Important Disclosures
Not an offer. These materials are provided as an overview of The Blackstone Group L.P. and are for informational purposes only, and do not constitute an offer to sell,
or a solicitation of an offer to buy, any security or instrument, or a solicitation of interest in any particular Blackstone fund, account or strategy. If such an offer is
made, it will only be made by means of an offering document, which would contain material information (including certain risks of investing in such security, fund or
strategy) not contained in these materials and which would supersede and qualify in its entirety the information set forth in these materials. Any decision to invest in
a fund should only be made after reviewing the offering document, conducting such investigations as an investor deems necessary and consulting the investor’s own
legal, accounting and tax advisors in order to make an independent determination of the suitability and consequences of an investment.
Performance Information. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results and there can be no assurance that any Blackstone fund or strategy will
achieve comparable results, or that any investments made by Blackstone in the future will be profitable. Actual realized value of currently unrealized investments will
depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and
the timing and manner of sale, all of which may differ from the assumptions and circumstances on which the current unrealized valuations are based. Accordingly, the
actual realized values of unrealized investments may differ materially from the values indicated herein.
General. Data in the materials is as of March 31, 2014 unless otherwise noted. Unless otherwise indicated, assets under management (“AUM”) in this presentation
refers to total assets under management, which differs from fee-earning assets under management. Neither Blackstone, any Blackstone fund nor any of Blackstone’s
affiliates makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained herein. Unless otherwise
specified, the source for all graphs, charts and information in these materials is Blackstone. Certain information contained in these materials has been obtained from
sources outside Blackstone. While such information is believed to be reliable for purposes used herein, no representations are made as to the accuracy or
completeness thereof and Blackstone does not take any responsibility for such information. Certain information contained in the presentation discusses general
market activity, industry or sector trends, or other broad-based economic, market or political conditions and should not be construed as research or investment
advice.
Index Comparisons. The volatility and risk profile of the indices presented may be materially different from that of the Blackstone funds. In addition, the indices
employ different investment guidelines and criteria than the funds and do not employ leverage; as a result, the holdings in the funds and the liquidity of such holdings
may differ significantly from the securities that comprise the indices. The indices are not subject to fees or expenses and it may not be possible to invest in the
indices. The performance of the indices has not been selected to represent an appropriate benchmark to compare to the performance of the Blackstone funds, but
rather is disclosed to allow for comparison of the funds’ performance to that of well-known and widely recognized indices. A summary of the investment guidelines
for the indices presented are available upon request. In the case of equity indices, performance of the indices reflects the reinvestment of dividends.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures. The materials contain information regarding Blackstone’s financial results prepared on a basis of accounting generally accepted in the
United States of America (“GAAP”) as well as certain financial measures calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP
(“non-GAAP”). Definitions and calculations for each of these non-GAAP measures can be found in the Appendix to the materials.

Important Disclosures, continued
Forward-Looking Statements. These materials may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 which reflect Blackstone’s current views with respect to, among other things, Blackstone’s operations and financial
performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,”
“should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such
forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or
results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. Blackstone believes these factors include but are not limited to those described under the
section entitled “Risk Factors” in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, as such factors may be updated from time to time in its
periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. These factors should not be construed as
exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this presentation and in the filings. Blackstone undertakes no
obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.
GSO Section, page 3. Certain GSO entities act as sub‐adviser to the business development companies (“BDCs”). The applicable non‐GSO entities that act as advisers to
the BDCs (the “BDC Advisers”) retain investment discretion over the BDCs’ investment programs. Thus, while GSO proposes investment opportunities to the BDC
Advisers for investment by the BDCs, the BDC Advisers have investment discretion to approve or reject such proposed investment opportunities. GSO does not have
investment discretion with respect to the BDCs.
Strategic Partners Section, page 1. Net returns for Strategic Partners flagship funds, SP I – SP V, are from inception in December 2000 to December 31, 2013. The
valuation policy of each of the Funds is to mark its holdings to amounts that reflect the fair value of the underlying portfolio investments as reported by the general
partners or managers of the underlying funds, rather than the cost of the secondary investments paid by the respective Fund. The purchase discounts (or premiums)
paid at the closing of a transaction initially impact the internal rate of return, which over time reflects subsequent changes in the valuations of the underlying funds.
The performance of SP I, SP II, SP III and SP V as applicable is presented together with such Funds’ parallel funds on a combined basis. Gross internal rate of return
(“IRR”) is annualized and calculated based on the limited partners’ daily inflows and outflows, before fund expenses and the general partner’s carried interest of the
Fund, but after the fund expenses and carried interest of the underlying funds. Net IRR is calculated after management fees and fund expenses and the general
partner’s carried interest of the Fund. Each of SP I, SP II, SP III and SP 2007 has a lower carried interest than that of SP IV and SP V. In addition, SP I has a different fee
structure compared to the other Funds. SP V has experienced limited investment dispositions and the relevant measurement / holdings periods over which the IRRs
have been calculated are significantly shorter than the anticipated average holding period of the Fund’s investments. Accordingly, such IRRs are not meaningful at this
time.
BAAM Section, page 2. BAAM Principal Solutions Composite covers the period from January 2000 to present, although BAAM’s inception date is September 1990.
BAAM’s Principal Solutions Composite does not include BAAM’s long-only equity, long-biased commodities, seed, strategic opportunities (external investments) or
advisory platforms. BAAM’s external AUM in specialized or customized solutions includes BAAM’s customized, strategic opportunity, strategic capital, seed, long-only
equity, long-biased commodity, and individual investor solutions platforms.

