Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, the Company and its Affiliates may be subject to claims, legal proceedings and other contingencies in the ordinary course of their business activities. Any such matters are subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its Affiliates. The Company and its Affiliates establish accruals, as necessary, for matters for which the outcome is probable and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated.
The Company has committed to co-invest in certain Affiliate sponsored investment products. As of June 30, 2018, these unfunded commitments were $122.8 million and may be called in future periods.
As of June 30, 2018, the Company was contingently liable, upon the achievement by certain Affiliates of specified financial targets, to make payments through 2020 related to the Company’s investments in these Affiliates. For its consolidated Affiliates, the Company was contingently liable for up to $12.7 million, and expected to make total payments of $4.5 million ($2.5 million in 2018). The present value of the total expected payments was $4.2 million. For its equity method Affiliates, the Company was contingently liable to make payments up to $170.0 million and expected to make no payments.
Affiliate equity interests provide holders with a conditional right to put their interests to the Company over time. See Note 13. In addition, in connection with an investment in an equity method Affiliate, the Company entered into an arrangement with a minority owner of the Affiliate that gives such owner the right to sell a portion of its ownership interest in the Affiliate to the Company annually beginning in the fourth quarter of 2018. The purchase price of these conditional purchases will be at fair market value on the date of the transaction.
The Company and certain of its consolidated Affiliates operate under regulatory authorities that require the maintenance of minimum financial or capital requirements. Management is not aware of any significant violations of such requirements.
