~~active executive managing directors~~Accrued but unrecognized incentive income						~~Executive managing directors who remain active~~Accrued but unrecognized incentive income (“ABURI”) is the amount of incentive income accrued at the fund level on longer-term AUM that has not yet been recognized in our ~~business~~revenues. These amounts may ultimately not be recognized as revenue by us in the event of future losses in the respective funds.

Annual Report						Our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, dated February ~~23, 2021~~25, 2022 and filed with the ~~SEC~~SEC.



Assets Under Management						Assets Under Management (“AUM”) refers to the assets for which we provide investment management, advisory or certain other investment-related services. Specifically: a.AUM for our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds is generally based on the net asset value of those funds plus any unfunded commitments, if applicable. AUM is reduced for unfunded commitments that will be funded through transfers from other funds. b.AUM for Institutional Credit Strategies is generally based on the amount of equity outstanding for CLOs and CBOs (during the warehouse period) and the par value of the collateral assets and cash held (after warehouse period). For aircraft securitization vehicles, AUM is based on the adjusted portfolio appraisal values for the aircraft collateral within the securitization. AUM is reduced for any investments in these CLOs and securitization vehicles held by our other funds. AUM also includes the net asset value of other investment vehicles within this strategy. c.AUM for our real estate funds is generally based on the amount of capital committed by our fund investors during the investment period and the amount of actual capital invested for periods following the investment period. AUM is reduced for unfunded commitments that will be funded through transfers from other funds. d.AUM for our special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) sponsored by us includes the proceeds raised in the initial public offering that are currently held in a trust for use in a business combination. AUM includes amounts that are not subject to management fees, incentive allocation or other amounts earned on AUM, including without limitation, investments by the Company, its executive managing directors, employees and certain other related parties. Our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations of other asset managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other asset managers. Our calculations of AUM are not based on any definition set forth in the governing documents of the investment funds and are not calculated pursuant to any regulatory definitions.

Class A Shares						Our Class A Shares, representing Class A common stock of Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., which are publicly traded and listed on the ~~NYSE~~NYSE.

Class B Shares						Class B Shares of Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., which are not publicly traded, are currently held solely by our executive managing directors and have no economic rights but entitle the holders thereof to one vote per share together with the holders of our Class A ~~Shares~~Shares.

the Company, Sculptor Capital, the firm, we, us, our						Refers, unless the context requires otherwise, to the Registrant and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Sculptor Operating ~~Group~~Group.

Consolidated Entities						Refers to funds, special purpose entities, investment vehicles and other similar structures for which the Company is required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP.


Distribution Holiday						The Sculptor Operating Partnerships initiated a distribution holiday (the “Distribution Holiday”) on the Group A Units, Group ~~D Units, Group~~ E Units and Group P Units and on certain RSUs and RSAs that will terminate on the earlier of (x) 45 days after the last day of the first calendar quarter as of which the achievement of $600.0 million of Distribution Holiday Economic Income is realized and (y) April 1, 2026.

Distribution Holiday Economic Income						Distribution Holiday Economic Income is the cumulative amount of Economic Income earned since October 1, 2018, less any dividends paid to Class A Shareholders or on the now-retired Preferred Units. Distribution Holiday Economic Income is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the agreements of limited partnership of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships and is being presented to provide an update on the progress made toward the $600.0 million target required to exit the Distribution Holiday.

Economic Income						Economic Income is a non-GAAP measure of pre-tax operating performance that excludes the following from our results on a GAAP basis: noncontrolling interests, redeemable noncontrolling interests, equity based compensation expense, net of cash settled RSUs, depreciation and amortization expenses, components of our other income (loss), non-cash interest expense accretion on debt, and amounts related to consolidated entities, in addition, expenses related to incentive income profit-sharing arrangements are generally recognized at the same time the related incentive income revenue is recognized. The fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash to employees or executive managing directors, where the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is not certain at the time of grant, is included as an expense at the time of settlement. Where the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is certain on the grant date, the expense is recognized during the performance period to which the award relates. Similarly, deferred cash compensation is expensed in full during the performance period to which the award relates for Economic Income, rather than over the service period for GAAP. Further, impairment of right-of-use lease assets is excluded from Economic Income at the time the impairment is recognized for GAAP and the impact is then amortized over the lease term for Economic Income. Additionally, rent expense is offset by subrental income as management evaluates rent expenses on a net basis.

1. ORGANIZATION

Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. (the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Sculptor Capital”), is a ~~global~~leading institutional alternative asset management firm ~~providing investment products in~~with a ~~range of areas, including multi-strategy, credit and real estate. With~~global presence with offices in New York, London, Hong Kong and ~~Shanghai, the~~Shanghai. The Company provides asset management services and investment products across Credit, Real Estate, and Multi-Strategy. The Company serves its global ~~clients~~client base through commingled funds, separate accounts and specialized products, as well as sponsoring a special purpose acquisition company (“SPAC”) (collectively, the “funds”). Sculptor Capital’s distinct investment process seeks to generate attractive and consistent risk-adjusted returns across market cycles through a combination of bottom-up fundamental analysis, a high degree of flexibility, a collaborative team and integrated risk management. The Company’s capabilities span all major geographies ~~in strategies~~and asset classes, including fundamental equities, corporate credit, real estate debt and equity, merger arbitrage and structured credit.

The Company manages ~~multi-strategy funds,~~ dedicated credit funds, including opportunistic credit funds and Institutional Credit Strategies products, real estate funds, multi-strategy funds and other alternative investment vehicles. Through Institutional Credit Strategies, the Company’s asset management platform that invests in performing credits, the Company manages collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), aircraft securitization vehicles, collateralized bond obligations (“CBOs”), structured alternative investment solutions, commingled products and other customized solutions for clients.

The Company’s primary sources of revenues are management fees, which are generally based on the amount of the Company’s assets under management (“Assets Under Management” or “AUM”), as defined below, and incentive income, which is based on the investment performance of its funds. Accordingly, for any given period, the Company’s revenues will be driven by the combination of ~~assets under management~~Assets Under Management and the investment performance of the funds. AUM refers to the assets of the funds to which the Company provides investment management and advisory services. The Company’s AUM are a function of the capital that is allocated to it by the investors in its funds and the investment performance of its funds.

The Company conducts its business and generates substantially all of its revenues primarily in the United States (the “U.S.”) through one operating and reportable segment. The single reportable segment reflects how the Company’s chief operating decision makers allocate resources, make operating decisions and assess financial performance on a consolidated basis under the Company’s ‘one-firm approach,’ which includes operating collaboratively across business lines, with predominantly a single expense pool. The Company conducts its operations through Sculptor Capital LP, Sculptor Capital Advisors LP and Sculptor Capital Advisors II LP (collectively, the “Sculptor Operating Partnerships” and collectively with their consolidated subsidiaries, the “Sculptor Operating Group”). The Registrant holds its interests in the Sculptor Operating Group indirectly through Sculptor Capital Holding Corporation (“Sculptor Corp”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Registrant.

References to the Company’s “executive managing directors” include the current executive managing directors of the Company, and, except where the context requires otherwise, also include certain former executive managing directors who are no longer active in the Company’s business. ~~References to the Company’s “active executive managing directors” refer to executive managing directors who remain active in the Company’s business.~~

Company Structure

The Registrant is a holding company that, through Sculptor Corp, holds equity ownership interests in the Sculptor Operating Group. The Registrant had issued and outstanding the following share classes:

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

•Class B Shares—Class B Shares are held by executive managing directors, as further discussed below. These shares are not publicly traded but rather entitle the executive managing directors to one vote per share on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders. These shares do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the

executive managing directors participate in the related economics of the Sculptor Operating Group through their direct ownership in the Sculptor Operating Group, subject to the Distribution Holiday discussed below.

The Company conducts its operations through the Sculptor Operating Group. The following is a list of the outstanding units of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships as of September 30, ~~2021:~~2022:

•Group A Units—Group A Units are limited partner interests issued to certain executive managing directors. In connection with the Recapitalization, as defined below, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships initiated a distribution holiday (the “Distribution Holiday”). Holders of Group A Units do not receive distributions on such units during the Distribution Holiday. Each executive managing director may exchange his or her vested and booked-up (as defined below) Group A Units for an equal number of Class A Shares (or the cash equivalent thereof) over a period of two years in three equal installments commencing upon the final day of the Distribution Holiday and on each of the first and second anniversary thereof (or, for units that become vested and booked-up Group A Units after the final day of the Distribution Holiday, from the later of the date on which they would have been exchangeable in accordance with the foregoing and the date on which they become vested and booked-up Group A Units) (and thereafter such units will remain exchangeable), in each case, subject to certain restrictions. A “book-up” is achieved when sufficient appreciation has occurred to meet a prescribed capital account book-up target under the terms of the Sculptor Operating Partnership limited partnership agreements.

Group A Unit grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation. See Note 13 in the ~~Company’s annual report~~Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, filed with the SEC on February ~~23, 2021~~25, 2022 (“Annual Report”) for additional information. The Company completed a recapitalization in February 2019 (“Recapitalization”). See Note 3 in the ~~Company’s~~Company's Annual Report for additional details. In connection with the Recapitalization, each Group A Unit outstanding on the Recapitalization date was recapitalized into 0.65 Group A Units and 0.35 Group A-1 Units.

•Group A-1 Units—Group A-1 Units are limited partner interests into which 0.35 of each Group A Unit was recapitalized in connection with the reallocation that was effectuated by the Recapitalization. The Group A-1 Units will be canceled at such time and to the extent that the Group E Units granted in connection with the Recapitalization vest and achieve a book-up. Group A-1 Units are not eligible to receive distributions at any time and do not participate in the net income (loss) of the Sculptor Operating Group. However, the holders of Group A-1 Units shall participate in any sale, change of control or other liquidity event that takes place prior to cancellation of the Group A-1 Units. ~~In the Recapitalization, the holders of the 2016 Preferred Units, as defined below, forfeited an additional 749,813 Group A Units, which were recapitalized into Group A-1 Units.~~

•Group B Units—Sculptor Corp holds a general partner interest and Group B Units in each Sculptor Operating Partnership. Sculptor Corp owns all of the Group B Units, which represent equity interest in the Sculptor Operating Partnerships. Except during the Distribution Holiday as described above, the Group B Units are economically identical to the Group A Units held by executive managing directors but are not exchangeable for Class A Shares and are not subject to vesting, book-up, forfeiture or minimum retained ownership requirements.

•Group E Units—Group E Units are limited partner interests issued to certain executive managing directors that are only entitled to future profits and ~~gains.~~gains upon satisfaction of a certain performance condition. Each Group E Unit converts into a Group A Unit and becomes exchangeable for one Class A Share (or the cash equivalent thereof) to the extent there has been a sufficient amount of appreciation for a Group E Unit to achieve a book-up target and, subject to other conditions contained in the limited partnership agreements of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships, the Distribution Holiday has ended (or an earlier exchange date is established by the Exchange ~~Committee)~~Committee, which consists of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of Sculptor Capital Management, Inc.). The Group E Units are entitled to share in residual assets upon liquidation, dissolution or

~~Company’s~~ Company's Annual Report for additional details. Group E Unit grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation. See Note 13 in the ~~Company’s~~Company's Annual Report for additional information.

•Group P Units—Group P Units are limited partner interests issued to certain executive managing directors that are only entitled to future profits and gains upon satisfaction of certain service and ~~performance~~market conditions. Each Group P Unit becomes exchangeable for one Class A Share (or the cash equivalent thereof), in each case upon satisfaction of certain service and ~~performance~~market conditions at such time and, with respect to exchanges, to the extent there has been sufficient appreciation for a Group P Unit to achieve a book-up target and, subject to other conditions contained in the limited partnership agreements of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships, the Distribution Holiday has ended (or an earlier exchange date is established by the Exchange Committee). The Group P Units are entitled to share in residual assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up and become eligible to participate in any tag along right,, in a change of control transaction or other liquidity event only to the extent that certain ~~performance~~market conditions are met and to the extent of their relative positive capital accounts (if any). The terms of the Group P Units may be varied for certain executive managing directors. ~~Group P Unit grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation.~~ See Note 13 in the ~~Company’s~~Company's Annual Report for additional information.

•~~Preferred Units~~— The Preferred Units were non-voting preferred equity interests in the Sculptor Operating Partnerships. Preferred Units issued in 2016 and 2017 are collectively referred to as the “2016 Preferred Units.” The 2016 Preferred Units were redeemed in full as a part of the Recapitalization. The Preferred Units issued in 2019 are referred to as the “2019 Preferred Units.” The 2019 Preferred Units were redeemed in full at a 25% discount in the fourth quarter of 2020.

Executive managing directors hold a number of Class B Shares equal to the number of Group A Units, vested Group E Units, Group A-1 Units (to the extent the corresponding Class B Shares have not been canceled in connection with the vesting of certain Group E Units issued in connection with the Recapitalization, as further discussed in Note 3 in the ~~Company’s~~Company's Annual Report), and Group P Units held. Upon the exchange of a Group A Unit or a Group P Unit for a Class A Share, the corresponding Class B Share is canceled and a Group B Unit is issued to Sculptor Corp. Class B Shares that relate to Group A-1 Units will be voted pro rata in accordance with the vote of the Class A Shares.

The following table presents the number of shares and units of the Registrant and the Sculptor Operating Partnerships, respectively, that were outstanding as of September 30, ~~2021:~~2022:

Share Repurchase Program

In February 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to repurchase up to $100.0 million of its outstanding common stock. The Company records its treasury stock repurchases at cost on a trade date basis. As of September 30, 2022, the Company repurchased 2,577,605 Class A Shares at a cost of $28.2 million for an average price of $10.95 per share through open market purchase transactions. As of September 30, 2022, $71.8 million remained available for repurchase of the Company’s common stock under the share repurchase program. All of the repurchased shares are classified as treasury stock in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The repurchase program has no expiration date. The Company may purchase shares on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the use of other techniques such as accelerated share repurchases. The timing and amount of any transactions will be subject to the discretion of the Company based upon market conditions and other opportunities that the Company may have for the use or investment of its cash balances. The repurchase program does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and exclude some of the disclosures required in audited financial statements and therefore should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report. ~~In the opinion of management,~~Management believes all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring ~~nature.~~nature and that estimates made in preparing unaudited, interim, consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities which are considered to be variable interest entities and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain other entities which are not considered variable interest entities but the Company is determined to have control. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. ~~Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.~~

The results of operations presented for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. For example, incentive income for the majority of the Company’s multi-strategy ~~assets under management~~AUM is recognized in the fourth quarter each year, based on full year investment performance.

Policies of Consolidated Entities

Consolidated Entities

For purposes of these consolidated financial statements, “consolidated entities” refers to funds, special purpose entities, investment vehicles and other similar structures which the Company is required to consolidate in accordance with GAAP. The funds are considered investment companies for GAAP purposes. Pursuant to specialized accounting guidance for investment companies and the retention of that guidance in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the investments held by the consolidated funds are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair values.

The policy applied by the Company is that a consolidated entity that is considered an investment company under GAAP will generally consolidate another investment company when it owns substantially all of the interest in that investment company.

SCULPTOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. — UNAUDITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Income of Consolidated Entities

Income of consolidated entities consists of interest income, dividend income and other miscellaneous items. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. The consolidated entities may place debt obligations, including bank debt and other participation interests, on non-accrual status and, when necessary, reduce current interest income by charging off any interest receivable when collection of all or a portion of such accrued interest has become doubtful. The balance of non-accrual investments as of September 30, 2022, and the impact of such investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were not material. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, net of withholding taxes, if applicable. Premiums and discounts are amortized and accreted, respectively, to income of consolidated entities in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Expenses of Consolidated Entities

Expenses of consolidated entities consist of interest expense, general and administrative and other miscellaneous expenses. Interest expense is recorded on an accrual basis.

Certain Assets and Liabilities of Consolidated Entities

Investments of consolidated entities are carried at fair value and include the consolidated entities’ investments in securities, investment companies and other investments. Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date basis. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments of the funds are determined on a specific identification basis and are included within net losses of consolidated entities in the consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of investments held by the consolidated entities is based on observable market prices when available. Such values are generally based on the last reported sales price as of the reporting date. In the absence of readily ascertainable market values, the determination of the fair value of investments held by the consolidated funds may require significant judgment or estimation. For information regarding the valuation of these assets, see Note 4.

Assets of the consolidated structured alternative investment solution are presented within investments of consolidated entities, and liabilities due to third parties are presented within notes payable, at fair value within liabilities of consolidated entities in the consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of the vehicle’s financial assets and liabilities and related interest and other income are presented within net losses of consolidated entities, and ongoing expenses of the fund are presented as expenses of consolidated entities in the consolidated statements of operations.

Also included within investments of consolidated entities are U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities of 90 days or more when purchased, which are held in a trust account by the Company’s consolidated SPAC. These investments are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in the SPAC trust agreement.

Consolidation of SPAC, Structured Alternative Investment Solution and Other Funds

In 2021, the Company consolidated a SPAC, which it sponsors and continues to consolidate as of September 30, 2022. The SPAC accrues interest income on U.S. Treasury bill investments held in a trust account, and incurs certain operational expenses related to legal, insurance and deal research costs.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Company consolidated a fund it manages as a result of an increase in the Company’s investment in the vehicle, which resulted in the Company having a controlling financial interest in the VIE; the fund was subsequently deconsolidated in the first quarter of 2022 as the Company determined it was no longer the primary beneficiary as a result of the Company’s redemption of its economic exposure to the fund. The Company recognized no gain or loss from consolidation and deconsolidation of the fund in the first quarter of 2022.

SCULPTOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. — UNAUDITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

Additionally, in the first quarter of 2022, the Company closed on a $350.0 million structured alternative investment solution. The vehicle is a collateralized financing vehicle that issues senior and subordinated notes to investors and uses those proceeds to invest in a diversified portfolio of funds managed by the Company. Senior and mezzanine notes issued by the vehicle make periodic payments based on a stated interest rate, while the most subordinated notes have no stated interest rate but receive periodic payments from excess cash flows remaining after periodic payments have been made to the other notes and for fees and expenses due, as prescribed by the terms of the notes.

The structured alternative investment solution is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) since it lacks sufficient equity at risk to finance its expected activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties, as it is financed through senior, mezzanine and subordinated notes. The Company consolidates the entity, as it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the vehicle’s economic performance, and the Company has the right to receive benefits or the obligation to absorb losses of the vehicle in the form of its retained interest that could potentially be significant to the vehicle. The Company invested approximately $127.8 million in the vehicle. The collateral assets of the consolidated entity are held solely to satisfy the obligations of the entity, and the investors in the consolidated vehicle have no recourse against the Company for any losses sustained by the entity.

The Company measures the financial assets of the consolidated structured alternative investment solution, an investment company, at fair value using net asset value (“NAV”) per share of the underlying funds. The Company may determine, based on its own due diligence and investment procedures, that NAV per share does not represent fair value. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the fair value in good faith and in a manner that it reasonably chooses, in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. The terms of the investments in underlying funds generally provide for minimum holding or lock-up periods, as well as redemption restrictions. Refer to Note 4 for further disclosures of investments for which fair value is measured using NAV per share.

