Tax Receivable Agreement
Pursuant to the TRA, the Company will pay certain parties to the Business Combination 85% of certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of any increase in tax basis of the assets of Umbrella related to the Business Combination.

Amounts payable under the TRA are contingent upon (i) the generation of taxable income in the Company over the life of the TRA, (ii) the tax rates in effect as of time periods in which tax benefits are used, and (iii) certain terms governing the rate of interest to be applied to payments under the TRA.
As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the liability associated with the TRA was approximately $32.5 million and $28.8 million, respectively. Payments under the TRA that are on account of liabilities arising in connection with the Business Combination will be revalued at the end of each reporting period with the gain or loss recognized in earnings. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company carried $10.8 million and $9.4 million, respectively, of its TRA liability at fair value, as it is contingent consideration from the Business Combination. The remaining portion of the TRA liability is carried at a value equal to the expected future payments under the TRA.
In connection with the TRA, certain parties to the Business Combination who received Class B Units in Umbrella have the ability to exchange Class B Units in Umbrella (along with their paired shares of Class B Common Stock) for shares of Class A Common Stock in the Company on a 1:1 exchange basis. These future exchanges are anticipated to be treated as taxable exchanges which may provide an increase in the tax basis of the assets of the Company and therefore provide for additional payments under the TRA. TRA liabilities that are generated on account of future exchanges will be recorded under ASC 450, Contingencies.
As of September 30, 2025, holders of Class B Units have exchanged a total of 10,844,400 Class B Paired Interests with the Company, for shares of Class A Common Stock on a 1:1 basis totaling an amount equal to the weighted average price of $5.68 multiplied by the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock received at the time of the transactions.
Payments under the TRA will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired unless (i) the Company exercises its right to terminate the TRA and pays recipients an amount representing the present value of the remaining payments, (ii) there is a change of control or (iii) the Company breaches any of the material obligations of the TRA, in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if the Company had exercised its right to terminate the TRA. In each case, if payments are accelerated, such payments will be based on certain assumptions, including that the Company will have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions.
As of September 30, 2025, assuming no material changes in the relevant tax laws and that the Company generates sufficient taxable income to realize the full tax benefit of the increased amortization resulting from the increase in tax basis of certain of AlTi’s assets, we expect to pay approximately $32.5 million under the TRA. Future changes in the fair value of the TRA liability will be recognized in earnings. Any future cash savings and related payments under the TRA due to subsequent exchanges of Class B Paired Interests for shares of Class A Common Stock would be accounted for separately from the amount related to the Business Combination.
Business Combination Earn-out Liability

Under the terms of the Business Combination, upon Closing, the Sponsor and the selling shareholders of TWMH, TIG, and Alvarium became entitled to receive earn-out shares contingent on various share price milestones. Additionally, upon a change of control of the Company, the share price milestones will be deemed to have been met and all the Business Combination Earn-out Securities will be payable to the earn-out holders. The earn-out shares are precluded from being considered indexed to the Company’s own stock and are recognized as a liability at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.

The Business Combination Earn-out Securities, comprised of 3.3 million Class A Shares, 7.1 million shares of Class B Common Stock, and 7.1 million Class B Units (one Class B share and one Class B Unit comprising a Paired Interest, as described in Note 4 (Business Combinations and Divestitures)), are payable to the Sponsor and the selling shareholders of TWMH, TIG, and Alvarium upon the achievement of certain vesting conditions in accordance with the terms of the Business Combination Agreement. Upon the Company’s Class A Share price meeting a volume-weighted average price threshold of $12.50 for 20 out of 30 trading days within five years of the Closing, fifty percent of the Business Combination Earn-out Securities will vest and be issued in settlement of the Business Combination Earn-out Liability (or, in the case of the Sponsor, which shares have already been issued, will no longer be subject to forfeiture). Upon the Company’s Class A Share price meeting a volume-weighted average price threshold of $15.00 for 20 out of 30 trading days within five years of the Closing, the remaining fifty percent of the Business Combination Earn-out Securities will vest and be issued. If, within five years of the Closing, a change of control event occurs (as defined in the Business Combination Agreement), any Business Combination Earn-out Securities not previously issued will be deemed to have vested and will be issued (or, in the case of the Sponsor, which shares have already been issued, will no longer be subject to forfeiture). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the earn-out shares
was $11.4 million and $23.8 million, respectively. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for additional detail.

