Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain financial information and accompanying note disclosure normally included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K have been condensed or omitted. The interim financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2019,2020, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, and cash flows for the nine-month periodsnine-months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018.2019. These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.
The Company adopted the requirements of the Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-2 Leases2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 842)326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Accounting Standards CodificationsCodification (ASC) 842 (ASC 842)326)) using(ASU 2016-13) and subsequent amendments ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (ASU 2019-04) and ASU 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (ASU 2019-11) on January 1, 2020. ASU 2016-13 and the modified retrospective methodrelated amendments are hereafter referred to as ASC 326. ASC 326 requires that expected credit losses relating to financial assets measured on an amortized cost basis and available-for-sale debt securities be recorded through an allowance for credit losses. The Company owns mortgage-backed securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), a federal agency of the U.S. government classified as Available-for-sale debt securities which qualify for the zero credit risk allowance. The Company's U.S. Treasury and other U.S. government agency securities classified as Securities owned are outside the scope of ASC 326. There was no impact to the Company's disclosures related to its marketable securities from the implementation of ASC 326.
In accordance with ASC 326, the Company evaluated its receivable balances for credit risk based upon the source of revenue, its ability to collect fees directly from investment products or directly from assets in the client's account, a review of actual historical credit losses, and the potential for expected credit loss from its current client base. The Company has no meaningful historical credit loss data and a very limited amount of losses pertaining directly to a client's inability to satisfy its receivable balance even during periods of economic distress. The credit loss reserve recognized by the Company through the implementation of ASC 326 during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. As a result2020 was immaterial.
The Company also adopted the requirements of ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (ASU 2017-04) on January 1, 2020. The adoption of ASC 842, the Company recorded additional lease assets and net lease liabilities of $44,169 as of January 1, 2019. Upon implementation, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard which allowed the Company to carryforward the historical lease identification, classification and initial direct cost. ASC 842ASU 2017-04 did not materiallyhave a material impact on the Company’sCompany's consolidated net income or consolidated cash flows (see following caption "Leases"). financial statements and related disclosures.
With the exception of the adoption of ASC 842,326 and ASU 2017-04, there have been no other significant changes in significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019.

Variable Interest Entities
The Company or its affiliates have created numerous investment products for its clients in various types of legal entity structures. The Company serves as the Manager, Administrator and Distributor for these investment products and may also serve as the Trustee for some of the investment products. The Company receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees for these services. Clients are the equity investors and participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the net income or loss and net capital gains or losses of the products, and, on liquidation, will participate in proportion to their ownership percentage in the remaining net assets of the products after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities.
The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the entities and, therefore, is not required to consolidate any of the pooled investment vehicles for which it receives asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees under the VIE model. The entities either do not meet the definition of a VIE or the Company does not hold a variable interest in the entities. The entities either qualify for the money market scope exception, or are entities in which the Company’s asset management, distribution, administration and custodial fees are commensurate with the services

provided and include fair terms and conditions, or are entities that are limited partnerships which have substantive kick-out rights. The Company acts as a fiduciary and does not hold any other interests other than insignificant seed money investments in the pooled investment vehicles. For this reason, the Company also concluded that it is not required to consolidate the pooled investment vehicles under the voting interest entity model.
The Company is a party to expense limitation agreements with certain SEI-sponsored money market funds subject to Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 which establish a maximum level of ordinary operating expenses incurred by the fund in any fiscal year including, but not limited to, fees of the administrator or its affiliates. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company waived $6,390$8,575 and $6,525$6,390 in fees during the three months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when the transfer of control of promised goods or services under the terms of a contract with customers are satisfied in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those promised goods or services. Certain portions of the Company’s revenues involve a third party in providing goods or services to its customers. In such circumstances, the Company must determine whether the nature of its promise to the customer is to provide the underlying goods or services (the Company is the principal in the transaction and reports the transaction gross) or to arrange for a third party to provide the underlying goods or services (the entity is the agent in the transaction and reports the transaction net). See Note 13 for related disclosures regarding revenue recognition.

During the three months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, employee stock options to purchase 6,239,0008,813,000 and 6,183,0006,239,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $54.91$57.98 and $53.38,$54.91, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. During the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, employee stock options to purchase 6,269,0008,342,000 and 6,153,0006,269,000 shares of common stock with an average exercise price of $54.84$58.18 and $53.15,$54.84, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share. These options for the three and nine month periods were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per common share because either the performance conditions have not been satisfied or would not have been satisfied if the reporting date was the end of the contingency period or the options' exercise price was greater than the average market price of the Company’s common stock and the effect on diluted earnings per common share would have been anti-dilutive.
Leases
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the contract. The Company's operating leases are included in Operating lease right-of-use (ROU) assets, Current portion of long-term operating lease liabilities, and Long-term operating lease liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company utilizes an estimated incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. In determining the discount rate used in the present value calculation, the Company has elected to apply the portfolio approach for leases of equipment provided the leases commenced at or around the same time. This election allows the Company to account for leases at a portfolio level provided that the resulting accounting at this level would not differ materially from the accounting at the individual lease level. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company has elected to account for lease and non-lease components separately. Operating lease ROU assets include all contractual lease payments and initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives. Facility leases generally only contain lease expense and non-component items such as taxes and pass through charges. Only the lease components are included in the ROU assets and lease liabilities. Additionally, the Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to leases which have a lease term of less than one year at the commencement date.
The majority of the Company's leases for corporate facilities and equipment contain terms for renewal and extension of the lease agreement. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at the Company’s sole discretion. The Company includes the lease extensions when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the extension. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any material variable lease payments, material residual value guarantees or any material restrictive covenants. The Company does not currently have any finance leases.
See Note 15 for information on related disclosures regarding leases.

