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, 2020, these unfunded commitments were $135.3 million and may be called in future periods.
As of June 30, 2020, the Company was obligated to make payments related to an investment in an Affiliate. The maximum the Company is obligated to pay is $10.0 million in 2020, $25.0 million in 2021, and $37.5 million in 2022. In addition, as of June 30, 2020, the Company was contingently liable to make payments related to the achievement of specified financial targets by certain of its Affiliates accounted for under the equity method, of which $150.0 million may become payable in 2021, $77.5 million in 2022 and $62.5 million from 2023 through 2025. As of June 30, 2020, the Company expected to make payments to an Affiliate accounted for under the equity method of approximately $53 million. The Company expects to make no payments in 2020. In the event certain financial targets are not met at one of the Company’s Affiliates, the Company may receive payments of up to $12.5 million and also has the option to reduce its ownership interest and receive an incremental payment of $25.0 million.
Affiliate equity interests provide holders with a conditional right to put their interests to the Company over time. See Note 14. In connection with one of the Company’s investments in an Affiliate, a minority owner has the right to elect to sell a portion of its ownership interest in the Affiliate to the Company annually. If the minority owner sells its interest to the Company, then the Company will continue to account for the Affiliate under the equity method. In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company was notified by the minority owner that it had elected to sell a 5% interest in the Affiliate to the Company. In the first quarter of 2020, with the consent of the Company, the minority owner rescinded this notice. As of June 30, 2020, the minority owner maintains a 14% ownership interest in the Affiliate.
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.
