the Class A common stock on the day before the pricing of such public offering or private sale (taking into account customary brokerage commissions or underwriting discounts actually incurred)) or, at our option, Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (or, in certain cases, for shares of nonvoting Class A common stock). On February 27, 2024, pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, we will issue 17,704,987 shares of our Class A common stock to holders of Common Units, including to certain of the selling stockholders who will sell such shares in this offering, in exchange for their Common Units and cancel 17,704,987 shares of Class B common stock for no additional consideration. The table below gives effect to the Exchange, but otherwise assumes no exchange of Common Units or nonvoting Class A common stock for Class A common stock following this offering. The number of shares of Class B common stock listed in the table below is equal to the number of Common Units beneficially owned by each person or entity named in the table below.

(1) | GP LLC is the managing member of each of (i) TPG Group Holdings (SBS) Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of TPG Group Holdings (SBS), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“TPG Group Holdings”), and (ii) Alabama Investments (Parallel) GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which is the general partner of each of (a) Alabama Investments (Parallel), LP, a Delaware limited partnership, (b) Alabama Investments (Parallel) Founder A, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, and (c) Alabama Investments (Parallel) Founder G, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “AG Partnerships”). TPG Group Holdings, collectively with the AG Partnerships, hold the Common Units and shares of Class B common stock reflected in this table. TPG Partner Units (which are held by our current and former TPG partners) are exchangeable under certain circumstances for Common Units and shares of Class B common stock held by TPG Group Holdings. Current and former TPG partners who exchange TPG Partner Units for such Common Units in turn have the right, pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, to have their Common Units redeemed by the TPG Operating Group in exchange for cash or, at our election, shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (or, in certain circumstances, for shares of nonvoting Class A common stock). When a Common Unit is so exchanged, a corresponding Class B Share is automatically cancelled for no additional consideration. Because a redemption election does not result in an entitlement to any of our voting securities, the TPG partners listed in the table would not be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Class A common stock that they could receive in respect of their TPG Partner Units. The shares of Class B common stock held by TPG Group Holdings and the AG Partnerships are reflected within the beneficial ownership of GP LLC and Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter and Winkelried, as described in footnote 4 to this table. |

(3) | The number of shares of Class A common stock listed for each individual includes shares directly owned by the individual or through an entity controlled by (or that could be deemed to be controlled by) the individual. The number of shares of Class A common stock and the total voting power percentages excludes shares of Class A common stock underlying restricted stock units that are not scheduled to vest within 60 days of the date of this table. |

All of the directors and executive officers listed in this table are limited partners of TPG Partner Holdings, and as such are indirect limited partners of TPG Group Holdings. GP LLC is owned by entities owned by each of Messrs. Bonderman, Coulter and Winkelried. Each of GP LLC, Advisors LLC, SBS Advisors, Advisors Inc., TPG Partner Holdings, New Holdings, TPG Group Holdings and Messrs.

(19) | Reflects the operation of Article 4.2(a) of our restated certificate of incorporation, which stipulates that “Free Float” (as defined under the rules of FTSE Russell relating to the Russell indices) shares of Class A common stock are entitled to at least 5.1% of the aggregate voting power (the “Free Float Threshold”). If on any record date the votes entitled to be cast by Free Float shares of Class A common stock do not equal 5.1% of the aggregate voting power, the voting power of the shares of Class B common stock will be reduced proportionately until the Free Float Threshold is met. Absent the application of Article 4.2(a), the total voting power of the beneficial owner would equal approximately 97%. |