Note 4.    Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, except for the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV, is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s Level 1 financial assets consist mainly of investments in open-ended mutual funds that are quoted daily. Level 2 financial assets consist of Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA)GNMA mortgage-backed securities held by the Company's wholly-owned limited purpose federal thrift subsidiary, SEI Private Trust Company (SPTC), Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) and other U.S. government agency short-term notes held by SIDCO. The financial assets held by SIDCO were purchased as part of a cash management program requiring only short term, top-tier investment grade government and corporate securities. The financial assets held by SPTC are debt securities issued by GNMA and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government. These securities were purchased for the sole purpose of satisfying applicable regulatory requirements and have maturity dates which range from 2023 to 2041.
The fair value of the Company's investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The NAVs of the funds are calculated by the funds' independent custodian and are derived




14


from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the reporting date. The funds allow for investor redemptions at the

Page 14 of 48





end of each calendar month. This investment has not been classified in the fair value hierarchy but is presented in the tables below to permit reconciliation to the amounts presented on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The valuation of the Company's Level 2 financial assets held by SIDCO and SPTC are based upon securities pricing policies and procedures utilized by third-party pricing vendors.
The pricing policies and procedures applied for our Level 1 and Level 2 financial assets during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 were consistent with those as described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K at December 31, 2018.2019. The Company had no Level 3 financial assets at September 30, 20192020 or December 31, 20182019 that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company's Level 3 financial liabilities at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 consist entirely of the estimated contingent consideration resulting from an acquisition (See Note 12). The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a Monte-Carlo simulation model. Key assumptions for the Monte-Carlo simulation model include expected revenues, expected volatility, risk-free rate and correlation coefficient.other factors. There were no transfers of financial assets between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020.
The fair value of certain financial assets of the Company was determined using the following inputs:

Page 16 of 48





can range from 0.25% to 1.00% or the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus a premium that can range from 1.25% to 2.00% depending on the Company’s Leverage Ratio (a ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA for the four4 preceding fiscal quarters, all as defined in the related agreement).

As of September 30, 2019,2020, the Company had outstanding letters of credit of $11,553 under the Credit Facility. These letters of credit were issued primarily for the expansion of the Company's headquarters and are scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2019.2020. The amount of the Credit Facility that is available for general corporate purposes as of September 30, 20192020 was $288,447.
The Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020.

Note 7.    Shareholders’ Equity
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has only non-qualified stock options outstanding under its equity compensation plans. All outstanding stock options have performance-based vesting provisions specific to each option grant that tie the vesting of the applicable stock options to the Company’s financial performance. The Company’s stock options vest at a rate of 50% when a specified diluted earnings per sharefinancial vesting target is achieved, and the remaining 50% when a second, higher specified diluted earnings per sharefinancial vesting target is achieved. Options do not vest due to the passage of time but solely as a result of achievement of the financial vesting targets. Options granted in December 2017 and thereafter include a service condition which requires a minimum two or four year waiting period from the grant date along with the attainment of the applicable financial vesting target. Earnings per share targets exclude the impact of stock-based compensation and are established at time of grant. The targets are measured annually on December 31. The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the period is based upon management’s estimate of when the earnings per sharefinancial vesting targets may be achieved. Any change in management’s estimate could result in the remaining amount of stock-based compensation expense to be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect the Company’s earnings.

In September 2020, the Company revised its estimate of when some vesting targets are expected to be achieved which resulted in the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be spread out over a longer period than its initial estimate made at December 31, 2019. This change in management's estimate did not result in a material change to the Company's stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2020.
As of September 30, 2019,2020, there was approximately $50,330$59,056 of unrecognized compensation cost remaining related to unvested employee stock options that management expects will vest and is being amortized.
The Company issues new common shares associated with the exercise of stock options. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 was $43,246.$25,788. The total options exercisable as of September 30, 20192020 had an intrinsic value of $197,860.$96,715. The total intrinsic value for options exercisable is calculated as

The increase in the Company's effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 was primarily due to reduceddecreased tax benefits related to the lower volume of stock option exercises asin 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.prior year periods as well as an increase in the state effective tax rate.
The Company files income tax returns in the United States on a consolidated basis and in many U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The Company is subject to examination of income tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and other domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examination for years before 20152017 and is no longer subject to state, local or foreign income tax examinations by authorities for years before 2014.2015.
The Company estimates it will recognize $1,008$3,986 of gross unrecognized tax benefits. This amount is expected to be paid within one year or to be removed at the expiration of the statute of limitations and resolution of income tax audits and is netted against the current payable account. These unrecognized tax benefits are related to tax positions taken on certain

federal, state, and foreign tax returns. However, the timing of the resolution of income tax examinations is highly uncertain, and the amounts ultimately paid, if any, upon resolution of the issues raised by the taxing authorities may differ materially from the amounts accrued for each year. While it is reasonably possible that some issues under examination could be resolved in the next twelve months, based upon the current facts and circumstances, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the timing of such resolution or the total range of potential changes as it relates to the current unrecognized tax benefits that are recorded as part of the Company’s financial statements.

Note 11.    Commitments and Contingencies
In the ordinary course of business, the Company from time to time enters into contracts containing indemnification obligations of the Company. These obligations may require the Company to make payments to another party upon the occurrence of certain events including the failure by the Company to meet its performance obligations under the contract. These contractual indemnification provisions are often standard contractual terms of the nature customarily found in the type of contracts entered into by the Company. In many cases, there are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification provisions. There are no amounts reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 related to these indemnifications.
Stanford Trust Company Litigation
SEI has been named in 7 lawsuits filed in Louisiana courts; 4 of the cases also name SPTC as a defendant. The underlying allegations in all actions relate to the purported role of SPTC in providing back-office services to Stanford Trust Company. The complaints allege that SEI and SPTC participated in some manner in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank so as to be a “seller” of the certificates of deposit for purposes of primary liability under the Louisiana Securities Law or so as to be secondarily liable under that statute for sales of certificates of deposit made by Stanford Trust Company. NaN of the actions also include claims for violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act and possibly conspiracy, and a third also asserts claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the uniform fiduciaries law, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act, and conspiracy.
The procedural status of the 7 cases varies. The Lillie case, filed originally in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, was brought as a class action and is procedurally the most advanced of the cases. SEI and SPTC filed exceptions, which the Court granted in part, dismissing claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act

