Strategic Alliance Expense

Note 5. Strategic Alliance Expense

In connection with the Bonaccord acquisition, Bonaccord assumed a SAA. This SAA provides the third-party the right to receive 15% of the net management fee earnings, which includes the management fees minus applicable expenses, for Fund I and subsequent funds, paid quarterly, in exchange for funding certain amounts of capital commitments to the fund. Net management fee earnings the third-party has the right to receive is based on the total capital committed.

Within 60 days following the final closing of the next fund, Bonaccord Fund II ("Fund II"), the third-party has the opportunity to acquire, at the price at the time of the original acquisition, equity interests in Bonaccord based on the amount of commitment made. For each $5.0 million, up to a maximum of $250.0 million in irrevocable capital commitments to Fund II, the third-party can acquire 10 basis points up to a maximum of 5% equity in Bonaccord. In addition, net management fee earnings would increase by the same percentage, retroactive to the date of the first close in Fund II. The maximum commitment requirement has been met as of December 31, 2022. The Company believes its probable that the third-party will exercise the option to acquire equity in Bonaccord and has begun to accrue an additional 5% of net management fee earnings. If executed, the purchase price shall be reduced by the amount of management fee distributions which the third-party would have been paid as of the initial closing of Fund II. Similar terms apply for Fund III with the exception that the third-party can acquire 9.8 basis points for every $5.0 million committed up to 4.9%. This commitment has not yet been met as of December 31, 2022 as Fund III has not yet started raising capital. If commitment conditions to funds subsequent to Funds II and III are not satisfied, then within 60 days of the final closing of such subsequent fund giving rise to the condition not being satisfied, the Company may elect to repurchase the equity granted to the third-party. The repurchase shall be at the fair market value of such equity at that point in time. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the strategic alliance expense reported was $0.7 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the strategic alliance expense reported was $0.2 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, there was no strategic alliance expense.