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS
The following is a summary of certain material U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of our Class A common stock as of the date hereof. Except where noted, this summary deals only with Class A common stock that is held as a capital asset by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below).
A “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of shares of our Class A common stock (other than an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any of the following:
• | an individual citizen or resident of the United States; |
• | a corporation (or any other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia; |
• | an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or |
• | a trust if it (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a court within the United States and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person. |
This summary is based upon provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income and estate taxes and does not deal with non-U.S., state, local or other tax considerations that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their particular circumstances. In addition, it does not represent a detailed description of the U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences applicable to you if you are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including if you are a U.S. expatriate, foreign pension fund, “controlled foreign corporation,” “passive foreign investment company” or a partnership or other pass-through entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes). We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this summary.
If an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds shares of our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a partner will generally depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding our Class A common stock, you should consult your tax advisors.
You should consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income and estate tax consequences to you of the ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock, as well as the consequences to you arising under other U.S. federal tax laws and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.
Dividends
In the event that we make a distribution of cash or other property (other than certain pro rata distributions of our Class A common stock) in respect of shares of our Class A common stock, the distribution generally will be treated as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent it is paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Any portion of a distribution that exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits generally will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted tax basis of a non-U.S. holder’s Class A common stock, and to the extent the amount of the distribution exceeds a non-U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in shares of our Class A common stock, the excess will be treated as gain from the disposition of shares of our Class A common stock (the tax treatment of which is discussed below under “—Gain on Disposition of Class A Common Stock”).
S-21
Table of Contents
Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty, subject to the discussion of FATCA (as defined herein) below under “—Additional Withholding Requirements.” However, dividends that are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business by the non-U.S. holder within the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment) are not subject to the withholding tax, provided certain certification and disclosure requirements are satisfied. Instead, such dividends are subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person as defined under the Code. Any such effectively connected dividends received by a foreign corporation may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty.
A non-U.S. holder who wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate and avoid backup withholding, as discussed below, for dividends will be required (a) to provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable form) certifying under penalty of perjury that such holder is not a U.S. person as defined under the Code and is eligible for treaty benefits or (b) if our Class A common stock is held through certain foreign intermediaries, to satisfy the relevant certification requirements of applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Special certification and other requirements apply to certain non-U.S. holders that are pass-through entities rather than corporations or individuals.
A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS.
Gain on Disposition of Class A Common Stock
Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and additional withholding below, any gain realized by a non-U.S. holder on the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:
• | the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business of the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment of the non-U.S. holder); |
• | the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more in the taxable year of that disposition, and certain other conditions are met; or |
• | we are or have been a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and certain other conditions are met. |
In a situation in the first bullet point or the third bullet point immediately above, a non-U.S. holder will be subject to tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition in the same manner as if the non-U.S. holder were a U.S. person as defined under the Code. In addition, if any non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point immediately above is a foreign corporation, the gain realized by such non-U.S. holder may be subject to an additional “branch profits tax” at a 30% rate or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty. An individual non-U.S. holder described in the second bullet point immediately above will be subject to a 30% (or such lower rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) tax on the gain derived from the sale or other disposition, which gain may be offset by U.S. source capital losses even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States.
Generally, a corporation is a “U.S. real property holding corporation” if the fair market value of its U.S. real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business (all as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes). We believe we are not and do not anticipate becoming a “U.S. real property holding corporation” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Table of Contents
Federal Estate Tax
Class A common stock held by an individual non-U.S. holder at the time of death will be included in such holder’s gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.
Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
Distributions paid to a non-U.S. holder and the amount of any tax withheld with respect to such distributions generally will be reported to the IRS. Copies of the information returns reporting such distributions and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.
A non-U.S. holder will not be subject to backup withholding on dividends received if such holder certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that such holder is a U.S. person as defined under the Code), or such holder otherwise establishes an exemption.
Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock made within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless the beneficial owner certifies under penalty of perjury that it is a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the beneficial owner is a U.S. person as defined under the Code), or such owner otherwise establishes an exemption.
Backup withholding is not an additional tax and any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against a non-U.S. holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.
Additional Withholding Requirements
Under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code (such Sections commonly referred to as “FATCA”), a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax may apply to any dividends paid on our Class A common stock to (i) a “foreign financial institution” (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA or (y) its compliance (or deemed compliance) with FATCA (which may alternatively be in the form of compliance with an intergovernmental agreement with the United States) in a manner which avoids withholding, or (ii) a “non-financial foreign entity” (as specifically defined in the Code) which does not provide sufficient documentation, typically on IRS Form W-8BEN-E, evidencing either (x) an exemption from FATCA or (y) adequate information regarding certain substantial U.S. beneficial owners of such entity (if any). Under proposed U.S. Treasury regulations promulgated by the Treasury Department on December 13, 2018, which state that taxpayers may rely on the proposed Treasury regulations until final Treasury regulations are issued, this withholding tax will not apply to the gross proceeds from the sale or disposition of our Class A common stock. An intergovernmental agreement between the United States and an applicable foreign country may modify these requirements. If a dividend payment is both subject to withholding under FATCA and subject to the withholding tax discussed above under “—Dividends,” the withholding under FATCA may be credited against, and therefore reduce, such other withholding tax. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding these requirements and whether they may be relevant to your ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC are acting as the underwriters of this offering. We and the selling stockholders have entered into an underwriting agreement with the underwriters. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement, the selling stockholders have agreed to sell to the underwriters, and each underwriter has severally agreed to purchase from the selling stockholders, shares of Class A common stock listed next to its name in the following table:

