THE BALDWIN INSURANCE GROUP, INC.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. (“Baldwin” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 1, 2019 as BRP Group, Inc. On May 2, 2024, the Company was renamed The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. Baldwin is a diversified insurance agency and services organization that markets and sells insurance products and services to its Clients throughout the U.S. A significant portion of the Company’s business is concentrated in the Southeastern U.S., with several other regional concentrations. Baldwin and its subsidiaries operate through three reportable segments (“Operating Groups”), including Insurance Advisory Solutions, Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions and Mainstreet Insurance Solutions, which are discussed in more detail in Note 14.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baldwin and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
As the sole manager of The Baldwin Insurance Group Holdings, LLC (formerly Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC) (“Baldwin Holdings”), Baldwin operates and controls all the business and affairs of Baldwin Holdings, and has the sole voting interest in, and controls the management of, Baldwin Holdings. Accordingly, Baldwin consolidates Baldwin Holdings in its consolidated financial statements, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to the membership interests of Baldwin Holdings (the “LLC Units”) held by Baldwin Holdings’ members in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“Topic 810”). Topic 810 requires that if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. The Company has recognized certain entities as variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and has included the accounts of these entities in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest entities.
Topic 810 also requires that the equity of a noncontrolling interest shall be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within total equity of the Company. Certain redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as mezzanine equity. Topic 810 also requires revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income or loss to be reported in the consolidated financial statements at consolidated amounts, which include amounts attributable to the owners of the parent and the noncontrolling interests.
Unaudited Interim Financial Reporting
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair statement have been included. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the application of guidance for revenue recognition; impairment of intangible assets and goodwill; the valuation of contingent consideration; and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
10


Changes in Presentation
As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, beginning in January 2024, the Company’s FounderShield Partner moved from the Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group to the Insurance Advisory Solutions Operating Group. Prior year segment reporting information in Note 14 has been recast to conform to the current organizational structure.
In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table using both percentages and reporting currency amounts. ASU 2023-09 also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects the adoption of this standard to expand its income tax disclosures, but otherwise have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to enhance the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as an aggregate amount of other segment items included within segment profit or loss and a description of its composition. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires a description of how the CODM utilizes the reported measure of segment operating results to assess segment performance. ASU 2023-07 also requires enhanced interim disclosure requirements effectively making annual disclosures a requirement for interim reporting. The annual requirements of ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company January 1, 2024, at which time it was adopted. The Company will include the new disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 as required. New interim period disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025 and will be included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q at that time.
2. Business Divestitures
Since its launch in January 2020, the Company's specialty wholesale broker business (the “Wholesale Business”), operating within the Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group, had not benefited from the same degree of capital allocation, focus and prioritization as the retail and MGA businesses. After assessing the various paths forward for the Wholesale Business, near the end of 2023, management concluded that a plan to sell the Wholesale Business created the greatest opportunity for both the Company and the Wholesale Business.
As of December 31, 2023, the Wholesale Business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The assets and liabilities were recorded as held for sale at their carrying value, which was determined to be lower than the fair value of the net assets less costs to sell and, as a result, no loss was recorded relating to the reclassification. The divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations and the Company continued to report the operating results for its Wholesale Business as continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) through February 29, 2024.
On March 1, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of its Wholesale Business for proceeds of approximately $58.9 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The Company derecognized assets of $61.7 million, which included $9.5 million of goodwill, and liabilities of $39.9 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $36.4 million (subject to certain post-closing adjustments), which is included as a component of gain on divestitures in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
11

3. Variable Interest Entities
Topic 810 requires a reporting entity to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) when the reporting entity has a variable interest or combination of variable interests that provide the entity with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company continually assesses whether it has a controlling financial interest in each of its VIEs to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and should, therefore, consolidate each of the VIEs. A reporting entity is considered to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of its VIEs, which include Laureate Insurance Partners, LLC, BKS Smith, LLC, BKS MS, LLC and BKS Partners Galati Marine Solutions, LLC. The Company has consolidated its VIEs into the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Total revenues and expenses of the Company’s consolidated VIEs included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Total assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated VIEs included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2024 and $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023. The assets of the consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated VIEs and the creditors of the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company.
4. Revenue
The following table provides disaggregated revenues by major source:
For the Three Months
 Ended March 31,
(in thousands)20242023
Commission revenue(1)
$322,375 $270,861 
Profit-sharing revenue(2)
20,687 23,162 
Consulting and service fee revenue(3)
20,133 16,508

