**PROXY STATEMENT**

**FOR 2026 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS**

**TO BE HELD ON MAY 27, 2026**

April 17, 2026

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Affiliated Managers Group,

Inc. ("AMG," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our") for use at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 27, 2026, at 9:00

a.m. Eastern Daylight Time at the Company's office at 600 Hale Street, Prides Crossing, Massachusetts 01965 and at any adjournments or

postponements thereof (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to elect seven directors; approve, by a

non-binding advisory vote, the compensation of the Company's named executive officers (as defined in the "Executive Compensation

Tables" section of this Proxy Statement); ratify the selection of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("PwC") as our independent registered public

accounting firm for the current fiscal year; and consider and act upon any other matters properly brought before them.

**Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials.** This year, we have again reduced our environmental impact by

providing proxy materials to you online in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") rules. On or about April 17, 2026,

we will mail to our stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the "Notice") containing instructions on how to access

this Proxy Statement and our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K online. The Notice, which cannot itself be used to vote your shares, also

provides instructions on how to vote online and how to request a paper copy of the proxy materials, if you so desire. Whether you received

the Notice or paper copies of our proxy materials, the Proxy Statement and 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K are available to you at

***www.proxyvote.com***.

Stockholders of record of the Company's common stock at the close of business on the record date of April 6, 2026 will be entitled to

notice of the Annual Meeting and to one vote per share on each matter presented at the Annual Meeting. As of the record date, there were

26,554,106 shares of common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

The presence, in person or by proxy, of holders of at least a majority of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding and

entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum.

A "broker non-vote" is a proxy from a broker or other nominee indicating that such person has not received instructions from the

beneficial owner on a particular matter with respect to which the broker or other nominee does not have discretionary voting power.

Brokers have the discretion to vote their clients' proxies only on matters deemed "routine" by the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE").

**At this year's Annual Meeting, the election of directors (Proposal 1) and the advisory vote on executive compensation** 

**(Proposal 2) are non-routine matters, and only the ratification of our auditors (Proposal 3) is a routine matter. It is important that** 

**you instruct your broker as to how you wish to have your shares voted on these proposals, even if you wish to vote as** 

**recommended by the Board of Directors.**

Stockholders are requested to submit a proxy online or by telephone, or by returning a completed, signed, and dated proxy card or

voting instruction form. If you vote online or by telephone, you should not return a proxy card or voting instruction form. Shares represented

by a properly submitted proxy received prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting and not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting as

directed by the proxy. If a properly executed proxy or voting instruction form is submitted without any instructions indicated, the proxy will

be voted **FOR** the election of each of the nominees for director, **FOR** the approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation, and

**FOR** the ratification of the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year. If other matters

are presented, proxies will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the proxy holders on such other matters.

A stockholder of record may revoke a proxy at any time before it has been voted by filing a written revocation with the Corporate

Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal executive office at 1001 U.S. Highway One North, Jupiter, Florida 33477, by

submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by appearing in person and voting by ballot at the Annual Meeting. A stockholder

of record who voted online or by telephone may also change his or her vote with a timely and valid later online or telephone vote. Any

stockholder of record as of the record date may attend the Annual Meeting whether or not a proxy has previously been given, but the

presence (without further action) of a stockholder at the Annual Meeting will not constitute revocation of a previously given proxy. If you

hold your shares in street name and would like to change your voting instructions, please follow the instructions provided to you by your

broker, bank, or other intermediary.

A stockholder may vote in person at the Annual Meeting upon presenting picture identification and any one of the following: an

account statement, the Notice, or a proxy card. If you hold your shares in street name, you will need to obtain a proxy from your bank or

broker in order to vote in person, and you must bring a brokerage statement or letter from your broker, bank, or other intermediary

reflecting stock ownership, along with picture identification. The address of the Company's office in Prides Crossing, Massachusetts is set

forth above for stockholders who plan to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

Company Overview<br>

AMG is a strategic partner to leading independent investment firms globally. Our strategy is to generate long-term value by

investing in high-quality independent partner-owned firms, which we refer to as "Affiliates," through a proven partnership approach,

and allocating resources across our unique opportunity set to the areas of highest growth and return. With their entrepreneurial,

investment-centric cultures and deep alignment of interests with clients through direct equity ownership by firm principals,

independent firms have fundamental competitive advantages in offering unique return streams to the marketplace. AMG's

distinctive partnership approach magnifies the existing advantages of our independent Affiliates and actively supports their ongoing

independence and ownership culture. Our innovative model enables each Affiliate's management team to retain autonomy and

significant equity ownership in their firm, while they leverage our strategic capabilities and insight, including access to growth

capital, product strategy and distribution through our capital formation capabilities, succession planning, and strategic advisory, to

expand their reach, diversify their businesses, and enhance their long-term success.

2025 Performance Summary<br>

AMG achieved outstanding results in 2025, realizing 22% growth in annual Economic earnings per share relative to the previous

year, and generating record net inflows into alternative strategies — reflecting the positive impact of our strategic execution during

2025 and in previous years, and our capital allocation discipline across both growth investments and capital return to shareholders

through share repurchases. In 2025, in line with our strategy, AMG closed on four new partnerships with firms operating in areas of

secular demand, and after year-end, AMG closed on two additional new Affiliate partnerships as well as an incremental investment

in our highly successful Affiliate of seven years, Garda Capital Partners. We also continued to focus on investing AMG's capital and

resources in and alongside our Affiliates, especially in collaboration with our Affiliate partners to develop innovative products well-

aligned with client demand trends — most notably, alternative strategies for the U.S. wealth marketplace. In addition, we further

enhanced and simplified AMG's balance sheet, while also returning significant excess capital to shareholders through share

repurchases. We continue to focus on strategically evolving AMG's business to expand the Company's exposure to long-term

secular growth areas, and exercising ongoing discipline in allocating capital to generate long-term earnings growth and shareholder

value creation.

| 2025 Annual Incentive Compensation Determination Results |
| **2025 Performance Assessment Scorecard Results** |

---

• The Compensation Committee selected and designed each performance metric within the Performance Assessment Scorecard with the objective

to pay median compensation for median business performance and stockholder return. To the extent that the CEO and other NEOs deliver

exceptional business performance and stockholder return, an individual metric will yield a score of greater than 100% (subject to a cap

implemented by the Committee of 200% on the achievement of any individual metric and an aggregate notional cap on Total Compensation

independent of the weighted score); accordingly, for below-median or below-target performance, as applicable, an individual metric will yield a

score of less than 100%

• Beginning in performance year 2023, the Committee implemented a threshold on the earnings-related metrics (#1 and #2 below), set at 50% of

target. In 5 of 9 metrics (#3 – #7), poor performance may yield a score of 0%, indicating a natural threshold value for these metrics. In total, 78%

of the scorecard metrics have a pre-set or natural threshold value

• The CEO Target Total Payout was established at the <u>median</u> of the CEO compensation of the Peer Group: $14.1 million. Based on the output of

the formulaic Performance Assessment scorecard, the final score of 134% was applied to CEO Target Total Payout of $14.1 million, resulting in

Total Compensation of $19.0 million and Annual Incentive Compensation for the CEO of $18.2 million. Following the Committee's application of

the pre-set $17.5 million cap on Total Compensation (which existed independently of the 200% cap on individual metrics in the Performance

Assessment Scorecard), the resulting Annual Incentive Compensation was $16.8 million. The impact of the overall cap on the CEO's Total

Compensation reduced Annual Incentive Compensation by $(1.5) million, or (8)%, of the calculated result

• Having calculated the results of the Performance Assessment scorecard, the Committee reviewed the output from the weighted average score

applied to the CEO Target Total Payout, which produced total incentive compensation awards for 2025 consistent with the design of the plan

• The Overall Performance Assessment Score increased from 118% in 2024 to 134% in performance year 2025; detailed performance by metric

shown on accompanying exhibit. The drivers of the increase in the overall achievement score relative to the prior year include:

–Double-digit annual growth in Adjusted EBITDA and EEPS, driving metrics #1 and #2

–Strong absolute and relative stockholder return across 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods, benefiting metrics #4, #5, and #7

–Record net inflows into alternative strategies in addition to four new investments in alternative managers, driving metric #8

–Increase in employee engagement score, driving metric #9

–The positive impacts above were partially offset by lower achievement scores in metric #3, as a result of lower relative GAAP EPS over the

3-year period, and in metric #6, as a result of the roll-off of higher-yielding new investments during the same period

| 2025 Annual Incentive Compensation Determination Results (cont.) |
| **Formulaic Derivation of Incentive Compensation and Mix of Incentive Awards** |

---

• The Overall Performance Assessment Score of 134% was applied to the CEO Target Total Payout, resulting in Total Compensation of $19.0

million and Annual Incentive Compensation for the CEO of $18.2 million. After the Committee applied the pre-set $17.5 million cap on Total

Compensation for the CEO, the resulting Annual Incentive Compensation was $16.8 million, $(1.5) million, or (8)% lower than the formulaically

derived amount

• Annual Incentive Compensation was then allocated between cash bonus and long-term equity awards using a pre-established tiered formula

which caps cash awards at 50% of Annual Incentive Compensation, and in which the proportion of equity awards increases as Annual Incentive

Compensation increases. The allocation resulted in a formulaic cash bonus of $6.5 million (39% of Total Compensation) and a formulaic equity

incentive award amount of $10.2 million (61%) for the CEO

• The formulaic equity incentive award amount was granted 25% in the form of Long-Term Deferred Equity Awards and 75% in the form of Long-

Term Performance Achievement Awards; for the CEO, Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards accounted for 44% of Total Compensation

What has** <br>**been the rationale for the** <br>**changes made to the** <br>**Performance Assessment** <br>**metrics and weightings?**<br>| •**Implemented Best Practices:** The Compensation Committee integrated many years of shareholder <br>feedback to redesign the incentive determination process for performance year 2021, resulting in an <br>objective, formulaic, streamlined approach which incorporates compensation targets as well as performance <br>metric targets across financial, Total Stockholder Return ("TSR"), and operating measures in a single <br>quantitative Performance Assessment. The Committee implemented a pre-set formula governing the mix of <br>cash and equity incentive awards, and another pre-set formula governing the mix of time- and performance-<br>based equity, ensuring a limit on short-term incentive compensation as well as a majority of equity-based <br>compensation awarded in performance-based equity with rigorous pre-set targets and cliff-vesting over a <br>three-year period<br>•**Relative Performance Drives Relative Compensation:** The approach is designed to yield incentive <br>compensation payouts relative to a peer benchmark (since performance year 2021, the benchmark for CEO <br>compensation was set at the median of Peer Group CEO compensation) and relative to median peer <br>business performance and stockholder return. The Performance Assessment incorporates metrics which are <br>viewed by shareholders as key performance indicators for AMG's business, and as being consistent with <br>management's ability to drive value creation; revisions related to the inclusion of individual metrics as well as <br>the design of each metric have incorporated shareholder feedback as to the effectiveness of metrics as <br>absolute and relative performance indicators and management's ability to generate business results, as well <br>as feedback requesting enhanced simplicity of the Performance Assessment design<br>•**Strong Shareholder Support:** The redesigned incentive program was supported by 97%, 97%, 98%, and <br>97% of shares voted by shareholders at the 2025, 2024, 2023, and 2022 Annual Meetings of Stockholders, <br>respectively, indicating strong affirmation of the appropriate and rigorous nature of the Committee's <br>approach. Shareholders also commented that the formulaic approach utilizes metrics that are consistent with <br>management's ability to drive value creation.

**PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS**

**Introduction** 

Seven directors, which will constitute our entire Board of Directors following the Annual Meeting, are expected to be elected at

the Annual Meeting to serve until the 2027 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected

and qualified. The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, has nominated G.

