SUPPLEMENT TO THE PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON JUNE 9, 2020
This
Supplement, including the press release attached as Appendix A (together, this Supplement), supplements and amends the original definitive proxy statement of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (we, us,
our, AMG or the Company), dated April 28, 2020 (the Proxy Statement), for our Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 9, 2020 (the Annual Meeting).
Establishment of Co-Chairman Positions and Appointment of Patrick T. Ryan as Co-Chairman
On May 18, 2020, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Mr. Patrick T. Ryan, a
long-term independent Director and former Lead Independent Director, as independent Co-Chairman. In this role, Mr. Ryan will also chair the Nominating and Governance Committee.
Mr. Sean M. Healey, the Companys Executive Chairman and former Chief Executive Officer, was appointed Executive Co-Chairman. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Healey are both director nominees,
expected to be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve until the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as indicated in Proposal 1 Election of Directors, which is described in
the Proxy Statement.
The Companys Chairman and Chief Executive Officer positions have been separated since 2018, when Mr. Healey became
Executive Chairman. In establishing the Co-Chairman positions, the Board has taken a further step in the transition toward a single independent Chairman, demonstrating AMGs active evolution of our
corporate governance practices and responding to shareholder feedback on our Board structure.
The Co-Chairman
positions will enable the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jay C. Horgen, to focus on the management of AMG, with the Co-Chairmen focused on Board oversight responsibilities
and providing guidance on AMGs strategic direction. The Co-Chairmen will coordinate the agenda and chair Board meetings, with the independent Co-Chairman also
coordinating the agenda and leading executive sessions and meetings of the non-executive directors, and leading the Board of Directors annual self-assessment process and annual evaluation of the Chief
Executive Officer. The independent Co-Chairman will serve as a key source of communication between the non-executive directors and management, and in ensuring the flow
of appropriate information to and among the non-executive directors.
Mr. Ryan was appointed as Co-Chairman given his excellent qualifications, including his extensive executive management experience, particularly in previous chief executive officer roles at several public and private companies, as well as his
current role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Press Ganey Associates LLC. Given Mr. Ryans service to our Board of Directors for over a decade, including previously serving as Lead Director and service on all of the committees
and as chair of several committees during his tenure, the Board of Directors believes that his extensive knowledge, and participation in the execution of the Companys corporate strategy over the long term, along with his executive management
experience outside of AMG, position him as an effective Co-Chairman.
In modifying Mr. Healeys role,
the Board has retained an experienced Chairman who has unparalleled knowledge of AMGs business and operations and is a widely recognized leader in the asset management industry, and who continues to provide continuity in the execution of
AMGs business and strategy, as well as support for the senior management team.
Co-Chairmen Compensation
Consistent with the Compensation Committees philosophy that compensation should be directly linked to increases in stockholder value, and consistent
with a change in role, the Compensation Committee determined that going forward, Mr. Healey will receive compensation aligned with that of the Companys non-executive directors in the form of the
same base annual director fee and annual equity awards and will no longer be eligible to receive annual performance-based cash or equity awards. The Compensation Committee also determined that the annual fee for serving as Co-Chairman will be $100,000, consistent with the annual fee for the now-retired Lead Independent Director position. Mr. Healey remains an executive of AMG.
