~~Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering~~PWP OpCo was formed under Delaware law on September 29, 2020, an amount of $230,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”) and invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 185 days or less, or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 promulgated under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until the earlier of: (i) the consummation of a Business Combination; (ii) the redemption of any Public Shares in connection with a stockholder vote to amend the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (A) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if it does not complete an initial Business Combination by September 29, 2022 (the “Combination Period”) or (B) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity; or (iii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below, except that interest earned on the Trust Account can be released to pay the Company’s tax obligations, if the Company is unable to complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or upon any earlier liquidation of the Company.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement Units, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) rules provide that the Company’s initial Business Combination must be with one or more target businesses that together have a fair market value equal to at least 80% of the balance in the Trust Account (less any deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on interest earned) at the time of the signing a definitive agreement in connection with a Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination.

The Company will provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of the Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company, solely in its discretion. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay its tax obligations). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the representatives (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants.

The Company will proceed with a Business Combination only if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the outstanding shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination. If a stockholder vote is not required by law and the Company does not decide to hold a stockholder vote for business or other legal reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination.

The Company will also provide its stockholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares in connection with any stockholder vote to approve an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation (i) that would modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of Public Shares if it does not complete an initial Business Combination within the Combination Period or (ii) with respect to any other provisions relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-initial Business Combination activity. The stockholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (initially approximately $10.00 per share, plus any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). The per-share amount to be distributed to stockholders who redeem their shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the representatives (as discussed in Note 6). There will be no redemption rights with respect to the Company’s warrants in connection with such a stockholder vote to approve such an amendment to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not redeem shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

The Business Combination was treated as a reverse recapitalization transaction between entities under common control, whereby PWP OpCo was considered the accounting acquirer and predecessor entity and therefore recognized the carrying value of ~~America (“GAAP”)~~the net assets of FTIV as an equity contribution with no incremental goodwill or intangible assets. The historical operations of PWP OpCo are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect (i) the historical operating results of PWP OpCo prior to the Business Combination and (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Business Combination. See Note 3 – Business Combination for additional discussion related to the transaction.

~~Emerging Growth Company~~

The Company is an “emerging growth company,” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies,consolidated subsidiaries comprising the Company ~~as an emerging growth company, can adopt~~have been eliminated in the ~~new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s~~accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in ~~conformity~~accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting ~~periods.~~

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future events. One of the more significant accounting estimates included in these unaudited condensed financial statements is the determination of the value of the warrant liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and accordingly, the actualperiod. Actual results could differ ~~significantly~~ from those estimates. Estimates and the assumptions underlying these estimates are reviewed periodically, and the effects of revisions are reflected in the period in which they are determined to be necessary.

In preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements, management makes estimates regarding the following:



adequacy of the allowance for credit losses;



measurement and realization of deferred taxes;



measurement of equity-based awards;



evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets;



fair value measurement of financial instruments; and



other matters that affect the reported amounts and disclosures of contingencies in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are presented net of allowance for credit losses based on the Company’s assessment of collectability. The Company regularly reviews its accounts receivable for collectability and an allowance is recognized for credit losses, if required. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, $47.9 million and $5.1 million, respectively, of accrued revenue was included in Accounts receivable, net of allowance on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Accrued revenue represents amounts due from clients and recognized as revenue in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies but unbilled as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Accounts receivable represents amounts due from clients from various industry and geographic backgrounds. As of September 30, 2021, certain accounts receivable in the aggregate amount of $26.5 million were individually greater than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable and were concentrated with 1 client. Of that amount, all was subsequently received after September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, there were 0 accounts receivable individually greater than 10% of the Company’s total accounts receivable.

Allowance for Credit Losses

On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), under the modified retrospective approach. This new standard replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for financial instruments with the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model which requires an estimate of future credit losses.

The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses that, in management’s opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover estimated losses on accounts receivable. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience of its client receivables and taking into consideration current market conditions and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company updates its average credit loss rates periodically and maintains a quarterly allowance review process to consider current factors that would require an adjustment to the credit loss allowance. In addition, the Company periodically performs a qualitative assessment to monitor risks associated with current and forecasted conditions that may require an adjustment to the expected credit loss rates. The Company also regularly reviews the age of the receivables, credit worthiness of the client and the current economic conditions that may affect a client’s ability to pay such amounts owed to the Company and as a result, may recognize a specific credit loss reserve. Changes to expected credit losses during the period are included in General, administrative and other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. After concluding that a reserved accounts receivable is no longer collectible, the Company reduces both the gross receivable and the allowance for credit losses.

Consolidation

The Company’s policy is to consolidate entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) when it has both (i) the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and (ii) the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. PWP is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates PWP OpCo, a VIE. The assets and liabilities of PWP OpCo represent substantially all of the Company's consolidated assets ~~held~~and liabilities with the exception of certain cash, income taxes payable, and deferred tax balances as well as all amounts due pursuant to the tax receivable agreement. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the net assets ofPWP OpCo were $259.9 million and $74.2 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not consolidate any VIEs other than PWP OpCo that were deemed material to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Equity Method Investments

When the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in an entity but exerts significant influence over the entity’s operating and financial decisions, the Company applies the equity method of accounting. The investment balance related to an equity method investee reflects the Company’s share of contributions made to, distributions received from, and the equity earnings and losses of the investee. Equity method investments are included within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company reflects its share of income and losses of the investee in Other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations using the most recently available earnings data for the reporting period.

Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets

The majority of Prepaid expenses and other assets consists of prepaid expenses, and from time to time, deferred offering costs and receivables from carrying brokers for unsettled trades as noted below. Prepaid expenses relate to various services, including subscriptions, software licenses and insurance, which are amortized over the life, related service period or policy. Deferred offering costs are associated with the reorganization and recapitalization efforts related to the pursuit of becoming a publicly traded company. The Company initially pursued a traditional initial public offering but later terminated this process in May 2020. Upon termination, the Company expensed all previously deferred offering costs totaling $14.8 million to Professional fees on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Later in 2020, the Company reinitiated efforts of becoming a publicly traded company via the Business Combination and deferred certain offering costs until the Closing Date. These costs were netted against proceeds of the Business Combination on the Closing Date, and as such, 0 deferred offering costs are included within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2021. As of December 31, 2020, cumulative offering costs of $9.1 million were deferred within Prepaid expenses and other assets.

Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Securities Canada, ULC (“TPH Canada”) executes certain client trades through a counterparty other than its carrying broker (referred to as “broker-to-broker trades”). Per the introducing broker agreement between TPH Canada and its carrying broker, TPH Canada assumes the risk of any failed obligations with respect to broker-to-broker trades and is required to reimburse the carrying broker for any loss which the carrying broker may sustain as a result of these trades. TPH Canada is deemed to be a principal with regards to broker-to-broker trades; and therefore, the value of unsettled broker-to-broker trades as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 in the ~~Trust Account~~amount of $12.8 million and $0.1 million, respectively, was recorded as a receivable from the carrying broker or other counterparty as well as a corresponding payable to the carrying broker or other counterparty, which were ~~held~~included in ~~U.S. Treasury Securities Money Market Funds.~~Prepaid expenses and other assets and Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Subsequent to September 30, 2021, these trades were settled and the related receivable and payable were derecognized.

Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within~~equity in the ~~control~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. The Company’s Class A common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 20,338,568 and 21,584,763 shares of Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of the Company’s condensed balance sheets, respectively.

~~Warrant Liabilities~~

~~The Company accounts for~~private warrants as either equity-classified or liability-classified instruments based on an assessment of the warrant’s specific terms and applicable authoritative guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity (“ASC 480”) and ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”). The assessment considers whether the warrants are freestanding financial instruments pursuant to ASC 480, meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, the Company recorded these warrants as liabilities at fair value upon the closing of the Business Combination in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, with subsequent changes in their respective fair values recorded in Change in fair value of warrant liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination as described in Note 3 – Business Combination, PWP entered into a tax receivable agreement with PWP OpCo, Professional Partners and ILPs under which PWP agreed to payment of 85% of the amount of savings, if any, that PWP realizes in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes as a result of (i) exchanges of interests in PWP OpCo for cash or stock of the Company and certain other transactions and (ii) payments made under the tax receivable agreement. Management’s best estimate of the amounts expected to be owed in connection with the tax receivable agreement at each reporting date are reported within the Amount due pursuant to tax receivable agreement on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Income Taxes

Prior to the Business Combination, the Company operated as a partnership, and therefore, was generally not subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes. Subsequent to the Business Combination, PWP is a corporation and is subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes on its proportionate share of taxable income generated by the operating partnership, PWP OpCo, as well as any standalone income (or loss) generated at the PWP entity level. PWP OpCo is treated as a partnership, and as a result, taxable income (or loss) generated by PWP OpCo flows through to its limited partners, including PWP, and is generally not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax at the partnership level. The Company primarily conducts business through disregarded entities held by PWP OpCo, as well as non-U.S. subsidiaries which generally operate as corporate entities in various non-U.S. jurisdictions. Certain non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to income taxes in their respective local jurisdictions, and therefore, the related income tax provision is reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method of accounting pursuant to ASC 480, and whether the warrants meet all of the requirements for equity classification under ASC 815, including whether the warrants are indexed to the Company’s own ordinary shares, among other conditions for equity classification. This assessment, which requires the use of professional judgment, is conducted at the time of warrant issuance and as of each subsequent quarterly period end date while the warrants are outstanding.

For issued or modified warrants that meet all of the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a component of additional paid-in capital at the time of issuance. For issued or modified warrants that do not meet all the criteria for equity classification, the warrants are required to be recorded as a derivative liability at their initial fair value on the date of issuance, and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the warrants are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the Public Warrants was initially measured using a binomial / lattice model with subsequent periods measured at the trading price, whereas the Private Placement Warrants were initially and subsequently measured using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model. (see Note 9).

~~The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of~~ (“ASC ~~Topic 740 “Income Taxes,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income~~740”). Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are ~~computed~~recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the ~~financial statement and tax bases~~carrying amounts of assets and liabilities ~~that will result~~and their respective tax bases, using tax rates in ~~future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to~~effect for the ~~periods~~year in which the differences are expected to ~~affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce~~reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets toand liabilities is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the amount, ~~expected~~timing and character of the Company’s future taxable income. When evaluating the realizability of deferred tax assets, all evidence – both positive and negative – is considered.

The Company analyzes its tax positions for all U.S. federal, state and local tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns in accordance with the provisions of ASC ~~740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute~~740. This standard establishes consistent thresholds for recognizing the benefits of tax return positions in the financial ~~statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not~~statements as more-likely-than-not to be sustained by the relevant taxing authority upon ~~examination by taxing authorities.~~audit. This standard requires a two-step process in which (i) determination is made whether it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained based on the technical merits of the position, and (ii) those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recognized as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. If upon performance of an assessment pursuant to ASC 740 the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist that do not meet the minimum threshold for recognition of the related tax benefit, a liability is recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company recognizes ~~accrued~~ interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as ~~income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax~~Interest expense and General, administrative and other expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Equity-Based Compensation

Equity-based compensation relates to equity-based awards granted to employees and partners of the Company. In all instances of equity-based awards, compensation expense is recognized over the requisite vesting period in an amount equal to the fair value of the awards at the grant date. Equity-based compensation expense for employees and partners are included in Compensation and benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and noequity-based compensation expense for non-employees is included in Professional fees on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 13 – Equity-Based Compensation for detail of amounts ~~accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2021.~~included in each financial statement line item. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards as they occur rather than applying an estimated forfeiture rate. For an award with service-only conditions that has a graded vesting schedule, the Company recognizes the compensation cost for the entire award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, ensuring that the amount recognized is ~~currently~~at least equal to the vested portion of the award at each reporting date.

Non-Controlling Interests

For entities that are consolidated but not ~~aware~~100% owned, a portion of ~~any issues under review~~the income or loss and equity is allocated to holders of the non-controlling interest.