The underwriters are committed to purchase all of the shares of Class A common stock offered by the selling stockholders if they purchase any shares. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may also be increased or the offering may be terminated.
The underwriters are purchasing the shares of Class A common stock from the selling stockholders at $ per share (representing $ aggregate proceeds to the selling stockholders). The underwriters may offer the shares of Class A common stock from time to time for sale in one or more transactions on NASDAQ, in the over-the-counter market, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The underwriters may effect such transactions by selling shares of Class A common stock to or through dealers, and such dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or purchasers of shares of Class A common stock for whom it may act as agents or to whom it may sell as principal. The difference between the price at which the underwriters purchase shares and the price at which the underwriters resell such shares may be deemed underwriting compensation.
We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, including registration, filing and listing fees, printing fees and legal, advisory and accounting expenses to be approximately $ million. The underwriters have agreed to reimburse us for certain expenses incurred in connection with this offering in an amount not to exceed $ million. We have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for expenses relating to clearance of this offering with FINRA for up to $ .

Our common stock is listed on NASDAQ under the symbol “TPG.”
In connection with this offering, the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, which involves making bids for, purchasing and selling shares of common stock in the open market for the purpose of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock while this offering is in progress. These stabilizing transactions may include making short sales of common stock, which involves the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of shares of common stock than it is required to purchase in this offering (a “naked” short), and purchasing shares of common stock on the open market to cover positions created by short sales. The underwriters must close out any naked short position by purchasing shares in the open market.
The underwriters have advised us that, pursuant to Regulation M of the Securities Act, it may also engage in other activities that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of the common stock, including the imposition of penalty bids. This means that if the underwriters purchase common stock in the open market in stabilizing transactions or to cover short sales, the underwriters that sold those shares as part of this offering to repay the underwriting discount received by them. These activities may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of the common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the common stock, and, as a result, the price of the common stock may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. If the underwriters commence these activities, it may discontinue them at any time. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on NASDAQ, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

This prospectus is part of an automatic shelf registration statement that we filed with the SEC as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under this automatic shelf registration statement, certain selling stockholders may offer, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings, shares of Class A common stock described in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement in amounts, at prices and on other terms to be determined at the time of the offering.
This prospectus is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment in our Class A common stock described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides you with a general description of our Class A common stock the selling stockholders may offer. To the extent required by applicable law, each time the selling stockholders sell shares of Class A common stock, the selling stockholders will provide you with this prospectus and, to the extent required, a prospectus supplement that will contain more information about the specific terms of the offering. A supplement to this prospectus or a free writing prospectus may also add to, update or change the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. To the extent that any statement made in an accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus is inconsistent with statements made in this prospectus, the statements made in this prospectus will be deemed modified or superseded by those made in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate by reference information into this prospectus. This means that important information is contained in other documents that are considered to be a part of this prospectus. Additionally, information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. You should carefully read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, if any, and any related free writing prospectus, together with the additional information that is incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus as described under “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” before making an investment decision. This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents.

In considering the performance information included in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus relating to our funds, you should bear in mind that the performance of our funds is not indicative of the possible performance of our Class A common stock and is also not necessarily indicative of the future results of our funds, even if fund investments were in fact liquidated on the dates indicated, and there can be no assurance that our funds will continue to achieve, or that future funds will achieve, comparable results. In addition, an investment in our Class A common stock is not an investment in any of the TPG funds, and the assets and revenues of our funds are not directly available to us. This prospectus relates solely to the Class A common stock that the selling stockholders may offer from time to time.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements contained in this prospectus or in our other documents that are incorporated by reference herein, that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, estimated operational metrics, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among other things, statements regarding the expected growth, future capital expenditures, fund performance, dividends and dividend policy and debt service obligations.
Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., AG Funds L.P., AG Partners, L.P., AG Partner Investments, L.P. and AG GP, LLC (collectively “Angelo Gordon”); purchase price adjustments; unexpected costs related to the integration of the Angelo Gordon business and operations; our ability to manage growth and execute our business plan and regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.
For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are incorporated by reference herein. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

Common Stock
Class A Common Stock
Voting. Subject to any proportionate adjustment of voting power of the Class A common stock related to the Class A Free Float, generally holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have the ability to cumulate votes for the election of directors. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law. The “Class A Free Float” includes shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding as adjusted to include only those shares that the Company determines are free float, consistent with the index policy, methodology, or guidance, whether written or oral, of the FTSE Russell and any related or successor entities.
Dividends. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors or, until the Sunset, our Executive Committee, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock.
Dissolution and Liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class A common stock and nonvoting Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution, subject to the limited rights of our Class B common stock as described below.