EEA Earn-out Liability

On April 1, 2024, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding ownership and membership interests of EEA. The EEA Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $93.1 million. The total purchase consideration transferred includes estimated contingent consideration of $23.3 million, for which the Company may be required to make additional cash payments contingent on the future EBITDA performance targets between the closing date and the fifth anniversary of the closing date. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the EEA earn-out liability of $24.2 million and $29.9 million, respectively, is reported in Earn-out liabilities, at fair value, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Since the EEA earn-out liability meets the definition of a derivative, it is recorded at fair value as a derivative liability on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and measured at fair value at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Changes in fair value will be recognized in Gain (loss) on earnout liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and in Fair value (gain) loss on earnout liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of change. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for additional detail.

Pointwise Deferred Consideration

On May 9, 2024, AlTi acquired the remaining 50% of the issued and outstanding ownership and membership interest of PW, increasing its interest from 50% to 100%. The PW Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the fair value of the total purchase consideration was $8.0 million. The total purchase consideration transferred includes cash consideration, equity consideration and estimated deferred consideration of $3.3 million. The deferred consideration was measured at fair value at the acquisition date, and as of December 31, 2024, amounted to $3.3 million, and was recorded within the Other liabilities line item in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The deferred consideration was paid during the first quarter ended March 31, 2025, in cash and equity totaling $3.0 million.

Envoi Earn-out Liability

On July 1, 2024, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets of Envoi pursuant to the terms of the Envoi Acquisition. The Envoi Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $34.3 million. The total purchase consideration transferred includes estimated contingent consideration totaling $9.0 million as of the acquisition date, which is comprised of the Envoi earn-out consideration liability and the Envoi earn-out growth consideration liability, for which the Company may be required to pay additional cash or equity consideration contingent on future revenue-based performance targets between the closing date and the fourth anniversary of the closing date. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Envoi earn-out consideration liability of $7.3 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and the Envoi earn-out growth consideration liability of $1.1 million and $1.3 million, respectively, are reported in the Earn-out liabilities, at fair value, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The fair values will be remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Changes in the fair value of the Envoi earn-out liability will be recognized in Gain (loss) on earnout liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and in Fair value (gain) loss on earnout liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of change. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for additional detail.
Kontora Earn-out Consideration

On April 30, 2025, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding ownership interests of Kontora. The Kontora Acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and the fair value of the total purchase consideration transferred was $15.7 million. Included in the total purchase consideration is contingent consideration of $5.7 million, comprised of the Kontora earn-out liability, for which the Company may be required to make additional cash payments contingent upon Kontora meeting certain revenue requirements between the closing date and December 31, 2035. As of September 30, 2025, the Kontora earn-out liability of $6.8 million is reported in the Earn-out liabilities, at fair value, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The fair values will be remeasured at each reporting date in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. Changes in the fair value of the Kontora earn-out liability will be recognized in Gain (loss) on earnout liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and in Fair value (gain) loss on earnout liability in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in the period of change. See Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) for additional detail.

Letter of Credit

On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a letter of credit (the “Facility Agreement”) with BMO Harris Bank N.A. for the purpose of issuing instruments under this Facility Agreement through December 19, 2025 (the “Termination Date”). The Company will deposit a cash collateral equal to 102% of the amount of each instrument issued. The aggregate outstanding face amount of all issued instruments shall not exceed $5.0 million and shall have an expiry date of no later than one year from the Termination Date. Upon an issuance, the Company will pay a commitment fee equal to (i) the actual daily amount of the unused commitment, multiplied by (ii) 0.3% (the “Commitment Fee”). The Commitment Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each fiscal quarter. As of both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company has existing letters of credit in the amount of $3.4 million under the Facility Agreement.

Litigation
From time to time, we may be named as a defendant in legal or regulatory actions. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such matters, management’s current assessment is that no loss contingency reserve is required to be recorded as of September 30, 2025 for any potential liability related to any current legal or regulatory proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially affect our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

On July 11, 2025, after conducting the previously announced strategic review of the International Real Estate Businesses, the Company announced the appointment of Teneo to conduct an orderly wind-down of International Real Estate. Potential litigation related to that business, including Home REIT and HLIF below, will be dealt with by the administrators.

