Bridge Investment Group Holdings LLC

Prior to the IPO, the Operating Company had three classes of membership interests: (i) Class A; (ii) Class B-1; and (iii) Class B-2. Class A and Class B-1 represented the voting equity holders and Class B-2 represented profits interests awarded to employees of the Operating Company. Class B-1 and B-2 interests were issued as “profits interests,” pursuant to agreements entered into with certain employees during 2021, 2020 and 2019. At the time of issuance, the Class B-1 and B-2 interests had a capital account interest of zero percent. The holders of Class B-1 and B-2 interests were entitled to distributions in excess of the defined threshold per the respective award. The holders of Class B-2 interests did not have voting rights. As part of the Transactions, the Class B-1 and Class B-2 Units were exchanged for Class A Units in the Operating Company. As part of the Transactions and IPO, 97,463,981 new Class B Units were issued.

Net profits and any other items of income are allocated to the members’ capital accounts in a manner that is consistent with their respective ownership percentages. Distributions to members are generally made in a manner consistent with their respective ownership percentages at the time the profits were generated and are subject to approval of the Company’s board of directors.

The Operating Company’s Members’ capital interests are transferable; however, transfers are subject to obtaining the prior written consent of the Company, with certain exceptions for transfers to affiliated parties. Members’ liability is limited to the capital account balance. Distributions are reflected in the condensed combined and consolidated statements of changes in shareholders and members’ equity when declared by the board of directors and consist of distributions to members and non-controlling interest holders.

Subsequent to the IPO, the Company is the sole managing member of the Operating Company, and owns 109.7 million Class A Units and 97.5 million Class B Units (voting only), respectively, of the Operating Company, which is 23% and 100% of the total outstanding Class A Units and Class B Units, respectively. The Company controls the business and affairs of the Operating Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Initial Public Offering

Bridge GPs

On closing of the IPO, owners of the Contributed Bridge GPs contributed their interests in the respective Contributed Bridge GPs in exchange for LLC Interests in the Operating Company. Prior to the IPO, the Operating Company did not have any direct interest in the Contributed Bridge GPs. These condensed combined and consolidated financial statements include 100% of operations of the Contributed Bridge GPs for the periods presented on the basis of common control prior to the Transactions. Subsequent to the Transactions, the Operating Company consolidated the Contributed Bridge GPs. The net income that is not attributable to the Operating Company is reflected in net income attributable to non-controlling interests in the subsidiaries in the condensed combined and consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Prior to the Transactions, the Contributed Bridge GPs had three classes of shares: (i) Class A; (ii) Class C; and (iii) Class D. Class A represents the voting interest and Classes C and D represent allocations of carried interest to employees of the Operating Company, which are included in performance allocations compensation. As part of the Transactions, all of the Class C shares of the Contributed Bridge GPs were exchanged for interests in the Operating Company. Generally, if at the termination of a fund, the fund has not achieved investment returns that exceed the preferred return threshold or the funds have received net profits over the life of the fund in excess of its allocable share under the applicable partnership agreement, the Bridge GPs will be obligated to repay an amount equal to the excess of amounts previously distributed to the general partner over the amounts to which the general partner was ultimately entitled (generally net of income tax liabilities associated with related allocations of taxable income).

Dividends and distributions are reflected in the condensed combined and consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity when declared by the Company’s board of directors. Dividends are made to Class A common stockholders and distributions are made to members of the Operating Company and holders of non-controlling interests in subsidiaries.

All of the distributable earnings of the Operating Company prior to the IPO are payable to the Original Equity Owners. As of September 30, 2021, there was $2.3 million that was declared that had not yet been distributed to Original Equity Owners.
