PROXY STATEMENT

Our board of directors (the 'Board of Directors' or the 'Board') is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. on behalf of the Board for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the 'Annual Meeting') of Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., which will take place at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on June 24, 2021, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be a completely 'virtual meeting' of shareholders. You will be able to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, where you will be able to vote electronically and submit questions during the live webcast, by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SCU2021 and entering the 16-digit control number included in our Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, on your proxy card or in the voting instructions that accompanies your proxy materials.

References to 'Class A Shares' refer to our Class A Shares, representing Class A common stock of Sculptor Capital, which are publicly traded and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, which we refer to as the 'NYSE.' References to 'Class B Shares' refer to Class B Shares of Sculptor Capital, which are not publicly traded, are currently held by our active and former executive managing directors, and have no economic rights but entitle the holders thereof to one vote per share together with the holders of our Class A Shares.

Each Class B Shareholder is entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of our shareholders except that Class B Shares that relate to our Group A-1 Units, which represent 11.2% of our total combined voting power, will be voted pro rata in accordance with the vote of the Class A Shares.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THESE PROXY MATERIALS AND VOTING

Why am I receiving these materials?

We have made available this proxy statement and proxy card because the Board of Directors of Sculptor Capital is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Annual Meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held on June 24, 2021 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time via live webcast through the www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SCU2021. You will need the 16-digit control number provided on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card (if applicable). This solicitation is for proxies for use at the Annual Meeting or any reconvened meeting after an adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting.

You are invited to join the Annual Meeting and we request that you vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement. However, you do not need to join the Annual Meeting to vote your Shares. Instead, you may simply complete, sign and return the proxy card or vote by telephone or Internet, as discussed below.

How are we distributing our proxy materials?

To expedite delivery, reduce our costs and decrease the environmental impact of printing and mailing our proxy materials, we used 'Notice and Access' in accordance with an SEC rule that permits us to provide these materials to our shareholders over the Internet. On April 28, 2021, we sent a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials to certain of our shareholders containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials online. If you received a Notice, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials in the mail unless you specifically request them. Instead, the Notice instructs you on how to access and review all of the important information contained in the proxy materials online. The Notice also instructs you on how you may submit your proxy via the Internet. If you received a Notice and would like to receive a copy of our proxy materials, follow the instructions contained in the Notice to request a paper or email copy on a one-time or ongoing basis. Shareholders who do not receive the Notice will continue to receive either a paper or electronic copy of this proxy statement and our 2020 Annual Report to Shareholders, which was sent on or about April 28, 2021.

Who is entitled to vote at and attend the Annual Meeting?

Only shareholders of record of our Shares at the close of business on the record date, April 27, 2021, are entitled to receive notice of, to vote at and join the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding Class A Share and Class B Share entitles its holder to cast one vote on each matter to be voted upon. Class B Shares that relate to our Group A-1 Units, which represent 11.2% of our total combined voting power, will be voted pro rata in accordance with the vote of the Class A Shares.

What is the difference between Class A Shares and ClassB Shares?

The Class A Shares represent Class A shares of the Registrant and are listed on the NYSE. The holders of Class A Shares are entitled to one vote per share and any dividends we may pay. The Class A Shares vote together with the Class B Shares on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.

The Class B Shares are held by our active and former executive managing directors. They have no economic rights (and therefore no rights to any dividends or distributions we may pay) and are not publicly traded, but rather entitle the holders to one vote per share together with the Class A Shareholders. Class B Shares that relate to our Group A-1 Units, which represent 11.2% of our total combined voting power, will be voted pro rata in accordance with the vote of the Class A Shares. The Class B Shares are intended solely to provide our active and former executive managing directors with voting interests in Sculptor Capital commensurate with their economic interests in the Sculptor Operating Group. The Class B Shares are not currently and are not expected to be registered for public sale or listed on the NYSE or any other securities exchange.

What is the difference between holding Shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?

Most of the holders of our Class A Shares hold their shares beneficially through a broker or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. All of our Class B Shares are held directly by our active and former executive managing directors in their names. As summarized below, there are some distinctions between Shares owned beneficially and those held of record.

Beneficial Owner: If your Class A Shares are held in a brokerage account or by another nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of Class A Shares held in 'street name,' and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you together with a voting instruction card by your broker, trustee or other nominee, as the case may be. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, trustee or other nominee how to vote. The voting instruction card from your broker, trustee or other nominee contains voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker, trustee or other nominee how to vote your Class A Shares.

Because a beneficial owner is not the shareholder of record, you may not electronically vote your Class A Shares at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a 'legal proxy' from the broker, trustee or other nominee that holds your Shares giving you the right to vote the Shares at the Annual Meeting.

Shareholder of Record: If your Shares are registered directly in your name with us or our share transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC, you are considered the shareholder of record with respect to those Shares and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you by the Company. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly to us or to vote electronically at the Annual Meeting. We have enclosed or sent a proxy card for you to use.

What will I need in order to virtually attend the Annual Meeting?

You are entitled to attend the virtual Annual Meeting only if you were a shareholder of record as of the record date for the Annual Meeting, or April 27, 2021 (the 'Record Date'), or you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. You may attend the Annual Meeting, vote, and submit a question during the Annual Meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SCU2021 and using your 16-digit control number to enter the meeting.

Shares held in your name as the shareholder of record may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. Shares for which you are the beneficial owner but not the shareholder of record also may be voted electronically during the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Shares held in the name of a broker, trustee or other nominee, you must obtain a 'legal proxy,' executed in your favor, from such broker, trustee or other nominee to be able to vote electronically at the Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker, trustee or other nominee included with these proxy materials or contact your broker, trustee or other nominee to request a 'legal proxy.' You should allow yourself enough time prior to the Annual Meeting to obtain this 'legal proxy' from the holder of record.

Even if you plan to virtually attend the Annual Meeting, the Company recommends that you vote your shares in advance, so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence of a quorum is required for business to be conducted at the Annual Meeting. The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of our Shares outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum. As of the April 27, 2021 Record Date, 57,618,103 Shares (comprised of 24,730,221 Class A Shares and 32,887,882 Class B Shares) were outstanding and entitled to vote. If you submit a properly executed proxy card, regardless of whether you abstain from voting, you will be considered in determining the presence of a quorum.

How do I vote my shares?

You may vote via webcast at the Annual Meeting or by mail. If you are a holder of record of Shares, you also can choose to vote by telephone or electronically through the Internet. If you hold your Shares in 'street name' through a broker, trustee or other nominee, you also may be able to vote by telephone or electronically through the Internet in accordance with the voting instructions provided to you by such broker, trustee or other nominee.

Voting by Mail: If you are a holder of record of Shares and choose to vote by mail, simply complete, sign and date your proxy card and mail it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope. Proxy cards submitted by mail must be received by our Office of the Secretary prior to the Annual Meeting in order for your Shares to be voted. If you hold Shares beneficially in street name and choose to vote by mail, you must complete, sign and date the voting instruction card provided by your broker, trustee or other nominee and mail it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope within the specified time period.

Voting by Telephone or Internet: If you are a holder of record of Shares, you can choose to vote by telephone or by Internet. You can vote by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number on your proxy card. The website for Internet voting is listed on the proxy card. Please have your proxy card handy when you call or go online. Telephone and Internet voting facilities for shareholders of record will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 23, 2021. If you hold your Shares beneficially in street name, the availability of telephonic or Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your broker, trustee or other nominee. Please check with your broker, trustee or other nominee and follow the voting procedures your broker, trustee or other nominee provides to vote your Shares.

Voting at the Annual Meeting: If you are a holder of record of Shares, you may attend and vote via webcast at the Annual Meeting. If you are a beneficial owner of Shares held in the name of a broker, trustee or other nominee, you must obtain a 'legal proxy,' executed in your favor, from such broker, trustee or other nominee to be able to vote at the Annual Meeting. Follow the instructions from your broker, trustee or other nominee included with these proxy materials or contact your broker, trustee or other nominee to request a 'legal proxy.' You should allow yourself enough time prior to the Annual Meeting to obtain this 'legal proxy' from the holder of record.

Even if you plan to participate virtually at the Annual Meeting, we encourage shareholders to vote well before the Annual Meeting, by completing proxies online or by telephone, or by mailing their proxy cards. Shareholders can vote via the Internet in advance of or during the meeting. Any vote properly cast at the Annual Meeting will supersede any previously submitted proxy or voting instructions. For additional information, please see 'Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card?' below.

How does the Board recommend I vote on the proposals?

The Board's recommendations are set forth after the description of each proposal in this proxy statement. In summary, the Board recommends a vote:

•'FOR' the election of Ms. Meghna Desai, Ms. Marcy Engel and Mr. Bharath Srikrishnan as Class II directors to serve for three-year terms (see Proposal No. 1); and

•'FOR' the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2021 (see Proposal No. 2).

What vote is required to approve each proposal?

Election of Directors. For Proposal No. 1, the election of directors, each Shareholder is entitled to vote for three nominees for Class II director. Directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast at any duly convened meeting at which a quorum is present. Thus, the three nominees with the greatest number of votes will be elected. Abstentions will have no effect on the election of Class II directors, as they are not counted as votes cast. There is no cumulative voting.

Other Proposals. For Proposal No. 2, the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, a majority of the votes cast will be required for approval. A majority of votes cast means that the number of votes cast 'for' must exceed the number of votes cast 'against.' Abstentions are not counted as votes 'for' or 'against' this proposal and thus will have no effect on the outcome of the vote.

Notwithstanding the vote standards described herein, please be advised that Proposal No. 2 is advisory only and will not be binding on the Company or the Board and will not create or imply any change in the fiduciary duties of, or impose any additional fiduciary duty on, the Company or the Board. However, the Board and Audit Committee, as the case may be, will take into account the outcome of the votes when considering what action, if any, should be taken in response to the advisory votes by Shareholders.

A 'broker non-vote' would occur only if a broker, trustee or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a particular item from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote such Shares. Although the determination of whether a broker, bank or other nominee will have discretionary voting power for a particular item is typically determined only after proxy materials are filed with the SEC, we expect that the proposal on ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2) will be a routine matter and that the election of each nominee for director (Proposal No. 1) will be a non-routine matter. Accordingly, we expect that brokers will have discretionary voting power to vote Shares for which no voting instructions have been provided by the

beneficial owner with respect to Proposal No. 2. We expect that brokers will not have discretionary voting power to vote Shares with respect to Proposal No. 1, and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal, as broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast.

How will my Shares be voted if I do not indicate a vote on my proxy card or voting instruction form?

Your Shares will be voted as you indicate on the proxy card or voting instruction form, as applicable. If you return your signed proxy card but do not mark the boxes indicating how you wish to vote, your Shares will be voted as recommended by the Board. See the question above entitled 'How does the Board recommend I vote on the proposals?'

Your Shares will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the proxyholders as to any other matter that is properly presented at the Annual Meeting.

Can I change my vote or revoke my proxy after I return my proxy card or voting instruction form?

Yes. Even after you have submitted your proxy, you may change your vote at any time before the proxy is exercised at the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record as of April 27, 2021, regardless of the way in which you submitted your original proxy, you may change it by:

•returning a later-dated signed proxy card to us, prior to the Annual Meeting, at Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Office of the Secretary;

•delivering a later-dated written notice of revocation to us, prior to the Annual Meeting, at Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Office of the Secretary;

•submitting a later-dated proxy by telephone or Internet (only your last telephone or Internet proxy will be counted) prior to the Annual Meeting; or

•attending the Annual Meeting and properly voting via webcast.

If your Shares are held through a broker, trustee or other nominee, you will need to contact that nominee if you wish to change your voting instructions. You may also vote via webcast at the Annual Meeting if you obtain a 'legal proxy' as described in the answer to the question above entitled 'How do I vote my shares?-Voting at the Annual Meeting.'

Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked.

What happens if additional matters are presented at the Annual Meeting?

Other than the items of business described in this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other business to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting. If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxyholders will have the discretion to vote your Shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. If, for any reason, our nominees for Class II directors are not available as candidates for director, the persons named as proxyholders will vote your proxy for such other candidates as may be nominated by the Board of Directors, or the size of the Board of Directors will be reduced.

Who will count the votes?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will count the votes and act as the inspector of election.