Staley Cates, Marcy Engel, Annette Franqui, Jay C. Horgen, Félix V. Matos Rodríguez, Tracy P. Palandjian, and Loren M. Starr to

serve as directors. Each of these director nominees is currently serving as a director of the Company. David C. Ryan, a current

member of the Board of Directors, is not standing for re-election and his term will expire after the Annual Meeting. Mr. Ryan has

dutifully served the Company during his tenure as a member of the Board of Directors, and his service to the Company has been

greatly appreciated. As more fully discussed below in the "Corporate Governance Matters and Meetings of the Board of Directors

and Committees" section of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors has determined that six of its seven director nominees,

Mr. Cates, Ms. Engel, Ms. Franqui, Dr. Matos Rodríguez, Ms. Palandjian, and Mr. Starr have no material relationship with the

Company and, therefore, are independent for purposes of NYSE listing standards. The Board of Directors expects that each of the

director nominees will, if elected, serve as a director for the new term. However, if any person nominated by the Board of Directors

is unable to accept election, the proxies will be voted for the election of such other person or persons as the Board of Directors may

recommend.

The Company's by-laws (as amended and restated, the "By-laws") provide for majority voting in uncontested director elections.

Under the majority voting standard, directors are elected by a majority of the votes cast, which means that the number of shares

voted "for" a director must exceed the number of shares voted "against" that director. In a contested election (a situation in which

the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected), the standard for the election of directors will be a plurality

of the votes cast. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on the election of directors.

Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee has established procedures for any

incumbent director who is not re-elected to tender his or her offer to resign. Upon receiving the director's offer to resign, the

Nominating and Governance Committee will recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the offer to resign, or

whether other action should be taken. The Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board of Directors, in making their

decisions, may consider any factor or information that they deem relevant. The Board of Directors, taking into account the

Nominating and Governance Committee's recommendation, will act on the tendered resignation within ninety days following

certification of the election results. A director whose resignation is under consideration must abstain from participating in any

recommendation or decision regarding his or her resignation.

**Recommendation of the Board of Directors**

The Board of Directors believes that the election of each of the director nominees named above is in the best interests of the

Company and its stockholders and, therefore, recommends that stockholders vote **FOR** the election of each of the director

nominees.

**Information Regarding the Nominees** 

The following table sets forth the name, age (as of April 15, 2026), tenure, and other information of each director nominee,

along with the committees of the Board of Directors on which each individual currently serves.

**Corporate Governance Matters and Meetings of the Board of Directors and Committees** 

***Board of Directors:*** The full Board of Directors met ten times in 2025. During their service in 2025, each member of the Board

of Directors attended an average of 99% of the total number of meetings of the full Board of Directors and all applicable standing

committees of the Board of Directors. We do not have a formal policy regarding director attendance at our Annual Meeting of

Stockholders. One director attended the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

At least annually, the Board of Directors evaluates the independence of AMG's directors in light of the standards established by

the NYSE. A majority of the Board of Directors must be independent within the meaning of NYSE listing standards. After its most

recent evaluation of director independence, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that six of our seven director nominees,

Mr. Cates, Ms. Engel, Ms. Franqui, Dr. Matos Rodríguez, Ms. Palandjian, and Mr. Starr are "independent" for purposes of NYSE

listing standards. The Board of Directors also previously determined that Mr. Ryan is "independent" for purposes of the NYSE

listing standards. The Board of Directors made its determinations based upon individual evaluations of these director nominees'

employment or board of directors affiliations, compensation history, and any commercial, family, or other relationships with the

Company. There were no transactions between any director nominee and the Company for the Board of Directors' consideration in

determining the independence of any independent director. Members of the Board of Directors serve as directors, trustees, or in

similar capacities (but not as executive officers or employees) for non-profit organizations to which we may make charitable

contributions from time to time. Contributions to these organizations did not exceed either $120,000 or 1% of each of those

organizations' annual consolidated gross revenues during their last completed fiscal years.

The standing committees of the Board of Directors are the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the

Nominating and Governance Committee. Only independent directors, according to NYSE listing standards, serve on these

committees. Other members of the Board of Directors may attend committee meetings from time to time at the invitation of the

respective committee. Each committee acts pursuant to a written charter adopted by the respective committee. The members and

chairs of each committee are set forth above in the table titled "Director Nominee Information: Committee Memberships," and a

description of each committee is set forth below.

***Audit Committee:*** Each of the members meets the independence standards applicable to audit committees under the

Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and NYSE listing standards, and each of Mr. Cates, Ms. Franqui, and Mr. Starr is an audit committee

financial expert, as defined by the SEC. The Audit Committee's purpose is to assist the Board of Directors in oversight of our

internal controls and financial statements and the audit process. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during 2025.

***Compensation Committee:*** Each member meets the independence requirements applicable to compensation committees

under NYSE listing standards. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing our general compensation policies and

establishing and reviewing the compensation plans and benefit programs applicable to our executive officers. In that capacity, the

Compensation Committee also administers AMG's incentive plans, and has sole authority and discretion to determine and approve

the compensation of our named executive officers and the performance goals related to such plans and programs. The

Compensation Committee held seven meetings during 2025, and conferred on additional occasions throughout the year to discuss

changes and enhancements to the executive compensation program.

***Nominating and Governance Committee:*** The Nominating and Governance Committee is primarily responsible for

recommending criteria to the Board of Directors for Board and committee membership; identifying and evaluating director

candidates; overseeing the annual self-assessment of the Board of Directors and its committees; overseeing succession planning

related to the roles of Chief Executive Officer and other key executives; and reviewing our Corporate Governance Guidelines at

least annually to ensure that we continue to meet best-practice standards in corporate governance. The Nominating and

Governance Committee held six meetings during 2025.

***Board Composition and Refreshment Process:*** The Nominating and Governance Committee may solicit director candidate

recommendations from a number of sources, including directors, executive officers, and third-party search firms. The Nominating

and Governance Committee will consider for nomination any director candidates, including director candidates recommended by

our stockholders, who are deemed qualified by the Nominating and Governance Committee in light of the qualifications and criteria

for Board of Directors membership described below, or such other criteria as approved by the Board of Directors or a committee

thereof from time to time. Stockholder recommendations must be submitted to the Nominating and Governance Committee in

accordance with the requirements set forth in the By-laws, including those discussed in the "Other Matters—Stockholder

Proposals" section of this Proxy Statement, and any procedures established from time to time by the Nominating and Governance

Committee. The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a specific policy regarding the consideration of stockholder

recommendations for director candidates and considers this appropriate because it evaluates recommendations without regard to

their source. The Nominating and Governance Committee evaluates any potential conflicts of interest on a case-by-case basis, to

the extent they may arise.

The Board of Directors believes that a broad range of perspectives and expertise enhances its overall effectiveness. When

considering candidates for directorship, including nominees currently serving as directors of the Company, the Nominating and

Governance Committee takes into account a number of factors, including the following qualifications: the nominee must have the

highest personal and professional integrity and have demonstrated exceptional ability and judgment and the attributes necessary

(in conjunction with the other members of the Board of Directors) to best serve the long-term interests of the Company and its

stockholders. The Nominating and Governance Committee does not have a policy regarding diversity in identifying nominees for a

directorship, but rather considers differentiation in background, perspective, and experience relative to existing independent

directors among the various factors relevant to the consideration of any particular nominee. In addition, the Nominating and

Governance Committee reviews from time to time the skills and characteristics necessary and appropriate for directors in light of

the then-current composition of the Board of Directors, including the following factors:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Director Candidate Qualifications and Attributes | Director Candidate Qualifications and Attributes |
| •Business, leadership, and governance experience, including <br>experience managing and growing organizations worldwide, <br>inclusive of other public board service<br>| •Knowledge of, and relationships within, the financial services <br>industry and, in particular, the asset management industry<br>|
| •Demonstrated experience with prudent and strategic capital <br>allocation, as we seek to deploy resources to the areas of highest <br>growth and return in our business<br>| •Understanding of organizations, processes, strategy, risk <br>management, and other factors that promote growth<br>|
| •Understanding of finance and financial reporting processes | •Differentiation in background, perspective, and experience relative <br>to existing independent directors<br>|

---

The Board of Directors has had the opportunity for meaningful refreshment in recent years, with a resultant Board operating

with increased effectiveness on behalf of shareholders. Our 2026 director nominees include five independent directors who have

joined the Board since 2021, including a new independent director appointment in each of 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026. These

additions to the Board followed a rigorous process that included evaluating a significant number of candidates in recent years, a

number of whom met with members of the Nominating and Governance Committee and other directors, as well as members of

management, as part of our nomination process. This active process is led by the Nominating and Governance Committee and

Board Chair, and includes an evaluation of the current composition of the Board in order to focus on candidates with diversified

skills and experiences that would enhance the Board's collective capabilities and bring new perspectives. The full Board of

Directors considers each candidate's qualifications, and determines whether to nominate a given candidate to serve on the Board.

The current nominees to the Board of Directors comprise individuals with a substantial variety of skills and expertise, as shown

in the "Director Nominee Experience and Skills Overview" table above, including with respect to investment management and

financial services, international business, government, and not-for-profit organizations. The Nominating and Governance

Committee believes it is important to maintain a mix of longer-tenured directors with a deep understanding of the Company and

newer directors who bring a fresh perspective. The following are highlights of the composition of AMG's Board of Directors

nominees:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Board of Directors Composition | Board of Directors Composition |
| •New Chairs of two Board committees in 2025, and new Chairs of all <br>Board committees since 2024<br>| •Strong refreshment practices on Committees; new members on all <br>Committees since 2020<br>|
| •2026 Board nominees include five new independent directors since <br>2021, including a new independent director appointment in each of <br>2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026<br>| •Transitioned to a non-executive, independent Board Chair in 2020 |
| •Experienced independent directors in leadership roles | •Average director nominee age of 61 |

---

***Succession Planning:*** The Nominating and Governance Committee has primary responsibility for Chief Executive Officer and

other key executive succession planning. Succession planning and executive development are fundamental components of the

Board of Directors' governance responsibilities, and are regularly discussed by the Committee with management present as well as

in executive sessions.

The Board has demonstrated the depth and effectiveness of its succession planning through periods of organizational

evolution, including following the departure of our former President and Chief Operating Officer in the first quarter of 2026, where

responsibilities were transitioned across existing members of the senior leadership team. Annually, the independent directors

review management succession planning by incorporating feedback from Mr. Horgen and engaging in a full discussion during

executive sessions of the Board without management present. The independent directors and Mr. Horgen have continued to focus

on developing and expanding the senior management team, to maintain a breadth and depth of talent that ensures that AMG is

well-positioned to continue to refine and execute its strategy, including as reflected by the 2024 appointments of our current Chief

Financial Officer and General Counsel, the 2026 appointment of our Head of Affiliate Engagement and Co-Head of Affiliate

Partnerships as an executive officer, and the leadership transition described above.

***Board Size:*** The Nominating and Governance Committee assesses the size and composition of the Board of Directors each

year. Consistent with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Nominating and Governance Committee believes that the size of

the Board of Directors, which will be seven members following the conclusion of the Annual Meeting, is appropriate given the size

and complexity of the Company and the markets in which we operate. The Nominating and Governance Committee will continue to

assess the Board's needs and other relevant circumstances, and may change the size or composition of the Board of Directors in

the future if it believes that doing so would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

***Executive Sessions of Independent Directors:*** AMG's independent directors regularly meet in scheduled executive

sessions without management present. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the By-laws, Mr. Starr, the

Board Chair, or such other independent director as may be selected, is responsible for presiding over the executive sessions. Each

committee of the Board also meets without management present, in sessions led by the Chair of the relevant committee.

