**Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies**

For a further discussion of the Company's accounting policies, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Basis of Presentation*** – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The December 31, 2024 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are comprised of the consolidation of Evercore LP and Evercore LP's wholly-owned and majority-owned direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Evercore Group L.L.C. ("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date.

This investment is subject to currency translation from the Brazilian real to the U.S. dollar, included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

*<u>ABS</u>*

In July 2024, the Company sold its remaining 26% ownership interest in ABS for cash of $18,113. This transaction resulted in a gain of $615 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

This investment resulted in earnings of $2,031 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

*<u>Luminis</u>*

In September 2024, the Company agreed to the redemption of its interest in Luminis, such that it no longer has an equity interest in Luminis following the redemption. The Company received no consideration in respect of the redemption. As a result, the Company incurred a loss associated with the write-off of the remaining carrying value of its investment of $7,305 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, included within Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. This investment was subject to currency translation from the Australian dollar to the U.S. dollar, included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. Accordingly, the redemption resulted in the reclassification of $581 and $77 of cumulative foreign currency translation losses from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Noncontrolling Interest, respectively, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition to Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

This investment resulted in earnings of $78 and $783 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, included within Income from Equity Method Investments on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

*<u>Other</u>*

The Company allocates the purchase price of its equity method investments, in part, to the inherent finite-lived identifiable intangible assets of the investees.

occurring from changes in fair value, as well as its pro rata share of realized gains, losses and carried interest associated with any investment realizations.

A summary of the Company's investments in the private equity funds as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Glisco II, Glisco III and Glisco IV | $1933 | $3569 |
| Trilantic IV and Trilantic V | 1572 | 1862 |
| Total Private Equity Funds | $3505 | $5431 |

---

Net realized and unrealized losses on private equity fund investments were ($25) and ($1,119) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and ($4) and ($105) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. In the event the funds perform poorly, the Company may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of September 30, 2025, there was no previously distributed carried interest received from the funds subject to repayment.

*<u>General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs</u>*

The Company has concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $1,326 and $2,956 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities. The Company's exposure to the obligations of these VIEs is generally limited to its investments in these entities. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $3,509 and $5,138, respectively, which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current and future funds.

***Other Investments***

In certain instances, the Company makes investments in private companies in exchange for equity securities and warrants, or receives equity securities in private companies in exchange for advisory services. These investments, which had a balance of $1,671 and $625 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, are accounted for at their cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes.

**Note 9 – Leases**

***Operating Leases*** – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis, which include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $18,317 and $53,709 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $15,060 and $43,899 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, and variable lease cost, which principally include costs for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other operating expenses of $1,409 and $5,115 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1,662 and $4,566 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amount of $5,987 and $5,886 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The Company has entered into various operating leases for the use of office equipment (primarily computers, printers, copiers and other information technology related equipment). Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office equipment of $1,681 and $5,067 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1,657 and $4,699 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases.

The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $57,596 and $34,150 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, related to its operating leases, which was net of cash received from lease incentives of $5,098 and $1,684 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company has entered into certain lease agreements, primarily for office space, which have not yet commenced and thus are not yet included on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The Company anticipates that these leases will commence in 2025 and 2026 and will have lease terms of 3 to 6 years once they have commenced. The additional future payments under these arrangements are $2,974 as of September 30, 2025.

In September 2024, the Company entered into a binding agreement affirming its intent to lease office space in London, United Kingdom. The Company anticipates signing the lease in 2026, following construction of the building, and anticipates

**Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements**

ASC 820, *"Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures"* ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active 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 a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.

Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities, listed derivatives and U.S. Treasury securities. As required by ASC 820, the Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Periodically, the Company holds investments in corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other debt securities, the estimated fair values of which are based on prices provided by external pricing services. The Company also periodically holds foreign exchange currency forward contracts, the estimated fair value of which is based on foreign currency exchange rates provided by external services.

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

The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair

Interest on the above issuances is payable semi-annually and the notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries. The Company may, at its option, prepay all, or from time to time any part of, the notes (without regard to Series), in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of each of the individual issuances then outstanding at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable "make-whole amount."

Interest on the notes is subject to certain escalation provisions in the event that the leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds. As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of these covenants.

(1)The Company has outstanding Class A, E, I and K LP Units, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one-for-one basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, these LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 2,205 and 2,283 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 2,475 and 2,547 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $8,846 and $24,882 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $6,719 and $17,945 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class A, E, I and K LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A, E, I and K LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods.

(2)Certain shares of the Company's common stock assumed to be issued pursuant to non-vested RSUs, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The shares that would have been included in the treasury stock method calculation if the effect would have been dilutive were 1 for the three months ended September 30, 2024.

(3)The Company has outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K LP Units, and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. The Company also has certain outstanding RSUs which vest contingent upon certain performance thresholds being achieved. See Note 15 for further information. For the purpose of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class K-P Units and these certain outstanding RSUs are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding, as calculated using the Treasury Stock Method, as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period.

The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented.

which may otherwise have been made to the named executive officers of the Company in respect of their service for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Following the distributions, the Class L Interests are cancelled pursuant to their terms.

The Company records expense related to these Class L Interests as part of its accrual for incentive compensation within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

***Stock Incentive Plan***

During 2024, the Company's stockholders approved the Third Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Third Amended 2016 Plan"), which amended the Second Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Third Amended 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes the grant of an additional 6,000 of the Company's Class A Shares and permits the Company to grant to certain employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company's Class A Shares. The Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the Third Amended 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the Third Amended 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plan. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Third Amended 2016 Plan was 6,621 as of September 30, 2025.

The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of deferred cash dividends or unvested RSU awards, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested and vested RSU grants. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award.

The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

*Equity Grants*

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, pursuant to the Third Amended 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 1,798 RSUs that are subject to service-based vesting requirements ("Service-based Awards"). Service-based Awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 had grant date fair values of $193.07 to $313.77 per share, with an average value of $258.02 per share, for an aggregate fair value of $463,812, and generally vest ratably over four years. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 2,093 Service-based Awards vested and 57 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $89,383 and $269,515 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $74,560 and $229,238 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

In addition, in June 2024, the Company granted 30 RSUs which may convert into a maximum of 80 RSUs contingent and based upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through April 1, 2031. The grant date fair value of these awards probable to vest as of September 30, 2025 was $13,176, related to 69 RSUs which were probable of achievement, and compensation expense related to these units was $1,383 and $2,335 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $383 and $470 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

***Deferred Cash***

*Deferred Cash Compensation Program* **–** The Company's deferred cash compensation program provides participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to notional investment portfolios selected by the participant and generally vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. The Company granted $83,007 of deferred cash awards pursuant to the deferred cash compensation program during the first quarter of 2025.

Compensation expense related to the Company's deferred cash compensation program was $38,333 and $115,225 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $40,116 and $128,221 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the Company expects to pay an aggregate of $353,767 related to the Company's deferred cash compensation program at various dates through 2029 and total compensation expense not yet recognized related to these awards was $190,382. The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 28 months. Amounts due pursuant to this program are expensed over the requisite service period of the award and are reflected in Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

*Other Deferred Cash Awards* **–** During the first quarter of 2025, 2024 and 2022, the Company granted $11,410, $6,662 and $19,861, respectively, of deferred cash awards to certain employees. These awards generally vest ratably over one to two years.

The Company also periodically grants performance-based deferred cash awards to certain employees.

Compensation expense related to other deferred cash awards was $4,898 and $10,915 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $1,248 and $7,718 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

***Long-term Incentive Plan***

The Company's Long-term Incentive Plans provide for incentive compensation awards for Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2021 (the "2021 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, 2025 (the "2025 Long-term Incentive Plan", which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in April 2025). As of September 30, 2025, the Company has accrued $143,427 pursuant to the above Long-term Incentive Plans, including $71,997 within Accrued Compensation and Benefits and $71,430 within Other Long-term Liabilities, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition. The performance period for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2024 and in conjunction with this plan, the Company distributed cash payments of $71,522 in the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Remaining amounts due pursuant to these plans are to be paid in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in the first quarter of 2026 and 2027 (for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan), and in the first quarter of 2029, 2030 and 2031 (for the 2025 Long-term Incentive Plan), subject to employment at the time of payment. The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award. The Company recorded compensation expense related to these plans of $21,617 and $48,472 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $10,792 and $30,542 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025, the total remaining expense to be recognized for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2027 is $24,549. As of September 30, 2025, the total remaining expense to be recognized for the 2025 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 14, 2031, based on the current anticipated probable payout for the plan, is $249,956.

***Employee Loans Receivable***

Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years, and in certain circumstances are also subject to the achievement of performance requirements. Generally, these awards, based on the terms, include a requirement of either full or partial repayment by the employee if the service or other requirements of the agreements with the Company are not achieved. In circumstances where the employee meets the Company's minimum credit standards, the Company amortizes these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period, which is generally the period they are subject to forfeiture. Compensation expense related to these awards was $12,597 and $34,138 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $10,591 and $28,923 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, the total compensation cost not yet recognized related to these awards was $69,635.

**Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies**

For a further discussion of the Company's commitments, refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

***Private Equity*** – As of September 30, 2025, the Company had unfunded commitments for capital contributions of $2,584 to private equity funds. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of each private equity fund's investment period, subject to certain conditions. Such commitments are satisfied in cash and are generally required to be made as investment opportunities are consummated by the private equity funds.

***Lines of Credit*** – On July 10, 2025, the Company amended its $85,000 revolving credit facility Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C. ("East") held with PNC Bank, National Association ("PNC") such that the aggregate principal amount was increased to up to $225,000 (the "PNC Facility") to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. The facility is unsecured. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants, that prohibit East and the Company from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions. Drawings for this facility bear interest at Daily SOFR plus 130 basis points and the maturity date was extended to July 10, 2028. There were no drawings under this facility at September 30, 2025.

EGL maintains a subordinated revolving credit facility with PNC, as amended on October 10, 2025, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75,000, to be used as needed in support of capital requirements from time to time of EGL. This facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Evercore LP and other affiliates, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, which provides for certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the PNC Facility. The interest rate provisions are Daily SOFR plus 130 basis points and the maturity date is October 10, 2029. There were no drawings under this facility at September 30, 2025.

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|

| Total Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash shown in the Statement of Cash Flows | $861591 | $542029 |

---

Restricted Cash included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition primarily represents letters of credit which are secured by cash as collateral for the lease of office space and security deposits for certain equipment. The restrictions will lapse when the leases end.

***Self-Funded Medical Insurance Program*** – Effective January 1, 2023, the Company changed its medical insurance plan in the U.S. from a fully insured to a self-funded plan. The Company is liable for the funding of claims under the self-funded plan. The Company also maintains stop-loss insurance for its medical plan to provide coverage for claims over a defined financial threshold. The estimated present value of incurred but not reported claims is $3,585 and $3,268 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which is included within Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

***Foreign Exchange*** – Periodically, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments.

During the third quarter of 2025, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 200,000 British Pounds sterling for $270,600, which settled during the third quarter of 2025, and a foreign currency exchange forward contract to sell 71,250 British Pounds sterling for $96,401, which settled in October 2025. The outstanding contract is recorded at its fair value of $573 within Other Current Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025. The Company recorded a net loss on these contracts of $1,097 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30,000 British Pounds sterling for $36,675, which settled during the first quarter of 2024, and resulted in a loss of $347 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

***Contingencies***

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai, Indonesian and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, *"Contingencies"* ("ASC 450") when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

**NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

(amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted)

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to employment and tax laws, regulations and treaties in various U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. These laws, regulations and treaties are complex, and the manner in which they apply to the Company's facts and circumstances is open to evolving interpretation. Although management believes it has applied these laws, regulations and treaties in a compliant manner, a recent interpretation reached by a judicial authority has challenged the employment tax treatment of members of a partnership which is not affiliated with the Company. While that challenge remains subject to a judicial review process, and the Company and its subsidiaries are not a party to the proceedings, the ultimate outcome may adversely impact the Company's tax position.