Note: Presentation of hypothetical growth in Fee-Earning AUM and Distributable Earnings not intended to project future performance. Calculation of hypothetical Distributable Earnings per unit is intended
to be illustrative and for that purpose contains a number of assumptions including, among others, constant management and performance fee rates and margins over the ten-year period, a 2x realized
multiple of invested capital over an average hold period of 4.5 years for our draw-down funds and an effective tax rate of 15%–20% on taxable income for the ten-year period. Cumulative distributions
paid assumes 100% payout of Distributable Earnings. Analysis assumes no reinvestment of distributions paid.

Dislocations and
Regulatory Changes
 Raise new pools of capital based on key industry themes developed within GSO
and Blackstone
 Examples: energy and residential housing
 Rescue Lending Funds
 Business Development Corps (BDCs)
 CLO consolidation
 Created over $5 billion in separate accounts with large LPs over past few years
Strategic Partnerships
with Large LPs
 Capitalizes on LP trend to consolidate GP relationships
 Allows LPs to invest more capital quickly with better fees and greater
transparency
 Products that capitalize on strong demand for yield by retail investors:
Retail Channels
Closed-End Funds, ETF, BDCs
 Tapping into private banks for distribution: Rescue Lending, Mezzanine and
Hedge Funds
Blackstone

Capitalizing on industry themes: Energy and Power
 GSO has invested over $15 billion in the Energy sector since 2005
 Dedicated Energy team of 16 people with unique sector expertise and
long-standing management relationships
 Energy fits extremely well within GSO’s investment approach
• Deal flow driven by significant capital needs and fragmented nature of the industry
• Hard asset value coupled with commodity exposure should allow for downside protection
and upside participation
 We have leveraged our Energy capability across the GSO platform
• $1 billion of Energy separate accounts
• Energy-focused BDC (~$3 billion)
• GSO believes high exposure to Energy investments has driven strong investment results
across funds and has enabled us to raise larger sized funds

Capitalizing on the sizeable opportunity in Private Wealth
 Alternatives continue to be an area of focus and growth for the larger
wealth management firms because of their appeal to higher net worth
investors
• Net new assets
 Financial pressures have forced these firms to reduce their relationships
and rely on key partners more heavily for product and sales support
 The complex nature of Alternatives suggests that the training and
education of Financial Advisors will lead to increased product
penetration

• Blackstone uses Economic Income, or “EI”, as a key measure of value creation, a benchmark of its performance and in making resource deployment
and compensation decisions across its five segments. EI represents segment net income before taxes excluding transaction-related charges.
Transaction-related charges arise from Blackstone’s initial public offering (“IPO”) and long-term retention programs outside of annual deferred
compensation and other corporate actions, including acquisitions. Transaction-related charges include equity-based compensation charges, the
amortization of intangible assets and contingent consideration associated with acquisitions. EI presents revenues and expenses on a basis that
deconsolidates the investment funds Blackstone manages.
• Economic Net Income, or “ENI”, represents EI adjusted to include current period taxes. Taxes represent the current tax provision (benefit) calculated
on Income (Loss) Before Provision for Taxes.
• Blackstone uses Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, as a key measure to highlight earnings from operations excluding: (a) the income related to
performance fees and related carry plan costs, (b) income earned from Blackstone’s investments in the Blackstone Funds, and (c) realized and
unrealized gains (losses) from other investments except for such gains (losses) from Blackstone’s Treasury cash management strategies. Blackstone
uses FRE as a measure to assess whether recurring revenue from its businesses is sufficient to adequately cover all of its operating expenses and
generate profits. FRE equals contractual fee revenues, investment income from Blackstone’s Treasury cash management strategies and interest
income, less (a) compensation expenses (which includes amortization of non-IPO and non-acquisition-related equity-based awards, but excludes
amortization of IPO and acquisition-related equity-based awards, carried interest and incentive fee compensation), and (b) other operating expenses.
• Distributable Earnings, or “DE”, which is derived from Blackstone’s segment reported results, is a supplemental measure to assess performance and
amounts available for distributions to Blackstone unitholders, including Blackstone personnel and others who are limited partners of the Blackstone
Holdings partnerships. DE is intended to show the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of the Blackstone Funds.
DE, which is a component of ENI, is the sum across all segments of: (a) Total Management and Advisory Fees, (b) Interest and Dividend Revenue,
(c) Other Revenue, (d) Realized Performance Fees, and (e) Realized Investment Income (Loss); less (a) Compensation, excluding the expense of
equity-based awards, (b) Realized Performance Fee Compensation, (c) Other Operating Expenses, and (d) Taxes and Related Payables Including the
Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement. DE is reconciled to Blackstone’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.
• Blackstone uses Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization, or “Adjusted EBITDA”, as a measure of segment
performance and an indicator of its ability to cover recurring operating expenses. Adjusted EBITDA equals DE before segment interest expense,
segment depreciation and amortization, and the taxes and related payables including the Payable Under Tax Receivable Agreement.
