Every insider equity transaction reported on Form 4 after the 2025 proxy statement — acquisitions, dispositions, exercises, and withholdings — and therefore not reflected in any table in that document.

Transaction codes per Form 4: A acquisition · S open-market sale · F tax withholding · M option exercise · G gift. Value = shares × price as reported. Dividend-equivalent and fractional-share accrual rows (derivative Class A, under $10,000 and under 2,000 shares) are aggregated per date; every row appears in full below.

% performance-vested = PSU grant-date fair value ÷ (RSU + PSU + Options), a computed value with the derivation shown in the register.

Ares Management’s compensation program is designed to attract, motivate and retain talented professionals who drive its success, including the success of our company. Ares Management’s compensation policy has several primary objectives: • Performance‑Based Compensation: Establish a clear relationship between performance and compensation; • Alignment: Align the interests of key employees with fund investors and unitholders to maximize value; and • Competitive Pay: Provide competitive incentive opportunities, with an appropriate balance between short‑term and long‑term incentives.

Rows are labeled by annual-meeting year, with the meeting date beside each; the vote held in a given year acts on the prior fiscal year's compensation.

Say-on-pay — history, company's computation

a. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “For purposes of the vote on Proposal 2, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.”.

b. Approved under the standard stated in the filing — “For purposes of the vote on Proposal 2, abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote.”.

Computed as the sum of the director compensation table rows above; inputs and formula shown in the register.

Most recent fiscal-year chief executive compensation at each disclosed peer, taken from that company's own proxy statement.

Each peer's compensation is from its most recently filed proxy; fiscal years differ by company. Each peer's figures come from its own filings; the subject company is highlighted. Peers whose chief executive compensation is outside our coverage universe are stated as such, never left blank.

Answers are drawn only from the figures disclosed in this brief and cited to their location in the source filing. Where a figure required for an answer is not disclosed, that is stated rather than estimated.

Each figure's location is given both for the eye (section · page · table · row · column) and for a script (table/row/column index and exact character span in the filed document). Any figure can be independently confirmed against the source.
