11. TAX RECEIVABLE AGREEMENTS

In connection with the IPO and the reorganization transactions that occurred in connection with the IPO, Focus Inc. entered into two tax receivable agreements: one with certain entities affiliated with the private equity investors of Focus LLC 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 (the three agreements, collectively, the “Tax Receivable Agreements”) for tax receivable agreement holders that join Focus LLC as members after the closing of the IPO (the parties to the Tax Receivable Agreements, collectively, the “TRA Holders”). New Focus LLC owners in the future may also become party to this additional Tax Receivable Agreement. The Tax Receivable Agreements generally provide for the payment by Focus Inc. 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 Focus Inc. 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 that occurred in connection with the IPO and in periods after the IPO or after entering into the Tax Receivable Agreements, as applicable, as a result of certain increases in tax bases and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest. Focus Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had recorded a liability of $221,237 relating to the TRA obligations. Future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreements in respect of future exchanges of Focus LLC units for shares of Class A common stock will be in addition to the amount recorded. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, payments totaling $3,856 were made under the Tax Receivable Agreements.
