Lines of Credit – On July 10, 2025, the Company amended its $85,000 revolving credit facility Evercore Partners Services East L.L.C.

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. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2025. 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 December 31, 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.

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 December 31, 2025.

Restricted Cash included in Other Assets on the 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.
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 2025, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to buy 200,000 British Pounds sterling for $270,600 and to sell 71,250 British Pounds sterling for $96,401, both of which settled in 2025. The Company recorded a net loss on these contracts of $1,055 for the year ended December 31, 2025, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the first quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30,000 British Pounds sterling for $36,903, which settled during the third quarter of 2023, and resulted in a loss of $303 for the year ended December 31, 2023, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Upon settlement, the Company entered into a foreign currency exchange forward contract to buy 30,000 British Pounds sterling for $36,675, which settled during 2024, and resulted in a loss of $347 for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included within Other Revenue, Including Interest and Investments, on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
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, Saudi, 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" when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change.
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.

About Commitments Disclosures
Commitments and contingencies disclosures catalog a company's off-balance-sheet obligations and legal exposures — purchase commitments, guarantee arrangements, pending litigation, and regulatory proceedings. These items represent potential future cash outflows that may not appear as liabilities on the balance sheet until they become probable and estimable.
Key signals: litigation reserves and disclosed loss ranges quantify management's estimate of legal exposure, but unquantified "reasonably possible" losses often represent the larger risk. Watch for changes in language around pending cases — shifts from "remote" to "reasonably possible" or increases in estimated loss ranges signal deteriorating outcomes. Unconditional purchase obligations and take-or-pay contracts create fixed cost structures that reduce operational flexibility. Guarantee arrangements for subsidiaries or joint ventures can create cascading obligations. Compare the total commitment schedule against projected free cash flow to assess whether the company can meet its obligations without additional financing.
