(B)Percentage in the table above deemed “n/m” are not meaningful. Noncontrolling interests related to Sculptor represents the ownership interests in certain funds held by entities or persons other than the Company. These interests substantially relate to interests held by Sculptor employees in real estate funds managed by the Company adjusted for their capital activity and allocated earnings in such funds. Such employees’ portion of carried interest is expensed and recorded within compensation and benefits on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and therefore excluded in the calculation of noncontrolling interests.