Net Income (Loss) Per ~~Common~~ Share

~~Net~~Basic net income (loss) per ~~common~~ share is ~~computed~~calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Class A common shareholders by the ~~weighted average number~~weighted-average shares of Class A common shares outstanding without the consideration for potential dilutive securities. Diluted net income (loss) per share represents basic net income (loss) per share adjusted to include the ~~period. The Company has not considered the~~potentially dilutive effect of outstanding unvested share awards, warrants, ~~sold in the Initial Public Offering~~ and ~~private placement to purchase 7,870,000~~PWP OpCo Units that are exchangeable into shares of Class A common stock ~~in the calculation of diluted~~on a one-for-one basis. Diluted net income (loss) per share ~~since the exercise of the warrants are contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.~~

The Company’s statements of operations includes a presentation of income per share for common shares subject to possible redemption in a manner similar to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted, for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, by the weighted average number of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding since original issuance. Net income per share, basic and diluted, for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculatedcomputed by dividing the net income ~~adjusted for income~~ attributable to Class A ~~redeemable~~ common ~~stock, net of applicable franchise and income taxes,~~shareholders by the ~~weighted average~~weighted-average number of shares of Class A ~~and Class B non-redeemable~~ common stock outstanding for the ~~period.

~~Concentration of Credit Risk~~

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000. The Company has not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

~~Fair Value of Financial Instruments~~

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying condensed balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

As of March 31, 2021, the carrying values of cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company’s portfolio of marketable securities held in the Trust Account is comprised of investments in U.S. Treasury securities with an original maturity of 185 days or less. The fair value for trading securities is determined using quoted market prices in active markets.

~~Recent Accounting Standards~~

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic: 815-40) and Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

~~NOTE 3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING~~(Unaudited)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts and Where Otherwise Noted)

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 23,000,000 Units, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of their over-allotment option in the amount of 3,000,000 Units, at a purchase price of $10.00 per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50, subject to adjustment (see

Note ~~7).~~

~~NOTE 4. PRIVATE PLACEMENT~~

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC purchased 610,000 Private Placement Units at a price of $10.00 per Private Placement Unit, for an aggregate purchase price of $6,100,000. Each Private Placement Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock and one-third of one warrant (the “Private Placement Warrant”). Each whole Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The proceeds from the Private Placement Units were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a 3 – Business Combination within the Combination Period, the proceeds from the sale of the Private Placement Units will be used to fund the redemption of the Public Shares (subject to the requirements of applicable law) and the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Private Placement Warrants.

~~NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS~~

~~Founder Shares~~

In November 2018, the Company issued an aggregate of 7,382,500 shares of common stock to the Sponsor (the “Founder Shares”) for an aggregate purchase price of $25,000. The Company received payment for the Founder Shares in May 2019.

On June 13, 2019, the Company filed an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation to, among other things, create two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B, and to convert the outstanding Founder Shares into shares of Class B common stock. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock upon consummation of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments, as described in Note 7. Additionally, on June 13, 2019, the Company completed an approximate 1.3333333-for-1 forward stock split of its common stock. Also, on August 10, 2020, the Sponsor contributed back to the Company, for no consideration, 1,973,000 Founder Shares. As a result of the foregoing transactions, the Sponsor now holds 7,870,000 Founder Shares, of which 1,000,000 shares were subject to forfeiture to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment option was not exercised in full or in part, so that the Founder Shares would represent 25% of the Company’s aggregate Founder Shares, Private Placement Shares and issued and outstanding Public Shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to fully exercise their over-allotment option, 1,000,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture.

The Insiders have agreed not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Founder Shares (except to permitted transferees) (i) with respect to 25% of such shares, until consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination, (ii) with respect to 25% of such shares, until the closing price of the Class A common stock exceeds $12.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of a Business Combination, (iii) with respect to 25% of such shares, until the closing price of the Class A common stock exceeds $13.50 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of a Business Combination, and (iv) with respect to 25% of such shares, until the closing price of the Class A common stock exceeds $17.00 for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period following the consummation of a Business Combination or earlier, in any case, if, following a Business Combination, the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the public stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

~~Administrative Services Agreement~~

The Company entered into an agreement, commencing on September 25, 2020 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor $20,000 per month for office space, administrative and shared personnel support services. For the three months ended March 31,24, 2021, the Company ~~incurred and paid $60,000 in fees for these services.~~

~~Promissory Note — Related Party~~

~~On June 12, 2019, as amended on August 5, 2020, the Company issued~~consummated a ~~promissory note~~business combination pursuant to the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company up to an aggregate of $500,000 to be used for the payment of costs related to the Initial Public Offering (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note was non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on the earlierBusiness Combination Agreement dated as of December ~~31,~~29, 2020, ~~or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The outstanding balance under the Promissory Note of $90,869 was repaid at the closing of the Initial Public Offering on September 29, 2020.~~

~~Related Party Loans~~

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor, members of the Company’s management team or any of their respective affiliates or other third parties may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”), which will be repaid only upon the consummation of a Business Combination. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Company may use a portion of any funds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans; however, no proceeds from the Trust Account may be used for such repayment. If such funds are insufficient to repay the Working Capital Loans, the unpaid amounts would be forgiven. Up to $1,500,000 of the Working Capital Loans may be converted into units at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the holder. The units would be identical to the Private Placement Units. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no amounts outstanding under the Working Capital Loans.

~~NOTE 6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES~~

~~Risks and Uncertainties~~

Management continues to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and has concluded that while it is reasonably possible that the virus could have a negative effect on the Company’s financial position and/or search for a target company, the specific impact is not readily determinable as of the date of these financial statements.

Note4 – Revenue and Receivables from Contracts with Customers

The services provided under contracts with clients include transaction-related advisory services, fairness opinion services, research and trading services, and underwriting services, each of which are typically identified as a separate performance obligation in contracts that contain more than one type of service. As discussed in detail below, each performance obligation meets the criteria for either over time or point in time revenue recognition. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenue between over time and point in time recognition:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021		2020		2021		2020
Over time	$	167,981	$	113,246	$	562,286	$	314,060
Point in time		9,446		9,598		40,463		15,781
Total revenues	$	177,427	$	122,844	$	602,749	$	329,841

Additionally, the Company is typically reimbursed for certain professional fees and other expenses incurred that are necessary in order to provide services to the client. These fees and related reimbursements are recorded when incurred to the relevant expense item and Revenues, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Reimbursable expenses billed to clients was $1.2 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.6 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Transaction-Related Advisory Services

The Company is contracted to provide different investment banking and advisory services that vary depending on the nature of the contract with each individual client. These transaction-related advisory services include, but are not limited to, providing financial advice and assistance in analyzing, structuring, planning, negotiating and effecting a transaction, providing financial advice with regard to a restructuring of a client’s capital structure, which may or may not result in a court-approved bankruptcy plan, and providing certain ongoing services, including research and analysis on potential targets, identifying potential investors, and financial modeling for potential transactions. Typically, the Company provides such advisory services to its clients to assist with corporate finance activities such as mergers and acquisitions, reorganizations, tender offers, leveraged buyouts, and the pricing of securities to be issued. In most circumstances, the Company considers the nature of the promises in its advisory contracts to comprise of a single performance obligation of providing advisory services to its clients. Although there may be many individual services provided in a typical contract, the individual services are not distinct within the context of the contract; rather the performance of these individual services helps to fulfill one overall performance obligation to deliver advisory services to the client.

The Company recognizes revenue from providing advisory services when or as its performance obligations are fulfilled. The majority of the Company’s advisory revenue is recognized over time. However, certain performance obligations may be recognized at a point in time if the performance obligation represents a singular objective that does not transfer any notable value until formally completed, such as when issuing fairness opinions, which are further discussed below. The Company provides its advisory services on an ongoing basis, which, for example, may include evaluating and selecting one of multiple strategies. During such engagements, the Company’s clients continuously benefit from its advice as the Company is providing financial and strategic advice throughout the engagement, and, accordingly, over time revenue recognition matches the transfer of such benefits.

(Unaudited)

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts and Where Otherwise Noted)

Although the Company’s transaction-related advisory services meet the criteria for over time revenue recognition, the fee structures often involve an “all or nothing” consideration amount and the associated fees are predominantly considered variable as they are often based on the ultimate transaction value or the outcome ultimately achieved and/or are susceptible to factors outside of the Company’s influence such as third-party negotiations, regulatory approval, court approval, and shareholder votes. Accordingly, a large portion of the fees associated with these services is constrained until substantially all services have been provided, specified conditions have been met and/or certain milestones have been achieved, and it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period.

In some cases, a portion of the variable fees may be deferred based on the services remaining to be completed, if any (e.g., when announcement fees are earned but additional services are expected to be provided until the transaction closes). The determination of when and to what extent to recognize variable fees may require significant judgment, particularly when milestones are met near the end of a reporting period and in cases where additional services are expected to be provided subsequent to the achievement of the milestone. Fixed fees specified in the Company’s contracts, which may include upfront fees and retainers, are recognized on a systematic basis over the estimated period in which the related services are performed.

Payments for transaction-related advisory services are generally due upon completion of a specified event or, for retainer fees, periodically over the course of the engagement. The Company recognizes a receivable between the date of completion of the event and payment by the client.

Fairness Opinion Services

Although the Company usually provides fairness opinion services in conjunction with and in the same contract as other transaction-related advisory services, fairness opinion services are considered to be a separate performance obligation in such contracts because they could be obtained separately and the Company is able to fulfill its promise to transfer transaction-related advisory services independent from its promise to provide fairness opinion services. The Company typically charges a separate, fixed fee associated with fairness opinion services that represents the standalone selling price of the fairness opinion services. The fee is recognized at the point in time at which the fairness opinion is delivered rather than over the period of time during which the services are being performed because the client does not simultaneously receive and consume the benefit of the Company’s performance to provide the fairness opinion but rather receives the benefit upon delivery of the fairness opinion itself. Payments for fairness opinion services are generally due upon delivery of the fairness opinion. The Company recognizes a receivable between the date of delivery of the fairness opinion and payment by the client.

Research and Trading Services

The Company provides research on the energy and related industries and related equity and commodity markets. The Company’s research clients continuously benefit from the research provided throughout arrangements between the Company and such clients, and accordingly, over time revenue recognition matches the transfer of such benefits. Recipients of this research compensate the Company for these market insights in two ways – either by direct payment (the amount of which is typically at the client’s discretion based upon the perceived value of the research services provided) or through trades directed through the Company’s trading desk (for commission generation) or through third-party commission sharing agreements. These services are sometimes referred to as “soft-dollar arrangements,” and the amount of payment is typically based on a percentage of commission income generated from the client’s trades executed by the Company. The commission per share and volume of trades are at the client’s discretion based upon the perceived value of the research services and trade execution provided. Generally, the Company does not provide trading services separate and apart from research services (i.e., clients do not typically execute trades through the Company in the normal course of business; rather, trade execution is used as a means to be compensated for research services).

Because fees received for research services, and any associated trading services, are typically at the complete discretion of the client and are based on the value the client perceives in the research services provided, the entire transaction price associated with such services is variable. Accordingly, because of the broad range of possible outcomes and the inability to predict the value the client will ascribe to such services, the Company fully constrains the revenue associated with research services, and any associated trading services, until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved, which is typically upon the earlier of receiving an invoice request from the client or receiving payment from the client.

Underwriting Services

Revenue associated with underwriting services includes management fees, selling concessions and underwriting fees attributable to public and private offerings of equity and debt securities. The nature of the Company’s underwriting services is raising capital on behalf of an issuer and, therefore, is typically accounted for as a single performance obligation. A separate performance obligation is identified in instances in which the contract with the client includes an over-allotment option. The Company’s underwriting services generally do not meet any of the requirements for revenue to be recognized over time, and therefore, the Company typically recognizes underwriting revenue on the pricing date of the offering, which is when the Company receives the pricing wire communication from the lead underwriter detailing the underwriting fees to which the Company is entitled. Similarly, the performance obligation associated with the over-allotment is satisfied at the point in time at which the option is exercised.

The Company’s role in underwriting commitments is usually as a co-manager or passive bookrunner, rather than as the lead underwriter. Accordingly, the Company estimates its share of transaction-related expenses incurred by the underwriting syndicate on the pricing date of the offering and presents these expenses gross within Travel and related expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Such amounts are adjusted to reflect actual expenses in the period in which the Company receives the final settlement, typically within 90 days following the closing of the transaction.