The Company has elected the fair value option for the financial liabilities of the structured alternative investment solution. The Company measures the financial liabilities of its consolidated entity based on the fair value of the financial assets of its consolidated entity, as the Company believes the fair value of the financial assets are more observable. The financial liabilities are measured as (i) the sum of the fair value of the consolidated fund assets less (ii) the sum of the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the Company. As a result of this measurement alternative, there is no attribution of amounts to noncontrolling interest for consolidated structured alternative investment solution.

See Note 2 in the Company’s Annual Report for the complete listing of the Company’s significant accounting policies.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

No changes to GAAP that went into effect in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Future Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

No changes to GAAP that are not yet effective are expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

~~See Note 2 of the Annual Report for the complete listing of our accounting policies.~~

3. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests in the Company’s subsidiaries held by parties other than the Company, and primarily relate to the Group A Units held by executive managing directors.

Prior to the Recapitalization, the attribution of net income (loss) of each Sculptor Operating Partnership was based on the relative ownership percentages of the Group A Units (noncontrolling interests) and the Group B Units (indirectly held by the Registrant). In applying the substantive profit-sharing arrangements in the Sculptor Operating Partnerships’ limited partnership

SCULPTOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. — UNAUDITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

agreements to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, for periods subsequent to the Recapitalization and for the duration of the Distribution Holiday, the Company will allocate net income of each Sculptor Operating Partnership in any fiscal year solely to the Group B Units and any net loss on a pro rata basis based on the relative ownership percentages of the Group A Units and Group B Units. To the extent a Sculptor Operating Partnership incurs a net loss in an interim period, any net income recognized in a subsequent interim period in the same fiscal year is allocated on a pro rata basis to the extent of previously allocated net loss. Conversely, to the extent a Sculptor Operating Partnership recognizes net income in an interim period, any net loss incurred in a subsequent interim period in the same fiscal year is allocated solely to the Group B Units to the extent of previously allocated net income.

Noncontrolling interests are presented as a separate component of shareholders’ equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The primary components of noncontrolling interests are separately presented in the Company’s consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit) to distinguish the shareholders’ equity (deficit) attributable to Class A shareholders and noncontrolling interest holders. Net income (loss) includes the net income (loss) attributable to the holders of noncontrolling interest on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

SculptorOperating Group Ownership

The Company’s equity interest in the Sculptor Operating Group decreased to 46.2% as of September 30, 2022, from 46.5% as of September 30, 2021. Changes in the Company’s interest in the Sculptor Operating Group have historically been, and in the future may be, driven by the following: (i) the exchange of Group A Units and Group P Units for Class A Shares, at which time the related Class B Shares are also canceled; (ii) vesting of RSAs; (iii) the issuance of Class A Shares under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, 2013 Incentive Plan and 2022 Incentive Plan related to the settlement of Class A restricted share units (the “RSUs”) or Class A market performance-based RSUs (the “PSUs”); (iv) the forfeiture of Group A Units and participating Group P Units by a departing executive managing director; and (v) the repurchase of Class A Shares and Group A Units. The Company’s interest in the Sculptor Operating Group is generally expected to continue to increase over time as additional Class A Shares are issued upon the exchange of Group A Units and Group P Units, as well as the settlement of vested RSUs, PSUs and RSAs. However, additional repurchases of Class A Shares under the Company’s 2022 Share Repurchase Program may lead to a decrease of the Company’s interest in the Sculptor Operating Group. Additionally, the Company’s economic interest in the Sculptor Operating Group will decline when Group P Units begin to participate, as described in Note 13 in the Company's Annual Report.

The carrying amounts of equity method investments are recorded in investments in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 15 for details of the related party nature of such investments.

Investments of consolidated entities include both investments of the Company’s consolidated SPAC, which consists of investments in U.S. Treasury bills held in a trust account, as well as investments held by the Company’s consolidated structured alternative investment solution. The investments of the consolidated structured alternative investment solution that the Company manages are generally measured at fair value using the NAV per share practical expedient. The Company may determine based on its own due diligence and investment procedures, that NAV per share does not represent fair value. In such circumstances, the Company will estimate the fair value in good faith and in a manner that it reasonably chooses in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not categorize investments where fair value is measured using the NAV practical expedient within the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the investments of the structured alternative investment solution that are measured at NAV by strategy type and ability to redeem such investments as of September 30, 2022.

(2)$148.7 million of investments are subject to an initial lock-up period of three years during which time no withdrawals or redemptions are allowed. Once the lock-up period ends, the investments are able to be redeemed with the frequency noted above.

(3)18% of these investments are in closed-end funds which cannot be redeemed, as distributions will be received as the underlying assets are liquidated, which is expected to be approximately six years.

(4)100% of these investments are in closed-end funds which cannot be redeemed, as distributions will be received as the underlying assets are liquidated, which is expected to be approximately seven to nine years.

As of September 30, 2022, the structured alternative investment solution had unfunded commitments of $104.7 million related to the investments presented in the table above.

Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value represents the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date (i.e., an exit price). The Company and the funds it manages hold a variety of investments, certain of which are not publicly traded or that are otherwise illiquid. Significant judgement and estimation go into the assumptions that drive the fair value of these investments. The fair value of these investments may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, prices from third parties (including independent pricing services and relevant broker quotes), models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly nor indirectly market observable. Due to the inherent uncertainty of valuations of investments that are determined to be illiquid or do not have readily ascertainable fair values, the estimates of fair value may differ from the values ultimately realized, and those differences can be material.

SCULPTOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. — UNAUDITED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring ~~assets and liabilities~~financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type and the specific characteristics of the financial ~~instrument.~~instrument, including 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 generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified and disclosed into one of the following categories based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values:

•Level I – Quoted prices that are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments that would generally be included in this category are ~~certain~~ listed equities, U.S. government obligations and ~~certain~~ listed derivatives. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments.

~~SCULPTOR CAPITAL MANAGEMENT, INC. — UNAUDITED~~

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2021~~

•Level II – Quotations received from dealers making a market for financial instruments (“broker quotes”), valuations obtained from independent third-party pricing services, the use of models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are either directly or indirectly ~~market~~ observable as of the ~~measurement~~reporting date. The types of financial instruments that would generally be included in this category are certain corporate bonds and loans, certain credit default swap contracts, certain bank debt securities, certain commercial real estate debt, less liquid equity securities, forward contracts and certain over the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs. These financial instruments exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial instruments.

•Level III – Pricing inputs that are unobservable infor the ~~market~~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 of financial ~~instrument~~instruments in this category may require significant management judgment or estimation. The fair value of these financial instruments may be estimated using a combination of observed transaction prices, independent pricing services, relevant broker quotes, models or other valuation methodologies based on pricing inputs that are neither directly or indirectly market observable (e.g., cash flows, implied yields, EBITDA multiples). The types of financial instruments that would generally be included in this category include CLOs, certain warrant liabilities, certain credit default swap contracts, certain bank debt securities, certain OTC derivatives, asset-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and investments in affiliated credit funds.

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.

For financial instruments for which the Company uses independent pricing services for valuation, the Company performs analytical procedures and compares independent pricing service valuations to other vendors’ pricing as applicable. The Company also performs due diligence reviews on independent pricing services on an annual basis and performs other due diligence procedures as may be deemed necessary.

Reconciliation of Fair Value Measurements Categorized within Level III

Gains and losses on investments categorized within Level III, excluding those related to investments of consolidated entities and foreign currency translation adjustments, are recorded within net (losses) gains on investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Gains and losses related to foreign currency translation adjustments are recorded in the statements of comprehensive income (loss)., and gains and losses related to investment of consolidated entities are recorded within net losses of consolidated entities. Amortization of premium, accretion of discount and foreign exchange gains and losses on non-U.S. dollar investments are also included within gains and losses in the tables below. Changes in fair value of warrant liabilities are included in other loss in the consolidated statements of operations. In the first quarter of 2022, the warrants of the consolidated SPAC began to trade publicly, and as such, were transferred from Level III to Level I. Changes in fair value of warrant liabilities and notes payable of the consolidated entities are included in net losses of consolidated entities in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company elected to measure its investments in CLOs, U.S. government obligations and notes payable of the consolidated fund at fair value through consolidated net (loss) income in order to simplify its accounting for these instruments.

Level II Valuation ~~Methodologies for Fair Value Measurements Categorized~~Techniques

Financial instruments classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy are comprised of bank debt held by the Company’s consolidated structured alternative investment solution. These investments are valued using independent pricing services. There are no unobservable valuation inputs used in determining the fair value of these investments.

Level III Valuation Techniques

Financial instruments classified within Level III of the fair value hierarchy are comprised of CLOs, warrant liabilities and warrants and notes payable of consolidated entities.

Investments in CLOs are valued using independent pricing services. The Company performs procedures over the values provided by the pricing services, as discussed above.

Warrant liabilities of the Company are valued by independent pricing services using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, for which the Company’s Class A ~~Share~~share price, warrant exercise price, risk free rate, volatility, dividend yield and term to expiry are the primary inputs to the valuation. The ~~Company reviews~~are no unobservable quantitative valuation inputs ~~assumptions and valuation methodology~~ used in determining the ~~warrants’ valuations.~~fair value of the warrant liabilities.

The warrant liabilities of the consolidated SPAC are currently valued using quoted prices. Prior to being transferred to Level I, they were valued by independent pricing services using a Monte Carlo simulation model. As noted above, the warrant liabilities of the consolidated SPAC were transferred from Level III to Level I in the first quarter of 2022.

Notes payable of consolidated entities are valued using independent pricing services. The Company measures the financial liabilities of its consolidated entity based on the fair value of the financial assets of the consolidated entity, as the Company believes the fair value of the financial assets is more observable. Refer to Note 2 for additional valuation considerations of the notes payable of consolidated entities.

Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s debt obligations had a fair value of $105.2 million and a carrying value of $123.8 million. Management estimates that the carrying value of the Company’s ~~financial instruments not measured at the fair value, including its debt obligations and~~ repurchase agreements approximated their fair ~~values~~value as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The fair value measurements for the Company’s debt obligations and repurchase agreements are categorized as Level III within the fair value hierarchy and were determined using independent pricing services. ~~The fair~~Management estimates that the carrying value ~~measurements for~~of the Company’s ~~debt obligations are categorized~~other financial instruments approximated their fair values as ~~Level III within the fair value hierarchy and for the 2020 Term Loan is determined using a discounted cash flow model and for CLO Investments Loans are determined using independent pricing services.~~of September 30, 2022.

Loans Sold to CLOs Managed by the Company

From time to time the Company ~~sells~~may sell loans to CLOs managed by the Company. These loans are purchased by the Company in the open market and simultaneously sold for cash to the CLOs. The loans are accounted for as transfers of financial assets as they meet the criteria for derecognition under U.S. GAAP. No loans were sold in each of the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. The Company invests in senior secured and subordinated notes issued by certain CLOs to which it sold loans in the past. These investments represent retained interests to the Company and are in the form of a 5% vertical strip (i.e., 5% of each of the senior and subordinated tranches of notes issued by each CLO). The retained interests are reported within investments on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s investments in these retained interests had a fair value of ~~$89.0~~$74.6 million and ~~$90.3~~$87.9 million, respectively.

The Company is subject to risks associated with the performance of the underlying collateral and the market yield of the assets. The Company’s risk of loss from retained interest is limited to its investments in these interests. The Company receives quarterly payments of interest and principal, as applicable, on these retained interests. InFor the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the Company received ~~$2.1~~$2.0 million and ~~$2.3~~$2.1 million, respectively, of interest and principal payments related to the retained interests.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2021~~

The Company uses independent pricing services to value its investments in the CLOs, including the retained interests, and therefore the only key assumption is the price provided by such service. A corresponding adverse change of 10% or 20% on price would have a corresponding impact on the fair value of the Company’s investments in CLOs.

5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

In the ordinary course of business, the Company sponsors the formation of ~~funds~~entities that are considered VIEs. In accordance with GAAP consolidation guidance, the Company consolidates certain VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary either directly or indirectly, through a consolidated entity. See Note 2 in the ~~Company's~~Company’s Annual Report for a discussion of entities that are VIEs and the evaluation of those entities for consolidation by the Company.

2020 Credit Agreement

On September 25, 2020, Sculptor Capital LP, as borrower, (the “Borrower”), and certain other subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a credit and guaranty agreement (the “2020 Credit Agreement”), consisting of (i) a senior secured term loan facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $320.0 million (the “2020 Term Loan”) and (ii) a senior secured revolving credit facility in an initial aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million (the “2020 Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds from the 2020 Term Loan were first allocated to the full fair value of the warrants issued in connection with the 2020 Credit Agreement (which establishes both a liability and a debt discount, as described below), and the residual proceeds, net of deferred offering costs and discounts, of $275.8 million was then recognized as the initial carrying value of the 2020 Term Loan.

Certain prepayments of the 2020 Term Loan are subject to a prepayment premium (the “Call Premium”) equal to (a) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, a customary “make-whole” premium equal to the present value of all required interest payments that would be due from the date of prepayment through and including the second anniversary of the Closing Date plus a premium of 3.0% of the principal amount of loans prepaid, (b) on or after the second anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of 3.0% of the principal amount of loans prepaid, (c) on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but prior to the four anniversary of the Closing Date, a premium of 2.0%

On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into a letter agreement amending the 2020 Credit Agreement to increase the amount of voluntary prepayments for which the Call Premium shall not apply from $175.0 million to $225.0 million in exchange for an amendment fee of $1.75 million. As such, no Call Premium was due on the first $225.0 million prepaid by the Company. The amendment fee was recorded as an additional discount to the 2020 Term Loan in the second quarter of 2021. In ~~the nine months ended September 30,~~ 2021, the Company prepaid $224.4 million of the 2020 Term Loan, resulting in an outstanding balance of $95.0 million, which is due at maturity. The Company recognized a $30.2 million loss on this retirement of debt. As a result of the $175.0 million of aggregate prepayments made through March 31, 2021, the Company is no longer subject to the cash sweep or financial maintenance covenants, other than the covenant requiring $20.0 billion minimum fee-paying ~~assets under management~~Assets Under Management described below.

Borrowings under the 2020 Credit Agreement bear interest at a per annum rate equal to, at the Company’s option, one, two, three or six-month LIBOR (subject to a 0.75% floor) plus 6.25%, or a base rate (subject to a 1.75% floor) plus 5.25%. The Borrower is also required to pay an undrawn commitment fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.50% of the undrawn portion of the 2020 Revolving Credit Facility.

The 2020 Credit Agreement prohibits the total fee-paying ~~assets under management,~~Assets Under Management, subject to certain exclusions, of the Borrower, the guarantors and their consolidated subsidiaries as of the last day of any fiscal quarter to be less than $20.0 billion. The 2020 Credit Agreement contains customary events of default for a transaction of this type, after which obligations under the 2020 Credit Agreement may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Borrower, the guarantors or any of the material subsidiaries of the foregoing after which the obligations under the 2020 Credit Agreement become automatically due and payable. The 2020 Credit Agreement also provided the counterparty the right to appoint an individual to a seat on the Company’s Board of Directors.

Warrants

In connection with the 2020 Credit Agreement, the Company has issued and outstanding warrants to purchase 4,338,015 Class A Shares. The warrants have a 10-year term from the Closing Date and an initial exercise price per share equal to $11.93. The exercise price is subject to reduction by an amount equal to any dividends paid on Class A Shares. As a result, the exercise price was ~~$8.74~~$8.22 per share as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. The warrants provide for customary adjustments in the event of a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar event. In lieu of making a cash payment otherwise contemplated upon exercise, the holder may exercise the warrants in whole or in part to receive a net number of Class A Shares. In addition, one of the warrants provides that, upon exercise in whole or in part by the holder, the Company may decide in its sole discretion whether the holder’s exercise of such warrant will be settled by delivery of Class A Shares (which shares may be reduced to a net number of Class A Shares in accordance with the procedure described in the preceding sentence) or by the Company’s payment to the holder of an amount in cash equal to the Black-Scholes value as provided for in the applicable warrant agreement. If the Company undergoes a change of control prior to the expiration date, the holder will have the right to require the Company to repurchase any remaining portion of the warrants not yet exercised at their Black-Scholes value as provided for in the applicable agreement. The warrants restrict transfers and other dispositions for 18 months from the Closing Date, subject to certain exceptions.

Credit Facility of a Consolidated Entity

In the first quarter of 2022, the structured alternative investment vehicle entered into a $52.5 million credit facility which expires March 18, 2025. The credit facility is capped at $20.0 million of the total borrowing capacity per quarter. The facility is subject to a SOFR reference rate, as defined in the agreement, plus 3.00%. The facility is also subject to an annual 1.15% unused commitment fee. As of September 30, 2022, the fund has not drawn on the facility. The credit facility agreement is subject to other customary terms common for instruments of this type. The creditors of the Company’s consolidated entities have no recourse to the Company.

CLO Investments Loans

The Company entered into loans to finance portions of investments in certain CLOs (collectively, the “CLO Investments Loans”). In general, the Company will make interest payments on the loans at such time interest payments are received on its investments in the CLOs, and will make principal payments on the loans to the extent principal payments are received on its investments in the CLOs, with any remaining balance due upon maturity.

The loans are subject to customary events of default and covenants and also include terms that require the Company’s continued involvement with the CLOs. In addition to customary events of default included in financing arrangements of this type, an event of default would also be triggered if there is an event of default at the CLO level. Prior to the relevant CLO’s maturity date, this would include certain material covenant breaches, regulatory and insolvency events for the relevant CLO issuer, as well as a payment default, where the relevant CLO is unable to make interest payments on the senior, non-deferrable interest notes issued by the CLO. The CLO Investments Loans do not have any financial maintenance covenants and are secured by the related investments in CLOs ~~which investments had~~with fair values of ~~$43.3~~$40.1 million and ~~$66.5~~$43.1 million as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively.

8. SECURITIES SOLD UNDER AGREEMENTS TO REPURCHASE

The Company has a €200.0 million master credit facility agreement (the “CLO Financing Facility”) to finance portions of the risk retention investments in certain CLOs managed by the Company. Subject to the terms and conditions of the CLO Financing Facility, the Company and the counterparty may enter into repurchase agreements on such terms agreed upon by the parties. Each transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility will bear interest at a rate based on the weighted average effective interest rate of each class of securities that have been sold plus a spread to be agreed upon by the parties. As of September 30, ~~2021, €61.4~~2022, €42.9 million of the CLO Financing Facility remained available.

Each transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility provides for payment netting and, in the case of a default or similar event with respect to the counterparty to the CLO Financing Facility, provides for netting across transactions. Generally, upon a counterparty default, the Company can terminate all transactions under the CLO Financing Facility and offset amounts it owes in respect of any one transaction against collateral it has received in respect of any other transactions under the CLO Financing Facility; provided, however, that in the case of certain defaults, the Company may only be able to terminate and offset solely with respect to the transaction affected by the default. During the term of a transaction entered into under the CLO Financing Facility, the Company will deliver cash or additional securities acceptable to the counterparty if the securities sold are in default. In addition to customary events of default included in financing arrangements of this type, an event of default would also be triggered if there is an event of default at the CLO level. Prior to the relevant CLO’s maturity date, this would include certain material covenant breaches, regulatory and insolvency events for the relevant CLO issuer, as well as a payment default where the relevant CLO is unable to make interest payments on the senior, non-deferrable interest notes issued by the CLO. Upon termination of a transaction, the Company will repurchase the previously sold securities from the counterparty at a previously determined repurchase price. The CLO Financing Facility may be terminated at any time upon certain defaults or circumstances agreed upon by the parties.