***Board and Committee Self-Assessments and Individual Director Assessments:*** Regular evaluations of the committees

and the full Board of Directors are critical in ensuring the effective functioning of AMG's Board of Directors, including in assessing

candidates for directorship. To this end, the Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee, supported by the Committee,

oversees the annual self-assessment of the Board of Directors and of each committee of the Board of Directors. Directors assess

performance and consider various structural and procedural matters, including the annual selection process for director nominees

and communications and interactions with management generally. In 2025, the Board engaged an independent external advisor to

facilitate the self-assessment process, including by conducting one-on-one interviews with directors. The Nominating and

Governance Committee periodically reviews the format of the Board of Directors and committee self-assessment processes to

ensure that actionable feedback is solicited on the operation of the Board of Directors and director performance. The Nominating

and Governance Committee also oversees annual individual director assessments as part of the recommendation process for

director nominees. The table below provides a general overview of the annual self-assessment and director assessment

processes.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Board and Committee Self-Assessments and Individual Director Assessments | Board and Committee Self-Assessments and Individual Director Assessments |
| **Questionnaire** | •Evaluation questionnaire solicits director feedback on a variety of procedural and substantive topics |
| **Interviews** | •Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee or the independent external advisor, as <br>applicable, conducts one-on-one interviews with each director<br>|
| **Executive Session** | •Executive session discussion of Board and committee self-assessments led by the Chair of the <br>Nominating and Governance Committee and may include the independent external advisor, if <br>applicable<br>|
| **Individual Director Assessments** | •Individual director assessments support an annual evaluation of the Board's composition to ensure that <br>the Board as a whole continues to reflect the appropriate mix of skills and experience<br>|
| **Board Summary** | •Summary of Board and committee self-assessments results presented by the Chair of the Nominating <br>and Governance Committee and/or the independent external advisor, as applicable, followed by a <br>discussion of the full Board<br>|
| **Feedback Incorporated** | •Policies and practices updated as appropriate, as a result of director feedback |

---

***Chief Executive Officer Evaluation:*** The Board Chair oversees an annual performance evaluation of our Chief Executive

Officer. As part of this assessment, the Board Chair solicits director feedback on a variety of performance considerations, including

through a discussion at an executive session of the Board of Directors. The Board Chair then synthesizes the directors' feedback

and discusses the results with our Chief Executive Officer in a one-on-one meeting.

***Director On-Boarding and Training:*** A new independent director joining the Board of Directors undertakes an orientation

program that includes personal briefings by senior management on the Company's operations, strategic plans, financial

statements, governance, and key policies and practices. New directors also undergo in-depth training on the work of each

committee of the Board of Directors. Throughout their tenure on the Board of Directors, each director is expected to maintain the

necessary knowledge and information to perform his or her responsibilities as a director. To assist the directors in understanding

the Company and its industry and maintaining the level of expertise required for directors, the Company may, from time to time,

offer Company-sponsored continuing education programs or presentations, including sessions on select topics during the annual

Board of Directors offsite as well as externally provided training on various topics. Additional training is also provided when a

director assumes a leadership role, such as becoming the chair of a committee.

***Leadership Structure:*** The Company follows best practices with respect to the Board's leadership structure, reflecting

collective feedback received from stockholders, as well as commentary from proxy advisory firms, over a multi-year period. While

the Company does not have a fixed policy with respect to the independence of the Board Chair, the By-Laws provide that if at any

time the Board Chair is not affirmatively determined to be independent, the Board must appoint a Lead Independent Director and

provide for specific enumerated duties of the Lead Independent Director in that circumstance. In circumstances where the Board

Chair is independent (as is the case currently), the Lead Independent Director role is not required. This approach provides for

effective checks and balances to ensure the exercise of independent judgment by the Board and the ability of the independent

directors to work effectively in the board setting.

The Board regularly reviews the leadership structure, and believes that a non-executive, independent Board Chair is an

appropriate and effective leadership structure for the Company at this time. The Board Chair's principal responsibilities include:

coordinating the agenda for and chairing Board meetings; serving as a key source of communication between the independent

directors and the Chief Executive Officer; ensuring the flow of appropriate information to and among independent directors; leading

the annual performance evaluation of the Chief Executive Officer; and coordinating the agenda for and leading executive sessions

and meetings of the independent directors. Loren M. Starr was appointed Board Chair in July 2025, succeeding Dwight D.

Churchill, who continued to serve on the Board through his retirement in September 2025. Mr. Starr has served as an independent

director on our Board of Directors since September 2023, including service on each Board committee during his tenure. Mr. Starr's

knowledge and participation in the development of the Company's corporate strategy during his service on the Board, together with

his commercial acumen, extensive global financial services experience, and capacity as a leader, position him as an effective and

strong independent Board Chair.

Further adding to the refreshment of leadership roles on committees in 2025, Ms. Franqui became Chair of the Audit

Committee, and Dr. Matos Rodríguez became Chair of the Nominating and Governance Committee.

The Board of Directors will continue to review its leadership structure, and may change its structure in the future if it believes

that doing so would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

***Risk Oversight:*** It is a key responsibility of our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer, our General

Counsel, and other members of our senior management team to identify, assess, and manage the Company's risk exposures. The

Board of Directors plays an important role in overseeing management's performance of these functions. The Board of Directors has

approved the charter of the Audit Committee, which provides that one of the primary responsibilities of the Audit Committee is the

discussion of the Company's financial risks and steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks, including with

respect to risk assessment and risk management policies. The Audit Committee regularly discusses with management and the

Company's independent auditors the Company's risk assessment and risk management processes, including major risk exposures,

risk mitigants, and the design and effectiveness of the Company's processes and controls to prevent and detect fraudulent activity.

Furthermore, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors as a whole receive regular reports from management, the internal

audit function, and our independent auditors on prevailing material risks and the actions being taken to mitigate them, including

reports regarding the Company's business and operations. Management also reports to the Audit Committee and the Board of

Directors regarding enhancements made to our risk management processes and controls in light of evolving market, business,

regulatory, and other conditions, including those related to corporate responsibility matters.

***Corporate Responsibility:*** We believe that sound corporate citizenship is a meaningful element of our success and that of

our Affiliates. We are committed to operating with integrity, contributing to the local communities surrounding our global offices,

enhancing our organizational composition, developing our employees, and being thoughtful stewards of natural resources — and

supporting these values in our surrounding communities. We are also focused on the security of our data and safeguarding our

clients' privacy. The Board of Directors provides oversight of these topics, and is committed to supporting the Company's efforts to

operate as a sound corporate citizen. AMG has a cross-functional management committee with oversight responsibility of AMG's

policies and operational controls related to these topics. This committee includes members of our executive management team and

reports to the Nominating and Governance Committee at least annually. We believe that an integrated approach to business

strategy, corporate governance, and corporate citizenship creates long-term value. The below exhibits highlight certain AMG

policies and initiatives in these areas.

company policies. A committee including independent

membership undertakes diligence and review procedures

for donations and has no obligation to follow

senior management<sup>2</sup>

*The statistics and descriptions of our workforce, policies, and cultural initiatives in respect of our human capital relate to AMG's employees, and not* 

*those of our Affiliates, which are independent from AMG and operate autonomously. Through our innovative partnership approach with our* 

*Affiliates, each Affiliate's management team retains operational autonomy in managing and operating their business on a day-to-day basis,* 

*including with respect to their human capital.*

***Cybersecurity and Data Privacy:*** We have a formal information security program, designed to develop and maintain privacy

and data security practices to protect AMG assets and sensitive third-party information, including personal and Affiliate information.

This program is governed by a committee comprising members of senior management, including the Company's Chief Information

Officer, which meets regularly and reports to the Board of Directors at least annually (the "Information Security Governance

Committee"). Members of the Information Security Governance Committee oversee communications with the Board of Directors

regarding material cybersecurity incidents and provide the Board of Directors with a summary of any risks from current

cybersecurity threats on a regular basis, as well as updates on management's information security program oversight and

maintenance activities, and any material changes to AMG's information security practices and procedures. The Board is also

regularly provided with cybersecurity educational sessions, including perspectives from external advisors invited to present on

current cybersecurity topics. In addition to the responsibilities discussed above, the Information Security Governance Committee

also oversees the internal use of generative artificial intelligence technologies and applications.

We recognize the importance of protecting information assets such as the personally identifiable information of our employees,

and proprietary business information regarding our Affiliates and their clients, and have adopted policies, management oversight

and accountability structures, and technology processes designed to safeguard this information. All of our employees are required

to attest annually to our information security policies and participate in regular security awareness training to protect their

information and the AMG data and systems to which they have access. These trainings also instruct employees on how to report

any potential privacy or data security issues.

Our information security organization comprises internal and external resources designed to identify, protect, detect, mitigate,

resolve, and recover from various threats and attacks by malicious actors. We leverage 24x7x365 monitoring tools and services to

address the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of AMG assets and data. Regular internal and third-party reviews are

performed on our processes and technologies to validate the effectiveness of our privacy and data security controls and

safeguards. We monitor industry best practices and developments in data privacy and security and have increased scrutiny of

third-party service providers with access to sensitive AMG data, including through security risk assessments at the time of initial

contract, periodically as part of our third-party risk management process, and upon detection of an increase in the vendor's risk

profile. In addition, we require key providers to meet appropriate security requirements and controls, and we investigate security

incidents that have impacted our third-party providers, as appropriate. We work with third-party service providers to proactively

assess our information security program and provide us with an industry view of the cyberthreat landscape, in addition to

monitoring and supporting our control environment and breach notification processes. We also have our own fully documented

proprietary security incident response plan, with defined roles and responsibilities that address notification obligations and incident

response procedures in the event of a data security breach. We are dedicated to business continuity and resiliency, and we have

documented strategies, policies, and procedures in place designed to protect employee, business, Affiliate, and Affiliate client data

in the event of an emergency or natural disaster.

For more information regarding our information security program, please see our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K under

"Item 1C. Cybersecurity."

***Related Person Transaction and Conflicts of Interest Oversight:*** Pursuant to its charter, the Audit Committee is

responsible for reviewing any related person transaction identified by management or other directors. In accordance with this

authority, the Committee has determined that there have been no related person transactions requiring disclosure under Item

404(a) of Regulation S-K other than those discussed below under the caption "Other Matters—Related Person Transactions." Each

director, officer, and employee of the Company is also subject to our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which sets forth

guidelines to which AMG's directors, officers, and employees are expected to adhere in the conduct of the Company's business,

including with respect to identifying, reporting, and resolving potential or actual conflicts of interest resulting from related person

transactions or otherwise.

***Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Person Transactions:*** The Audit Committee must approve all related person

transactions under the Company's written policy. A related person transaction is any transaction that is reportable by the Company

under paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K in which the Company or one of its wholly owned subsidiaries or majority-owned

Affiliates is or will be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any director, nominee for director,

executive officer, any person known to the Company to be a beneficial owner of 5% or more of its voting securities, or an

immediate family member of any of the foregoing has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Pursuant to the policy,

potential related person transactions are reported to the General Counsel who evaluates the potential transaction to determine

whether it is a potential related person transaction. If it is, the General Counsel reports the potential transaction to the Audit

Committee for review. The policy also authorizes the Chair of the Audit Committee to ratify, rescind, or take any such other action

required with respect to any related person transaction not previously approved or ratified under the policy that comes to the

General Counsel's attention. The policy sets forth the standards of review to be considered in deciding whether to approve or ratify

related person transactions.

In addition, the Audit Committee has considered and adopted standing pre-approvals under the policy for limited transactions

with related persons. Pre-approved transactions include: (i) employment as an executive officer, if the related compensation is

approved (or recommended to the Board of Directors for approval) by the Compensation Committee; (ii) any compensation paid to

a director if the compensation is consistent with the Company's director compensation policies and is required to be reported in the

Company's proxy statement under applicable compensation disclosure requirements; (iii) any transaction with another company at

which a related person's only relationship is as (x) an employee (other than an executive officer) or director, (y) beneficial owner of

less than 10%, together with such related person's immediate family members, of that company's equity, or (z) in the case of

partnerships, a limited partner, if the limited partner, together with such limited partner's immediate family members, has an interest

of less than 10% and the limited partner does not hold another position in the partnership, if, in each case, the aggregate amount

involved does not exceed the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of that company's total annual revenue; (iv) any charitable contribution,

grant, or endowment by the Company or the Company's charitable foundation to a charitable organization, foundation, or university

at which a related person's only relationship is as an employee (other than an executive officer), if the aggregate amount involved

does not exceed the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of such charitable organization's total annual receipts; (v) any transaction where

the related person's interest arises solely from the ownership of the Company's common stock and all holders of the Company's

common stock received the same benefit on a pro rata basis, such as dividends; (vi) any transaction involving a related person

where the rates or charges involved are determined by competitive bids; (vii) indemnification and advancement of expenses made

pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation (as amended, the "Charter") or By-laws, or pursuant to any agreement; and

(viii) any service provided by the Company to any related person, provided that such service is in the ordinary course of business

and on substantially the same terms as those prevailing at the time for comparable services provided to non-related persons.