Who will pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the cost of soliciting proxies. Our directors, officers and other employees, without additional compensation, may solicit proxies personally or in writing, by telephone, e-mail, or otherwise. We are required to request that brokers, trustees and other nominees who hold Shares in their names furnish our proxy materials to the beneficial owners of the Shares, and we must reimburse these brokers, trustees and other nominees for the expenses of doing so in accordance with statutory fee schedules.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board of Directors

The primary functions of our Board of Directors are to:

•provide oversight, counseling and direction to our management in the interest and for the benefit of our Shareholders;

•monitor senior management's performance;

•actively oversee risks that could affect our Company;

•oversee and promote the exercise of responsible corporate governance; and

•perform the duties and responsibilities assigned to them under our Charter, Bylaws and other organizational documents, Corporate Governance Guidelines and the laws of Delaware, our state of formation.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines as a framework for the governance of the Company. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines work together with our Charter and Bylaws, which contain certain processes and procedures relating to our corporate governance. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines describe additional processes and procedures that are intended to meet the listing standards of the NYSE and also provide reasonable assurance that our Board of Directors acts in the best interest of our Shareholders. The Corporate Governance Guidelines address issues relating to the Board of Directors, such as membership, Board leadership and meetings and procedures, as well as issues relating to the committees of the Board, such as structure, function, charters, membership and responsibilities. The full text of our Corporate Governance Guidelines can be found in the 'Investor Relations- Corporate Governance-Governance Documents' section of our website (www.sculptor.com). A copy may also be obtained upon written request to us at Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Office of the Secretary.

Director Independence

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a majority of the directors serving on our Board must qualify as independent directors and each of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee and Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance must consist solely of independent directors. As described in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, our Board annually (or as circumstances warrant) makes an affirmative determination regarding the independence of each director. An 'independent' director meets both the NYSE's definition of independence, as well as the Board's independence standards (the 'Director Independence Standards'), in each case as determined by the Board in its business judgment. The Director Independence Standards, attached as Annex A to this proxy statement, are set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and are also available on our website (www.sculptor.com). Our Board undertook its annual review of director independence in April 2021, and in the process reviewed the independence of each director. In determining independence, our Board reviews, among other things, whether each director has any material relationship with us. An independent director must not have any material relationship with us, or any relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Based on the standards set forth by the NYSE and in our Director Independence Standards, the Board has affirmatively determined, after its annual review, that Marcy Engel, David W. Bonanno, Meghna Desai (a Class II Director Nominee), Georganne C. Proctor, J. Morgan Rutman and Bharath Srikrishnan are each independent. James S. Levin and Wayne Cohen are members of management and therefore not independent.

Board Leadership Structure; Executive Sessions of the Independent Directors

Marcy Engel is our Chairperson of the Board, and James Levin is our Chief Executive Officer ('CEO'). Our Bylaws permit the roles of Chairperson and CEO to be filled by the same or different individuals. This allows the Board flexibility to determine whether the two roles should be separated or combined in the future based upon the Company's needs and the

Board's assessment of the Company's leadership from time to time. Our Board periodically reviews the Company's leadership structure and whether separating or combining the roles of Chairperson and CEO is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. When making this determination, the Board will consider any recommendation of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee, the current circumstances at the Company, the skills and experiences of the individuals involved and the leadership composition of the Board. Separating the positions of CEO and Chairperson allows our CEO to focus on our day-to-day business, while allowing the Chairperson of the Board to lead the Board in its fundamental role of providing advice to and independent oversight of management.

In addition, our Board, in accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, annually determines whether a Lead Independent Director is necessary and may determine not to designate a Lead Independent Director for so long as the roles of Chairperson of the Board and the Company's Chief Executive Officer are not held by the same individual, or when the Chairperson would not be deemed independent under governing listing standards. The Board has determined that a Lead Independent Director is not necessary at this time.

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the independent directors meet in executive sessions, at which the Chairperson presides, without management present at least once every quarter. Following these sessions, the Chairperson of the Board provides management with specific feedback and input regarding information flow, agenda items and any other relevant matters, thereby enhancing the oversight function of the independent directors and the committees of the Board.

Committees of the Board

The Board has four standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee and the Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board may establish and maintain other committees from time to time, as it deems necessary and appropriate. The following table provides a summary of the membership of the Board and each of its standing committees as of April 28, 2021.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

Our Board is responsible for overseeing the effectiveness of management's overall risk management programs and processes and focuses on our overall risk management strategies. Management is responsible for the day-to-day assessment and management of risk and the development and implementation of related mitigation procedures and processes. In exercising this responsibility, management regularly conducts risk assessments of our business and operations, including our funds' portfolios. Management's risk management processes cover the full scope of our operations, are global in nature and designed to identify and assess risks as well as determine appropriate ways to mitigate and manage risks. Further, our Risk Committee, which is comprised of members of senior management, oversees portfolio risk management processes. Additionally, our Business Risk Committee, which is also comprised of members of senior management, reviews and evaluates proposed transactions prior to commitment that may present certain risks for our Company, including legal, compliance, reputational or other business risks.

Our Board has delegated to its committees specific risk oversight responsibilities as summarized below. The chairs of the committees report regularly to the Board on the areas of risk they are responsible for overseeing. Further, under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, each of our directors has full and free access to members of the Company's management and, in accordance with our organizational documents and agreements, may consult with the Company's management committees. The Board and its committees oversee risks associated with their respective principal areas of focus, summarized as follows:

•The Board as a whole has primary responsibility for overseeing strategic, financial and execution risks associated with the Company's operations and operating environment, including: (i) significant changes in economic and market conditions worldwide that may pose significant risk to our overall business; (ii) major legal, regulatory and compliance matters that may present material risk to the Company's operations, plans, prospects or competitive position; (iii) strategic and competitive developments; and (iv) senior management succession planning. The Board reviews information concerning these and other relevant matters that are regularly presented by management, including our Risk Committee, our internal auditors, our Chief Legal Officer and our Chief Compliance Officer, as well as each of the committees of the Board.

•The Audit Committee has primary responsibility for addressing risks relating to financial matters, particularly financial reporting, accounting practices and policies, disclosure controls and procedures, internal control over financial reporting and significant tax, legal and regulatory compliance matters. Our Chief Financial Officer regularly provides reports to the Audit Committee on these matters. Additionally, the Company's internal auditors report independently to the Audit Committee and our Chief Legal Officer and our Chief Compliance Officer independently report quarterly to the Audit Committee regarding legal matters, compliance matters, and the activities of the Business Risk Committee. In addition, our Board has delegated primary responsibility to the Audit Committee for the oversight of the Company's cybersecurity and other information technology risks, controls and procedures, including the Company's ongoing monitoring of cybersecurity risks, the implementation of plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and plans to respond to and potentially disclose cyber incidents. The Audit Committee reports in turn, at least annually, to the Board regarding the Company's cybersecurity risk management. To assist in performing this oversight function, the Audit Committee receives at least quarterly reports from the Company's Cybersecurity Risk Oversight Committee. The Cybersecurity Risk Oversight Committee has supervisory responsibilities with respect to the Company's information technology use and data security, including, but not limited to, enterprise cybersecurity, privacy, data collection and protection and compliance with information security and data protection laws. The Cybersecurity Risk Oversight Committee is committed to evaluating and mitigating cybersecurity risks and, accordingly, is responsible for ensuring that the Company's information security program and associated internal controls are reasonably designed to provide adequate safeguards to protect against security threats or hazards to our technology systems. The Cybersecurity Risk Oversight Committee meets monthly, is cross-functional and is co-chaired by the Company's Chief Legal Officer and Chief Technology Officer.

•The Compensation Committee has primary responsibility for addressing risks and exposures associated with the Company's compensation policies, plans and practices, regarding both executive compensation and the compensation structure generally, including whether it provides appropriate incentives and alignment of interests between our executives and the holders of our Class A Shares. Management has reviewed the Company's compensation policies and practices for our executive managing directors and employees as they relate to our risk management and reported its findings to the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has concluded that our compensation policies and practices, as described in the section below entitled 'Compensation Discussion and Analysis,' encourage and reward prudent business judgment and appropriate risk-taking over the long term and do not create incentives for risk-taking that are reasonably likely to pose material risks to the Company.

•The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee oversees risks associated with the independence of the Board and potential conflicts of interest.

•The Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance oversees risks associated with our legal and regulatory compliance programs.

Director Attendance at the Annual Meeting and Board and Committee Meetings

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, all of our directors are expected to prepare for, attend and actively participate in all Board meetings and all meetings of any committee of the Board of which they are a member. Also, pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines, our directors are encouraged to attend the Company's Annual Meetings. All of our then incumbent directors attended the 2020 Annual Meeting. During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Board held 22 meetings, the Audit Committee held seven meetings, the Compensation Committee held thirteen meetings, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee held eight meetings and the Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance held five meetings.

Selection of Director Nominees

The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board as to any persons it believes should be nominated to serve as a member of the Board, and the Board determines the nominees after considering the recommendation and report of the committee. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee will consider candidates for Board membership suggested by other members of the Board, management and holders of our Class A Shares. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee may retain the services of one or more third-party search firms to assist in identifying and evaluating potential candidates for Board membership. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee does not have a formal policy for consideration of director candidates recommended by our Shareholders, as our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that such candidates will be evaluated using the same criteria as candidates recommended by members of our Board or management. Shareholders may recommend any person for consideration as a director nominee by writing to the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee at Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., 9 West 57th Street, New York, New York 10019, Attention: Office of the Secretary. Recommendations must include the name and address of the Shareholder making the recommendation, a representation that the Shareholder is a holder of our Shares, the full name of and biographical information about the individual recommended, including the individual's business experience for at least the five previous years and qualifications as a director, and any other information the Shareholder believes would be helpful to the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee in evaluating the individual recommended.

Once a director candidate is identified, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee evaluates the candidate by considering criteria that it deems to be relevant. Although there are no specific minimum qualifications, the criteria evaluated by the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee may include, among others, business experience and skills, independence, judgment, integrity, diversity, the ability to commit sufficient time and attention to Board activities, and the absence of actual and/or potential conflicts of interest. The Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee considers these criteria in the context of the perceived needs of the Board as a whole at any given time.

In evaluating whether to nominate an incumbent director whose term of office is about to expire, and subject to the agreements described below and in 'Certain Agreements of the Registrant and the Sculptor Operating Group Entities,' the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee also reviews the director's overall service to the Company during his or her term, including the number of meetings attended, participation in and contribution to the deliberation of the Board and its committees, independence matters, and the benefits of continuity among Board members. In the event such incumbent director is a member of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee, such director recuses himself or herself from that portion of the meeting.

In addition to the selection arrangements described above:

•Mr. Och, the Company and certain of the Company's subsidiaries entered into a governance agreement, dated February 7, 2019 (the 'Governance Agreement'), pursuant to which the parties agreed to various corporate governance arrangements, including with respect to Mr. Och's selection of a director nominee. Mr. Rutman currently occupies this Board seat.

•Under the terms of our agreements with Delaware Life, Delaware Life has the right to nominate one director for election or re-election to the Board for so long as Delaware Life (including its affiliates and certain other entities from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Company and Delaware Life) continues to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting stock of the Company beneficially owned by it on November 13, 2020 (assuming the warrants held by Delaware Life were fully converted to Class A Shares). Mr. Srikrishnan currently occupies this Board seat.

•Mr. Levin, in consultation with the Partner Management Committee, shall have the right to nominate a director to the Board from the executive managing directors then serving on the Partner Management Committee (the 'PMC Board Seat'). Mr. Cohen currently occupies the PMC Board Seat.

See 'Certain Agreements of the Registrant and the Sculptor Operating Group Entities' for additional information.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires companies to have procedures in place to receive and address complaints received regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters and to allow for the confidential and anonymous submission by employees of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. We currently have such procedures in place and our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing them.

Prohibition on Hedging, Pledging and Short Sales

In addition, we prohibit our directors and executive officers from pledging the Company's equity securities, including unvested RSUs, as collateral.

PROPOSAL NO. 1

ELECTION OF CLASSII DIRECTORS

General

Our Board currently consists of seven members. Our Board may consist of such other number of directors as may from time to time be determined by a majority of our Board to be appropriate in accordance with the terms of our Bylaws. Pursuant to the Charter and Bylaws, our Board is divided into three classes of approximately equal size. Each Class of directors is elected for a three-year term, and the election of the classes is staggered such that only one Class of directors is elected each year.

