Congratulations on receiving our offer!

Before you start at Blackstone, please note the following items that need to be completed:

1. Offer Letter: Outlines your compensation and benefits. Please sign and send back to me.

2. Contracting Employee Agreement: Summarizes the restrictive covenants to which all employees are
required to sign. Please read through this document, sign it (pages 5 and 15) and send it to me.

3. Criminal History Attestation: Please complete and sign the criminal history inquiry document.

4. Background Check and Drug Screen: You will receive an email from HireRight, our background check
provider. Please follow the instructions in the email by filling out and signing the authorization form. You will
also receive a separate email from HireRight with instructions on how to schedule your drug screening
appointment. Please be sure to complete your drug screen within 7 days of receiving the instructions, as it will
expire. The background check and drug screen generally take 7-14 days to clear.

5. Fingerprinting: Please go to www.bankerFP.com and enter Code: FPBlackstoneAU. You will be able to
schedule your fingerprint appointment online and have fingerprints taken at your chosen location. Once this
has been done, your FINRA Central Registration Depository record will be updated to reflect that you have
been fingerprinted by another firm or are a Non-Registered Fingerprinted person of another firm. It is
important to complete this in a timely manner. We will not be able to clear you from the background check
until we receive the results from your fingerprints.

*Please both scan & e-mail all documents to me at: Thomas.Kenyon@Blackstone.com and mail hard
copies to me at: The Blackstone Group, 345 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10154.

As your first day gets closer, we will send you more information regarding orientation. You will receive an e-
mail from our Human Resources team with tax and other forms for you to complete approximately a few
weeks prior to your start date. We’ve enclosed a Benefits Guide for your reference. Please feel free to
contact me at (646) 313-6545 if you have any questions. We look forward to you joining us.

Sincerely,
