ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

This prospectus is part of an automatic shelf registration statement that we filed with the SEC as a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under this automatic shelf registration statement, certain selling stockholders may offer, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings, shares of Class A common stock described in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement in amounts, at prices and on other terms to be determined at the time of the offering.

This prospectus is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment in our Class A common stock described in this prospectus. This prospectus provides you with a general description of our Class A common stock the selling stockholders may offer. To the extent required by applicable law, each time the selling stockholders sell shares of Class A common stock, the selling stockholders will provide you with this prospectus and, to the extent required, a prospectus supplement that will contain more information about the specific terms of the offering. A supplement to this prospectus or a free writing prospectus may also add to, update or change the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. To the extent that any statement made in an accompanying prospectus supplement or free writing prospectus is inconsistent with statements made in this prospectus, the statements made in this prospectus will be deemed modified or superseded by those made in the accompanying prospectus supplement. The rules of the SEC allow us to incorporate by reference information into this prospectus. This means that important information is contained in other documents that are considered to be a part of this prospectus. Additionally, information that we file later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede this information. You should carefully read this prospectus, any applicable prospectus supplement, if any, and any related free writing prospectus, together with the additional information that is incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in this prospectus as described under “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference” before making an investment decision. This prospectus contains summaries of certain provisions contained in some of the documents described herein, but reference is made to the actual documents for complete information. All of the summaries are qualified in their entirety by the actual documents. Copies of the documents referred to herein have been filed, or will be filed or incorporated by reference, as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.

In considering the performance information included in or incorporated by reference in this prospectus relating to our funds, you should bear in mind that the performance of our funds is not indicative of the possible performance of our Class A common stock and is also not necessarily indicative of the future results of our funds, even if fund investments were in fact liquidated on the dates indicated, and there can be no assurance that our funds will continue to achieve, or that future funds will achieve, comparable results. In addition, an investment in our Class A common stock is not an investment in any of the TPG funds, and the assets and revenues of our funds are not directly available to us. This prospectus relates solely to the Class A common stock that the selling stockholders may offer from time to time.

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “TPG” refer to TPG Inc. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The statements contained in this prospectus or in our other documents that are incorporated by reference herein, that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including statements regarding our expectations, hopes, intentions or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make regarding the outlook for our future business and financial performance, estimated operational metrics, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among other things, statements regarding the expected growth, future capital expenditures, fund performance, dividends and dividend policy and debt service obligations.

Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Angelo, Gordon & Co., L.P., AG Funds L.P., AG Partners, L.P., AG Partner Investments, L.P. and AG GP, LLC (collectively “Angelo Gordon”); purchase price adjustments; unexpected costs related to the integration of the Angelo Gordon business and operations; our ability to manage growth and execute our business plan and regional, national or global political, economic, business, competitive, market and regulatory conditions, including, but not limited to, those described in our Annual Report, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

For the reasons described above, we caution you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are incorporated by reference herein. Any forward-looking statement made by us in this prospectus speaks only as of the date on which we make it. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

The following description summarizes important terms of our capital stock.

For more information on how you can obtain our restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, see “Where You Can Find More Information; Incorporation of Certain Documents by Reference.”

Common Stock

Class A Common Stock

Voting. Subject to any proportionate adjustment of voting power of the Class A common stock related to the Class A Free Float, generally holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders and do not have the ability to cumulate votes for the election of directors. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law. The “Class A Free Float” includes shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding as adjusted to include only those shares that the Company determines are free float, consistent with the index policy, methodology, or guidance, whether written or oral, of the FTSE Russell and any related or successor entities.

Dividends. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors or, until the Sunset, our Executive Committee, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock.

Dissolution and Liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class A common stock and nonvoting Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution, subject to the limited rights of our Class B common stock as described below.

No Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

Issuance of Additional Class A Common Stock. We may issue additional shares of Class A common stock from time to time, subject to applicable provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law. We are obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock or nonvoting Class A common stock (subject to the transfer and exchange restrictions set forth in the TPG Operating Group Limited Partnership Agreement and the Investor Rights Agreement) to holders who, upon our applicable affiliate’s election, exchange their Common Units for shares of our Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis (unless we do not elect, in which case, such exchange will be satisfied for cash from a substantially concurrent primary equity offering). Additionally, in the event of a redemption request by a holder of the Common Units, we (or our subsidiary) may, at our election, effect a direct exchange of cash from a substantially concurrent primary equity offering (based on the closing price per share of the Class A common stock on the day before the pricing of such primary equity offering (taking into account customary brokerage commissions or underwriting discounts actually incurred)), Class A

Table of Contents

common stock or nonvoting Class A common stock for Common Units in lieu of such a redemption. When a Common Unit is exchanged for a share of our Class A common stock, a corresponding share of our Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

Nonvoting Class A Common Stock

Voting. Holders of shares of nonvoting Class A common stock have no voting rights in respect of such shares other than those voting rights required by law. Nonvoting Class A common stock has the same rights and privileges as, and ranks equally and share ratably with, and is identical in all respects to the Class A common stock, except with respect to voting.

Dividends. Holders of our nonvoting Class A common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors or, until the Sunset, our Executive Committee, out of funds legally available therefor, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any restrictions on the payment of dividends imposed by the terms of any outstanding Preferred Stock.

Dissolution and Liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class A common stock and nonvoting Class A common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata our remaining assets available for distribution, subject to the limited rights of the Class B common stock as described below.

No Preemptive Rights. Holders of our nonvoting Class A common stock do not have preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights.

Issuance of Additional Nonvoting Class A Common Stock. We may issue additional shares of nonvoting Class A common stock from time to time, subject to applicable provisions of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and Delaware law.

Conversion. The nonvoting Class A common stock will not be convertible to Class A common stock until such time as they are transferred to a third party as and when permitted by the Investor Rights Agreement.

Class B Common Stock

Voting. Holders of our Class B common stock are generally entitled to ten votes for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders prior to the Sunset; provided that, prior to the Sunset, in the event that the voting power of the Class A Free Float does not equal at least 5.1% of the aggregate voting power of all outstanding Class A common stock and Class B common stock voting together as of any record date for a vote of stockholders, the voting power of the Class B common stock will be reduced proportionately until the voting power of the Class A Free Float is at least 5.1% of the total number of votes entitled to be cast by the holders of all shares of capital stock entitled to vote.

Holders of our voting Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Dividends. Holders of the Class B common stock are not entitled to dividends in respect of their shares of Class B common stock.

Dissolution and Liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of Preferred Stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class B common stock shall be entitled to $0.001 per share. In connection with an exchange of a Common Unit for Class A common stock, the corresponding share of our Class B common stock will be automatically cancelled for no additional consideration.

Table of Contents

No Preemptive Rights. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. The Class B common stock is subject to redemption upon an exchange of a Common Unit for a share of Class A common stock.

Issuance of Additional Class B Common Stock.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, we will issue a number of shares of Class B common stock equal to the aggregate number of Common Units issued by the TPG Operating Group to such holder of Common Units, for no additional consideration.

If any outstanding share of Class B common stock shall cease to be held by a holder of a Common Unit, such share shall automatically be transferred to us, shall no longer be outstanding, and all rights with respect to such share shall automatically cease and terminate.

Additional shares of Class B Common Stock may also be issued in connection with a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar transaction.

Coordination with the TPG Operating Group

At any time we issue a share of Class A common stock for cash, (i) the net proceeds received by us will be promptly transferred to the TPG Operating Group, and the TPG Operating Group will issue to us a Common Unit, or (ii) we will acquire a Common Unit from an existing holder. If at any time we issue a share of Class A common stock pursuant to our equity plan or otherwise, we will contribute to the TPG Operating Group all of the proceeds that we receive (if any) and the TPG Operating Group will issue to us an equal number of its Common Units, having the same restrictions, if any, as are attached to the shares of Class A common stock issued under the plan. If at any time we issue a share of our Class A common stock upon an exchange of a Common Unit, we will retain such Common Unit. In the event that we issue other classes or series of our equity securities, the TPG Operating Group will issue to us an equal amount of equity securities of the TPG Operating Group with designations, preferences and other rights and terms that are substantially the same as our newly issued equity securities. Conversely, if we retire any shares of our Class A common stock (or our equity securities of other classes or series) for cash, the TPG Operating Group will, immediately prior to such retirement, redeem an equal number of Common Units (or its equity securities of the corresponding classes or series) held by us, upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of our Class A common stock (or our equity securities of such other classes or series) are retired. In addition, Common Units, as well as our common stock, will be subject to equivalent stock splits, dividends, reclassifications and other subdivisions. Lastly, holders of Common Units will be subject to certain restrictions on transfer as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement and the TPG Operating Group Limited Partnership Agreement.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority to issue Preferred Stock in one or more classes or series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and related restrictions, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, the right to elect directors, terms of redemption, any sinking fund for the redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or series, or the designation of the class or series, without the approval of our stockholders, subject to the consent of our Founders.

