Certain balances held and invested in various mutual funds are managed or advised by GAMCO Investors, Inc. or one of its subsidiaries (collectively, "GAMCO" or the "Fund Manager"), which is related to the Company through certain of our shareholders. Investments in related party mutual funds are overseen by the independent Investment Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Investment Committee"). The Investment Committee meets regularly to review the alternatives and has determined the current investments most reflect the Company's objective of lower cost, market return and adherence to having a larger proportion of underlying investments directly in United States Treasuries. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company paid the Fund Manager a fund management fee of approximately 8 bps and 17 bps, respectively, annually on assets balances under management, which are not paid directly by the Company and are deducted prior to a fund striking its net asset value ("NAV"). As of December 31, 2024, the balance with the Fund Manager totaled $34,242, all of which was classified within Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the balance with the Fund Manager totaled $32,568, all of which was classified within Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Transactions with M-tron Industries, Inc. Transitional Administrative and Management Services Agreement LGL Group and MtronPTI entered into an Amended and Restated Transitional Administrative and Management Services Agreement ("MtronPTI TSA"), which sets out the terms for services to be provided between the two companies post-separation. The current terms result in a net monthly payment of $4 per month to MtronPTI. Tax Indemnity and Sharing Agreement LGL Group and MtronPTI entered into a Tax Indemnity and Sharing Agreement ("MtronPTI Tax Agreement"), which sets out the terms for which party would be responsible for taxes imposed on the Company if the Distribution, together with certain related transactions, were to fail to qualify as a tax-free transaction under Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") Sections 355 and 368(a)(1)(D) if such failure were the result of actions taken after the Distribution by the Company or MtronPTI. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, no taxes related to the Distribution have been recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Other Transactions LGL Group and MtronPTI agreed to share salaries and benefits related to certain employees incurred by the Company.