Directors Standing for Election

Two of our current directors are standing for election, Ms. Marcy Engel and Mr. Bharath Srikrishnan, both Class II directors, who have consented to serve for an additional three-year term ending at the 2024 Annual Meeting and until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

Ms. Georganne C. Proctor, a current Class II director, is not standing for re-election. Accordingly, Ms. Proctor is not included as a nominee for election and her term will end at the Annual Meeting.

We do not know of any reason why the nominees would be unable to serve as Class II directors. However, if any of the nominees should become unavailable to serve, the Board may designate a substitute nominee or reduce the size of the Board. If the Board designates a substitute nominee, the persons named as proxyholder will vote 'FOR' that substitute nominee.

PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED

PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

General

Our Audit Committee has appointed Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. In connection with this appointment, Ernst & Young LLP will examine and report to Shareholders on the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries for 2021. Ernst & Young LLP is an independent registered public accounting firm and has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since our IPO in 2007. Ernst & Young LLP also currently serves, and in prior years has served, as the independent auditors for our funds.

Although not required, the Board has put this proposal before the Shareholders because it believes that seeking Shareholder ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is good corporate governance practice. This vote is only advisory, however, because the Audit Committee has the sole authority to retain and dismiss our independent registered public accounting firm. If the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP is not ratified, the Audit Committee will evaluate the basis for the Shareholders' vote when determining whether to continue the firm's engagement. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its sole discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Representatives of Ernst & Young LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from Shareholders. They also will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so.

The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote

'FOR' the ratification of the Audit Committee's appointment of Ernst & Young LLP

as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2021.

Principal Accountant Fees and Services

The following table summarizes the aggregate fees billed for professional services provided to the Company by Ernst & Young LLP for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019:


Fee Category	2020	2019

(dollars in thousands)
Audit Fees(1)	$	3,125	$	3,709
Audit-Related Fees(2)	96	71
Tax Fees(3)	1,453	2,341
Total Fees	$	4,674	$	6,121

(1)Audit Fees. Consist of fees for professional services provided in connection with the annual audit of our consolidated financial statements, the annual audit of internal control over financial reporting and the services that an independent registered public accounting firm would customarily provide in connection with subsidiary audits, other regulatory filings, and similar engagements, such as attest services, comfort letters, consents and reviews of documents filed with or submitted to the SEC.

(2)Audit-Related Fees. Consist primarily of fees for services rendered in connection with the audits of our employee benefit plans and agreed-upon procedures related to our term loans.

(3)Tax Fees. Consist of the aggregate fees billed for tax compliance, which generally involves assistance in preparing, reviewing or filing various tax related filings in the U.S. and in foreign jurisdictions, and tax consulting.

Ernst & Young LLP also provides audit and tax consulting and compliance services to funds that we do not consolidate. During 2020, fees for these services were approximately $10.3 million for audit fees and $2.8 million for tax

fees. During 2019, fees for these services were approximately $10.2 million for audit fees and $2.9 million for tax fees. The fees for these services are provided to and paid by the funds and therefore are not included in the above table.

The Audit Committee determined that the non-audit services provided by Ernst & Young LLP during the year ended December 31, 2020 were compatible with maintaining the independence of Ernst & Young LLP.

Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Our Audit Committee has adopted a policy implementing the SEC's rules requiring it to pre-approve all audit, audit-related and all permissible non-audit services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. These pre-approval requirements are intended to comply with rules of the SEC and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, which are applicable to all public companies, and to help assure that the provision of services does not impair our independent registered public accounting firm's independence from the Company. The policy specifically sets forth services that are pre-approved, as well as services that are prohibited. Any request to provide a service that has been pre-approved by the Audit Committee is submitted to the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer for authorization. If there is any question as to whether a service has been pre-approved, the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee is consulted for a determination. The term of any pre-approval is 12 months from the date of pre-approval, unless the Audit Committee specifically provides for a different period.

For services not specifically pre-approved pursuant to the policy, a written request will be submitted in advance to the Audit Committee by management along with documentation describing the scope of the proposed service, the fee structure for the service and any other relevant information. Prior to approving any service, the Audit Committee must discuss with the independent registered public accounting firm the potential effects of the proposed services on the independent registered public accounting firm's independence and seek management's views on whether the requested services are consistent with the policy as well as applicable law.

Our Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of our Audit Committee the authority to approve any audit, audit-related or non-audit services to be provided to us by our independent registered public accounting firm. Any approval of services pursuant to this delegated authority is reported on at the next meeting of the Audit Committee.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements, the reporting process and maintaining our system of internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm was engaged to audit and express opinions on the conformity of our financial statements to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements prepared for inclusion in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and our internal control over financial reporting with management and Ernst & Young LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also has reviewed and discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the 'PCAOB') and the SEC. As part of that review, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP regarding communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence that are required by applicable rules of the PCAOB and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence from management and the Company.

Relying on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, for filing with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE AND DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Executive Summary

•Our compensation philosophy focuses on: 1) providing alignment with Class A Shareholders and fund investors; 2) pay for performance; 3) talent retention in an intensely competitive market for investment and non-investment professionals in the hedge fund industry; 4) long-term commitment; and 5) incorporating appropriate risk mitigating features.

•Our CIO's contract is reflective of this philosophy - compensation is formulaic, not discretionary, and ties to fund performance. When our funds perform well, profits increase, resulting in benefit to our Class A Shareholders in addition to fund investors.

•To retain talent, we pay competitively to other alternative asset managers in the hedge fund business, which is our peer group. We are the only publicly traded hedge fund firm and thus we do not have any publicly traded peers.

•The Compensation Committee retains an independent compensation consultant and the Company uses market comparables to inform our approach.

•We undertook a shareholder outreach effort following last year's say on pay advisory vote.

•Leadership of our company is transitioning. We have a new CEO, Board Chair, and several new members of the Board. All feedback from the shareholder outreach will be considered by new leadership as we move forward.

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes our compensation program for 2020 and how it operates for our Named Executive Officers. Our Named Executive Officers for 2020 are:

Robert Shafir(1) Former Chief Executive Officer ('Former CEO')

Thomas Sipp(2) Former Chief Financial Officer

James Levin(3) Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer

Wayne Cohen President and Chief Operating Officer

David Levine Chief Legal Officer

(1) Mr. Shafir withdrew from the Sculptor Operating Group effective April 1, 2021.

(2) Mr. Sipp withdrew from the Sculptor Operating Group effective January 15, 2021. Dava Ritchea is our current Chief Financial Officer, effective January 11, 2021.

(3) Mr. Levin was our Chief Investment Officer ('CIO') for Fiscal Year 2020, and in addition assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer, effective April 1, 2021.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis places a greater focus on the compensation of our CIO, Mr. Levin, who has transitioned to CEO and CIO as of April 1, 2021. Compensation for Mr. Levin is more in-line with our forward looking pay practices and the compensation philosophy for our broader investment team. The Board and Mr. Levin intend to negotiate a new agreement that will address compensation for service in each role. With respect to service as CEO, we expect Mr Levin's agreement to include compensation-related metrics that are more traditional for a CEO, such as Class A Share performance, and will take into account the feedback we have received from our Class A Shareholders (described further below). With respect to service as CIO, we expect Mr. Levin's agreement to remain aligned with fund investors.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis has a more limited focus on the compensation structure for our Former CEO during 2020, who left the Company on April 1, 2021. The Former CEO's compensation structure was negotiated at the time he joined the Company in 2018 by different board members during a time where the Company faced significant headwinds.

2020 Performance and Highlights

We are committed to delivering long-term shareholder value for our Class A Shareholders. In 2020 management continued to focus its efforts on developing key drivers of shareholder value. In a year filled with challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, our executive managing directors and employees performed exceptionally well for both our fund investors and Class A Shareholders:

•We delivered strong earnings to our Class A Shareholders. Our economic income (non-GAAP) was $306.1 million for 2020, the highest since 2017, on the back of strong fund performance.

For additional information about non-GAAP measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable financial measures presented in accordance with GAAP, please see our annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, dated February 23, 2021 and our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, as amended, dated February 25, 2020.

•We delivered strong investment returns to our fund investors. Our flagship product, the Sculptor Master Fund, generated its strongest returns in over a decade. Performance in the Sculptor Master Fund was up 19.5% for 2020, comparing favorably to the MSCI World Index and HFRI, which were up 14.1% and 11.6% respectively, for the same period.

1. The annualized returns since inception are those of the Sculptor Multi-Strategy Composite, which represents the composite performance of all accounts that were managed in accordance with our broad multi-strategy mandate. Performance is calculated using the total return of all such accounts net of all investment fees and expenses of such accounts. The returns exclude Special Investments which are held by investors representing a small percentage of assets under management in the fund.

2. These comparisons show the returns of the MSCI World Index (GDDLWI) and the HFRI Fund Weighted Composite Index (HFRIFWI) (collectively, the 'Broader Market Indices') against the Sculptor Multi-Strategy Composite. These comparisons are intended solely for illustrative purposes to show a historical comparison of the Sculptor Multi-Strategy Composite to the broader equity markets, as represented by the Broader Market Indices, and should not be considered as an indication of how the Sculptor Master Fund or the feeder funds will perform relative to the Broader Market Indices in the future.

•We materially strengthened our balance sheet.We started the year with $445 million in obligations and ended January 2021 with $145 million, leaving us with the most stable and flexible capital structure since our IPO in 2007. We accomplishedthis through a combination of strong earnings and a refinancing transaction that allowed us to capture $62.3 million in discounts on prior obligations.

The table above presents principal outstanding of the debt obligations and par value and deferred dividends accrued on Preferred Units. The amounts shown exclude the non-recourse debt and repos used to finance our risk retention investments.

•We increased assets under management.We started the year with $34.5 billion assets under management and ended with $36.8 billion.We had one of the best fundraising efforts in five years in our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds, raising over a billion dollars of new capital into these funds. In addition, we held the final closing of our largest ever opportunistic real estate fund, Sculptor Real Estate IV, with almost $2.6 billion in commitments.

The table above is a summary of the annual total compensation for our Named Executive Officers. It is important to recognize that the way we present compensation for our Named Executive Officers in the table above is different from the SEC-required disclosure in the Summary Compensation Table below and is not a substitute for the information in that table. Rather, it is intended to reflect how the Compensation Committee, Board and management review total compensation for our Named Executive Officers. Please see 'Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Compensation Overview' below for detail and explanation on the table above.

In addition, as further described below, as part of the 2019 Recapitalization, active executive managing directors (including the Named Executive Officers) agreed to give up distributions on their Sculptor Operating Group Units during the Distribution Holiday. Assuming distributions would have been made on Sculptor Operating Group Units at the same per unit rate as our Q1-Q4 2019 and Q1-Q4 2020 dividends, (i) Mr. Levin gave up $5,520,291 and $10,378,148 in 2019 and 2020 respectively; (ii) Mr. Cohen gave up $1,168,795 and $2,197,335 in 2019 and 2020 respectively; (iii) Mr. Levine gave up $187,500 and $352,500 in 2019 and 2020 respectively and (iv) Mr. Sipp gave up $312,501 and $195,835 in 2019 and 2020 respectively. Mr. Shafir only had one Sculptor Operating Group Unit in 2019 and 2020.

Compensation Philosophy and Approach

The philosophy underlying our approach to compensation principally rests on the following five objectives:

1. Alignment.A key objective in setting compensation for our executive managing directors (including the Named Executive Officers) and employees is to align their interests with those of our two principal stakeholders: our Class A Shareholders and the investors in our funds:

(a) The majority of compensation paid to our Current CEO and CIO in 2020 is formulaic, not discretionary, and is based solely on the gross profit & loss of nearly all funds and assets managed by the Company. Since our CIO did not assume the role of CEO until April 1, 2021, compensation in respect of Fiscal Year 2020 was solely in respect of service as CIO.This directly aligns our Current CEO and CIO's compensation with the returns to fund investors, which also directly ties to earnings and distributions to Class A Shareholders through incentive fee income and management fees. The Board and Mr.

Levin intend to negotiate a new agreement that will address compensation for service as CEO and CIO. With respect to service as CEO, we expect Mr. Levin's agreement to include compensation-related metrics that are more traditional for a CEO, such as Class A Share performance, and will take into account the feedback we have received from our Class A Shareholders, as discussed below.

(b) Investment professionals are paid predominantly based on the profits & losses generated in their strategy, aligning them to fund investors and Class A Shareholders.

(c) A significant portion of compensation paid to our Former CEO during his term was equity-based, providing direct alignment with Class A Shareholders.