Issuance of Additional Class A Common Stock.

We are obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock or nonvoting Class A common stock (subject to the transfer and exchange restrictions set forth in the TPG Operating Group Limited Partnership Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement) to holders who, upon our applicable affiliate’s election, exchange their Common Units for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (unless we do not elect, in which case, such exchange will be satisfied for cash from a substantially concurrent primary equity offering). Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a holder of the Common Units, we (or our subsidiary) may, at our election, effect a direct exchange of cash from a substantially concurrent primary equity offering (based on the closing price per share of the Class A common stock on the day before the pricing of such primary equity offering (taking into account customary brokerage commissions or underwriting discounts actually incurred)), Class A

common stock or nonvoting Class A common stock for Common Units in lieu of such a redemption. When a Common Unit is exchanged for a share of our Class A common stock, a corresponding share of our Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.
Nonvoting Class A Common Stock
Voting. Holders of shares of nonvoting Class A common stock have no voting rights in respect of such shares other than those voting rights required by law. Nonvoting Class A common stock has the same rights and privileges as, and ranks equally and share ratably with, and is identical in all respects to the Class A common stock, except with respect to voting.
Dividends. Holders of our nonvoting Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors or, until the Sunset, our Executive Committee, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock.
Dissolution and Liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class A common stock and nonvoting Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution, subject to the limited rights of the Class B common stock as described below.
No Preemptive Rights. Holders of our nonvoting Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.
Issuance of Additional Nonvoting Class A Common Stock. We may issue additional shares of nonvoting Class A common stock from time to time, subject to applicable provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law.
Conversion. The nonvoting Class A common stock will not be convertible to Class A common stock until such time as they are transferred to a third party as and when permitted by the Investor Rights Agreement.
Class B Common Stock
Voting. Holders of our Class B common stock are generally entitled to ten votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders prior to the Sunset; provided that, prior to the Sunset, in the event that the voting power of the Class A Free Float does not equal at least 5.1% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock voting together as of any record date for a vote of stockholders, the voting power of the Class B common stock will be reduced proportionately until the voting power of the Class A Free Float is at least 5.1% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote.
Holders of our voting Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law.
Dividends. Holders of the Class B common stock are not entitled to dividends in respect of their shares of Class B common stock.
Dissolution and Liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class B common stock shall be entitled to $0.001 per share. In connection with an exchange of a Common Unit for Class A common stock, the corresponding share of our Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

Table of Contents
No Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. The Class B common stock is subject to redemption upon an exchange of a Common Unit for a share of Class A common stock.
Issuance of Additional Class B Common Stock.
Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, we will issue a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the aggregate number of Common Units issued by the TPG Operating Group to such holder of Common Units, for no additional consideration.
If any outstanding share of Class B common stock shall cease to be held by a holder of a Common Unit, such share shall automatically be transferred to us, shall no longer be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such share shall automatically cease and terminate.
Additional shares of Class B Common Stock may also be issued in connection with a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar transaction.
Coordination with the TPG Operating Group
At any time we issue a share of Class A common stock for cash, (i) the net proceeds received by us will be promptly transferred to the TPG Operating Group, and the TPG Operating Group will issue to us a Common Unit, or (ii) we will acquire a Common Unit from an existing holder. If at any time we issue a share of Class A common stock pursuant to our equity plan or otherwise, we will contribute to the TPG Operating Group all of the proceeds that we receive (if any) and the TPG Operating Group will issue to us an equal number of its Common Units, having the same restrictions, if any, as are attached to the shares of Class A common stock issued under the plan. If at any time we issue a share of our Class A common stock upon an exchange of a Common Unit, we will retain such Common Unit. In the event that we issue other classes or series of our equity securities, the TPG Operating Group will issue to us an equal amount of equity securities of the TPG Operating Group with designations, preferences and other rights and terms that are substantially the same as our newly issued equity securities. Conversely, if we retire any shares of our Class A common stock (or our equity securities of other classes or series) for cash, the TPG Operating Group will, immediately prior to such retirement, redeem an equal number of Common Units (or its equity securities of the corresponding classes or series) held by us, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of our Class A common stock (or our equity securities of such other classes or series) are retired. In addition, Common Units, as well as our common stock, will be subject to equivalent stock splits, dividends, reclassifications and other subdivisions. Lastly, holders of Common Units will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement and the TPG Operating Group Limited Partnership Agreement.
Preferred Stock
Our board of directors has the authority to issue Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and related restrictions, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, the right to elect directors, terms of redemption, any sinking fund for the redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or series, or the designation of the class or series, without the approval of our stockholders, subject to the consent of our Founders.
The authority of our board of directors to issue Preferred Stock without approval of our stockholders may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