Contract Costs

Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are expensed as incurred as such costs are generally not recoverable. Costs to fulfill contracts consist of out-of-pocket expenses that are part of performing transaction-related advisory services and are typically expensed as incurred as these costs are related to performance obligations that are satisfied over time.

Remaining Performance Obligations and Revenue Recognized from Past Performance

As of September 30, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations yet to be satisfied is $7.0 million and the Company generally expects to recognize this revenue within the next twelve months. Such amounts primarily relate to the Company’s performance obligations of providing transaction-related advisory services and fairness opinion services.

The Company recognized revenue of $53.5 million and $309.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $39.3 million and $147.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, related to performance obligations that were satisfied or partially satisfied in prior periods, mainly due to constraints on variable consideration in prior periods being resolved for transaction-related advisory services.

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment. The Company records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and the Company has an unconditional right to payment.

The Company records deferred revenue (otherwise known as contract liabilities) when it receives fees from clients that have not yet been earned or when the Company has an unconditional right to consideration before all performance obligations are complete (e.g., receipt of certain announcement, retainer or upfront fees before the performance obligation has been fully satisfied). As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded $5.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively, for these contract liabilities which are presented as Deferred revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, $9.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of the respective beginning deferred revenue balance was recognized as revenue and was primarily related to transaction-related advisory services performance obligations that are recognized over time.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses activity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Beginning balance (1)	$	1,104		$	1,087		$	1,045		$	1,923
Bad debt expense		916			3,099			290			2,853
Write-offs		(18	)		(38	)		(46	)		(596	)
Recoveries		0			197			710			197
Foreign currency translation and other adjustments		(1	)		(18	)		2			(50	)
Ending balance	$	2,001		$	4,327		$	2,001		$	4,327

(1)

Beginning balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes the cumulative adjustment of $0.2 million, which reflects the increase in the Company’s allowance for credit losses upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 and the CECL model on January 1, 2020.

Note 5 – Leases

The Company leases office space and certain office equipment under operating lease agreements. The Company determines if an arrangement or contract is a lease at inception and does not separate lease and non-lease components of the contract. The Company records the present value of its commitments for leases with terms of more than one year on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as a right-of-use asset with the corresponding liability. Right-of-use assets are subject to certain adjustments for lease incentives, deferred rent and initial direct costs. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease components and non-lease components in calculating the net present value of the lease payments on office space and office equipment leases. Thus, the measurement of the right-of-use asset and corresponding lease obligation use one single combined component. All leases were determined to be operating leases. Right-of-use assets represent the Company’s right to use the underlying assets for their lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from these leases. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term for new leases and over the remaining lease term for existing leases already in place at January 1, 2019 (date of adoption).

The implicit discount rates used to determine the present value of the Company’s leases are not readily determinable, thus, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its lease payments. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgement. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company’s recent debt issuances and market conditions at the time of adoption or upon entering into a new lease, as applicable. The Company weights the rates appropriately depending on the term of the leases. Renewal and termination terms of the Company’s leases vary depending on the lease. The Company estimates the expected lease terms by assuming the exercise of renewal options and extensions where an economic penalty exists that would preclude the abandonment of the lease at the end of the initial non-cancelable term and the exercise of such renewal or extension is at the sole discretion of the Company. Certain lease agreements are secured by security deposits, which are reflected in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

In conjunction with the Separation, the Company entered into sublease agreements for portions of its Houston and New York office spaces with the Asset Management business through 2027 and 2022, respectively. These subleases are considered operating leases. The subleases do not include renewal options and the Company has the right to terminate these subleases for any reason after giving 90 days prior written notice. Sublease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The Company elected the practical expedient not to separate lease components and non-lease components for these subleases. See additional information regarding these subleases in Note 17 – Related Party Transactions.

In May 2021, the Company extended the term of its New York office lease by five months, which resulted in an increase to Lease liabilities and a corresponding increase to Right-of-use lease assets of $5.1 million. On July 26, 2021, the Company executed a lease amendment to vacate a portion of its Houston office space, which resulted in a $1.9 million decrease to Right-of-use lease assets, a $2.4 million decrease to Lease liabilities and a $0.5 million gain recorded in Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Houston sublease agreement with the Asset Management business was terminated in conjunction with this lease amendment.

On August 3, 2021, the Company executed a lease amendment to expand the leased space in its Paris office, which resulted in an increase to Lease liabilities and a corresponding increase to Right-of-use lease assets of $0.5 million.

Note 8 – Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization and consist of the following as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


	September 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Leasehold improvements	$	48,996		$	49,718
Furniture and fixtures		8,107			8,606

Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization		(70,194	)		(90,823	)
Fixed assets, net	$	11,383		$	17,189

Depreciation expense related to fixed assets was $1.6 million and $5.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $1.8 million and $5.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Amortization expense related to software development costs was $0.2 million and $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company disposed of certain obsolete assets, substantially all of which were fully depreciated.

Note 9 – Income Taxes

The following table summarizes the Company’s tax position for the periods presented:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	(9,312	)	$	(95	)	$	24,740		$	(24,740	)
Income tax benefit (expense)	$	(150	)	$	(974	)	$	(2,695	)	$	(2,518	)
Effective income tax rate		(1.61	%)		(1,025.26	%)		10.89	%		(10.18	%)

The Company’s income tax provision and the corresponding annual effective tax rate are based on projected U.S. GAAP income and the currently enacted statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. For interim reporting, the Company estimates the annual effective tax rate based on projected income for the full year and records a quarterly tax provision in accordance with the annual effective tax rate.

The Company’s effective tax rate is dependent on many factors, including the estimated amount of income subject to tax. Consequently, the effective tax rate can vary from period to period. The Company’s overall effective tax rate in each of the periods described above varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily because (i) the Company was not subject to U.S. federal corporate income taxes prior to the Business Combination, (ii) a portion of equity-based compensation expense is non-deductible, both prior to the Business Combination and for the subsequent period and (iii) a portion of the Company’s income is allocated to non-controlling interests held in PWP OpCo in which the majority of any tax liability on such income is borne by the holders of such non-controlling interests and reported outside of the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Business Combination resulted in a $16.1 million increase to the Company’s deferred tax asset primarily related to a step-up in the tax basis of certain assets that will be recovered as those assets are amortized. The remaining $2.3 million of the deferred tax asset balance as of September 30, 2021 is related to local and foreign income taxes in addition to the corporate income taxes resulting from the Business Combination. The Company evaluates the realizability of its deferred tax asset on a quarterly basis and adjusts the valuation allowance when it is more-likely-than-not that all or a portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. Management has recorded a partial valuation allowance related to the outside partnership basis of its investment in PWP OpCo for the amount of the deferred tax asset that is not expected to be realized. The Company believes it is more-likely-than-not that the remaining net deferred tax asset recorded as of September 30, 2021 will be recovered in the future based on all available positive and negative evidence. In connection with the step-up in tax basis generated on the day of the Business Combination, the Company has recorded a payable of $14.1 million pursuant to the terms of the tax receivable agreement.

As of September 30, 2021, the Company has 0t recorded any unrecognized tax benefits associated with uncertain tax positions. The Company does not expect there to be any material changes to uncertain tax positions within 12 months of the reporting date.

Note 10 – Debt

The following is a summary of the Company’s debt as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


	September 30, 2021			December 31, 2020
Convertible Notes	$	0		$	150,000
Revolving Credit Facility		0			27,690
Total debt facilities		0			177,690
Unamortized debt discount and issuance costs (1)		(559	)		(30,725	)
Total debt, net	$	(559	)	$	146,965

(1)

As of September 30, 2021, the Company included unamortized debt issuance costs within Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position since there were no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Convertible Notes

The Company issued 7.0% subordinated unsecured convertible notes with an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million (the “Convertible Notes”) under a Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, the “NPA”) executed on November 30, 2016. The Convertible Notes were due to mature on November 30, 2026 (the “Maturity Date”) unless earlier converted or repaid pursuant to the terms of the NPA. The estimated intrinsic value of the Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) as of issuance was $32.7 million, which was recognized as a discount on the Convertible Notes with an offsetting increase to Partners’ capital. The BCF discount was amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method based on the Maturity Date.

Certain of the persons who held Convertible Notes (each herein referred to as a “Holder”) are partners. Refer to Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for further information.

In December 2020, the Company entered into letter agreements (the “2020 Letter Agreements”) with all Holders, which amended and restated any existing letter agreements, pursuant to which all of the holders (the “Redeeming Holders”) agreed to collectively tender for redemption $150.0 million aggregate principal amount of their Convertible Notes (such Convertible Notes, the “Redeemed Notes”) for cash. Pursuant to the terms of the 2020 Letter Agreements, the Redeeming Holders agreed not to convert their Convertible Notes in connection with the Business Combination.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company redeemed the Convertible Notes for $161.6 million, which included the total outstanding $150.0 million aggregate principal, an applicable premium for Redeeming Holders owning at least $5.0 million of principal, and accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recognized a $39.4 million loss on extinguishment of the Convertible Notes composed of the $10.9 million premium and $28.5 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs.

Debt Discount and Issuance Costs – A portion of the Convertible Notes was issued at a 5.0% original issue discount in the amount of $5.8 million coupled with a 3.0% commitment fee in the amount of $3.5 million. In addition to the discount and commitment fees, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $1.1 million. The debt discounts and original issuance costs were amortized using the effective interest method over the term of the Convertible Notes.

The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes, considering the cash coupon rate of 7.0% as well as amortization of the BCF discount, debt discount and issuance costs, was 11.95% for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 24, 2021 (the date such Convertible Notes were redeemed) as well as for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The aggregate interest expense related to the Convertible Notes was $6.9 million for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 24, 2021 and $3.5 million and $10.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facility

On November 30, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Cadence Bank, N.A. (“Cadence Bank”). In December 2018, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to modify a term loan to a revolving credit facility with a line of credit of $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, theCompany made principal payments on the Revolving Credit Facility of $32.0 million as well as drawdowns of $22.0 million. Applicable only to the period after the Separation and before the Business Combination, the Credit Agreement named PWP Capital Holdings LP as a guarantor of the Revolving Credit Facility and required that financial covenants be determined on a combined basis with the results of both the Company and PWP Capital Holdings LP for the applicable periods ended.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, which included $27.7 million principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In anticipation of the Closing, on June 15, 2021, the Credit Agreement was amended such that as of the Closing Date, (i) the maturity was extended from April 1, 2022 to July 1, 2025, (ii) interest accrues at LIBOR plus a fixed rate of 2.00% per annum (with a 0.25% LIBOR floor) with an alternate base rate option equal to Cadence Bank’s prime rate minus 1.00% (with a 3.25% floor), (iii) up to $15.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, (iv) up to $20.0 million of incremental revolving commitments may be incurred under the Credit Agreement, and (v) certain financial covenants were amended. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had 0 outstanding balance related to the Revolving Credit Facility and no incremental revolving commitments were incurred.

The weighted average interest rate for the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.62% for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 24, 2021 (the Closing Date) and 2.72% and 3.10% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

Debt Issuance Costs – Prior to the Business Combination, the Company incurred $1.8 million in issuance costs related to the Credit Agreement, which were amortized to Interest expense using the effective interest method over the life of the Revolving Credit Facility. The effective interest rate of the Revolving Credit Facility, taking into account these issuance costs, was 3.73% for the period from January 1, 2021 through June 24, 2021 and 3.67% and 3.95% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The amendments described above were accounted for as modifications as opposed to a debt extinguishment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As such, the unamortized original debt issuance costs as well as the additional $0.4 million in fees incurred to amend the facility are being amortized using the effective interest method to Interest expense over the amended remaining term of the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest expense related to the Revolving Credit Facility was $0.1 million and $0.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $0.4 million and $1.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.

In addition, for so long as the 10% Condition is met, the Board may not approve, absent the prior consent of Professional Partners, a number of ordinary course operating activities in respect of the Company, PWP OpCo and PWP OpCo’s subsidiaries.