2,293 3,160 
Investment income(6)
2,271 923 
Total revenues$380,367 $330,446 
__________
(1)    Commission revenue is earned by providing insurance placement services to Clients under direct bill and agency bill arrangements with Insurance Company Partners for private risk management, commercial risk management, wealth management, employee benefits and Medicare insurance types.
(2)    Profit-sharing revenue represents bonus-type revenue that is earned by the Company as a sales incentive provided by certain Insurance Company Partners.
(3)    Service fee revenue is earned for providing insurance placement services to Clients for a negotiated fee and consulting revenue is earned by providing specialty insurance consulting.
(4)    Policy fee revenue represents revenue earned for acting in the capacity of an MGA and fulfilling certain administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners, including delivery of policy documents, processing payments and other administrative functions. Installment fee revenue represents revenue earned by the Company for providing payment processing services on behalf of Insurance Company Partners related to policy premiums paid on an installment basis.
(5)    Other income includes other ancillary income, premium financing income, and marketing income that is based on agreed-upon cost reimbursement for fulfilling specific targeted Medicare marketing campaigns.
(6)    Investment income represents interest earnings on available cash invested in treasury money market funds.
The application of Topic 606 requires the use of management judgment. The following are the areas of most significant judgment as it relates to Topic 606:
The Company considers the policyholders as representative of its customers in the majority of contractual relationships, with the exception of Medicare contracts in its Mainstreet Insurance Solutions Operating Group, where the Insurance Company Partner is considered its customer.
12

Medicare contracts in the Mainstreet Insurance Solutions Operating Group are multi-year arrangements in which the Company is entitled to renewal commissions. However, the Company has applied a constraint to renewal commissions that limits revenue recognized when a risk of significant reversals exists based on: (i) historical renewal patterns; and (ii) the influence of external factors outside of the Company’s control, including policyholder discretion over plans and Insurance Company Partner relationship, political influence, and a contractual provision, which limits the Company’s right to receive renewal commissions to ongoing compliance and regulatory approval of the relevant Insurance Company Partner and compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The Company recognizes separately contracted commission revenue at the effective date of insurance placement and considers any ongoing interaction with the customer to be insignificant in the context of the obligations of the contract.
Variable consideration includes estimates of direct bill commissions, reserves for policy cancellations and accruals for profit-sharing income.
Costs to obtain a contract are deferred and recognized over five years, which represents management’s estimate of the average benefit period for new business.
Due to the relatively short time period between the information gathering phase and binding insurance coverage, the Company has determined that costs to fulfill contracts are not significant. Therefore, costs to fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.
5. Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets arise when the Company recognizes (i) revenue for amounts that have not yet been billed and (ii) receivables for premiums to be collected on behalf of Insurance Company Partners. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract before the transfer of a good or service to the customer. Contract assets are included in premiums, commissions and fees receivable, net and contract liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The balances of contract assets and liabilities arising from contracts with customers were as follows:
(in thousands)March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Contract assets$415,256 $342,692 
Contract liabilities32,969 30,281 
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized revenue of $23.9 million related to the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2023.
6. Deferred Commission Expense
The Company pays an incremental amount of compensation in the form of producer commissions on new business. In accordance with ASC Topic 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs, these incremental costs are deferred and amortized over five years, which represents management’s estimate of the average benefit period for new business. Deferred commission expense represents producer commissions that are capitalized and not yet expensed and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The table below provides a rollforward of deferred commission expense:

8. Long-Term Debt
As of March 31, 2024, the JPM Credit Agreement, as amended, provided for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.62 billion, which consisted of (i) a term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.02 billion maturing in October 2027 (the “Term Loan B”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million maturing in April 2027 (the “Revolving Facility”). The JPM Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
The Term Loan B bears interest at term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment between 11 bps and 43 bps, based on the term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin of 350 bps, subject to a term SOFR floor of 50 bps. At March 31, 2024, the outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B of $996.2 million had an applicable interest rate of 8.94%. The outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B are presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $19.0 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at SOFR plus 210 bps to SOFR plus 310 bps based on total net leverage ratio. The outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility of $334.0 million at March 31, 2024 had an applicable interest rate of 8.50%. The Revolving Facility is also subject to a commitment fee of 0.40% on the unused capacity at March 31, 2024.
The JPM Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants and comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants as listed in the underlying agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Caps
The Company uses interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk on its debt by limiting the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows. The interest rate caps limit the variability of the applicable base rate to the amount of the cap. The interest rate caps, which are included as a component of other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are recorded at an aggregate fair value of $0.2 million and $2.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized a loss on interest rate caps of less than $0.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loss on interest rate caps is included as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Fully-vested shares issued to directors, officers and Colleagues during the three months ended March 31, 2024 were vested upon issuance and PSUs issued to officers vest in the quarter following the end of a performance period of three years, while RSAs issued to Colleagues, consultants and officers generally either cliff vest after three to four years or vest ratably over three to five years.
15

The following table summarizes the activity for awards granted by the Company under the Plans:
SharesWeighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value Per Share
Non-vested awards outstanding at December 31, 20233,521,590 $29.22

Non-vested awards outstanding at March 31, 20243,302,689 28.92 
The total fair value of shares that vested and settled under the Plans was $16.9 million and $13.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Share-based compensation is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the respective awards and includes expense related to issuances under the Plans. Share-based compensation also includes the portion of annual bonuses that are payable in fully-vested shares of Class A common stock. The Company recognizes share-based compensation expense for the Plans net of actual forfeitures. The Company recorded share-based compensation expense of $14.1 million and $13.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Share-based compensation expense is included in commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
11. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share:
For the Three Months
 Ended March 31,
(in thousands, except per share data)20242023
Basic earnings (loss) per share:
Net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin$21,578 $(14,132)
Shares used for basic earnings (loss) per share:
Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic61,85658,712
Basic earnings (loss) per share$0.35 $(0.24)
Diluted earnings (loss) per share:
Net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin$21,578 $(14,132)
Shares used for diluted earnings (loss) per share:
Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - basic61,856 58,712 
Dilutive effect of unvested stock awards3,458  
Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted65,314 58,712 
Diluted earnings (loss) per share$0.33 $(0.24)
16

Potentially dilutive securities consist of unvested stock awards, including RSAs and PSUs, in addition to shares of Class B common stock, which can be exchanged (together with a corresponding number of LLC Units) for shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the Company's diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding calculation for the periods presented as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
For the Three Months
 Ended March 31,
20242023
Unvested RSAs and PSUs 3,265,880 
Shares of Class B common stock51,993,913 53,670,277 
The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings or losses attributable to Baldwin, and therefore, are not participating securities. Accordingly, a separate presentation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share of Class B common stock under the two-class method has not been included.
12. Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”) established a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820 are described below:
Level 1:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value measurement level for assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis within each level of the fair value hierarchy:
(in thousands)March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Level 2
Interest rate caps$236 $2,562 
Level 2 Assets$236 $2,562 
Level 3
Contingent earnout liabilities$235,865 $276,467 
Level 3 Liabilities$235,865 $276,467 
The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.
17

Methodologies used for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are based on limited unobservable inputs. These methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The fair value of contingent earnout liabilities is based on sales projections for the acquired entities, which are reassessed each reporting period. Based on the Company’s ongoing assessment of the fair value of its contingent earnout liabilities, the Company recorded a net increase in the estimated fair value of such liabilities of $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company has assessed the maximum estimated exposure to the contingent earnout liabilities to be $547.7 million at March 31, 2024.
The Company measures contingent earnout liabilities at fair value each reporting period using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a probability weighted value analysis as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are sales projections over the earnout period, and the probability outcome percentages assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earnout liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount settled, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount settled will be recorded in earnings for business combinations, or as a change in the cost of the assets acquired for asset acquisitions.
The fair value of the contingent earnout liabilities is based on Monte Carlo simulations that measure the present value of the expected future payments to be made to Partners in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company estimates the Partner’s future performance using financial projections developed by management for the Partner and market participant assumptions that were derived for revenue growth, the number of rental units tracked or the insured value of sourced homeowners insurance. Revenue growth rates generally ranged from 9% to 25% at March 31, 2024 and from 10% to 35% at December 31, 2023. The Company estimates future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and these financial projections. These payments are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the Partner to achieve the targets. These discount rates generally ranged from 10.00% to 12.25% at March 31, 2024 and from 7.50% to 13.75% at December 31, 2023. Changes in financial projections, market participant assumptions for revenue growth, or the risk-adjusted discount rate, would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s contingent earnout liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 assumptions in their valuation:
For the Three Months

