NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Jul. 25, 2018–
Focus Financial Partners Inc. (NASDAQ: FOCS) (“Focus”) announced today
the pricing of an initial public offering of 16,216,217 shares of its
Class A common stock at $33.00 per share. The shares are expected to
begin trading on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker symbol
“FOCS” on July 26, 2018. In addition, Focus granted the underwriters a
30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,432,433 shares of
Focus’s Class A common stock at the initial public offering price, less
underwriting discounts and commissions. The offering is expected to
close on July 30, 2018, subject to customary closing conditions.

Focus expects to receive approximately $535.1 million of gross proceeds
from the offering, or $615.4 million if the underwriters exercise their

limited liability company units (“Units”) in Focus Financial Partners,
LLC (“Focus LLC” and Units therein, “Focus LLC Units”), its subsidiary,
from certain existing holders. Focus intends to contribute the remaining
net proceeds to Focus LLC in exchange for Focus LLC Units. Focus LLC
will use such net proceeds to reduce indebtedness under its credit
facilities and for acquisitions and general corporate business purposes.
If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares,
Focus intends to contribute the proceeds it receives to Focus LLC in
exchange for additional Focus LLC Units, and Focus LLC will use such
proceeds for acquisitions and general corporate business purposes.