2. Pay for Performance.Compensation packages for our investment professionals, including our Current CEO and CIO and many executive managing directors, are tied directly to the performance of our funds, and therefore correlate highly to our earnings for the year. Such compensation packages are largely based on the profits generated by our funds. Additionally, as explained more fully below, all executive managing directors (including Named Executive Officers) have a portion of their compensation that is directly related to fund performance and equity appreciation.

For example, Mr. Levin's compensation in 2019 and 2020 is formulaic (a percentage of profits and losses generated by a list of funds attached to his Partner Agreement). The profits of our funds generate returns for our investors and revenue to our Class A Shareholders through incentive income. In addition, higher profits from our funds increase assets under management and generally should lead to additional inflows, each of which lead to higher management fees, which in turn leads to increased earnings for the Company and value to our Class A Shareholders. Mr. Levin's compensation metric therefore provides appropriate alignment to our Class A Shareholders and investors in our funds.

3. Retain Talent.As an alternative asset manager, our people are our most valuable asset.The investment acumen and skills of our professionals are in high demand.We need to pay competitively as compared to other hedge funds (including by paying minimum annual bonuses to certain executive managing directors) to secure our key people, particularly as industry peers regularly seek to hire fromother firms. We work closely with Semler Brossy, our external compensation consultant, and regularly assess our pay practices at all levels of the organization relative to our peers to ensure our compensation system is competitive.

4. Long-Term Commitment.Our compensation practices seek to incent long-term commitment from our executive managing directors, including our Named Executive Officers.We have accomplished this in several ways:

(a) We defer a material portion of each individual's annual bonus in the form of RSUs and Deferred Cash Interests ('DCIs'), which vest over a three-year period. If the individual resigns, the unvested portion is forfeited.

(b) As explained more fully below, in 2019 the Firm announced a Recapitalization transaction that involved former executive managing directors transferring 35% of their equity to active executive managing directors to better align the interests of active executive managing directors with public shareholders (the '2019 Recapitalization').This equity vests over five years, subject to certain exceptions, and is designed to bolster long-term commitment. In exchange for these equity grants, active executive managing directors agreed to up to a 20% compensation reduction. The equity reallocation and compensation reductions increase profitability to shareholders without any dilutive impact to share count and increase our compensation attributable to long-term vesting equity grants.

(c) To further bolster long-term commitment, as part of the 2019 Recapitalization, certain of our executive managing directors, including four Named Executive Officers, signed four-year partner agreements.

(d) All executive managing directors, including all Named Executive Officers, are subject to a non-competition covenant, restricting employment by competitors for a period of time. The usage of non-competition covenants is one of the tools used to reduce the risk of our competitors poaching our top talent.

It is essential to our client base that there be minimized turnover with respect to those key individuals managing their money. Investors in most of our funds have required certain key person provisions that are triggered upon the loss of services of one or more key investment professionals and could, upon the occurrence of such event, provide the investors in

the funds with certain rights such as early redemption rights (including by conversion to interests providing for more frequent liquidity). The loss of our key investment professionals could therefore have a material adverse impact on our business. Our compensation practices therefore seek to incent long-term commitment from our executive managing directors, including our Named Executive Officers

5. Ensure Appropriate Risk Mitigants.Our compensation program includes elements that discourage excessive risk-taking and that align the compensation of our executive managing directors with our long-term performance. These elements include forfeitures, clawbacks and stock retention requirements. As to forfeitures, by contract, if any executive managing director is terminated for cause, he/she loses all unvested deferred compensation. As to clawbacks, if our Former CEO were terminated for cause, he would lose certain vested awards and would be required to return all Class A shares received over the prior two years.If our Current CEO and CIO were terminated for cause, he would lose certain vested awards and would be required to return a material amount of previously awarded RSUs.If our President and COO were terminated for cause, he would lose certain vested awards.

As to stock retention requirements, our Former CEO was required to hold at least 50% of the after-tax portion of Class A shares delivered in respect of equity awards.Our CIO is required to hold at least 70% of the aggregate of 950,000 RSUs awarded in 2013 (post-tax) and 950,000 units also awarded in 2013.In addition, Group Units held by our executive managing directors are also subject to transfer restrictions and a minimum retained ownership requirement.

Compensation Process

At the beginning of 2020, the Former CEO set goals and objectives for each Named Executive Officer. Throughout the year, the Former CEO met with the Compensation Committee to discuss progress on these goals, and at the end of the year, the Compensation Committee undertook an annual performance evaluation with the Former CEO to determine whether to provide any additional compensation to these executives for fiscal year 2020 based on a combination of the Company's performance and the individual's achievement of goals and objectives . In addition, the Compensation Committee separately set out goals and objectives for our Former CEO and reviewed performance when determining our Former CEO's compensation for fiscal year 2020.

The Compensation Committee was also provided information concerning the Company's practices for compensating its other executive managing directors, managing directors and other employees. In general, our employee compensation programs are designed to meet our five compensation objectives described above, which enables us to attract and retain the most talented employees in our industry in keeping with our one-firm, team-based culture.

Components of our Core Annual Compensation Program

Our core annual compensation program consists of both fixed and variable compensation. The following forms of compensation are used to ensure we continue to align the interests of our employees and executive managing directors (including our Named Executive Officers) with those of our Class A Shareholders and those of the investors in our funds, while retaining key talent:

a.Base Salary/Draw - We generally pay base salaries in line with market compensation rates for each role within our organization. We work closely with compensation experts on determining market rates.

b.Cash Bonus - Cash bonuses are awarded to our executive managing directors (including our Named Executive Officers) and employees to compensate them for their individual and collective performance, and to ensure our ability to attract and retain top talent. Certain executive managing directors have minimum annual bonus amounts that were (i) negotiated in connection with a new hire, (ii) negotiated in connection with contracts signed as part of the 2019 Recapitalization, or (iii) otherwise negotiated in order to attract and retain key talent.

c.Deferred Cash Interests - We currently grant DCIs pursuant to the Sculptor Deferred Cash Interest Plan (the 'DCI Plan') as part of the annual bonus awarded to our executive managing directors (including our Named Executive Officers). We also grant DCIs pursuant to the Sculptor Deferred Cash Interest Plan for Employees (the 'Employee DCI Plan') as part of the annual bonus awarded to our managing directors. DCIs reflect notional fund investments made by the Sculptor Operating Group on behalf of an executive managing director or employee and are subject to

multi-year vesting conditions.DCIs align our executive managing directors' interests to those of our Class A Shareholders and fund investors by tying the ultimate value of the award to fund performance and promoting long-term retention through vesting requirements. For further details on the DCIs, please see 'Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs-Deferred Cash Interests' below.

d.Restricted Stock Units - We currently grant RSUs as part of the annual bonus awarded to our executive managing directors (including our Named Executive Officers) and managing directors. RSUs are granted pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan and are subject to vesting conditions. RSUs align our executive managing directors' interests to those of our Class A Shareholders by tying the ultimate value of the award to Class A Share performance and promoting long-term retention through vesting requirements. For further details on the RSUs, please see 'Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs-PSUs and RSUs' below.

e.Partner Incentive Pool - The Partner Incentive Pool is a formulaic compensatory arrangement designed to further align executive managing directors, including certain Named Executive Officers, to fund investors and Class A Shareholders. The pool is calculated based on the profits and losses of the funds that we manage. It pays out, in an aggregate range of 25 to 100 basis points, with the ultimate aggregate payout percentage determined by the CEO, subject to Compensation Committee approval, based on overall fund and Company performance for the year. In consultation with the Compensation Committee, the CEO allocates a fixed percentage of the pool to each eligible executive managing director and the Compensation Committee reviews and approves any allocation to a Named Executive Officer. The Company uses these ranges and allocations to align the Partner Incentive Pool's size and allocation to the Company's performance, as measured by the performance of its funds under management. The Partner Incentive Pool payout percentages for Fiscal years 2018, 2019 and 2020 are set forth below.For 2020, like 2019, a year in which exceptionally strong results were obtained as detailed in '2020 Performance and Highlights' above, the Board approved a payout ratio of 90 basis points. By contrast, in 2018, a year of less strong performance, the Board approved a payout ratio of 25 basis points.Our Former CEO, Current CEO and CIO, and CFO did not participate in the plan during 2020.For further details, please see 'Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs-Partner Incentive Pool' below.


Fiscal Year	2020	2019	2018
Partner Incentive Pool Payout Percentage	0.90	%	0.90	%	0.25	%

f.Transfer of Value to Company by the Active Executive Managing Directors resulting from the 2019 Recapitalization - As further described below, under the 2019 Recapitalization, certain active executive managing directors agreed to compensation reductions in an aggregate amount of approximately $19.8 million for 2019 and approximately $16.0 million for 2020, and all active executive managing directors gave up distributions on Sculptor Operating Group Units during the Distribution Holiday in an aggregate amount of approximately $15.3 million for 2019 and approximately $28.7 million for 2020 (assuming distributions would have been made on Sculptor Operating Group Units at the same per unit rate as our Q1-Q4 2019 and Q1-Q4 2020 dividends).

2019 Recapitalization

The 2019 Recapitalization has directly impacted our approach to compensation and brought significant benefit to Class A Shareholders.Key aspects are as follows:

•Senior Management Alignment and Cash Compensation Reductions. The 2019 Recapitalization corrected an equity misalignment between active executive managing directors and Class A shareholders, all at no cost or dilution to Class A shareholders.As noted above, former executive managing directors reallocated 35% of their Group A Units in each of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships to existing members of senior management in the form of Class E Units and for potential grants to new hires. The Class E Units related to this reallocation vest over a five-year period. In conjunction with such reallocation, certain members of senior management made long-term commitments to the Company and agreed to a 10-20% reduction in their annual compensation. The reallocation of Units materially

increased equity ownership for active executive managing directors solely through the reallocation from former executive managing directors (and not the Class A Shareholders), allowing active executive managing directors to be further aligned with our Class A Shareholders. In addition, vesting conditions imposed on the Class E Units helped ensure the stability and commitment of the Company's key senior investment professionals and senior leadership. Class A Shareholders have benefited as this resulted in aggregate cash compensation reductions to active executive managing directors of approximately $19.8 million for 2019 and approximately $16.0 million for 2020 paid for by equity grants that caused no dilution and provided greater alignment with active executive managing directors.

•Balance Sheet Enhancement.Active and former executive managing directors agreed to temporarily forego distributions on all of their common units in the Sculptor Operating Partnerships.In addition, during the Distribution Holiday, distribution equivalent units paid on RSUs held by certain executive managing directors (including all Named Executive Officers) are limited to $4.00 per RSU. However, the parties agreed that the Class A Shareholders would continue to receive distributions during the Distribution Holiday (generally, 20%-30% of distributable earnings per year). The Distribution Holiday will terminate on the earlier of (x) 45 days after the last day of the first calendar quarter as of which the achievement of $600 million of Distribution Holiday Economic Income (as defined in the Operating Group Limited Partnership Agreements) is realized and (y) April 1, 2026.The Distribution Holiday was designed to enable the Company to strengthen its balance sheet by paying down its debt and preferred securities, while continuing to pay Class A Shareholders a dividend.For Fiscal Year 2019 and 2020, active executive managing directors gave up approximately $15.3 million and $28.7 million of distributions, respectively (assuming distributions would have been made on Sculptor Operating Group Units at the same per unit rate as our Q1-Q4 2019 and Q1-Q4 2020 dividends). In addition, the Company amended the Tax Receivable Agreement to (i) provide that certain payments are no longer due to the recipients for tax years 2017 and 2018 (ii) reduce the percentage of tax savings required to be paid with respect to the 2019 tax year and thereafter from 85%-75%.These amendments further facilitated deleveraging of the Company's balance sheet.

In November 2020 we refinanced the preferred shares and subordinated debt outstanding at the time of the 2019 Recapitalization with a new term loan, allowing us to capture $62.3 million in discounts on the preferred shares and

subordinated debt. Through January 2021, the Company voluntarily prepaid an aggregate of $175.0 million of the 2020 term loan, leaving a balance of $145.0 million, which is due at maturity. For further information, please see 'Certain Agreements of the Registrant and the Sculptor Operating Group Entities' below.

Considerations with respect to our Market for Talent

We primarily compete with private, alternative asset managers including, among others, those listed in the table below. Our private hedge fund competitors largely operate open-ended vehicles with periodic incentive crystallizations, similar to our multi-strategy and credit funds, which contribute the largest portion of our fee revenue. Competition for talent in this industry is fierce, with high turnover, especially for investment professionals. Investors in most of our funds, and those of our competitors, have certain key person provisions that are triggered upon the loss of services of one or more key investment professionals and could, upon the occurrence of such event, provide the investors in the funds with certain rights such as early redemption rights. Accordingly, paying competitive compensation for our industry is vital for the long-term success of our business.