**Note 17 – Regulatory Authorities**

EGL is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Under the Alternative Net Capital Requirement, EGL's minimum net capital requirement is $250. EGL's regulatory net capital as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $346,806 and $475,936, respectively, which exceeded the minimum net capital requirement by $346,556 and $475,686, respectively.

Evercore Trust Company, N.A. ("ETC"), which is limited to fiduciary activities, is regulated by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ("OCC") and is a member bank of the Federal Reserve System. The Company, Evercore LP and ETC are subject to written agreements with the OCC that, among other things, require the Company and Evercore LP to maintain at least $5,000 in Tier 1 capital in ETC (or such other amount as the OCC may require) and maintain liquid assets in ETC in an amount at least equal to the greater of $3,500 or 180 days coverage of ETC's operating expenses. The Company was in compliance with the aforementioned agreements as of September 30, 2025.

Evercore U.K., our U.K. Advisory affiliate, and Evercore ISI U.K., our U.K. Equities affiliate, are regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The aggregate regulatory net capital of these affiliates as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $570,360 and $232,039, respectively, which exceeded the minimum requirement by $273,045 and $139,208, respectively.

Certain other non-U.S. subsidiaries are subject to various securities and banking regulations and capital adequacy requirements promulgated by the regulatory and exchange authorities of the countries in which they operate. These subsidiaries are in excess of their local capital adequacy requirements at September 30, 2025.

**Note 18 – Income Taxes**

The Company's Provision for Income Taxes was $59,794 and $62,332 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $34,971 and $56,659 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was 27.5% and 13.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and 28.4% and 17.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate reflects the recognition of net excess tax benefits associated with appreciation in the Company's share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price of $76,450 and $31,976 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 15.9 and 10.0 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for 2025 and 2024 also reflects the effect of certain non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments.

In October 2021, members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") agreed on a two-pillar tax framework to realign international taxation with economic activities, including a coordinated set of rules designed to ensure large multinational enterprises pay a minimum 15% tax rate across all jurisdictions, known as Pillar Two. The U.S. has not yet adopted these rules, but several countries have enacted Pillar Two with an effective date beginning January 1, 2024. The impact of Pillar Two on the Company's effective tax rate during the year was not material and it is not expected to materially impact the Company's effective tax rate in the future.

Additionally, the Company is subject to the income tax effects associated with the global intangible low-taxed income ("GILTI") provisions in the period incurred. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, no additional income tax expense associated with the GILTI provisions has been recognized and it is not expected to be material to the Company's effective tax rate for the year.

The Company recorded an increase in deferred tax assets of $42 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities and Investments and a decrease of $7,457 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The Company

recorded an increase in deferred tax assets of $37 associated with changes in Unrealized Gain (Loss) on Securities and Investments and a decrease of $2,247 associated with changes in Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment Gain (Loss), in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

The Company classifies interest relating to tax matters and tax penalties as a component of income tax expense in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2025, there were $125 of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, $102 would affect the effective tax rate. Related to the unrecognized tax benefits, the Company accrued interest of $2 during the three months ended September 30, 2025.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted House Resolution 1 of the 119th Congress ("the Act"). The Act makes permanent key elements of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, including 100% bonus depreciation, domestic research cost expensing, and beginning after December 31, 2025, updates for Net CFC Testing Income (formerly GILTI). The Company is still evaluating the impact of the Act which is not expected to materially impact the Company's effective tax rate for the year.

The Company's resources are allocated and performance is assessed by the Company's CEO and Chairman, whom the Company has determined to be the CODM. For both segments, the CODM reviews net revenues and pre-tax income against current and past performance on a quarterly basis when making decisions about allocating resources to the segments, inclusive of decisions regarding new hires, expansion into new geographical locations and entering into material contracts, including lease agreements and significant investments in technology. The CODM also uses these measures in determining appropriate levels of employee compensation.

No client accounted for more than 10% of the Company's Consolidated Net Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The following information presents each segment's contribution.

---

*The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Evercore Inc.'s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.*

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This report contains, or incorporates by reference, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, our operations and financial performance. In some cases, you can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as "outlook," "backlog," "believes," "expects," "potential," "probable," "continues," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "approximately," "predicts," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "anticipates" or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this report are forward-looking statements and are based on various underlying assumptions and expectations and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in our business.

Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements and, based on various underlying assumptions and expectations, are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies and anticipated trends in Evercore's business. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" discussed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included or incorporated by reference in this report. In addition, new risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise except as required by law.

**Key Financial Measures**

*Revenue*

Total revenues reflect revenues from our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management business segments that include fees for services, transaction-related client reimbursements and other revenue. Net revenues reflect total revenues less interest expense.

*Investment Banking & Equities.* Our Investment Banking & Equities segment earns fees from its clients for providing advice on mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, capital raising, leveraged buyouts, liability management and restructurings, private funds advisory and private capital markets services, activism and defense and similar corporate finance matters, and from underwriting and private placement activities, as well as commissions, fees and principal revenues from research and sales and trading activities. The amount and timing of the fees paid vary by the type of engagement or services provided. In general, advisory fees are paid at the time we sign an engagement letter, during the course of the engagement or when an engagement is completed. The majority of our revenue consists of advisory fees for which realizations are dependent on the successful completion of client transactions. A transaction can fail to be completed for many reasons which are outside of our control, including failure of parties to agree upon final terms with the counterparty, to secure necessary board or shareholder approvals, to secure necessary financing, to achieve necessary regulatory approvals, or due to adverse market conditions. In the case of bankruptcy engagements, fees may be subject to court approval. Underwriting fees are recognized when the offering has been deemed to be completed and placement fees are generally recognized at the time of the client's acceptance of capital or capital commitments. Commissions and Related Revenue includes commissions, which are recorded on a trade-date basis or, in the case of payments under commission sharing arrangements, on the date earned. Commissions and Related Revenue also includes subscription fees for the sale of research, as well as revenues from trades primarily executed on a riskless principal basis. Cash received before the subscription period ends is initially recorded as deferred revenue (a contract liability) and recognized as revenue over the remaining subscription period.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Revenue trends in our advisory business generally are correlated to the volume of merger and acquisitions ("M&A") activity, restructuring activity, which generally tends to be counter-cyclical to M&A, and capital advisory activity. Demand for these capabilities can vary in any given year or quarter for a number of reasons. For example, changes in our market share or the ability of our clients to close certain large transactions can cause our revenue results to diverge from the level of overall M&A, restructuring or capital advisory activity. Revenue trends in our equities business are correlated, in part, to market volumes, which generally decrease in periods of low market volatility or unfavorable market or economic conditions. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

*Investment Management.* Our Investment Management segment includes operations related to the Wealth Management business and interests in private equity funds which we do not manage. Revenue sources primarily include management fees, fiduciary fees and gains (or losses) on our investments.

Management fees for third party clients generally represent a percentage of assets under management ("AUM"). Fiduciary fees, which are generally a function of the size and complexity of each engagement, are individually negotiated. Gains and losses include both realized and unrealized gains and losses on principal investments, including those arising from our equity interest in investment partnerships.

*Transaction-Related Client Reimbursements*. In our Investment Banking & Equities segment, we incur various transaction-related expenditures, such as travel expenses and professional fees, in the course of performing our services. Pursuant to the engagement letters with our advisory clients, these expenditures may be reimbursable. We define these expenses, which are associated with revenue activities earned over time, as transaction-related expenses and record such expenditures as incurred and record revenue when it is determined that clients have an obligation to reimburse us for such transaction-related expenses. Client expense reimbursements are recorded as revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on the later of the date an engagement letter is executed or the date we pay or accrue the expense.

*Other Revenue and Interest Expense.* Other Revenue includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* Interest income, including accretion, and income (losses) on investment securities, including our investment funds (which are used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program), certificates of deposit, cash and cash equivalents and long-term accounts receivable

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A gain on the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS in the third quarter of 2024. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• A loss related to the release of cumulative foreign exchange losses resulting from the redemption of our interest in Luminis in the third quarter of 2024. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gains (losses) resulting from foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and foreign currency exchange forward contracts used as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Realized and unrealized gains and losses on interests in private equity funds which we do not manage

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjustments to amounts due pursuant to our tax receivable agreement, subsequent to its initial establishment, related to changes in enacted tax rates

Interest Expense includes interest expense associated with our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements.

*Expenses*

*Employee Compensation and Benefits.* We include all payments for services rendered by our employees, as well as profits interests in our businesses that have been accounted for as compensation, in employee compensation and benefits expense.

We maintain compensation programs, including base salary, cash, deferred cash and equity bonus awards and benefits programs and manage compensation to estimates of competitive levels based on market conditions and performance. Our level of compensation, including deferred compensation, reflects our plan to maintain competitive compensation levels to retain key

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

personnel, and it reflects the impact of newly-hired senior professionals upon their start date, including related grants of equity and other awards, which are generally valued at their grant date and recorded in employee compensation and benefits expense over the requisite service period.

Increasing the number of high-caliber, experienced senior level employees is critical to our growth efforts. In our advisory businesses, these hires, which begin their service throughout any given year, generally do not begin to generate significant revenue in the year they are hired.

Our annual compensation program includes share-based compensation awards and deferred cash awards as a component of the annual bonus awards for certain employees. These awards, the amount granted of which is a function of performance and market conditions, are generally subject to annual vesting requirements over a four-year period beginning at the date of grant, which occurs in the first quarter of each year; accordingly, the expense is generally amortized over the stated vesting period, subject to retirement eligibility. With respect to annual awards, our retirement eligibility criteria generally stipulates that an employee is eligible for retirement if the employee has at least five years of continuous service, is at least 55 years of age and has a combined age and years of service of at least 65 years, or if an employee has at least 10 years of continuous service and is at least 60 years of age. Retirement eligibility allows for continued vesting of awards after employees depart from the Company, provided they give the minimum advance notice, which is generally six months to one year and comply with certain post-termination obligations.

We estimate forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of the awards. We periodically monitor our estimated forfeiture rate and adjust our assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change.

In January 2023, 2024 and 2025, our Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests to certain of our named executive officers, pursuant to which the named executive officers receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, paid in the first quarters of 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively. Distributions pursuant to these interests are made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to our named executive officers in respect of their service for 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively. Following the distributions, the Class L Interests are cancelled pursuant to their terms. We record expense equal to the amount of these distributions in Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and reflect accrued liabilities related to these distributions in Accrued Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition.

Our Long-term Incentive Plans provide for incentive compensation awards for Investment Banking Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2021, pursuant to the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan, and January 1, 2025, pursuant to the 2025 Long-term Incentive Plan (which was approved by our Board of Directors in April 2025). The performance period for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2024 and in conjunction with this plan, we made a cash distribution in the first quarter of 2025. Remaining amounts due pursuant to these plans are due to be paid in cash or Class A Shares, at our discretion, in the first quarter of 2026 and 2027 (for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan), and in the first quarter of 2029, 2030 and 2031 (for the 2025 Long-term Incentive Plan), subject to employment at the time of payment. We periodically assess the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expense the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award.

From time to time, we also grant incentive awards to certain individuals which include both performance and service-based vesting requirements and, in certain awards, market-based requirements. These include Class K-P Units issued by Evercore LP and certain RSU and deferred cash awards. See Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We believe that the ratio of Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense to Net Revenues is an important measure to assess the annual cost of compensation relative to performance and provides a meaningful basis for comparison of compensation and benefits expense between present, historical and future years.

*Non-Compensation.* Our Non-Compensation expenses include costs for occupancy and equipment rental, professional fees, travel and related expenses, technology and information services, depreciation and amortization, execution, clearing and custody fees, acquisition and transition costs and other operating expenses.

*Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs.* Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

*Income from Equity Method Investments*

Our share of the income (loss) from our equity interests in Atalanta Sosnoff and Seneca Evercore, and our former equity interests in ABS (through July 2024) and Luminis (through September 2024) are included within Income from Equity Method Investments, as a component of Income Before Income Taxes, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Provision for Income Taxes*

We account for income taxes in accordance with ASC 740, *"Income Taxes"*, which requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of our assets and liabilities. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies associated with the appreciation or depreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above or below the original grant price are recognized in our Provision for Income Taxes. In addition, net deferred tax assets are impacted by changes to statutory tax rates in the period of enactment. See Note 18 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Noncontrolling Interest*

We record noncontrolling interest relating to the ownership interests of certain of our current and former Senior Managing Directors and other officers and their estate planning vehicles in Evercore LP, as well as the portions of our operating subsidiaries not owned by Evercore. Evercore Inc. is the sole general partner of Evercore LP and has a majority economic interest in Evercore LP. As a result, Evercore Inc. consolidates Evercore LP and records a noncontrolling interest for the economic interest in Evercore LP held by the limited partners.

We generally allocate net income or loss to participating noncontrolling interests held at Evercore LP and at the operating entity level, where required, by multiplying the relative ownership interest of the noncontrolling interest holders for the period by the net income or loss of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates. In circumstances where the governing documents of the entity to which the noncontrolling interest relates require special allocations of profits or losses to the controlling and noncontrolling interest holders, the net income or loss of these entities is allocated based on these special allocations. See Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

The following is a discussion of our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, we employed approximately 2,525 and 2,395 people, respectively.

***Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 versus September 30, 2024***

Net Income Attributable to Evercore Inc. was $144.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $66.2 million, or 84%, compared to $78.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The changes in our operating results during these periods are described below.

Net Revenues were $1.04 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $304.7 million, or 41%, versus Net Revenues of $734.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Advisory Fees increased $290.7 million, or 49%, Commissions and Related Revenue increased $8.3 million, or 15%, and Underwriting Fees decreased $0.4 million, or 1%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. Asset Management and Administration Fees increased $1.9 million, or 9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. See "Business Segments" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for further information.

Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, was $33.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $7.1 million, or 27%, versus $26.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting higher performance of our investment funds portfolio, as well as higher returns on our fixed income investment portfolios, which primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills, driven by higher portfolio balances during the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Interest Expense was $7.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.9 million, or 69%, versus $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. See Note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $680.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $192.6 million, or 39%, versus $488.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 65.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 66.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was impacted by the factors above, as well as higher net revenues during the current year period compared to the prior year period.

Non-compensation expenses were $142.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $25.1 million, or 21%, versus $116.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and

research services in the third quarter of 2025, an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, and an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $57.0 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, versus $49.5 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a 15% increase.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, reflecting higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff during the three months ended September 30, 2025, partially offset by lower earnings from Seneca Evercore during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and lower income from Luminis following the redemption of our interest during the third quarter of 2024. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was $59.8 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 27.5%. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $35.0 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 28.4%. The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2025 is primarily attributable to a $94.2 million increase in pre-tax income, as well as an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest primarily reflects higher income at Evercore LP during the three months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 13 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 versus September 30, 2024***

The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program.

Interest Expense was $15.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $2.9 million, or 23%, versus $12.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025. See Note 11 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $1.69 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $354.4 million, or 27%, versus $1.33 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards. Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of Net Revenues was 65.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 66.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Non-compensation expenses were $400.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $52.7 million, or 15%, versus $348.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services, license fees and consulting costs, an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount. Non-Compensation expenses per employee were approximately $164.3 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, versus $152.2 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an 8% increase.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.5 million, or 47%, versus $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the sale of our interest in ABS and the redemption of our interest in Luminis in 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff in 2025. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $62.3 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 13.0%. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $56.7 million, which reflected an effective tax rate of 17.7%. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 principally reflects the net impact associated with the appreciation in our share price upon vesting of employee share-based awards above the original grant price of $76.4 million and $32.0 million, respectively, which resulted in a reduction in the effective tax rate of 15.9 and 10.0 percentage points for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This resulting decrease in effective tax rate was partially offset by an increase in non-deductible expenses and state and local apportionment adjustments in 2025.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest was $30.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $25.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Investment Banking & Equities Results of Operations*

***Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 versus September 30, 2024***

Net Revenues were $1.02 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $303.4 million, or 43%, versus $712.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase of $290.7 million, or 49%, in Advisory Fees, reflecting an increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2025 across both M&A and non-M&A assignments, as well as an increase in revenue earned from large transactions during the third quarter of 2025. Commissions and Related Revenue increased $8.3 million, or 15%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting higher trading commissions driven by increased trading volume and higher subscription fees during the third quarter of 2025. Underwriting Fees decreased $0.4 million, or 1%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting a decrease in the number of transactions we participated in, partially offset by an increase in the average fee size of the transactions we participated in during the third quarter of 2025. Other Revenue, net, increased $4.8 million, or 23%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting higher performance of our investment funds portfolio, as well as higher returns on our fixed income investment portfolios, which primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills, driven by higher portfolio balances during the third quarter of 2025 compared to 2024. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation

program. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense primarily related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $664.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $188.6 million, or 40%, versus $476.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher compensation expense related to senior new hires.

Non-compensation expenses were $137.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $24.7 million, or 22%, versus $113.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Non-compensation expenses increased from the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with license fees and research services in the third quarter of 2025, an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount, and an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

Income (Loss) from Equity Method Investments was $0.01 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $0.2 million, or 95%, versus $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting lower earnings from Seneca Evercore during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and lower income from Luminis following the redemption of our interest during the third quarter of 2024. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

***Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 versus September 30, 2024***

Net Revenues were $2.50 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $558.4 million, or 29%, versus $1.94 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by an increase of $547.8 million, or 34%, in Advisory Fees, reflecting an increase in revenue during 2025 across both M&A and non-M&A assignments, as well as an increase in revenue earned from large transactions during 2025. Commissions and Related Revenue increased $20.2 million, or 13%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting higher trading commissions driven by increased trading volume and higher subscription fees during 2025. Underwriting Fees decreased $0.5 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting a decrease in the number of transactions we participated in, offset by an increase in the average fee size of the transactions we participated in during 2025. Other Revenue, net, decreased $9.1 million, or 14%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting lower performance of our investment funds portfolio, as well as lower returns on our fixed income investment portfolios, which primarily consist of U.S. Treasury bills, driven by lower rates during 2025 compared to 2024. The investment funds portfolio is used as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. The decrease was also partially attributed to an increase in interest expense primarily related to the issuance of new senior notes in July 2025.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $1.65 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $346.8 million, or 27%, versus $1.30 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in the amount of compensation recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 principally reflects a higher accrual for incentive compensation, higher base salaries and higher amortization of prior period deferred compensation awards.

Non-compensation expenses were $388.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $51.4 million, or 15%, versus $336.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Non-compensation expenses increased from the prior year period, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services, principally reflecting higher expenses associated with research services, license fees and consulting costs, an increase in occupancy and equipment rental expense, primarily related to an increase in office space, and an increase in travel and related expenses, largely due to higher levels of business activity and increased headcount.

Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, of $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 related to the write-off of the remaining carrying value of our investment in Luminis in connection with the redemption of our interest.

*Investment Management Results of Operations*

Our Investment Management segment includes the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wealth Management – conducted through EWM and ETC. Fee-based revenues from EWM are primarily earned on a percentage of AUM, while ETC primarily earns fees from negotiated trust services.

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Private Equity – conducted through our investment interests in private equity funds. We maintain a limited partner's interest in Glisco II, Glisco III and Glisco IV (together the "Glisco Funds"), as well as Glisco Manager Holdings LP and the general partners of the Glisco Funds. We receive our portion of the management fees earned by Glisco Partners Inc. ("Glisco") from Glisco Manager Holdings LP. We are passive investors and do not participate in the management of any Glisco sponsored funds. We are also passive investors in Trilantic IV and Trilantic V. In the event the private equity funds perform below certain thresholds, we may be obligated to repay certain carried interest previously distributed. As of September 30, 2025, there was no previously distributed carried interest received from the funds subject to repayment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• We also hold an interest in Atalanta Sosnoff that is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and previously held an interest in ABS (through July 2024). The results of these investments are included within Income from Equity Method Investments. During the third quarter of 2024, we sold the remaining portion of our interest in ABS. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

*Assets Under Management*

AUM in our Wealth Management business of $15.4 billion at September 30, 2025 increased $1.5 billion, or 10%, compared to $13.9 billion at December 31, 2024. The amounts of AUM presented in the table below reflect the fair value of assets which we manage on behalf of Wealth Management clients. As defined in ASC 820, valuations performed for Level 1 investments are based on quoted prices obtained from active markets generated by third parties and Level 2 investments are valued through the use of models based on either direct or indirect observable inputs or other valuation methodologies performed by third parties to determine fair value. For both the Level 1 and Level 2 investments, we obtain both active quotes from nationally recognized exchanges and third-party pricing services to determine market or fair value quotes, respectively. For Level 3 investments, pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. Wealth Management maintained 77% of Level 1 investments, 19% of Level 2 investments and 4% of Level 3 investments as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The fees that we receive for providing investment advisory and management services are primarily driven by the level and composition of AUM. Accordingly, client flows, market movements, and changes in our product mix will impact the level of management fees we receive from our Wealth Management business. Fees vary with the type of assets managed and the channel in which they are managed, with higher fees earned on equity assets and alternative investment funds, such as hedge funds and private equity funds, and lower fees earned on fixed income and cash management products. Clients will increase or reduce the aggregate amount of AUM that we manage for a number of reasons, including changes in the level of assets that they have available for investment purposes, their overall asset allocation strategy, our relative performance versus competitors offering similar investment products and the quality of our service. The fees we earn are also impacted by our investment performance, as the appreciation or depreciation in the value of the assets that we manage directly impacts our fees.

Our Wealth Management business serves individuals, families and related institutions delivering customized investment management, financial planning, and trust and custody services. Investment portfolios are tailored to meet the investment objectives of individual clients and reflect a blend of equity, fixed income and other products. Fees charged to clients reflect the composition of the assets managed and the services provided. Investment performance in the Wealth Management business is measured against appropriate indices based on the composition of AUM, most frequently the S&P 500 and a composite fixed income index principally reflecting BarCap and MSCI indices.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, AUM for Wealth Management increased 10%, reflecting an 8% increase from market appreciation and a 2% increase from net inflows. Performance as of September 30, 2025 reflected:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wealth Management lagged the S&P 500 on a 1 and 3-year basis by approximately 8% and 4%, respectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The S&P 500 was up approximately 18% and 25% on a 1 and 3-year basis, respectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wealth Management lagged the fixed income composite on a 1 and 3-year basis by approximately 0.4% and 0.2%, respectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ The fixed income composite was up approximately 3% and 4% on a 1 and 3-year basis, respectively

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The S&P 500 and the fixed income composite were up approximately 15% and 4%, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025

AUM from our unconsolidated affiliate, Atalanta Sosnoff, increased 10% compared to December 31, 2024.

***Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 versus September 30, 2024***

Net Revenues were $22.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.2 million, or 6%, versus $21.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Asset Management and Administration Fees earned from the management of Wealth Management client portfolios increased $1.9 million, or 9%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, as associated AUM increased 11%, primarily from market appreciation as well as net inflows.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $16.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $4.0 million, or 33%, versus $12.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting a higher accrual for incentive compensation and higher base salaries, resulting from higher headcount.

Non-Compensation expenses were $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.4 million, or 10%, versus $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services and professional fees.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $0.2 million, or 24%, versus $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff in the third quarter of 2025. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

the management of Wealth Management client portfolios increased $5.7 million, or 10%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as associated AUM increased 11%, primarily from market appreciation as well as net inflows.

Employee Compensation and Benefits Expense was $41.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $7.7 million, or 23%, versus $33.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting a higher accrual for incentive compensation and higher base salaries, resulting from higher headcount.