and permitting the claims under the Louisiana Securities Law to go forward. On March 11, 2013, newly-added insurance carrier defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On August 7, 2013, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the matter to the Northern District of Texas where MDL 2099, In re: Stanford Entities Securities Litigation (“(“the Stanford MDL”), is pending. On September 22, 2015, the District Court on the motion of SEI and SPTC dismissed plaintiffs’ claims for primary liability under Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law, but declined to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for secondary liability under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law based on the allegations pled by plaintiffs. On November 4, 2015, the District Court granted SEI and SPTC's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims under Section 712(D) of the Louisiana Securities Law. Consequently, the only claims of plaintiffs remaining in Lillie are plaintiffs' claims for secondary liability against SEI and SPTC under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law. On May 2, 2016, the District Court certified the class as being "all persons for whom Stanford Trust Company purchased or renewed Stanford Investment Bank Limited certificates of deposit in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009". Notice of the pendency of the class action was mailed to potential class members on October 4, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the Lillie class filed a complaint against SEI and SPTC in the United States District Court in the Middle District of Louisiana (“Ahders Complaint”), alleging claims essentially the same as those in Lillie.Lillie. In January 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the Ahders proceeding to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. During February 2017, SEI and SPTC filed itstheir response to the Ahders Complaint, and in March 2017 the District Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the stipulated dismissal of all claims in this Complaint predicated on Section 712(D) or Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law. In both cases, as a resultof the proceedings in the Northern District of Texas, only the plaintiffs’ secondary liability claims under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law remain. Limited discovery and motions practice have occurred, including SEI and SPTC’s filing of a dispositive summary judgment motion in the Lillie proceeding. On January 31, 2019, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation remanded the Lillie and Ahders proceedings to the Middle District of Louisiana.
OnWith respect to the Lillie proceeding, on July 9, 2019, the District Court issued an order granting SEI’s Summary Judgment Motion to dismiss the remaining Section 714(B) claim in the Lillie proceeding and denying Plaintiffs’ Motion for Continuance of SEI and SPTC’s Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to Rule 56(d). On July 17, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration and/or New Trial. The Court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for Reconsideration and/or New Trial and entered a Final Judgment in favor of SEI and SPTC on August 15, 2019. On August 27, 2019, Plaintiffs-Appellants filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit of the District Court's dismissal of the Lillie matter. On November 20, 2019, Plaintiffs-Appellants filed a Motion in Support of the Notice of Appeal. On January 17, 2020, SEI and SPTC timely filed their brief in opposition to the Plaintiffs-Appellants' motion for appeal. On February 7, 2020, Plaintiffs- Appellants filed their reply brief.The parties are currently waiting for oral argument to be scheduled.

OnWith respect to the Ahders proceeding, on July 16, 2019, SEI and SPTC filed a Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to Rule 56(d) in the Ahders proceeding to have the remaining Section 714(B) claim dismissed.
On July 17, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration and/or New Trial as toJanuary 24, 2020, the July 9, 2019 Ruling and Order (ECF 146) by the Honorable Brian A.

On August 27, 2019, PlaintiffsMarch 17, 2020, Plaintiffs-Appellants filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of AppealAppeals for the Fifth Circuit of the District Court's dismissal of the Ahders matter. Plaintiffs’ MotionSimilar to the Lillie matter, all motions and briefs in Supportsupport of the Notice of Appeal mustparties’ positions have been filed and the parties are currently waiting for oral argument to be filed with the Court by November 20, 2019. If Plaintiffs’ Motion in Support of Appeal is filed, SEI intends to contest the Plaintiffs' appeal.scheduled.
Another case, filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, also was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. The schedule for responding to that Complaint has not yet been established.
NaN additional cases remain in the Parish of East Baton Rouge. Plaintiffs filed petitions in 2010 and have granted SEI and SPTC indefinite extensions to respond. No material activity has taken place since.
In 2 additional cases, filed in East Baton Rouge and brought by the same counsel who filed the Lillie action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subject matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). The matters were removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and consolidated. The court then dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matters were remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.
While the outcome of this litigation remains uncertain, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously. Because of uncertainty in the make-up of the Lillie class, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the relative lack of discovery regarding damages, causation, mitigation and other aspects that may ultimately bear upon loss, the Company is not reasonably able to provide an estimate of loss, if any, with respect to the foregoing lawsuits.

Other Matters
The Company is also a party to various other actions and claims arising in the normal course of business that the Company does not believe are material. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or the manner in which the Company conducts its business. Currently, the Company does not believe the amount of losses associated with these matters can be estimated. While the Company does not believe that the amount of such losses will, when liquidated or estimable, be material to its financial position, the assumptions may be incorrect and any such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or the manner in which the Company conducts its business in the period(s) during which the underlying matters are resolved.

The following items had a significant impact on our financial results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018:2019:
Revenue from Asset management, administration and distribution fees increased primarily from higher average assets under administration from positive cash flows from new and existing clients in ourthe Investment Managers segment. Our average assets under administration increased $77.3$73.1 billion, or 14%12%, to $623.9$697.0 billion in the first nine months of 20192020 as compared to $546.6$623.9 billion during the first nine months of 2018. 2019.
Our average assets under management, excluding LSV, decreased $1.1increased $8.4 billion to $228.3$236.7 billion in the first nine months of 20192020 as compared to $229.4$228.3 billion during the first nine months of 2018.2019. The increase was primarily due to market appreciation from the strong recovery of capital markets during the third quarter 2020 from the downturn caused by the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Information processing and software servicing fees in our Private Banks segment decreased by $5.9$10.8 million during the first nine months of 20192020 due to decreased non-recurring fees and previously announced client losses.
Our proportionate share in the earnings of LSV decreased to $86.5 million in the first nine months of 2020 as compared to $112.8 million in the first nine months of 2019 due to lower assets under management from negative cash flows from existing clients, market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and client losses.