PWP OpCo Limited Partnership Agreement

Governance and Voting and Economic Rights

On the date of the Closing, PWP OpCo adopted an Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of PWP OpCo (as amended, restated, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “PWP OpCo LPA”). Through the Company’s control of PWP GP, the general partner of PWP OpCo, the Company will have unilateral control (subject to the consent of PWP OpCo’s partners on certain limited matters) over the affairs and decisions of PWP OpCo, including the appointment of officers of PWP OpCo. As such, including through such officers and directors, the Company will be responsible for all ~~other matters submitted~~operational and administrative decisions of PWP OpCo and the day-to-day management of PWP OpCo’s business. Furthermore, PWP GP cannot be removed as the general partner without the Company’s approval. No holders of PWP OpCo Units (the “PWP OpCo Unitholders”), in their capacity as such, will have any authority or right to control the management of PWP OpCo or to bind it in connection with any matter. However, Professional Partners, which is ultimately managed by a ~~vote~~committee of ~~stockholders except as required~~limited partners that manages Professionals GP, the general partner of Professional Partners, will have the ability to exercise majority voting control over the Company by ~~law.~~virtue of its ownership of all outstanding shares of Class B-1 common stock.

~~FINTECH ACQUISITION CORP. IV~~In accordance with the PWP OpCo LPA, the Company intends to use best efforts to cause PWP OpCo to make sufficient cash distributions to the PWP OpCo Unitholders to fund their tax obligations in respect of the income of PWP OpCo that is allocated to them. Generally, these tax distributions will be computed based on the Company’s estimate of the net taxable income of PWP OpCo allocable to such holder of partnership units multiplied by an assumed tax rate equal to the highest effective marginal combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporation (taking into account the non-deductibility of certain expenses and the character of PWP OpCo’s income).

Valuation of Warrants

The public and private warrants meet the definition of a derivative under ASC 815 and as such, the Company ~~follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and~~recorded these warrants as liabilities ~~that are re-measured and reported~~ at fair value ~~at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at~~upon the closing of the Business Combination in accordance with ASC 820 with subsequent changes in their respective fair ~~value at least annually.~~

~~The~~values recorded in Change in fair value of ~~the Company’s financial assets and~~warrant liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuring the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the ~~observable inputs~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements and ~~unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:~~

~~Level 1:~~

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

~~Level 2:~~

Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

~~Level 3:~~

~~Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.~~

~~Initial Measurement – Public Warrants~~

~~The Company established the initial fair value for the Warrants on September 29, 2020, the date~~(i) 15% of the ~~Company’s Initial Public Offering, using a binomial / lattice model for the Public Warrants. The Company allocated the proceeds received from (i) the sale~~number of ~~Units (which is inclusive of one share~~outstanding shares of Class A common stock and ~~one-third~~the outstanding PWP OpCo Units that are exchangeable for shares of ~~one Public Warrant)~~Class A common stock, in each case, on last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, over (ii) the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved and available for issuance in respect to future grants of awards under the PWP Incentive Plan as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year. In addition to the General Share Reserve, 10,200,000 shares of Class A common stock (the ��Transaction Pool Share Reserve”) are reserved for issuance under the plan through the one-year anniversary of the Business Combination, of which (i) up to 7,000,000 shares are reserved for Transaction Pool RSUs (defined below) and (ii) 3,200,000 shares are reserved for Transaction Pool PSUs (defined below).

Certain employees in France and Canada receive dividend equivalents in the form of ~~Private Placement Warrants, first~~additional awards that have the same vesting terms as the original underlying awards. These additional dividend equivalent awards are granted from the General Share Reserve. Awards granted from the General Share Reserve that are subsequently forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expired are available for future grant. However, awards granted from the Transaction Pool Share Reserve that are subsequently forfeited, cancelled, exchanged, surrendered, terminated or expired are not available for future grant. As of September 30, 2021, 3,965,271 total shares remained reserved and available for future issuance under the PWP Incentive Plan.

This settlement was treated as a modification of the award, and as such, the liability balance of $3.9 million as of the RSU grant date was reclassified from Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities to Additional paid-in capital on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2021.

Management PSUs — The service condition requirement with respect to the Management PSUs is generally satisfied in two equal installments subject to continued employment on the third and fifth anniversaries of the grant date. The market condition is satisfied upon the achievement of closing stock prices equal to $15, $20, $25 and $30 for 20 out of any 30 consecutive trading days prior to the fifth anniversary of the grant date, as measured on the last calendar day of each month, subject to linear interpolation between the applicable price points.

The following table summarizes activity related to unvested Management PSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:


	Management PSUs		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Balance at January 1, 2021		0		0
Granted		9,500,000	$	8.86
Vested		0		0
Forfeited		0		0
Balance at September 30, 2021		9,500,000	$	8.86

The weighted average grant date fair value of the Management PSUs granted during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $84.2 million. As of September 30, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Management PSUs was $82.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.92 years.

The Company estimated the fair value of the Management PSUs on the grant date using a Monte-Carlo simulation valuation model. The following table presents the assumptions used for the Management PSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

General Awards

On August 31, 2021, the Company granted RSU awards out of the General Share Reserve that vest upon the achievement of service conditions (the “General RSUs”). The Company expects to grant General RSUs from time to time in the ordinary course of business.

The General RSUs vest over the requisite service period, which is generally one to five years. The grant date fair value of the General RSUs granted during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $7.3 million. As of September 30, 2021, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested General RSUs was $6.9 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.84 years.

The following table summarizes activity related to unvested General RSUs for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:


	General RSUs		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Balance at January 1, 2021		0		0
Granted		524,917	$	13.97
Vested		0		0
Forfeited		0		0
Balance at September 30, 2021		524,917	$	13.97

Voting and Dividend Equivalent Rights

Grantees of the Company’s RSUs and PSUs have no rights as stockholders with respect to the right to vote or the right to receive dividends prior to the date that the underlying shares are issued. If during the period commencing on the grant date and ending on the date the underlying shares are issued, the Company declares a dividend on its shares, then the grantee shall be eligible to receive such dividends on or about the date such shares are issued. Certain employees in France and Canada receive dividends in the form of award grants that match the underlying award from which the dividends were generated. The remaining employees receive such awards in the form of cash.

Legacy Awards and Professional Partners Awards

Prior to the Business Combination, Professional Partners granted certain equity-based awards to partners providing services to PWP OpCo (the “Legacy Awards”). In January 2020, the Company granted Legacy Awards with a grant-date fair value of $6.4 million, which was estimated using the income approach and assumed a range of discount rates between 3.8% and 11.2%. In January 2021, the Company granted Legacy Awards with a grant-date fair value of $9.3 million, which was estimated using the income approach and assumed a range of discount rates between 2.0% and 9.8%. Under the income approach, fair value is determined by converting future projected cash flows to a single present value amount (discounted) using current expectations about those future cash flows.

In connection with the Business Combination and a related internal reorganization of Professional Partners, an ownership structure was implemented that includes a class of partnership units that allocates increases in value and income and distributions on a pro-rata basis to all holders of such partnership units in accordance with their ownership interests. Pursuant to the internal reorganization, existing Legacy Awards were canceled and replaced by converting each limited partner’s capital interests in Professional Partners attributable to PWP OpCo into a combination of original capital units (“OCUs”), value capital units (“VCUs”), and/or alignment capital units (“ACUs”). The OCUs are held by current limited partners of Professional Partners based on a pro-rata allocation of their existing capital and were fully vested upon recapitalization. The VCUs and ACUs (collectively, “Professional Partners Awards”) are held by current working partners and require services to be performed on behalf of PWP OpCo. The Professional Partners Awards are generally subject to a service-based graded vesting schedule over a three to five-year period. Fully vested Professional Partners Awards are exchangeable for PWP OpCo Units and allow for their exchange into Class A common stock of PWP on a one-for-one basis. Holders of Professional Partners Awards and OCUs are entitled to participate in distributions made on PWP OpCo Units underlying their Professional Partners Awards during the vesting period.

(Dollars in Thousands, Except Per Share Amounts and Where Otherwise Noted)

The Company accounted for the cancellation of the Legacy Awards and concurrent grant of Professional Partners Awards as a modification of the Legacy Awards. The fair ~~values as~~value of the Professional Partners Awards granted was determined ~~at initial measurement,~~to be incremental value conveyed to the holders of the Legacy Awards and will be accounted for under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, with the cost reflected in equity-based compensation over the requisite service period. The Company will continue to amortize the unrecognized cost associated with the Legacy Awards over its original vesting schedule. The $301.5 million grant-date fair value of the Professional Partners Awards is based on the closing price of PWP Class A common stock on the date of grant as units in Professional Partners are ultimately exchangeable into shares of PWP Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.

The vesting of Professional Partners Awards does not dilute Perella Weinberg Partners shareholders relative to Professional Partners as Professional Partners’ interest in PWP OpCo does not change as a result of granting those equity awards to its working partners. As a result, all of the compensation expense and corresponding capital contribution associated with the Professional Partners Awards, as well as the remaining ~~proceeds~~compensation expense related to the Legacy Awards, is allocated to non-controlling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. If any Professional Partners Award is forfeited, the value attributable to the forfeited Professional Partners Award will accrete to all limited partners in Professional Partners based on relative ownership at the time of forfeiture. The accretion of value upon forfeiture reflects a reallocation of value attributable to the forfeited Professional Partners Award and does not result in an incremental grant.

On August 31, 2021, certain Professional Partner ACUs and VCUs held by French partners were canceled, and an equal number of Transaction Pool PSUs were issued to such partners. The Company accounted for these transactions as a modification. The grant-date fair value of the Transaction Pool PSUs was based on the closing price of PWP Class A common stock on the date of grant. The total expense associated with the replacement awards will be amortized over the remaining service period for Transaction Pool PSUs. The canceled Professional Partner Awards were reallocated to certain other working partners on August 31, 2021, and the Company accounted for these as a new grant of ACUs and VCUs. The grant date fair value of these awards was $11.5 million which was based on the closing price of PWP Class A common stock on the date of grant.

As of September 30, 2021, there was $28.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost associated with the Legacy Awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.82 years. As of September 30, 2021, there was $285.8 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested Professional Partners Awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.62 years.

The following table presents the expense related to awards that were recorded in Professional fees and components of Equity-based compensation included on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,

The vesting of these awards does not dilute Perella Weinberg Partners shareholders relative to Professional Partners. As such the related equity-based compensation expense is fully attributed to non-controlling interests.

Note 14 – Other Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits includes, but is not limited to, salaries, bonuses (discretionary awards and guaranteed amounts), severance and deferred compensation. In all instances, compensation expense is accrued over the requisite service period.

Deferred Compensation Programs

The Company has various deferred compensation plans. Some plans allow employees to defer cash payments for services performed in the past and some plans require future service. The Company recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period. In addition, certain legacy plans required the Company to invest the deferred amounts into designated brokerage accounts at the employee’s discretion, while others allowed employees to make hypothetical investments in which their deferrals were deemed to be invested. The designated brokerage balances are reflected in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company maintains company-owned life insurance policies which are designed to offset a portion of the liability for the hypothetical investments of these legacy plans. The cash surrender value of these life insurance policies is also included in Prepaid expenses and other assets on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Deferred compensation liabilities will be paid at various intervals through 2025 and are presented within Deferred compensation programs on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Compensation expenses related to these deferred compensation plans was $0.3 million and $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $1.6 million and $4.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and are presented within Compensation and benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Benefit Plans

Certain employees participate in employee benefit plans, which consist of defined contribution plans including (i) profit-sharing plans qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, (ii) a UK pension scheme for U.K. employees and (iii) a Germany pension plan for employees in Germany.

Expenses related to the Company’s employee benefit plans was $1.2 million and $3.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $1.1 million and $3.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and are included in Compensation and benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Separation and Termination Benefits

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company underwent a review of operations and headcount levels and the decision was made to reduce employee headcount. In conjunction with such reduction, affected employees were offered a combination of separation and transition benefits (the “termination cost”). As of September 30, 2020, the termination cost accrued was approximately $5.4 million, which is included in Compensation and benefits in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These termination costs were fully recognized once the service requirement of the affected employees was complete. The termination costs were substantially paid by December 31, 2020.