Non-Compensation expenses were $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1.3 million, or 12%, versus $11.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in technology and information services and professional fees.

Income from Equity Method Investments was $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.4 million, or 34%, versus $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily reflecting the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS during the third quarter of 2024. This decrease was partially offset by higher earnings from Atalanta Sosnoff in 2025. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

**Cash Flows**

Our operating cash flows are primarily influenced by the timing and receipt of fees and the payment of operating expenses, including incentive compensation to our employees and interest expense on our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, and the payment of income taxes. Advisory and Underwriting fees are generally collected within 90 days of invoice. Placement fees are generally collected within 180 days of invoice and a portion of certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses may be collected in a period exceeding one year. Commissions earned from our agency trading activities are generally received from our clearing broker within 11 days. Fees from our Wealth Management business are generally invoiced and collected within 90 days. We traditionally pay a substantial portion of incentive compensation during the first three months of each calendar year with respect to the prior year's results and prior years' deferred compensation. Likewise, payments to fund investments related to hedging our deferred cash compensation plans are generally funded in the first three months of each calendar year. Our investing and financing cash flows are primarily influenced by activities to invest our cash in highly liquid securities or bank certificates of deposit, deploy capital to fund investments and acquisitions, repurchase outstanding Class A Shares (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and/or noncontrolling interest in Evercore LP, as well as our other subsidiaries, payment of dividends, other periodic distributions to our stakeholders and to raise capital through the issuance of stock or debt. We generally make dividend payments and other distributions on a quarterly basis. If required, we may periodically draw down on our lines of credit to balance the timing of our operating, investing and financing cash flow needs. A summary of our operating, investing and financing cash flows is as follows:

***Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025.*** Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $861.6 million at September 30, 2025, a decrease of $20.5 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $882.1 million at December 31, 2024. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $449.0 million, primarily related to earnings, partially offset by the payment of 2024 bonus awards and deferred cash compensation, which contributed to a decrease to Accrued Compensation and Benefits on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025. Cash of $88.2 million was used by investing activities, primarily related to net purchases of certificates of deposit and purchases of furniture, equipment and leasehold improvements, partially offset by net proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities. Financing activities during the period used cash of $409.2 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends, the $38.0 million repayment of our 2021 Private Placement Notes and distributions made to noncontrolling interest holders, partially offset by the $250.0 million issuance of our 2025 Private Placement Notes. Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

***Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024.*** Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash were $542.0 million at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $63.5 million versus Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash of $605.5 million at December 31, 2023. Operating activities resulted in a net inflow of $301.8 million, primarily related to earnings, partially offset by the payment of 2023 bonus awards and deferred cash compensation, which contributed to a decrease to Accrued Compensation and Benefits on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024. Cash of $179.1 million was provided by investing activities, primarily related to net proceeds from sales and maturities of investment securities, as well as proceeds received from the sale of the remaining portion of our interest in ABS during the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by net purchases of certificates of deposit and purchases of equipment and leasehold improvements. Financing activities during the period used cash of $550.7 million, primarily for purchases of treasury stock (including for the net settlement of RSUs) and noncontrolling interests, the payment of dividends and distributions made to noncontrolling interest holders. Cash is also impacted due to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuation when translating non-U.S. currencies to U.S. Dollars.

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

*General*

Our current assets principally include Cash and Cash Equivalents, Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, Accounts Receivable and contract assets, included in Other Current Assets, relating to revenues from our Investment Banking & Equities and Investment Management segments. Our current liabilities principally include accrued expenses, accrued liabilities, accrued employee compensation and short-term borrowings. We traditionally have made payments for employee bonus awards and year-end distributions to partners in the first quarter of the year with respect to the prior year's results. In addition, payments in respect of deferred cash compensation arrangements and related investments are also made in the first quarter. From time to time, advances and/or commitments may also be granted to new employees at or near the date they begin employment, or to existing employees for the purpose of incentive or retention. Cash distributions related to partnership tax allocations are made to the partners of Evercore LP and certain other entities in accordance with our corporate estimated payment calendar; these payments are generally made quarterly. In addition, dividends on Class A Shares, and related distributions to partners of Evercore LP, are paid when and if declared by the Board of Directors, which is generally quarterly.

We regularly monitor our liquidity position, including cash, other significant working capital, current assets and liabilities, long-term liabilities, lease commitments and related fixed assets, principal investment commitments related to our Investment Management business, dividends on Class A Shares, partnership distributions and other capital transactions, as well as other matters relating to liquidity and compliance with capital requirements and restrictions of our regulated legal entities. Our liquidity is highly dependent on our revenue stream from our operations, principally from our Investment Banking & Equities segment, which is primarily a function of closing client transactions and earning success fees, the timing and realization of which is irregular and dependent upon factors that are not subject to our control. Our revenue stream funds the payment of our expenses, including annual bonus payments, a portion of which are guaranteed, deferred compensation arrangements, interest expense on our Notes Payable, lines of credit and other financing arrangements, as well as payments for income taxes. Payments made for income taxes may be reduced by deductions taken for the increase in tax basis of our investment in Evercore LP. Certain of these tax deductions, when realized, require payment under our long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements. We intend to fund these payments from cash and cash equivalents on hand, principally derived from cash flows from operations. These tax deductions, when realized, will result in cash otherwise required to satisfy tax obligations becoming available for other purposes. Our Management Committee meets regularly to monitor our liquidity and cash positions against our short and long-term obligations, as well as our capital requirements and commitments, including

deferred compensation arrangements. The result of this review contributes to management's recommendation to the Board of Directors as to the level of quarterly dividend payments, if any, as well as the level of long-term borrowings required.

As a financial services firm, our businesses are materially affected by conditions in the global financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world. Revenue generated by our advisory activities is related to the number and value of the transactions in which we are involved. In addition, revenue related to our equities business is driven by market volumes and institutional investor trends, such as the trend to passive investment strategies. During periods of unfavorable market or economic conditions - which may result from the current or anticipated impact of tariffs and related inflation, changes in the level of interest rates, changes in the availability of financing, supply chain disruptions, an evolving regulatory environment, climate change, extreme weather events or natural disasters, the emergence or continuation of widespread health emergencies or pandemics, cyberattacks or campaigns, military conflict, including escalating international tensions, terrorism or other geopolitical events - the number and value of M&A transactions, as well as market volumes in equities, generally decrease, and they generally increase during periods of favorable market or economic conditions. Restructuring activity generally is counter-cyclical to M&A activity. In addition, during periods of unfavorable market conditions our Investment Management business may be impacted by reduced equity valuations and generate relatively lower revenue because fees we receive, either directly or through our affiliates, typically are in part based on the market value of underlying publicly-traded securities. Our profitability may also be adversely affected by our fixed costs and the possibility that we would be unable to scale back other costs within a time frame, and in an amount sufficient, to match any decreases in revenue relating to changes in market and economic conditions. Likewise, our liquidity may be adversely impacted by our contractual obligations, including lease obligations and obligations to pay principal and interest on our Notes Payable. Reduced equity valuations resulting from future adverse economic events and/or market conditions may impact our performance and may result in future net redemptions of AUM from our Investment Management clients, which would generally result in lower revenues and cash flows. These adverse conditions could also have an impact on our goodwill impairment assessment, which is done annually, as of November 30<sup>th</sup>, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred.

Global trade policy, the potential effects of the U.S. Government shutdown and geopolitical tensions have led to macroeconomic uncertainty and market volatility. These evolving conditions may impact the transaction environment in the near to medium term and/or result in an elongation of the timing of transaction closings. We will continue to assess the potential ongoing impacts of these factors, including the regular monitoring of our cash levels, liquidity, regulatory capital requirements, debt covenants and our other contractual obligations. See "Results of Operations" above for further information.

We assess each of our equity method investments for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. These circumstances could include unfavorable market conditions or the loss of key personnel of the investee.

For a further discussion of risks related to our business, refer to Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

*Treasury Purchases* 

We periodically repurchase Class A Shares and/or LP Units into Treasury (including through the net settlement of equity awards) in order to offset the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as compensation (see Note 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information), or amounts in excess of that if management's review, discussed above, determines adequate cash is available. The amount of cash required for these share repurchases is a function of the mix of equity and deferred cash compensation awarded for the annual bonus awards (see further discussion on deferred compensation under *Other Commitments* below). In addition, we may, from time to time, purchase noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries.

On February 22, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we were able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $1.4 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 10.0 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. In addition, on April 29, 2025, our Board of Directors authorized (in addition to the net settlement of equity awards) the repurchase of Class A Shares and/or LP Units so that from that date forward, we are able to repurchase an aggregate of the lesser of $1.6 billion worth of Class A Shares and/or LP Units and 8.0 million Class A Shares and/or LP Units. Under this share repurchase program, shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual amount of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including our liquidity position, legal requirements, price, economic and market conditions and the objective to reduce the dilutive effect of equity awards granted as

compensation to employees. This program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not have a specified expiration date. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 968,477 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $246.16, for $238.4 million, pursuant to our repurchase program.

In addition, we periodically buy shares into treasury from our employees in order to allow them to satisfy their minimum tax requirements for share deliveries under our share equity plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased 943,692 Class A Shares, at an average cost per share of $283.77, for $267.8 million, primarily related to minimum tax withholding requirements of share deliveries.

The aggregate 1,912,169 Class A Shares repurchased during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were acquired for aggregate purchase consideration of $506.2 million, at an average cost per share of $264.72.

*Noncontrolling Interest Purchases*

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.1% of the EWM Class A Units for $1.3 million. We also committed to purchase an additional 0.5% of interests from individuals in equal tranches over the next three years, at fair value at the time of the purchase. These transactions resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $0.2 million and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $2.8 million on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025. We recorded $0.8 million and $1.3 million in Payable to Employees and Related Parties and Other Long-term Liabilities, respectively, on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025, reflecting the current fair value of amounts committed to be purchased in the future and accrued distributions related to those interests.

We incurred expense of $0.5 million within Interest Expense on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 in conjunction with these arrangements.

During the second quarter of 2024, we purchased, at fair value, an additional 0.3% of the EWM Class A Units for $1.0 million. This purchase resulted in a decrease to Noncontrolling Interest of $0.1 million and a decrease to Additional Paid-In Capital of $1.0 million on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2024.

*Private Placement Notes*

On March 30, 2016, we issued an aggregate of $170.0 million of senior notes, including: $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.88% Series A Notes which were due March 30, 2021, $67.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.23% Series B Notes which were originally due March 30, 2023, $48.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.48% Series C Notes and $17.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.58% Series D Notes, pursuant to the 2016 Note Purchase Agreement, amended on July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

On August 1, 2019, we issued $175.0 million and £25.0 million of senior unsecured notes through private placement. These notes include: $75.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.34% Series E Notes, $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.44% Series F Notes, $40.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.54% Series G Notes and £25.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 3.33% Series H Notes, each of which were issued pursuant to the 2019 Note Purchase Agreement, amended on July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

On March 29, 2021, we issued $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 1.97% Series I Notes which were due August 1, 2025, pursuant to the 2021 Note Purchase Agreement, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. In August 2025, we repaid the $38.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Series I Notes.

On June 28, 2022, we issued $67.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.61% Series J Notes, pursuant to the 2022 Note Purchase Agreement, amended on July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933.

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

On July 24, 2025, we issued an aggregate of $250.0 million of senior notes, including: $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.17% Series K Notes and $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.47% Series L Notes, pursuant to the 2025 Note Purchase Agreement dated as of July 10, 2025, among the Company and the purchasers party thereto in a private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933. We intend to use a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance and sale of the 2025 Private Placement Notes to repay maturing notes in the next twelve months issued under prior note purchase agreements. The remaining net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.

