With respect to the preceding matters, holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of Class B common stock, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held, are entitled to a number of votes that is equal to the aggregate number of vested and unvested PJT Partners Holdings LP (“PJT Partners Holdings”) Class A partnership units (the “Partnership Units”) and LTIP Units (which is a class of Partnership Units in PJT Partners Holdings) held by such holder on all matters presented to our stockholders other than director elections. With respect to the election of our directors, shares of Class B common stock initially entitle holders to only one vote per share of Class B common stock, though the voting power of Class B common stock with respect to the election of our directors may be increased to up to the number of votes to which a holder is then entitled on all other matters presented to stockholders.