Note 15 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to Class A Common Shareholders

The Company analyzed the calculation of net income (loss) per share for periods prior to the Business Combination on June 24, 2021 and determined that it resulted in values that would not be meaningful to the users of the condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, net income (loss) per share information has not been presented for periods prior to the Business Combination. The basic and diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to Class A common ~~shares subject~~shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as presented on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, represent only the period after the Business Combination to ~~possible redemption~~September 30, 2021.

Diluted	$	(0.09	)	$	(0.40	)

The impact of Class B common stock has been excluded from the calculation as these shares are entitled to an insignificant amount of economic participation.

The Company uses the treasury stock method to determine the potential dilutive effect of outstanding warrants and unvested RSUs and PSUs and the if-converted method to determine the potential dilutive effect of exchanges of PWP OpCo Units into Class A common stock. The Company adjusts net income (loss) attributable to Class A common shareholders under both the treasury stock method and if-converted method for the reallocation of net income (loss) between Class A common shareholders and non-controlling interests that result upon the assumed issuance of dilutive shares of Class A common stock as if the issuance occurred as of the Closing Date. The Company also adjusts the net income (loss) attributable to Class A common shareholders under the treasury stock method to reverse the effect on earnings of classifying the warrants as liabilities. All adjustments are net of any tax impact.

The following table presents the weighted average potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share under the treasury stock method or if-converted method, as applicable, because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares was antidilutive for the periods presented:

Note 16 – Fair Value Measurements and Investments

Fair value is generally based on ~~their relative~~quoted prices, however if quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations, price activity for equivalent instruments and valuation pricing models. The Company established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of instrument, the characteristics specific to the instrument and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Financial instruments with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories (from highest to lowest) based on inputs:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument.

The fair values ~~at the initial measurement date. The Warrants were classified as Level 3 at the initial measurement date~~of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the ~~use~~short-term nature of ~~unobservable inputs.~~these items. Due to the variable rate nature of the Revolving Credit Facility, the carrying value as of December 31, 2020 approximated the fair value.

~~Initial and Subsequent Measurement– Private Placement Warrants~~

The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The underlying assumptions in the Black-Scholes option pricing model include the underlying share price, risk-free interest rate, estimated volatility and the expected term. The underlying share price is basedother assets on the ~~trading common share price or implied from~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at the ~~unit price (before~~amount that could be realized under the common shares are trading separately), which consists of one common share and one-third public warrant. The expected stock price volatility is based on (i) the observed volatility of a group of comparable publicly traded companies observed over a historical period equal to the expected remaining life of the warrants and (ii) the implied volatility of the Public Warrants calculated using publicly observable prices. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect on the date of valuation equal to the remaining expected life of the warrants. The dividend yield percentage is zero because the Company does not currently pay dividends, nor does it intend to do so during the expected term of the warrants. The expected life of the warrants is assumed to be equivalent to their remaining contractual term. Inputs are re-evaluated each quarterly reporting period to estimate the fair market value of the Private Placement Warrantscontract as of ~~the reporting period.~~

~~The fair value of the Private Placement Warrants was estimated at March 31,~~September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, which approximates fair value.

The public warrants are valued using quoted market prices on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the ticker PWPPW and are included in Warrantliabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. As of September 30, 2021, the price per public warrant was $3.16.

Management determines the fair value of the private warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing valuation model (“Valuation Model”). The private warrants are classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2021 because of the use of significant unobservable inputs in the Valuation Model. The inputs into the Valuation Model for the private warrants, including some significant unobservable inputs, were as follows:


	September 30, 2021
Risk-free rate of return		0.90	%
Expected volatility		27.50	%
Expected dividend yield		2.00	%
Expected term (years)		5
Exercise price per share	$	11.50
Asset price per share	$	13.28

The Company’s use of the Valuation Model required the use of the following assumptions:



The risk-free rate of return assumption was based on the expected term and a U.S. Treasury yield curve as of the date of the Business Combination. An increase in the risk-free interest rate, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities and vice versa.



The expected volatility assumption was based on the weighted average of the implied volatility from the Company’s publicly traded warrants and the historical volatility of the Company’s publicly traded industry peers. An increase in the expected volatility, in isolation, would result in an increase in the fair value measurement of the warrant liabilities.



The dividend yield was based on management’s expectation that the Company will pay 2% dividends during the term.

The resulting valuation for the private warrants were determined to be $3.64 per unit as of September 30, 2021. The Company had approximately 203,333 private warrants outstanding as of September 30, 2021, resulting in a fair value of $0.7 million recorded within Warrant liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies

Loan Guarantees

The Company has unconditionally guaranteed certain of its partners’ loans with First Republic Bank (“Lender”) whereby it will pay the Lender upon the occurrence of a default event. The total guarantees related to partners was $3.5 million and $5.6 million as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These guarantees are secured by either the partners’ interests in PWP OpCo or Professional Partners. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 0 loan was in default.

Indemnifications

The Company enters into certain contracts that contain a variety of indemnification provisions. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company expects no claims or losses pursuant to these contracts; therefore, 0 liability has been recorded related to these indemnification provisions.

Legal Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is named as a defendant in legal actions relating to transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, in the opinion of management and after consultation with external counsel, the Company believes it is neither probable nor reasonably possible that any current legal proceedings or claims would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020.

On October 20, 2015, Perella Weinberg Partners LLC, PWP MC LP, PWP Equity I LP and Perella Weinberg Partners Group LP (collectively, the “PWP Plaintiffs”), filed a complaint against Michael A. Kramer, Derron S. Slonecker, Joshua S. Scherer, Adam W. Verost (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”) and Ducera Partners LLC (together with the Individual Defendants, the “Defendants”). The complaint alleges that the Individual Defendants, three former partners and one former employee of the PWP Plaintiffs, entered into a scheme while still at PWP to lift out the PWP Plaintiffs’ restructuring group to form a new competing firm that they were secretly forming in breach of their contractual and fiduciary duties to the PWP Plaintiffs. The complaint contains fourteen causes of action, and seeks declaratory relief as well as damages resulting from the Individual Defendants’ breaches of their obligations under the PWP Plaintiffs’ partnership and employment agreements, and from Defendants’ unfair competition and tortious interference with the PWP Plaintiffs’ contracts and client relationships.

On November 9, 2015, the Defendants filed an Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and a Third-Party Complaint, which contained 14 causes of action. On July 17, 2016, the Court issued a decision, dismissing half of the Defendants’ counterclaims and cross-claims with prejudice. On August 18, 2016, the Defendants filed an Amended Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and Third-Party Complaint, which contained only seven counterclaims and cross-claims. On December 12, 2016, the Defendants appealed the dismissal of three of their counterclaims and cross-claims to the New York Appellate Division, First Department (the “First Department”). On August 29, 2017, the First Department issued a decision denying the Defendants’ appeal in its entirety other than allowing only one Defendant to proceed with his breach of fiduciary duty counterclaim. On October 27, 2017, the Defendants moved the First Department for leave to appeal its decision to the New York Court of Appeals. On December 28, 2017, the First Department denied the Defendants’ motion for leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. On April 24, 2018, the Defendants filed a Second Amended Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and Third-Party Complaint, which contains eight counterclaims and cross-claims. The Defendants are seeking declaratory relief and damages of no less than $60.0 million, as well as statutory interest.

Discovery is complete. Both the PWP Plaintiffs and the Defendants subsequently moved for summary judgment. As of March 20, 2020, the parties had completed briefing their respective motions for summary judgment. The PWP Plaintiffs moved affirmatively for summary judgment on each of their 14 claims and also moved for dismissal of each of the Defendants’ remaining eight counterclaims and cross-claims. The Defendants moved affirmatively for summary judgment on four of their eight counterclaims and cross-claims and also moved for dismissal of each of the PWP Plaintiffs’ 14 claims. The Court held oral argument on the motions for summary judgment on May 27, 2021. The Court has yet to issue a decision on the motions for summary judgement.

We believe that our 14 causes of action are meritorious. Further, we believe that we have substantial meritorious defenses to the Defendants’ remaining counterclaims and cross-claims and plan to vigorously contest them. Litigation, however, can be uncertain and there can be no assurance that any judgment for one or more of the Defendants or other outcome of the case would not have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, even if we prevail in the litigation and are awarded damages, we do not know if we will be able to fully collect on any judgment against any or all Defendants.

The Company incurred $0.9 million during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and $0.4 million and $1.1 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, in legal and professional fees, net of expected insurance reimbursement, related to this litigation. These litigation costs are included in Professional fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other

In the ordinary course of business and in connection with hiring certain senior employees, the Company entered into employment agreements whereby the Company committed to grant equity awards to such newly hired employees contingent upon certain events (including but not limited to the Company becoming a public company). The Company settled these commitments in the third quarter of 2021 with a grant of awards approved by the compensation committee under our PWP Incentive Plan.

Executive Overview

We are a ~~blank check company incorporated on November 20, 2018 as~~leading global independent advisory firm that provides strategic and financial advice to clients across a ~~Delaware corporation~~range of the most active industry sectors and ~~formed~~international markets. We provide advisory services to a wide range of clients globally, including large public multinational corporations, mid-sized public and private companies, individual entrepreneurs, private and institutional investors, creditor committees and government institutions.

We were founded in June 2006 with the opening of offices in New York and London, led by a team of ten seasoned advisory partners who previously held senior management positions at large global investment banks. Our mission is helping clients address complex strategic and financial challenges. The foundation of our Company was rooted in a belief, among other considerations, that clients would increasingly seek out deeply experienced advisors who offer independent strategic thinking and who are not burdened by the complicated conflicts that large investment banking institutions may face due to their various businesses. The 2008 global financial crisis reinforced this hypothesis and contributed to the early growth of our firm. Today, we believe that our independence is even more important. For clients and for us, independence means freedom from the distractions that dilute strategic thinking and a willingness and candor to share an honest opinion. We believe that our clients choose to engage us because they value our unbiased perspective and expert advice regarding complex financial and strategic matters.

Our business provides services to multiple industry sectors and geographic markets. We believe that our collaborative partnership and integrated approach combining deep industry insights, significant technical, product and transactional expertise, and rigorous work ethic create a significant opportunity for our Company to realize sustainable growth. We seek to advise clients throughout their evolution, with the full range of our advisory capabilities including, among other things, advice related to mission-critical strategic and financial decisions, mergers and acquisitions (“M&A”) execution, capital markets advisory, shareholder and defense advisory, capital raising, capital structure and restructuring, specialized underwriting and research services for the ~~purpose~~energy and related industries.

Since our inception, we have experienced significant growth in our business, driven by hiring professionals who are highly regarded in their fields of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar Business Combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our initial Business Combination using cash fromexpertise, expanding the ~~proceeds~~scope and geographic reach of our ~~Initial Public Offering~~advisory services, deepening and expanding our client relationships and maintaining a firm culture that attracts, develops and retains talented people. In addition to our hiring and internal development of individual professionals, in November 2016, we completed a business combination with Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co., LLC (“TPH”), an independent advisory firm, focused on the ~~private placement~~energy industry. As of September 30, 2021, we serve our clients with 58 advisory partners based in 10 offices, located in five countries around the ~~Private Placement Units,~~world.

We generate and recognize revenues when earned, primarily from providing advisory services on transactions that are subject to individually negotiated engagement letters, which set forth our fees.

Upfront fees are recognized over the ~~proceeds of~~estimated period that the ~~sale~~related services are performed. Transaction-related fees are recognized when or as services for a transaction are provided and specified conditions or certain milestones have been achieved, which are often outside of our ~~shares~~control. Underwriting revenues are recognized when the offering is deemed complete. As a result, revenues and net income in ~~connection with our initial Business Combination, shares issued to the owners~~any period may not be indicative of ~~the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders~~full year results or the ~~owners~~results of ~~the target, or a combination of the foregoing.~~

~~Recent Developments~~44

On ~~December 29, 2020, we entered into a~~June 24, 2021, Perella Weinberg Partners consummated the Business Combination Agreement ~~(the “Business Combination Agreement”), dated as of December 29, 2020,~~whereby (i) FTIV acquired certain partnership interests in PWP OpCo, (ii) PWP OpCo became jointly-owned by and among the Company, FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Fintech Masala Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with FinTech Investor Holdings IV, LLC, the “Sponsor”), PWP, PWP GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of PWP (“PWP GP”), PWP Professional Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a limited partner of PWP (“Professionals”), and Perella Weinberg Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of Professionals (“Professionals GP”) pursuant to which, among other things, the Company will acquire interests in PWP, which will become jointly-owned by the Company, Professionals,Professional Partners and certain existing partners of PWP OpCo, and ~~following the Closing will serve~~(iii) PWP OpCo serves as the Company’s operating partnership as part of an umbrella limited partnership C-corporation (Up-C) structure.

