GPA too low to list for off-cycle lateral?

Applying soon to an EB from my current role of doing over a year at a boutique M&A shop after a VP in the group encouraged me to apply (they lost an analyst and need an immediate replacement) and requested my resume. I went to a semi-target and got a 3.4, should I keep my GPA? I received honors (cum laude). Debating if I should replace my GPA with cum laude or just keep it.