To this end, the Compensation Committee considers a survey of available information on pay practices of private hedge funds, and the input of the Compensation Committee's independent compensation consultant (Semler Brossy), when making decisions. CEOs and CIOs of our peers are typically compensated from bottom line equity distributions that are shared by a small partner group. The CEO/CIO is often the largest, if not majority owner. These asset managers have significant margins on both their management fee and incentive fee streams. Management fee cashflow is relatively stable for managers year-to-year creating a sizable minimum annual cashflow to equityholders, similar to the minimum compensation in our CIO's compensation structure. Incentive fees vary significantly with performance, creating volatility in the equity distributions from this fee stream, similar to the CIO payout formula in our compensation framework.

Our competitors do not trade on the public markets. Although there are a limited number of publicly-traded, alternative asset managers (Apollo, Ares, Blackstone, Carlyle and KKR), these are imperfect comparators, as many of these asset managers pay their talent via carried interest (as opposed to cash bonuses) due to the closed-end structure of their investment funds and products.

The table below includes a significant number of our competitors for talent. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers is competitive with the talent market that we compete in with consideration to the Company's size and performance.

2020 Stockholder Engagement Regarding Compensation Matters

The Company held an advisory 'say on pay' vote as part of our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.Approximately 68% of votes were cast in favor of our say on pay proposal.Following the annual meeting, the Company made an extensive shareholder engagement effort. Our Board and management team are committed to (i) enhancing our disclosure in this proxy statement with the goal of more clearly and concisely explaining our compensation program to our Class A Shareholders, (ii) engaging with Class A Shareholders and incorporating their feedback into our compensation planning and (iii) working with Semler Brossy to structure our compensation program in ways to further align our executive managing directors with Class A Shareholders and fund investors.Additional detail on these events, as well as planned future steps, is provided below.

2020 Say-on-Pay and Shareholder Engagement

Following the 2020 say on pay vote, we undertook an extensive effort, led by our then Chairman, to solicit feedback from shareholders on: (i) the design of our compensation program, and (ii) opportunities to improve the quality and clarity of the description of our compensation program.

In the Fall of 2020, we conducted an extensive stockholder outreach effort which included seeking feedback from 14 external stockholders that owned 1% or more of our Class A Shares, representing 43.8% of our Class A Shares issued and outstanding as of such time. Three of such stockholders, each a large institutional asset manager agreed to provide such feedback.Our then Chairman of the Board and Chief Legal Officer participated in each discussion.

We expressed to our shareholders that the Company values and gives serious consideration to the views of Institutional Shareholder Services, Inc. ('ISS'), Glass Lewis and other governance services. The Company clarified certain key points underpinning the ISS and Glass Lewis reports, which recommended an Against vote on the advisory vote to ratify Named Executive Officer compensation. In particular the Company clarified the following key points:

•We are being compared to an inapposite peer group. ISS compared us to 18 publicly traded financial services firms, including boutique investment banks.We do not view any as peers, as we compete with none for talent. Compensation designed to be in-line with these peers could lead to our inability to retain top talent and ultimately impact fund performance and shareholder value.The Company is principally a hedge fund manager, none of whom trade publicly and are therefore not available as ISS comparisons. Please see a list of our competitors in 'Considerations with respect to our Market for Talent' above.

•A material contributor to 2019 NEO compensation - E units - were reallocations of equity from former to active executive managing directors and were paid for through contractual compensation reductions, which reduced 2019 compensation. Stock Awards and total compensation were inflated in last year's Summary Compensation Table as a result of the inclusion of the grant date fair market value of this reallocation of equity under applicable accounting rules.

◦The reallocation process further aligned our active executive managing directors with Class A Shareholders by allocating ownership away from retired executive managing directors. This is a common process at private alternative asset managers, where various mechanisms are used from time-to-time to realign ownership to active management.

•The compensation of our executive managing directors is largely formulaic, and not overly discretionary. For example:

◦Mr. Levin's compensation in 2019 and 2020 is formulaic (a percentage of profits and losses generated by a list of funds attached to his Partner Agreement) as described above in 'Compensation Philosophy and Approach-Pay for Performance' above.

◦Mr. Shafir's compensation provides for minimal discretion.Mr. Shafir was primarily compensated through an annual RSU award of $5 million, base salary of $2 million, a guaranteed bonus of $2 million and ongoing vesting of 1,000,000 sign-on RSUs.He also was awarded 1,000,000 sign-on performance-stock units, which must meet both service-based and performance-based conditions.Mr. Shafir received an annual discretionary bonus of up to $2 million, but this is the only discretionary portion of his compensation.We believe the issues raised by ISS with respect to Mr. Shafir's compensation are largely based off of a use of inapposite peers.

•Minimum annual compensation is currently necessary to retain talent - while some of our competitors are able to pay minimum annual compensation more organically (through large equity ownership by founders and large net

management fees distributions), we currently are not making distributions to our active executive managing directors, pursuant to the Distribution Holiday. As described in this Proxy Statement, we need to pay competitively as compared to other hedge funds to secure our key people, and therefore minimum annual compensation is, in certain circumstances, necessary to retain key talent.

We received helpful guidance and insight from our Class A Shareholders. For example:

•Class A Shareholders suggested the Company include more fulsome disclosure regarding the 2019 Recapitalization, compensation philosophy, proper peer group and the role of Compensation Committee in compensation of our Named Executive Officers in the proxy statement.

•Class A Shareholders suggested that a portion of deferred compensation be paid in performance stock units (which include performance-based vesting tied to metrics such as stock price appreciation or growth in assets under management).

•Class A Shareholders suggested the Company include broader clawback policies in contracts with executive managing directors.

•Class A Shareholders suggested the Company consider whether guaranteed minimum compensation awards are necessary, and if so, at what levels.

The Board of Directors, under the leadership of our new Chair Marcy Engel, seated in that role since February 2021, and the Compensation Committee are carefully considering the feedback and the results of the say-on-pay vote at our 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.Each of the areas raised in the shareholder outreach are under consideration.The Compensation Committee, in regular consultation with our external compensation consultant and management, plan to continue to engage in productive discussions with ISS. We are committed to being responsive to our shareholders and maintaining a compensation program that is properly aligned with the best interest of our Class A Shareholders and fund investors. For example, the Board and Mr. Levin intend to negotiate a new agreement that will address compensation for service as CEO and CIO. With respect to service as CEO, we expect Mr. Levin's agreement to include compensation-related metrics that are more traditional for a CEO, such as Class A Share performance, and will take into account the feedback we have received from our Class A Shareholders. With respect to service as CIO, we expect Mr. Levin's agreement to remain aligned with fund investors.

With respect to our Class A Shareholders' concerns regarding disclosure, we believe we have made significant enhancements to our disclosure in this proxy statement with the goal of more clearly and concisely explaining our compensatory program to our shareholders and why it is aligned with their best interests and the interests of the investors in our funds.

Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs

We believe that ownership of substantial interests in the Sculptor Operating Group by our executive managing directors, including the Named Executive Officers, together with RSUs and DCIs held by them, creates significant alignment with our Class A Shareholders and investors in our funds and strengthens our culture of teamwork and collaboration. In line with that philosophy, we sponsor several equity and equity-based incentive plans for our executive managing directors, including our Named Executive Officers, as further described below. The terms of the various interests in the Sculptor Operating Group entities that are and may be held by our Named Executive Officers are set forth in the Operating Group Limited Partnership Agreements and the Named Executive Officers' individual partner agreements, the terms of the RSUs that are or may be held by our Named Executive Officers are set forth in the 2013 Incentive Plan and the individual award agreements and the terms of the DCIs that are or may be held by our Named Executive Officers are set forth in the DCI Plan.

Deferred Cash Interests ('DCIs')

On February 27, 2017, the Board approved the DCI Plan, pursuant to which DCIs may be granted. DCIs reflect notional fund investments made by the Sculptor Operating Group on behalf of an executive managing director. Under the

terms of the DCI Plan, unless otherwise provided for in an award agreement, DCIs vest in three equal portions over three (3) years commencing on January 1st of the calendar year following the applicable grant date, subject to an executive managing director's continued service. Upon vesting, the Sculptor Operating Group pays the executive managing director an amount in cash equal to the notional investment represented by the DCIs, as adjusted for notional fund performance. Under the DCI Plan, except as otherwise provided in an award agreement or partner agreement, in the event of a termination of the executive managing director's service, any portion of the DCIs that is unvested as of the date of termination will be forfeited.

Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive DCIs as a component of their respective annual bonuses pursuant to their respective partner agreements and Omnibus Agreements, discussed further in 'Partner Agreements' below. DCIs align our executive managing directors interest to those of our Class A Shareholders and fund investors by tying the ultimate value of the award to fund performance and promoting long-term retention through vesting requirements.

In 2021, our Named Executive Officers received the following grants of DCIs in respect of their 2020 annual bonuses: Mr. Shafir, $1,425,000; Mr. Sipp, $148,909; Mr. Levin, $10,764,104; Mr. Cohen, $591,000; and Mr. Levine, $418,500.

PSUs and RSUs

In 2018, we granted to Mr. Shafir Class A performance-based RSUs ('PSUs') in connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan. In general, PSUs entitle the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of the requisite service period, as well as satisfying certain performance conditions based on achievement of targeted total shareholder return on Class A Shares. PSUs do not begin to accrue dividend equivalents until the requisite service period has been completed and performance conditions have been achieved. We did not grant any PSUs in 2020. PSUs align the interests of active executive managing directors to Class A Shareholders by including both service-based and performance-based vesting conditions.

We have granted RSUs as a form of compensation to certain executive managing directors pursuant to the 2013 Incentive Plan. An RSU entitles the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of the requisite service period. RSUs held by our executive managing directors granted as part of their annual bonus generally vest on January 1st of the three subsequent years following the grant date. All of the RSUs granted to date accrue dividend equivalents equal to the dividend amounts paid on our Class A Shares. To date, these dividend equivalents have been awarded in the form of additional RSUs that also accrue additional dividend equivalents. During the Distribution Holiday, dividend equivalents paid on RSUs held by the Named Executive Officers are limited to $4.00 per RSU. Delivery of dividend equivalents on outstanding RSUs is contingent upon the vesting of the underlying RSUs. RSUs align our executive managing directors' interests to those of our Class A Shareholders by tying the ultimate value of the award to Class A Share performance and promoting long-term retention through vesting requirements.

All RSUs held by our Named Executive Officers became subject to the Distribution Holiday, as described above.

In 2020, each of our Named Executive Officers (other than Mr. Shafir) received grants of RSUs in respect of their 2019 bonuses, as described in 'Compensation Committee Report-2020 Grants of Plan-Based Awards' below. Mr. Shafir also received a grant of 215,946 RSUs (with a value of approximately $5 million) in connection with his third annual grant of RSUs pursuant to the Shafir Agreements.

Compensation Committee and Compensation Consultants

The Compensation Committee has the power and authority to oversee our compensation policies and programs and makes all compensation related decisions relating to our Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The Compensation Committee reviews the charter on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee's membership is determined by the Board. The Compensation Committee's members are all independent directors under the rules of the NYSE.

Pursuant to its charter, the Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain, terminate, obtain advice from, oversee and compensate its outside advisors, including its compensation consultant. The Company has provided appropriate funding to the Compensation Committee to do so.

In 2020, the Compensation Committee again retained Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC ('Semler Brossy') as a third-party advisor to provide independent advice, research and evaluation in connection with (i) the Compensation Committee's response to the 2020 Say on Pay vote, (ii) the compensation of each of our Named Executive Officers, and (iii) the preparation of this CD&A.

In 2020, Semler Brossy reported directly to the Compensation Committee. Semler Brossy did not provide services to the Company other than as described in the prior paragraph. Specifically, Semler Brossy did not provide, directly or indirectly through affiliates, any other consulting services to management or the Board. The Compensation Committee conducted a specific review of its relationship with Semler Brossy, and determined that Semler Brossy's work for the Compensation Committee did not raise any conflicts of interest, consistent with the guidance provided under the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, by the SEC and by the NYSE. The Compensation Committee continues to monitor the independence of its compensation consultant on a periodic basis.