Interest on the above issuances is payable semi-annually and the notes are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries. We may, at our option, prepay all, or from time to time any part of, the notes (without regard to Series), in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of each of the individual issuances then outstanding at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus an applicable "make-whole amount." The 2025 Private Placement Notes also allow for prepayment within six months of maturity without an applicable "make-whole amount." Upon the occurrence of a change of control, the holders of the notes will have the right to require us to prepay the entire unpaid principal amounts held by each holder of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the prepayment date. The respective Note Purchase Agreements contain customary covenants, including financial covenants requiring compliance with a maximum leverage ratio, a minimum tangible net worth and a minimum interest coverage ratio, and customary events of default. Interest on the notes is subject to certain escalation provisions in the event that the leverage ratio exceeds certain thresholds. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all of these covenants.

*Lines of Credit* 

On July 10, 2025, we amended our $85.0 million revolving credit facility East held with PNC such that the aggregate principal amount was increased to up to $225.0 million to be used for working capital and other corporate activities. The facility is unsecured. In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants, that prohibit East and us from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions. Drawings bear interest at Daily SOFR plus 130 basis points and the maturity date was extended to July 10, 2028. There were no drawings under this facility at September 30, 2025.

EGL maintains a subordinated revolving credit facility with PNC, as amended on October 10, 2025, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $75.0 million, to be used as needed in support of capital requirements from time to time of EGL. This facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Evercore LP and other affiliates, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, which provides for certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the PNC Facility. The interest rate provisions are Daily SOFR plus 130 basis points and the maturity date is October 10, 2029. There were no drawings under this facility at September 30, 2025.

In addition, EGL's clearing broker provides temporary funding for the settlement of securities transactions.

*Other Commitments*

We have long-term obligations for operating lease commitments, principally related to office space, which expire on various dates through 2035. See Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for anticipated current and future payments under these arrangements.

We have a long-term liability, Amounts Due Pursuant to Tax Receivable Agreements, which requires payments to certain current and former Senior Managing Directors.

Pursuant to deferred compensation and deferred consideration arrangements, we expect to make cash payments in future periods, including related to our Long-term Incentive Plans, Deferred Cash Compensation Program and other deferred compensation arrangements. Further, we make investments to hedge the economic risk of amounts due under our Deferred Cash Compensation Program. For further information, including timing of payments, see Notes 7 and 15 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Certain of our subsidiaries are regulated entities and are subject to capital requirements. For further information see Note 17 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

We had total commitments (not reflected on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition) relating to future capital contributions to private equity funds of $2.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We may be required to fund these commitments at any time through June 2028, depending on the timing and level of

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

investments by the private equity funds. We expect to fund these commitments with cash flows from operations. See Note 16 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We do not invest in any off-balance sheet vehicles that provide liquidity, capital resources, market or credit risk support, or engage in any leasing activities that expose us to any liability that is not reflected in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2025, our current and former Senior Managing Directors owned an aggregate of approximately 1.3 million vested Class A LP Units, 0.3 million vested Class E LP Units, 0.4 million vested Class I LP Units and 0.2 million vested Class K LP Units. In addition, 1.1 million unvested Class K-P Units, which convert into a number of Class K LP Units based on the achievement of certain market and service conditions and defined benchmark results, were outstanding as of September 30, 2025. We have an obligation to exchange vested Class A, E, I and K LP Units to Class A Common Stock upon the request of the holder.

Our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025 included $851.9 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents and $1.57 billion of Investment Securities and Certificates of Deposit, which are generally comprised of highly-liquid investments. For further information regarding other cash commitments and the timing of payments, refer to *"General"* above.

**Market Risk and Credit Risk**

We, in general, are not a capital-intensive organization and as such, are not subject to significant market or credit risks. Nevertheless, we have established procedures to assess both the market and credit risk, as well as specific investment risk, exchange rate risk and credit risk related to receivables.

*Market and Investment Risk*

We hold equity securities and invest in exchange-traded funds principally as an economic hedge against our deferred cash compensation program. As of September 30, 2025, the fair value of our investments with these products, based on closing prices, was $171.5 million. We had net realized and unrealized gains of $12.4 million and $21.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, from our exchange-traded funds portfolio. See Note 7 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10%, 20% and 30% adverse change in the market value of the investments would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $17.2 million, $34.3 million and $51.5 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

*Private Equity Funds*

Through our principal investments in private equity funds and our ability to earn carried interest from these funds, we face exposure to changes in the estimated fair value of the companies in which these funds invest. Valuations and analysis regarding our investments in Trilantic and Glisco are performed by their respective professionals, and thus we are not involved in determining the fair value for the portfolio companies of such funds. See Note 8 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

We estimate that a hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the private equity funds would have resulted in a decrease in pre-tax income of approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

*Exchange Rate Risk*

We have foreign operations, through our subsidiaries and affiliates, primarily in Europe and Asia, as well as provide services to clients in other jurisdictions, which creates foreign exchange rate risk. We have not entered into any transactions to hedge our exposure to foreign exchange fluctuations in these subsidiaries through the use of derivative instruments or otherwise. An appreciation or depreciation of any of these currencies relative to the U.S. dollar would result in an adverse or beneficial impact to our financial results. A significant portion of our non-U.S. revenues and expenses have been, and will continue to be, derived from contracts denominated in foreign currencies (i.e. British Pounds sterling, Euros, Singapore dollars, among others). Historically, the value of these foreign currencies has fluctuated relative to the U.S. dollar. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the net impact of the fluctuation of foreign currencies recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income was a gain of $22.7 million, net of

------

<u>[**Table of Contents**](#i476e6cb753ee4f8480947cc15bf766d1_7)</u>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

tax. It is generally not our intention to hedge our foreign currency exposure in these subsidiaries, and we will reevaluate this policy from time to time.

Periodically, we enter into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable or other commitments.

During the third quarter of 2025, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 200.0 million British Pounds sterling for $270.6 million, which settled during the third quarter of 2025, and a foreign currency exchange forward contract to sell 71.3 million British Pounds sterling for $96.4 million, which settled in October 2025. The outstanding contract is recorded at its fair value of $0.6 million within Other Current Assets on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2025. We recorded a net loss on these contracts of $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the third quarter of 2023, we entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30.0 million British Pounds sterling for $36.7 million, which settled during the first quarter of 2024, and resulted in a loss of $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Credit Risks*

We maintain cash and cash equivalents, as well as certificates of deposit, with financial institutions with high credit ratings. At times, we may maintain deposits in federally insured financial institutions in excess of federally insured ("FDIC") limits or enter into sweep arrangements where banks will periodically transfer a portion of our excess cash position to a money market fund. However, we believe that we are not exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the depository institutions or investment vehicles in which those deposits are held.

Accounts Receivable consists primarily of advisory fees and expense reimbursements billed to our clients. Other Assets includes long-term receivables primarily from certain fees related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses. Receivables are reported net of any allowance for credit losses. We maintain an allowance for credit losses to provide coverage for probable losses from our customer receivables and determine the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on our analysis of historical credit loss experience of our client receivables, and taking into consideration current market conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. Our receivables collection periods generally are within 90 days of invoice, with the exception of placement fees, which are generally collected within 180 days of invoice, and certain fees primarily related to private funds capital raising and the private capital businesses, a portion of which may be collected in a period exceeding one year. The collection period for liability management and restructuring transaction receivables may exceed 90 days. We recorded bad debt expense of $4.8 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total receivables recorded in Accounts Receivable amounted to $523.3 million and $421.5 million, respectively, net of an allowance for credit losses, and total receivables recorded in Other Assets amounted to $113.2 million and $101.3 million, respectively.

Other Current Assets and Other Assets include arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date (contract assets). As of September 30, 2025, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $61.3 million and $32.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, total contract assets recorded in Other Current Assets and Other Assets amounted to $62.4 million and $14.5 million, respectively.

With respect to our Investment Securities portfolio, which is comprised primarily of U.S. Treasury securities, exchange-traded funds and securities investments, we manage our credit risk exposure by limiting concentration risk and maintaining investment grade credit quality. As of September 30, 2025, we had Investment Securities of $1.43 billion, of which 88% were U.S. Treasury securities.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report are prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions regarding future events that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and their notes, including reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base these estimates on historical experience and various other

assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. For a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

**Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures**

Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

**Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting**

We have not made any changes during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act).

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Item 1.** | **Legal Proceedings** |

---

In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai, Indonesian and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450 when warranted*.* Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

**1. AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND EXISTING NOTES.**

------

Effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (as defined below), the Existing Note Purchase Agreement and the Existing Notes are hereby amended by this Amendment Agreement as follows (such amendments are referred to herein collectively as the "**Amendments**"):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.1.Insertion of Section 1A (Interest Rate).** The Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 1A immediately after Section 1 thereof:

"**SECTION 1A. INTEREST RATE.**

Each Note shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the first paragraph thereof (the "**Note Rate**"); *provided* that, during any Leverage Step-Up Period from time to time in effect, each Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.00 to 1.00, but less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the Note Rate plus 0.15%, and (b) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, the Note Rate plus 0.30% (such increase in the applicable interest rate with respect to any Note pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above (as applicable), the "**Step-Up Rate**"). If the Company fails to deliver the compliance certificate with respect to any fiscal quarter in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement, the Step-Up Rate in clause (b) above shall be deemed to apply until such time as such compliance certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.6 hereof, for purposes of computing the Make-Whole Amount (if any) with respect to any Note on any date of determination, no Step-Up Rate with respect to such Note shall be included in the determination thereof.

For purposes hereof, "**Leverage Step-Up Period**" means, with respect to any Series of Notes, the period commencing on the interest payment date for such Series of Notes immediately following the date on which the Company has delivered a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof evidencing that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and ending on the first day after the next interest payment date for such Series of Notes after the date on which the Company delivers a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof evidencing that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2.Amendment to Section 7.2(a) (Covenant Compliance).** Section 7.2(a) of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read:

"(a) *Covenant Compliance* — setting forth the information from such financial statements that is required in order to establish whether the Company was in compliance with the requirements of Section 10 and any Incorporated Financial Covenant during the quarterly or annual period covered by the financial statements then being furnished (including with respect to each such provision that involves mathematical calculations, the information from such financial statements that is required to perform such calculations) and detailed calculations of the maximum or minimum amount, ratio or percentage, as the case may be, permissible under the terms of such Section, and the calculation of the amount, ratio

------

or percentage then in existence, together with (i) a reconciliation from GAAP with respect to the treatment of leases hereunder as operating leases consistent with GAAP as in effect on March 30, 2016, as provided in Section 22.2(a) and (ii) in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary has made an election to measure any financial liability using fair value (which election is being disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 22.2(a)) as to the period covered by any such financial statement, a reconciliation from GAAP with respect to such election;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.3.Amendment to Section 9 (Affirmative Covenants).** Section 9 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 9.8 to read as follows:

**"Section 9.8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most Favored Lender Provision**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If as of, or at any time after, the date of this Agreement any PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) contains (i) a Financial Covenant that is not contained in this Agreement or (ii) a Financial Covenant that is contained in this Agreement which would in any respect be more beneficial to the holders of Notes than the Financial Covenants set forth in this Agreement (any such provision, a "**More Favorable Financial Covenant**"), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such More Favorable Financial Covenant. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within fifteen (15) days after each holder's receipt of such notice, such More Favorable Financial Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into Section 10.8 of this Agreement, *mutatis mutandis*, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Financial Covenant shall have become effective under such PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any More Favorable Financial Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an "**Incorporated Financial Covenant**") (i) shall be deemed automatically amended or waived herein to reflect any subsequent amendments or waivers made to such More Favorable Financial Covenant under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof), including, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments or waivers which make the relevant covenant less restrictive on the Company; *provided* that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists in relation to such Incorporated Financial Covenant and the amendment or waiver of such More Favorable Financial Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Company, such Incorporated Financial Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended or waived at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing, and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such More Favorable Financial Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) or such PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) shall be terminated; *provided*, *however*, that (A) if a Default or Event of Default then exists in relation to such Incorporated Financial Covenant, such Incorporated Financial Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time, when such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing and (B) if any lender under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any