We continue to invest in new business opportunities such as comparedour One SEI strategy and IT Services offering. The majority of these costs are recorded in the Investments in New Businesses segment and are included in Consulting, outsourcing and professional fees on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Our operating expenses in our Investment Managers segment increased primarily due to $123.4higher personnel costs to service new clients.
Travel and promotional-related expenses declined by $11.9 million during the first nine months of 2020 as our sales and client relationship personnel adapted to COVID-19 restrictions.
We capitalized $17.2 million in the first nine months of 2018 due2020 for the SEI Wealth Platform as compared to negative cash flows, lost clients, lower performance fees and lower assets under management from LSV's existing clients from the significant market depreciation in late 2018. Market appreciation and new client activity during 2019 partially offset the decline in LSV's assets under management.

Page 30 of 48





Our operating expenses, primarily personnel costs, increased in the first nine months of 2019. These expenses are primarily related to servicing existing clients and acquiring new clients. The increase was partially offset by cost containment measures implemented in late 2018 and early 2019. These operating expenses are included in Compensation, benefits and other personnel costs on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We capitalized $26.0 million in the first nine months of 2019 for the SEI Wealth Platform as compared2019. Amortization expense related to $32.5SWP increased to $32.6 million induring the first nine months of 2018. Amortization expense related to SWP increased2020 as compared to $31.6 million during the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $29.7 million during the first nine months of 2018.2019.
Our effective tax rate during the third quarter of 20192020 was 18.9%21.4% as compared to 18.6%18.9% during the third quarter of 2018.2019. Our tax rate was 22.0% during the first nine months of 2020 as compared to 21.0% during the first nine months of 2019 as compared to 17.2% during the first nine months of 2018.2019. The increase in our effective tax rate in the nine month periodfor both periods was primarily due to reducedan increase in our state effective tax rate. Our third quarter 2020 tax rate was also impacted by decreased tax benefits from a lower volume ofassociated with stock option exercise activity (See the caption "Income Taxes" later in this discussion for more information).exercises.
We continued our stock repurchase program during 20192020 and purchased 5.06.2 million shares for $267.2$325.6 million in the nine month period.


Impact of COVID-19 and Other Events

The occurrence of unforeseen or catastrophic events, including the emergence of a pandemic or other widespread health emergency or concerns over the possibility of such an emergency, could create economic and financial disruptions, and could lead to operational difficulties that could impair our ability to manage our business. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 quickly spread globally, leading the World Health Organization to declare the COVID-19 virus outbreak a global pandemic in March 2020. Since that time, governmental authorities have implemented numerous and varying measures to stall the spread and ameliorate the impact of COVID-19, including travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, curfews, shelter in place and safer-at-home orders, business shutdowns and closures, and have also implemented multi-step policies with the goal of re-opening domestic and global markets. Certain jurisdictions have begun re-opening only to return to restrictions in the face of increases in new COVID-19 cases. Recent developments include the phased re-opening of domestic and global markets to varying degrees.
In March 2020, we executed upon our business resiliency and contingency plans. To date, our remote capabilities have proven to be effective during the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic with almost the entire workforce working remotely, with only a very limited number of on-site activities in our operational offices continuing to be performed.
We continue to closely monitor the domestic and international landscape for changes in governmental measures both in the United States and in the locations where we rely on critical outsourced services. We continue to be in regular contact with regulators, clients and vendors to confirm the measures taken to continue operating during this crisis, taking into consideration the latest announcements from state and federal authorities. We are also in continuous communication with our workforce to provide for the health and welfare of our employees working remotely and have implemented a return plan that is available for review on our website for those employees working in our operational offices. Currently, we have approximately 250 employees that routinely work out of our offices world-wide. We will monitor the ability of these individuals to work as safely as possible at our offices and make adjustments to the number of on-site personnel (either increases or decreases) accordingly. We expect that the individual circumstances of our employees regarding school, childcare, care-giving and underlying health concerns will significantly impact our ability to return staff to their primary office locations.
The majority of our revenues are based on the value of assets invested in investment products that we manage or administer which are affected by changes in the capital markets and the portfolio strategy of our clients or their customers. The market volatility in response to measures taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 negatively impacted our asset-based fee revenues and partially offset our revenue growth. Additionally, changes in the portfolio strategy of our clients or their customers in response to market volatility resulted in asset flows into our lower margin liquidity products and negatively impacted our earnings.
While we have developed and implemented and continue to develop and implement health and safety protocols, business continuity plans and crisis management protocols designed to mitigate the potentially negative impact of COVID-19 to our employees and our business, the extent of the impact of the pandemic on our business and financial results will continue to depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict and which will vary by market, including the duration and scope of the pandemic, global economic conditions during and after the pandemic, governmental actions

that have been taken, or may be taken in the future, in response to the pandemic, the extent that critical public and private infrastructure functions upon which we rely are suspended and changes in investor and consumer behavior in response to the pandemic. The resulting market conditions may adversely affect our revenues and earnings derived from assets under management and administration.
On May 17, 2020, M.J. Brunner (Brunner), one of our third-party developers/vendors that provides development services and application management for two of our client applications, experienced a ransomware attack. We are aware that certain client data was illegally accessed and revealed by cybercriminal(s). The applications themselves were not compromised by this attack. We take our clients’ security very seriously, and we continue to work with Brunner, the FBI and our impacted clients to understand the extent to which SEI’s or our clients’ data has been exposed. We are also working with the appropriate parties with respect to notification and remediation protocols. The root cause of the attack was not predicated on vulnerability within SEI’s network, and neither SEI’s network nor operations were compromised, attacked or otherwise affected as part of this incident. While there were direct and indirect expenses associated with the incident in the second and third quarters of 2020, and we expect there will continue to be costs associated with the incident going-forward, it is not expected these will be material. We note that several regulatory bodies who routinely review our operations, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the United States Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), have requested information with respect to, and are investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding, the ransomware attack on Brunner. We have begun producing documents and information to these bodies regarding this matter. We expect to continue to engage in discussions with these bodies and that we may be contacted by, engage with and provide information to additional governmental or regulatory bodies or authorities.
On July 1, 2020, one of our storage arrays supported by our third party vendor, Dell-EMC, failed due to the operation of an application deployed by the vendor as part of our production infrastructure. As a consequence of the hardware failure, transactional activities on our platforms were extremely limited on July 1st and 2nd. All systems are currently on-line and 100% functional. This event was not caused by a third-party actor. While there were direct and indirect expenses in the quarter, and we expect there will continue to be costs associated with the outage going-forward, it is not expected these will be material. In response to the outage, we have launched a project internally, that will be supported by third-party experts, to identify tactical and strategic improvements that we should make across our enterprise technology footprint, including a review and improvement of our technical and operational resiliency plans and capabilities. We expect that this work will lead to recommendations that will result in additional investments of capital in hardware, software and personnel. We expect these costs will include both new investments as well as a reprioritization of current spend. Currently, we are not able to fully-estimate the total amount of additional expense as this will be part of an ongoing strategy around recovery and resiliency.