Home REIT

Home REIT is a real estate investment trust company listed on the London Stock Exchange. AFM UK was its alternative investment fund manager (“AIFM”) until August 21, 2023 and AHRA was its investment adviser until June 30, 2023. Services are no longer provided by any AlTi companies or any legacy Alvarium companies to Home REIT. AFM UK is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. AHRA was owned by ARE (another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) up until December 30, 2022, when it was sold. AlTi was formed on January 3, 2023, through the Business Combination that included certain legacy Alvarium companies, including AFM UK. While the sale of AHRA occurred prior to the Business Combination, under GAAP, its results were required to be consolidated in our financial statements until June 30, 2023, when it was deconsolidated. For UK
regulatory purposes, up until June 30, 2023, AHRA was permitted to perform certain limited regulated activities as an “appointed representative” of its regulated principal firm, ARE (which is authorized and regulated by the UK FCA).
Since November 2022, Home REIT and AHRA have been the subject of a series of allegations in the UK media regarding Home REIT’s operations, triggered by a report issued by a short seller. Home REIT’s stock price fell materially as a result and its shares are currently suspended from trading.
On October 6, 2023, pre-action steps were commenced by a law firm acting on behalf of a group of current and former shareholders in Home REIT (in the UK, pre-action correspondence is required under the Practice Direction on Pre-Action Protocols and Conduct contained in the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Justice Civil Procedure Rules prior to a claimant commencing litigation). In the pre-action correspondence, the claimant group alleges that there were misstatements in Home REIT’s offering documents and certain other public filings between 2020 and 2022 and asserts potential claims against AFM UK and ARE (as well as against Home REIT itself and its directors, among others) in connection with such matters and the historic management and advisory services provided to Home REIT by certain legacy Alvarium companies.

On April 12, 2024, pre-action steps were commenced by Home REIT and its directors against AFM UK and ARE. This relates to the historic management of Home REIT by certain legacy Alvarium companies. In the pre-action correspondence, Home REIT and its directors assert potential claims against AFM UK and ARE and state their intention to bring claims against those entities: (i) for a 100% contribution to any losses incurred by Home REIT or its directors if current or former shareholders in Home REIT issue claims against them as outlined in the preceding paragraph; and (ii) on a standalone basis, for losses they assert have been incurred by Home REIT as a result of alleged breaches of contractual, tortious and fiduciary duties, unlawful means conspiracy and deceit by AFM UK and/or AHRA, and, in the case of ARE, they assert that ARE is liable to Home REIT for any acts or omissions of AHRA under the UK’s appointed representative regime.

There have been no material developments in the potential litigation relating to Home REIT since the appointment of administrators on 11 July 2025.

HLIF

HLIF is a private fund which pursues a similar investment strategy to Home REIT. In the period from June 30, 2022 to December 31, 2023, the estimated value of its underlying real estate investment portfolio declined by approximately 50%, due to a decrease in the timely collection of rents on the underlying portfolio, but also due to higher interest rates and other macro-economic factors. HLIF was managed by AFM UK as its AIFM and ‘authorized corporate director’ and was advised by SHIA, until August 2025, when management of HLIF was transitioned to a third party manager and AFM UK’s and SHIA’s services were terminated. Like AHRA, SHIA was permitted to perform certain limited regulated activities as an “appointed representative” of its regulated principal firm, ARE.

In February 2024, the UK FCA commenced investigations into the historic performance of certain group entities, in their services to Home REIT and/or HLIF, and whether they breached certain civil or criminal regulatory rules and/or principles. The investigations relate to the historic management of Home REIT and/or HLIF by certain legacy Alvarium companies. The investigations are focused primarily on whether any false or misleading statements were made in relation to Home REIT and/or HLIF and/or whether these group entities breached other FCA rules and/or principles. ARE and AFM UK have voluntarily requested the imposition of requirements by the UK FCA which primarily involves the companies agreeing to maintain their current assets and not undertaking any new business without UK FCA consent. The commencement of the investigations does not mean that the UK FCA has determined that any such breaches have occurred. However, it is possible that the UK FCA may determine that certain breaches have occurred, and it may seek to impose financial penalties or other outcomes on one or more group entities, that may potentially be material. We intend to cooperate fully
with the UK FCA as it conducts the investigations. We are not able to estimate how long it might take for the UK FCA to complete such investigations, but it is possible that the investigations may continue for a prolonged period, potentially over several years.

Potential Redress in Relation to Real Estate Products

As part of ongoing examinations with regulators and our review of client relationships, it has been agreed, that if certain conditions are met, redress will be paid to a limited number of clients in relation to certain Real Estate Products. As of the issuance of these financial statements, all impacted clients have been informed of this proposal.

As of the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, a provision of $3.6 million has been recognized in relation to this potential future liability. The ultimate loss could differ from the accrued amount.

Tolleson Wealth Management

The Company was involved in a dispute with Tolleson related to alleged improper solicitation of Tolleson’s clients and employees. Certain former Tolleson employees who joined AlTi were party to Tolleson employment agreements which contained a one-year client and employee non-solicit and a lost client fee clause requiring payment for lost revenue.

In September 2024, despite offers by the Company to pay for the departed clients, Tolleson filed a lawsuit against AlTi and the former Tolleson employees. The parties reached an agreement later in September 2024, dismissing the litigation and agreeing to mediation.

The Company and Tolleson entered a binding settlement agreement on February 19, 2025, memorializing the terms agreed to in mediation and concluding this matter. On March 13, 2025, the settlement amount of $5.1 million was paid by the Company to Tolleson.
