Summary
This Form 8-K/A filing from Ares Management, L.P. on June 10, 2014, serves as an amendment to a previous report, primarily to correct an inadvertent error in a press release dated June 10, 2014, which announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The error involved a graphical representation of assets under management within the Tradable Credit Group, where an incorrect pie chart was mistakenly included in a printed version of the press release. The amendment ensures that the version of the press release included as an exhibit to this 8-K/A contains the accurate pie chart. While the core financial results are not altered by this correction, it is important for investors to have access to the precise and correctly presented information. The filing clarifies that the information furnished under Item 2.02 is not considered "filed" for Section 18 purposes, meaning it doesn't automatically become part of other SEC filings unless explicitly incorporated.