Net gain (loss) from investments
Net gains from investments in the three months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily due to unrealized gains recorded in current earnings related to LSV-sponsored investment funds and Company-sponsored mutual funds from market appreciation. Net loss from investments in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were primarily due to unrealized losses recorded in current earnings related to LSV-sponsored investment funds and Company-sponsored mutual funds from the market volatility caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (See Note 5).
Interest and dividend income
Interest and dividend income is earned based upon the amount of cash that is invested daily. The increasedecrease in interest and dividend income in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 was due to an overall increasedecline in interest rates.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliate reflects our less than 50% ownership in LSV. As of September 30, 2019,2020, our total partnership interest in LSV was 38.9%38.8%. The table below presents the revenues and net income of LSV and our proportionate share in LSV's earnings.

The decline in our earnings from LSV in the three and nine months ended September 30, 20192020 was due to negative cash flows, lost clients, lower performance fees and decreased assets under management from LSV'snegative cash flows from existing clients, due to the significant market depreciation in late 2018. Market appreciationvolatility and new client activity during the first nine months of 2019 partially offset the decline in LSV's assets under management.losses. Average assets under management by LSV decreased $6.8$18.5 billion to $84.0 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as compared to $102.5 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $109.3 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, a decrease of 6%18%.

The increase in our tax rate for both periods was primarily due to an increase in our state effective tax rate. Our third quarter 2020 tax rate was also impacted by decreased tax benefits associated with stock option exercises. We expect our state effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 was primarily duefull year 2020 to reduced tax benefits due to a lower volume of stock option exercise activitybe at the approximate level as compared to the prior year period.our third quarter 2020 rate.
Stock-Based Compensation
We recognized $15.6$20.5 million and $16.4$15.6 million in stock-based compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 20192020 and 2018,2019, respectively. The amount of stock-based compensation expense we recognize is based upon our estimate of when earnings per sharefinancial vesting targets may be achieved. Any change in our estimate could result in the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be accelerated, spread out over a longer period, or reversed. This may cause volatility in the recognition of stock-based compensation expense in future periods and could materially affect our earnings. In September 2020, we revised our estimate of when some vesting targets are expected to be achieved which resulted in the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be spread out over a longer period than our initial estimate made at December 31, 2019. This change in management's estimate did not result in a material change to our stock-based compensation expense recognized during the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2020; however, we do expect the impact to be reflected during the fourth quarter of 2020 and into 2021.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities, except for the investment funds sponsored by LSV, is determined in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the investment funds sponsored by LSV is measured using the net asset value per share (NAV) as a practical expedient. The fair value of all other financial assets are determined using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs and consist mainly of investments in equity or fixed-income mutual funds that are quoted daily and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and other U.S. government agency securities that are single issuer pools that are valued based on current market data of similar assets. The Company's Level 3 financial liabilities at September 30, 20192020 and December 31, 20182019 consist entirely of the estimated contingent consideration resulting from an acquisition (See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We did not have any other financial liabilities at September 30, 20192020 or December 31, 20182019 that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Regulatory Matters
Like many firms operating within the financial services industry, we are experiencing a difficult and increasingly complex regulatory environment across our markets.markets and the geographies in which we operate. Our current scale and reach as a provider to the financial services industry, the introduction and implementation of new platforms for our financial services industry clients, the increased regulatory oversight of the financial services industry generally, new laws and regulations affecting the financial services industry and ever-changing regulatory interpretations of existing laws and regulations, and a greater propensity of regulators to pursue enforcement actions and other sanctions against regulated entities, have made this an increasingly challenging and costly regulatory environment in which to operate.
SEI and our regulated subsidiaries have undergone or been scheduled to undergo a range of periodic or thematic reviews, examinations or investigations by numerous regulatory authorities around the world, including the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Securities and Exchange Commission,SEC, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom, the Central Bank of Ireland and others. These regulatory activities typically result in the identification of matters or practices to be addressed by us or our subsidiaries and, in certain circumstances, the regulatory authorities require remediation activities or pursue enforcement proceedings against us or our subsidiaries. From time to time, the regulators in different jurisdictions will elevate their level of scrutiny of our operations as our business expands or is deemed critical to the operations of the relevant financial markets. As described under the caption “Regulatory Considerations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the range of possible sanctions that are available to regulatory authorities include limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of registration, censures and fines. The direct and indirect costs of responding to these regulatory activities, implementation of any remediation actions, and of complying with new or modified regulations or guidance, as well as the potential financial costs and potential reputational impact against us of any enforcement proceedings or findings that might result, is uncertain but could have a material adverse impact on our operating results or financial position.