The repurchase agreements may result in credit exposure in the event the counterparty to the transaction is unable to fulfill its contractual obligations. The Company minimizes the credit risk associated with these activities by monitoring counterparty credit exposure and collateral values. Other than margin requirements, the Company is not subject to additional terms or contingencies which would expose the Company to additional obligations based upon the performance of the securities pledged as collateral.

Income and Fees Receivable	Income and Fees Receivable	$	45,876	$	539,623		Income and Fees Receivable	$	26,037	$	193,636

The Company recognizes management fees over the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company records incentive income when it is probable that a significant reversal of income will not occur. The majority of management fees and incentive income receivable at each balance sheet date is generally collected during the following quarter.

The following table presents the Company’s unearned income and fees as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020:~~2021:

Unearned Income and Fees	Unearned Income and Fees	$	70,042	$	61,880		Unearned Income and Fees	$	66,188	$	62,800

A liability for unearned incentive income is generally recognized when the Company receives incentive income distributions from its funds, primarily its real estate funds, whereby the distributions received have not yet met the recognition threshold of being probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue will not occur. A liability for unearned management fees is generally recognized when management fees are paid to the Company on a quarterly basis in advance, based on the amount of ~~assets under management~~Assets Under Management at the beginning of the quarter. In the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the Company recognized ~~$9.8~~$47.2 million and ~~$3.9~~$9.8 million, respectively, of the beginning balance of unearned incentive income for each respective year. The Company recognized all of the beginning balances of unearned management fees during the respective quarter.

12. INCOME TAXES

The computation of the effective tax rate and provision at each interim period requires the use of certain estimates and significant judgment including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets existing as of the balance sheet date. The estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, additional information is obtained or as tax laws and regulations change. Accordingly, the effective tax rate for interim periods is not indicative of the tax rate expected for a full year.

The Company recognizes tax benefits for amounts that are “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. For uncertain tax positions in which the benefit to be realized does not meet the “more likely than not” threshold, the Company establishes a liability, which is included within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had a liability for unrecognized tax benefits of $8.3 million. As of and for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company did not accrue interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company does not believe that there will be a significant change to the uncertain tax positions during the next 12 months. The Company’s total unrecognized tax benefits if recognized, would affect its tax expense by $4.8 million as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Tax Receivable Agreement

The purchase of Group A Units from current and former executive managing directors and the Ziffs with the proceeds from the 2007 Offerings, and subsequent taxable exchanges by them of Partner Equity Units for Class A Shares on a one-for-one basis (or, at the Company’s option, a cash equivalent), resulted, and, in the case of future exchanges, are anticipated to result, in an increase in the tax basis of the assets of the Sculptor Operating Group that would not otherwise have been available. The Company anticipates that any such tax basis adjustment resulting from an exchange will be allocated principally to certain intangible assets of the Sculptor Operating Group, and the Company will derive its tax benefits principally through amortization of these intangibles over a 15-year period. Consequently, these tax basis adjustments will increase, for tax purposes, the Company’s depreciation and amortization expenses and will therefore reduce the amount of tax that Sculptor Corp and any other future corporate taxpaying entities that acquire Group B Units in connection with an exchange, if any, would otherwise be required to pay in the future. Accordingly, pursuant to the tax receivable agreement, such corporate taxpaying entities (including Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. once it became treated as a corporate taxpayer following the Company’s conversion from a partnership to a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, effective April 1, 2019 (the “Corporate Classification Change”), have agreed to pay the executive managing directors and the Ziffs a percentage of the amount of cash savings, if any, in federal, state and local income taxes in the U.S. that these entities actually realize related to their units as a result of such increases in tax basis. For tax years prior to 2019, such percentage was 85% of such annual cash savings under the tax receivable agreement.

In connection with the Recapitalization, the Company amended the tax receivable agreement to provide that, conditioned on Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. electing to be classified as, or converting into, a corporation for U.S. tax purposes, (i) no amounts are due or payable with respect to the 2017 tax year, (ii) only partial payments equal to 85% of the excess of such cash savings that would otherwise be due over 85% of such cash savings determined assuming that taxable income equals Economic Income are due and payable in respect of the 2018 tax year and (iii) the percentage of cash savings required to be paid with respect to the 2019 tax year and thereafter, as well as with respect to cash savings from subsequent exchanges, is reduced to 75%.

~~NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS~~

~~SEPTEMBER 30, 2021~~

In connection with the departure of certain former executive managing directors since the 2007 Offerings, the right to receive payments under the tax receivable agreement by those former executive managing directors was contributed to the Sculptor Operating Group. As a result, the Company expects to pay to the other executive managing directors and the Ziffs approximately 69% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in federal, state and local income taxes in the U.S. that the Company realizes as a result of such increases in tax basis with respect to future tax years. To the extent that the Company does not realize any cash savings, it would not be required to make corresponding payments under the tax receivable agreement.

The Company recorded its initial estimate of future payments under the tax receivable agreement as a decrease to additional paid-in capital and an increase in the tax receivable agreement liability in the consolidated financial statements. Subsequent adjustments to the liability for future payments under the tax receivable agreement related to changes in estimated future tax rates or state income tax apportionment are recognized through current period earnings in the consolidated statements of operations.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2022

The estimate of the timing and the amount of future payments under the tax receivable agreement involves several assumptions that do not account for the significant uncertainties associated with these potential payments, including an assumption that Sculptor Corp will have sufficient taxable income in the relevant tax years to utilize the tax benefits that would give rise to an obligation to make payments. The actual timing and amount of any actual payments under the tax receivable agreement will vary based upon these and a number of other factors. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the estimated future payment under the tax receivable agreement was ~~$183.1~~$178.8 million, which is recorded in the tax receivable agreement liability balance on the consolidated balance sheets.

The table below presents management’s estimate as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, of the maximum amounts that would be payable under the tax receivable agreement assuming that the Company will have sufficient taxable income each year to fully realize the expected tax savings. In light of the numerous factors affecting the Company’s obligation to make such payments, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments may differ materially from those presented in the table. The impact of any net operating losses is included in the “Thereafter” amount in the table below.

Litigation

On August 24, 2022, a complaint under Section 220 of Delaware’s general corporation law, which allows shareholders to inspect corporate books and records, was filed by Daniel S. Och, the founder and former Chief Executive Officer (the “Founder”) of Och-Ziff Capital Management LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries (“Och-Ziff”) and four former Och-Ziff executive managing directors. In April 2022, the Founder and the former executive managing directors made a demand to inspect books and records relating to alleged corporate governance concerns in connection with the promotion of James S. Levin to Chief Executive Officer, a new executive compensation plan approved by the Board of Directors in December 2021, and other matters related to the Board’s exercise of its duties. Despite the voluntary production by the Company of extensive documentation in response to that demand, the Founder and the former executive managing directors filed this Section 220 complaint to compel additional production. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and is contesting the proceeding.

From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business. The Company is also subject to extensive scrutiny by regulatory agencies globally that have, or may in the future have, regulatory authority over the Company and its business activities. ~~This has resulted,~~

The Company accrues a liability for legal proceedings only when those matters present loss contingencies that it believes are both probable and reasonably estimable.

Additionally, the Deferred Prosecution Agreement (the “DPA”) between the Company, the DOJ and the USAO was terminated shortly thereafter.

The Company has unfunded capital commitments of ~~$70.7~~$200.2 million to certain funds it ~~manages.~~manages, of which $104.7 million relates to commitments of the Company’s consolidated structured alternative investment solution, which do not directly impact the cash flows related to Class A Shareholders. The remaining $95.5 million relates to commitments of the Company to unconsolidated funds. Approximately ~~$48.6~~$67.8 million of ~~these~~the Company’s commitments will be funded by contributions to the Company from certain employees and executive managing directors. The Company expects to fund these commitments over the approximately next ~~seven~~six years. ~~In addition, certain current and former executive managing directors of the Company, collectively, have unfunded capital commitments to funds managed by the Company of up to $32.2 million.~~ The Company has guaranteed these commitments in the event any executive managing director fails to fund any portion when called by the fund. The Company has historically not funded any of these commitments and does not expect to in the future, as these commitments are expected to be funded by the Company’s executive managing directors individually.

~~In addition, in March 2021, the Company committed to acquire a non-controlling membership interest of BharCap Sponsor LLC., see Note 15 for additional details.~~

Other Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts that provide a variety of general indemnifications. Such contracts include those with certain service providers, brokers and trading counterparties. Any exposure to the Company under these arrangements could involve future claims that may be made against the Company. Currently, no such claims exist or are expected to arise and, accordingly, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with such indemnifications.

Additionally, the Company has agreements with certain of the funds it manages to reimburse certain expenses in excess of an agreed-upon cap. During the ~~three and~~ nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020~~2021 these amounts were not material.

Overview of Our Financial Results

As a global alternative asset manager, our results of operations are impacted by a variety of factors, including conditions in the global financial markets and economic and political environments. Global risk assets fell under pressure in the latter half of the quarter as financial conditions tightened at a velocity not witnessed since COVID and the global financial crisis in 2008. This resulted in the third consecutive quarter of declines in both global equities and bonds, a first in over three decades. Despite the challenging market environment, in the third quarter ended September 30, 2022, Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund and Sculptor Master Fund delivered exceptional relative performance outperforming relevant market indices. On a year-to-date basis, Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund delivered exceptional relative outperformance and Sculptor Master Fund delivered on investor expectations capturing only a portion of the market downside. Market conditions remain challenged and we believe both our funds, through their unconstrained investment style, and our platform, from our business diversification and strong balance sheet, are well positioned to navigate these challenging conditions.

As of September 30, 2022, our AUM was $36.1 billion, a decrease of $1.3 billion from the prior year period. Our AUM decreased primarily due to: (i) performance-related depreciation in multi-strategy and credit funds and (ii) distributions and other reductions in Institutional Credit Strategies and real estate funds, including reductions due to the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments on our European CLOs. These decreases were partially offset by net inflows in Institutional Credit Strategies and real estate funds. We expanded our product offering through new products and new distribution channels, partnering with new and existing clients. In 2022, we held first closes for our Real Estate Credit Fund II, Tactical Credit Fund (“STAX”), the latest vintage in our series of seven closed-end opportunistic credit funds, and closed a $350.0 million structured alternative investment solution, which was tailored to meet the needs of insurance investors. Lastly, we launched two additional CLOs in the first nine months of 2022. These new launches further diversify our business by product, channel and vintage, continuing the trend of raising long term capital, as we grew our long-term AUM to 72% of our total AUM as of September 30, 2022.

We reported a GAAP net loss ~~attributable to Class A Shareholders~~ of ~~$4.3~~$22.5 million in the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, compared to net ~~income~~loss of ~~$8.0~~$4.3 million for the third quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, and GAAP net loss of $13.7 million in the first nine months of 2022, compared to net loss of $2.8 million in the first nine months of ~~2021,~~2021.

Management fees for the third quarter of 2022 were $66.2 million, a decrease of $10.6 million compared to ~~a net loss~~the third quarter of ~~$45.5 million~~2021. Our management fees fell primarily due to multi-strategy funds, driven by lower average assets under management, primarily as result of negative fund performance in the first ~~nine months~~half of ~~2020.~~2022, as well as Institutional Credit Strategies, driven by the one-time recovery of previously deferred subordinated management fees in the prior year and lower weighted-average management fee rates. We continue to issue new CLOs and reset older CLO vintages, which extends the duration of our AUM in Institutional Credit Strategies, but we have seen our average fee rate decline in these vehicles, bringing down management fees despite growth in AUM.

~~The increase~~Incentive income was $7.6 million for the third quarter of 2022 driven by realizations in Sculptor Real Estate Fund III.

Expenses were $100.3 million for the third quarter of 2022, up $4.3 million from the third quarter of 2021 driven by higher compensation and benefits expense and professional services expenses, these increases were partially offset by a decrease in occupancy expense due to a right-of-use asset impairment loss in the prior year period.

Other loss for the third quarter of 2022 increased compared to the third quarter of 2021, as a result of losses on investments and losses of consolidated entities, partially offset by lower fair value of warrant liabilities in the third quarter of 2022.

Please see the “Results of Operations” section of this MD&A for commentary regarding changes in net loss attributable to ~~Class A Shareholders~~noncontrolling interests and changes in the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest.

Economic Income was $5.7 million for the third quarter of ~~2021 was primarily due~~2022, compared to lower incentive income, higher general, administrative and other expenses which included a right-of-use asset impairment loss and write-off of associated fixed assets and leasehold improvements, change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, and lower gains on investments, partially offset by lower compensation and benefits expenses, higher management fees, and lower interest expense.

The decrease in net loss attributable to Class A Shareholders for the first nine months of 2021 was primarily due to legal provisions incurred in 2020, higher revenues, net gains on investments, lower salary and benefits expenses, lower professional services expenses, and lower equity-based compensation, partially offset by change in the fair value of warrant liabilities, higher income tax expense, losses on early retirement of debt, and higher bonus expense. Please see “—Results of Operations” for detailed discussion of the drivers of our results.

~~Economic Income was~~ $44.0 million for the third quarter of ~~2021, compared to $42.4~~2021. Economic Income was $67.5 million for the ~~third quarter~~first nine months of ~~2020. This increase was primarily due~~2022, compared to ~~higher management fees and lower compensation and benefits expenses, partially offset by lower incentive income.~~

~~Economic Income was~~ $160.1 million in the first nine months of ~~2021, compared to a loss of $39.5 million in the first nine months of 2020. This increase was~~2021. The decreases were primarily due to ~~legal provisions incurred in 2020,~~lower revenues, higher compensation and benefits expenses, due to higher carried interest profit-sharing linked to incentive income in our real estate funds, and ~~management fees, lower salaries~~higher general, administrative and ~~benefits expense, and lower professional services expenses, partially offset by higher bonus expense.~~other expenses.

Economic Income is a non-GAAP measure. For additional information regarding non-GAAP measures, as well as for a discussion of the drivers of the year-over-year change in Economic Income, please see “—Economic Income Analysis.”

~~Overview of Assets Under Management and Fund Performance~~

Assets under management totaled $37.5 billion as of September 30, 2021. Longer-dated assets under management, which are those subject to initial commitment periods of three years or longer, were $24.9 billion, comprising 66% of our total assets under management as of September 30, 2021. This amount excludes assets under management that had initial commitment periods of three years or longer and subsequently moved to shorter commitment periods at the end of their initial commitment period.

Assets under management in our multi-strategy funds totaled $11.5 billion as of September 30, 2021, increasing $1.5 billion, or 15%, year-over-year. This change was primarily driven by performance-related appreciation of $1.4 billion.

Sculptor Master Fund generated a gross return of 10.5% and a net return of 7.4% year-to-date through September 30, 2021. The fund profited predominately from positions within corporate credit, structured credit, and convertible and derivative arbitrage. Please see “—Assets Under Management and Fund Performance—Multi-Strategy Funds” for additional information regarding the returns of the Sculptor Master Fund.

Assets under management in our dedicated credit products totaled $21.7 billion as of September 30, 2021, increasing $337.7 million, or 2%, year-over-year. Assets under management in our opportunistic credit funds totaled $6.5 billion as of September 30, 2021, increasing $491.7 million, or 8%, year-over-year. This was driven by $1.1 billion of performance-related appreciation, partially offset by $579.5 million of net outflows, and $21.4 million of distributions in our closed-end opportunistic credit funds.

Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund, our global opportunistic credit fund, generated a gross return of 18.3% and a net return of 14.4% year-to-date through September��30, 2021. The fund continued to see contributions to performance from exposure added in the depths of the dislocation. Corporate credit led performance from additional positive developments across a variety of our largest process driven investments in both the U.S. and Europe. The portfolio benefited from the successful progression of a number of long-term restructurings where we had added to our exposure over the past year at and near pricing lows.

Assets under management in Institutional Credit Strategies totaled $15.1 billion as of September 30, 2021, decreasing $154.0 million, or 1%, year-over-year. This was driven primarily by the wind down and redemption of certain of our CLOs, and changes in underlying collateral value and distributions, partially offset by the launch of four CLOs.

Assets under management in our real estate funds totaled $4.3 billion as of September 30, 2021, decreasing $366.1 million, or 8%, year-over-year primarily due to $936.3 million of distributions and other reductions, primarily related to Sculptor Real Estate Credit Fund I and Sculptor Real Estate Fund III, as both of these funds’ respective investment periods have expired.

This was partially offset by $563.5 million of net inflows driven by the launch of several Sculptor Real Estate Fund IV co-investment vehicles and additional capital called into Sculptor Real Estate Credit Fund I. Since inception through September 30, 2021, the gross internal rate of return (“IRR”) was 28.0% and 18.6% net for Sculptor Real Estate Fund III (for which the investment period ended in September 2019). Since inception through September 30, 2021, the gross IRR was 17.8% and 12.3% net for Sculptor Real Estate Credit Fund I.

~~Assets Under Management and Fund~~Managing Business Performance

Our financial results are primarily driven by the combination of our ~~assets under management~~AUM and the investment performance of our funds. Both of these factors directly affect the revenues we earn from management fees and incentive income. Growth in ~~assets under management due to capital placed with us by investors~~AUM in our funds and positive investment performance of our funds drive growth in our revenues and earnings. Conversely, poor investment performance slows our growth by decreasing our ~~assets under management~~AUM and increasing the potential for redemptions from our funds, which would have a negative effect on our revenues and earnings.

We typically accept capital from new and existing investors in our multi-strategy and certain open-end opportunistic credit funds on a monthly basis on the first day of each month. Investors in these funds (other than with respect to capital invested in Special Investments) typically have the right to redeem their interests ~~in a fund~~either following an initial lock-up period of one to four ~~years.~~years, or on a quarterly basis for certain multi-strategy fund investors. Following the expiration of these lock-up periods, subject to certain limitations, investors may redeem capital generally on a quarterly, annual or ~~annual~~three-year basis upon giving 30 to 90 ~~days’~~days prior written notice. The lock-up requirements for our funds may generally be waived or modified at the sole discretion of each ~~fund’s~~funds’ general partner or board of directors, as applicable.

With respect to investors with quarterly redemption rights, requests for redemptions submitted during a quarter generally reduce ~~assets under management~~AUM on the first day of the following quarter. Accordingly, quarterly redemptions generally will have no impact on management fees during the quarter in which they are submitted. Instead, these redemptions will reduce management fees in the following quarter. With respect to investors with annual redemption rights, redemptions paid prior to the end of a quarter impact ~~assets under management~~AUM in the quarter in which they are paid, and therefore impact management fees for that quarter.

Investors in our closed-end credit funds, securitization vehicles, real estate and certain other funds are not able to redeem their investments. In those funds, investors generally make a commitment that is funded over an investment period (or at launch for our securitization vehicles). Upon the expiration of the investment period, the investments are then sold or realized over time, and distributions are made to the investors in the fund.

Information with respect to our ~~assets under management~~AUM throughout this report, including the tables set forth below, includes investments by us, our executive managing directors, employees and certain other related parties. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately 3% of our ~~assets under management~~AUM represented investments by us, our executive managing directors, employees and certain other related parties in our funds. As of that date, approximately ~~54%~~46% of these affiliated ~~assets under management~~AUM are not charged management fees and are not subject to an incentive income calculation. Additionally, to the extent that a fund is an investor in another fund or vehicle, we waive or rebate a corresponding portion of the management fees charged to the fund.