***Insider Trading Policy and Procedures:*** We maintain an insider trading compliance program consisting of integrated

policies, procedures, controls, and practices, that, together, represent our systematic approach to facilitating the oversight,

management, and mitigation of insider trading risks across our organization. The foundation of this program is the Company's

Insider Trading Policy and Procedures (the "Trading Policy"), which governs the purchase, sale, and/or other disposition of

Company securities by AMG's directors, officers, and employees, each partner, officer, and employee of AMG's subsidiaries and

Affiliates, as well as by the Company itself. We believe the Trading Policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with

insider trading laws, rules, and regulations, and the NYSE listing standards applicable to us. A copy of the Trading Policy was filed

as Exhibit 19 to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

***Prohibition Against Hedging and Pledging Transactions:*** Pursuant to the Trading Policy, all directors, officers, and

employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, including spouses and immediate family members of such persons, are prohibited

from engaging in short sales or any other form of hedging transaction involving Company securities, or other transactions resulting

in net short exposures, as well as from purchasing Company securities on margin, pledging Company securities as collateral for a

loan, or otherwise borrowing against Company securities. We believe our anti-hedging and anti-pledging policies further align our

directors' and our officers' interests with those of our stockholders.

***Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation:*** The members of the Compensation Committee during

fiscal year 2025 include those individuals set forth above under "Compensation Committee." No person who served as a member

of the Compensation Committee during 2025 has been an officer or employee of the Company or has been involved in any related

person transactions. No executive officer of the Company serves on the compensation committee or board of directors of another

company that has an executive officer that serves (or served during 2025) on the Company's Compensation Committee or Board of

Directors.

***Stockholder and Interested Party Communications:*** Stockholders and other interested parties may communicate directly

with the Board of Directors and the Board Chair as follows:

***Availability of Corporate Governance Documents:*** We maintain a Company website that includes, among other items, the

Corporate Governance Guidelines; the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics applicable to all directors, officers, and employees;

the Code of Ethics applicable to our President and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior financial

officers; and the charters for the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance Committees. This information is available

on the "Investor Relations" section of our website, *www.amg.com*, under "Corporate Governance—Policies, Procedures and

Guidelines," or for the Committee charters under "Corporate Governance—Board of Directors," but is not incorporated by reference

into this Proxy Statement. If we make any substantive amendment to the Code of Ethics or grant any waiver, including any implicit

waiver, from a provision of the Code of Ethics to certain executive officers, we are obligated to disclose the nature of such

amendment or waiver, the name of the person to whom any waiver was granted, and the date of waiver on our website or in a

Current Report on Form 8-K.

**COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS**

This section provides discussion and analysis of our executive compensation program, including the elements of executive

compensation, the 2025 compensation results, the rationale and process for reaching these results, and our compensation

governance policies. The compensation results discussed are those of our President and Chief Executive Officer, Jay C. Horgen,

and the other named executive officers. Further, Rizwan M. Jamal, our former Head of Affiliate Investments and Managing Director,

Affiliate Partnerships, served in those positions for part of the 2025 performance year and is therefore not the focus of this

Compensation Discussion and Analysis. Please refer to the "Executive Compensation Tables" of this Proxy Statement for additional

information.

The Compensation Committee designs the executive compensation program to align management incentives with long-term

stockholder interests, and we have a demonstrated history of integrating shareholder feedback into our executive compensation

program for more than a decade. Since 2021, the Committee has determined variable performance-based incentive awards for our

named executive officers, based on objective, pre-set financial and strategic metrics, in consultation with our independent

compensation consultant, Semler Brossy Consulting Group, LLC (our "Compensation Consultant"), and over the past four years

the Committee has continued to integrate shareholder feedback in enhancing the program. The overall result has been a **formulaic** 

**compensation program incorporating an objective, quantitative set of metrics increasingly weighted toward financial** 

**measures over time, with long-duration incentive awards to be delivered based on drivers of shareholder value creation in** 

**which AMG management plays a critical role.**

In 2025, AMG achieved outstanding business results, including record net inflows in alternative strategies, driven by disciplined

execution of our growth strategy. These results included significant momentum in liquid alternatives, which achieved 36%

annualized organic growth, primarily driven by demand for tax-aware solutions in the U.S. wealth marketplace, alongside

institutional demand for alternative return streams. AMG's private markets Affiliates also continued to achieve strong growth,

achieving an 18% annualized organic growth rate, led by fundraising strength at Pantheon as well as fundraising at Ara Partners,

Abacus Capital Group, EIG Global Energy Partners, Forbion, and Montefiore Investment. Alongside strong growth from existing

Affiliates, our team generated strong earnings growth through capital allocation activity in 2025, having completed four new Affiliate

investments, and closing an additional three transactions after year-end. In all seven of these transactions, AMG partnered with

leading independent firms operating in areas of secular growth and client demand. We also continued to invest in and alongside

our Affiliates, including by collaborating closely to develop attractive products, notably alternative strategies for the U.S. wealth

marketplace, in some cases expanding our Affiliates' reach into new geographies and channels, and by seeding and providing

strategic support for new product launches. In addition, through our close collaboration with Affiliate partners toward reaching long-

term strategic objectives, AMG completed the sale of its stakes in three Affiliates, with each transaction delivering a strong outcome

for all stakeholders, including AMG's shareholders, and further enhancing our balance sheet. Proceeds of these transactions were

deployed to support growth investments as well as through the return of significant excess capital to shareholders through share

repurchases.

The disciplined execution of AMG's growth strategy by its senior management team, over a multi-year period drove the

excellent results in 2025 and strong ongoing business momentum. As a result, AMG's stock significantly outperformed the Peer

Group over the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods ended December 31, 2025. AMG stock outperformed the Peer Group median by +49%,

+37%, and +135% in the 1-, 3-, and 5-year periods, respectively. The results of the 2025 Performance Assessment reflected these

achievements and the Company's strong financial performance for the year.

Overview of AMG's Compensation Program Philosophy<br>

The Compensation Committee has structured our executive compensation program over the long term to further several core objectives, which

include the following:

• Attracting, retaining, and motivating key members of senior management

• Closely aligning executive compensation with performance and accomplishments for the year and over the long term

• Aligning AMG executives and other employees with shareholders through share ownership

• Focusing executives on long-term performance with equity incentive awards, with a majority of these awards subject to rigorous pre-

established performance targets measured over forward multi-year periods

• Compensating executives based on a combination of Company performance—on both a relative and absolute basis—and performance in

individual roles

• Avoiding incentives that might encourage excessive risk-taking

• Routinely reviewing and evolving our compensation program to incorporate feedback from stockholders and best practices into our executive

compensation program design

These objectives inform the design of our compensation program, which includes the following components:

• Awarding fixed and variable Annual Incentive Compensation in an appropriate mix to align management incentives with shareholder value

creation

• Performing market comparisons to ensure that our compensation is in line with that of our Peer Group

• Implementing strong compensation governance practices within a robust corporate governance framework

**Shareholder and Proxy Advisory Firm Feedback and Surveys** 

To ensure that the Board of Directors, including the Compensation Committee, is apprised of stockholder and proxy advisory

firm views, we regularly meet with and survey these constituents regarding our executive compensation program. The

Compensation Committee recognizes that in enhancing the compensation program, stockholder input has been and continues to

be critical for ensuring the continued alignment of management and stockholder interests. As part of this process, we conduct

regular outreach initiatives with our largest stockholders throughout the year, and we have a demonstrated history of integrating

shareholder feedback into our executive compensation program design. In 2025, 97% of the votes cast by stockholders supported

our Say-on-Pay proposal, expressing continued strong support for our executive compensation program design and its

demonstrated linkage of pay-for-performance, as well as the significant integration of shareholder feedback.

As in previous years, shareholder feedback gathered throughout the year was carefully considered, along with input from our

Compensation Consultant, as well as commentary and feedback from proxy advisory firms, as described in our "2025

Compensation Program Overview and Enhancements" table on page 6.

**Policies to Promote Director and Officer Equity Ownership**

We believe that equity ownership by AMG's executive officers and directors aligns their interests with those of our

stockholders. AMG has two formal policies designed to promote the long-term accumulation and retention of equity in the Company

by executives and directors. The Equity Holding Policy was first implemented in 2019, and together with the Equity Ownership

Guidelines, represents an industry-leading set of policies to further cultivate an ownership mindset among senior executives, with

direct and substantial alignment with stockholders through ownership of vested, unrestricted shares of AMG stock.

In addition to these formal policies, AMG's directors and executives have demonstrated their commitment to the long-term

accumulation and retention of equity through open market purchases of shares of our common stock on multiple occasions. Since

his May 2019 appointment, Mr. Horgen has purchased 52,000 shares in the open market and today owns 2.2% of AMG's

outstanding common stock. For the shares owned by year since 2023 by our Chief Executive Officer, senior management, and our

Chief Executive Officer, senior management, and current independent directors in the aggregate, please see our "Governance

Highlights" section on page 5.

**Named Executive Officer Annual Compensation Determination Process and Results**

The Compensation Committee's annual compensation determination process begins during Committee meetings early in the

performance year and continues throughout the year, with periodic reviews of the Company's financial performance on both a

relative and absolute basis, and progress on various strategic objectives, as well as discussions regarding the principles and

continuing effectiveness of the compensation program. Our President and Chief Executive Officer may attend such Compensation

Committee meetings at the request of the Committee to participate in discussions concerning the compensation of other members

of executive management, but does not participate in decisions regarding his own compensation, which occur in executive

sessions. In considering whether to retain the Compensation Consultant (Semler Brossy) for assistance with its annual

compensation determination process, the Compensation Committee evaluates the Compensation Consultant's independence in

accordance with SEC and NYSE rules and has determined that the Compensation Consultant's work does not raise any conflicts.

Our Compensation Consultant provides input and advice to the Compensation Committee, and to the Chair of the Committee in

particular, at key points throughout the year, and they meet during the year to consider the executive and director compensation of

the peer companies set forth in this "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section (our "Peer Group") and potential structures for

incentive awards. The Committee considers the components of the compensation program (including the mix of compensation

elements, market-level compensation, and our compensation governance practices) in analyzing the extent to which the program

furthers the Committee's objectives of aligning compensation with shareholder value creation while retaining and motivating our

executives. As discussed above, the Committee also seeks feedback from stockholders and proxy advisory firms in an ongoing

engagement cycle, and takes that feedback into account in both enhancing the compensation program design, as well as in the

Committee's final compensation determinations for the year.

For the applicable performance year, through a formulaic process based on objective performance metrics, the Compensation

Committee considers the Company's accomplishments during the year and over the long term, on both an absolute basis and

relative to our Peer Group, and considers the individual roles of our executive officers, to establish the amount of annual cash

bonus and long-term equity incentive awards ("Annual Incentive Compensation") for each executive. The following provides an

overview of the outcome of the incentive compensation determination process for our President and Chief Executive Officer and

our other named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee sets Target Total Payout amounts for each named executive officer, including for performance

year 2025 a target for the Chief Executive Officer at the median of the CEO compensation of the Peer Group. The result of the

quantitative scorecard assessment drives the incentive award payout to each named executive officer, including quantum (for the

Chief Executive Officer in 2025, above or below the Peer Group median) and mix across short- and long-term incentive awards.

The incentive determination process and ultimate payout structure reflect the Committee's executive compensation program

philosophy of closely aligning management incentives with business performance and long-term stockholder interests. Variable

performance-based incentive awards account for the substantial majority of Annual Incentive Compensation for each executive –

the majority of Annual Incentive Compensation is in the form of equity incentive awards (beginning in performance year 2024, the

delivery of 75% of the grant value of these equity incentive awards is tied to the achievement of rigorous pre-established

performance targets, compared with 60% in prior years).

Having calculated the results of the Performance Assessment scorecard, the Committee reviewed the output from the

weighted average score applied to the target Chief Executive Officer compensation, which produced total incentive compensation

awards for 2025 consistent with the design of the plan, and was limited by the overall cap on Total Compensation that was set as

part of the compensation determination process.

---

The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the metric targets for the quantitative scorecard assessment and, as

appropriate, implements refinements based on shareholder feedback, prevailing macroeconomic and industry conditions, the

Company's business performance and strategic objectives, and other related considerations. Beginning in performance year 2023,

the Compensation Committee implemented a 50% threshold level for both absolute earnings-related metrics, resulting in

Committee-set or natural threshold values applying to 78% of the Performance Assessment scorecard. For performance year 2025,

the Compensation Committee did not implement any changes to the metrics or metric target-setting methodology for the

quantitative scorecard assessment.

