1 Federated Hermes is a party to various contracts pursuant to which it receives certain services, including services for marketing and information technology, access to various fund-related information systems and research databases, trade order transmission and recovery services as well as other services. These contracts contain certain minimum noncancelable payments, cancellation provisions and renewal terms. The contracts require payments through the year 2027. Costs for such services are expensed as incurred. (b) Contingencies Federated Hermes previously recorded as revenue certain carried interest from certain funds subject to clawback provisions (Carried Interest). As of December 31, 2020, approximately $12 million of Carried Interest is subject to clawback. As a result of the significant impact of Covid-19 on certain markets, beginning in the first quarter of 2020, management concluded it was probable that the market value of the assets held by these funds would be reduced at the December 31, 2020 valuation date, which could result in a portion or all of this Carried Interest being repaid in 2021. As of December 31, 2020, management estimated that a clawback of approximately $1 million will occur based on the current estimated valuation of the assets held by these funds and has recorded a liability for this amount at December 31, 2020. Final third-party valuations of the funds as of December 31, 2020 are anticipated to be completed in the first quarter of 2021 and may result in a material change in the valuation of the assets held by these funds and the resulting clawback of Carried Interest. (c) Guarantees and Indemnifications On an intercompany basis, various subsidiaries of Federated Hermes guarantee certain financial obligations of Federated Hermes, Inc., and Federated Hermes, Inc. guarantees certain financial and performance-related obligations of various wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, in the normal course of business, Federated Hermes has entered into contracts that provide a variety of indemnifications. Typically, obligations to indemnify third parties arise in the context of contracts entered into by Federated Hermes, under which Federated Hermes agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising out of the contract, provided the other party's actions are not deemed to have breached an agreed upon standard of care. In each of these circumstances, payment by Federated Hermes is contingent on the other party making a claim for indemnity, subject to Federated Hermes' right to challenge the claim. Further, Federated Hermes' obligations under these agreements may be limited in terms of time and/or amount. It is not possible to predict the maximum potential amount of future payments under these or similar agreements due to the conditional nature of Federated Hermes' obligations and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. As of December 31, 2020, management does not believe that a material loss related to any of these matters is reasonably possible. (d) Legal Proceedings Like other companies, Federated Hermes has claims asserted and threatened against it in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2020, Federated Hermes does not believe that a material loss related to these claims is reasonably possible.