------

extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) is paid, directly or indirectly, any compensation for the amendment, waiver or removal of such Incorporated Financial Covenant then the holders of the Notes shall receive, concurrently with or promptly after payment to the lender or lenders under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof), a *pro rata* amount (based on the aggregate of both drawn and undrawn amounts) of any compensation paid to the lenders under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) (unless such amendment, waiver or removal is as a result of a refinancing or replacement of the PNC Loan Documents). For the avoidance of doubt, a waiver by the relevant lenders under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) of a Default or Event of Default in relation to a More Favorable Financial Covenant shall not affect the existence of an existing Default or Event of Default in respect of a related Incorporated Financial Covenant in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Upon the effectiveness of any amendment described in Section 9.8(a), upon the request of the Company or any holder of Notes, the holders of Notes and the Company shall (at the Company's sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement evidencing the incorporation of any such Incorporated Financial Covenant. Upon the effectiveness of any amendment, waiver, deletion or removal described in Section 9.8(b), upon the request of the Company, the holders of Notes shall (at the Company's sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement requested by the Company evidencing the deletion and termination of any such Incorporated Financial Covenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Financial Covenants in Section 10.8 of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall remain in this Agreement regardless of whether any More Favorable Financial Covenants are incorporated into this Agreement and shall be independent of any Incorporated Financial Covenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e)"**Most Favored Lender Notice**" means, in respect of any More Favorable Financial Covenant, a written notice to each of the holders of the Notes delivered promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the inclusion of such More Favorable Financial Covenant in any PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) (including by way of amendment or other modification of any existing provision thereof) from a Senior Financial Officer of the Company referring to the provisions and setting forth a reasonably detailed description of such More Favorable Financial Covenant (including any defined terms used therein) and related explanatory calculations, as applicable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)"**Financial Covenant**" means any covenant (whether set forth as a covenant, undertaking, event of default, restriction, or other such provision) that requires the Company to achieve or maintain, or not exceed, a stated level of financial condition or performance and includes, without limitation, any requirement that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (and includes, without limitation, covenants of the type in Section 10.8):

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i)maintain a specified level of net worth, shareholders' equity, total assets, cash flow or net income;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv)not exceed any maximum level of indebtedness based on a leverage ratio."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.1.Insertion of Section 1A (Interest Rate).** The Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 1A immediately after Section 1 thereof:

"**SECTION 1A. INTEREST RATE.**

Each Note shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the first paragraph thereof (the "**Note Rate**"); *provided* that, during any Leverage Step-Up Period from time to time in effect, each Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.00 to 1.00, but less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the Note Rate plus 0.15%, and (b) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, the Note Rate plus 0.30% (such increase in the applicable interest rate with respect to any Note pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above (as applicable), the "**Step-Up Rate**"). If the Company fails to deliver the compliance certificate with respect to any fiscal quarter in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement, the Step-Up Rate in clause (b) above shall be deemed to apply until such time as such compliance certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.6 hereof, for purposes of computing the Make-Whole Amount (if any) with respect to any Note on any date of determination, no Step-Up Rate with respect to such Note shall be included in the determination thereof.

For purposes hereof, "**Leverage Step-Up Period**" means, with respect to any Series of Notes, the period commencing on the interest payment date for such Series of Notes immediately following the date on which the Company has delivered a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof evidencing that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and ending on the first day after the next interest payment date for such Series of Notes after the date on which the Company delivers a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof evidencing that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.2.Amendment to Section 7.2(a) (Covenant Compliance).** Section 7.2(a) of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read:

"(a) *Covenant Compliance* — setting forth the information from such financial statements that is required in order to establish whether the Company was in compliance with the requirements of Section 10 and any Incorporated Financial Covenant during the quarterly or annual period covered by the financial statements then being furnished (including with respect to each such provision that involves mathematical calculations, the information from such financial statements that is required to perform such calculations) and detailed calculations of the maximum or minimum amount, ratio or percentage, as the case may

------

be, permissible under the terms of such Section, and the calculation of the amount, ratio or percentage then in existence, together with (i) a reconciliation from GAAP with respect to the treatment of leases hereunder as operating leases consistent with GAAP as in effect on March 30, 2016, as provided in Section 22.2(a) and (ii) in the event that the Company or any Subsidiary has made an election to measure any financial liability using fair value (which election is being disregarded for purposes of determining compliance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 22.2(a)) as to the period covered by any such financial statement, a reconciliation from GAAP with respect to such election;"

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.3.Amendment to Section 9 (Affirmative Covenants).** Section 9 of the Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding a new Section 9.8 to read as follows:

**"Section 9.8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most Favored Lender Provision**.

Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within fifteen (15) days after each holder's receipt of such notice, such More Favorable Financial Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into Section 10.8 of this Agreement, *mutatis mutandis*, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Financial Covenant shall have become effective under such PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.1.Insertion of Section 1A (Interest Rate).** The Existing Note Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 1A immediately after Section 1 thereof:

------

"**SECTION 1A. INTEREST RATE.**

Each Note shall bear interest at the rate per annum set forth in the first paragraph thereof (the "**Note Rate**"); *provided* that, during any Leverage Step-Up Period from time to time in effect, each Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.00 to 1.00, but less than or equal to 2.50 to 1.00, the Note Rate plus 0.15%, and (b) if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.50 to 1.00, the Note Rate plus 0.30% (such increase in the applicable interest rate with respect to any Note pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above (as applicable), the "**Step-Up Rate**"). If the Company fails to deliver the compliance certificate with respect to any fiscal quarter in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement, the Step-Up Rate in clause (b) above shall be deemed to apply until such time as such compliance certificate is delivered. Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 8.6 hereof, for purposes of computing the Make-Whole Amount (if any) with respect to any Note on any date of determination, no Step-Up Rate with respect to such Note shall be included in the determination thereof.

For purposes hereof, "**Leverage Step-Up Period**" means, with respect to any Series of Notes, the period commencing on the interest payment date for such Series of Notes immediately following the date on which the Company has delivered a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof evidencing that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is greater than 2.00 to 1.00 and ending on the first day after the next interest payment date for such Series of Notes after the date on which the Company delivers a compliance certificate pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof evidencing that the Consolidated Leverage Ratio for the fiscal quarter of the Company then most recently ended is less than or equal to 2.00 to 1.00."

**"Section 9.8. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Most Favored Lender Provision**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a)If as of, or at any time after, the date of this Agreement any PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) contains (i) a Financial Covenant that is not contained in this Agreement or (ii) a Financial Covenant that is contained in this Agreement which would in any respect be more beneficial to the holders of Notes than the Financial Covenants set forth in this Agreement (any such provision, a "**More Favorable Financial Covenant**"), then the Company shall provide a Most Favored Lender Notice in respect of such More Favorable Financial Covenant. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within fifteen (15) days after each holder's receipt of such notice, such More Favorable Financial Covenant shall be deemed automatically incorporated by reference into Section 10.8 of this Agreement, *mutatis mutandis*, as if set forth in full herein, effective as of the date when such More Favorable Financial Covenant shall have become effective under such PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b)Any More Favorable Financial Covenant incorporated into this Agreement (herein referred to as an "**Incorporated Financial Covenant**") (i) shall be deemed automatically amended or waived herein to reflect any subsequent amendments or waivers made to such More Favorable Financial Covenant under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof), including, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments or waivers which make the relevant covenant less restrictive on the Company; *provided* that, if a Default or an Event of Default then exists in relation to such Incorporated Financial Covenant and the amendment or waiver of such More Favorable Financial Covenant would make such covenant less restrictive on the Company, such Incorporated Financial Covenant shall only be deemed automatically amended or waived at such time, if it should occur, when such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing, and (ii) shall be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time as such More Favorable Financial Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) or such PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) shall be terminated; *provided*, *however*, that (A) if a Default or Event of Default then exists in relation to such Incorporated Financial Covenant, such Incorporated Financial Covenant shall only be deemed automatically deleted from this Agreement at such time, when such Default or Event of Default is no longer continuing and (B) if any lender under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) is paid, directly or indirectly, any compensation for the amendment, waiver or removal of such Incorporated Financial Covenant then the holders of the Notes shall receive, concurrently with or promptly after payment to the lender or lenders under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof), a *pro rata* amount (based on the aggregate of both drawn and undrawn amounts) of any compensation paid to the lenders under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof)

------

(unless such amendment, waiver or removal is as a result of a refinancing or replacement of the PNC Loan Documents). For the avoidance of doubt, a waiver by the relevant lenders under the relevant PNC Loan Document (or any extension, replacement or refinancing thereof) of a Default or Event of Default in relation to a More Favorable Financial Covenant shall not affect the existence of an existing Default or Event of Default in respect of a related Incorporated Financial Covenant in this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c)Upon the effectiveness of any amendment described in Section 9.8(a), upon the request of the Company or any holder of Notes, the holders of Notes and the Company shall (at the Company's sole cost and expense) enter into any additional agreement or amendment to this Agreement evidencing the incorporation of any such Incorporated Financial Covenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d)For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Financial Covenants in Section 10.8 of this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement shall remain in this Agreement regardless of whether any More Favorable Financial Covenants are incorporated into this Agreement and shall be independent of any Incorporated Financial Covenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f)"**Financial Covenant**" means any covenant (whether set forth as a covenant, undertaking, event of default, restriction, or other such provision) that requires the Company to achieve or maintain, or not exceed, a stated level of financial condition or performance and includes, without limitation, any requirement that the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries (and includes, without limitation, covenants of the type in Section 10.8):

## Exhibit 10.5

**Exhibit 10.5**

**Amendment to Loan Documents**

**THIS AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS** (this "**Amendment**") is made as of July 10, 2025, by and among **EVERCORE PARTNERS SERVICES EAST L.L.C.** (the "**Borrower**"); **EVERCORE LP** and **EVERCORE GROUP HOLDINGS L.P.** (each, an "**Existing Guarantor**"); **EVERCORE INC.** (the "**New Guarantor**"; together with the Existing Guarantors, the "**Guarantors**" and each a "**Guarantor**"; the Guarantors, collectively with the Borrower, each, a "**Loan Party**" and, collectively, the "**Loan Parties**"); and **PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** (the "**Bank**").

**BACKGROUND**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Loan Parties have executed and delivered to the Bank one or more promissory notes, letter agreements, loan agreements, security agreements, mortgages, pledge agreements, collateral assignments, and other agreements, instruments, certificates and documents, some or all of which are more fully described on attached Exhibit A, which is made a part of this Amendment (collectively as amended from time to time, the "**Loan Documents**"), which evidence or secure some or all of the Obligations (as defined in the Loan Documents). Any initially capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the meanings assigned to those terms in the Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;B.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Bank desire to amend the Loan Documents as provided for in this Amendment.

