Commitments and Contingencies Commitments and Contingencies
Private Equity – As of December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded commitments for capital contributions of $2,552 to private equity funds. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of each private equity fund's investment period, subject to certain conditions. Such commitments are satisfied in cash and are generally required to be made as investment opportunities are consummated by the private equity funds.
Lines of Credit – Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East") previously held $30,000 secured and $55,000 unsecured revolving credit facilities with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC"), which matured on October 27, 2024.
On October 28, 2024, upon maturity of its $30,000 secured and $55,000 unsecured credit facilities with PNC, the Company established a new revolving credit facility with PNC in an aggregate principal amount of up to $85,000 (the "PNC Facility") to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. The facility is unsecured. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants, that prohibit East and the Company from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2024. Drawings under this facility bear interest at Daily SOFR plus 145 basis points and the maturity date is October 27, 2025. There were no drawings under this facility at December 31, 2024.
EGL maintains a subordinated revolving credit facility with PNC, as amended on October 25, 2024, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000, to be used as needed in support of capital requirements from time to time of EGL. This facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Evercore LP and other affiliates, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, which provides for certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the PNC Facility. The interest rate provisions are Daily SOFR plus 145 basis points and the maturity date is October 28, 2026. There were no drawings under this facility at December 31, 2024.
In addition, EGL's clearing broker provides temporary funding for the settlement of securities transactions.

The Company expects to pay to the counterparties to the Tax Receivable Agreement $10,423 within one year or less, $18,209 in one to three years, $12,705 in three to five years and $22,054 after five years.

Foreign Exchange – Periodically, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments. The Company
entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract during the first quarter of 2023 to buy 30,000 British Pounds sterling for $36,903, which settled during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in a loss of $303. Upon settlement, the Company entered into a new foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30,000 British Pounds sterling for $36,675, which settled during 2024, and resulted in a loss of $347 for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Contingencies
In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, "Contingencies" when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to employment and tax laws, regulations and treaties in various U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to the Company’s facts and circumstances is open to evolving interpretation. Although management believes it has applied these laws, regulations and treaties in a compliant manner, a recent interpretation reached by a judicial authority has challenged the employment tax treatment of members of a partnership which is not affiliated with the Company. While that challenge remains subject to a judicial review process, and the Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to the proceedings, the ultimate outcome may adversely impact the Company’s tax position.
