**Note 2**Pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated September 23, 2015 (as has been and may be further amended, modified or supplemented from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “SPA”), entered into by and between HG (Bermuda) Limited (“HG”) and Korn Ferry, at the closing of the transactions contemplated thereby, Korn Ferry paid to HG as partial consideration for the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares and non-interest bearing convertible preferred equity certificates of HG’s wholly owned subsidiary, HG (Luxembourg) S.a.r.l., 5,922,136 shares of Korn Ferry common stock (the “KF Shares”). Pursuant to the SPA, 835,011 of such KF Shares (the “Indemnity Escrow Shares”) were deposited at the closing into an escrow account to secure HG’s indemnification obligations under the SPA and on December 1, 2016 the Indemnity Escrow Shares were released from such account to HG. The lockup restrictions pertaining to 1,947,072 shares of the KF Shares (the “First Allocation”) expired on December 1, 2016. On December 1, 2016, following the release of the lockup restrictions pertaining to the First Allocation, HG transferred the First Allocation less 88 shares (which represent the sum of all the fractional shares that resulted from the proration of the First Allocation), on a pro rata basis, without consideration, to its shareholders and former shareholders to the extent entitled to such shares.

The Second Allocation less 7 shares amounts to 1,938,459 shares transferred on December 1, 2017. On December 26, 2017, the lockup restrictions pertaining to an additional 8,606 shares of the KF Shares (the “Non-Compete Shares”) were removed subsequent to the withdrawal by Korn Ferry of a non-compete lockup extension pertaining to such Non-Compete Shares. On December 26, 2017, following the release of the lockup restrictions pertaining to the Non-Compete Shares, HG transferred the Non-Compete Shares, without consideration, to the HG shareholder entitled to such shares.
