previously announced Investor Day for shareholders and analysts scheduled for today, September 21, 2018, at 8:00 a.m. ET, along with separate supplemental financial information. Blackstone uses its website as a channel of distribution of

The

financial

The information included in this Current Report on Form
8-K
is being furnished under Item 7.01, Regulation FD Disclosure of Form
8-K.
As such, the information herein shall not be deemed to be filed for the
purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