Balance at end of period$235,865 $286,157 
__________
(1)    The Company reclassified $3.6 million of its contingent earnout liabilities through the issuance of an earnout incentive bonus payable to Colleagues during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which results in a reduction to the change in fair value of contingent consideration and an increase to commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The earnout incentive bonus that remains unpaid at the end of the period is reflected as Colleague earnout incentives in Note 7.
(2)    The Company settled $5.6 million of its contingent earnout liabilities through the issuance of related party notes payable during the three months ended March 31, 2024. $1.5 million of contingent earnout liabilities settled through the issuance of related party notes payable in a prior period was included in payments of contingent earnout consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 when the related party notes payable were paid.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The fair value of long-term debt and the revolving line of credit is based on an estimate using a discounted cash flow analysis and current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt and the revolving line of credit were as follows:
Fair Value HierarchyMarch 31, 2024December 31, 2023

__________
(1)    The carrying amount of long-term debt reflects outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B, which are presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $19.0 million and $20.3 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2024, Baldwin Holdings has a remaining commitment to the University of South Florida (“USF”) to donate $4.2 million through October 2028. The gift will provide support for the School of Risk Management and Insurance in the USF Muma College of Business. It is currently anticipated that Lowry Baldwin, the Company’s Chairman, will fund half of the amounts to be donated by Baldwin Holdings.
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. A liability is recorded when a loss is considered probable and is reasonably estimable in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
14. Segment Information
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company’s FounderShield Partner moved from the Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group to the Insurance Advisory Solutions Operating Group. Prior year segment reporting information within this note has been recast to conform to the current organizational structure.
Baldwin’s business is divided into three Operating Groups: Insurance Advisory Solutions, Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions and Mainstreet Insurance Solutions.
The Insurance Advisory Solutions (“IAS”) Operating Group provides expertly-designed commercial risk management, employee benefits and private risk management solutions for businesses and high-net-worth individuals, as well as their families, through our national footprint which has assimilated some of the highest quality independent insurance brokers in the country with vast and varied strategic capabilities and expertise.
The Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions (“UCTS”) Operating Group consists of two distinct businesses—our MGA of the Future platform and our newly launched reinsurance brokerage business, Juniper Re. Through its MGA of the Future platform, the Company manufactures proprietary, technology-enabled insurance products that are then distributed (in many instances via technology and/or API integrations) internally via Risk Advisors across its other Operating Groups and externally via select distribution partners, with a focus on sheltered channels where our products deliver speed, ease of use and certainty of execution, an example of which is the national embedded renters insurance product sold at point of lease via integrations with property management software providers. UCTS’ Wholesale Business was sold in the first quarter of 2024 and its operations are included in our results through February 29, 2024.
The Mainstreet Insurance Solutions (“MIS”) Operating Group offers personal insurance, commercial insurance and life and health solutions to individuals and businesses in their communities, with a focus on accessing Clients via sheltered distribution channels, which include, but are not limited to, new home builders, realtors, mortgage originators/lenders, master planned communities, and various other community centers of influence. The MIS Operating Group also offers consultation for government assistance programs and solutions, including traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Affordable Care Act, to seniors and eligible individuals through a network of primarily independent contractor agents.
19