The Compensation Committee regularly reviews our Peer Group to ensure its ongoing relevance throughout the various

stages of the Company's growth and evolution, and to reflect on developments among our peers. In determining the Company's

Peer Group on an annual basis, the Compensation Committee applies a principles-based approach in considering both industry-

and company-specific dynamics to identify the peers with which we compete for talent, client assets, and stockholder capital. As a

result, the Committee focuses on peers within the asset management industry, as well as financial services companies with

significant investment management components to their businesses, and does not, for example, include retail or investment banks,

brokerage or custodian firms, or insurance companies. The Committee believes that success in the asset management industry, in

particular, relies heavily on human talent, given the service-oriented and fee-based business model. In addition, the Compensation

Committee recognizes that the companies within our Peer Group vary by business strategy, product concentration, and overall

profitability. The nature of the roles of executives also varies by firm. For example, our senior management team has a

differentiated skill-set in executing our unique business strategy of engaging in long-term partnerships with outstanding

independent, partner-owned investment management firms. The Committee takes Peer Group comparisons into account and also

forms its own perspective on appropriate compensation levels, considering additional factors with respect to unique elements of

AMG officer roles and responsibilities.

For 2025, Total Compensation for our Chief Executive Officer was capped at $17.5 million. The cap, which is reviewed and

considered by the Committee on an annual basis, and confirmed prior to year-end, was unchanged from that set by the Committee

in prior years.

For 2025, the Target Total Payouts set for each other named executive officer was informed by the median of comparable roles

at Peer Group companies, other industry benchmark data as advised by the independent Compensation Consultant, and the

individual executive's role, responsibilities, and tenure at the Company.

In the case of Ms. Ritchea, Chief Financial Officer, the Target Total Payout reflected leadership in AMG's financial functions.

For Ms. Padiyar, General Counsel, the Target Total Payout reflected leadership in corporate legal and regulatory matters.

For Mr. Wojcik, Chief Operating Officer during 2025, the Target Total Payout reflected Mr. Wojcik's leadership in overseeing the

Company's capital formation capabilities and other commercial and strategic areas, and was the median of peer benchmarking

data utilizing similar executive officer roles among AMG's Peer Group.

In an approach aligned with those of prior years, the Compensation Committee applied a notional cap on Total Compensation,

inclusive of Annual Incentive Compensation for each of the named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, which

in performance year 2025 included our Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel, and Chief Operating Officer, of $10.0 million.

Notional caps for all named executed officers are reviewed and considered by the Committee on an annual basis.

The following table displays the 2025 targets and 2025 actual results for each individual metric considered in the

Compensation Committee's scorecard assessment. The scorecard was designed based on financial and strategic metrics that are

expected to drive the performance of the business and share price over time. The Committee implemented a cap of 200% on the

achievement level of each individual metric in addition to an aggregate cap on compensation. A score above 100% implies a

payout above the target level. The final score of 134% incorporated the individual metric caps, and reflected strong financial and

operating performance for performance year 2025, measured against objective pre-determined targets in areas regarded as key

performance indicators by shareholders, and viewed by shareholders as indicative of management's ability to drive shareholder

value creation:

---

The final amount of Annual Incentive Compensation for the President and Chief Executive Officer was then allocated between

cash bonus and long-term equity awards using a pre-established tiered formula, consistent with that used in prior years, in which

the first $5 million in incentive compensation is split as 50% equity and 50% cash, the next $5 million is split as 60% equity and

40% cash, and any incentive compensation thereafter is split as 70% equity and 30% cash. The application of the pre-established

tiered formula resulted in a formulaic cash bonus of $6.5 million (39%) and a formulaic equity incentive award amount of $10.2

million (61%) for the President and Chief Executive Officer. This formulaic equity incentive award amount was granted 25% in the

form of Long-Term Deferred Equity Awards and 75% in the form of Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards, consistent with

the Committee's newly adopted targeted allocations beginning for performance year 2024.

Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards were granted with three-year cliff vesting and are tied to rigorous, transparent

Average ROE targets measured over the three-year performance period. These awards are only deliverable if minimum Average

ROE levels are met (measured over the applicable performance measurement period).

The Compensation Committee reviews the Average ROE target at least annually, and increased the rigor of the target for

awards (achievement levels at which 100% of the shares would be delivered) issued in respect of performance year 2025 to 17–

18%, an increase from 16-17% for 2024. If Average ROE over the measurement periods for such awards is (i) below 11%, no

shares underlying the initial award will be issued and distributed; and (ii) between 11% and 23%, a ratable portion between 40%

and up to a maximum of 150% of the shares underlying the initial award will be issued and distributed.

In March 2025, following her promotion to General Counsel the prior year, the Compensation Committee also granted a one-

time, long-term award of restricted stock units to Ms. Padiyar with a grant date value of $1.5 million, to further align Ms. Padiyar

with the objective of long-term value creation for the Company's stockholders, and enhance retention. As further described in the

"Executive Compensation Tables" section of this Proxy Statement, the award is fully subject to performance-based conditions

based on the Company's level of achievement measured against pre-established performance targets measuring both the

Company's Average ROE and a cumulative EEPS metric over a five-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2029.

**Discussion of Former President & Chief Operating Officer Compensation Determination Process and Results**

Mr. Wojcik provided a full year of service in performance year 2025, serving as Chief Operating Officer for the first five months

of the year, and as President and Chief Operating Officer for the balance of 2025. In June 2025, in connection with his appointment

to President, the Compensation Committee had granted a one-time, long-term award of restricted stock units with a grant date

value of $5 million (fully subject to performance-based conditions), to further align Mr. Wojcik with the objective of long-term value

creation for the Company's stockholders, which was later forfeited as a result of the termination of his employment on March 6,

2026 (see below).

Had Mr. Wojcik remained employed by the Company, he would have been eligible for Total Compensation in respect of

performance year 2025 of up to $11.3 million, including up to $4.7 million in cash bonus and $6.1 million in equity awards, pursuant

to AMG's incentive determination process, subject to limitations including the pre-set cap on Total Compensation, which would have

applied.

However, in February 2026, in connection with the termination of Mr. Wojcik's employment, the Compensation Committee,

following input and guidance from our Compensation Consultant, approved a separation and release agreement which was

subsequently signed by Mr. Wojcik (the "Separation Agreement"), pursuant to which Mr. Wojcik ceased to participate in the

Company's 2025 incentive compensation program and all of Mr. Wojcik's outstanding unvested equity awards (71,629 shares of

the Company's common stock, representing target-level achievement for awards subject to performance conditions) were canceled

and terminated, as of his termination date (March 6, 2026). As consideration for such Separation Agreement, including a general

release of claims in favor of the Company, Mr. Wojcik received $4.3 million in short-term cash bonus compensation in respect of

performance year 2025 as well as certain additional payments as described in the "Executive Compensation Tables – Severance

and Potential Termination and Change in Control Compensation and Benefits" section of this Proxy Statement.

**Summary of Performance Assessment Target Descriptions and Rationale, and 2025 Target-Setting Process**

The following is a summary of the metrics utilized in the Performance Assessment scorecard, including the rationale for

including each metric and the methodology used in setting the individual metric targets. In setting the targets for the revised

quantitative scorecard during the first half of the year, the Compensation Committee employed a disciplined methodology, relying

on informed views of performance expectations.

**Risk Considerations in our Compensation Program** 

The Compensation Committee has discussed the concept of risk as it relates to our compensation program with our

management team and with our Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee does not believe that the goals or the

underlying philosophy of our compensation program encourage excessive or inappropriate risk-taking, or create risks that are

reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Throughout our compensation program, compensation is aligned with long-term stockholder interests and increases in

shareholder value. The named executive officers' salaries are fixed in amount and typically account for a relatively small minority of

their Total Compensation. For 2025, all Annual Incentive Compensation for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer,

the General Counsel, and the former Chief Operating Officer, was determined by applying the result of the Performance

Assessment, which links incentive award payouts to pre-established performance targets (with caps on the scoring of individual

metrics) to a peer-benchmarked pay target, and the Total Compensation of each named executive officer was subject to a

maximum payout. The Compensation Committee also reviews the output of the scorecard and the resulting incentive

compensation to ensure that the output is consistent with the intent and design of the plan. The Committee could apply incremental

discretion (including negative discretion) for a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, a result inconsistent with the plan

intent and design, factors that arise after establishing the Peer Group, payout targets, and scorecard metrics earlier in the year,

individual performance, or other considerations. No discretion was applied by the Committee in 2025. Annual Incentive

Compensation is then allocated between cash bonus and long-term equity awards using a pre-established tiered formula, resulting

in formulaic cash bonus and equity incentive award amounts. In addition, a substantial portion of executive compensation is in the

form of equity incentive awards, a majority of which are subject to specific pre-established performance targets, which further aligns

executives' interests with those of our stockholders. We believe that these awards do not encourage excessive or inappropriate

risk-taking given that the value of the awards is tied to the Company's performance, and the awards are subject to long-term

vesting schedules to help ensure that executives have significant value tied to long-term performance.

**Clawback Policies**

To further ensure the alignment of compensation with long-term performance, we maintain a clawback policy that allows for the

recoupment of performance-based compensation from executive officers in the event of a material restatement of our financial

results due to a material error within three years of the original reporting. In the event of such occurrence, the Board of Directors

will review the facts and circumstances that led to the restatement and will take such actions as deemed necessary and

appropriate (such as the possible recoupment of incentive compensation of one or more executive officers).

In addition to the Company's rights of recoupment outlined above, the Board of Directors also adopted the Affiliated Managers

Group, Inc. Clawback Policy (the "NYSE Clawback Policy"), effective as of October 16, 2023, in order to comply with the applicable

provisions of Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the listing standards of

the NYSE. The NYSE Clawback Policy subjects any incentive-based compensation paid to an executive officer after October 2,

2023 to recoupment if and to the extent the same was paid on the basis of financial results in respect of any of the three most

recently completed fiscal years, which results were later restated.

**Equity Grant Policy** 

We grant all equity awards, including stock options, under the terms of an equity grant policy. Pursuant to the policy, the

Compensation Committee generally grants equity awards to our named executive officers in the first quarter, and to directors in the

first quarter and in the third quarter, although the Committee retains discretion to grant awards at other times during the year. If the

date of a Committee approval of an equity grant falls within a regularly scheduled quarterly blackout period under the Trading

Policy, the awards will not become effective and are not priced until the closing of the last day of the blackout period following the

public release of our earnings results for the prior quarter and/or year, as applicable. In all other cases, the effective grant date of

any equity awards will be the date of the relevant Committee meeting or written consent.

We do not have any program, plan, or practice to time equity awards to employees or directors in coordination with the release

of material non-public information.

**Tax Deductibility of Compensation** 

The availability of tax deductions for cash and equity compensation is one of many factors that the Compensation Committee

considers in designing a compensation program that is intended to attract and retain executive talent and to reward our named

executive officers for their contributions to the success of the Company.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in

excess of $1 million paid to any "covered employee" of a publicly held corporation (generally the corporation's chief executive

officer, chief financial officer, and its next three most highly compensated executive officers, in the year that the compensation is

paid). The Compensation Committee is committed to maintaining a compensation program and establishing compensation levels

that take tax consequences into account, and will continue to consider these issues, while prioritizing a focus on attracting and

retaining executive talent and aligning management incentives with long-term stockholder interests.

**Compensation Committee Report** 

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed this Compensation Discussion and Analysis with our management

team. Based on its review and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of

Directors that this Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

**EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION TABLES**

The following tables provide information regarding the compensation arrangements for the years indicated with respect to the

Company's Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other executive officers during the fiscal year ended December 31,

2025 (collectively, the "named executive officers").

Equity awards granted in March 2026 in recognition of performance during fiscal year 2025 do not appear in the following

Summary Compensation Table or the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table because SEC rules require equity awards to be reported

in these tables in the fiscal year of grant, even in the case of awards intended to compensate executives for performance in a prior

year. For information on the equity awards granted in March 2026 in recognition of 2025 performance, please refer to the

discussion in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement.

