Related Party Transactions [Abstract] |
Related Party Transactions | 5. Related Party Transactions Related party transactions are measured in part by the amount of consideration paid or received as established and agreed by the parties. Consideration paid for such services in each case is the negotiated value. Durable Medical Equipment In connection with the acquisition of the durable medical equipment businesses in September 2018, DME Inc. and its subsidiaries entered into a term loan agreement with Corbel (the Corbel Facility). Jeffrey S. Serota, a member of the Company’s board of directors, serves as Vice Chairman to Corbel Capital Partners. Corbel previously held an interest in one of our acquired durable medical equipment businesses and was one of the sellers in our acquisition of the business. As a result of the acquisition, at December 31, 2020 Corbel holds a non-controlling interest in DME Inc. Pursuant to the Corbel Facility, Corbel was paid a structuring fee and a quarterly monitoring fee. In conjunction with the JPM Transactions, the Corbel Facility was repaid early on December 29, 2020, and DME Inc. paid a deferred structuring fee as well as a prepayment penalty. See Note 10 - Borrowings for additional information on the Corbel Facility and Note 14 – Non-Controlling Interests and Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. In connection with the acquisition of the durable medical equipment businesses, the Company issued non-controlling interests in DME Inc. to the former owners, including Corbel discussed above. Investment Management The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, GECM, has agreements to provide administrative services and manage the investment portfolio for GECC. Under these agreements, GECM receives administrative fees, management fees based on GECC’s assets (other than cash and cash equivalents) and incentive fees if GECC has net capital gains or if its net investment income exceeds a specified hurdle rate. Fees under the agreements began to accrue on November 4, 2016. See Note 3 – Revenue for additional discussions of the fee arrangements. All of the Company’s investment management revenue recognized for the periods presented was generated from the management and administration of GECC. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Great Elm Opportunities GP, Inc. (GEO GP) serves as the general partner of Great Elm Opportunities Fund I, LP (GEOF). GECM serves as the investment manager of GEOF. As the general partner, GEO GP provides administrative services and oversees GECM’s management of the investment portfolio of GEOF. In October 2020, GECM entered into a shared personnel and reimbursement agreement with Imperial Capital Asset Management, LLC (ICAM). Jason W. Reese, the Executive Chairman of the Company’s board of directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of ICAM. Costs incurred under this agreement are included in investment management expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, such costs were $0.1 million. GEOF is a Delaware multi-series limited partnership. The Company has determined that each series of GEOF is a VIE and that the criteria for consolidation are met for one of the series (the Consolidated Fund). See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for additional details. The Company has retained the specialized investment company accounting guidance under GAAP with respect to the Consolidated Fund. As such, investments of the Consolidated Fund are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the net unrealized gain (loss) on those investments is included as a component of other income on the condensed consolidated income statement. As of December 31, 2020 no single issuer or investment of the Consolidated Fund had a fair value greater than 5% of the Company’s total consolidated assets. Additionally, the Company receives dividends from its investment in GECC and earns unrealized profits and losses based on the mark-to-market performance of its investment in GECC and the investments held in the Consolidated Fund. See Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements. The following tables summarize activity and outstanding balances between the managed investment products and the Company.

Outstanding receivables are included in related party receivables in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Outstanding receivables from the Consolidated Fund are eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $0.01 million in receivable for reimbursable expenses paid on behalf of the Consolidated Fund. The Company is the owner of approximately 23.6% of the outstanding shares of GECC, and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer is also the Chief Executive Officer of GECC and Chief Investment Officer of GECM, in addition to being a member of the board of directors of the Company and chairman of the board of GECC. The Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer is also the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel of GECM and the Chief Compliance Officer of GECC. On October 1, 2020, GECC completed a non-transferable rights offering in which the Company received 2,966,531 shares at a price of $2.95 per share for an aggregate total of $8.8 million. GECM has a profit sharing agreement with the Company’s majority-owned subsidiary GECC GP Corp. (Profit Sharing Agreement). Under the Profit Sharing Agreement, GECM’s profit from GECC is paid to GECC GP Corp. Since its inception in November 2016, GECM has operated at a cumulative loss through December 31, 2020; correspondingly, no profits were available to GECC GP Corp. under the Profit Sharing Agreement. Certain employees of the Company have a non-controlling interest in GECC GP Corp. See Note 14 – Non-Controlling Interests and Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. MAST Capital Management, LLC (MAST Capital) is the beneficial owner of approximately 7.6% of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2020 and is the holder of the GP Corp. Note. See Note 10 - Borrowings for additional discussion of the GP Corp. Note. Real Estate In connection with the acquisition of the real estate business in March 2018, the Company issued the former owner a 19.9% interest in Great Elm FM Holdings, Inc. (GE FM Holdings). See Note 14 – Non-Controlling Interests and Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. General Corporate In conjunction with the JPM Transactions, on December 29, 2020 Forest sold Forest Preferred Stock and the Company sold common stock in Forest to JPM for cash consideration of $35.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. As a result of these transactions, JPM holds a non-controlling interest in Forest. See Note 14 – Non-Controlling Interests and Preferred Stock of Subsidiaries. On December 18, 2020, the Company purchased from JPM a 21% common stock interest in Ligado Networks, LLC (Ligado), a privately-held Company. The common stock interest does not convey the ability to exercise significant influence over Ligado, and therefore does not require accounting in accordance with the equity method. We have elected to account for this investment, which does not have a readily-determinable fair value, at cost minus impairment. This investment is included in prepaid and other current assets on our consolidated balance sheet.