Cash requirements and liquidity needs are primarily funded through our cash flow from operations and our capacity for additional borrowing. At September 30, 2019,2020, our unused sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and the amount available under our credit facility.
Our credit facility provides for borrowings of up to $300.0 million and is scheduled to expire in June 2021 (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). As of October 17, 2019,21, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit of $11.6 million which reduced our amount available under the credit facility to $288.4 million. These letters of credit were primarily issued for the expansion of our corporate headquarters and are due to expire during the fourth quarter of 2019.in late 2020.
The availability of the credit facility is subject to compliance with certain covenants set forth in the agreement. The credit facility contains covenants which restrict our ability to engage in mergers, consolidations, asset sales, investments, transactions with affiliates other than wholly-owned subsidiaries, or to incur liens or other indebtedness including contingent obligations or guarantees, as defined in the agreement. In the event of a default under the credit facility, we would also be restricted from paying dividends on, or repurchasing, our common stock. Currently, our ability to borrow from the credit facility is not limited by any covenant of the agreement. Our credit facility is provided through Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, and a syndicate of other well-established financial institutions. As of October 21, 2020, we are not aware of any issues related to the ability of the lenders to honor the borrowing terms in our credit facility agreement.
Our credit facility contains terms that utilize the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) as a potential component of the interest rate to be applied to the borrowings we may undertake under the agreement (See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We are currently monitoring the actions of LIBOR’s regulator and the implementation of alternative reference rates in advance of the expected discontinuation of LIBOR after 2021 to determine any potential impact to our current credit facility and negotiations for subsequent borrowing agreements.
The majority of our excess cash reserves are primarily placed in accounts located in the United States that invest entirely in SEI-sponsored money market mutual funds denominated in the U.S. dollar. We also utilize demand deposit accounts or money market accounts at several well-established financial institutions located in the United States. Accounts used to manage these excess cash reserves do not impose any restrictions or limitations that would prevent us from being able to access such cash amounts immediately. As of October 17, 2019,21, 2020, the amount of cash and cash equivalents considered free and immediately accessible for other general corporate purposes was $397.0$392.1 million.
Our cash and cash equivalents include accounts managed by our subsidiaries that are used in their operations or to cover specific business and regulatory requirements. The availability of this cash for other purposes beyond the operations of these subsidiaries may be limited. We therefore do not include accounts of our foreign subsidiaries in our calculation of free and immediately accessible cash for other general corporate purposes. With the enactment of the Tax Act, aA portion of the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are deemed repatriated. Any subsequent transfer of available cash related to the repatriated earnings of our foreign subsidiaries could significantly increase our free and immediately accessible cash.
Cash flows from operations decreased $36.4increased $15.0 million in the first nine months of 20192020 compared to the first nine months of 20182019 primarily from the decrease in our net income, lower distribution payments received from our unconsolidated affiliate, LSV, and the negativepositive impact from the change in our working capital accounts.

accounts due to the timing of expense payments and higher distribution payments received from our unconsolidated affiliate, LSV. The increase was partially offset by the decline in our net income.

The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $26.8 million of software development costs in the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $33.4 million in the first nine months of 2018.
The capitalization of costs incurred in developing computer software. We capitalized $18.6 million of software development costs in the first nine months of 2020 as compared to $26.8 million in the first nine months of 2019. The majority of our software development costs are related to significant enhancements for the expanded functionality of the SEI Wealth Platform.
Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2020 were $43.1 million as compared to $30.5 million in the first nine months of 2019. Our expenditures in 2020 and 2019 primarily include purchased software, equipment for our data center operations and the expansion of our corporate headquarters which is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter 2020. Total expenditures related to the expansion during the fourth quarter are expected to be approximately $5.0 million. We are currently evaluating improvements to our information technology infrastructure which, if implemented, will result in additional capital outlays for purchased software and equipment for our data center operations.
Capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2019 were $30.5 million as compared to $21.7 million in the first nine months of 2018. Our expenditures in 2019 and 2018 primarily include purchased software, equipment for our data center operations and the expansion of our corporate headquarters, which is scheduled to be completed in mid 2020. Total expenditures in 2020 related to the expansion are expected to be approximately $20.0 million.
Net cash used in financing activities includes:
The repurchase of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of our common stock through multiple authorizations. Currently, there is no expiration date for our common stock repurchase program. We had total capital outlays of $327.1 million during the first nine months of 2020 and $262.9 million during the first nine months of 2019 and $290.6 million during the first nine months of 2018 for the repurchase of our common stock.
Proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. We received $29.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock during the first nine months of 2020 as compared to $41.9 million during the first nine months of 2019. The decline in proceeds is primarily attributable to a lower level of stock option exercise activity.
Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $103.9 million in the first nine months of 2020 as compared to $100.7 million in the first nine months of 2019.
Proceeds from the issuance of our common stock. We received $41.9 million in proceeds from the issuance of our common stock during the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $78.7 million during the first nine months of 2018. The decrease in proceeds is primarily attributable to a lower level of stock option exercise activity.
Dividend payments. Cash dividends paid were $100.7 million in the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $94.3 million in the first nine months of 2018.
Principal repayments on revolving credit facility. In July 2017, we borrowed $40.0 million for the funding of an acquisition. We made principal payments of $10.0 million each during October 2017 and March 2018 and a final payment of $20.0 million in April 2018 to repay the entire outstanding balance.
We believe our operating cash flow, available borrowing capacity, and existing cash and cash equivalents should provide adequate funds for ongoing operations; continued investment in new products and equipment; our common stock repurchase program expansion of our corporate headquarters and future dividend payments.