~~Pursuant~~ The Business Combination was structured as a reverse recapitalization. The historical operations of PWP OpCo are deemed to be those of the Company. Thus, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect (i) the historical operating results of PWP OpCo prior to the Business Combination ~~Agreement,~~and (ii) the combined results of the Company following the Business Combination. The Company shareholders are entitled to receive a portion of PWP OpCo’s economics through their direct ownership interests in shares of Class A common stock of Perella Weinberg Partners. The non-controlling interest owners of PWP OpCo receive economics through ownership of PWP OpCo Class A partnership units (“PWP OpCo Units”). See Note 3 – Business Combination and Note 11 – Stockholders’ Equity in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for additional discussion related to the transaction.

Business Environment and Outlook

Worldwide announced M&A volumes in the first three quarters of 2021 increased significantly as compared to the same period in 2020. While the overall level of mergers and acquisitions globally declined in 2020, heavily influenced by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, M&A activity began to recover in the third quarter of 2020, accelerated in the fourth quarter of 2020, and continued to reflect a strong performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

The level of M&A advisory dialogue remains strong across all our industries and geographies of focus and among our large cap, middle market and sponsor clients. As companies continue to focus on strategic growth and capital deployment, we expect these considerations and the overall business environment will keep activity robust in the medium term.

More broadly, our core advisory services benefit from changes which impact our client base and lead them to consider business combinations, acquisitions and divestitures, capital raises and restructurings. These changes can include a broad range of economic factors in global or local markets, technological advancements which alter the competitive landscape, regulatory and political policies, globalization, changing consumer preferences, commodity and financial market movements, among many other factors.

As our team of advisory professionals expands and continues to gain traction, and as we continue to expand our advisory services, we expect our sector-focused global team collaboration will deepen and continue to resonate with clients. We expect to continue to experience growing global demand for independent advice.

Economic and global financial conditions can materially affect our operational and financial performance. See “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of some of the factors that can affect our performance.

Revenues

We operate in a highly competitive environment. Each revenue-generating engagement is separately solicited, awarded and negotiated, and there are limited long-term sources of revenue in the form of recurring retainers. Therefore, our fee-paying client engagements are not predictable, and high levels of revenues in one quarter are not necessarily predictive of continued high levels of revenues in future periods. To develop new business, our professionals maintain an active business dialogue with a large number of existing and potential clients. We expect to add new clients each year as our advisory professionals continue to expand their relationships, as we hire senior advisory professionals who bring their client relationships and as we receive introductions from our relationship network of senior executives, board members, attorneys and other third parties. We also lose clients each year as a result of the sale or merger of clients, changes in clients’ senior management, competition from other financial services firms and other reasons.

In many cases, revenue is not recognized until the successful completion of an underlying transaction. Complications that may terminate or delay a transaction include failure to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, failure to obtain regulatory consents, failure to obtain board or stockholder approvals, failure to secure financing, adverse market conditions or unexpected operating or financial problems related to either party to the transaction (or their customer base). While transactions typically close within a 12 month period post-announcement of such transaction, they can occasionally extend longer. Such delays often occur with larger transactions and can contribute to unpredictability in the timing of such revenues. In other circumstances, we often do not receive the same level of advisory fees that would have been received if the transaction had been completed, and in some cases we may receive no advisory fee despite the fact that we may have devoted considerable time and resources to the transaction. Other barriers to the completion of a restructuring transaction specifically may include a lack of anticipated bidders for the assets or securities of our client, the inability of our client to restructure its operations, the absence of court approval in a bankruptcy proceeding, or a failure to reach agreement with a client’s creditors. In these circumstances, our advisory fees are generally limited to monthly retainer fees (if any). In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees are subject to approval by the applicable court. In most cases, even if a transaction is not successfully completed, we are reimbursed for certain ~~conditions set forth therein,~~out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the ~~closing~~engagement.

We do not present our revenue by the type of advice we provide because of the complexity of the transactions ~~contemplated~~on which we may earn revenue and our holistic approach to client service. For example, (i) a restructuring engagement may evolve to require a sale of all or a portion of the client, (ii) M&A assignments can develop from relationships established on prior restructuring engagements, (iii) capital markets expertise can be instrumental on both M&A and restructuring assignments, and (iv) capital markets revenue can be generated through the provision of capital markets advisory work, capital raising assignments or the issuance of focused equity research services. We dedicate the resources and expertise needed on any given assignment regardless of product lines and focus on achieving the desired outcome for our clients. Such an approach does not lend itself to tracking the type of advisory service offered in each instance.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues were $177.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $122.8 million for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 44%. The quarter-on-quarter increase in revenue reflects high levels of activity across certain service lines, sectors and geographies, particularly in M&A advice.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we earned revenues from 90 and 88 advisory clients, respectively. The number of advisory clients who paid fees equal to or greater than $1.0 million increased to 38 for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 28 advisory clients for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The average fee size increased to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 from $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Revenues were $602.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared with $329.8 million for the same period in 2020, representing an increase of 83%. The period-over-period growth reflects high levels of activity across substantially all sectors and geographies, with particularly strong M&A activity driving service line growth, when compared to the decreased M&A activity in the prior year period primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we earned revenues from 188 and 137 advisory clients, respectively. The number of advisory clients who paid fees equal to or greater than $1.0 million increased to 106 advisory clients for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to 68 advisory clients for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The average fee size increased to $3.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 from $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.

Our operating expenses are classified as (i) compensation and benefits expenses and equity-based compensation and (ii) non-compensation expenses. Headcount is the primary driver of the level of our operating expenses. Compensation and benefits expenses account for the majority of our operating expenses. Compensation expenses also include expense associated with hiring which has been a significant focus of the Company in all of the historical periods described herein. Non-compensation expenses, which include the costs of professional fees, travel and related expenses, technology and infrastructure, rent and occupancy, depreciation and amortization, and general, administrative and other expenses generally have been less significant in comparison with compensation and benefits expenses.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

Operating expenses were $187.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and represented 106% of revenues, compared with $121.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which represented 99% of revenues. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in equity-based compensation expense, which was $38.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $6.1 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, an increase in compensation and benefits expenses, which were $113.3 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $84.8 million, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, and higher non-compensation expenses which were $36.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $30.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in equity-based compensation expense was driven by the incentive compensation awards granted in the current year period in accordance with the Perella Weinberg Partners 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “PWP Incentive Plan”) due principally to awards granted in connection with the Business Combination. The increase in compensation and benefits expenses was primarily due to a larger bonus accrual associated with the increase in revenue despite a lower compensation margin. The increase in non-compensation expense was primarily driven by an increase in professional fees compared to the prior year period due to increased consulting, recruiting and legal expenses, increased public company costs including D&O insurance and a modest increase in travel and related expenses as pandemic-related travel restrictions ease. These increases were partially offset by the recovery of a previously written off client receivable.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Operating expenses were $535.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and represented 89% of revenues, compared with $352.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, which represented 107% of revenues. The increase in operating expenses was primarily driven by an increase in compensation and benefits expenses, which were $387.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $229.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and an increase in equity-based compensation expense which was $51.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, partially offset by lower non-compensation expenses which were $97.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $104.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in compensation and benefits expense was primarily due to a larger bonus accrual associated with the increase in revenue despite a lower compensation margin. The increase in equity-based compensation expense was driven by the incentive compensation awards granted in the current year period in accordance with the PWP Incentive Plan due principally to awards granted in connection with the Business Combination. The decrease in non-compensation expense was primarily driven by decreased professional fees compared to the prior year period which included the write-off of certain previously deferred offering costs due to the termination of a public company transaction process in May 2020 and lower travel and related expense as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The decrease in non-compensation was partially offset by increased recruiting and increased public company costs including D&O insurance.

Compensation and Benefits Expenses

Our compensation and benefits expenses are determined by management based on revenues earned, the competitiveness of the prevailing labor market and anticipated compensation requirements for our employees, the level of recruitment of new partners, the amount of compensation expense amortized for equity awards and other relevant factors. Such factors can fluctuate, including headcount, and as a result, our compensation expenses may fluctuate materially in any particular period. Accordingly, the amount of compensation expenses recognized in any particular period may not be consistent with prior periods or indicative of future periods.

Our compensation expenses consist of base salary, benefits, payroll taxes, annual incentive compensation payable as cash bonus awards, deferred compensation awards, profit sharing arrangements and amortization of equity-based compensation awards. Compensation expenses also include signing bonuses and compensation paid pursuant to guarantees for new hires. These amounts have historically been significant. Base salary and benefits are paid ratably throughout the year. Depending on the plan, deferred compensation and profit-sharing awards vest immediately, at future dates, or upon the occurrence of certain events. Cash bonuses, which are accrued each quarter, are discretionary and dependent upon many factors, including the performance of the Company, and are generally paid during the first quarter of each calendar year with respect to prior year performance.

Equity awards are measured at fair value on the grant date and recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The awards are subject to a service vesting condition, and in some cases a market-based performance vesting condition, and vest ratably on a graded vesting schedule of up to five years. The awards are recorded within equity as they are expensed. The vesting of Legacy Awards granted prior to the Business Combination ~~Agreement (the “Closing”):~~

~~(i)~~

~~(ii)~~

~~Professionals will contribute the equity interests of PWP GP, the general partner of PWP, to the Company;~~

~~(iii)~~

~~(iv)~~

~~On December 29, 2020, concurrently~~and the various Professional Partners awards issued in connection with the ~~execution~~Business Combination have no economic impact on, and do not dilute, PWP shareholders relative to Professional Partners. The awards do not change the economic allocations between Professional Partners and PWP shareholders, nor do they change the Professional Partners’ interest in PWP OpCo. As a result, all of the compensation expense and corresponding capital contribution associated with the Professional Partners Awards is allocated to non-controlling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, the Company granted incentive compensation awards in accordance with the PWP Incentive Plan. The Company uses shares of PWP Class A common stock to satisfy vested awards under the plan. The vesting of these awards for employees are recorded as equity-based compensation expense and awards for non-employees are recorded as professional fees at PWP OpCo for U.S. GAAP accounting purposes. Due to the accounting for this equity-based compensation expense, we may experience operating losses in future periods. We intend to compensate our personnel competitively in order to continue building our business and growing our firm. Certain awards were granted in conjunction with the Business Combination and directly related to this transaction milestone event. These awards were outside the Company's normal and recurring compensation processes. Total future amortization which will be recognized over the next five years before accounting for forfeitures is $115.2 million for the Transaction Pool RSUs and Transaction Pool PSUs and $82.3 million for the Management PSUs granted in conjunction with the Business Combination.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, total compensation and benefits expenses of $151.4 million represented 85% of revenues, compared with $90.9 million of compensation-related expenses, which represented 74% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2020. Included in total compensation-related expense was $38.1 million and $6.1 million amortization of equity awards for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in total compensation and benefit expenses was due to a larger bonus accrual associated with the increase in revenue despite a lower compensation margin as well as increased equity-based compensation due principally to awards granted in connection with the Business Combination.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, total compensation and benefits expenses of $438.5 million represented 73% of revenues, compared with $248.0 million of compensation-related expenses, which represented 75% of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Included in total compensation-related expense was $51.3 million and $18.5 million amortization of equity awards for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase in total compensation and benefit expenses was due to a larger bonus accrual associated with the increase in revenue despite a lower compensation margin as well as increased equity-based compensation due principally to awards granted in connection with the Business Combination.

