In conjunction with the Company’s purchase agreement with Atalanta Sosnoff, the Company issued a management member of Atalanta Sosnoff certain capital interests in Atalanta Sosnoff, which are redeemable for cash, at their fair value. Accordingly, these capital interests have been reflected at their fair value of $2,635 and $4,014 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company purchased 26 LP Units and certain other rights from a noncontrolling interest holder, resulting in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $353 and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $770, on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2015.

On May 22, 2014, the Company purchased 3 units, or 22%, of the aggregate amount of the outstanding EWM Class A units held by members of EWM for 119 Class A Shares and 11 LP Units of the Company, at a fair value of $7,100. This transaction resulted in an increase in the Company's ownership in EWM to 62%. In conjunction with this purchase, the Company amended the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of EWM. Per the amended agreement, the holders of certain EWM interests no longer have the option to redeem these capital interests for cash upon the event of the death or disability of the holder. Accordingly, the value of these interests had been reclassified from Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest to Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of June 30, 2014. The above transactions had the effect of reducing Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest and Treasury Stock by $34,577 and $3,856, respectively, and increasing Noncontrolling Interest and Additional Paid-in Capital by $27,477 and $3,244, respectively, at June 30, 2014. These interests were reflected at their fair value of $34,577 within Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at March 31, 2014. Changes in the fair value of these redeemable noncontrolling interests resulted in a decrease to Additional Paid-in Capital of $4,116 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

During the third quarter of 2014, the Company committed to purchase, for cash, noncontrolling interests from certain employees who were exiting the IE business. This resulted in an increase to Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest of $11,086 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition at September 30, 2014.