Shareholder Vote on Named Executive Officer Compensation

At our 2020 annual meeting of shareholders, our shareholders voted to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation every three (3) years. Consistent with that vote, the Board resolved to accept the shareholders' recommendation, and will next hold an advisory vote on executive compensation at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.

Partner Agreements

In furtherance of our long-term philosophy of seeking to align the interests of our executive managing directors with those of the investors in our funds and our Class A Shareholders and to attract and retain talent, the Sculptor Operating Group entities have entered into partner agreements with certain of our executive managing directors. We have entered into partner agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers which provide for certain advances, guaranteed payments and equity grants, as described further below.

Levin Agreements

General. On February 16, 2018, each of the Sculptor Operating Group entities entered into a partner agreement with Mr. Levin (the '2018 Levin Partner Agreements') in order to more closely align Mr. Levin's potential compensation with his then current role and responsibilities as Co-Chief Investment Officer and importantly strongly align his economic interests with our clients. The 2018 Levin Partner Agreements were subsequently amended in connection with the 2019 Recapitalization by an omnibus agreement between Mr. Levin and each of the Operating Partnerships on February 7, 2019 (the 'Levin Omnibus Agreement', which is effective as of the Recapitalization Closing). On June 9, 2020, Mr. Levin was appointed as the Company's next CEO effective April 1, 2021 pursuant to the Amendment to the Partner Agreements between the Sculptor Operating Group entities and Mr. Levin entered into as of June 9, 2020 (the 'First Levin Partner Agreement Amendment'). On January 29, 2021, Mr. Levin entered into a second amendment to the Partner Agreements between the Sculptor Operating Group entities and Mr. Levin, changing the RSU/DCI percentages of Mr. Levin's total annual compensation for Fiscal Year 2020 from 15%/15% to 7.5%/22.5% (the 'Second Levin Partner Agreement Amendment, and together with the 2018 Levin Partner Agreements, the Levin Omnibus Agreement and the First Levin Partner Agreement Amendment, the 'Levin Agreements').

CEO. Mr. Levin was appointed as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of the Company effective April 1, 2021. In recognition of this new role Mr. Levin's compensation package will be reevaluated by the newly comprised Board of the Directors, taking into account feedback from our Class A Shareholders. The Board of Directors will work with Mr. Levin in good faith to negotiate and enter into an agreement regarding additional compensation for his services as CEO in recognition of the added responsibilities he is assuming and to further align Mr. Levin with the interests of our fund investors and Class A Shareholders (the 'Levin CEO Agreement').

Compensation. Mr. Levin is entitled to $4,000,000 in cash annually (the 'Annual Draw') during the term. The Annual Draw is distributed in advance on a quarterly basis and is treated as a non-refundable credit against the annual bonus (as defined below) that Mr. Levin may receive in respect of such fiscal year. The annual bonus is calculated as the product of (i) the gross profit and loss for such fiscal year based on the performance of certain specified Sculptor funds and (ii) the Participation Ratio (as defined in the Levin Agreements) for such fiscal year, subject to a high water mark adjustment. The Participation Ratio in respect of the 2020 annual bonus was 1.75%. The minimum annual bonus for the 2020 fiscal year was $10,000,000 inclusive of the Annual Draw. The annual bonus (including the Annual Draw) for the 2020 fiscal year was paid consistent with the following percentages: 70% in cash, 7.5% in RSUs under the 2013 Incentive Plan (such RSUs, the 'Bonus Equity'), and 22.5% in DCIs. The Bonus Equity and DCIs generally vest over three (3) years from the time of grant, subject to various exceptions. In the event Mr. Levin is terminated or resigns, then all or a portion of these RSUs and DCIs may be forfeited in accordance with the terms of the Levin Agreements.

Mr. Levin's annual bonus is formulaic, not discretionary, and is based solely on the gross profit & loss of nearly all funds and assets managed by the Company, including the Sculptor Master Fund. This directly aligns Mr. Levin's compensation with the returns to fund investors, which also directly ties to the interests of Class A Shareholders.

For the 2020 fiscal year, Mr. Levin received an Annual Draw of $4,000,000 and annual bonus of $43,840,462: (i) $29,488,323 paid in cash, (ii) $10,764,104 in DCIs that vest in in three installments on January 1, 2022, January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024 and (iii) 240,808 RSUs, granted January 31, 2021, that vest in three installments on January 1, 2022, January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the total annual amount of compensation payable to Mr. Cohen for any fiscal year, inclusive of his annual draw, is reduced by 10% from the total annual amount of compensation that would otherwise be payable in respect of such fiscal year; provided, that such reduction will apply to the amount of the annual bonus (and will not reduce the annual draw) for such fiscal year.

◦Upon a withdrawal for any reason other than without cause, the non-compete period is (i) twenty-four (24) months if the withdrawal occurs any time prior to December 31, 2021, or (ii) 12 months if the withdrawal occurs on or after December 31, 2021, except that, (A) if a Trigger Event (as defined below) occurs on or prior to December 31, 2019, then the non-compete period is (x) twenty-four (24) months if the withdrawal occurs prior to January 1, 2020, or (y) twelve (12) months if the withdrawal occurs on or after January 1, 2020; or (B) if a Trigger Event occurs on or after January 1, 2020 and prior to December 31, 2021, then the non-compete period is twelve (12) months. A 'Trigger Event' means a breach of any of the terms in the sections labeled 'Class B Shareholder Committee,' 'DSO Continuing Role,' and the second bullet of the section labeled 'DSO Titles' of the Governance Agreement by and among Daniel S. Och and certain Sculptor entities, dated February 5, 2018 (as such terms are memorialized in the Governance Agreement, dated as of February 7, 2019).

◦The non-compete period is twelve (12) months if Mr. Levin experiences a withdrawal due to his resignation following a Change in Position, unless for a withdrawal on or prior to December 31, 2021 the General Partner elects to make a $30,000,000 payment to Mr. Levin in exchange for a 24 month non-compete period.

◦The non-competition covenant contained in the Levin Omnibus Agreement will be modified as of the effective date of the Levin CEO Agreement so that Mr. Levin shall be prohibited from competing with the Company or soliciting the Company's fund investors or employees for a two-year period upon Mr. Levin's withdrawal from the Sculptor Operating Group for any reason; provided however, that the non-compete shall be reduced to one (1) year upon Mr. Levin's withdrawal from the Sculptor Operating Group as a result of (x) the termination of Mr. Levin without cause or (y) a resignation following (A) a Change of Control in which his role as CEO (or the Levin Agreements) is not continued, or (B) a Change in Position (as defined in the Levin Agreements), unless, in either case, the Sculptor Operating Group elects to make a $30,000,000 payment to Mr. Levin payable in installments over a 24-month period.

Non-Solicitation and Non-Interference Restrictions

Generally, during the term of service of each Named Executive Officer and during the Restricted Period, no Named Executive Officer may, directly or indirectly, in any manner solicit any of our owners, members, directors, officers or employees to terminate or diminish their relationship or service with us, or hire any person who was employed by us or was one of our owners, members, directors, officers or employees as of the date of such Named Executive Officer's termination or whose service or relationship with us terminated within two (2) years prior to or after the date of such Named Executive Officer's termination. Additionally, in general, no Named Executive Officer may solicit, or encourage ceasing to work with us, any consultant, agent or adviser who the individual knows or should know is under contract with us.

In addition, generally during the term of service of each Named Executive Officer and during the Restricted Period, such Named Executive Officer may not, directly or indirectly, in any manner solicit or induce any of our current, former or prospective investors, financing sources, capital market intermediaries or consultants to terminate (or diminish in any material respect) his or its relationship with us for the purpose of associating with any competing business, or otherwise encourage such investors, financing sources, capital market intermediaries or consultants to terminate (or diminish in any respect) his or its relationship with us for any other reason.

Other Covenants and Provisions

Non-Disparagement. During the term of service of each Named Executive Officer, and at all times following the termination of the Named Executive Officer's service, the Named Executive Officer is prohibited from disparaging us in any way or making any defamatory comments regarding us.

Restricted Period. For purposes of the foregoing covenants, except as described above or herein, the 'Restricted Period' for each of our Named Executive Officers generally means the two-year period immediately following the date of termination of his association with us for any reason.

Intellectual Property. Each Named Executive Officer is subject to customary intellectual property covenants with respect to works created, invented, designed or developed by such individual that are relevant to or implicated by the Named Executive Officer's service with us.

Other Provisions. In the case of any breach of the non-competition (or, for Mr. Levin, the non-solicitation) provisions described above by Named Executive Officer, all of such Named Executive Officer's vested and unvested Group Units and any Class A Shares issued upon exchange of Group A Units, will be reallocated to the remaining active executive managing directors. In addition, in the case of any breach of the non-competition provisions described above by a Named Executive Officer, the Named Executive Officer will be required to pay us an amount equal to the total after-tax proceeds received from the sale of any Class A Shares, and any distributions thereon, issued upon exchange of Group A Units during the two-year period prior to the date of such breach, along with the after-tax portion of any performance cash awards conditionally granted to our Named Executive Officer under the Partner Incentive Pool in respect of the two-year period prior to the date of such breach. In addition, such breaching Named Executive Officer will no longer be entitled to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement we executed with our executive managing directors and the Ziffs in

connection with our IPO. We may elect to waive enforcement of any or all of the foregoing consequences in our sole discretion.

Compensation Overview

The table below sets forth information regarding 2020, 2019 and 2018 compensation for each of our Named Executive Officers, presenting for each (i) salary, cash bonus and deferred bonus for the service year with respect to which they were earned, (ii) cash distributions on any Group D Units or Group E Units (an interest granted with the intent of eventually converting into Group A Units) received by the Named Executive Officer in the relevant year, (iii) special long-term awards granted in a prior year but realized in the current year (see the column entitled 'Special Long-Term Awards - Value at Realization' in the table below) and (iv) other benefits received by the Named Executive Officer, such as medical insurance and estate and tax preparation and planning services provided to our executive managing directors.

We believe the table below is helpful to our shareholders in understanding how management views the total annual compensation of our Named Executive Officers in a given year. The compensation table below makes the following adjustments to the SEC-required Summary Compensation Table: (i) annual bonus compensation (including RSUs and deferred cash interests) is included as compensation in the year for which it is earned rather than the year of grant or vesting, which may differ due to the timing of our fiscal year end or for other reasons; (ii) special long-term awards are valued and included as compensation at the time of realization because certain Units are subject to conditions that must be satisfied before being awarded; and (iii) special long-term awards, in certain cases, are reduced because such awards were granted in connection with the forfeiture of other previously granted awards.

The SEC-required Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement requires disclosure of equity-based grants related to annual bonus awards in the year they were granted, even if they were awarded in respect of a prior year's service. For example, the 2020 annual bonus RSU awards, while earned in respect of services provided in 2020, are granted in early 2021, and therefore will be reported in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table. We believe including equity awards related to annual bonuses in the year the services are performed provides a more meaningful view of our Named Executive Officers' compensation for a given year. In addition, the SEC required Summary Compensation Table requires compensation associated with the portion of the annual bonuses in the form of deferred cash interests awarded under our DCI Plan to be taken into account in the year cash is received, whereas we view the year of service as the more appropriate time to report such compensation.

The SEC-required Summary Compensation Table also requires the inclusion of special long-term awards (including grants that may never realize value as such grant may be subject to vesting and performance conditions), which includes Group E Units, Group P Units, PSUs, and sign-on RSUs, to be based on the grant date fair value in the year awarded. However, we believe the value received at realization following satisfaction of certain conditions provides a more meaningful view of our Named Executive Officers' compensation for a given year.

The difference between the table below and the SEC-required 'Summary Compensation Table for 2020' is approximately $24 million in the aggregate for all of our Named Executive Officers for 2020. The higher amount in the table below is primarily driven by the net impact of (a) including special long-term awards (including Sign-On RSUs) at the time of realization rather than the time of grant; and (b) including RSUs and deferred cash interests awarded in respect of annual bonuses in the year of service rather than in the year of grant or vesting.

The presentation below reflects how our Compensation Committee and management view the annual total compensation for our Named Executive Officers and we believe is more reflective of year-over-year changes to the compensation of our Named Executive Officers. It is important to recognize that the way we present compensation for our Named Executive Officers in the table below is different from the SEC-required disclosure in the Summary Compensation Table and is not a substitute for the information in that table. Rather, it is intended to show how we review total compensation for our Named Executive Officers across different periods.