(1)For 2025, amounts represent performance-based cash bonuses awarded in recognition of performance in 2025, determined using the

Performance Assessment scorecard and framework, applying a formulaic score to Target Total Payout levels set based on peer

benchmarking, and allocating between cash bonus and long-term equity awards using a pre-established tiered formula, as more fully

described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement. For Mr. Wojcik, the Compensation Committee

determined that Mr. Wojcik would be paid his 2025 performance-based cash bonus so long as he signed, and did not revoke, a general

release of claims in favor of the Company in connection with his termination of employment. Mr. Jamal did not receive a performance-based

cash bonus for performance year 2025.

(2)For 2025, "All Other Compensation" consisted of, for each named executive officer other than Mr. Jamal, (i) contributions to a 401(k) profit-

sharing or similar pension plan in the amount of $21,000, (ii) medical benefits and long-term disability insurance premiums, and (iii) tax

preparation services. Mr. Jamal's "All Other Compensation" for 2025 consisted of long-term disability insurance premiums. The Company

does not provide tax reimbursements for any perquisite. The Company's executive officers may invest from time to time in Affiliate funds or

products under arrangements described in "Other Matters – Related Person Transactions" at no incremental cost to the Company.

(3)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value (computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of the following equity incentive awards

consisting of restricted stock units granted under the Company's 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2020 Stock Plan") in March 2025 in

recognition of performance in 2024: (i) 2024 Long-Term Deferred Equity Awards granted to Mr. Horgen, Ms. Ritchea, Ms. Padiyar, Mr.

Wojcik, and Mr. Jamal with grant date fair values of $2,241,750, $398,500, $214,250, $977,750, and $1,750,000, respectively, and (ii) 2024

Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards granted to Mr. Horgen, Ms. Ritchea, Ms. Padiyar, and Mr. Wojcik with grant date fair values of

$6,725,250, $1,195,500, $642,750, and $2,933,250, respectively. The portions of the 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards

that will be eligible to vest will be determined based on the Company's level of achievement measured against pre-established performance

targets measuring the Company's Average ROE, as defined in "2025 Compensation Program Overview and Enhancements" on page 6, and

aggregate annual EEPS ("Cumulative EEPS"), each over a four-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2028. If Average ROE is

below 10% for the measurement period, no shares underlying the initial award will be issued and distributed. If Average ROE is between

10% and 22% for the measurement period, a ratable portion between 40% and up to a maximum of 150% of the shares underlying the initial

award will be issued and distributed, with 100% of the shares underlying the initial award issued and distributed if an Average ROE of

between 16% and 17% is achieved. If Average ROE over the measurement period is at least 10%, an additional ratable portion between

25% and up to a maximum of 50% of the shares underlying the initial award, based on Cumulative EEPS of at least $88 per share and up to

or exceeding $95 per share for the measurement period, will be issued and distributed, subject to an aggregate cap of 200% of the shares

underlying the initial award. The grant date fair value of the 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards assumes that the midpoint

level of Average ROE will be achieved, and that the minimum Cumulative EEPS will not be achieved. For details on the assumptions made

in the valuation of these and the other awards described herein, see the "Share-Based Compensation" note to the Consolidated Financial

Statements included in the Company's 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(4)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value (computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of the following equity incentive awards

consisting of restricted stock units granted under the 2020 Stock Plan in March 2024 in recognition of performance in 2023: (i) 2023 Long-

Term Deferred Equity Awards granted to Mr. Horgen, Ms. Padiyar, Mr. Wojcik, and Mr. Jamal with grant date fair values of $2,490,000,

$346,500, $1,020,000, and $1,020,000, respectively, and (ii) 2023 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards granted to Mr. Horgen, Ms.

Padiyar, Mr. Wojcik, and Mr. Jamal with grant date fair values of $3,736,000, $231,000, $1,519,000, and $1,519,000, respectively. The

portions of the 2023 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards that will be eligible to vest will be determined based on the Company's

level of achievement measured against pre-established performance targets measuring the Company's Average ROE over a three-year

measurement period ending on December 31, 2026. If Average ROE is below 10% for the measurement period, no shares underlying the

initial award will be issued and distributed. If Average ROE is between 10% and 22% for the measurement period, a ratable portion between

40% and up to a maximum of 150% of the shares underlying the initial award will be issued and distributed, with 100% of the shares

underlying the initial award issued and distributed if an Average ROE of between 16% and 17% is achieved. The grant date fair value of the

2023 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards assumes that the midpoint level of Average ROE will be achieved.

(5)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value (computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of the following equity incentive awards

consisting of restricted stock units granted under the 2020 Stock Plan in March 2023 in recognition of performance in 2022: (i) 2022 Long-

Term Deferred Equity Awards granted to Mr. Horgen, Mr. Wojcik, and Mr. Jamal with grant date fair values of $3,147,000, $1,225,000, and

$1,239,000, respectively, (ii) 2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards (three-year cliff vesting) granted to Mr. Horgen, Mr. Wojcik,

and Mr. Jamal with grant date fair values of $2,921,500, $1,138,000, and $1,150,000, respectively, and (iii) 2022 Long-Term Performance

Achievement Awards (five-year cliff vesting) granted to Mr. Horgen, Mr. Wojcik, and Mr. Jamal with grant date fair values of $2,921,500,

$1,138,000, and $1,150,000, respectively. The portions of each of the 2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards (three-year cliff

vesting) and the 2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards (five-year cliff vesting) that will be eligible to vest will be determined

based on the Company's level of achievement measured against pre-established performance targets measuring the Company's Average

ROE over a three-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2025, and over a five-year measurement period ending on December

31, 2027, respectively. If Average ROE is below 10% for each of the three- or five-year measurement periods, no shares underlying the

applicable initial award will be issued and distributed. If Average ROE is between 10% and 22% for each of the three- or five-year

measurement periods, a ratable portion between 40% and up to a maximum of 150% of the shares underlying the applicable initial award

will be issued and distributed, with 100% of the shares underlying the applicable initial award issued and distributed if an Average ROE of

between 16% and 17% is achieved. The grant date fair value of each of the 2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards (three-year

cliff vesting) and 2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards (five-year cliff vesting) assumes that the midpoint level of Average ROE

will be achieved.

(6)Ms. Ritchea joined the Company in April 2024 and, therefore, no compensation is included in the table for 2023.

(7)In May 2024, Ms. Ritchea received the following one-time retention and make-whole awards under the 2020 Stock Plan in connection with

the commencement of her employment: (i) Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (three-year cliff vesting) with a grant date fair value

(computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of $2,625,000 (the "May 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (three-year

cliff vesting)") and (ii) Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (five-year cliff vesting) with a grant date fair value (computed in

accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of $875,000 (the "May 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (five-year cliff vesting)").

The portions of each of the May 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (three-year cliff vesting) and the May 2024 Long-Term

Performance Achievement Award (five-year cliff vesting) that will be eligible to vest will be determined based on the Company's level of

achievement measured against pre-established performance targets measuring the Company's Average ROE over a three-year

measurement period ending on December 31, 2026, and over a five-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2028, respectively.

If Average ROE is equal to or less than 11% for each of the three- or five-year measurement periods, 50% of the shares underlying the

applicable initial award will be issued and distributed. If Average ROE is between 12% and 22% for each of the three- or five-year

measurement periods, a ratable portion between 60% and up to a maximum of 150% of the shares underlying the applicable initial award

will be issued and distributed, with 100% of the shares underlying the applicable initial award issued and distributed if an Average ROE of

between 16% and 17% is achieved. The grant date fair value of each of the May 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (three-

year cliff vesting) and the May 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (five-year cliff vesting) assumes that the midpoint level of

Average ROE will be achieved.

(8)Ms. Padiyar was first designated an executive officer of the Company in April 2024 and, therefore, no compensation is included in the table

for 2023.

(9)In March 2025, Ms. Padiyar received a one-time award of restricted stock units under the 2020 Stock Plan, with a grant date fair value

(computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of $1,500,000, to further align Ms. Padiyar with the objective of long-term value

creation for the Company's stockholders and enhance retention (the "March 2025 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award"). The

portions of the March 2025 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award that will be eligible to vest will be determined based on the

Company's level of achievement measured against pre-established performance targets measuring the Company's Average ROE and

Cumulative EEPS over a five-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2029. If Average ROE is equal to or less than 17% for the

five-year measurement period, 100% of the shares underlying the initial award will be issued and distributed. If Average ROE is between

17% and equal to or greater than 22% for the five-year measurement period, a ratable portion between 100% and up to a maximum of 150%

stockholders. All of Mr. Wojcik's outstanding unvested equity awards (including the entire award discussed herein and the portion of the

other equity awards discussed above in footnotes (3), (4), and (5)) that remained unvested as of Mr. Wojcik's termination on March 6, 2026,

conditions and compliance with certain covenants.

(1)Represents the range of performance-based cash bonus opportunities for performance year 2025. The amounts presented above are

calculated using the Performance Assessment scorecard and framework, applying a pre-established tiered formula allocating between cash

bonus and long-term equity awards, subject to payout caps, to the overall Target Total Payout, which is set based on peer benchmarking, and

the maximum possible Annual Incentive Compensation amount; both amounts are inclusive of all cash and equity compensation. The amounts

reported in the (i) "Target" sub-column reflect the application of an assumed Performance Assessment score of 100% and (ii) "Maximum" sub-

column reflect the application of individual payout caps. Actual amounts earned for performance in 2025 are included in the "Non-Equity

Incentive Plan Compensation" column of the Summary Compensation Table above. AMG's Annual Incentive Compensation determination

process is more fully described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement. For Mr. Wojcik, the

Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Wojcik would be paid his 2025 performance-based cash bonus so long as he signed, and did

not revoke, a general release of claims in favor of the Company in connection with his termination of employment. Mr. Jamal did not receive a

performance-based cash bonus for performance year 2025.

(2)Represents 2024 Long-Term Deferred Equity Awards granted in March 2025 under the 2020 Stock Plan in recognition of performance in 2024,

vesting in four equal installments on March 5, 2026, 2027, 2028, and 2029, subject to continued employment through each vesting date (with

certain limited exceptions in the case of death, disability, Retirement, or certain terminations of employment in connection with a change in

control. To be eligible for "Retirement," the named executive officer must (a) have completed at least 120 months (10 years) of service, provided

that if the individual has reached the age of 60 years, such service requirement shall be reduced to 96 months (8 years) of service, and (b)

have a number of completed months of service plus age in months that, when summed, equals at least 780 months (65 years). Upon

Retirement, qualifying awards continue to vest post-termination in accordance with the original schedule, subject to any applicable performance

conditions and compliance with certain covenants). The grant date fair value has been computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. All

of Mr. Wojcik's outstanding unvested equity awards (including portions of the equity award discussed herein) that remained unvested as of Mr.

Wojcik's termination on March 6, 2026 were canceled and terminated on that date in connection with the termination of Mr. Wojcik's

employment. Mr. Jamal was eligible for Retirement, and therefore qualifying awards (including the equity award discussed herein) have

continued to vest post-termination in accordance with the original schedule, subject to any applicable performance conditions and compliance

with certain covenants.

(3)Represents 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards granted in March 2025 under the 2020 Stock Plan in recognition of

performance in 2024, vesting in full on March 5, 2029, subject to continued employment through the vesting date (with certain limited

exceptions in the case of death, disability, Retirement, certain terminations of employment in connection with a change in control, or

terminations of employment other than for cause or by the employee for good reason). As further described in the Summary Compensation

Table above, the number of shares of common stock of the Company underlying each 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award that

may be issued and distributed for each restricted stock unit is based on the Company's level of achievement measured against pre-established

performance targets measuring the Company's Average ROE and Cumulative EEPS over a four-year measurement period ending on

December 31, 2028. The grant date fair value has been computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and assumes that the midpoint

level of Average ROE will be achieved, and that the minimum Cumulative EEPS will not be achieved. All of Mr. Wojcik's outstanding unvested

equity awards (including the entire award discussed herein) that remained unvested as of Mr. Wojcik's termination on March 6, 2026 were

canceled and terminated on that date in connection with the termination of Mr. Wojcik's employment.

