11. TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENTS

In connection with the Reorganization Transactions and the closing of the IPO, the Company entered into two Tax Receivable Agreements ("TRAs"): one with certain entities affiliated with the Company’s private equity investors and the other with certain other continuing and former owners of Focus LLC. In March 2020 Focus Inc. entered into an additional Tax Receivable Agreement for TRA holders that join Focus LLC as members after the closing of the IPO (the parties to the three agreements, collectively, the “TRA holders”). New Focus LLC owners in the future may also become party to this additional Tax Receivable Agreement. The agreements generally provide for the payment by the Company to each TRA holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax that the Company actually realizes (computed using simplifying assumptions to address the impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in connection with the Reorganization Transactions and in periods after the IPO or after entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, as applicable, as a result of certain increases in tax bases and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest. The Company will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had recorded a liability of $51,923 relating to the TRA obligations. Future payments under the TRAs in respect of future exchanges of Focus LLC units for shares of Class A common stock will be in addition to the amount recorded.