Shafir, Sipp, Levin, Cohen and Levine pursuant to their respective partner agreements (including any quarterly advances taken on such bonuses); (ii) with respect to each of Messrs. Cohen and Levine, amounts paid in respect of 2020 under the Partner Incentive Pool and (iii) with respect to each of Messrs.

For further information concerning the respective Partner Agreements, see '-Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Partner Agreements' above. For further information concerning the Partner Incentive Pool, see '-Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs-Partner Incentive Pool' above.

The dollar amounts in the 'Bonus' column for 2020 do not reflect the portion of the 2020 annual bonuses payable to each of Messrs. Shafir, Sipp, Levin, Cohen and Levine in the amount of $1,425,000, $148,909, $10,764,104,

These amounts will be included in the Summary Compensation Table in the year that the DCIs are paid to the Named Executive Officer. For additional information regarding the DCIs, please see '-Compensation Discussion and Analysis-Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs-Deferred Cash Interests' above.

(2)The dollar amounts in the 'Stock Awards' column do not reflect the value actually received by the Named Executive Officers, but instead represent the aggregate grant date fair value of equity calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board ('FASB') Accounting Standards Codification ('ASC') Topic 718, Stock Compensation ('ASC Topic 718'), disregarding the effect of estimated forfeitures. More information regarding the 2020 stock awards is shown in the '2020 Grants of Plan-Based Awards' table below. Also, see Note 13 to the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information concerning the assumptions underlying our ASC Topic 718 calculations for equity awards.

(3)Because the RSUs awarded to our Named Executive Officers in respect of their 2020 annual bonuses were granted in 2021, SEC disclosure rules do not require that they be reflected in the 'Summary Compensation Table' or the 'Grants of Plan-Based Awards' table below for fiscal year end 2020.

(11)With respect to Mr. Levin, the amount shown in the 'Stock Awards' column for 2018 represents the grant date fair value of the grant of 1,340,000 RSUs under the 2013 Plan pursuant to the 2018 Levin Partner Agreements under which Mr. Levin also forfeited his entire grant of 3,900,000 Group D Units that was previously made to him in 2017.

(12)With respect to Mr. Cohen, the amount shown in the 'Stock Awards' column for 2020 represents the grant date fair value of $350,740 representing the grant of RSUs in respect of Mr. Cohen's 2019 annual bonus, which were granted on January 31, 2020.

(13)With respect to Mr. Cohen, the amount shown in the 'Stock Awards' column for 2019 represents the grant date fair value of the following grants: (i) $97,080 representing the grant of RSUs in respect of Mr. Cohen's 2018 annual

bonus, which were granted on February 20, 2019; and (ii) $3,254,082 representing the Group E-2 Units issued in connection with the conversion of the Group D Units in the Recapitalization. The 324,232 E-1 Units issued to Mr. Cohen in connection with the Recapitalization, which was non-dilutive to Class A Shareholder, are treated as a modification of an existing grant and do not have incremental fair value.

(14)With respect to Mr. Levine, the amount shown in the 'Stock Awards' column for 2020 represents the grant date fair value of $372,787 representing the grant of RSUs in respect of Mr. Levine's 2019 annual bonus, which were granted on January 31, 2020.

(16)The 'Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation' column for 2018 represents compensation expense recognized with respect to Group D Units, which are non-equity profits interests in the Sculptor Operating Group entities. These Units receive cash distributions equal in amount to, and at the same time as, distributions paid with respect to Group A Units, corresponding to the timing of the dividends paid to holders of our Class A Shares. Thus, the distribution occurs in the following quarter from when the compensation expense is recognized. There were no Group D Units outstanding in 2020 or 2019 as all Group D Units were converted into Group E-2 Units in connection with the Recapitalization.

(1)These dollar amounts do not represent the value of compensation actually received in 2020. Instead, the amounts reflect the grant date fair value of the equity awards granted. The fair value of the awards in each case was computed in accordance with ASC Topic 718, disregarding the effect of estimated forfeitures. See Note 13 to the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information concerning the assumptions underlying our ASC Topic 718 calculations for equity awards. For RSU awards, the grant date fair value was calculated by multiplying the closing price of the underlying Class A Shares on the last business day prior to the date of grant by the number of RSUs granted.

(2)The amount shown represents the grant of RSUs (i) to Mr. Shafir in respect of his 2020 annual RSU award and (ii) to Mr. Sipp, Mr. Levin, Mr. Cohen and Mr. Levine in respect of their 2019 annual bonuses.

Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End 2020

The following table summarizes the equity awards made to our Named Executive Officers that were outstanding and had not vested as of December 31, 2020. The dollar amounts shown in the table below do not reflect the value of compensation actually received by the Named Executive Officers, but instead are calculated by multiplying the number of unvested equity units held by the Named Executive Officers by the closing price of $15.20 per Class A Share on December 31, 2020 (and based on a third-party valuation on December 31, 2020 for unvested Group E-1 and E-2 Units).

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Our Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive the following cash payments upon his or her termination or a change of control of the Company, assuming that the triggering event took place on December 31, 2020. For a description of the vesting and the forfeiture conditions applicable to the Group Units held by the Named Executive Officers, please refer to '-Executive Officer Incentive Compensation Programs-Incentive Units.'

Mr. Shafir. If on December 31, 2020, Mr. Shafir had been subject to a withdrawal without cause, then, subject to his execution of a general release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Shafir Agreements, Mr.

Shafir would have been entitled to receive a lump-sum cash severance payment in an amount equal to $11,750,000, which represents the sum of (i) the lower of (x) his base salary and maximum annual bonus, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months remaining before the scheduled expiration of his Term and the denominator of which is 24, and (y) $18,000,000 and (ii) his minimum annual bonus for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, Mr. Shafir's outstanding equity awards would be treated as follows: (A) (i) the next two installments of the Shafir Sign-On RSUs would become vested on the termination date (or, for a qualifying termination in connection with a Change in Control, the later of the termination date and the date of the Change in Control), and in addition, to the extent unvested following application of the previous clause, a portion of an additional installment of Shafir Sign-On RSUs, pro-rated for the year of the employment term in which the termination occurs through the termination date, would also become vested as of such date (and the remaining unvested Shafir Sign-On RSUs, if any, would be forfeited on such date); and (ii) the next two installments of the Shafir Annual RSUs would become vested as of the termination date (or, for a qualifying termination in connection with a Change in Control, the later of the termination date and the date of the Change in Control) and the remaining unvested Shafir Annual RSUs, if any, would be forfeited on such date; and (B) the PSUs Service Condition with respect to the Sign-On PSUs would be waived and Mr. Shafir would conditionally retain any remaining Sign-On PSUs for a period of up to twenty-four (24) months following the termination date, at which time any such Sign-On PSUs that have not satisfied the PSUs Performance Condition would be forfeited. In addition, any unvested DCIs granted in respect of Mr. Shafir's annual bonus will remain outstanding and continue to vest on the applicable vesting date (or if Mr. Shafir were terminated without cause within twelve (12) months of a Change of Control, then the DCIs would fully vest). On December 31, 2020, those Shafir Sign-On RSUs, the Shafir Annual RSUs and the annual bonus DCIs that would be subject to such continued or accelerated vesting (inclusive of dividend equivalents accrued thereon) had a market value of $19,435,615, while the Sign-On PSUs had a market value of $3,040,000.

On December 31, 2020, those 2013 RSUs, Bonus Equity and DCIs (inclusive of dividend equivalents accrued on any such RSUs) that would be subject to such continued or accelerated vesting had a market value of $14,651,016. In addition, pursuant to the Levin Agreements, the Sculptor Operating Group entities may elect to make a $30,000,000 payment to Mr. Levin payable in installments over a 24-month period in exchange for an increase in the duration of his non-compete period to two (2) years (from one (1) year) following the date of his withdrawal.

Mr. Levine.

Mr. Levine's annual bonus will remain outstanding and continue to vest on the applicable vesting date (or if Mr. Levine were terminated without cause within 12 months following any Change in Control, the RSUs and DCIs would fully vest), in each case, subject to Mr. Levine's execution of a general release of claims and compliance with the restrictive covenants set forth in the Levine Agreements. On December 31, 2020, these RSUs (inclusive of dividend equivalents accrued thereon) and DCIs had a market value of $1,929,248.

Chief Executive Officer Compensation and Median Employee Compensation

In 2015, pursuant to a mandate of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the SEC adopted a rule requiring annual disclosure of the ratio of our median employee's annual total compensation to the annual total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer.

Our median employee's 2020 annual total compensation was $255,106. Our Chief Executive Officer's 2020 annual total compensation, as reported in the Summary Compensation Table above, was $10,145,682. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total combined compensation of Mr. Shafir to the annual total compensation of our median employee for 2020 was estimated to be 40 to 1.

Our Chief Executive Officer pay ratio information is a reasonable good faith estimate calculated in a manner consistent with the SEC pay ratio rules and methods for disclosure. We identified our median employee by examining the 2020 total compensation consisting of base salary (including overtime pay), annual cash bonus amounts and deferred compensation (reflecting the compensation granted in the form of equity awards and deferred fund interests), in each case, earned or awarded in respect of services performed in 2020 for our global employee population, excluding our Chief Executive Officer, as of December 31, 2020. We included all of our employees, whether employed on a full-time, temporary or part-time basis. We did not make any assumptions, adjustments (including cost-of-living adjustments) or use any estimates in determining total compensation. After identifying the median employee based on total compensation, we calculated the annual total compensation for such employee using the same methodology we use for our named executive officers as required to be set forth in the Summary Compensation Table included in this proxy statement.

Director Compensation

Director compensation is set by the Board based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation of the independent directors in light of current industry conditions and compensation practices.

Upon initial election to the Board, an independent director generally receives a prorated portion of the annual compensation the incumbent independent directors are entitled to receive. Incumbent independent directors receive annual equity-based and cash compensation. At the beginning of each year, each incumbent independent director receives a grant of RSUs with a value of $125,000 and the Chairperson of the Board receives an additional grant of RSUs with a value of $65,000. The RSUs vest on the first anniversary of the date of grant. With respect to each vested RSU, the independent director receives one Class A Share on or before the third business day following the independent director's departure from our Board of Directors.

An annual cash retainer of $95,000 is paid in quarterly installments to each incumbent independent director. In addition, our Chairperson of the Board and the chairs of the committees of our Board receive additional annual cash retainers as follows: the Chairperson of the Board receives $45,000, the chairs of the Audit Committee and Committee on Corporate Responsibility and Compliance receive $20,000 and the chairs of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee and the Compensation Committee each receive $10,000. A lead independent director, if the Board determines a lead independent director is necessary, also receives an additional annual cash retainer of $20,000.

Directors who are members of management (including Mr. Levin and Mr. Cohen, who are Named Executive Officers) do not receive any compensation with respect to their services as a director. All directors are reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board.

The following table sets forth the total cash and equity-based compensation paid to our independent directors for their service on the Board and its committees during 2020:


Name	Fees Earned or Paid in Cash($)(1)	Stock Awards ($)(2)	Total($)
Allan Bufferd	52,500	148,182	200,682
Marcy Engel	115,000	142,229	257,229
Michael Fascitelli	95,000	142,229	237,229
Richard G. Ketchum	155,000	211,183	366,183
Georganne C. Proctor	115,000	148,135	263,135
J. Morgan Rutman	95,000	136,040	231,040

(1)Amounts in this column include all cash retainers and fees for committee assignments and meetings paid to our non-employee directors in 2020.

(2)The dollar amounts in this table do not reflect cash or other compensation actually received by the independent directors, but instead represent the aggregate grant-date fair value of RSU awards calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. See Note 13 to the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for further information concerning the assumptions underlying our ASC Topic 718 calculations for RSUs. Each director who was a director as of January 2, 2020 received a grant of 5,864 RSUs on January 2, 2020. To the extent that an independent director on our Board has received Class A Shares related to vested RSUs granted prior to December 31, 2011, we have established minimum Class A Share ownership requirements such that each independent director must hold 50% of the Class A Shares received after vesting of any grant of RSUs (or other equity awards) at all times, without regard to any dispositions. With respect to each vested RSU which was granted after December 31, 2011, the director shall receive one Class A Share on or before the third business day following the director's departure from the Board of Directors. As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate number of RSUs, including dividend equivalent units granted thereon, held by each independent director was as follows: 24,430 for Ms. Engel; 27,513 for Mr. Ketchum; 35,936 for Ms. Proctor; and 12,503 for Mr. Rutman.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table summarizes the securities authorized for issuance under the Company's equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2020:

Equity Compensation Plans Not Approved by Shareholders	-	-
Total	20,844,397	9,241,058

(1)Represents RSUs and Group E Units. Because the RSUs and Group E Units each have no exercise price, the weighted-average exercise price calculation is zero.

