Acquisition-Related Equity-Based Compensation Awards
In connection with TWMH’s historical acquisition of Holbein Partners, LLP (“Holbein”), certain employees of Holbein are entitled to receive a combination of cash and shares of the Company based on Holbein revenues in 2023 and 2024 (the “Holbein Earn-Ins”). The Holbein Earn-Ins were measured at fair value using estimates of future revenues as of the closing date. The earn-ins are expected to be paid in a combination of 50% cash and 50% in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the second and third anniversaries of the closing date of January 7, 2022. On July 14, 2023, the Company amended the Holbein purchase agreement related to the Holbein acquisition. The amendment crystallized the contingent earn-in consideration amount by replacing the valuation of the Holbein Earn-Ins consideration of an estimate of future revenue. Additionally, the first payment date and second payment date are agreed as April 1, 2024, and April 1, 2025, respectively, replacing the original share purchase agreement payment dates of ten business days after the second and third anniversary of the acquisition of Holbein. The agreed upon first and second date payments are $7.1 million and $8.9 million, respectively. The selling shareholders remain required to maintain certain service agreements to receive the compensatory Holbein Earn-ins. The number of shares awarded will be calculated based on the twenty-day average volume weighted average price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock preceding the first and second payment dates. The Company recognized an expense for the earn-ins of $0.9 million, $4.1 million, $7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively.
Separate from the compensatory Holbein Earn-Ins, the Holbein acquisition consideration included contingent consideration that was measured at fair value using estimates of future revenues as of the closing date. The acquisition consideration was also amended to crystallize the non-compensatory earn-in amount and follows the same pattern as the above-described amendment for the compensatory earn-ins. On April 1, 2025, the final contingent consideration payment was made, extinguishing the liability balance as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, this contingent consideration is recorded as a liability of $0.9 million in the Earn-in consideration payable line of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition.

The portion of the EEA Equity Awards to be issued in shares was measured at fair value as of the closing date. The Company recognized compensation expense for the estimated shares in relation to the accrual of the EEA Equity Awards of $2.2 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Envoi (see Note 4 Business Combinations and Divestitures), certain employees of Envoi are entitled to receive a portion of the earn-out growth consideration liability comprised of a combination of cash and additional shares of the Company (the “Envoi Equity Awards”).

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of PW (see Note 4 Business Combinations and Divestitures), certain employees of PW were entitled to receive additional shares of the Company (the “PW Earn-Ins”). The PW Earn-Ins were payable in equity upon the achievement of certain integration milestones and were due for payment no later than March 1, 2025. The estimated deferred consideration was paid in cash and equity during the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. The Company recognized compensation expense in relation to the accrual of the PW Earn-Ins of $1.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Kontora (see Note 4 Business Combinations and Divestitures), the Company may be required to make additional compensatory payments comprised of a combination of cash and equity at the Company’s option based on Kontora’s adjusted EBITDA (the “Kontora Earn-Ins”).

About Stock Compensation Disclosures
Stock-based compensation disclosures detail the equity awards granted to employees and executives — including stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and performance shares — along with the valuation methods and assumptions used to expense them. This section reveals the true cost of talent retention and the alignment between management incentives and shareholder interests.
Key signals: total unrecognized compensation expense and its expected recognition period signal future earnings headwinds from already-granted awards. For stock options, examine Black-Scholes assumptions — expected volatility, risk-free rate, and expected term — as understating any of these reduces reported compensation expense. Compare stock compensation expense as a percentage of revenue against peers to assess dilution cost. Watch vesting schedules for acceleration clauses tied to change-of-control events. Performance-based awards with undemanding targets may indicate weak governance. Add back stock compensation to operating cash flow to calculate a more conservative free cash flow figure.
