Dear Colleagues,
If you hold either Evercore Inc. Class A Common Stock or Evercore LP partnership units, by now you should have received a notice of internet availability of our proxy materials (the “Notice”) or a printed copy of our proxy materials, including a proxy statement and an annual report to stockholders. The Notice, or if you received printed proxy materials, your proxy card, provides instructions for voting at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 18, 2019. As described in our proxy statement, our Board recommends that you vote “FOR” Proposals No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. We especially need your support for Proposal No. 1—the election of our directors and Proposal No. 2—stockholder approval, on an advisory basis, of our executive compensation program. Your vote is very important. Please take a few minutes to review these proposals and vote your shares today.
Please see the instructions and links at the end of this email for additional detailed instructions and information. Thank you and please contact me at jason.klurfeld@evercore.com or (212) 849-3453 if you have any questions.

Depending on how you have configured your account(s) that hold Evercore equity, you may receive multiple Notices or sets of proxy materials, which may have been sent to your home or the office or delivered in electronic form via an email from your broker. Please check all locations to ensure you have received all sets of Notice and proxy materials. There should be a separate Notice or, if you received proxy materials, a proxy card generated for each account where you hold your shares or partnership units. If you have signed up for email delivery, please check your spam or junk folders to make sure that the Notice, including voting information, did not accidently end up getting blocked or rerouted by a filter classifying such email as spam or junk. Vested or unvested RSUs are not eligible to vote on these matters.
Finally, if you received a printed copy of proxy materials and would like to take advantage of electronic delivery, as part of the voting process, you can sign up to receive future proxy materials via email. We ask that you seriously consider signing up for email delivery of proxy materials to reduce shipping costs borne by Evercore and to allow for faster delivery of the proxy materials.