(2)On January 1, 2021, in accordance with the terms of the 2013 Incentive Plan, the number of Class A Shares that may be issued pursuant to awards under the 2013 Incentive Plan was increased by a number of Class A Shares equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the increase, if any, in the number of outstanding Class A Shares from the number of outstanding Class A Shares on January 1, 2020 (calculated assuming the exchange of all Group Units other than those comprised of Group B Units for Class A Shares). The number of Class A Shares reserved under the 2013 Incentive Plan is also subject to adjustment in the event of a share split, share dividend, or other change in our capitalization. Generally, awards that are forfeited or canceled under the 2013 Incentive Plan will be available for future grants under the plan.

CERTAIN MATTERS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS

A number of organizational documents and agreements set forth our internal capital, organizational and governance structures, including the terms of interests in the Sculptor Operating Group owned by our executive managing directors, payments due to our executive managing directors pursuant to those interests and other contractual rights. These documents and agreements include the Limited Partnership Agreements of the Sculptor Operating Group entities, the Class A Unit Exchange Agreement, the Class P Unit Exchange Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreements, the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Expense Allocation Agreement, the Indemnification Agreements and the partner agreements with our executive managing directors. Summaries of these agreements are provided in '-Certain Agreements of the Registrant and the Sculptor Operating Group Entities,' below, and, in the case of certain partner agreements with our executive managing directors, in 'Executive and Director Compensation,' above. Pursuant to these agreements, we may make payments to related persons or engage in transactions that are deemed 'Interested Transactions' under our Related Person Transaction Policy (the 'Policy'). During 2020, there were no Interested Transactions under the Policy except for those described below under 'Related Person Transactions.'

Policy on Transactions and Arrangements with Related Persons

The Board has adopted a written Related Person Transaction Policy that is administered by our Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee and applies to any transaction or series of transactions in which we or any of our subsidiaries is a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and a 'related person' (as defined under SEC rules) has or will have a direct or indirect material interest (any such transaction or series of transactions an 'Interested Transaction').

Under the Policy, all Interested Transactions with a related person are subject to pre-approval or ratification by the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee. The Policy requires a related person to promptly disclose to the Chief Legal Officer any Interested Transaction as well as all material facts about the transaction. The Chief Legal Officer will then assess and notify the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee of the material facts of any Interested Transaction that requires the Committee's pre-approval. In addition, the Board has delegated authority to the Chair of the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee to pre-approve or ratify transactions where the aggregate amount involved is expected to be less than $1.0 million. Moreover, the Nominating, Corporate Governance and Conflicts Committee has considered and adopted standing pre-approvals under the Policy for limited transactions with related persons that are or may be considered to be 'Interested Transactions.'

Related Person Transactions

The Board pre-approved or considered and approved or ratified all of the following related person transactions that occurred in 2020:

In September 2020, the Company entered into a new financing facility (the '2020 Credit Agreement') with Delaware Life Insurance Company ('Delaware Life'), consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $320.0 million (the '2020 Term Loan') and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the '2020 Revolving Credit Facility'). Additionally, in connection with the

2020 Credit Agreement, the Company issued to Delaware Life warrants to purchase approximately 4.3 million Class A Shares and provided Delaware Life a seat on the Company's Board of Directors.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company entered into the Implementing Agreements in 2019 and issued $200.0 million of Debt Securities (as defined below) and $200.0 million of New Preferred Securities (as defined below). Upon the closing of the 2020 Credit Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company used the proceeds from the 2020 Term Loan to repay in full the Debt Securities as well as to redeem the New Preferred Securities in full. The Debt Securities and New Preferred Securities were held by certain of our active and former executive managing directors. Mr. Och, one of our principal shareholders, held approximately $175.0 million of the New Preferred Securities, Mr. Levin held approximately $1.0 million of the New Preferred Securities and Mr. Cohen held approximately $0.25 million of the New Preferred Securities. Mr. Och held approximately $175.0 million of the Debt Securities, Mr. Levin held approximately $1.0 million of the Debt Securities and Mr. Cohen held approximately $0.25 million of the Debt Securities.

In March 2021, the Company committed to acquire a non-controlling membership interest of BharCap Sponsor LLC. The Company, BharCap Partners, LLC and other investors hold 100% of the membership interests of BharCap Sponsor LLC. Mr. Srikrishnan, a member of our Board and board designee of Delaware Life, is the founder and partner of BharCap Partners, LLC. In connection with the initial public offering of BharCap Acquisition Corp., a newly organized blank check company, BharCap Sponsor LLC, purchased 7,187,500 shares of BharCap Acquisition Corp.'s Class B common stock (up to 937,500 shares of which are subject to forfeiture depending on the extent to which the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised), has committed to purchase an aggregate of 5,000,000 warrants (or 5,500,000 warrants if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) at a price of $1.50 per warrant ($7,500,000 in the aggregate, or $8,250,000 if the underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) in a private placement that will close simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering of BharCap Acquisition Corp.

Summaries of these agreements are provided in '-Certain Agreements of the Registrant and the Sculptor Operating Group Entities,' below, and, in the case of certain partner agreements with our executive managing directors, in 'Executive and Director Compensation,' above. Pursuant to these agreements, we may make payments to related persons or engage in transactions that are deemed 'Interested Transactions' under the Policy.

CERTAIN AGREEMENTS OF THE REGISTRANT AND THE SCULPTOR OPERATING GROUP ENTITIES

New Preferred Unit Designations and New Senior Subordinated Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement

In connection with the Recapitalization, pursuant to the New Preferred Unit Designations, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships issued new preferred units with an aggregate liquidation preference of $200.0 million (the 'New Preferred Securities'), in exchange for $200.0 million of the then-existing preferred units issued by the Operating Partnerships (the 'Existing Preferred') and the Sculptor Operating Partnerships, each as a borrower, entered into an unsecured senior subordinated term loan credit and guaranty agreement (the 'Subordinated Credit Agreement') under which the Existing Preferred was restructured into new debt of the Operating Partnerships (the 'Debt Securities') were issued. Upon the closing of the 2020 Credit Agreement in the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company used the proceeds from the 2020 Term Loan to repay in full the Company's Debt Securities as well as to redeem the New Preferred Securities in full.

2020 Credit Agreement

On September 25, 2020, Sculptor Capital LP, as borrower, (the 'Borrower'), and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (the '2020 Credit Agreement'), consisting of the 2020 Term Loan and 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. Through January 2021, the Company voluntarily prepaid an aggregate of $175.0 million of the 2020 Term Loan, leaving a balance of $145.0 million, which is due at maturity. The Company has not drawn down on the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2020 Term Loan and the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility mature on the seventh and sixth anniversary, respectively, of the initial funding of the 2020 Term Loan, which occurred on November 13, 2020 (the 'Closing Date').

Borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company's option, one, two, three or six month LIBOR (subject to a 0.75% floor) plus 6.25%, or a base rate (subject to a 1.75% floor) plus 5.25%. The Borrower is also required to pay an undrawn commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% of the undrawn portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility. The 2020 Term Loan amortizes in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 0.75% of the original principal amount of the 2020 Term Loan; however, as a result of the prepayment in January 2021, no additional amortization payments will be due until maturity. The 2020 Credit Agreement contains customary prepayment provisions.

Certain prepayments of the 2020 Term Loan are subject to a prepayment premium (the 'Call Premium') equal to (a) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, a customary 'make-whole' premium equal to the present value of all required interest payments that would be due from the date of prepayment through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date plus a premium of 3.0% of the principal amount of loans prepaid, (b) on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of 3.0% of the principal amount of loans prepaid, (c) on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the four anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of 2.0% of the principal amount of loans prepaid and (d) thereafter, 0%. The Call Premium shall not apply to voluntary prepayments of the 2020 Term Loan of up to (x) $175.0 million in the aggregate on or prior to March 31, 2022 or (y) $100.0 million of aggregate principal amount at any time.

The 2020 Credit Agreement prohibits the total fee-paying assets under management, subject to certain exclusions, of the Borrower, the guarantors and their consolidated subsidiaries as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than $20.0 billion. The 2020 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for a transaction of this type, after which obligations under the 2020 Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Borrower, the guarantors or any of the material subsidiaries of the foregoing after which the obligations under the 2020 Credit Agreement become automatically due and payable.

Warrants

In connection with the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company issued warrants to purchase 4,338,015 Class A Shares to Delaware Life. The warrants have a 10-year term from the Closing Date and an exercise price per share equal to $11.93. In lieu of making a cash payment otherwise contemplated upon exercise, the holder may exercise the warrants in whole or in part to receive a net number of Class A Shares. In addition, one of the warrants provides that, upon exercise in whole or in part by the holder, the Company may decide in its sole discretion whether the holder's exercise of such warrant will be settled by delivery of Class A Shares (which shares may be reduced to a net number of Class A Shares in accordance with the procedure described in the preceding sentence) or by the Company's payment to the holder of an amount in cash equal to the

Black-Scholes value as provided for in the applicable warrant agreement. The exercise price is subject to reduction by an amount equal to any dividends paid on Class A Shares. The warrants provide for customary adjustments in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event. If the Company undergoes a change of control prior to the expiration date, the holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase any remaining portion of the warrants not yet exercised at their Black-Scholes value as provided for in the applicable agreement. The warrants restrict transfers and other dispositions for 18 months from the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

Board Representation Agreement

In connection with the 2020 Credit Agreement, on the Closing Date, the Company and Delaware Life entered into a board representation agreement (the 'Board Representation Agreement'). Pursuant to the terms of the Board Representation Agreement, Delaware Life designated, and the Board appointed, Bharath Srikrishnan to serve on the Board, and, subject to the terms of the Board Representation Agreement, Delaware Life has the right to nominate one director for election or re-election to the Board for so long as Delaware Life (including its affiliates and certain other entities from time to time upon mutual agreement of the Company and Delaware Life) continues to beneficially own at least 50% of the voting stock of the Company beneficially owned by it on the Closing Date (the 'Board Right Period'). During the Board Right Period the Company agreed, subject to the terms of the Board Representation Agreement, to use commercially reasonable efforts to procure the election or re-election of such designee to the Board. Pursuant to the Board Representation Agreement, Mr. Srikrishnan agreed to resign from the Board upon Delaware Life no longer beneficially owning at least 50% of the vote stock of the Company beneficially owned by it on the Closing Date or upon the written request of Delaware Life.

Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. (the 'Company')

Board of Directors' Independence Standards

An 'independent' director is a director whom the Board of Directors has determined has no material relationship with the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the 'Company'), either directly or indirectly.

To assist it in making determinations of director independence, the Board has determined that each of the relationships below is categorically immaterial and therefore, by itself, does not preclude a director from being independent:

1. the director has an immediate family member who is, or has been within the last three years, employed by the Company other than as an executive officer;

2. the director has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any 12-month period within the last three years, $120,000 or less in direct compensation from the Company, not including board and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service (provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);

3. (A) the director has an immediate family member who is a current employee (but not a partner) of a firm that is the Company's internal or outside auditor, but does not personally work on (and has not personally worked on in the last three years) the Company's audit; or (B) the director or an immediate family member was, within the last three years, a partner or employee of a firm that is the Company's internal or outside auditor but no longer works at the firm and did not personally work on the Company's audit within that time;

4. the director or an immediate family member is, or has been within the last three years, employed at another company where any of the Company's present executive officers serves or served at the same time on that company's compensation committee, but the director or the director's immediate family member is (or was) not an executive officer of the other company and his or her compensation is not (or was not) determined or reviewed by that company's compensation committee;

5. the director or an immediate family member is a current employee of a company that has made payments to, or received payments from, the Company for property or services in an amount that, in any of the last three fiscal years, was less than $1 million or 2% of the other company's consolidated gross revenues, whichever is greater; and

6. the director or an immediate family member is an employee (other than an executive officer) of a non-profit organization to which the Company has made contributions that, in any of the last three fiscal years, were less than $1 million or 2% of the non-profit organization's consolidated gross revenues, whichever is greater.

An 'immediate family member' includes a director's spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers and fathers-in-law, sons and daughters-in-law, brothers and sisters-in-law, and anyone (other than a domestic employee) who shares the director's home.