As further discussed below in “—Understanding Our Results—Revenues—Management Fees,” we generally calculate management fees based on ~~assets under management~~AUM as of the beginning of each quarter. The ~~assets under management~~AUM in the tables below are presented net of management fees and incentive income as of the end of the period. Accordingly, the ~~assets under management~~AUM presented in the tables below are not the amounts used to calculate management fees for the respective periods.

Appreciation (depreciation) in the tables below reflects the aggregate net capital appreciation (depreciation) for the entire period and is presented on a total return basis, net of all fees and expenses (except incentive income on Special Investments), and includes the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Management fees and incentive income vary by product.

_______________

(1)Includes transfers between Sculptor funds.

(2)Includes the effects of changes in the par value of the underlying collateral of the CLOs, foreign currency translation changes in the measurement of ~~assets under management~~AUM of our European CLOs and other funds, and changes in the portfolio appraisal value for aircraft securitization vehicles. For FP AUM, this also includes movements in or out of FP AUM.

AUM totaled $36.1 billion as of September 30, 2022. In the nine months ended September 30, 2022, AUM decreased by $1.9 billion, driven by performance-related depreciation of $1.9 billion, primarily from multi-strategy funds, a decrease of $522.3 million due to the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments on CLOs, and distributions and other reductions of $550.9 million, driven primarily by distributions from our real estate funds and CLOs. These decreases were partially offset by net inflows of $1.1 billion across Institutional Credit Strategies and real estate funds.

AUM net inflows of $1.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were comprised of (i) $2.2 billion of gross inflows, driven by $1.0 billion in Institutional Credit Strategies, from the launch of additional CLOs, $700.3 million in multi-strategy funds, $213.5 million in opportunistic credit funds due to the launch of STAX, and $233.0 million in real estate funds, driven by the launch of Real Estate Credit Fund II; and (ii) $1.0 billion of gross outflows due to redemptions, primarily in our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds. In 2022, excluding securitization vehicles within Institutional Credit Strategies, our largest sources of gross inflows were from high net worth and family offices, sovereign wealth and corporates, and pensions, while pensions, high net worth and family offices, and fund-of-funds were the largest source of gross outflows.

Distributions and other reductions of $550.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, were driven primarily by $222.0 million of distributions from our real estate funds as a result of realizations, $214.9 million of distributions from Institutional Credit Strategies as a result of paydowns in certain of our CLOs, and a $114.0 million reduction in opportunistic credit funds related to the expiration of the investment period of a closed-end fund.

As of November 1, 2022, estimated AUM decreased to $35.7 billion, driven by $311.0 million of net outflows, primarily in multi-strategy funds, as well as $160.2 million of distributions and other reductions as a result of distributions in certain of our real estate funds and CLOs. These decreases were partially offset by $60.0 million of performance-related appreciation, primarily in multi-strategy funds.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, assets under management increased by $660.2 million, driven by performance-related appreciation of $1.6 billion, net inflows of $1.6 billion, distributions and other reductions of $2.0 billion, and a decrease of $448.4 million primarily due to the effects of changes in par value of underlying collateral of the CLOs. The net inflows were comprised of (i) $2.9 billion of gross inflows, driven by $1.5 billion in Institutional Credit Strategies, due to the launch of additional CLOs, $956.5 million in multi-strategy funds, primarily driven by inflows into the Sculptor Master Fund, and $456.7 million in real estate funds, primarily due to the launch of several Sculptor Real Estate Fund IV co-investment vehicles; and (ii) $1.3 billion of gross outflows due to redemptions, primarily in our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds. Distributions and other reductions of $2.0 billion were driven primarily by $1.6 billion of distributions from Institutional Credit Strategies as a result of ~~the~~a wind down and redemption of certain of our CLOs, and $431.1 million of distributions from our real estate funds, as a result of realizations in our real estate funds. In 2021, excluding securitization vehicles within Institutional Credit Strategies, our largest sources of gross inflows were from high net worth and family offices, sovereign wealth and corporates, and pensions, while pensions and fund-of-funds were the largest source of gross outflows.

For FP AUM, this also includes movements in or out of FP AUM.

FP AUM totaled $29.4 billion as of September 30, 2022. FP AUM is lower than AUM primarily due to:

•Amounts held by our employees or other related parties who do not pay fees in our ~~CLOs~~multi-strategy funds, opportunistic credit funds, and ~~a wind down of one of our CLOs, as well as $69.0 million of net outflows. These decreases were partially offset by $243.9 million of performance-related appreciation.~~real estate funds

•Uncalled capital for funds where we do not earn management fees until it is invested for our opportunistic credit funds and real estate funds; and

•Fee rebates when our funds invest in the equity of CLOs in Institutional Credit Strategies, in addition to the AUM associated with the structured alternative investment solution, which becomes FP AUM once it is invested in our funds. Refer to the “Institutional Credit Strategies” section below for further details.

In the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020, assets under management increased~~2022, FP AUM decreased by ~~$1.5 billion. Our funds experienced performance-related appreciation~~$2.3 billion, driven largely by the drivers discussed in the Summary of ~~$915.1 million and net inflows~~Changes in AUM section above. FP AUM as a percentage of ~~$1.7 billion. The net inflows were comprised of (i) $2.8 billion of gross inflows, driven by $1.4 billion in real estate funds, primarily~~AUM decreased during the period due to ~~additional closes~~an increase in the amount of ~~Sculptor Real Estate Fund IV, $641.3 million in opportunistic credit~~CLO equity held by our funds; the related management fee is rebated to the funds and $436.9 million in Institutional Credit Strategies, primarily driven by a launch of an aircraft securitization vehicle; and (ii) $1.0 billion of gross outflows due to redemptions, primarily in our multi-strategy and open-ended credit funds. Additionally, our funds experienced distributions and other reductions of $1.1 billion, driven primarily by Institutional Credit Strategies,the AUM is then treated as there was a decrease in the number of aircraft serving as collateral in certain of our aircraft securitization vehicles for which we act as collateral manager. In 2020, excluding securitization vehicles within Institutional Credit Strategies, our largest sources of gross inflows were from corporate and other institutions, pensions, and private banks, while pensions were the largest source of gross outflows.

Fund Performance Information

The tables below present performance information for the funds we manage. The return information presented represents, where applicable, the composite performance of all feeder funds that comprise each of the master funds presented. Gross return information is generally calculated using the total return of all feeder funds, net of all fees and expenses except management fees and incentive income of such feeder funds and master funds, and the returns of each feeder fund include the

reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Net return information is generally calculated as the gross returns less management fees and incentive income. Return information that includes Special Investments excludes incentive income on unrealized gains attributable to such investments, which could reduce returns at the time of realization. Special Investments and initial public offering investments are not allocated to all investors in the funds, and investors that were not allocated Special Investments and initial public offering investments may experience materially different returns.

The performance information presented in this ~~report~~“Fund Performance Information” section is not indicative of the performance of our Class A Shares and is not necessarily indicative of the future results of any particular fund, including the accrued unrecognized amounts of incentive income. An investment in our Class A Shares is not an investment in any of our funds. There can be no assurance that any of our existing or future funds will achieve similar results. The timing and amount of incentive income generated from our funds are inherently uncertain. Incentive income is a function of investment performance and realizations of investments, which vary period-to-period based on market conditions and other factors. We cannot predict when, or if, any realization of investments will occur. Incentive income recognized for any particular period is not a reliable indicator of incentive income that may be earned in subsequent periods.

The return information presented represents, where applicable, the composite performance of all feeder funds that comprise each of the master funds presented. Gross return information is generally calculated using the total return of all feeder funds, net of all fees and expenses except management fees and incentive income of such feeder funds and master funds and the returns of each feeder fund include the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. Net return information is generally calculated as the gross returns less management fees and incentive income. Return information that includes Special Investments excludes incentive income on unrealized gains attributable to such investments, which could reduce returns at the time of realization. Special Investments and initial public offering investments are not allocated to all investors in the funds, and investors that were not allocated Special Investments and initial public offering investments may experience materially different returns.

Multi-Strategy Funds

~~Sculptor’s~~Our multi-strategy funds invest globally in high-conviction investment ideas across asset classes, regions and investment ~~strategies. Our~~strategies with a primary focus is on idiosyncratic opportunities where return drivers are less sensitive to direction of broader financial markets and which tend to arise when value is obscured by attributes such as complexity, corporate actions, market ~~direction.~~dislocations, or investor misunderstandings. Additionally, we have the flexibility to take on market-directional risk when we believe that broad market dislocations have created asymmetric upside/downside potential.

The table below presents ~~assets under management~~AUM and investment performance for our multi-strategy funds. ~~Assets under management~~AUM are generally based on the net asset value of these ~~products.~~funds plus any unfunded commitments, if applicable. Management fees generally range from 1.00% to 2.00% annually of ~~assets under management.~~FP AUM. For the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, our multi-strategy funds had an average management fee rate of ~~1.26%.~~1.25% of FP AUM.

We generally crystallize incentive income from the majority of our multi-strategy funds on an annual basis. Incentive income is generally equal to 20% of the realized and unrealized profits attributable to each investor. A portion of the ~~assets under management~~AUM in each of the Sculptor Master Fund and our other multi-strategy funds is subject to initial commitment periods of three years, and for certain of these assets, we only earn incentive income once profits attributable to an investor exceed a preferential return, or “hurdle rate,” which is generally equal to the 3-month T-bill rate for our multi-strategy funds. Once the investment performance has exceeded the hurdle rate for these assets, we may receive a “catch-up” allocation, resulting in a

potential recognition by us of a full 20% of the net profits attributable to investors in these ~~assets.~~assets upon crystallization at the end of the multi-year commitment period.

(1)The returns for the Sculptor Master Fund exclude Special Investments. Special Investments in the Sculptor Master Fund are held by investors representing a small percentage of ~~assets under management~~AUM in the fund. Inclusive of these Special Investments, the returns of the Sculptor Master Fund for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~10.9%~~-13.3% gross and ~~7.9%~~-14.2% net, for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020~~2021 were ~~15.8%~~10.9% gross and ~~11.6%~~7.9% net, and annualized since inception through September 30, ~~2021~~2022 were ~~16.5%~~15.2% gross and ~~11.5%~~10.4% net.

(2)In the third quarter of 2022, we consolidated Sculptor Enhanced Master Fund into the Sculptor Master Fund, as a result we show the related historical AUM in Other funds and prospectively will include the AUM and returns associated with the Sculptor Enhanced Master Fund in the Sculptor Master Fund.

(3)The annualized returns since inception are those of the Sculptor Multi-Strategy Composite, which represents the composite performance of all accounts that were managed in accordance with our broad multi-strategy mandate that were not subject to portfolio investment restrictions or other factors that limited our investment discretion since inception on April 1, 1994. Performance is calculated using the total return of all such accounts net of all investment fees and expenses of such accounts, and the returns include the reinvestment of all dividends and other income. The performance calculation for the Sculptor Master Fund excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses attributable to currency hedging specific to certain investors investing in Sculptor Master Fund in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. For the period from April 1, 1994 through December 31, 1997, the returns are gross of certain overhead expenses that were reimbursed by the accounts. Such reimbursement arrangements were terminated at the inception of the Sculptor Master Fund on January 1, 1998. The size of the accounts comprising the composite during the time period shown vary materially. Such differences impacted our investment decisions and the diversity of the investment strategies followed. Furthermore, the composition of the investment strategies we follow is subject to our discretion, has varied materially since inception and is expected to vary materially in the future. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, the annualized returns since the Sculptor Master Fund’s inception on January 1, 1998 were ~~13.6%~~12.3% gross and ~~9.3%~~8.1% net excluding Special Investments and ~~13.3%~~12.0% gross and ~~9.1%~~7.9% net inclusive of Special Investments.

~~Assets under management~~AUM in our multi-strategy funds ~~increased $1.5~~decreased by $2.1 billion, or ~~15%~~18%, ~~year-over-year,~~year-over-year. This was driven primarily ~~due~~by $2.0 billion of performance-related depreciation, as well as $110.6 million of net outflows.

During the quarter, the Sculptor Master Fund significantly outperformed broader equity markets, allowing the year to ~~performance-related appreciation~~date performance to capture only a fraction of ~~$1.4 billion.~~market downside and delivering on investor expectations. In ~~2021,~~the first nine months of 2022, the Sculptor Master Fund generated a gross return of -13.3% and a net return of -14.2%.

In the first nine months of 2021, the Sculptor Master Fund generated a gross return of 10.5% and a net return of 7.4%. The fund profited predominately from positions within corporate credit, structured credit, and convertible and derivative arbitrage.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Sculptor Master Fund generated a gross return of 16.8% and a net return of 12.4%. Our active repositioning of the portfolio and capital deployment through the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second and third quarter of 2020, was instrumental in driving returns. All of Sculptor Master Fund’s strategies have generated positive performance during the period.

Opportunistic Credit Funds

Our opportunistic credit funds seek to generate risk-adjusted returns by capturing value in mispriced investments across disrupted, dislocated and distressed corporate, structured and private credit markets globally.

~~Certain~~Within our Opportunistic Credit strategy, we manage open-ended and closed-ended funds on behalf of investors. In our ~~opportunistic credit~~open-ended funds, ~~are open-end and~~we allow for contributions and redemptions (subject to initial lock-up and notice periods) on a periodic basis, similar to our multi-strategy funds. ~~Our remaining opportunistic credit~~In our closed-ended funds, ~~are closed-end, whereby~~ investors ~~make a commitment~~commit capital that is funded over an investment period. Upon the expiration of anthe investment period, the investments are then sold or realized over a period of time, and distributions are made to the investors in the fund.

~~Assets under management~~AUM for our opportunistic credit funds are generally based on the net asset value of those funds plus any unfunded ~~commitments.~~commitments, if applicable. Management fees for our opportunistic credit funds generally range from 0.75% to 1.75% annually of the net asset value of these funds. For the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, our opportunistic credit funds had an average management fee rate of ~~0.82%.~~0.90% of FP AUM.

The table below presents ~~assets under management~~AUM and investment performance information for certain of our opportunistic credit funds. Incentive income related to these funds (excluding the closed-end opportunistic fund, which is explained further below) is generally equal to 20% of realized and unrealized profits attributable to each investor, and a portion of these ~~assets under management~~AUM is subject to hurdle rates, which are generally 5% to 8% for our open-end opportunistic credit funds. Once the cumulative investment performance has exceeded the hurdle rate, we ~~may~~typically receive a “catch-up” allocation, resulting in athe potential recognition by us of a full 20% of the net profits attributable to investors in these funds. The measurement periods for these ~~assets under management~~AUM generally range from one to five years.

We generally crystallize incentive income from our opportunistic credit funds at the end of a multi-year measurement period. This results in a timing difference between when we can recognize incentive income and when we accrue the associated discretionary bonus expense. Incentive income accrued at the fund level that cannot yet be recognized drives an increase in our ABURI balance. Compensation expense related to ABURI generated from our opportunistic credit funds is generally recognized in the fourth quarter of the year the underlying fund performance is generated which may not occur at the same time that the related revenues are recognized by us.

~~Assets under management~~AUM in our opportunistic credit funds ~~increased~~decreased by ~~$491.7~~$543.9 million, or 8%, year-over-year. This was driven primarily ~~by $1.1 billion of performance-related appreciation, partially offset by $579.5~~by: (i) $328.0 million of net ~~outflows.~~outflows and transfers, primarily in the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund; (ii) distributions and other reductions of $134.9 million primarily related to the expiration of the investment period of a closed-end fund; and (iii) $81.0 million of performance-related depreciation. We continue to raise capital for STAX and held a second closing on July 1 with $250.0 million, a portion of which was transferred from the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund, bringing total committed capital to $370.0 million. We plan to hold additional closes throughout the year and have seen previous periods of market volatility act as a catalyst for capital raising in these types of strategies.

In the first nine months of 2022, the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund delivered strong results, generating significant outperformance as compared to relevant credit indices and benchmarks during the quarter, and extending their exceptional year-to-date returns relative to the overall market. The fund generated a gross return of -3.3% and a net return of -3.9%, as compared to BAML Global High Yield of -18.9% and HFRX Fixed Income Credit Index -13.8% for the first nine months of 2022. In 2022, the fund experienced losses in corporate credit and experienced gains in structured credit.

In the first nine months of 2021, the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund ~~our global opportunistic credit fund,~~ generated a gross return of 18.3% and a net return of 14.4%. The fund continued to see contributions to performance from exposure added in the depths of the dislocation. Corporate credit led performance from additional positive ~~developments~~development across a variety of our largest process driven investments in both the U.S. and Europe. The portfolio benefited from the successful progression of a number of long-term restructurings where we had added to our exposure over the past year at and near pricing lows.

In the first nine months of 2020, the Sculptor Credit Opportunities Master Fund, our global opportunistic credit fund, generated a gross return of -5.6% and a net return of -7.5%. The negative returns were primarily driven by the corporate credit

~~strategies, partially offset by positive performance in structured credit.~~

Our Customized Credit Focused Platform invests in a flexible credit mandate across the credit spectrum to allow timely investments as market conditions change and dislocate. The table below presents investment performance for the fund.

(1)Performance presented is for the opportunistic credit strategies in the Customized Credit Focused Platform. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, approximately 95% of the invested capital in the Customized Credit Focused Platform is invested in the Platform’s opportunistic credit strategies.

(2)Weighted Average Returns reflect the total profit & loss divided by the weighted average capital base, which represents net asset value plus net contributions (distributions) for the period.

(3)Gross IRR represents estimated, unaudited, annualized pre-tax returns based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows for each investment. It is calculated in the same manner as Net IRR, however, it does not reflect adjustments to cash flows related to incentive income, management fees and the applicable fund expenses. Gross IRR represents the estimated, unaudited, annualized pre-tax return based on the actual and/or projected timing of cash inflows from, and outflows to, investors for each investment (irrespective of any funding from a credit facility or other third-party financing source used by the Customized Credit Focused Platform). In certain cases, funding from a credit facility or other third party financing source was initially used by the Customized Credit Focused Platform to acquire an investment or pay certain expenses, which may have the effect of increasing the Gross IRR above that which would have been presented, had drawdowns from limited partners been initially used to acquire the investment or pay such expenses. Gross IRR includes the effect of investment hedges as determined by ~~the Company.~~us. There can be no assurance that an appropriate hedge will be identified for each investment or that an appropriate hedge will be available for all investments.

(4)Net IRR is the Gross IRR adjusted to reflect actual management fees, incentive income and expenses incurred by the Customized Credit Focused Platform.

(5)Net ~~Invested Capital Multiple: Given~~invested capital multiple measures the current net asset value over the net invested capital, where net invested capital represents cumulative contributions less cumulative distributions. The Customized Credit Focused Platform has an active liquid investment program, a key element of which includes ramping up and ramping down depending on market ~~conditions - much~~conditions.

Our closed-end opportunistic credit funds follow a European-style waterfall, whereby incentive income may be paid to us only after a fund investor receives distributions in excess of their total contributed capital and a preferential return, which is generally 6% to 8%. Incentive income related to these funds is generally equal to 20% of the cumulative realized profits in excess of the preferential return attributable to each investor over the life of the fund. Once the investment performance has exceeded the preferential return, we ~~may~~typically receive a “catch-up” allocation, resulting in a potential recognition by us of a full 20% of the net profits attributable to investors in these funds. These funds have concluded their investment periods, and therefore we expect ~~assets under management~~AUM for these funds to decrease as investments are sold and the related proceeds are distributed to the investors in these funds.

