BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Five Point Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Holding Company” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), is an owner and developer of mixed-use, master-planned communities in California. The Holding Company owns all of its assets and conducts all of its operations through Five Point Operating Company, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Company”), and its subsidiaries.

The Company has two classes of shares outstanding: Class A common shares and Class B common shares. Holders of Class A common shares and holders of Class B common shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders, and are both entitled to receive distributions at the same time. However, the distributions paid to holders of our Class B common shares are in an amount per share equal to 0.0003 multiplied by the amount paid per Class A common share.

The diagram below presents a simplified depiction of the Company’s current organizational structure as of March 31, 2019:

(1) A wholly owned subsidiary of the Holding Company serves as the sole managing general partner of the Operating Company. As of March 31, 2019, the Company owned approximately 62.4% of the outstanding Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. After a one year holding period, a holder of Class A Common Units of the Operating Company can exchange the units for, at the Company’s option, either Class A common shares of the Holding Company, on a one-for-one basis, or cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Assuming the exchange of all outstanding Class A Common Units of the Operating Company and all outstanding Class A units of The Shipyard Communities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “San Francisco Venture”) (see (2) below), that are not held by the Company, based on the closing price of the Company’s Class A common shares on April 30, 2019 ($8.51), the equity market capitalization of the Company was approximately $1.3 billion.

(2) The Operating Company owns all of the outstanding Class B units of the San Francisco Venture, the entity developing the Candlestick and The San Francisco Shipyard communities. The Class A units of the San Francisco Venture, which the Operating Company does not own, are intended to be economically equivalent to Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. As the holder of all outstanding Class B units, the Operating Company is entitled to receive 99% of available cash from the San Francisco Venture after the holders of Class A units in the San Francisco Venture have received distributions equivalent to the distributions, if any, paid on Class A Common Units of the Operating Company. Class A units of the San Francisco Venture can be exchanged, on a one-for-one basis, for Class A Common Units of the Operating Company (See Note 5).

(3) Together, the Operating Company, Five Point Communities, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“FP LP”), and Five Point Communities Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“FP Inc.” and together with FP LP, the “Management Company”) own 100% of Five Point Land, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FPL”), the entity developing Valencia (formerly known as Newhall Ranch), a master-planned community located in northern Los Angeles County, California. The Operating Company has a controlling interest in the Management Company.

(4) Interests in Heritage Fields LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Great Park Venture”), are either “Percentage Interests” or “Legacy Interests.” Holders of the Legacy Interests are entitled to receive priority distributions in an amount up to $565.0 million, of which $355.0 million had been distributed as of April 30, 2019. The Company owns a 37.5% Percentage Interest in the Great Park Venture and serves as its administrative member. However, management of the Great Park Venture is vested in the four voting members, who have a total of five votes. Major decisions generally require the approval of at least 75% of the votes of the voting members. The Company has two votes, and the other three voting members each have one vote, so the Company is unable to approve any major decision without the consent or approval of at least two of the other voting members. The Company does not include the Great Park Venture as a consolidated subsidiary, but rather as an equity method investee in its consolidated financial statements.

(5) The Company owns a 75% interest in Five Point Office Venture Holdings I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Gateway Commercial Venture”). The Gateway Commercial Venture owns approximately 73 acres of commercial land in the Great Park Neighborhoods, on which four buildings have been newly constructed with an aggregate of approximately one million square feet of research and development and office space (the “Five Point Gateway Campus”). The Company manages the Gateway Commercial Venture, however, the manager’s authority is limited. Major decisions by the Gateway Commercial Venture generally require unanimous approval by an executive committee composed of two people designated by the Company and two people designated by another investor. Some decisions require approval by all of the members of the Gateway Commercial Venture. The Company does not include the Gateway Commercial Venture as a consolidated subsidiary, but rather as an equity method investee in its consolidated financial statements.