In the event of a failure to comply with laws, regulations and requirements of these agencies and authorities, the possible business process changes required or sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on our ability to engage in business for specified periods of time, the revocation of applicable registration as a broker-dealer, investment advisor or other regulated entity, and, as the case may be, censures and fines. Additionally, certain securities and banking laws applicable to us and our subsidiaries provide for certain private rights of action that could give rise to civil litigation. Any litigation could have significant financial and non-financial consequences including monetary judgments and the requirement to take action or limit activities that could ultimately affect our business.
Governmental scrutiny from regulators, legislative bodies and law enforcement agencies with respect to matters relating to our regulated subsidiaries and their activities, services and solutions, our business practices, our past actions and other matters has increased dramatically in the past several years. Responding to these examinations, investigations, actions and lawsuits, regardless of the ultimate outcome of the proceeding, is time consuming and expensive and can divert the time and effort of our senior management from our business. Penalties, fines and changes to business processes sought by regulatory authorities have increased substantially over the last several years, and certain regulators have been more likely in recent years to commence enforcement actions or to advance or support legislation targeted at the financial services industry. We continue to be subject to inquiries from examinations and investigations by supervisory and enforcement divisions of regulatory authorities and expect this to continue in the future. We believe this is also the case with many of our regulated clients. Governmental scrutiny and legal and enforcement proceedings can also have a negative impact on our reputation, our relationship with clients and prospective clients, and on the morale and performance of our employees, which could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.
We are subject to the USA PATRIOT Act of 2001, which contains anti-money laundering and financial transparency laws and requires implementation of regulations applicable to financial services companies, including standards for verifying client identification and monitoring client transactions and detecting and reporting suspicious activities. Anti-money laundering laws outside the United States contain similar requirements. We offer investment and banking solutions that also are subject to regulation by the federal and state securities and banking authorities, as well as foreign regulatory authorities, where applicable. Existing or future regulations that affect these solutions could lead to a reduction in sales of these solutions or require modifications of these solutions.
Compliance with existing and future regulations and responding to and complying with recent increased regulatory activity affecting broker-dealers, investment advisors, investment companies, financial institutions and their service providers could have a significant impact on us. We periodically undergo regulatory examinations and respond to regulatory inquiries and document requests. In addition, recent and continuing legislative activity in the United States and in other jurisdictions (including the European Union and the United Kingdom) have made and continue to make extensive changes to the laws regulating financial services firms. As a result of these examinations, inquiries and requests, as a result of increased civil litigation activity, and as a result of these new laws and regulations, we engage legal counsel and other subject matter experts, review our compliance procedures, solution and service offerings, and business operations, and make changes as we deem necessary or as may be required by the applicable authority. These additional activities and required changes may result in increased expense or may reduce revenues.
Our bank clients are subject to supervision by federal, state and foreign banking and financial services authorities concerning the manner in which such clients purchase and receive our products and services. Our plan sponsor clients and our subsidiaries providing services to those clients are subject to supervision by the Department of Labor and compliance with employee benefit regulations. Investment advisor and broker-dealer clients are regulated by the SEC, state securities authorities, or FINRA. Existing or future regulations applicable to our clients may affect our clients’ purchase of our products and services.
In addition, see the discussion of governmental regulations in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for a description of the risks that proposed regulatory changes may present for our business.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Information required by this item is set forth under the captions "Our revenues and earnings are affected by changes in capital markets" and "Changes in interest rates may affect the value of our fixed-income investment securities" in Item 1A "Risk Factors" and under the caption "Sensitivity of our revenues and earnings to capital market fluctuations and client portfolio strategy" in Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.2019. There have been no material changes to this information as it is disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2018.2019.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
(b) Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20192020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We implemented internal controls to ensure we adequately evaluated our leases and properly assessed the impact of the new accounting standard related to leases on our consolidated financial statements to facilitate the adoption of this standard on January 1, 2019 as well as the ongoing accounting under the new standard. There were no significant changes to our internal control over financial reporting during 2019 as a result of the ongoing accounting under the new accounting standard.

PART II.    OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.
Stanford Trust Company Litigation
SEI has been named in seven lawsuits filed in Louisiana courts; four of the cases also name SPTC as a defendant. The underlying allegations in all actions relate to the purported role of SPTC in providing back-office services to Stanford Trust Company. The complaints allege that SEI and SPTC participated in some manner in the sale of “certificates of deposit” issued by Stanford International Bank so as to be a “seller” of the certificates of deposit for purposes of primary liability under the Louisiana Securities Law or so as to be secondarily liable under that statute for sales of certificates of deposit made by Stanford Trust Company. Two of the actions also include claims for violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act and possibly conspiracy, and a third also asserts claims of negligence, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the uniform fiduciaries law, negligent misrepresentation, detrimental reliance, violations of the Louisiana Racketeering Act, and conspiracy.
The procedural status of the seven cases varies. The Lillie case, filed originally in the 19th Judicial District Court for the Parish of East Baton Rouge, was brought as a class action and is procedurally the most advanced of the cases. SEI and SPTC filed exceptions, which the Court granted in part, dismissing claims under the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act and permitting the claims under the Louisiana Securities Law to go forward. On March 11, 2013, newly-added insurance carrier defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana. On August 7, 2013, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the matter to the Northern District of Texas where MDL 2099, In re: Stanford Entities Securities Litigation (“(“the Stanford MDL”), is pending. On September 22, 2015, the District Court on the motion of SEI and SPTC dismissed plaintiffs’ claims for primary liability under Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law, but declined to dismiss plaintiffs’ claims for secondary liability under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law based on the allegations pled by plaintiffs. On November 4, 2015, the District Court granted SEI and SPTC's motion to dismiss plaintiffs' claims under Section 712(D) of the Louisiana Securities Law. Consequently, the only claims of plaintiffs remaining in Lillie are plaintiffs' claims for secondary liability against SEI and SPTC under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law. On May 2, 2016, the District Court certified the class as being "all persons for whom Stanford Trust Company purchased or renewed Stanford Investment Bank Limited certificates of deposit in Louisiana between January 1, 2007 and February 13, 2009". Notice of the pendency of the class action was mailed to potential class members on October 4, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, a group of plaintiffs who opted out of the Lillie class filed a complaint against SEI and SPTC in the United States District Court in the Middle District of Louisiana (“Ahders Complaint”), alleging claims essentially the same as those in Lillie.Lillie. In January 2017, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred the Ahders proceeding to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. During February 2017, SEI and SPTC filed itstheir response to the Ahders Complaint, and in March 2017 the District Court for the Northern District of Texas approved the stipulated dismissal of all claims in this Complaint predicated on Section 712(D) or Section 714(A) of the Louisiana Securities Law. In both cases, as a resultof the proceedings in the Northern District of Texas, only the plaintiffs’ secondary liability claims under Section 714(B) of the Louisiana Securities Law remain. Limited discovery and motions practice have occurred, including SEI and SPTC’s filing of a dispositive summary judgment motion in the Lillie proceeding. On January 31, 2019, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation remanded the Lillie and Ahders proceedings to the Middle District of Louisiana.
OnWith respect to the Lillie proceeding, on July 9, 2019, the District Court issued an order granting SEI’s Summary Judgment Motion to dismiss the remaining Section 714(B) claim in the Lillie proceeding and denying Plaintiffs’ Motion for Continuance of SEI and SPTC’s Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to Rule 56(d). On July 17, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration and/or New Trial. The Court denied Plaintiffs’ Motion for Reconsideration and/or New Trial and entered a Final Judgment in favor of SEI and SPTC on August 15, 2019. On August 27, 2019, Plaintiffs-Appellants filed a Notice of Appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit of the District Court's dismissal of the Lillie matter. On November 20, 2019, Plaintiffs-Appellants filed a Motion in Support of the Notice of Appeal. On January 17, 2020, SEI and SPTC timely filed their brief in opposition to the Plaintiffs-Appellants' motion for appeal. On February 7, 2020, Plaintiffs- Appellants filed their reply brief.The parties are currently waiting for oral argument to be scheduled.
OnWith respect to the Ahders proceeding, on July 16, 2019, SEI and SPTC filed a Motion for Summary Judgment pursuant to Rule 56(d) in the Ahders proceeding to have the remaining Section 714(B) claim dismissed.
On July 17, 2019, Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration and/or New Trial as toJanuary 24, 2020, the July 9, 2019 Ruling and Order (ECF 146) by the Honorable Brian A. Jackson denying a continuance ofDistrict Court issued an order granting SEI’s Motion for Summary Judgment pursuantMotion to Rule 56(d).

