SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
 
 
The selling stockholders named in this prospectus supplement may offer to sell from time to time in the future up to an aggregate of 40,114,701 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share. As of the date of this prospectus supplement, the selling stockholders collectively hold 700,968 of these shares of our Class A common stock.  The remaining 39,413,733 shares of our Class A common stock may be issued to the selling stockholders upon their election to exchange an equivalent number of Class B Units of our operating company pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the operating agreement of our operating company.  These Class B Units were issued to the selling stockholders (i) in connection with the reorganization of our operating company and the concurrent initial public offering of our Class A common stock on October 30, 2007, (ii) as equity incentive awards or bonus amounts under the Pzena Investment Management, LLC 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended, or the Pzena Investment Management, LLC Amended and Restated Bonus Plan, as amended, respectively, or (iii) in connection with a donation by certain of our executive officers on August 3, 2012.  Pursuant to the exchange provisions of our operating company’s operating agreement, we are required to designate at least one date on or before October 30th of each year on which all holders of Class B Units are permitted to exchange up to 15% of their vested Class B Units for an equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock, subject to certain exceptions and other limitations.  To the extent that any of the selling stockholders elect to exchange any of these Class B Units for shares of our Class A common stock, they may resell the equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock issued to them in exchange therefor pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, in addition to any of the shares of our Class A common stock collectively held by them as of the date of this prospectus supplement.

The selling stockholders named below consist of each of our current executive officers and their estate planning vehicles and donees.  The selling stockholders may sell all, some or none of their Class A common stock in this offering. See “Plan of Distribution” in the accompanying prospectus.

The table below describes each selling stockholder’s beneficial ownership of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock (i) as of the date of this prospectus supplement and (ii) assuming each selling stockholder has exchanged all Class B Units currently beneficially owned by it for the equivalent number of shares of our Class A common stock and resold all such shares of our Class A common stock pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.

Each share of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.  Each share of our Class B common stock, par value $0.00001 per share, is entitled to five votes per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders.  Upon the issuance by our operating company of a Class B Unit, we are required to issue the holder thereof one share of our Class B common stock.  Upon the exchange of a Class B Unit for a share of our Class A common stock, the share of our Class B common stock originally issued in connection with the Class B Unit is automatically redeemed and cancelled.
