Redeemable noncontrolling interests

Minority interests held in a majority-owned investment management subsidiary are subject to holder put rights and Company call rights at pre-established multiples of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and, as such, are considered redeemable at other than fair value. The rights are exercisable at pre-established intervals or upon certain conditions, such as retirement. The put and call rights are not legally detachable or separately exercisable and are deemed to be embedded in the related noncontrolling interests. The Company, in purchasing equity of the investment management subsidiary, has the option to settle in cash or shares of the Company's common stock and is entitled to the cash flow associated with any purchased equity. The minority interests in the investment management subsidiary are recorded at estimated redemption value within redeemable noncontrolling interests on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance

Sheets, and any changes in the estimated redemption value are recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations within noncontrolling interests.

Equity awards of majority-owned investment management subsidiary

Additionally, these profit-interest awards have a right to participate in distributions of the affiliate which are recorded as compensation expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