**NOW, THEREFORE,** in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.Certain of the Loan Documents are amended as set forth in Exhibit A. Any and all references to any Loan Document in any other Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Loan Document as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment is deemed incorporated into each of the Loan Documents. To the extent that any term or provision of this Amendment is or may be inconsistent with any term or provision in any Loan Document, the terms and provisions of this Amendment shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.Each of the Loan Parties hereby certifies that: (a) all of the representations and warranties made by such Loan Party in the Loan Documents are, except as may otherwise be stated in this Amendment, true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Amendment (except to the extent stated to relate to a specific earlier date, in which case such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and provided that if a representation and warranty contains a materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualification, it is true and correct in all respects), (b) no Default or Event of Default exists under any Loan Document which will not be cured by the execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (c) no consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any third party is required in connection with the execution, delivery and carrying out of this Amendment or, if required, has been obtained, and (d) this Amendment has been duly authorized, executed and delivered so that it constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar law relating to creditors' rights generally). Each of the Loan Parties confirms that the Obligations remain outstanding without defense, set off, counterclaim, discount or charge of any kind as of the date of this Amendment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.Each of the Loan Parties hereby confirms that the contractual possessory security interest in certain collateral of the Bank with respect to the Borrower's obligations to the Bank under the Note (as defined in Exhibit A hereto) shall continue unimpaired and in full force and effect, and shall cover and secure all of such obligations, as modified by this Amendment.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Amendment, each of the Loan Parties shall comply with the terms and conditions (if any and to the extent applicable to such Loan Party) specified in Exhibit A.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.To induce the Bank to enter into this Amendment, each Loan Party waives and releases and forever discharges the Bank and its officers, directors, attorneys, agents, and employees from any liability, damage, claim, loss or expense of any kind that it may have against the Bank or any of them arising out of or relating to the Obligations, in each case, as of the date of this Amendment. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties each further agree to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from any loss, damage, claim, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees) suffered by or rendered against any Indemnified Party on account of any claims arising out of or relating to the matters referred to in the Loan Documents or the use of any advance thereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses solely attributable to an Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6.This Amendment may be signed in any number of counterpart copies and by the parties to this Amendment on separate counterparts, but all such copies shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart. Upon written request by the other party (which may be made by electronic mail), any party so executing this Amendment by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall promptly deliver a manually executed counterpart, provided that any failure to do so shall not affect the validity of the counterpart executed by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7.Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the other Loan Documents, each of the Loan Parties agrees that this Amendment, the Note, the other Loan Documents, any other amendments thereto and any other information, notice, signature card, agreement or authorization related thereto (each, a "**Communication**") may, at the Bank's option, be in the form of an electronic record. Any Communication may, at the Bank's option, be signed or executed using electronic signatures. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance by the Bank of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format) for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Borrower and the Bank acknowledge and agree that the methods for delivering Communications, including notices, under the Loan Documents include electronic transmittal to any electronic address provided by either party to the other party from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8.Each of the Loan Parties hereby (a) ratifies and affirms all the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents as amended hereby, (b) agrees that the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect as amended hereby and that all of its obligations thereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be impaired or limited by the execution or effectiveness of this Amendment or any other documents or instruments executed in connection herewith, and (c) acknowledges and agrees that it has no defense, set-off, counterclaim or challenge against the payment of any sums currently owing under the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the enforcement of any of the terms or conditions thereof and agrees to be bound thereby and perform thereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, each Guarantor, by its execution of this Amendment, hereby consents to this Amendment and confirms and ratifies that all of its obligations as a Guarantor under the Guaranty Documents shall continue in full force and effect, including with respect to the Loan Agreement and the Note as amended hereby, including as the maximum amount of the Line of Credit is being increased hereby.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9.As of the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined in Exhibit A hereto), each reference in the Loan Agreement to "this Agreement," "hereunder," "hereof," "herein," or words of like import, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, by means of words like "thereunder", "thereof" and words of like import), shall mean and be a reference to the Loan Agreement as amended hereby, and this Amendment and the Loan Agreement shall be read together and construed as a single instrument.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 2 -

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10.Except as expressly modified hereby, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue to be, and shall remain, unaltered and in full force and effect in accordance with their terms and are hereby ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment and the Note shall not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Bank under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver or amendment of any other provision of any of the Loan Documents for any purpose, except in each case as expressly set forth herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11.This Amendment, the Note, the Guaranty Documents and the other Loan Documents constitute the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all oral negotiations and the terms of prior writings with respect hereto or thereto.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12.The headings of any paragraph of this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not be used to interpret any provision hereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.No modification hereof or any agreement referred to herein shall be binding or enforceable unless in writing and signed on behalf of the party against whom enforcement is sought.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;14.The jurisdiction and other provisions in Section 10.16 of the Loan Agreement are incorporated herein by reference <u>mutatis</u> <u>mutandis</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;15.This Amendment will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties and the Bank and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;16.This Amendment has been delivered to and accepted by the Bank and will be deemed to be made in the State of New York. This Amendment will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of the parties hereto determined in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;17.This Amendment constitutes the sole agreement of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall supersede all oral negotiations and the terms of prior writings with respect hereto. From and after the Second Amendment Effective Date, all references in the Loan Agreement (as defined in Exhibit A), the Note (as defined in Exhibit A), the Guaranty (as defined in Exhibit A) and each of the other Loan Documents to the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Guaranty Documents or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be references to the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Guaranty Documents and such other Loan Documents, as modified hereby. This Amendment, the Note and the Guaranty shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes under the Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;18.Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;19.This Amendment shall not constitute a termination of the Loan Agreement nor a novation of any indebtedness or other obligations owing to the Bank under the Loan Agreement or any Liens or security interests, if any, granted thereunder or under any other Loan Document. All such security interests and Liens, if any, granted under the Loan Documents shall continue in full force and effect as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified herein. On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Loan facilities described in the Existing Loan Agreement shall be amended, supplemented and modified in their entirety by the facilities described herein and in the Loan Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Note attached hereto as Exhibit B, and the Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit C and all advances, Loans and other obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding as of the Second Amendment Effective Date under the Existing Loan Agreement shall be deemed to be advances, Loans, and obligations outstanding under the corresponding facilities described in the Loan Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, the Note attached hereto as Exhibit B and the Guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit C, without any further action by any Person.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 3 -

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;20.The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with the preparation, negotiation and delivery of this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Bank, whether invoiced before or after the Second Amendment Effective Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;21.Except as amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain unchanged, are and shall remain in full force and effect unless and until modified or amended in writing in accordance with their terms, and are hereby ratified and confirmed. Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to any provision of any Loan Document, a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, or a waiver or release of any of the Bank's rights and remedies (all of which are hereby reserved). **The Borrower expressly ratifies and confirms the waiver of jury trial contained in the Loan Documents to which it is a party, which is incorporated herein by reference.**

## Exhibit 10.6

**Exhibit 10.6**

**Loan Agreement**

**THIS LOAN AGREEMENT** (the "**Agreement**"), is entered into as of October 28, 2024, between **EVERCORE PARTNERS SERVICES EAST L.L.C.** (the "**Borrower**"), with an address at c/o Evercore Inc., 55 East 52<sup>nd</sup> Street, New York, NY 10055, and **PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** (the "**Bank**"), with an address at One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

The Borrower and the Bank, with the intent to be legally bound, agree as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Loan; Line of Credit</u>.** The Bank hereby extends to the Borrower a committed revolving line of credit under which the Borrower may request and the Bank, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, will make advances to the Borrower from time to time until the Expiration Date, in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time not to exceed $225,000,000 (the "**Line of Credit**"**)**. The loans made by the Bank under the Line of Credit are hereby referred to as the "**Loan**". The "**Expiration Date**" shall have the meaning set forth in the Note (as defined below). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Bank be under any obligation to extend or renew the Line of Credit beyond the Expiration Date. In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances under the Line of Credit exceed the face amount of the Line of Credit. Advances under the Line of Credit will be used for working capital or other general business purposes of the Borrower. The Loan shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower and all renewals, extensions, amendments and restatements thereof (whether one or more, collectively, the "**Note**") acceptable to the Bank, which shall set forth the interest rate, repayment and other provisions of the Loan, the terms of which are incorporated into this Agreement by reference. The proceeds of the Loan will be used for working capital or general corporate purposes, including paying existing indebtedness of the Borrower.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Guaranties</u>**. The guaranties for repayment of the Loan shall include but not be limited to the guaranties and other documents heretofore, contemporaneously or hereafter executed and delivered to the Bank in connection with the Loan (the "**Guaranty Documents**"), which, in the case of the guaranties by Evercore Inc., Evercore LP and Evercore Group Holdings L.P. (collectively, the "**Guarantors**"), shall guarantee repayment of the Loan and all other loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument; (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document; (iii) for the payment of money; (iv) arising by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee; (v) under any interest or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar agreement; (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner; or (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account, or out of the Bank's non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements; and any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing, and all costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement,

Any reference herein or therein to a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, Disposition or transfer, or

similar term, shall be deemed to apply to a Division of or by a limited liability company, or an allocation of assets to a series of a limited liability company (or the unwinding of such a Division or allocation), as if it were a merger, consolidation, amalgamation, assignment, sale, Disposition or transfer, or similar term, as applicable, to, of or with a separate Person. Any Division of a limited liability company shall constitute a separate Person hereunder and thereunder (and each Division of any limited liability company that is a Subsidiary, joint venture or any other like term shall also constitute such a Person) on the first date of its existence.

**FOR VALUE RECEIVED**, **EVERCORE PARTNERS SERVICES EAST L.L.C.** (the "**Borrower**"), with an address at 55 East 52<sup>nd</sup> Street, New York, NY 10055, promises to pay to **PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** (the "**Bank**") or its permitted assigns, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at its offices located at One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, or at such other location as the Bank may designate from time to time in writing, the principal sum of **TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS** (**$225,000,000**) (the "**Facility**") or such lesser amount as may be advanced to or for the benefit of the Borrower hereunder, together with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof, all as provided below.

1.**<u>Advances</u>.** This Note evidences a revolving line of credit. The Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder, and the Bank may advance and readvance under this Note from time to time (each an "advance" and together the "advances") until the Expiration Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Loan Documents (as defined herein). The "**Expiration Date**" shall mean July 10, 2028, or such later date as may be requested by the Borrower and designated by the Bank in its sole discretion by written notice from the Bank to the Borrower. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Bank be under any obligation to extend or renew the Facility or this Note beyond the Expiration Date. In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances under this Note exceed the face amount of this Note.

2.**<u>Rate of Interest</u>.** Amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum which is at all times equal to the sum of (A) Daily SOFR (as defined below) <u>plus</u> (B) a spread of one hundred thirty (130) basis points (1.30%). Interest hereunder will be calculated based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Regardless of any other provision of this Note or the other Loan Documents, if for any reason such effective interest rate should exceed the maximum rate allowed by law, such effective interest rate shall be deemed reduced to, and shall be, the maximum rate allowed by law, and (i) the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed applied to the reduction of the principal balance of this Note and not to the payment of interest, and (ii) if the loan evidenced by this Note has been or is thereby paid in full, the excess shall be returned to the party paying same, such application to the principal balance of this Note or the refunding of such excess to be a complete settlement and acquittance thereof.

Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Loan Agreement (as defined below) are used herein as therein defined. In addition, if the following terms are used in this Note, such terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

"**Alternate Rate**" means the sum of (A) the Base Rate plus (B) thirty (30) basis points (0.30%). **"Base Rate"** means the higher of (A) the Prime Rate, and (B) the sum of the Overnight Bank Funding Rate <u>plus</u> 50 basis points (0.50%); <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, if the Base Rate as determined above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero. If and when the Base Rate as determined above changes, the rate of interest with respect to any amounts hereunder to which the Base Rate applies will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

"**Business Day**" shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required by law to be closed for business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or New York, New York; <u>provided</u> that, when used in connection with an amount that bears interest at a rate based on SOFR or any direct or indirect calculation or determination involving SOFR, the term "Business Day" means any such day that is <u>also</u> a U.S. Government Securities Business Day.