The authority of our board of directors to issue Preferred Stock without approval of our stockholders may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our Company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of Preferred Stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock, including the loss of voting control to others.

Table of Contents

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or Preferred Stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and in the policies formulated by our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control.

These provisions are primarily designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal or proxy fight. Such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Class A common stock that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management or delaying or preventing a transaction that might benefit certain of our stockholders.

These provisions include:

Super Voting Stock. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote, except as set forth in our certificate of incorporation or required by applicable law. However, prior to the Sunset, the Class B common stock are entitled to ten votes per share and the Class A common stock generally are entitled to one vote per share. Consequently, the holders of our Class B common stock will generally control matters brought to stockholders for a vote, including the election of directors.

Board Structure. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide for one class of directors each of whom will serve for one-year terms with annual elections, subject to the terms specified in the GP LLC LLCA. Upon the expiration of the initial term of office for each class of directors, each director in such class shall be elected for a term of one year and shall serve until a successor is duly elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal, subject to the terms of the GP LLC LLCA, which provides that (i) each of our Founders and Mr. Winkelried will be re-elected by the Control Group at each annual meeting of stockholders until the Sunset, (ii) each of our management directors will be elected by the Control Group for at least two consecutive terms and (iii) each of our independent directors will be re-elected by the Control Group at each annual meeting of stockholders (unless removed by a majority of the Control Group for cause) until the expansion of the Control Group to five members, at which point the independent directors will be eligible for re-election by a majority of the members of the Control Group until the Sunset. Prior to the Sunset, vacancies occurring on the board of directors, whether due to death, resignation, removal, retirement, disqualification or for any other reason, and newly created directorships resulting from an increase in the authorized number of directors, if any, shall be filled by the Control Group. Prior to the Sunset, the Control Group has the sole ability to elect the members of our board of directors.

Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. Our certificate of incorporation provides that prior to the Sunset, stockholders may act by written consent instead of a meeting for any action required or

permitted to be taken by the stockholders at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders, subject to the rights of any holders of Preferred Stock. In addition, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called at any time, but only by the board of directors or any of the non-executive chairman, executive chairman or CEO.

Election and Removal of Directors. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not expressly provide for cumulative voting.

Subject to any preferred designation, and to the limitations and requirements set forth in the GP LLC LLCA, our directors may be removed with or without cause, but only upon the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, any certificate of designation pursuant to which a particular series of Preferred Stock is issued may provide holders of that series of Preferred Stock with the right to elect additional directors. Pursuant to the GP LLC LLCA, the management directors cannot be removed without cause prior to the end of two consecutive one-year terms.

Authorized but Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of common stock and Preferred Stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing rules of NASDAQ. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and Preferred Stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. See “—Preferred Stock” and “—Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock” above.

Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti-takeover law, prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, which person or group is considered an interested stockholder under the DGCL, for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner.

We elected in our certificate of incorporation that we are not subject to Section 203. However, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that have the same effect as Section 203, except that they provide that GP LLC, affiliates of GP LLC, and their respective direct and indirect permitted transferees (other than TPG or any of our direct and indirect subsidiaries) are not be deemed to be “interested stockholders,” regardless of the percentage of our voting stock owned by them, and accordingly are not subject to such restrictions.

Corporate Opportunities. Our certificate of incorporation provides that we have waived certain corporate opportunities as identified in the GP LLC LLCA, such that GP LLC and the other persons specified therein shall not be liable to TPG, our affiliates or our stockholders for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder or director of TPG from pursuit of such opportunities.

Advance Notice Provisions. Our bylaws require stockholders seeking to nominate persons for election as directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, or to bring other business before an annual or special meeting (other than a proposal submitted under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act, which must be submitted in accordance with such rule), to provide timely notice in writing. A stockholder’s notice to our corporate secretary must be in proper written form and must set forth certain information, as required under our bylaws, related to the stockholder giving the notice, the beneficial owner (if any) on whose behalf the nomination is made as well as their control persons and information about the proposal or nominee for election to the board of directors.

