Frequently Asked Questions
The main purpose of this 8-K filing is to formally announce Blackstone's financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, and to incorporate by reference the related press release and presentation that provide the detailed financial information.
The actual financial results and detailed performance metrics for the second quarter of 2014 are not included directly in the 8-K filing itself. Investors need to refer to Exhibit 99.1 (the press release) and Exhibit 99.2 (the detailed presentation) which are attached to this 8-K filing.
While this 8-K filing itself does not contain forward-looking statements, the accompanying press release and presentation (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) likely do. Investors should review those documents for any forward-looking statements and associated risk factors.
When information is 'furnished' rather than 'filed' in an 8-K, it generally means the company is providing the information to the SEC but is not subject to the same liabilities under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as if it were 'filed.' This is a common practice for earnings releases.