Institutional Credit Strategies

Institutional Credit Strategies is our asset management platform that invests in performing credits, including leveraged loans, high-yield bonds, private credit/bespoke financing and investment grade credit via CLOs, aircraft securitization vehicles, CBOs and other customized solutions for clients.

~~Assets under management~~AUM for Institutional Credit Strategies are generally based on the amount of equity outstanding for CLOs and CBOs (during the warehouse period), the par value of the collateral assets and cash held for CLOs and ~~CBO,~~CBOs (after the warehouse period), and adjusted portfolio appraisal values for ~~our~~the aircraft collateral within the securitization vehicles. AUM also includes the net asset value of other investment vehicles within the strategy. However, ~~assets under management~~AUM are reduced for any investments in ~~these~~CLOs and securitization vehicles held by our other ~~funds to avoid double counting these assets.~~funds. Management fees for Institutional Credit Strategies generally range from 0.25% to 0.50% annually of ~~assets under management.~~AUM. For the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, Institutional Credit Strategies had an average management fee rate of ~~0.42% gross~~0.39% net of rebates on cross-investments from other funds we ~~manage (0.32% net~~manage.

Given market pressures, average fee rates in our Institutional Credit Strategies business decreased in line with the broader market trends. We continue to issue new CLOs and reset older CLO vintages, which extends the duration of ~~such rebates). These average rates exclude the net impact of deferred subordinated management fees.~~our AUM and we believe may lead to enhanced returns to our investors.

Incentive income from our CLOs and CBO is generally equal to 20% of the excess cash flows due to the holders of the subordinated notes issued by the CLOs and CBO and is generally subject to a 12% hurdle rate. Because of the hurdle rate and structure of our CLOs and CBO, we do not expect to earn a meaningful amount of incentive income from these entities, and therefore no return information is presented for these vehicles. We do not earn incentive income from our aircraft securitization vehicles.

During the first quarter of 2022, we closed on a $350.0 million structured alternative investment solution, which was tailored to meet the needs of insurance investors. The financing vehicle issued senior and subordinated notes to investors and used those proceeds to invest in a diversified portfolio of funds managed by us. Prior to investing in the portfolio of funds, the AUM is included within Institutional Credit Strategies. Upon investment in the funds, which began during April 2022, we earn management and incentive fees based on the terms of the underlying funds in which the vehicle invests and the associated AUM is included in those funds.

Real Estate Funds

Our real estate funds generally make investments in commercial and residential real estate, including real property, multi-property portfolios, real estate-related joint ventures, real estate operating companies and other real estate-related assets. We seek to build portfolios that are balanced between traditional and non-traditional asset classes, employing moderate leverage, using creative structures and targeting high cash-on-cash returns.

~~Assets under management~~AUM for our real estate funds are generally based on the amount of capital committed by our fund investors during the investment period and the amount of actual capital invested for periods following the investment period. ~~However, assets under management~~AUM are reduced for unfunded commitments ~~by our executive managing directors~~ that will be funded through transfers from other ~~funds~~funds. AUM for the SPAC sponsored by us includes the proceeds raised in ~~order to avoid double counting these assets.~~the initial public offering that are currently invested in U.S. Treasury bills and held in a trust for use in a business combination. The SPAC AUM is non-fee paying, and our AUM will be reduced if and when the SPAC undergoes a business combination or in the event of its liquidation. Management fees for our real estate funds, exclusive of co-investment vehicles, generally range from ~~0.50%~~0.75% to 1.50% annually of ~~assets under management,~~FP AUM, however, management fees for Sculptor Real Estate Credit Fund I are based on invested capital both during and after the investment period. For the third quarter of ~~2021,~~2022, our real estate funds, inclusive of co-investment vehicles, had an average management fee rate of ~~0.79%.~~0.87% of FP AUM.

The tables below present ~~assets under management,~~AUM, investment performance and other information for our real estate funds. The amounts included within ~~“other~~“co-investment and other funds” below mainly relate to co-investment ~~vehicles.~~ vehicles in which we partner with clients on investment opportunities, typically with lower fees.

Our real estate funds generally follow an American-style waterfall, whereby incentive income may be paid to us after a fund investment is realized if a fund investor receives distributions in excess of the capital contributed for such investment, as well as a preferential return on such investment, which is generally 6% to 10%. Upon each subsequent realization, incentive income, which is generally 20% of realized profits, is recalculated based on the cumulative realized profits in excess of the preferential return attributable to each investor over the life of the fund. Once the investment performance has exceeded the preferential rate, we may receive a “catch-up” allocation, resulting in a potential recognition by us of a full 20% of the realized net profits attributable to investors in these funds.

In addition, we recognize incentive income on our real estate funds related to certain tax distributions on realizations at the fund level. Realizations at the fund level may give rise to tax liabilities for our investors and us. Funds distribute capital back to us to cover these tax liabilities and this in turn drives the recognition of tax distribution-related incentive income. In addition, incentive income is recognized as investments are sold and related distributions are made to investors and us. Due to the recalculation of cumulative realized profits upon each realization, the fund may clawback incentive income previously paid to us. As a result, we record incentive income paid to us by the real estate funds as unearned revenue in our consolidated balance sheets until the criteria for revenue recognition has been ~~met.~~met as we have received cash before we can recognize the revenue.

For additional information on incentive income accrued at fund level for our real estate, as well as other funds, see “Longer-Term AUM and Accrued Unrecognized Incentive Income” for additional information.

For funds that have concluded their investment periods, we expect ~~assets under management~~AUM to decrease as investments are sold and the related proceeds are distributed to the investors in these funds.

(1)An investment is considered partially realized when the total amount of proceeds received, including dividends, interest or other distributions of income and return of capital, represents at least 50% of invested capital.

(2)Invested capital represents total aggregate contributions made for investments by the fund.

(3)Total value represents the sum of realized distributions and the fair value of unrealized and partially realized investments as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022. Total value will be impacted (either positively or negatively) by future economic and other factors. Accordingly, the total value ultimately realized will likely be higher or lower than the amounts presented as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

(4)Gross IRR for our real estate funds represents the estimated, unaudited, annualized return based on the timing of cash inflows and outflows for the aggregated investments as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, including the fair value of unrealized and partially realized investments as of such date, together with any

unrealized appreciation or depreciation from related hedging activity. Gross IRR is not adjusted for estimated management fees, incentive income or other fees or expenses to be paid by the fund, which would reduce the return.

(5)Net IRR is calculated as described in footnote (4), but is reduced by management fees and other fund-level fees and expenses not adjusted for in the calculation of gross IRR. Net IRR is further reduced by paid incentive and accrued incentive income that will be payable upon the distribution of each fund’s capital in accordance with the terms of the relevant fund. Accrued incentive income may be higher or lower at such time. The net IRR represents a composite rate of return for a fund and does not reflect the net IRR specific to any individual investor.

(6)Gross MOIC for our real estate funds is calculated by dividing the value of a fund’s investments by the invested capital, prior to adjustments for incentive income, management fees or other expenses to be paid by the fund.

(7)~~This fund has~~These funds have invested less than half of ~~its~~their committed capital; therefore, IRR and MOIC information is not presented, as it is not meaningful.

Incentive income on these assets, if any, is based on the cumulative investment performance generated over this commitment period. These amounts may ultimately not be recognized as revenue by us in the event of future losses in the respective funds. See “—Understanding Our Results—Revenues—Incentive Income” for additional information.

Our longer-term AUM has continued to increase over time, as our product mix continues to shift toward longer-duration products. Longer-term AUM has increased from 26% in 2013 to 45% in 2016 to 72% as of September 30, 2022, driven by growth in opportunistic credit, Institutional Credit Strategies and real estate funds. During the first quarter, longer-term AUM increased from the launch of a structured alternative investment solution, which was tailored to insurance investors and provides exposure to our funds across the platform in a long-dated format. Longer-term AUM creates stability in our platform and provides more consistency in our management fee earnings.

Incentive income, if any, on our longer-term AUM is based on the cumulative investment performance generated ~~an additional $146.0~~over the respective commitment period. As of September 30, 2022, our ABURI was $194.3 million, down $32.5 million in the first nine months of 2022 primarily from the crystallization of ABURI into incentive income. In real estate, we generated $67.9 million of performance for the year which was largely crystallized during the period. During the first nine months of the year, the opportunistic credit funds reversed $32.2 million of previously accrued ~~unrecognized incentive income~~ABURI due to ~~our strong fund performance and recognized $21.6 million of incentive income in the the period.~~performance.

Our ~~accrued unrecognized incentive income (“ABURI”)~~ABURI from longer-term ~~assets under management~~AUM generally comprise the following:

•Multi-strategy funds. Multi-strategy ABURI is derived from clients in the three-year liquidity tranche, where incentive income other than tax distributions will be recognized at the end of each client’s three-year period.

•Opportunistic credit funds. Opportunistic credit funds ABURI is derived from three sources:

◦Clients in the three-year and four-year liquidity tranches of an open-end opportunistic credit fund, where incentive income other than tax distributions will be recognized at the end of each client’s three-year or four-year ~~period~~period.

◦~~Long dated~~Long-dated closed-end opportunistic credit funds, where incentive income ~~other than tax distributions~~ will be recognized during each fund’s harvest period after invested capital and a preferred return has been distributed to the clients, other than tax distributions.

◦The Customized Credit Focused Platform, where incentive income ~~other than tax distributions~~ is recognized at the end of a multi-year term; previously crystallized on December 31, 2020, other than tax distributions.

•Real estate funds. Real Estate ABURI is derived from long-dated real estate funds, where incentive income ~~other than tax distributions~~ will start to be recognized following the completion of each fund’s investment period as investments are realized and after invested capital and a preferred return has been distributed to the ~~clients.~~clients other than tax distributions.

Compensation expense relating to ABURI generated from our multi-strategy funds and opportunistic credit funds is generally recognized in the fourth quarter of the year the underlying fund performance is generated which may not occur at the same time that the related revenues are generated.

Understanding Our Results

Revenues

Our operations historically have been financed primarily by cash flows generated by our business. Our principal sources of revenues are management fees and incentive income. For any given period, our revenues are influenced by the amount of our ~~assets under management,~~AUM, the investment performance of our funds and the timing of when we recognize incentive income for certain ~~assets under management~~AUM as discussed below.

The ability of investors to contribute capital to and redeem capital from our funds causes our ~~assets under management~~AUM to fluctuate from period to period. Fluctuations in ~~assets under management~~AUM also result from our funds’ investment performance. Both of these factors directly impact the revenues we earn from management fees and incentive income. For example, a $1.0 billion increase or decrease in ~~assets under management~~AUM subject to a 1% management fee would generally increase or decrease annual management fees by $10.0 million. If profits, net of management fees, attributable to a fee-paying fund investor were $10.0 million in a given year, we generally would earn incentive income equal to $2.0 million, assuming a 20% incentive income rate, a one-year commitment period, no hurdle rate and no high-water marks from prior years.

For any given quarter, our revenues are influenced by the combination of ~~assets under management~~AUM and the investment performance of our funds. For example, incentive income for the majority of our multi-strategy ~~assets under management~~AUM is recognized in the fourth quarter each year, based on full year investment performance.

Management Fees. Management fees are generally calculated and paid to us on a quarterly basis in advance, based on the amount of ~~assets under management~~AUM at the beginning of the quarter. Management fees are prorated for capital inflows and redemptions during the quarter. Accordingly, changes in our management fee revenues from quarter to quarter are driven by changes in the quarterly opening balances of ~~assets under management,~~AUM, the relative magnitude and timing of inflows and redemptions during the respective quarter, the impact of differing management fee rates charged on those inflows and redemptions, as well as the impact of the deferral of subordinated management fees from certain CLOs. See “—Weighted-Average ~~Assets Under Management~~FP AUM and Average Management Fee Rates” for information on our average management fee rate and Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report for additional information regarding management fees.

Incentive Income. We earn incentive income based on the cumulative performance of our funds over a commitment period. We recognize incentive income when such amounts are probable of not significantly reversing. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report for additional information regarding incentive income.

Other Revenues. Other revenues consist primarily of interest income on investments in CLOs, cash equivalents and long-term U.S. government obligations, as well as subrental income. Interest income is recognized on an effective yield basis. Subrental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Income of Consolidated Entities

Revenues recorded as income of consolidated entities consist primarily of interest income, dividends income, fees and other income.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits. Compensation and benefits consist of salaries, employee benefits, payroll taxes, and discretionary and guaranteed cash bonus expenses. We generally recognize compensation and benefits expenses over the related service period.

On an annual basis, compensation and benefits comprise a significant portion of total expenses, with discretionary cash bonuses generally comprising a significant portion of total compensation and benefits. We accrue minimum annual discretionary cash bonuses on a straight-line basis during the year. The total amount of discretionary cash bonuses ultimately recognized for the full year, which is determined in the fourth quarter of each year, could differ materially from the minimum amount accrued, as the total discretionary cash bonus is dependent upon a variety of factors, including fund performance for the year.

Due to multi-year crystallizations in our credit and real estate funds, we may recognize discretionary bonus expense as incentive is generated at the fund level but before we recognize the related incentive income. For additional information on incentive income recognized at fund level but not yet recognized by us see “—Longer-Term AUM and Accrued Unrecognized Incentive Income” for additional information. We generally pay our bonuses in January of the year following the year in which bonuses were accrued.

Compensation and benefits also include equity-based compensation expense, which is primarily in the form of RSUs granted to our independent board members, employees and executive managing directors, as well as RSAs, PSUs and Partner Equity Units granted to executive managing directors. These awards are structured to create strong alignment of economic interest between our executives and shareholders, in addition to retaining key talent.

We also have profit-sharing arrangements whereby certain employees or executive managing directors are entitled to a share of incentive income that we earn primarily from ~~certain~~our real estate funds. This incentive income is typically paid to us and then we pay a portion to the profit-sharing participant as investments held by these funds are realized. To the extent that the payments to the employees or executive managing directors are probable and reasonably estimable, we accrue these payments as compensation expense for GAAP purposes, which may occur prior to the recognition of the related incentive income.

Deferred cash interests (“DCIs”) are also granted to certain employees and executive managing directors as a form of compensation. DCIs reflect notional fund investments made by us on behalf of an employee or executive managing director. DCIs generally vest over a three-year period, subject to an employee’s or executive managing director’s continued service. Upon vesting, we pay the employee or executive managing director an amount in cash equal to the notional investment represented by the DCIs, as adjusted for notional fund performance. Except as otherwise provided in the relevant DCI plan or in an award agreement, in the event of a termination of the employee’s or executive managing director’s service, any portion of the DCIs that is unvested as of the date of termination will be forfeited. These awards are designed to create strong alignment of economic interest between our executives and fund investors, in addition to retaining key talent.

Sculptor’s compensation structure is designed to align the interests of our executive managing directors and employees with those of investors in our funds and our Class A Shareholders. Our compensation structure focuses on both individual and firm-wide performance through bonus compensation in a combination of equity and deferred cash interests that vest over time.

Interest Expense. Amounts included within interest expense relate primarily to indebtedness outstanding. ~~See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Financing Arrangements” for additional information.~~

General, Administrative and Other. General, administrative and other expenses are comprised of professional services, occupancy and equipment, information processing and communications, recurring placement and related service fees, business

development, insurance, impairment of right-of-use lease assets, foreign currency transaction gains and losses, and other miscellaneous expenses. Legal settlements and provisions are also included within general, administrative and other.

Expenses of Consolidated Entities. Expenses recorded as expenses of consolidated entities consist of interest expense, general, administrative and other miscellaneous expenses.

Other ~~(Loss) Income~~Loss

Changes in Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities. Changes in fair value of warrant liabilities represent gains (losses) from changes in fair value of warrants.

Changes in Tax Receivable Agreement Liability. Changes in tax receivable agreement liability consists of changes in our estimate of the future payments related to the tax receivable agreement that result from changes in future income tax savings due to changes in tax rates. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

Net Losses on Retirement of Debt. Net losses on retirement of debt consist of net losses realized upon the retirement of any indebtedness outstanding, and include the write-off of unamortized debt discounts and issuance costs, as well as other fees incurred in connection with the retirement of debt.

Net (Losses) Gains on Investments. Net (losses) gains on investments primarily consist of realized and unrealized net gains and losses on investments in U.S. government obligations and investments in our funds, including ~~investments in U.S. government obligations,~~ CLOs and other funds we manage.

~~Changes~~Net Losses of Consolidated Entities. Net losses of consolidated entities primarily consist of changes in ~~Fair Value of Warrant Liabilities.~~ ~~Changes in~~the fair value of warrant liabilities ~~represent~~related to our consolidated SPAC and gains (losses) ~~from~~on investments held by consolidated entities, as well as changes in the fair value of the ~~warrants.~~structured alternative investment solution’s assets and liabilities and related interest and other income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes consist of our provision for federal, state and local income taxes in the U.S. and foreign income taxes, including provisions for deferred income taxes resulting from temporary differences between the tax and GAAP bases. The computation of the provision requires certain estimates and significant judgment, including, but not limited to, the expected taxable income for the year, projections of the proportion of income earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent differences between the tax and GAAP bases and the likelihood of being able to fully utilize deferred income tax assets existing as of the end of the period.

The Sculptor Operating Partnerships are partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Registrant was a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes until the Corporate Classification Change on April 1, 2019. Prior to the Corporate Classification Change, only a portion of the income we earned was subject to corporate-level income taxes in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Following the Corporate Classification Change, generally all of the income allocated to the Registrant from the Sculptor Operating Group will be subject to corporate-level income taxes in the U.S. See Note 12 for additional information regarding significant items impacting our income tax provision and effective tax rate.

Net ~~(Loss) Income~~Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests represent ownership interests in our subsidiaries held by parties other than us and are primarily made up of Group A Units. Increases or decreases in net (loss) income attributable to the Group A Units are driven by the earnings of the Sculptor Operating Group. See Note 3 for additional information regarding our ownership interest in the Sculptor Operating Group.

In 2021, we consolidated our SPAC, wherein investors are able to redeem Class A shares issued by the SPAC. Allocations of earnings to these shares are reflected within net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the consolidated statements of operations. Increases or decreases in the net income (loss) attributable to SPAC investors’ interests in the SPAC is driven primarily by interest income generated on investments in U.S. Treasury bills, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities of the SPAC and various expenses related to legal costs, business development and insurance.

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased by $14.1 million for the quarter-to-date period and increased $22.9 million for the year-to date period. This was primarily driven by:

•Equity-based compensation expenses increased by $9.8 million and $12.6 million for the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily due to the following:

◦A ~~$13.2~~$12.0 million increase for the quarter-to-date period and a $34.9 million increase for the year-to-date period in amortization related to RSAs and Group P Units, which were granted in the fourth quarter of 2021 and the first quarter of 2022.

◦Decrease in stock-based compensation related to RSUs and PSUs of $16.0 million, primarily due to the separation-related costs incurred in the prior year period for a departing executive.

•Bonus expense increased by $3.0 million and $7.3 million for the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in real estate incentive income profit sharing expense driven by realizations in Sculptor Real Estate Fund III and income generated at the fund level by Real Estate Credit Fund I. For the year-to-date period, this was partially offset by separation-related compensation incurred in the first half of 2021 for a departing executive.

