Affiliated Managers brings buybacks of notes underlying Prides to $154 million

New York, Aug. 18 - Affiliated Managers Group Inc. said it has now bought back $154 million principal amount of the senior notes underlying its mandatory convertible securities in the Prides structure issued in 2001.

The repurchases were through a tender offer, in a privately negotiated purchase and in the remarketing of the notes.

Affiliated Managers previously disclosed it had bought back $51 million of the notes in a tender offer.

Following the transactions, the Boston-based asset management company now has $76 million principal amount of the notes outstanding and $190 million of the forward purchase contracts.

Affiliated Managers originally issued $230 million of the convertibles.

Under the remarketing, the interest rate on the notes was reduced to 5.406% from 6%.

The forward purchase contracts will be settled in November 2004, and the remaining notes will mature in November 2006.