Non-Compensation Expenses

Our non-compensation expenses include the costs of professional fees, travel and related expenses, technology and infrastructure, rent and occupancy, depreciation and amortization and general, administrative and other expenses including certain co-advisory fees and expenses reimbursed by our clients. Any expenses reimbursed by clients and the co-advisory fees are also presented within revenues on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Historically, our non-compensation expenses associated with business development have increased as we have increased our headcount. These costs include costs such as travel and related expenses. Growth in our headcount has increased rent and occupancy expenses while geographic expansion has increased regulatory expenses. This trend may continue as we expand into new sectors, geographies and products to serve our clients’ growing needs, domestically and internationally.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-compensation expenses of $36.4 million represented 21% of revenues, compared with $30.4 million, which represented 25% of revenues, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The increase in non-compensation expense was primarily driven by a $4.9 million increase in professional fees due to increased consulting, recruiting and legal expenses and a $1.2 million increase in travel and related expenses as pandemic-related travel restrictions ease. While general, administrative and other expenses were relatively flat, they included increased public company costs such as D&O insurance which were largely offset by the recovery of a previously written off client receivable.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, non-compensation expenses of $97.1 million represented 16% of revenues, compared with $104.6 million, which represented 32% of revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The decrease in non-compensation expense was primarily driven by a $5.5 million decrease in professional fees. This reduction is largely due to elevated professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 as previously deferred offering costs of $14.8 million were expensed due to the termination of a public company transaction process in May 2020. Excluding this write-off, professional fees during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased $9.3 million, including $4.6 million of transaction-related expenses as well as increased consulting and recruiting expenses. The decrease in non-compensation expense was also due to a $1.5 million decrease in travel and related expenses as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Non-Operating Income (Expenses)

Non-operating income (expenses) includes the impact of income and expense items that we consider to be non-operational in nature, including related party income, interest expense, change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, loss on debt extinguishment and other income (expense).

Three Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, non-operating income (expenses) were $1.0 million of income compared to $1.6 million of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The change included the decrease in interest expense related to the repayment of all indebtedness in connection with the Business Combination and the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, non-operating income (expenses) was $42.5 million of expense compared to $2.0 million of expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. The most significant component and change from the prior year period was the $39.4 million loss on debt extinguishment which was related to the redemption of the $150.0 million aggregate principal of the Convertible Notes concurrent with the Business Combination. The loss is composed of the $10.9 million premium and $28.5 million of unamortized debt discount and issuance costs. Additionally, the increase in non-operating expense during the current year period was also driven by the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense related to the repayment of all indebtedness in connection with the Business Combination

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash and cash equivalents, working capital assets and liabilities, commitments and other liquidity requirements. Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash balances and net cash generated from operations.

Our current assets are primarily composed of cash, short-term liquid investments, receivables related to fees earned from providing advisory services and due from related parties. Our current liabilities are primarily composed of accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued and deferred employee compensation and due to related parties. Due from related parties primarily includes amounts due from PWP Capital Holdings LP. We pay a significant portion of our annual incentive compensation, in the form of cash bonuses, during the first quarter of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. Therefore, levels of cash generally decline during the first quarter of each year after our annual incentive compensation has been paid to our employees. Cash then typically builds over the remainder of the year. The Company made partner tax distributions of $7.0 million and $54.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $2.4 million and $11.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Additionally, as a public company, we may pay dividends throughout the year and may consider share repurchases as well. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company paid $3.0 million in cash dividends and repurchased 1,000,000 shares at a purchase price of $12.00 per share for a total purchase price of $12.0 million, which are being held in treasury stock.

We evaluate our cash needs on a regular basis in light of current market conditions. Cash and cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. The Company had no cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had cash balances of $415.8 million and $329.1 million, respectively, maintained in U.S. and non-U.S. bank accounts, of which most bank account balances exceeded the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and U.K. Financial Services Compensation Scheme (“FSCS”) coverage limits.

Our liquidity is highly dependent upon cash receipts from clients, which generally require the successful completion of transactions. Accounts receivable generally have net terms of 30 days. Accounts receivable was $66.0 million, with $2.0 million of allowance for credit losses balance as of September 30, 2021. Accounts receivable was $40.8 million, with $1.0 million of allowance for credit losses balance as of December 31, 2020.

In December 2018, the Company amended the Credit Agreement to modify a term loan to a revolving credit facility with a line of credit of $50.0 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, theCompany made principal payments on the Revolving Credit Facility of $32.0 million as well as drawdowns of $22.0 million. Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the Company repaid all of the outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement, which included $27.7 million principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. As of the Closing Date, the Credit Agreement was amended such that (i) the maturity was extended from April 1, 2022 to July 1, 2025, (ii) interest accrues at LIBOR plus a fixed rate of 2.00% per annum (with a 0.25% LIBOR floor) with an alternate base rate option equal to Cadence Bank’s prime rate minus 1.00% (with a 3.25% floor), (iii) up to $15.0 million of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for the issuance of letters of credit, (iv) up to $20.0 million of incremental revolving commitments above the $50.0 million commitment amount may be incurred under the Credit Agreement, and (v) certain financial covenants were amended. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had no outstanding balance related to the Revolving Credit Facility and no incremental revolving commitments were incurred. For further information on the Revolving Credit Facility, refer to Note 10 – Debt in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Based on current market conditions, we ~~also entered into subscription agreements (“Subscription Agreements”)~~believe that the cash we retain post-transaction, the net cash generated from operations and the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our operating needs and commitments for the next twelve months; however, if these sources of liquidity are not sufficient, we may seek additional debt or equity financing.

Regulatory Capital

We actively monitor our regulatory capital base. Our principal subsidiaries are subject to regulatory requirements in their respective jurisdictions to ensure general financial soundness and liquidity. This requires, among other things, that we comply with certain ~~investors (collectively,~~minimum capital requirements, record-keeping, reporting procedures, experience and training requirements for employees and certain other requirements and procedures. These regulatory requirements may restrict the ~~“PIPE Investors”) pursuant~~flow of funds to and from affiliates. Refer to Note 7 – Regulatory Requirements in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information. These regulations differ in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France and other countries in which we operate a registered broker-dealer or regionally similar construct. The license or regulatory framework under which we operate in each such country is meant to comply with applicable laws and regulations to conduct an advisory business. We believe that we provide each of our subsidiaries with sufficient capital and liquidity, consistent with their business and regulatory requirements to effectively operate in each jurisdiction.

Exchange Rights

In accordance with the PWP OpCo LPA, PWP OpCo Unitholders (other than the Company) may exchange these units for (i) shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or (ii) cash from an offering of shares of Class A common stock with the form of consideration determined by the Company.

The PWP OpCo LPA contains restrictions on the ~~terms and subject~~ability to ~~the conditions of which, the PIPE Investors have collectively subscribed~~exchange PWP OpCo Units for ~~12,500,000~~ shares of ~~the Company’s~~Class A common stock or cash from an offering of shares of Class A common stock, for ~~an aggregate purchase price equal~~the following periods: (i) PWP OpCo Units held by Professional Partners will be subject to ~~$125,000,000 (the “PIPE Investment”)~~a restriction for time periods that are fully back-to-back with the lock-up periods contemplated in the amended and restated limited partnership agreement of Professional Partners (generally speaking, such lock-up periods (a) for former working partners, will be 180 days after Closing; and (b) for working partners of PWP, will be between three to five years after the Closing), (ii) PWP OpCo Units held by ILPs existing at the time of the Business Combination will be subject to such restriction for 180 days after the Closing, and (iii) any other outstanding PWP OpCo Units not previously covered by clauses (i) and (ii) above will be subject to such restriction for a period of twelve months following the date on which such PWP OpCo Units were acquired. PWP GP may waive, and in certain cases has waived, the foregoing restrictions for any holder with respect to all or a portion of ~~which is expected~~such holder’s units, with no obligation to ~~be funded by one or more affiliates of Sponsor. The PIPE Investment will be consummated substantially concurrently~~do so for any other holder.

Sponsor Share Surrender and Share Restriction Agreement

Concurrent with the ~~closing~~Business Combination Agreement, FTIV, PWP OpCo and certain other parties entered into the Sponsor Share Surrender and Share Restriction Agreement with the Sponsor, which was amended on May 4, 2021. Pursuant to this agreement, if, prior to the fourth anniversary of the Closing, the closing share price is greater than $12.00 per share or $15.00 per share for any 20 trading days out of 30 consecutive trading days (each a “Trigger Date”), then, during the 15 day period following such Trigger Date, the Company shall have the right to purchase from the Sponsor up to an aggregate of 1,000,000 founder shares per Trigger Date for a purchase price of $12.00 per share or $15.00 per share, respectively, by providing written notice of such repurchase election to the Sponsor.

On August 9, 2021, the Company repurchased 1,000,000 founder shares from the Sponsor at $12.00 per share for a total purchase price of $12.0 million.

Cash Flows

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the amount and timing of receipt of advisory fees, which generally have net terms of 30 days, and the payment of operating expenses, including payments of incentive compensation to our employees. We pay a significant portion of incentive compensation during the first quarter of each calendar year with respect to the prior year’s results. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by debt payments and distributions to partners, and in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the proceeds and distributions related to the Business Combination.

A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021

Cash and restricted cash were $417.7 million as of ~~Operations~~September 30, 2021, an increase of $86.8 million from $330.9 million as of December 31, 2020. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $126.0 million largely attributable to net income generated during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, partially offset by changes in working capital. Net income included $79.2 million of non-cash charges as well as a $39.4 million loss on debt extinguishment related to the redemption of the Convertible Notes concurrent with the Business Combination. Investing activities resulted in a net outflow of $1.7 million attributable to the Company’s deconsolidation of PFAC Holdings and the purchases of fixed assets. Financing activities resulted in a net outflow of $34.7 million primarily related to the transactions associated with the Business Combination, the payoff of all outstanding debt and tax distributions to partners, the repurchase of founder shares held as treasury shares, withholding payments for vesting of incentive awards and the payment of dividends.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020

Cash and restricted cash were $188.1 million as of September 30, 2020. Operating activities resulted in a net outflow of $51.6 million attributable to changes in working capital and net loss incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, both partially offset by non-cash operating charges. Investing activities resulted in a net outflow of $5.0 million primarily attributable to purchases of fixed assets. Financing activities resulted in a net outflow of $21.8 million primarily related to draw downs and principal payments on the Revolving Credit Facility and distributions to partners.

Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual Obligations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from inception through March 31, 2021 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for our Initial Public Offering, described below, and, after our Initial Public Offering, identifying a target company for an initial Business Combination and activitiesvarious non-cancelable operating leases in connection with the ~~proposed acquisition of PWP. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion~~leases of our ~~initial Business Combination. We generate non-operating income~~office spaces and equipment. The related lease agreements, which range from non-cancelable and month-to-month terms, generally provide for fixed monthly rentals and can also include renewal options. See Note 5 – Leases in the ~~form~~notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information. Our London and New York office leases expire in December 2022 and September 2023, respectively, and given our significant historical growth, we anticipate expanding our square footage meaningfully in both locations which will increase our contractual obligations.

In addition, PWP OpCo sponsors certain deferred compensation arrangements whereby portions of ~~interest income on marketable securities held~~compensation related to employees (including working partners) providing services to the Company are deferred and paid in later periods. The deferred compensation amounts are charged to expenses over the period that each employee (including working partners) is required to provide services in order to vest in the ~~Trust Account. We incur expenses~~payment. Refer to Note 14 – Other Compensation and Benefits in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Guarantees

PWP OpCo has also unconditionally guaranteed, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, certain loans to limited partners of Professional Partners (“Limited Partners”) with First Republic Bank (the “Program Lender”), whereby PWP OpCo will pay the Program Lender upon the occurrence of a default event. Refer to Note 17 – Related Party Transactions and Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Tax Receivable Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into a tax receivable agreement with Professional Partners and certain other persons (the “TRA”) under which the Company agreed to payments of 85% of the amount of savings, if any, that the Company realizes in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes as a result of ~~being~~(i) exchanges of interests in PWP OpCo for cash or stock of the Company and certain other transactions and (ii) payments made under the tax receivable agreement.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements except for those described under “Commitments and Contingencies” above.

Market Risk and Credit Risk

Our business is not capital-intensive and we do not invest in derivative instruments. We are not subject to significant market risk (including interest rate risk and commodity price risk) or significant credit risk.

