We sub-leased a portion of certain existing office space over the remaining term of the respective leases and expect to receive fixed sub-lease payments totaling $3 million over the remaining life of the sub-lease contracts.

With respect to the new lease commencing in 2026, the Company will be provided with a credit to cover fixed lease payments of $71,000 per month on an existing lease that expires in September 2026 during the period the two leases overlap, and also expects to sub-lease a portion of this new office space in 2026, which will reduce its future lease obligation.    

The Company's lease obligations will be funded through corporate operating cash. Lease obligation amounts represent undiscounted fixed lease payments over contractual lease terms of up to 10 years, excluding any contingent or other variable lease payments, and factor in lease renewal or termination options only if it is reasonably certain that such options would be exercised.

Sources of Liquidity

Debt Funding

As of the date of this filing, we have $300 million of outstanding principal on our corporate debt, as discussed above under "—Debt Obligation." 

Our securitized financing facility is subject to various covenants, including financial covenants that require the maintenance of minimum thresholds for debt service coverage ratio and maximum loan-to-value ratio, as defined. As of the date of this filing, we are in compliance with all of the financial covenants, and the full $300 million is available to be drawn on our VFN. 

Our securitized financing facility allows for the issuance of additional term notes in the future to supplement our liquidity. The decision to enter into a particular financing arrangement is made after consideration of various factors including future cash needs, current sources of liquidity, demand for the Company’s debt or equity, and prevailing interest rates.

Cash From Operations 

Fee-Related Earnings—We generate FRE from our investment management business, generally encompassing recurring fee revenue net of associated compensation and administrative expenses. Management fee revenue is generally a predictable and stable revenue stream. Our ability to generate new management fee streams through establishing new investment vehicles and raising investor capital depends on general market conditions and availability of attractive investment opportunities as well as availability of debt capital. 

Incentive Fees—Incentive fees, net of employee allocations, are earned based upon the financial performance of a vehicle above a specified return threshold, which is largely driven by appreciation in value of underlying investments. Incentive fees are recognized as fee revenue when they are no longer probable