•Salaries and benefits increased by $1.2 million for the quarter-to-date period and $3.0 million for the year-to-date period, as our worldwide headcount increased to 342 as of September 30, 2022, from 336 as of September 30, 2021. The year-to-date increase was also driven by an $818 thousand decrease in the amount of internal use software implementation costs that were capitalized year-over-year.

Interest Expense

A $1.7 million decrease in interest expense for the year-to-date period, primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balance as we repaid $224.4 million under the 2020 Term Loan in 2021. Interest expense remained relatively flat year-over-year for the quarter-to-date period.

General, Administrative and Other Expenses

$11.4 million and $10.0 million decreases in general, administrative and other ~~expense~~expenses for the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily ~~driven by a $13.3 million increase in occupancy and equipment expense, driven by~~due to the recognition of an $11.2 million impairment loss on a right-of-use asset and a $2.3 million loss incurred on the write-off of leasehold improvements in the prior year period related to the sublease of a portion of our New York office space. Additionally, foreign currency transaction ~~described in Note 6. This increase was partially offset~~gains increased by $1.1 million and $2.0 million ~~of legal provision accruals incurred in the prior year period.~~

•An offsetting $12.0 million decrease in compensation and benefits expenses primarily driven by a $6.8 million decrease in equity-based compensation due to: (i) a $2.4 million decrease in RSUs amortization driven by the accelerated vesting of certain RSUs in the second quarter of 2021 as a result of separation-related compensation for a departing executive; (ii) a $2.0 million decrease in amounts related to Group P Units as a result of the related service period ending during 2020; (iii) a $1.4 million decrease in amounts related to Group E Units, as the remaining units are being amortized on an accelerated basis (i.e., each tranche is being amortized over its respective service period), resulting in decreasing expenses in each subsequent vesting year on these awards; and (iv) a $976 thousand decrease in amounts related to PSUs, as a result of the departure of a former executive. In addition, bonus expense decreased by $3.3 million due to lower guaranteed and discretionary bonus accruals, partially offset by higher deferred cash compensation grants. Lastly, salaries and benefits decreased by $1.9 million, as our worldwide headcount decreased to 336 as of September 30, 2021, from 359 as of September 30, 2020.

•~~An offsetting $1.2 million decrease in interest expense primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balance.~~

~~Total expenses~~ for the quarter-to-date and year-to-date ~~period were $306.1 million, decreasing $110.4 million, primarily due to the following:~~

•A $111.7 million decrease in general, administrative and other expenses primarily driven by: (i) $118.9 million of legal provision accruals in the prior year; (ii) a $6.6 million decrease in professional services expenses, driven by lower legal and accounting fees; and (iii) reductions across various other operating expense categories, driven by travel restrictions and employees working from home.

•~~A $2.7 million decrease in interest expense, primarily due to lower average outstanding debt balance.~~

•An offsetting $4.0 million increase in compensation and benefits expenses primarily driven by a $17.8 million increase in bonus expense due to: (i) separation-related compensation for a departing executive; (ii) an increase in deferred cash compensation grants; and (iii) higher real estate incentive income profit sharing expense driven by

realizations from Sculptor Real Estate Fund II. These increases were partially offset by lower guaranteed and discretionary bonus accruals. The increase in bonus expense was partially offset by a $7.5 million decrease in salaries and benefits, as our worldwide headcount decreased to 336 as of September 30, 2021, from 359 as of September 30, 2020. Further, driving the decrease in salaries and benefits was the capitalization of $1.9 million of certain internal software implementation costs, as we continue to invest in technology to enhance future operational efficiencies. In addition, equity-based compensation expense decreased by $6.3 million primarily due to: (i) a $10.2 million decrease in amounts related to Group E Units, as the remaining units are being amortized on an accelerated basis (i.e., each tranche is being amortized over its respective service period), resulting in decreasing expenses in each subsequent vesting year on these awards; and (ii) a $6.4 million decrease in amounts related to Group P Units as a result of the related service period ending during 2020.periods, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by ~~an $11.7~~increases in professional services expenses of $2.8 million and $6.8 million for the quarter-to-date and year-to-date periods, respectively, both of which were driven by higher legal and recruiting costs.

The quarter-to-date increase was driven by a losses incurred by Sculptor Capital Advisors II as a result of lower incentive income, and Sculptor Capital Advisors LP driven by lower management fees. The year-to-date decrease was driven by a loss generated by Sculptor Capital Advisors II LP as a result of lower incentive income. This was partially offset by net income generated by Sculptor Capital LP as a result of lower other losses due to a decrease in the fair value of warrant liabilities, losses incurred on retirement of debt in the prior year period, partially offset by losses on our investments in the current year period, as well as a smaller loss generated by Sculptor Capital Advisors LP as a result of higher revenues and other income, partially offset by higher operating expenses. During the Distribution Holiday, net income earned by any Sculptor Operating Partnership is allocated 100% to Sculptor Capital Management, Inc., while losses are allocated on a pro rata basis among the Group A Units (noncontrolling interests) and Sculptor Capital Management, Inc. as described in Note 3.3 to the financial statements included in this report.

Economic Income Analysis

In addition to analyzing our results on a GAAP basis, management also reviews our results on an “Economic Income” basis. Economic Income excludes the adjustments described below that are required for presentation of our results on a GAAP basis, but that management does not consider when evaluating operating performance in any given period. Management uses Economic Income as the basis on which it evaluates our financial performance and makes resource allocation and other operating decisions. Management considers it important that investors review the same operating information that it uses.

Economic Income is a measure of pre-tax operating performance that excludes the following from our results on a GAAP basis:

•Equity-based compensation expenses, net of cash settled RSUs. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is discretionary at the time of the grant, then the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash is included as an expense at the time of settlement. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is certain on the grant date, then the expense is recognized during the performance period to which the award relates.

•Amounts related to non-cash interest expense accretion on term debt. The 2020 Term Loan and the Debt Securities, which were issued in connection with the Recapitalization, were each recognized at a significant discount, as proceeds from each borrowing were allocated to warrant liabilities and the 2019 Preferred Units, respectively, resulting in non-cash accretion to par over time through interest expense for GAAP. The Debt Securities and the 2019 Preferred Units were fully redeemed in 2020. Management excludes this non-cash expense from Economic Income, as it does not consider it to be reflective of our economic borrowing costs.

•Depreciation and amortization expenses, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, net losses on retirement of debt, gains and losses on fixed assets, and gains and losses on investments in funds, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of operating performance.

•Impairment of right-of-use lease assets is excluded from Economic Income at the time the impairment is recognized for GAAP and the impact is then amortized over the lease term for Economic Income, as management evaluates impairment expenses over the life of the related lease asset and considers the impairment charge to be nonrecurring in nature. Additionally, rent expense is offset by subrental income as management evaluates rent expenses on a net basis.

•Income allocations to our executive managing directors on their direct interests in the Sculptor Operating Group. Management reviews operating performance at the Sculptor Operating Group level, where our operations are performed, prior to making any income allocations.

•Equity-based compensation expenses, depreciation and amortization expenses, changes in fair value of warrant liabilities, changes in the tax receivable agreement liability, net losses on retirement of debt, gains and losses on fixed assets, gains and losses on investments in funds, and impairment on right-of-use lease assets,Net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests, which relates to our consolidated SPAC, is also eliminated as management does not consider ~~these items~~this to be reflective of operating performance. ~~However, the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash to employees or executive managing directors is included as an expense at the time of settlement.~~

•Amounts related to non-cash interest expense accretion on debt. The 2020 Term Loan and the Debt Securities were each recognized at a significant discount, as proceeds from each borrowing were allocated to warrant liabilities and the 2019 Preferred Units, respectively, resulting in non-cash accretion to par over time through interest expense for GAAP. Management excludes these non-cash expenses from Economic Income, as it does not consider them to be reflective of our economic borrowing costs.

•Amounts related to the consolidated ~~funds, including~~entities, as management does not consider these amounts to be representative of our core operating performance. We also exclude the related eliminations of management fees and incentive income, as management reviews the total amount of management fees and incentive income earned in relation to total ~~assets under management~~AUM and fund performance.

~~In addition, expenses~~Additionally, management fees are presented net of recurring placement and related service fees, as management considers these fees a reduction in management fees, not an expense.

Expenses related to incentive income profit-sharing arrangements are generally recognized at the same time the related incentive income revenue is recognized, as management reviews the ~~total~~ compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned byfrom the relevant fund.

Further, for Economic Income deferred cash compensation is expensed in full induring the ~~year granted for Economic Income,~~performance period to which the award relates, rather than over the service period for ~~GAAP.~~GAAP, as management views the compensation expense impact in relation to the performance period.

As a result of the adjustments described above, ~~as well as an adjustment to present management fees net of recurring placement and related service fees (rather than considering these fees an expense),~~ management fees, incentive income, other revenues, compensation and benefits, interest expense, general, administrative and other expenses, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests as presented on an Economic Income basis are also non-GAAP measures.

For reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the respective GAAP measures, please see “—Economic Income Reconciliations” at the end of this MD&A.

Our non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to our GAAP net income allocated to Class A Shareholders or cash flow from operations, or as indicative of liquidity or the cash available to fund operations. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Economic Income expenses for the quarter-to-date period were ~~$56.4~~$65.8 million, ~~decreasing $8.5~~increasing $9.4 million ~~primarily due to the following:~~

•A $6.9 million decrease in compensation and benefits expenses, driven by a $5.0 million decrease in bonus expense, primarily due to lower guaranteed and discretionary bonus accruals, and a $1.9 million decrease in salaries and benefits, as our worldwide headcount decreased to 336 as of September 30, 2021, from ~~359 as of September 30, 2020.~~

•~~A $1.0 million decrease in general, administrative and other expenses primarily driven by $2.0 million of legal provision accruals incurred in~~ the prior year period, ~~partially offset by a $648 thousand increase in legal fees.~~

•~~A $619 thousand decrease in interest expense primarily driven by lower average outstanding debt balance.~~

and Economic Income expenses for the year-to-date period were ~~$191.1~~$207.2 million, ~~decreasing $125.0~~increasing $16.1 million, primarily due to the following:

•~~A $125.2~~Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits increased by $6.5 million ~~decrease in general, administrative~~for the quarter-to-date period and ~~other expenses~~increased by $15.4 million for the year-to-date period. This was primarily driven by: (i) $118.9 million of legal provision accruals in the prior year; (ii) a $6.6 million decrease in professional services expenses, driven by lower legal and accounting fees; and (iii) reductions across various other operating expense categories, driven by travel restrictions and employees working from home.

•~~Compensation~~Bonus expense increased by $5.3 million for the quarter-to-date period and ~~benefits expenses remained relatively flat year-over-year, driven~~increased by ~~various offsetting items, including a $7.9~~$12.3 million ~~increase in bonus expense,~~for the year-to-date period primarily due ~~to: (i) separation-related compensation for a departing executive; (ii) higher~~to the following:

◦Partially offsetting the increase ~~in deferred cash compensation grants. These increases were partially offset by lower guaranteed and discretionary bonus accruals. The increase in bonus expense~~for the year-to-date period was ~~partially offset by~~ a ~~$7.5~~$10.3 million decrease in separation-related compensation, primarily due to the costs incurred in the first half of 2021 related to a departing executive.

As our discretionary cash bonuses are generally determined based on fund performance in a given year, there may be differences in the timing of when bonuses are accrued and when the corresponding incentive income is recognized, particularly for performance generated on our longer-term AUM and AUM that have annual incentive income crystallization dates other than at year-end. In the fourth quarter we recognize discretionary bonuses, which are largely based on current year fund performance regardless of the year in which incentive income is recognized. It is best to look at our compensation ratio on incentive income over a multi-year period given the difference in timing of these line items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

The working capital needs of our business have historically been met, and we anticipate will continue to be met, through cash generated from management fees and incentive income earned from our funds.

We ended the quarter with ~~$143.0~~$170.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, ~~$241.6 million of longer-term U.S. government obligations (Treasury bills)~~ and ~~$45.9~~$26.0 million of management fees and incentive income receivable (the majority of which will be collected in the fourth quarter of ~~2021).~~2022) and $79.3 million of investments in U.S. government obligations that we can liquidate as needed. We also have access to an additional $25.0 million through our undrawn 2020 Revolving Credit Facility.

Based on management’s experience and our current level of ~~assets under management,~~AUM, we believe that our current liquidity position, together with the cash generated from management fees will be sufficient to meet our anticipated fixed operating expenses (as defined below) and other working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. For our longer-term liquidity needs, we expect to continue to fund our fixed operating expenses through management fees and to fund discretionary cash bonuses and the repayment of our financing arrangements through a combination of management fees and incentive income. We may also decide to meet these requirements by issuing additional debt, equity or other securities.

Over the long term, we believe we will ~~be able~~continue to grow our ~~assets under management~~AUM, including longer-term fee generating capital, and ~~generate~~sustain positive investment performance in our funds, which ~~we expect~~ will ~~allow us to grow~~reflect positively on our ~~management fees~~revenue streams strengthening the balance sheet and ~~incentive income in amounts sufficient~~providing the firm with stability to cover our long-term liquidity requirements.

To maintain maximum flexibility to meet demands and opportunities both in the short and long term, and subject to existing contractual arrangements, we may want to use cash on hand, issue additional equity or borrow additional funds to:

•Support the future growth in our business.

•Create new or enhance existing products and investment platforms.

•Repay amounts due under our debt obligations and repurchase agreements.

•Repurchase Class A Shares or Sculptor Operating Group Units.

•Pursue new investment opportunities.

•Develop new distribution channels.

•Pay dividends.

Recent Developments — Share Repurchase Program

In February 2022, our board of directors (the “Board of Directors” or the ~~nine months ended~~“Board”) authorized us to repurchase up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we ~~repaid $224.4~~repurchased 2,577,605 Class A Shares at the average price of $10.95 per share. Through November 3, 2022, we purchased 2,704,250 shares in aggregate at an average price of $10.91, resulting in a total buyback of $29.5 million of stock. The repurchase program has no expiration date. We may purchase shares on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans or through the ~~2020 Term Loan, leaving a balance~~use of ~~$95.0 million.~~

The repurchase program does not require the purchase of ~~the sublease, we expect to save $14.3 million~~any minimum number of ~~rent costs through the lease maturity in 2029.~~shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

Liquidity Needs

Over the next 12 months, we expect that our primary liquidity needs will be to:

•Pay our operating expenses.

•Pay interest and principal on our financing arrangements.

•Provide capital to facilitate the growth of our business, including making risk retention investments in CLOs managed by us that are subject to EU and UK risk retention ~~rules.~~rules, investments in our funds and fund capital commitments to our funds.

•Pay income taxes, RSU tax withholding obligations and amounts due under the tax receivable agreement.

•Make cash distributions in accordance with our distribution policy.

Operating Expenses

We generally rely on management fees to cover our “fixed” operating expenses, which we define as salaries, benefits, a minimum discretionary bonus and general, administrative and other expenses, including upcoming lease payments as presented in Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements, incurred in the ordinary course of business. No assurances can be given that our management fees will be sufficient to cover our fixed operating expenses in future periods. To the extent our management fees do not cover our fixed operating expenses, as well as to fund any other liabilities, we would rely on cash on hand and incentive income to cover any shortfall. We cannot predict the amount of incentive income, if any, that we may earn in any given year. Total annual revenues, which are heavily influenced by the amount of incentive income we earn, historically have been sufficient to fund both our fixed operating expenses and all of our other working capital needs, including annual discretionary cash bonuses. These cash bonuses, which historically have comprised our largest cash operating expense, are variable such that in any year where total annual revenues are greater or less than the prior year, cash bonuses may be adjusted accordingly. Our ability to scale our largest cash operating expense to our total annual revenues helps us manage our cash flow and liquidity position from year to year.

Historically, we have determined the amount of discretionary cash bonuses during the fourth quarter of each year, based on our total annual revenues and fund performance. We have historically funded these amounts through fourth quarter management fees and incentive income crystallized on December 31, which represents the majority of the incentive income we typically earn each year. ToRelated to performance on longer-term AUM, we accrue bonus expense on ABURI which will not be recognized as incentive income in the current year, but will have associated bonus expense in the current year period. This ABURI could crystallize into incentive income in future periods without the associated bonus expense, which would shift attributable earnings into future periods. In addition, to the extent our funds generate incentive income in the fourth quarter, we may elect to increase the amount of cash bonuses paid to employees over the amount already accrued throughout the year, with any incremental amounts recognized as expense in the fourth quarter. Although we cannot predict the amount, if any, of incentive income we may earn, we are able to regularly monitor expected management fees and we believe that we will be able to adjust our expense infrastructure, including discretionary cash bonuses, as needed to meet the requirements of our business and in order to maintain positive operating cash flows. Nevertheless, if we generate insufficient cash flows from operations to meet our short-term liquidity needs, we may have to borrow funds or sell assets, subject to existing contractual arrangements.

Financing Arrangements

We may use cash on hand to pay interest and principal due on our financing arrangements, including debt obligations and repurchase agreements, prior to their respective maturity or due dates, which would reduce amounts available to distribute to our Class A Shareholders. We may also refinance all or a portion of any borrowings outstanding on or prior to their respective maturity dates. For any amounts unpaid as of a maturity or due date, we will be required to repay the remaining balance by using cash on hand, refinancing the remaining balance by incurring new debt, which could result in higher borrowing costs, or by issuing equity or other securities, which would dilute existing shareholders. See Notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements for details on our debt obligations and repurchase agreements.

CLO Risk Retention Investments

In order to meet risk retention requirements for certain of the CLOs we manage, we use a combination of cash on hand, as well as financing under the CLO Investments Loans and repurchase agreements to fund our 5% risk retention investments. We expect to continue relying on a combination of cash on hand and financing to fund future CLO risk retention investments. Payments of interest and principal on these borrowings are generally due at such time interest and principal payments are received on our risk retention investments in the related CLOs; therefore, our CLO risk retention investments and related financings generally have a net positive impact on our liquidity at each CLO interest and principal payment date.

Tax Receivable Agreement

We have made, and may in the future be required to make, payments under the tax receivable agreement that we entered into with our executive managing directors and Ziff Investors Partnership, L.P. II and certain of its affiliates and control persons (the “Ziffs”). As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law and that we generate sufficient

taxable income to realize the full tax benefit of the increased amortization resulting from the increase in tax basis of certain Sculptor Operating Group assets, we expected to pay our executive managing directors and the Ziffs approximately ~~$183.1~~$178.8 million. Future cash savings and related payments to our executive managing directors under the tax receivable agreement in respect of subsequent exchanges would be in addition to these amounts. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for additional details.

Payments under the tax receivable agreement are anticipated to increase the tax basis adjustment and, consequently, result in increasing annual amortization deductions in the taxable years of and after such increases to the original basis adjustments, and potentially will give rise to increasing tax savings with respect to such years and correspondingly increasing payments under the tax receivable agreement.

The obligation to make payments under the tax receivable agreement is an obligation of Sculptor Corp, and any other corporate taxpaying entities that hold Group B Units, and not of the Sculptor Operating Group. We may need to incur debt to finance payments under the tax receivable agreement to the extent the Sculptor Operating Group does not distribute cash to Sculptor Corp in an amount sufficient to meet our obligations under the tax receivable agreement.

