Summary

Houlihan Lokey filed a prospectus supplement enabling resale of 365,078 Class A shares by former owners of two acquired advisory firms. The larger block—255,422 shares—comes from the December 2024 Waller Helms Advisors acquisition, including earnout shares issued in January 2026 when performance targets were met.

An additional 109,656 shares are registered for former 7 Mile Advisors members from the December 2023 acquisition, including shares from a convertible note conversion in December 2025. This is a routine post-acquisition registration allowing selling shareholders to liquidate their equity consideration.

The shares were previously registered under a 2023 shelf statement that the company replaced with a new Form S-3 on August 10, 2026. The filing represents potential selling pressure of approximately 365,000 shares, though the timing and pace of any sales remain at the discretion of the selling shareholders. For context on dilution impact, investors should compare this share count to Houlihan Lokey's total shares outstanding.

Added in current filing · verify on EDGAR →

All of the securities being registered for resale pursuant to such prospectus supplement were previously registered for resale under a prior Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on August 11, 2023 (File No. 333-273952) and various related prospectus supplements. Such prior Registration Statement was replaced by the Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by the Company on August 10, 2026 (File No. 333-298200).

The company replaced its August 2023 shelf registration statement with a new one filed August 10, 2026. The shares being registered were previously covered under the old registration but are now being re-registered under the new shelf. This is a routine administrative update to maintain an effective registration for selling shareholders.