Risks Related to Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our cash and cash equivalents include any short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and have original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase. Cash is maintained in U.S. and non-U.S. bank accounts. Most U.S. and U.K. account balances exceed the FDIC and FSCS coverage limits. We believe our cash and cash equivalents are not subject to any material interest rate risk, equity price risk, credit risk or other market risk.

Credit Risk

We regularly review our accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses by considering factors such as historical experience, credit quality, age of the accounts receivable, and the current economic conditions that may affect a ~~public company (for legal,~~client’s ability to pay such amounts owed to the Company. We maintain an allowance for credit losses that, in our opinion, provides for an adequate reserve to cover current expected credit losses. Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to condensed consolidated financial ~~reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),~~statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q for further information.

Exchange Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to exchange rate risk as a result of entering into transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of its operating subsidiaries, as well as ~~for due diligence expenses.~~

For the ~~three~~nine months ended ~~March 31,~~September 30, 2021 ~~we had~~and 2020, the net impact of non-functional currency-related transaction gains and losses recorded in Other income (expense) on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of ~~$4,903,480 which consists~~Operations was a $0.4 million gain and a$2.4 million gain, respectively. In addition, the reported amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements may be affected by movements in the rate of ~~$5,756,700 from change~~exchange between the pound sterling, Euro, Canadian dollar and our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar, resulting in ~~fair value of warrant liabilities, interest income of $5,672, partially offset by operating expenses of $858,892.~~translation gains and losses.

~~Liquidity~~For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and ~~Capital Resources~~

~~Until~~2020, the ~~consummation~~net impact of the ~~Initial Public Offering, the Company’s only source~~fluctuation of ~~liquidity~~foreign currencies recorded in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) was ~~an initial purchase of shares of Class B common stock by our Sponsor~~a $1.5 million loss and ~~loans from our Sponsor.~~

On September 29, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering of 23,000,000 Units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $230,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of our Initial Public Offering, we consummated the sale of 610,000 Private Placement Units to the Sponsor at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $6,100,000.

Following our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Units, a total of $230,000,000 was placed in the Trust Account. We incurred $14,255,791 in transaction costs, including $4,000,000 of underwriting fees, $9,800,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $455,791 of other costs.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, cash used in operating activities was $334,852. Net income of $4,903,480 was reduced by an increase in fair value of warrant liabilities of $5,756,705, interest earned on marketable securities held in the Trust Account of $5,672 and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $524,040.

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and marketable securities of $230,011,533 held in the Trust Account. We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (less taxes paid and deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our initial Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we did not withdraw any interest earned on the Trust Account. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our initial Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash of $824,082 held outside of the Trust Account. We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses, and structure, negotiate and complete our initial Business Combination.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with our initial Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our initial Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our initial Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into units identical to the Private Placement Units, at a price of $10.00 per unit at the option of the lender.

We do not currently believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimate of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating our initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our initial Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our initial Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our Public Shares upon consummation of our initial Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our initial Business Combination. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

~~Off-Balance Sheet Financing Arrangements~~

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities, which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2021. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements.$0.3 million gain, respectively. We have not entered into any ~~off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt~~transactions to hedge our exposure to these foreign currency fluctuations using derivative instruments or ~~commitments of~~ other ~~entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.~~

~~Contractual Obligations~~

Wemethods but may do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor a monthly fee up to $20,000 for office space, utilities and shared personnel support services. We began incurring these fees on September 25, 2020 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination and our liquidation.

As of September 30, 2021, we held balances of $46.6 million of non-U.S. dollar denominated currencies, composed of pound sterling, the ~~Working Capital Loans) will~~Euro, and Canadian dollars.

Critical Accounting Policies

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be entitled to registration rights requiring us to register such securities for resale (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion to Class A common stock). The holders of these securities will be entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that we register such securities. In addition, the holders will have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination and rights to require us to register for resale such securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. We will bear the expenses incurred in connectionread together with the ~~filing~~discussion within “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of ~~any such registration statements.~~

~~Cantor Fitzgerald & Co.~~Financial Condition and ~~Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives~~Results of ~~the several underwriters, are entitled to a deferred fee of $9,800,000. The deferred fee will become payable to the representatives from the amounts held~~Operations” contained in the ~~Trust Account solely~~Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 24, 2021 regarding these critical accounting policies. For changes to our critical accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the ~~event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject~~notes to ~~the terms of the underwriting agreement.~~

~~Critical Accounting Policies~~

~~The preparation of unaudited~~ condensed consolidated financial statements ~~and related disclosures~~included elsewhere in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have identified the following critical accounting policies:this Form 10-Q.

~~Warrant Liabilities~~

We account for the warrants issued in connection with our Initial Public Offering in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815 under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, we classify the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjust the warrants to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in our statement of operations. The fair value of the warrants was estimated using a Monte Carlo simulation approach.

~~Class A Common Stock Subject to Possible Redemption~~

We account for our Class A common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480 “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Class A common stock subject to mandatory redemption is classified as a liability instrument and is measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable common stock (including common stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as temporary equity. At all other times, common stock is classified as stockholders’ equity. Our common stock features certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of our control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, the Class A common stock subject to possible redemption is presented as temporary equity, outside of the stockholders’ equity section of our unaudited condensed balance sheet.

~~Net Income per Common Share~~

We apply the two-class method in calculating earnings per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account, net of applicable taxes, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock is calculated by dividing net income less income attributable to Class A redeemable common stock, by the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B non-redeemable common stock outstanding for the periods presented.

~~Recent Accounting Standards~~

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”), which simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. The ASU also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity-linked contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, and it simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 on January 1, 2021. Adoption of the ASU did not impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on our unaudited condensed financial statements.

~~ITEM~~Item 3. ~~QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK~~Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are ~~a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2~~exposed to market risks associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates due to our international operations. The currencies for which we have our largest exchange rate exposures are related to changes in the British Pound, the Canadian dollar and the Euro. Our revenue contracts are primarily denominated in these currencies or the U.S. dollar. The contracts denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily from the transaction-related advisory services that we provide, are exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

Additionally, the net assets and liabilities of these international operations are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These operations may also have net assets and liabilities not denominated in their functional currency, which exposes us to changes in foreign currency exchange rates that impact income. Our foreign currency gains (losses) are primarily due to exchange rate fluctuations related to monetary asset balances denominated in currencies other than the ~~Exchange Act~~functional currency, including foreign currency exchange rate changes recorded on intercompany obligations. Changes in exchange rates may create gains or losses in future periods to the extent we maintain net assets and ~~are~~liabilities not ~~required to provide~~denominated in the ~~information otherwise required under this item.~~functional currency.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

~~ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES~~This Item 4 includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer required by Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures ~~are controls~~(as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and ~~other procedures that~~15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in ~~our~~ reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in ~~the SEC’s~~SEC rules and ~~forms. Disclosure~~forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures ~~include, without limitation,~~as of September 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures ~~designed~~were effective to ~~ensure~~provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in ~~our~~ reports ~~filed~~that we file or ~~submitted~~submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, and made known to our ~~management, including our Chief Executive Officer~~principal executive officer and ~~Chief Financial Officer,~~principle financial officer, on a timely basis to ~~allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.~~

~~Evaluation of Disclosure Controls~~ensure that it is recorded, processed, summarized and ~~Procedures~~

~~Our management evaluated, with~~reported within the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our “Certifying Officers”), the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2021, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation and in light of the SEC Staff Statement, our Certifying Officers concluded that, solely due to the Company’s misapplication of the accounting for the Company’s warrants as liabilities, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2021.

~~Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements~~

On April 25, 2021, we revised our prior position on accounting for warrants and concluded that our previously issued financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and for the year then ended should not be relied on because of a misapplicationtime periods specified in the ~~guidance on warrant accounting. However, the non-cash adjustments to the financial statements do not impact the amounts previously reported for our cash, cash~~SEC’s rules and ~~marketable securities held in trust account, total assets, revenue or cash flows.~~forms.

Changes in Internal Control ~~Over~~over Financial Reporting

~~During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been~~There were no ~~change~~changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the three months ended September 30, 2021 that ~~has~~ materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting as the circumstances that led to the restatement of our financial statements described above had not yet been identified. Management has implemented remediation steps to address the material weakness and to improve our internal control over financial reporting. Specifically, we expanded and improved our review process for complex securities and related accounting standards. We plan to further improve this process by enhancing access to accounting literature, identification of third-party professionals with whom to consult regarding complex accounting applications and consideration of additional staff with the requisite experience and training to supplement existing accounting professionals.

PART ~~II -~~II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

~~ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.~~On October 20, 2015, Professionals GP, PWP MC LP, PWP Equity I LP and Perella Weinberg Partners Group LP (collectively, the “PWP Plaintiffs”), filed a complaint against Michael A. Kramer, Derron S. Slonecker, Joshua S. Scherer, Adam W. Verost (collectively, the “Individual Defendants”) and Ducera Partners LLC (together with the Individual Defendants, the “Defendants”). The complaint alleges that the Individual Defendants, three former partners and one former employee of the PWP Plaintiffs, entered into a scheme while still at PWP to lift out the PWP Plaintiffs’ restructuring group to form a new competing firm that they were secretly forming in breach of their contractual and fiduciary duties to the PWP Plaintiffs. The complaint contains fourteen causes of action, and seeks declaratory relief as well as damages resulting from the Individual Defendants’ breaches of their obligations under the PWP Plaintiffs’ partnership and employment agreements, and from Defendants’ unfair competition and tortious interference with the PWP Plaintiffs’ contracts and client relationships.

~~None.~~On November 9, 2015, the Defendants filed an Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and a Third-Party Complaint, which contained 14 causes of action. On July 17, 2016, the Court issued a decision, dismissing half of the Defendants’ counterclaims and cross-claims with prejudice. On August 18, 2016, the Defendants filed an Amended Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and Third-Party Complaint, which contained only seven counterclaims and cross-claims. On December 12, 2016, the Defendants appealed the dismissal of three of their counterclaims and cross-claims to the New York Appellate Division, First Department (the “First Department”). On August 29, 2017, the First Department issued a decision denying the Defendants’ appeal in its entirety other than allowing one Defendant to proceed with his breach of fiduciary duty counterclaim. On October 27, 2017, the Defendants moved the First Department for leave to appeal its decision to the New York Court of Appeals. On December 28, 2017, the First Department denied the Defendants’ motion for leave to appeal to the New York Court of Appeals. On April 24, 2018, the Defendants filed a Second Amended Answer, Counterclaims, Cross-claims and Third-Party Complaint, which contains eight counterclaims and cross-claims. The Defendants are seeking declaratory relief and damages of no less than $60.0 million, as well as statutory interest.

We believe that our 14 causes of action are meritorious. Further, we believe that we have meritorious defenses to the Defendants’ remaining counterclaims and cross-claims and plan to vigorously contest them. Litigation, however, can be uncertain and there can be no assurance that any judgment for one or more of the Defendants or other outcome of the case would not have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, even if we prevail in the litigation and are awarded damages, we do not know if we will be able to fully collect on any judgment against any or all Defendants.

We are now, and from time to time may in the future be, named as a defendant in legal actions relating to transactions conducted in the ordinary course of business. We may also become involved in other judicial, regulatory and arbitration proceedings concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our businesses. Some of these matters may involve claims of substantial amounts.

For further details on the current legal proceedings, refer to Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies in the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

~~ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.~~Shares of Common Stock

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company delivered 12,500,000 shares of Class A common stock (as described in the “Private Placement” section below), 48,470,675 shares of Class B-1 common stock (of which 45,608,840 shares of Class B-1 common stock remained outstanding after giving effect to Redemptions (as defined below)) and 12,589,325 shares of Class B-2 common stock (of which 4,545,359 shares of Class B-2 common stock remained outstanding after giving effect to Redemptions).

~~On September 29, 2020, we consummated our Initial Public Offering~~Private Placement

In connection with entering into the Business Combination Agreement, the Company entered into subscription agreements with certain investors (collectively, the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which, among other things, the PIPE Investors party thereto agreed to purchase an aggregate of ~~23,000,000 Units. The Units were sold~~12,500,000 shares of Class A common stock immediately prior to the Closing at ~~an offering~~a cash purchase price of $10.00 per ~~Unit, generating total gross~~share, resulting in aggregate proceeds of ~~$230,000,000.