------

"**Daily Simple SOFR**" means, for any day (a "**SOFR Rate Day**"), the interest rate per annum determined by the Bank by dividing (the resulting quotient rounded upwards, at the Bank's discretion, to the nearest 1/100th of 1%) (A) SOFR for the day (the "**SOFR Determination Date**") that is 2 Business Days prior to (i) such SOFR Rate Day if such SOFR Rate Day is a Business Day or (ii) the Business Day immediately preceding such SOFR Rate Day if such SOFR Rate Day is not a Business Day, by (B) a number equal to 1.00 minus the SOFR Reserve Percentage, in each case, as such SOFR is published by the NYFRB (or a successor administrator of the secured overnight financing rate) on the website of the NYFRB, currently at <u>http://www.newyorkfed.org</u>, or any successor source identified by the NYFRB or its successor administrator for the secured overnight financing rate from time to time. If Daily Simple SOFR as determined above would be less than the Floor, then Daily Simple SOFR shall be deemed to be the Floor. If SOFR for any SOFR Determination Date has not been published or replaced with a Benchmark Replacement by 5:00 p.m. (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania time) on the second Business Day immediately following such SOFR Determination Date, then SOFR for such SOFR Determination Date will be SOFR for the first Business Day preceding such SOFR Determination Date for which SOFR was published in accordance with the definition of "SOFR"; <u>provided</u> that SOFR determined pursuant to this sentence shall be used for purposes of calculating Daily Simple SOFR for no more than 3 consecutive SOFR Rate Days. If and when Daily Simple SOFR as determined above changes, any applicable rate of interest based on Daily Simple SOFR will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

"**Daily SOFR**" means Daily Simple SOFR.

If the Overnight Bank Funding Rate determined as above would be less than zero, then such rate shall be deemed to be zero. The rate of interest charged shall be adjusted as of each Business Day based on changes in the Overnight Bank Funding Rate without notice to the Borrower.

"**Prime Rate**" shall mean the rate publicly announced by the Bank from time to time as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is determined from time to time by the Bank as a means of pricing some loans to its borrowers. The Prime Rate is not tied to any external rate of interest or index and does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually charged by the Bank to any particular class or category of customers.

4.**<u>Payment Terms</u>.** Accrued interest will be due and payable on the last day of each month, beginning with the payment due on July 31, 2025. The outstanding principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Expiration Date.

If any payment under this Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, except that if such day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be due on the next preceding day that is a Business Day. Interest shall be computed to, but excluding, the date of payment. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined), payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys' fees), accrued interest and principal in any order the Bank may choose, in its sole discretion.

5.**<u>Late Payments; Default Rate</u>.** If the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note within fifteen (15) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shall pay to the Bank a late charge equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment or $100.00 (the "**Late Charge**"). Such fifteen (15) day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Bank's option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days) which shall be three percentage points (3%) in excess of the interest rate in effect from time to time under this Note but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the "**Default Rate**"). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Bank's expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Bank's exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Bank may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Bank of carrying a loan that is in default. The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Bank, and that the actual harm incurred by the Bank cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.

8.**<u>Other Loan Documents</u>.** This Note is issued in connection with a Loan Agreement between the Borrower and the Bank, dated as of October 28, 2024 (as amended by that certain Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of March 17, 2025, that certain Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of the date hereof, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "**Loan Agreement**"), and the other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered in connection therewith or referred to therein, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, collectively the "**Loan Documents**").

What this means: when the Borrower opens an account, the Bank will ask for the business name, business address, taxpayer identifying number and other information that will allow the Bank to identify the Borrower, such as organizational documents.

16.**<u>Conforming Changes; Benchmark Replacement Provisions</u>**. The Bank shall have the right to make any technical, administrative or operational changes from time to time that the Bank decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of SOFR or any other Benchmark (as defined below) or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Bank in a manner substantially consistent with market practice or in such other manner as the Bank decides is reasonably necessary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such technical, administrative or operational changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower. The Bank shall provide notice to the Borrower of any such amendment reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

If the applicable rate under this Note is based on a Benchmark and the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that (A) such Benchmark cannot be determined pursuant to its definition other than as a result of a Benchmark Transition Event (as defined below), or (B) any enactment, promulgation or adoption

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7

------

of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impracticable for the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on that Benchmark, then the Bank shall give notice thereof to the Borrower. Thereafter, until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be the Alternate Rate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred with respect to a Benchmark, the Bank may amend this Note to replace such Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement (as defined below); and any such amendment shall be in writing, shall specify the date that the Benchmark Replacement is effective and will not require any further action or consent of the Borrower. Until the Benchmark Replacement is effective, amounts bearing interest with reference to a Benchmark will continue to bear interest with reference to such Benchmark as long as such Benchmark is available, and otherwise such amounts automatically will bear interest at the Alternate Rate.

**THIS GUARANTY AND SURETYSHIP AGREEMENT** (this "**Guaranty**") is made and entered into as of this 10th day of July, 2025, by **EVERCORE INC.**, **EVERCORE LP** and **EVERCORE GROUP HOLDINGS L.P.** (each a "**Guarantor**" and collectively, the "**Guarantors**"), with an address at 55 East 52<sup>nd</sup> Street, New York, NY 10055, in consideration of the extension of credit by **PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION** (the "**Bank**"), with an address at One PNC Plaza, 249 Fifth Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, to **EVERCORE PARTNERS SERVICES EAST L.L.C.** (the "**Borrower**"), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**1.<u>Guaranteed Obligations</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(a)**Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor, and becomes surety for (i) the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) the prompt payment of all costs and expenses of the Bank (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred in the documentation, negotiation, modification, enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with the Obligations (collectively, the **"Guaranteed Obligations"**). As used herein, **"Obligations"** means all loans, advances, debts, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank or to any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, whether or not (i) evidenced by any note, guaranty or other instrument, (ii) arising under any agreement, instrument or document, (iii) for the payment of money, (iv) arising by reason of an extension of credit, opening of a letter of credit, loan, equipment lease or guarantee, (v) under any interest rate, commodity or currency swap, future, option or other interest rate protection or similar transaction or agreement, (vi) under or by reason of any foreign currency transaction, forward, option or other similar transaction providing for the purchase of one currency in exchange for the sale of another currency, or in any other manner, (vii) arising out of overdrafts on deposit or other accounts or out of electronic funds transfers (whether by wire transfer or through automated clearing houses or otherwise) or out of the return unpaid of, or other failure of the Bank to receive final payment for, any check, item, instrument, payment order or other deposit or credit to a deposit or other account, or out of the Bank's non-receipt of or inability to collect funds or otherwise not being made whole in connection with depository or other similar arrangements, or (viii) arising from any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to any of the foregoing.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(b)**Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the definition of "**Obligations**" shall specifically exclude any and all Excluded Swap Obligations. The foregoing limitation of the definition of Obligations shall only be deemed applicable to the obligations of a Guarantor under the particular Swap (or Swaps), or, if arising under a master agreement governing more than one Swap, the portion thereof, that constitute Excluded Swap Obligations. As used herein, (i) "**Excluded Swap Obligations"** means, with respect to each

------

Guarantor, any obligation to pay or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a Swap if, and to the extent that, all or any portion of this Guaranty that relates to the obligations under such Swap is or becomes illegal as to such Guarantor under the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C.§1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute (the **"CEA"**), or any rule, regulation, or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the **"CFTC"**), by virtue of such Guarantor's failure for any reason to qualify as an "eligible contract participant" (as defined in the CEA and regulations promulgated thereunder) on the Eligibility Date for such Swap; (ii) "**Eligibility Date**" means the date on which this Guaranty becomes effective with respect to the particular Swap (for the avoidance of doubt, the Eligibility Date shall be the date of the execution of the particular Swap if this Guaranty is then in effect, and otherwise it shall be the date of execution and delivery of this Guaranty); and (iii) "**Swap**" means any "swap" as defined in Section 1a(47) of the CEA and regulations thereunder between the Borrower and the Bank, other than (A) a swap entered into on, or subject to the rules of, a board of trade designated as a contract market under Section 5 of the CEA, or (B) a commodity option entered into pursuant to CFTC Regulation 32.3(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**(c)**If the Borrower defaults under any Obligations, the Guarantors will pay the Guaranteed Obligations due to the Bank**.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**2.<u>Nature of Guaranty; Waivers</u>.** This is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely of collection and the Bank shall not be required or obligated, as a condition of the Guarantors' liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to it with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been made) have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Bank has terminated this Guaranty. This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if there is no principal balance outstanding under the Obligations at a particular time or from time to time. This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by the Bank of any other party, or any other guaranty or any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of the Bank to take any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof. The Guarantors' obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction or defense based upon any claim either Guarantor may have (directly or indirectly) against the Borrower or the Bank, except payment or performance of the Obligations.

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, and any defense based upon the Bank's failure to comply with the notice requirements under Sections 9-611 and 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time are hereby waived. The Guarantors waive all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2

------

The Bank at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantors, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantors' liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person, including the Borrower or either Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the Bank deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**3.<u>Repayments or Recovery from the Bank</u>.** If any demand is made at any time upon the Bank for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if the Bank repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Guarantors will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by the Bank. The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantors in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to the Bank's rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.<u>[Reserved]</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.<u>Enforceability of Obligations</u>.** No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantors' liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantors to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted. Each Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**6.<u>Events of Default</u>.** The occurrence of any of the following shall be an **"Event of Default"**: (i) any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Loan Documents), including, without limitation, any "Event of Default" as defined in (x) the Loan Agreement and/or (y) the Note; (ii) the Borrower's or any Guarantor's failure to observe or perform any covenant or other agreement, under or contained in the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Guaranty or any other document now or in the future evidencing or securing any monetary debt or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Bank in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000 (other than those set forth in clause (i) above) and such failure shall continue unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days after the earlier of (a) written notice to the Borrower from the Bank and (b) a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or any Guarantor becoming aware of such failure, <u>provided</u>, <u>however</u>, that the thirty (30) day cure period contained in this clause (ii) shall not be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3

------

deemed to apply if the Borrower or such Guarantor commits more than two (2) such breaches within any twelve (12) calendar month period; (iii) any warranty, representation or statement made by a Guarantor herein or furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of a Guarantor pursuant to any Loan Document or any other documents now or in the future evidencing or securing any monetary debt or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Bank in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $500,000 is false, erroneous or misleading in any material respect (or, in the case of any such representation or warranty qualified as to materiality, in any respect) on and as of the date made or furnished; or (iv) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty by any Guarantor (other than in accordance with the terms hereof). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (a) the Guarantors shall pay to the Bank the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (b) on demand of the Bank, the Guarantors shall immediately deposit with the Bank, in U.S. dollars, all amounts due or to become due under the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Bank may at any time use such funds to repay the Obligations; or (c) the Bank in its discretion may exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) the Bank in its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise. As used herein, (i) "**Loan Agreement**" shall mean the Loan Agreement, dated as of October 28, 2024 (as amended by that certain Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of March 17, 2025, that certain Amendment to Loan Documents dated as of the date hereof, and as further amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified) between the Borrower and the Bank, as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time; (ii) "**Note**" shall mean the Amended and Restated Revolving Line of Credit Note, dated the date hereof, in the original principal amount of $225,000,000, as amended, supplemented, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, and (iii) "**Loan Document**" and "**Responsible Officer**" shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**7.<u>Right of Setoff</u>.** In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the Guarantors' money, securities or other property given to the Bank by law, the Bank shall have, with respect to the Guarantors' obligations to the Bank under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against, and each Guarantor hereby grants to the Bank a security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to the Bank all of such Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to, all of such Guarantor's deposits, moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, the Bank or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding, however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts. Every such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantors. Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books and records at a later time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**8.<u>[Reserved]</u>.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**9.<u>Costs</u>.** To the extent that the Bank incurs any costs or expenses in protecting or enforcing its rights under the Obligations or this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the costs and expenses of litigation, such costs and expenses will be due on demand, will be

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**12.<u>Preservation of Rights</u>.** No delay or omission on the Bank's part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will the Bank's action or inaction impair any such right or power. The Bank's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law or in equity. The Bank may proceed in any order against the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other obligor of, or any collateral securing, the Obligations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**13.<u>Illegality</u>.** If any provision contained in this Guaranty should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**14.<u>Changes in Writing</u>.** No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by the Guarantors from, any provision of this Guaranty will be effective unless made in a writing signed by the Bank and the Guarantors, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank may modify this Guaranty for the purposes of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content, without the need for a written amendment, provided that the Bank shall send a copy of any such modification to the Guarantors (which notice may be given by electronic mail).
