SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 23, 2015
 
 
PROSPECTUS
 
Up to 1,350,030 Shares of Class A Common Stock
 
 
Pzena Investment Management, Inc. may issue from time to time up to 1,350,030 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to holders of Class B units of Pzena Investment Management, LLC upon exchange of an equal number of Class B units previously granted pursuant to the Pzena Investment Management, LLC Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. We are organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and act as the sole managing member of Pzena Investment Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
 
The registration statement of which this prospectus is a part only registers the issuance of up to 1,350,030 shares of our Class A common stock upon the exchange by the holders of the equivalent number of Class B units. Any future resales by these holders of the shares received upon exchange may be made pursuant to an available exemption from registration under the Securities Act or a registration statement covering a secondary offering by these holders.
 
The registration of these shares does not necessarily mean that any holders will exchange their Class B units, which exchanges are subject to the restrictions set forth in the operating agreement of Pzena Investment Management, LLC.  We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of any of our shares of Class A common stock upon an exchange of Class B units, but we will acquire the Class B units exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock that we issue to an exchanging holder.
 
Our Class A common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PZN.” On June 17, 2015, the NYSE official closing price of our Class A common stock was $9.57 per share.
 

Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 2 of this prospectus to read about factors you should consider before buying our Class A common stock.
 
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our Class A common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should consider carefully the risk factors described in “Part II—Item 1A—Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which report is incorporated by reference herein, as such information may be amended or supplemented in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K, and all other information contained in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, before deciding to invest in our Class A common stock.
 
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
This prospectus contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations, or forecasts, of future events. Forward-looking statements include statements about our expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, intentions, assumptions and other statements that are not historical facts. Words or phrases such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “ongoing,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project” or similar words or phrases, or the negatives of those words or phrases, may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not necessarily mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
 
Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and are based on potentially inaccurate assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, which report is incorporated by reference herein, as such information may be amended or supplemented in our subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Accordingly, you should not unduly rely on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this prospectus. We undertake no obligation to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events after the date of this prospectus, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. You should, however, review the factors and risks we describe in the periodic and other reports we will file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, after the date of this prospectus.
 
Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about:
 
•
our anticipated future results of operations and operating cash flows;
•
our business strategies and investment policies;
•
our financing plans and the availability of short- or long-term borrowing, or equity financing;
•
our competitive position and the effects of competition on our business;

1


•
potential growth opportunities available to us;
•
the recruitment and retention of our employees;
•
our expected levels of compensation for our employees;
•
our potential operating performance, achievements, efficiency and cost reduction efforts;
•
our expected tax rate;
•
changes in interest rates;
•
our expectation with respect to the economy, capital markets, the market for asset management services and other industry trends; and
•
the impact of future legislation and regulation, and changes in existing legislation and regulation, on our business.

The reports that we file with the SEC, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, identify additional factors that can affect forward-looking statements.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of any shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus, but we will acquire the Class B units of Pzena Investment Management, LLC exchanged for the shares of our Class A common stock that we issue to an exchanging holder.

EXCHANGE OF CLASS B UNITS OF PZENA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC
 
The 1,350,030 shares of Class A common stock registered hereby will be issued upon exchange of an equal number of Class B units which were previously granted to the holder pursuant to the Pzena Investment Management, LLC Amended and Restated 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. All such Class B units are held subject to the terms and conditions of the operating agreement described below.
 
The operating agreement of Pzena Investment Management, LLC, dated as of October 30, 2007 and as amended on March 24, 2010, March 5, 2012, and November 1, 2014 sets forth the terms and conditions of exchanges of Class B units for shares of our Class A common stock. Pursuant to this operating agreement, each holder of Class B units may exchange up to 15% of certain of its Class B units for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock on a date designated by us each year, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the operating agreement, including, but not limited to the following:
 
(i)        No Class B unit may be exchanged until the first day after the first anniversary of the date of original issuance of such Class B unit.

(ii)       No holder of Class B units will be entitled to exchange any Class B units for shares of Class A common stock if such exchange would be prohibited under applicable federal or state securities laws or regulations.
 
In order to exercise its exchange rights, a holder of Class B units must provide written notice to us that such holder desires to exchange a stated number of Class B units for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock. This written notice must be accompanied by instruments of transfer, in forms satisfactory to us and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, as the transfer agent for the Class A common stock, duly executed by the holder or its duly authorized attorney and transfer tax stamps or funds therefor if such shares will be issued in a name other than that of the holder of the Class B units exchanged. Delivery of the written notice and instruments of transfer must be made during normal business hours to the principal executive office of Pzena Investment Management, Inc. or our transfer agent.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
This prospectus relates to the issuance from time to time of up to 1,350,030 shares of our Class A common stock to holders of up to an equal number of Class B units of Pzena Investment Management, LLC. The shares of Class A common stock registered under this prospectus will only be issued to the extent that holders of Class B units of Pzena Investment Management, LLC exchange such Class B units. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of any of our shares of Class A common stock upon an exchange of such Class B units, but we will acquire the Class B units exchanged for shares of our Class A common stock that we issue to an exchanging holder.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
The Registrant is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“Delaware Law”) provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any persons who were, are, or are threatened to be made, parties to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by, or in the right of, such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is, or was, an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation, or is, or was, serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually, and reasonably incurred, by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the corporation’s best interests and, for any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
 
A Delaware corporation may indemnify officers and directors against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with the defense or settlement of an action by, or in the right of, the corporation under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to the corporation. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, the corporation must indemnify him or her against the expenses which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred.
 
In accordance with Section 102(b)(7) of Delaware Law, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contains a provision to limit the personal liability of its directors’ violations of their fiduciary duty. This provision eliminates each director’s liability to the Registrant and its stockholders for monetary damages except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Registrant or to its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware Law providing for liability of directors for unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit. In addition, the Registrant’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes it to purchase and maintain insurance to protect the Registrant and any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, or another business entity, against any expense, liability or loss incurred by him or her in any such capacity, or arising out of his or her status as such, regardless of whether the Registrant would have the power to indemnify such person under its bylaws or Delaware Law.
 
The Registrant maintains directors and officers’ liability insurance, which covers directors and officers against certain claims or liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties, and it intends to maintain this insurance in place. In addition, the Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors. These agreements provide, in general, that the Registrant indemnify, and pay expenses on behalf of, these persons to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
 
The indemnification provisions noted above may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of the Registrant’s officers and directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act, as amended.

Item 17.  Undertakings.
 
a.           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
1.           To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
i.           To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
 
ii.           To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;
 
iii.           To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
 
Provided however, that: paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 or Form F-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
 
2.           That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
3.           To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
4.           That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
 
If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:
 

II - 2


A.           Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
 
B.           Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
 
5.           That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
i.           Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
ii.           Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
iii.           The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
iv.           Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
b.           The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
 
c.           Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