Table of Contents
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or Preferred Stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control.
These provisions are primarily designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal or proxy fight. Such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management or delaying or preventing a transaction that might benefit certain of our stockholders.
These provisions include:
Super Voting Stock. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote, except as set forth in our certificate of incorporation or required by applicable law. However, prior to the Sunset, the Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share and the Class A common stock generally are entitled to one vote per share. Consequently, the holders of our Class B common stock will generally control matters brought to stockholders for a vote, including the election of directors.
Board Structure. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for one class of directors each of whom will serve for one-year terms with annual elections, subject to the terms specified in the GP LLC LLCA. Upon the expiration of the initial term of office for each class of directors, each director in such class shall be elected for a term of one year and shall serve until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal, subject to the terms of the GP LLC LLCA, which provides that (i) each of our Founders and Mr. Winkelried will be re-elected by the Control Group at each annual meeting of stockholders until the Sunset, (ii) each of our management directors will be elected by the Control Group for at least two consecutive terms and (iii) each of our independent directors will be re-elected by the Control Group at each annual meeting of stockholders (unless removed by a majority of the Control Group for cause) until the expansion of the Control Group to five members, at which point the independent directors will be eligible for re-election by a majority of the members of the Control Group until the Sunset. Prior to the Sunset, vacancies occurring on the board of directors, whether due to death, resignation, removal, retirement, disqualification or for any other reason, and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, if any, shall be filled by the Control Group. Prior to the Sunset, the Control Group has the sole ability to elect the members of our board of directors.
Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that prior to the Sunset, stockholders may act by written consent instead of a meeting for any action required or
11
Table of Contents
permitted to be taken by the stockholders at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders, subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time, but only by the board of directors or any of the non-executive chairman, executive chairman or CEO.
Election and Removal of Directors. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not expressly provide for cumulative voting.
Subject to any preferred designation, and to the limitations and requirements set forth in the GP LLC LLCA, our directors may be removed with or without cause, but only upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, any certificate of designation pursuant to which a particular series of Preferred Stock is issued may provide holders of that series of Preferred Stock with the right to elect additional directors. Pursuant to the GP LLC LLCA, the management directors cannot be removed without cause prior to the end of two consecutive one-year terms.
Authorized but Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of common stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing rules of NASDAQ. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and Preferred Stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. See “—Preferred Stock” and “—Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock” above.
Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law, prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, which person or group is considered an interested stockholder under the DGCL, for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner.
We elected in our certificate of incorporation that we are not subject to Section 203. However, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203, except that they provide that GP LLC, affiliates of GP LLC, and their respective direct and indirect permitted transferees (other than TPG or any of our direct and indirect subsidiaries) are not be deemed to be “interested stockholders,” regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them, and accordingly are not subject to such restrictions.
Corporate Opportunities. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we have waived certain corporate opportunities as identified in the GP LLC LLCA, such that GP LLC and the other persons specified therein shall not be liable to TPG, our affiliates or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder or director of TPG from pursuit of such opportunities.
Advance Notice Provisions. Our bylaws require stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election as directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, or to bring other business before an annual or special meeting (other than a proposal submitted under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, which must be submitted in accordance with such rule), to provide timely notice in writing. A stockholder’s notice to our corporate secretary must be in proper written form and must set forth certain information, as required under our bylaws, related to the stockholder giving the notice, the beneficial owner (if any) on whose behalf the nomination is made as well as their control persons and information about the proposal or nominee for election to the board of directors.
Exclusive forum. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) action
12

asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing by any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder to us or our stockholders, (iii) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that the foregoing exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim or cause of action for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.
Additionally, our certificate of incorporation also provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce such provision. Pursuant to the Exchange Act, claims arising thereunder must be brought in federal district courts of the United States of America.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provision in our certificate of incorporation. In any case, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived (and cannot waive) compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this choice of forum provision. These exclusive forum provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.
In addition, certain provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement could have the effect of deterring or facilitating a control transaction.
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors
Our bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to certain exceptions contained in our bylaws. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers (as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) that may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except that a director will be personally liable for:
• | any breach of his duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; |
• | acts or omissions not in good faith, or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; |
• | unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; |
• | any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or |
• | improper distributions to stockholders. |