(4)Represents the March 2025 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award granted in March 2025 under the 2020 Stock Plan, vesting in full on

March 5, 2030, subject to continued employment through the vesting date (with certain limited exceptions in the case of death, disability, certain

terminations of employment in connection with a change in control, or terminations of employment other than for cause or by the employee for

good reason). As further described in the Summary Compensation Table above, the number of shares of common stock of the Company

underlying the March 2025 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award that may be issued and distributed for each restricted stock unit is

based on the Company's level of achievement measured against pre-established performance targets measuring the Company's Average ROE

and Cumulative EEPS over a five-year measurement period ending on December 31, 2029. The grant date fair value has been computed in

accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, and assumes that the midpoint level of Average ROE will be achieved, and that the minimum

Cumulative EEPS will not be achieved.

(5)Represents the one-time award of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Wojcik in June 2025 under the 2020 Stock Plan, with a grant date fair

value (computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of $5,000,000, vesting in March 2030 and fully subject to performance-based

conditions, in connection with Mr. Wojcik's appointment as President. All of Mr. Wojcik's outstanding unvested equity awards (including the

entire award discussed herein) that remained unvested as of Mr. Wojcik's termination on March 6, 2026 were canceled and terminated on that

date in connection with the termination of Mr. Wojcik's employment.

calendar year or for the applicable performance year. To calculate "Compensation Actually Paid to PEO" and "Average Compensation

Actually Paid to Other NEOs," the below adjustments were made to total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table.

The adjustments were calculated according to the prescribed method determined by the SEC for the calculation of Compensation Actually

Paid for the periods presented. For equity awards with performance-based vesting conditions, fair value as of the applicable year-end is

based on the probable outcome of such conditions as of year-end. There were no other assumptions made in the valuation of equity awards

that differ materially from those disclosed at the time of grant.

(3)For 2025 and 2024, represents the average total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for Ms. Ritchea, Ms.

Padiyar, Mr. Wojcik, and Mr. Jamal. For 2023, represents the average total compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table

for Mr. Wojcik, Mr. Jamal, and John R. Erickson, Co-Head of Affiliate Engagement. For each of 2022 and 2021, represents the average total

compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table for Mr. Wojcik, Mr. Jamal, Mr. Erickson, and David M. Billings, former

General Counsel and Secretary.

(4)Reflects the TSR of the S&P MidCap 400 index, which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation

S-K included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(5)Economic earnings per share, or EEPS, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Additional information on non-GAAP financial performance

measures, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, can be found in AMG's 2025 Annual Report on Form

10-K (or, with respect to amounts above for 2022 and 2021, AMG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,

2024 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2023, respectively) under "Supplemental Financial Performance

Measures."

(6)For 2025, 2024 and 2021, "Compensation Actually Paid to PEO" and "Average Compensation Actually Paid to Other NEOs" reflect the

strong appreciation of AMG's stock price during such years, and the consequent increase in value of outstanding awards, driven by the value

of the one-time special Long-Term Equity Alignment Awards granted in 2019.

**Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid ("CAP") and Performance Measures**

The following exhibits reflect the relationship between "Compensation Actually Paid to PEO" and "Average Compensation

Actually Paid to Other NEOs" and the performance measures shown in the above Pay Versus Performance Table during the five

most recently-completed fiscal years:

**CAP vs. Company and Peer Group TSR**<br>

**CAP vs. EEPS**<br>

![28662](amg-20260417_g62.gif)

**Pay Ratio** 

SEC rules permit identification of our median employee once every three years, provided there has been no material change in

our employee population or employee compensation arrangements that we believe would significantly impact our pay ratio

disclosure. Accordingly, we have calculated our pay ratio disclosure based on our median employee identified as of December 31,

2024. We selected such median employee by analyzing the compensation of each of our employees who were employed by the

Company as of December 31, 2024, excluding our President and Chief Executive Officer, with each employee's compensation

calculated by reference to their fixed cash compensation for the year ended December 31, 2024, derived from payroll and other

Company records. We did not make any cost of living or other adjustments to these amounts, and did not exclude non-U.S.

employees. We annualized total compensation for full-time employees that joined the Company during 2024 or had an unpaid

leave of absence during the year. For purposes of this analysis, we included all full- and part-time employees at the Company and

at subsidiaries of the Company where we control the compensation determinations for the subsidiary's employees.

The total annual compensation of our President and Chief Executive Officer for 2025, as reported in the "Total" column of the

Summary Compensation Table, was $16,311,950. The total annual compensation of our median employee for 2025, calculated on

the same basis as the Summary Compensation Table, was $212,241. The ratio of our Chief Executive Officer's total annual

compensation for 2025 to our median employee's total annual compensation for 2025 was 77 to 1.

We believe executive pay should be internally consistent and equitable to motivate our employees to create shareholder value.

We are committed to internal pay equity, and the Compensation Committee monitors the relationship between the pay our

executive officers receive and the pay our other employees receive.

**Director Compensation**

Equity grant determinations for independent directors are made consistent with the Compensation Committee's philosophy

that compensation should be directly linked to shareholder value creation. Multiple directors have elected to defer cash service

fees, with such deferred amounts credited to an AMG stock tracking fund and delivered in shares of AMG common stock.

As part of our director compensation program design, our Compensation Consultant regularly provides a review of director

compensation in the broad peer universe and in our Peer Group. This analysis includes data on total compensation for directors at

such peer companies, as well as on the individual components of that compensation, such as annual retainers, meeting fees, and

equity awards. Our Compensation Consultant also provides comparative data from time to time on compensation by board position

(such as committee chairs, board chairs, and lead directors) at such companies, and on trends in director compensation. In

determining compensation levels for the Company's independent directors for 2025, the Compensation Committee deemed it

appropriate to align overall compensation with directors at companies within our Peer Group, with equity compensation linked to

shareholder value proportionately higher on a relative basis, which is reflected in the compensation paid in 2025. Further,

consistent with current best practices, our 2020 Stock Plan sets a cap on equity awards granted to any independent director in any

calendar year of a maximum total grant date fair value of $500,000.

The table below sets forth the current annual compensation levels for AMG's independent directors. The Chair of each

committee receives the annual Chair fee in lieu of the committee fee. Directors do not receive additional fees for attending

meetings. All equity awards are granted in accordance with the terms of the Company's equity grant policy, and vesting of the

awards is deferred over a one-year period.

**Director Compensation in Fiscal Year 2025**

The following table sets forth information regarding the compensation earned by the Company's independent directors in 2025.

For compensation information with respect to Mr. Horgen and his services as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer,

please see the Summary Compensation Table and other accompanying compensation tables. Mr. Horgen receives no additional

compensation for his services as a director. In addition, G. Staley Cates was appointed to our Board of Directors effective as of

April 1, 2026, and, therefore, did not receive any compensation for service as a director in 2025 and is not included in the table

below.

(1)Represents annual Board and Committee fees earned by independent directors in fiscal year 2025. Amounts shown in the table are not

reduced to reflect each of Lady Alvingham's, Mr. Ryan's, and Mr. Starr's election to defer receipt of such director's cash service fees under

the Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the Deferred Compensation Plan, an independent director may elect to defer all or part of the cash

we would otherwise pay such director, with such deferred amounts credited to an AMG stock tracking fund and delivered in shares of the

Company's common stock. All amounts deferred under the Deferred Compensation Plan are only distributable upon termination of the

director's Board service. Mr. Churchill and Mr. Jeffery retired from the Board of Directors in September 2025 and January 2025, respectively,

and their annual Board and Committee fees reflect partial service during the year. Ms. Engel was appointed to the Board of Directors in

September 2025, and her annual Board fees were prorated accordingly.

(2)Represents the aggregate grant date fair value (computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) of restricted stock unit awards granted

to independent directors in 2025. On February 6, 2025 and July 31, 2025, the Company granted restricted stock unit awards with grant date

fair values of $100,142 and $100,108, respectively, to each independent director then serving on the Board of Directors. Ms. Engel received

a restricted stock unit award on November 3, 2025 with a grant date fair value of $51,055, which was prorated for her service in 2025. On

February 6, 2025, the Company also granted Mr. Churchill, who served as Board Chair in 2025, additional restricted stock unit awards with a

grant date fair value of $41,847, representing the annual Board Chair fee, prorated for his service as Board Chair beginning in January 2025.

On July 31, 2025, the Company also granted Mr. Starr an additional restricted stock unit award with a grant date fair value of $50,159,

representing the annual Board Chair fee, prorated for his service as Board Chair beginning in July 2025. Restricted stock unit awards

granted in 2025 (except for Ms. Engel's November 2025 award, which vests in full on March 5, 2027) vest in full over a one-year period

ending on March 5, 2026 and August 15, 2026, respectively, subject to continued service through the vesting date (with certain limited

exceptions in the case of death, disability, or certain terminations, including retirement). The number of restricted stock units subject to each

award is determined based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the applicable grant date, with each stock unit

representing the right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. Restricted stock unit awards participate in cash dividends

declared by the Company, the payment of which is deferred until delivery of the shares and is forfeited if the requisite service period is not

satisfied. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate unvested portion of restricted stock units (measured in shares of common stock) held by

the independent directors then serving on the Board of Directors was as follows: Lady Alvingham: 4,576; Ms. Engel: 199; Ms. Franqui:

1,025; Dr. Matos Rodríguez: 2,039; Ms. Palandjian: 2,837; Mr. Ryan: 4,717; Mr. Starr: 3,014. Following Lady Alvingham's and Mr. Churchill's

retirements from the Board of Directors in April 2026 and September 2025, respectively, in accordance with the terms of the respective

award agreements, each of their unvested restricted stock units granted in 2025 qualified for retirement treatment and has vested or will

continue to vest, as applicable.

(3)No stock option awards were granted to independent directors in 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the number of shares of common stock

subject to stock options held by each of the independent directors then serving on the Board of Directors was as follows: Lady Alvingham:

1,195; Dr. Matos Rodríguez: 1,195; Ms. Palandjian: 6,392; Mr. Ryan: 559; Ms. Engel, Ms. Franqui, Mr. Starr: 0.

(4)Represents matching contributions to eligible non-profit organizations under the AMG gift-matching program that covers non-employee

directors, as well as Company employees.

(5)Effective as of the completion of Mr. Ryan's full elected term on our Board of Directors following the Annual Meeting, the Compensation

Committee has approved the acceleration of all of Mr. Ryan's outstanding and unvested restricted stock unit awards granted prior to fiscal

year 2024, to the extent outstanding on, and outstanding for at least one year as of, the Annual Meeting. Effective as of Lady Alvingham's,

Mr. Churchill's, and Mr. Jeffery's retirements from the Board of Directors in April 2026, September 2025, and January 2025, respectively,

consistent with the Compensation Committee's intent for unvested equity awards of a retiring director granted prior to the Compensation

Committee's revisions to the director compensation program in January 2024 (i.e., providing for one-year vesting of equity awards), the

Compensation Committee approved the acceleration of all of Lady Alvingham's, Mr. Churchill's, and Mr. Jeffery's outstanding and unvested

restricted stock unit awards and stock options granted prior to 2024 (other than those that accelerated automatically pursuant to the terms of

such awards, as applicable), and extended the exercise period for their outstanding stock options until the earlier of the second anniversary

of the dates of their respective retirements and the remaining term of the awards, as applicable. In addition to the amounts listed in the table,

the total aggregate incremental fair value (computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718) associated with the extended exercise period

of stock options held by Mr. Churchill and Mr. Jeffery was $46,231 and $29,129, respectively.

**Severance and Potential Termination and Change in Control Compensation and Benefits**

We do not have individual change in control agreements with any named executive officer or director, and possible changes in

control are addressed through the acceleration of vesting of equity in specific circumstances. Upon the participant's death or

disability, or a change in control of the Company, outstanding equity awards vesting pursuant to the Company's incentive plans

would be accelerated for our named executive officers, as well as for our employees, provided that in the event of a change in

control there was also a termination of employment without cause or for good reason (i.e., a "double trigger"). In the event of the

participant's death or disability, or a change in control (assuming that the double trigger has been met), as of 2025 year-end,

awards held by our current named executive officers would have accelerated as set forth below. Additionally, upon a participant's

Retirement, provided the participant meets applicable criteria, the participant's qualifying awards would continue to vest post-

termination in accordance with the original schedule, and qualifying stock option awards would remain exercisable until the earlier

of two years following exercisability or the original expiration date, in each case, subject to any applicable performance conditions

and compliance with certain covenants. Further, in the event of the participant's termination of employment other than for cause or

by the participant for good reason, the participant's non-retirement eligible, qualifying cliff-vesting performance-based awards would

be accelerated on a pro rata basis, subject to one-year minimum service during the vesting period.