The actual increase in tax basis of the Sculptor Operating Group assets resulting from an exchange or from payments under the tax receivable agreement, as well as the amortization thereof and the timing and amount of payments under the tax receivable agreement, will vary based upon a number of factors, including the following:

•The amount and timing of our income will impact the payments to be made under the tax receivable agreement. To the extent that we do not have sufficient taxable income to utilize the amortization deductions available as a result of the increased tax basis in the Sculptor Operating Partnerships’ assets, payments required under the tax receivable agreement would be reduced.

•The price of our Class A Shares at the time of any exchange will determine the actual increase in tax basis of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships’ assets resulting from such exchange; payments under the tax receivable agreement resulting from future exchanges, if any, will be dependent in part upon such actual increase in tax basis.

•The composition of the Sculptor Operating Group assets at the time of any exchange will determine the extent to which we may benefit from amortizing the increased tax basis in such assets and thus will impact the amount of future payments under the tax receivable agreement resulting from any future exchanges.

•The extent to which future exchanges are taxable will impact the extent to which we will receive an increase in tax basis of the Sculptor Operating Group assets as a result of such exchanges, and thus will impact the benefit derived by us and the resulting payments, if any, to be made under the tax receivable agreement.

•The tax rates in effect at the time any potential tax savings are realized, which would affect the amount of any future payments under the tax receivable agreement.

Depending upon the outcome of these factors, payments that we may be obligated to make to our current and former executive managing directors and the Ziffs under the tax receivable agreement in respect of exchanges could be substantial. In light of the numerous factors affecting our obligation to make payments under the tax receivable agreement, the timing and amounts of any such actual payments are not reasonably ascertainable.

Dividends and Distributions

The table below presents the cash dividends paid on our Class A Shares in ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021. We did not declare a dividend in ~~respect~~the fourth quarter of ~~the first three quarters of 2020~~2021 in respect of earnings for the ~~first three quarters.~~fourth quarter.

For example, the dividend paid on ~~November~~August 22, ~~2021,~~2022 was in respect of earnings for the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2021.~~2022. We paid no related cash distributions to our executive managing directors on their Sculptor Operating Group Units in the respective periods as a result of the Distribution Holiday.

OnAs discussed in Note 1 to the unaudited financial statements, as of September 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,577,605 Class A Shares at a cost of $28.2 million for an average price of $10.95 per share through open market purchase transactions. From October 1 through November 3, ~~2021,~~2022, we ~~announced a cash dividend~~purchased an additional 126,645 shares, bringing the total shares repurchased to 2,704,250 shares for $29.5 million, for an average price of ~~$0.28 per Class A Share. The dividend is payable on November 22, 2021, to holders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2021.~~$10.91.

InAs discussed in Note 3 in our Annual Report, in connection with the Recapitalization, we and our executive managing directors agreed to a “Distribution Holiday” on the Group A Units, Group E Units, Group P Units, PSUs and certain RSUs and RSAs that will terminate on the earlier of (x) 45 days after the last day of the first calendar quarter as of which the achievement of $600.0 million of Distribution Holiday Economic Income is realized and (y) April 1, 2026. During the Distribution Holiday, dividends may continue to be paid on our Class A Shares. As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we have generated a total of ~~$510.4~~$530.9 million of Distribution Holiday Economic Income, compared to the target of $600.0 million.

Distribution Holiday Economic Income is the cumulative amount of Economic Income earned since October 1, 2018, less any dividends paid to Class A Shareholders or on the now-retired Preferred Units. Distribution Holiday Economic Income is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the agreements of limited partnership of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships and is being presented to provide an update on the progress made toward the $600.0 million target required to exit the Distribution Holiday. Please see “—Distribution Holiday Economic Income Reconciliation” for a reconciliation of Distribution Holiday Economic Income to net income attributable to Class A Shareholders.

During the Distribution Holiday, we expect to pay dividends on our Class A Shares annually in an aggregate amount equal to not less than 20% or greater than 30% of our annual Economic Income less an estimate of payments under the tax receivable agreement, and income taxes related to the earnings for the periods; provided, that, if the minimum amount of dividends eligible to be made hereunder would be $1.00 or less per Class A Share, then we expect to pay up to $1.00 per Class A Share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any equity dividend, equity split, combination or other similar recapitalization with respect to the Class A Shares). During the Distribution Holiday, (i) we will only make distributions with respect to Group B Units, (ii) the performance thresholds of Group P Units and PSUs shall be adjusted to take into account performance and distributions during such period, and (iii) RSUs and certain RSAs will continue to receive dividend equivalents in respect of dividends or distributions paid on the Class A Shares. For certain executive managing directors, distributions on RSUs, as well as distributions counted in determining whether market performance conditions of Group P Units and PSUs are met, are limited to an aggregate amount not to exceed $4.00 per Group P Unit, PSU, RSU, or ~~RSU,~~RSA, as applicable, cumulatively during the Distribution Holiday. Following the termination of the Distribution Holiday, Group A Units and Group E Units (whether vested or unvested) shall receive distributions even if such units have not been booked-up. See Note 13 in our Annual Report for additional information.

The declaration and payment of any distribution may be subject to legal, contractual or other restrictions. For example, as a Delaware corporation, the Registrant’s Board may only declare and pay dividends either out of its surplus (as defined in

Delaware General Corporation Law) or in case there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. Our cash needs and payment obligations may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter, and we may have material unexpected expenses in any period. This may cause amounts available for distribution to significantly fluctuate from quarter to quarter or may reduce or eliminate such amounts.

Additionally, RSUs and certain RSAs outstanding accrue dividend equivalents equal to the dividend amounts paid on our Class A Shares. To date, these dividend equivalents have been awarded in the form of additional RSUs or RSAs, as applicable, which accrue additional dividend equivalents. The dividend equivalents will only be paid if the related ~~RSUs~~RSUs/RSAs vest and will be settled at the same time as the underlying ~~RSUs.~~RSUs/RSAs. Our Board of Directors has the right to determine whether the RSUs and any related dividend equivalents will be settled in Class A Shares or in cash. We currently withhold shares to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to vested ~~RSUs~~RSUs/RSAs and dividend equivalents held by our employees, which results in the use of cash from operations or borrowings to satisfy these tax-withholding payments. In addition, certain RSAs and Class P Units may receive dividend equivalents in the form of additional RSAs or Class P Units, as applicable, upon satisfaction of certain performance-based vesting requirements.

Historically, when we have paid dividends on our Class A Shares, we also made distributions to our executive managing directors on their interests in the Sculptor Operating Group, subject to the terms of the limited partnership agreements of the Sculptor Operating Partnerships; however, as part of the Recapitalization, the Sculptor Operating Partnerships initiated the Distribution Holiday. See Note 3 in our Annual Report to our consolidated financial statements in ~~our Annual Report~~this report for additional information regarding the Distribution Holiday.

Our cash distribution policy has certain risks and limitations, particularly with respect to our liquidity. Although we expect to pay distributions according to our policy, we may not make distributions according to our policy, or at all, if, among other things, we do not have the cash necessary to pay the distribution. Furthermore, by paying cash distributions rather than investing that cash in our businesses, we might risk slowing the pace of our growth, or not having a sufficient amount of cash to fund our obligations, operations, new investments or unanticipated capital expenditures, should the need arise. In such event, we may not be able to execute our business and growth strategy to the extent intended.

Risks to Our Liquidity

~~Net capital outflows from~~In the normal course of our funds’ life cycles, investors in our multi-strategy and certain open-end opportunistic credit funds ~~over~~have the ~~last several years caused~~right to redeem their interests following an initial lock up period, as discussed in the “Managing Business Performance” section, which could impact our liquidity and management ~~fees to decline for a period of time.~~fees. While ~~outflows have stabilized over the last couple of quarters and~~ we continuously make every effort to scale our operations so that management fees are sufficient to cover our fixed operating expenses, our management fees may not always cover these expenses. Additionally, in the event that a future contingent liability were to arise that exceeded our liquidity resources, we would need to rely on new sources of liquidity such as issuing additional equity or borrowing additional funds.

Any new borrowing arrangement that we may enter into may have covenants that impose additional limitations on us, including with respect to making distributions, entering into business transactions or other matters, and may result in increased interest expense. If we are unable to meet our debt obligations on terms that are favorable to us, our business may be adversely impacted. No assurance can be given that we will be able to issue new notes, enter into new credit facilities or issue equity or other securities in the future on attractive terms or at all.

Adverse market conditions, including the COVID-19 pandemic, increase the risk that our management fees and incentive income may decline if net outflows increase or as a result of performance-related depreciation in our funds. Lower revenues and other factors may make it more difficult or costly to raise or borrow additional funds, and excessive borrowing costs or other significant market barriers may limit or prevent us from maximizing our growth potential and flexibility. We have also evaluated our financing arrangements in light of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure compliance with debt covenants. Through the date of this filing, we remain in compliance with our debt covenants and expect to continue to be in compliance in the near term. Our ability to access financial markets, should it be necessary, may be limited because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our CLO risk retention financing arrangements are not subject to any financial maintenance covenants, but are subject to customary events of default and covenants included in financing arrangements of this type and also include terms that require our continued involvement with the CLOs. In addition to customary events of default included in financing arrangements of this

type, the CLO Investments Loans may be accelerated to the extent there is an event of default (“EOD”) at the CLO level. Prior to the relevant CLO’s maturity date, this would include certain material covenant breaches, regulatory and insolvency events for the relevant CLO issuer, as well as a payment default where the relevant CLO is unable to make interest payments on the senior, non-deferrable interest notes issued by the CLO. For the repurchase agreements, in addition to customary events of default and covenants included in financing arrangements of this type, there are margin requirements that may cause us to post additional cash collateral; however, this is only triggered in the event of an EOD at the CLO level. Currently, we do not view any of the customary or CLO level EODs for these types of financing arrangements as a material risk. In particular, an EOD related to an

interest payment default on the senior, non-deferrable interest notes of the type of cash flow CLOs that we manage has been unprecedented even during the credit crisis in 2008 and 2009.

On March 5, 2021, the UK Financial Conduct Authority announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark immediately after December 31, 2021, for sterling, euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and 1-week and 2-month U.S. Dollar settings and immediately after June 30, 2023, for the remaining U.S. Dollar settings. ~~To address the transition away from LIBOR, the~~As of September 30, 2022, we had direct exposure to U.S. Dollar LIBOR-linked interest rate settings through our 2020 Credit Agreement, ~~provides for an agreed upon methodology to establish a new floating rate reference plus new applicable spreads.~~ and certain CLO Investments and associated CLO Investments Loans.

In the first quarter of 2020, we formed an internal LIBOR Transition Working Group to help effectuate an orderly transition from LIBOR. To address LIBOR cessation, the 2020 Credit Agreement provides for an agreed upon methodology to establish a new floating reference rate plus new applicable spreads. Each of our CLO Investments and CLO Investments Loans that reference U.S. Dollar LIBOR settings are expected to be transitioned to an alternative reference rate. This transition will either be carried out through hardwired replacement mechanisms and/or amendment procedures in the existing governing documents for such CLO Investments and CLO Investments Loans or, if the related governing documents do not clearly or practicably address fallbacks to alternative base rates, then potentially by application of the Adjustable Interest Rate (LIBOR) Act (the “LIBOR Act”), which was signed into law in the United States earlier this year as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2022. The LIBOR Act establishes a process for replacing LIBOR on existing LIBOR contracts (governed by law in the United States) by providing that a benchmark replacement identified by the Federal Reserve Board that is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (plus a spread) will replace LIBOR as the benchmark for such contracts. The final implementation of the LIBOR Act is currently pending the issuance of final regulations by the Federal Reserve for its implementation.

Additionally, we have pursued several technology initiatives to ensure that firm-wide accounting and master data systems are equipped to handle evolving market conventions associated with regulatory recommended reference rates, and will continue to monitor our needs for any future changes in market standards. Our senior management has oversight of ~~these~~our transition efforts, and periodic updates ~~are~~have been provided to the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. For the face value of instruments impacted by the LIBOR transition that we hold on our books see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report. See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—~~Changes in the method of determining LIBOR, or the~~The replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect our credit arrangements and our collateralized loan obligation transactions” in our Annual Report for additional information.

Our Funds’ Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our funds have access to liquidity from our prime brokers and other counterparties. Additionally, our funds may have committed facilities in addition to regular financing from our counterparties. These sources of liquidity provide our funds with additional financing resources, allowing them to take advantage of opportunities in the global marketplace.

Our funds’ current liquidity position could be adversely impacted by any substantial, unanticipated investor redemptions from our funds that are made within a short time period. As discussed above in ~~“—Assets Under Management and Fund Performance,”~~the “Managing Business Performance” section, capital contributions from investors in our multi-strategy and open-end opportunistic credit funds generally are subject to initial lock-up periods of one to ~~three years.~~four years, except for certain multi-strategy fund investors who have the right to redeem their interests on a quarterly basis. Following the expiration of these lock-up periods, subject to certain limitations, investors may redeem capital generally on a quarterly, annual, or ~~annual~~three-year basis upon giving 30 to 90 days’ prior written notice. These lock-ups and redemption notice periods help us to manage our liquidity position. Investors in our other funds are generally not allowed to redeem until the end of the life of the fund.

We also follow a rigorous risk management process and regularly monitor the liquidity of our funds’ portfolios in relation to economic and market factors and the timing of potential investor redemptions. As a result of this process, we may determine to reduce exposure or increase the liquidity of our funds’ portfolios at any time, whether in response to global economic and market conditions, redemption requests or otherwise. For these reasons, we believe we will be well prepared to address market conditions and redemption requests, as well as any other events, with limited impact on our funds’ liquidity position. Nevertheless, significant redemptions made during a single quarter could adversely affect our funds’ liquidity position, as we may meet redemptions by using our funds’ available cash or selling assets (possibly at a loss). Such actions would result in lower ~~assets under management,~~AUM, which would reduce the amount of management fees and incentive income we may earn. Our funds could also meet redemption requests by increasing leverage, provided we are able to obtain financing on reasonable terms, if at all. We believe our funds have sufficient liquidity to meet any anticipated redemptions for the foreseeable future.

Liquidity of Consolidated SPAC

The investments of our consolidated SPAC are held in a trust account that includes U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities of 90 days or greater when purchased, that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $236.0 million in funds as of September 30, 2022, are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in the SPAC trust agreement.

Cash Flows Analysis

Operating Activities. Net cash from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was ~~$457.1~~$(324.5) million and ~~$112.1~~$457.1 million, respectively. Our net cash flows from operating activities are generally comprised of current-year management fees, the collection of incentive income earned during the fourth quarter of the previous year, interest income collected on our investments ~~in CLO’s,~~and bank deposits, less cash used for operating expenses, including interest paid on our debt obligations. Also contributing to lower cash inflows in 2022 were the investing activities of the funds we consolidate, which included $494.0 million of purchases of investments, partially offset by sale of investments by the funds of $180.7 million. These cash flows are of the consolidated funds and do not directly impact the cash flows related to our Class A Shareholders.

Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021 increased~~2022 decreased from the prior year period due to ~~higher~~lower year-end incentive income earned in ~~2020~~2021 than in ~~2019, a~~2020. A large portion of the 2021 and 2020 incentive, was collected in the beginning of 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, discretionary bonuses were higher in 2021, which were paid in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to year-end incentive income earned in 2019, a large portion of which was collected in the beginning of 2020. Additionally, in the current year period as compared to the prior year period, we collected more incentive income from our real estate funds. These increases in operating cash flows were partially offset by higher discretionary bonuses in 2020, which were paid in the first quarter of ~~2021, as~~2021. These decreases were partially offset by the collection of more incentive income from our real estate funds in 2022 compared to ~~discretionary bonuses in 2019, which were paid in the first quarter of 2020.~~

2021.

Investing Activities. Net cash from investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was ~~$(214.8)~~$(95.3) million, and ~~$(20.1)~~$(214.8) million, respectively. Investing cash outflows in ~~2021~~2022 primarily related to purchases of U.S. Government obligations by us and ~~2020~~our consolidated SPAC and investments made by us in our funds, partially offset by maturities and sales of U.S. government obligations and return of investments in our funds. Investing cash outflows in 2021 primarily related to purchases of U.S. government obligations and investments made in our funds, partially offset by maturities and sales of U.S. government obligations.

Financing Activities. Net cash from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 ~~and 2020~~ was ~~$(283.8)~~$200.0 million, and ~~$(43.6)~~$(283.8) million, respectively. Net cash from financing activities is generally comprised of dividends paid to our Class A Shareholders, borrowings and repayments related to our debt obligations, repurchases of treasury shares, and proceeds from repurchase agreements used to finance risk retention investments in our CLOs. Distributions to our executive managing directors on their Group A Units (prior to the Distribution Holiday), are also included in net cash from financing activities. Also contributing to higher cash inflows in 2022 were the financing activities of the entities we consolidate. These cash flows are of the consolidated entities and do not directly impact the cash flows related to our Class A Shareholders.

In the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021, we repaid~~2022, no repayments of the 2020 Term Loan were made, compared to repayments of $224.4 million and $19.9 million of the 2020 Term Loan and a ~~$19.9 million~~ CLO Investment ~~Loan. In~~loan, respectively, in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020, we repaid $36.5 million of the 2018 Term Loan.~~2021. Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we entered into $20.4 million and $45.9 million, respectively, of repurchase agreements to finance or refinance risk retention investments in our European CLOs. Further, in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased $28.2 million of Class A shares as a part

of our share repurchase program and our consolidated structured alternative investment solution issued $215.7 million of notes payable.

We paid dividends of ~~$77.0~~$6.0 million to our Class A Shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, compared to dividends of ~~$11.6~~$77.0 million paid to our Class A Shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2020.~~2021. No distributions were made to our executive managing directors in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021~~2022 or September 30, ~~2020,~~2021, as a result of the Distribution Holiday.

Critical Accounting ~~Policies and~~ Estimates

Critical accounting ~~policies~~estimates are those that require us to make significant judgments, estimates or assumptions that affect amounts reported in our financial statements or the notes thereto. We base our judgments, estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable and prudent. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in ~~our Annual Report~~this report for a description of our accounting policies. Set forth below is a summary of what we believe to be our most critical accounting policies and estimates.

Fair Value of Investments

The valuation of investments held by our funds is the most critical estimate made by management impacting our results. Pursuant to specialized accounting for investment companies under GAAP, investments held by the funds are carried at their estimated fair values. The valuation of investments held by our funds has a significant impact on our results, as our management fees and incentive income are generally determined based on the fair value of these investments.

GAAP prioritizes the level of market price observability used in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of assets and liabilities and the specific characteristics of the assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities with readily available, actively quoted prices (Level I) or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices (Level II) generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value than those measured using pricing inputs that are unobservable in the market (Level III). See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding fair value measurements.