Another case, filed in the 23rd Judicial District Court for the Parish of Ascension, also was removed to federal court and transferred by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to the Northern District of Texas and the Stanford MDL. The schedule for responding to that Complaint has not yet been established.

Page 45 of 48





Two additional cases remain in the Parish of East Baton Rouge. Plaintiffs filed petitions in 2010 and have granted SEI and SPTC indefinite extensions to respond. No material activity has taken place since.
In two additional cases, filed in East Baton Rouge and brought by the same counsel who filed the Lillie action, virtually all of the litigation to date has involved motions practice and appellate litigation regarding the existence of federal subject matter jurisdiction under the federal Securities Litigation Uniform Standards Act (SLUSA). The matters were removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas and consolidated. The court then dismissed the action under SLUSA. The Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed that order, and the Supreme Court of the United States affirmed the Court of Appeals judgment on February 26, 2014. The matters were remanded to state court and no material activity has taken place since that date.
While the outcome of this litigation remains uncertain, SEI and SPTC believe that they have valid defenses to plaintiffs' claims and intend to defend the lawsuits vigorously. Because of uncertainty in the make-up of the Lillie class, the specific theories of liability that may survive a motion for summary judgment or other dispositive motion, the relative lack of discovery regarding damages, causation, mitigation and other aspects that may ultimately bear upon loss, the Company is not reasonably able to provide an estimate of loss, if any, with respect to the foregoing lawsuits.
SEI Capital Accumulation Plan LitigationSS&C Advent Matter
On SeptemberFebruary 28, 2018,2020, SEI Global Services, Inc. ("SGSI"), a class actionwholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, filed a complaint was filedunder seal in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by Gordon Stevens, individuallyagainst SS&C Advent ("Advent") and asSS&C Technologies Holdings, Inc. ("SS&C") alleging that SS&C and Advent breached the representative of similarly situated persons, and on behalfterms of the SEI Capital Accumulation Plancontract between the parties and asking the Court to hold SS&C and Advent to their bargained-for obligations (the “Plan”"Advent Matter") naming. In addition to Breach of Contract, the Companycomplaint also includes counts for Declaratory Judgment, Tortious Interference with Existing and its affiliated and/or related entities SEI Investments Management Corporation, SEI Capital Accumulation Plan Design Committee, SEI Capital Accumulation Plan Investment Committee, SEI Capital Accumulation Plan Administration Committee,Prospective Contractual Relations, Violation of the New York General Business Law Section 349, Violations of Section 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act, Promissory Estoppel and John Does 1-30 as defendants (the “Stevens Complaint”). The Stevens CompliantBreach of the Covenant of Good Faith and Fair Dealing. SGSI seeks unspecifiedvarious forms of relief, including declaratory judgment, specific performance under the contract, and monetary damages, for defendants’including treble damages and attorney’s fees.
Following various procedural actions, including an amendment of the Company’s complaint to include additional breach of fiduciary duties under ERISA with respectcontract claims, SS&C and Advent filed a motion to selecting and monitoringdismiss the Plan’s investment options and by retaining affiliated investment productsCompany’s compliant.The oral argument regarding the motion to dismiss has occurred. The Court has not yet issued its judgment in the Plan.matter.
AlthoughSEI does not believe that it will have to change providers under the current terms of its contract with SS&C or Advent and that the process of litigating its rights under this contract may be a multi-year process. Consequently, SEI does not believe that the Advent Matter will create any consequence to the services it provides to its clients in the near term. SEI believes that it has alternatives available to it that will enable it to continue to provide currently provided services to its defenses against the plaintiff’s allegations were valid, the Company agreed to settle this matterclients in all material respects in the very early stages ofunlikely event that there ultimately is a negative outcome in the litigationAdvent Matter.
SEI believes it has a strong basis for proving the actions it alleges in order to avoid the high cost of protracted class-action litigationAdvent Matter and internal distractions such cases bring. The written settlement agreement was submittedlooks forward to the Court on July 26, 2019, and is a matter of public record. A Preliminary Approval Order approving the settlement agreement was issued by the Court and the Court has scheduled a fairness hearing for December 18, 2019. The settlement agreement will not be finalized until the Court has issued a final approval after the December 18, 2019. The Company expects final Court approval of the settlement by year-end. The Companyopportunity to assert its rights under contract. SEI expects the financial impact of litigating the settlement agreementAdvent Matter to be immaterial.
Other Matters
The Company is also a party to various other actions and claims arising in the normal course of business that the Company does not believe are material. The Company believes that the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or the manner in which the Company conducts its business. Currently, the Company does not believe the amount of losses associated with these matters can be estimated. While the Company does not believe that the amount of such losses will, when liquidated or estimable, be material to its financial position, the assumptions may be incorrect and any such loss could have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations or the manner in which the Company conducts its business in the period(s) during which the underlying matters are resolved.