Exclusive forum. Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any (i) derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) action

 

12


Table of Contents

asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty or other wrongdoing by any current or former director, officer, employee, agent or stockholder to us or our stockholders, (iii) action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on The Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or (iv) action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that the foregoing exclusive forum provision does not apply to actions brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or any other claim or cause of action for which the federal courts have exclusive jurisdiction.

Additionally, our certificate of incorporation also provides that the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. However, Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; accordingly, we cannot be certain that a court would enforce such provision. Pursuant to the Exchange Act, claims arising thereunder must be brought in federal district courts of the United States of America.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring or holding any interest in any shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the forum provision in our certificate of incorporation. In any case, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived (and cannot waive) compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. The enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Our certificate of incorporation also provides that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of and consented to this choice of forum provision. These exclusive forum provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors and officers.

In addition, certain provisions of the Investor Rights Agreement could have the effect of deterring or facilitating a control transaction.

Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors

Our bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, subject to certain exceptions contained in our bylaws. We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers (as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act) that may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and bylaws include provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except that a director will be personally liable for:

 

   

any breach of his duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders;

 

   

acts or omissions not in good faith, or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

   

unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL;

 

   

any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit; or

 

   

improper distributions to stockholders.

Item 15.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The registrant is governed by the DGCL. Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed legal action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation), by reason of the fact that such person was or is an officer, director, employee or agent of such corporation or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such officer, director, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the corporation’s best interest and, for criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful. A Delaware corporation may indemnify any person, including an officer or director, who was or is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or contemplated action or suit by or in the right of such corporation, under the same conditions, except that such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person, and except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation. Where an officer or director of a corporation is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

The registrant’s amended and restated bylaws authorize the indemnification of its officers and directors, consistent with Section 145 of the DGCL, as amended. The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its directors and officers (as defined under Rule 16a-1(f) under the Exchange Act). These agreements, among other things, require the registrant to indemnify each director and Section 16 officer to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, including indemnification of expenses, such as attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by the director or Section 16 officer in any action or proceeding, including any action or proceeding by or in right of the registrant, arising out of the person’s services as a director or Section 16 officer.

Table of Contents

Reference is made to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, which enables a corporation in its original certificate of incorporation or an amendment thereto to eliminate or limit the personal liability of a director for violations of the director’s fiduciary duty, except (i) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) pursuant to Section 174 of the DGCL, which provides for liability of directors for unlawful payments of dividends of unlawful stock purchases or redemptions, or (iv) for any transaction from which a director derived an improper personal benefit.

The registrant maintains standard policies of insurance that provide coverage (i) to its directors and officers against loss rising from claims made by reason of breach of duty or other wrongful act and (ii) to the registrant with respect to indemnification payments that it may make to such directors and officers.

Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  (1)

To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

II-2


Table of Contents

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

 

  (2)

That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (3)

To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (4)

That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i)(A) Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(B) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5) or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii) or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by Section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date;

(ii) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use;

 

  (5)

That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold

 

II-3


Table of Contents
  to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

  (6)

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (7)

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

TPG Inc.

301 Commerce Street, Suite 3300

Fort Worth, TX 76102

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to TPG Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the preparation and filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed on the date hereof (as amended, the “Registration Statement”), under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), relating to the resale by one or more selling stockholders to be identified in one or more prospectus supplements of an indeterminate number of shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Company (the “Shares”).

In so acting, we have examined originals or copies (certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction) of (i) the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.1 to the Registration Statement; (ii) the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 3.2 to the Registration Statement; (iii) the Registration Statement; (iv) the prospectus contained within the Registration Statement; (v) the Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2023 (the “Exchange Agreement”), among the Company, TPG Operating Group II, L.P. (“TOG”), TPG OpCo Holdings, L.P., TPG Operating Group I, L.P., TPG Operating Group III, L.P. and the holders of common units of TOG ; and (vi) such corporate records, agreements, documents and other instruments, and such certificates or comparable documents of public officials and of officers and representatives of the Company, and have made such inquiries of such officers and representatives, as we have deemed relevant and necessary as a basis for the opinion hereinafter set forth.

In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or photostatic copies, and the authenticity of the originals of such latter documents. As to all questions of fact material to this opinion that have not been independently established, we have relied upon certificates or comparable documents of officers and representatives of the Company.

We have also assumed that: (i) the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto (including any post-effective amendments) will have become, and remain, effective and comply with all applicable laws and no stop order suspending the Registration Statement’s effectiveness will have been