As of September 30, 2022, the absolute values of our funds’ invested assets and liabilities (excluding the notes and loans payable of our securitization vehicles) were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows: approximately 33% within Level I; approximately 43% within Level II; and approximately 24% within Level III. As of December 31, 2021, the absolute values of our funds’ invested assets and liabilities (excluding the notes and loans payable of our securitization vehicles) were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows: approximately ~~38%~~40% within Level I; approximately ~~44%~~41% within Level II; and approximately 18% within Level III. As of December 31, 2020, the absolute values of our funds’ invested assets and liabilities (excluding the notes and loans payable of our securitization vehicles) were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows: approximately 35% within Level I; approximately 48% within Level II; and approximately 17%19% within Level III. The percentage of our funds’ assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy will fluctuate based on the investments made at any given time and such fluctuations could be significant. A portion of our funds’ Level III assets relate to Special Investments or other investments on which we do not earn any incentive income until such investments are sold or otherwise realized. Upon the sale or realization event of these assets, any realized profits are included in the calculation of

incentive income for such year. Accordingly, the estimated fair value of our funds’ Level III assets may not have any relation to the amount of incentive income actually earned with respect to such assets.

Valuation of Investments. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The fair value of our funds’ investments is based on observable market prices when available. We, as the investment manager of our funds, determine the fair value of investments that are not actively traded on a recognized securities exchange or otherwise lack a readily ascertainable market value. The methods and procedures to value these investments may include the following: performing comparisons with prices of comparable or similar securities; obtaining valuation-related information from the issuers; calculating the present value of future cash flows; assessing other analytical data and information relating to the investment that is an indication of value; obtaining information provided by third parties; and evaluating financial information provided by the management of these investments.

Significant judgment and estimation go into the assumptions that drive our valuation methodologies and procedures for assets that are not actively traded on a recognized securities exchange or otherwise lack a readily ascertainable market value. The valuation of investments can be more difficult when severe economic and market shocks occur. The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of such a shock. The actual amounts ultimately realized could differ materially from the values estimated based on the use of these methodologies. Realizations at values significantly lower than the values at which investments have been reflected could result in losses at the fund level and a decline in future management fees and incentive income. Such situations may also negatively impact fund investor perception of our valuation policies and procedures, which could result in redemptions and difficulties in raising additional capital.

We have established an internal control infrastructure over the valuation of financial instruments that includes ongoing oversight by our Valuation Controls Group and Valuation Committee, as well as periodic audits by our Internal Audit function. These management control functions are segregated from the trading and investing functions.

The Valuation Committee is responsible for establishing the valuation policy and monitors compliance with the policy, ensuring that all of the funds’ investments reflect fair value, as well as providing oversight of the valuation process. The valuation policy includes, but is not limited to the following: determining the pricing sources used to value specific investment classes; the selection of independent pricing services; performing due diligence of independent pricing services; and the classification of investments within the fair value hierarchy. The Valuation Committee reviews a variety of reports on a monthly basis, which include the following: summaries of the sources used to determine the value of the funds’ investments; summaries of the fair value hierarchy of the funds’ investments; methodology changes and variance reports that compare the values of investments to independent pricing services. The Valuation Committee is independent from the investment professionals and may obtain input from investment professionals for consideration in carrying out its responsibilities.

The Valuation Committee has assigned the responsibility of performing price verification and related quality controls in accordance with the valuation policy to the Valuation Controls Group. The Valuation Controls Group’s other responsibilities include the following: overseeing the collection and evaluation of counterparty prices, broker-dealer quotations, exchange prices and pricing information provided by independent pricing services. Additionally, the Valuation Controls Group is responsible for performing back testing by comparing prices observed in executed transactions to valuations provided by independent pricing service providers on a monthly basis; performing stale pricing analysis on a monthly basis; performing due diligence reviews on independent pricing services on an annual basis; and recommending changes in valuation policies to the Valuation Committee. The Valuation Controls Group also verifies that indicative broker quotations used to value certain investments are representative of fair value through procedures such as comparison to independent pricing services, back testing procedures, review of stale pricing reports and performance of other due diligence procedures as may be deemed necessary.

Investment professionals and members of the Valuation Controls Group review a daily profit and loss report, as well as other periodic reports that analyze the profit and loss and related asset class exposure of the funds’ investments.

The Internal Audit function employs a risk-based program of audit coverage that is designed to provide an assessment of the design and effectiveness of controls over our operations, regulatory compliance, valuation of financial instruments and reporting. Additionally, the Internal Audit function meets periodically with management and the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors to evaluate and provide guidance on the existing risk framework and control environment assessments.

Recognition of Incentive Income

The determination of whether to recognize incentive income under GAAP requires a significant amount of judgment regarding whether it is probable that a significant revenue reversal of incentive income that we are potentially entitled to as of a point in time will not occur in future periods, which would preclude the recognition of such amounts as incentive income. Management considers a variety of factors when evaluating whether the recognition of incentive income is appropriate, including: the performance of the fund, whether we have received or are entitled to receive incentive income distributions and whether such amounts are restricted, the investment period and expected term of the fund, where the fund is in its life-cycle, the volatility and liquidity of investments held by the fund, our team’s experience with similar investments and potential sales of investments within

the fund. Management continuously evaluates whether there are additional considerations that could potentially impact the recognition of incentive income and notes that the recognition, and potential reversal, of incentive income is subject to potentially significant variability due to changes to the aforementioned considerations. See Note 11 for details on amounts recognized and deferred for incentive income.

Variable Interest Entities

The determination of whether or not to consolidate a variable interest entity under GAAP requires a significant amount of judgment concerning the degree of control over an entity by its holders of variable interests. To make these judgments, management has conducted an analysis, on a case-by-case basis, of whether we are the primary beneficiary and are therefore required to consolidate the entity. Management continually reconsiders whether we should consolidate a variable interest entity. Upon the occurrence of certain events, such as investor redemptions or modifications to fund organizational documents and investment management agreements, management will reconsider its conclusion regarding the status of an entity as a variable interest entity.

Income Taxes

We use the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is established when management believes it is more likely than not that a deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

Substantially all of our deferred income tax assets relate to the goodwill and other intangible assets deductible for tax purposes by Sculptor Corp that arose in connection with the purchase of Group A Units with proceeds from the 2007 Offerings, subsequent exchanges of Group A Units for Class A Shares and subsequent payments made under the tax receivable agreement, in addition to any related net operating loss carryforward. In accordance with relevant provisions of the Code, we expect to take these goodwill and other intangible deductions over the 15-year period following the 2007 Offerings and subsequent exchanges, as well as an additional 20-year loss carryforward period available to us for net operating losses generated prior to 2018 and indefinite carryforward period for net operating losses generated beginning in 2018, in order to fully realize the deferred income tax assets. Our analysis of whether we expect to have sufficient future taxable income to realize these deductions is based solely on estimates over this period.

Sculptor Corp generated taxable income of ~~$91.2~~$20.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, before taking into account deductions related to the amortization of the goodwill and other intangible assets. We determined that we would need to generate taxable income of at least ~~$848.8~~$810.6 million over the remaining two-year weighted-average amortization period, as well as an additional 20-year loss carryforward period available for expiring losses, in order to fully realize the deferred income tax assets. Using the estimates and assumptions discussed below, we expect to generate sufficient taxable income over the remaining amortization and loss carryforward periods available to us in order to fully realize the deferred income tax assets.

To generate ~~$848.8~~$810.6 million in taxable income over the remaining amortization and loss carryforward periods available to us, we estimated that, based on estimated ~~assets under management~~AUM of ~~$36.9~~$35.8 billion as of October 1, ~~2021,~~2022, we would need to generate a minimum compound annual growth rate in ~~assets under management~~AUM of less than 3% over the period for which the

taxable income estimate relates to fully realize the deferred income tax assets, assuming no performance-related growth, and therefore no incentive income. The assumed nature and amount of this estimated growth rate are not based on historical results or current expectations of future growth; however, the other assumptions underlying the taxable income estimates, are based on our near-term operating budget. If our actual growth rate in ~~assets under management~~AUM falls below this minimum threshold for any extended time during the period for which these estimates relate and we do not otherwise experience offsetting growth rates in other periods, we may not generate taxable income sufficient to realize the deferred income tax assets and may need to record a valuation allowance.

Management regularly reviews the model used to generate the estimates, including the underlying assumptions. If it determines that a valuation allowance is required for any reason, the amount would be determined based on the relevant circumstances at that time. To the extent we record a valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets related to the goodwill and other intangible assets, we would record a corresponding decrease in the liability under the tax receivable agreement

equal to approximately 69% of such amount; therefore, our consolidated net income (loss) would only be impacted by 31% of any valuation allowance recorded against the deferred income tax assets.

Actual taxable income may differ from the estimate described above, which was prepared solely for determining whether we currently expect to have sufficient future taxable income to realize the deferred income tax assets. Furthermore, actual or estimated future taxable income may be materially impacted by significant changes in ~~assets under management,~~AUM, whether as a result of fund investment performance or fund investor contributions or redemptions, significant changes to the assumptions underlying our estimates, future changes in income tax law, state income tax apportionment or other factors.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we had ~~$243.1~~$229.9 million of net operating losses available to offset future taxable income for federal income tax purposes that will expire between ~~2030~~2031 and 2037, and ~~$153.5~~$256.7 million of net operating losses available to be carried forward without expiration. Additionally, ~~$173.6~~$210.6 million of net operating losses are available to offset future taxable income for state income tax purposes and ~~$169.8~~$206.8 million for local income tax purposes that will expire between 2035 and ~~2041.~~2042.

Based on the analysis set forth above, as of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we have determined that it is not necessary to record a valuation allowance with respect to our deferred income tax assets related to the goodwill and other intangible assets deductible for tax purposes, and any related net operating loss carryforward. However, we have determined that we may not realize certain foreign income tax credits and accordingly, a valuation allowance of ~~$9.8~~$6.2 million has been established for these items.

Impact of Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements on Recent and Future Trends

No changes to GAAP that went into effect during the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, are expected to substantively impact our future trends.

Expected Impact of Future Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements on Future Trends

None of the changes to GAAP that have been issued but that we have not yet adopted are expected to substantively impact our future trends.

_______________

(1)Adjustment to exclude equity-based compensation, ~~as management does not consider these non-cash expenses~~net of cash settled RSUs. When the number of RSUs to be ~~reflective~~settled in cash is discretionary at the time of ~~our operating performance. However,~~the grant, then the fair value of RSUs that are settled in cash ~~to employees or executive managing directors~~ is included as an expense at the time of settlement. When the number of RSUs to be settled in cash is certain on the grant date, then the expense is recognized during the performance period to which the award relates. In addition, expenses related to incentive income profit-sharing arrangements are generally recognized at the same time the related incentive income revenue is recognized, as management reviews the total compensation expense related to these arrangements in relation to any incentive income earned byfrom the relevant fund. ~~Further,~~For Economic income deferred cash compensation is expensed in full induring the ~~year granted for Economic Income,~~performance period to which the award relates to, rather than over the service period for ~~GAAP.~~GAAP as management views the compensation expense impact in relation to the performance period.

(2)Adjustment to exclude amounts related to non-cash interest expense accretion on debt. The 2020 Term Loan and the Debt Securities, which were issued in connection with the Recapitalization, were each recognized at a significant discount, as proceeds from each borrowing were allocated to warrant liabilities and the 2019 Preferred Units, respectively, resulting in non-cash accretion to par over time through interest expense for GAAP. The Debt Securities and the 2019 Preferred Units were fully redeemed in 2020. Management excludes ~~these~~this non-cash ~~expenses~~expense from Economic Income, as it does not consider ~~them~~it to be reflective of our economic borrowing costs.

(3)Adjustment to exclude depreciation, amortization, and losses on fixed ~~assets, and impairment of right-of-use lease~~ assets, as management does not consider these items to be reflective of our operating performance. Impairment of right-of-use lease assets is excluded from Economic Income at the time the impairment is recognized for GAAP and the impact is then amortized over the lease term for Economic Income, as management evaluates impairment expenses over the life of the related lease asset and considers the impairment charge to be nonrecurring in nature. Additionally, rent expense is offset by subrental income as management evaluates rent expenses on a net basis. Further, recurring placement and related service fees are excluded, as management considers these fees a reduction in management fees, not an expense.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as general partner or investment manager for the funds, and the sensitivities to movements in the fair value of their investments that may adversely affect our management fees and incentive income.

The quantitative information provided in this section was prepared using estimates and assumptions that management believes are reasonable to provide an indication of the directional impact that a hypothetical adverse movement in certain risks would have on net income attributable to Class A Shareholders. The actual impact of a hypothetical adverse movement in these risks could be materially different from the amounts shown below.

Management of Market Risk

Risk management is highly integrated with our investment process and the operations of our business. Our approach to investing and managing risk is based on (i) proactive risk management, (ii) preservation of capital, (iii) dynamic capital allocation and (iv) expertise across strategies and geographies. We constantly monitor risk and have instituted a formal and consistent process to disseminate information, conduct informed debate, and take proactive or responsive action across our portfolios. In addition to our formalized process, we conduct custom studies and optimizations for various groups on an as-needed, ad hoc

basis such as bespoke hedge solutions, pre-trade what-if analysis, and portfolio rebalance alternatives. Our goal is to preserve capital during periods of market decline and generate competitive investment performance in rising markets. We use sophisticated risk tools and active portfolio management to govern exposures to market and other risk factors. We adhere strictly to each fund’s mandate and provisions with respect to leverage. We are knowledgeable about the risks of fund leverage, respectful of its limits, and judicious in our application. We allocate to individual investments based on a thorough analysis of the risk/reward for each opportunity under consideration and the investment objectives for each of our funds. When managing our funds’ exposure to market risks, we may from time to time use hedging strategies and various forms of derivative instruments to limit the funds’ exposure to changes in the relative values of investments that may result from market developments, including changes in prevailing interest rates, currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Changes in Fair Value

Fair value of the financial assets and liabilities of our funds may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of investments, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, and interest rates, among other factors. The fair value changes in the financial assets and liabilities of our funds may affect the amount of our ~~assets under management~~AUM and may impact the amount of management fees and incentive income we may earn from the funds.

The amount of our ~~assets under management~~AUM in our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds is generally based on net asset value (plus unfunded commitments in certain cases). A 10% change in the fair value of the net assets held by our funds as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, would have resulted in ~~a change~~changes of approximately ~~$1.7~~$1.5 billion and ~~$1.6~~$1.7 billion, respectively, in ~~assets under management. Assets under management~~AUM. AUM for our real estate funds and securitization vehicles ~~are~~is not based on net asset value.

Impact on Management Fees

Management fees for our multi-strategy and opportunistic credit funds are generally based on the net asset value of those funds. Accordingly, management fees will generally change in proportion to changes in the fair value of investments held by these funds. Management fees for our real estate funds and securitization vehicles are not based on net asset value; therefore, management fees are not directly impacted by changes in the fair value of investments held by those funds.

A hypothetical 10% decline in the fair value of the net assets held by our funds would have resulted in a reduction of management fees by approximately $14.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and $15.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, ~~2021 and $12.7 million in nine months ended September 30, 2020.~~2021.

Impact on Incentive Income

Incentive income for our funds is generally based on a percentage of profits generated by our funds over a commitment period, which is impacted by global market conditions and other factors. Major factors that influence the degree of impact include how the investments held by our funds are impacted by changes in the market and the extent to which any hurdle rates or high-water marks impact our ability to earn incentive income. Consequently, incentive income cannot be readily predicted or estimated.

A 10% change in the fair value of the net assets held by our funds as of the end of any year could significantly affect our incentive income. We do not earn incentive income on unrealized gains attributable to Special Investments and certain other investments, and therefore a change in the fair value of those investments would have no effect on incentive income until such investments are sold or otherwise realized.

Exchange Rate Risk

Changes in currency rates will impact the carrying value of financial instruments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. We hold certain cash and risk retention investments in the European CLOs as well as related financing (CLO Investments Loans and repurchase agreements) denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies, which may be affected by movements in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. Additionally, a portion of our operating expenses and management fees are denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies. We manage our exposure to exchange rate risks through our regular operating activities, wherein we may align foreign currency payments and receipts, and when appropriate, through the use

of derivative financial instruments to ~~economically~~ hedge certain foreign currency exposure, although the impact of these were not material in ~~nine months ended September 30, 2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

We estimate that as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, a hypothetical 10% weakening or strengthening of the U.S. dollar against all foreign currency rates would not have a material direct impact on our revenues, net income attributable to Class A Shareholders or Economic Income. The impact on cash flows from financial instruments would be insignificant.

Our investment funds hold investments that are denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies that may be affected by movement in the rate of exchange between the U.S. dollar and non-U.S. dollar currencies. The funds may seek to hedge resulting currency exposure through borrowings in foreign currencies or through the use of derivative financial instruments.

Interest Rate Risk

Borrowings under the 2020 Term Loan and our investments in CLOs accrue interest at variable rates. Interest rate changes may therefore affect the amount of our interest payments, future earnings and cash flows. We estimate that as of September 30, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, a hypothetical one percentage increase or decrease in variable interest rates would not have a material direct impact on our annual interest income, interest expense, net income attributable to Class A Shareholders or Economic Income. A tightening of credit and an increase in prevailing interest rates could make it more difficult for us to raise capital and sustain the growth rate of the funds.

Our investment funds hold investments that may be affected by changes in interest rates. A material increase in interest rates would be expected to negatively affect valuation of investments that accrue interest at fixed rates. The actual impact would be dependent upon the average duration of fixed income holdings at the time and may be partially offset by the use of derivative financial instruments and higher interest income on variable rate securities. For funds that pay management fees based on net asset value, we estimate that our management fees would change proportionally with such increases or decreases in net asset value.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparties or debt issuers may fail to fulfill their obligations or that the collateral value may become inadequate to cover our exposure. We manage credit risk by monitoring the credit exposure to and the creditworthiness of counterparties, requiring additional collateral where appropriate.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that 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 rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as

appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of September 30, ~~2021,~~2022, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and were operating at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act, that occurred in the third quarter of ~~2021~~2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls.

The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are from time to time involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of our business. Like other businesses in our industry, we are subject to extensive scrutiny by regulatory agencies globally that have, or may in the future have, regulatory authority over us and our business activities. This has resulted in, or may in the future result in, regulatory agency investigations, litigation and subpoenas, and related sanctions and costs. See “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business—Regulatory changes in jurisdictions outside the U.S. could adversely affect our business” in our Annual Report. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We may be adversely affected by the effects of inflation.

General inflation in the United States, Europe and other geographies has risen to levels not experienced in recent decades. Inflation has the potential to adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure, particularly increased prices will increase our costs and may lead to our clients requesting fewer services or decreased investment in our funds. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, increased costs of labor, and other similar effects. Although we may take measures in an effort to mitigate the impact of this inflation, if these measures are not effective our business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity could be materially adversely affected. Even if such measures are effective, there could be a difference between the timing of when such actions impact our results of operations and when the cost inflation is incurred.

The founder and former Chief Executive Officer of Och-Ziff has taken certain actions that have had an adverse impact on our business.

The founder and former Chief Executive Officer (the “Founder”) of Och-Ziff, has taken certain public actions that have had an adverse impact on our business, including 1) commencement of a Section 220 legal proceeding on August 24, 2022 in Delaware Chancery Court which is described in Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings of this Form 10-Q; and 2) October 4, 2022 and November 3, 2022 letters to Sculptor’s Board of Directors, simultaneously filed publicly with the SEC. In each, the Founder makes what we believe are inaccurate assertions with respect to our Board of Directors and our management team. Should such actions or similar actions persist, there will be a continuation of adverse impacts to our business, which include affecting our ability to retain and attract fund investors and highly qualified employees and our ability to raise new funds.

Please see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for a discussion of the additional risks material to our business.

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