The market value amounts in the table have been calculated using a share price of $288.28, which was the closing price of our

common stock as of the last business day of 2025. No amount would have been payable as of 2025 year-end with respect to the

2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards (three-year cliff vesting), the 2022 Long-Term Performance Achievement

Awards (five-year cliff vesting), the 2023 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards, the May 2024 Long-Term Performance

Achievement Award (three-year cliff vesting), the May 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award (five-year cliff vesting),

the 2024 Long-Term Performance Achievement Awards, the March 2025 Long-Term Performance Achievement Award, or the one-

time award of restricted stock units granted to Mr. Wojcik in June 2025, because such awards remained subject to performance-

based vesting conditions as of such date.

We do not have employment agreements with any of our named executive officers. Each named executive officer is subject to

restrictive covenants that prohibit them from competing with the Company or working for a competing business, and from soliciting

certain of our employees, for up to two years following such officer's separation from the Company. Furthermore, each named

executive officer is subject to restrictive covenants that prohibit them, for one year following such officer's separation from the

Company, from soliciting persons or entities that were clients at the time of or in the two years immediately prior to their separation,

or that were prospective clients in the year immediately prior to their separation.

As further discussed in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Discussion of Former President & Chief Operating

Officer Compensation Determination Process and Results" section of this Proxy Statement, pursuant to the Separation Agreement,

Mr. Wojcik received $4.3 million in short-term cash bonus compensation in respect of performance year 2025. Additionally, the

Separation Agreement, which includes provisions addressing non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality, and related matters,

provides for certain supplemental payments to Mr. Wojcik in 2026 totaling an additional $725,000, and that he is eligible to receive

an additional one-time cash payment of $11,050,000 which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of 2027, subject to Mr.

Wojcik's satisfactory fulfillment of ongoing obligations to the Company (including with respect to engagement in competitive

activity). Mr. Wojcik will not otherwise receive any long-term or short-term incentive compensation for performance years 2025 or

2026, and as of his termination date (March 6, 2026), all of his then-outstanding unvested equity awards (71,629 shares of the

Company's common stock, representing target-level achievement for awards subject to performance conditions) were canceled

and terminated.

(1)Consists of the 2020 Stock Plan, the 2013 Stock Plan, and the Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Equity awards

granted under the 2020 Stock Plan during 2025 represent less than 1% of the shares of our common stock outstanding at the time of

stockholder approval of the 2020 Plan (assuming achievement of performance hurdles at target levels). Unvested options are reflected at

target payout levels.

(2)Consists of the Amended and Restated 2002 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. The shares available for issuance under this plan may be

issued pursuant to stock option awards, deferred stock awards, restricted stock awards, unrestricted stock awards, restricted stock unit

awards, performance share awards, or dividend equivalent rights.

**PROPOSAL 2: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION**

In accordance with the requirements of Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are again providing for a non-binding, advisory

vote for stockholders to approve the compensation of our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, pursuant

to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.

While this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee value

the views of our stockholders, and will continue to consider, among other factors, the outcome of the vote when making future

compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

In considering your vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, please review the "Compensation Discussion

and Analysis" section of this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the Company's executive

compensation program and the decisions that the Compensation Committee made with respect to the compensation of our named

executive officers.

Our executive compensation program is designed to enable the Company to attract, motivate, and retain key persons while, at

the same time, creating a close relationship between performance and compensation. The Company regularly reviews its

compensation program and the overall compensation package paid to each of its named executive officers, including through the

engagement of an independent compensation consultant, to assess risk and to ensure that the program is structured appropriately

in order to achieve the Company's strategic goals.

Approval of the advisory vote on executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common

stock cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on this proposal.

**Recommendation of the Board of Directors** 

The Board of Directors recommends that the Company's stockholders vote **FOR** the approval, on an advisory basis, of the

compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K.

**PROPOSAL 3: RATIFICATION OF THE** 

**SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM** 

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has selected PwC as the Company's independent registered public accounting

firm for the current fiscal year, subject to ratification by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting. PwC has acted as the

Company's independent registered public accounting firm since the Company's inception. The Company has been advised by PwC

that it is a registered public accounting firm with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the "PCAOB") and complies with

the auditing, quality control, and independence standards and rules of the PCAOB and the SEC. A representative of PwC is

expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and to make a statement if they so desire.

Although stockholder ratification of the selection of PwC is not required, the Board of Directors is nevertheless submitting the

selection of PwC to the stockholders for ratification. Should the selection not be ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee

will reconsider the matter. Even in the event the selection of PwC is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the

appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a

change is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

Ratification of the selection of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm for the current fiscal year requires the

affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock cast at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions will have no effect on this

proposal.

**Recommendation of the Board of Directors** 

The Board of Directors believes that the selection of PwC as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm is

in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and, therefore, recommends that the Company's stockholders vote **FOR** 

this proposal.

**AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT** 

The Audit Committee's purpose is to assist the Board of Directors in oversight of the Company's internal controls and financial

statements and the audit process. The Board of Directors has determined in its business judgment that all members of the Audit

Committee are "independent," as is required by the listing standards of the NYSE and under SEC rules.

Management is responsible for the preparation, presentation, and integrity of the Company's financial statements, accounting

and financial reporting principles, and internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards

and applicable laws and regulations. The independent registered public accounting firm, PwC, is responsible for performing an

independent audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting

Oversight Board (the "PCAOB").

In performing its oversight role, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with

management and PwC. The Audit Committee has also discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by the applicable

standards of the PCAOB, including Auditing Standard No. 1301, "Communications with Audit Committee," and other applicable

laws and regulations. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable

requirements of the PCAOB regarding PwC's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has

discussed with PwC its independence.

Based on the reports and discussions described in this report, and subject to the limitations on the role and responsibilities of

the Audit Committee referred to below and in its charter, the Audit Committee (as then constituted) recommended to the Board of

Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December

31, 2025.

The Audit Committee's role is one of oversight, and members of the Audit Committee rely without independent verification on

the information provided to them and on the representations made by management and PwC. Accordingly, the Audit Committee's

oversight does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and

financial reporting principles or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting

standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee's considerations and discussions referred to

above do not assure that the audit of the Company's financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of

the PCAOB, that the financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or that PwC is

in fact "independent."

The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a charter that was most recently adopted by the Board of Directors in October 2025

and is available on the Company's website at *www.amg.com.*

**Principal Accountant Fees and Services** 

The following table sets forth information regarding the fees for professional services rendered by PwC in each of the last two

fiscal years:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Type of Fee** | **Year Ended**<br>**December 31, 2024**<br>| **Year Ended**<br>**December 31, 2025**<br>|
| Audit Fees<sup>(1)</sup> ........................................................................................................................................................... | $8562192 | $12793014 |
| Audit-Related Fees<sup>(2)</sup> ............................................................................................................................................ | 505056 | 768750 |
| Tax Fees<sup>(3)</sup> ............................................................................................................................................................. | 4936475 | 6810174 |

---

(1)Represents fees for the audit of the Company's consolidated financial statements and reviews of the consolidated financial statements filed

with the SEC in Forms 10-K and 10-Q, as well as in connection with audits of the financial statements of certain of the Company's

subsidiaries and consolidated Affiliates.

(2)Represents fees for attest services not required by statute or regulation, benefit plan audits, and accounting consultations.

(3)Represents fees for tax compliance and consulting services for the Company and certain of its subsidiaries and consolidated Affiliates.

In making its determination regarding the independence of PwC, the Audit Committee considered whether the provision of the

services covered in the sections entitled "Audit-Related Fees" and "Tax Fees" was compatible with maintaining such independence.

The appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company's financial statements is approved

each year by the Audit Committee. At the beginning of the year, the Audit Committee also evaluates other potential engagements

by the Company of the accounting firm and approves or rejects each service considering (among other factors) the possible impact

of each non-audit service on the accounting firm's independence from management. In accordance with its charter, the Audit

Committee pre-approves all auditing services and the terms thereof and any non-audit services provided by the independent

registered public accounting firm unless there is an exception to such pre-approval exists under the Exchange Act or the rules of

the SEC. The Audit Committee carefully considers the fees that are proposed to be paid in connection with the approval of audit

and non-audit services, and then closely monitors the fees incurred in connection with the provision of such services throughout the

year. At each meeting, the Audit Committee receives updates from management on the services that have been provided and fees

incurred; from time to time, the Audit Committee may also consider and approve the provision of additional services. In the event

that a need arises for the approval of additional services between meetings, the services would be considered and provisionally

approved by a designated member of the Audit Committee who would present the scope and fees of the services provisionally pre-

approved at the following meeting of the Audit Committee.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF MANAGEMENT**

**AND CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS**

The following table sets forth information as of April 6, 2026 (unless otherwise noted), regarding the beneficial ownership of

common stock by (i) persons or "groups" (as that term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) known by us to be the

beneficial owner of more than 5% of the common stock of the Company, (ii) named executive officers, (iii) directors and director

nominees, and (iv) directors and current executive officers as a group. Except as otherwise indicated, we believe, based on

information furnished by such persons, that each person listed below has sole voting and investment power over the shares of

common stock shown as beneficially owned, subject to community property laws, where applicable.

In accordance with SEC rules, the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned excludes shares underlying

restricted stock unit awards that are currently unvested or unsettled and that will remain so within 60 days of April 6, 2026 (the

"measurement period"). Additional information regarding the restricted stock units held by each named executive officer is included

in the footnotes to the Executive Compensation Tables included elsewhere in this Proxy Statement.

(2)In computing the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by a person, (i) shares of common stock subject to options held by

that person that are currently exercisable or that may become exercisable within the measurement period are deemed outstanding and (ii)

shares of common stock underlying restricted stock units held by that person that are currently unvested or unsettled and that will remain so

through the measurement period are not deemed outstanding. For purposes of computing the percentage owned, shares of common stock

subject to options that are currently exercisable or that become exercisable within the measurement period are deemed to be outstanding for

the holder thereof, but are not for the purpose of computing the ownership percentage of any other person. As of April 6, 2026, a total of

26,554,106 shares of common stock were outstanding.

(3)Information is based on a Schedule 13G/A filed with the SEC on June 7, 2024 by BlackRock, Inc. as of May 31, 2024, reporting beneficial

Vanguard is listed in such Schedule 13G/A as 100 Vanguard Blvd., Malvern, Pennsylvania 19355. Vanguard subsequently reported that due

to an internal realignment it no longer has, or is deemed to have, beneficial ownership over securities beneficially owned by various

Vanguard subsidiaries and/or business divisions. Vanguard also reported that certain subsidiaries or business divisions that formerly had, or

were deemed to have, beneficial ownership with Vanguard, will report beneficial ownership separately (on a disaggregated basis).

(5)Information is based on a Schedule 13G/A filed with the SEC on November 7, 2025 by Morgan Stanley and Atlanta Capital Management

Company, LLC as of September 30, 2025, reporting Morgan Stanley's beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 1,983,387 shares of common

**OTHER MATTERS** 

**Related Person Transactions** 

AMG's executive officers and directors may invest from time to time in funds advised by our Affiliates, or receive other

Further, certain of our employees invested in a fund managed by a certain Affiliate during the reporting period, through the

assignment from the Company to the applicable employee of a portion of the Company's unfunded required capital commitment

obligation, following the approval of the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors. The investments are on the same

general terms available to senior fund professionals and are not subject to a management fee. The participating executive officers

Wojcik: $500,000; and Ms. Ritchea, $250,000.

Also, from time to time, we may enter into ordinary course engagements for capital markets, banking, brokerage, and other

services with beneficial owners of 5% or more of the Company's voting securities.

**Expenses of Solicitation** 

The cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by us. In an effort to have as large a representation of stockholders at the

Annual Meeting as possible, special solicitation of proxies may, in certain instances, be made personally or by mail, telephone, or

other electronic means by one or more of our employees or by a proxy solicitor. We also may reimburse brokers, banks, nominees,

and other fiduciaries for postage and reasonable clerical expenses of forwarding the proxy materials to their principals who are

beneficial owners of common stock.