In all its Operating Groups, the Company generates commissions from insurance placement under both agency bill and direct bill arrangements, and profit-sharing income based on either the underlying book of business or performance, such as loss ratios. All Operating Groups also generate other ancillary income and premium financing income.
In the IAS and UCTS Operating Groups, the Company generates fees from service fee and consulting arrangements. Service fee arrangements are in place with certain Clients for providing insurance placement services.
In the UCTS Operating Group, the Company generates fees from policy fee and installment fee arrangements. Policy fee revenue is earned for acting in the capacity of an MGA and providing payment processing services and other administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners.
In the MIS Operating Group, the Company generates commissions and fees from marketing income, which is earned through co-branded Medicare marketing campaigns with the Company’s Insurance Company Partners.
In addition, the Company generates investment income in the IAS and UCTS Operating Groups and the Corporate and Other non-reportable segment (“Corporate and Other”).
The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, uses net income (loss) and net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and one-time transactional-related expenses or non-recurring items to manage resources and make decisions about the business.
Summarized financial information regarding the Company’s Operating Groups is shown in the following tables. Corporate and Other includes any expenses not allocated to the Operating Groups and corporate-related items, including interest expense. Intersegment revenue and expenses are eliminated through Corporate and Other. Service center expenses and other overhead are allocated to the Company’s Operating Groups based on either revenue or headcount as applicable to each expense.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates, and beliefs. Our actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions consists of two distinct businesses—our MGA of the Future platform and our newly launched reinsurance brokerage business, Juniper Re. Through our MGA of the Future platform, we manufacture proprietary, technology-enabled insurance products that are then distributed (in many instances via technology and/or API integrations) internally via our Risk Advisors across our other Operating Groups and externally via select distribution partners, with a focus on sheltered channels where our products deliver speed, ease of use and certainty of execution, an example of which is the national embedded renters insurance product sold at point of lease via integrations with property management software providers. As a prominent growth driver for the Company, we have invested heavily in the expansion of our MGA of the Future product suite, which is now comprised of more than 12 products across both commercial and personal lines, including new product launches in 2023 (high-net-worth homeowners, flood and commercial property products). UCTS’ Wholesale Business was sold in the first quarter of 2024 and its operations are included in our results through the end of February 2024.
22

Mainstreet Insurance Solutions offers personal insurance, commercial insurance and life and health solutions to individuals and businesses in their communities, with a focus on accessing Clients via sheltered distribution channels, which include, but are not limited to, new home builders, realtors, mortgage originators/lenders, master planned communities, and various other community centers of influence. We have invested deeply in talent, technology and capabilities across MIS, including in Westwood's homeowners solutions that are embedded in many of the top home builders in the U.S., the national expansion of our distribution footprint through our National Mortgage and Real Estate Center, and enhanced digital capabilities focused on improving the Advisor and Client experience.

In 2011, we adopted the “Azimuth” as our corporate and cultural constitution. Named after a historical navigation tool used to find “true north,” the Azimuth asserts our core values, business basics and stakeholder promises. The ideals encompassed by the Azimuth support our mission to deliver indispensable, tailored insurance and risk management insights and solutions to our Clients. We strive to be regarded as the preeminent insurance advisory firm—fueled by relationships, powered by people and exemplified by client adoption and loyalty. This type of environment is upheld by the distinct vernacular we use to describe our services and culture. We are a Firm, instead of an agency; we have Colleagues, instead of employees; and we have Risk Advisors, instead of producers/agents. We serve Clients instead of customers and we refer to our strategic acquisitions as Partnerships. We refer to insurance brokerages that we have acquired, or in the case of asset acquisitions, the producers, as Partners.
Seasonality
The insurance brokerage market is seasonal and our results of operations are somewhat affected by seasonal trends. Our adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margins are typically highest in the first quarter and lowest in the fourth quarter. This variation is primarily due to fluctuations in our revenues, while overhead remains consistent throughout the year. Our revenues are generally highest in the first quarter due to a higher degree of first quarter policy commencements and renewals in certain Insurance Advisory Solutions and Mainstreet Insurance Solutions lines of business such as employee benefits, commercial and Medicare. In addition, a higher proportion of our first quarter revenue is derived from our highest margin businesses.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2024 AND 2023
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the related notes and other financial information included elsewhere in this report.
In addition to historical financial information, the following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Our actual results and timing of selected events may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed under Part I, Item 1A.

Commissions and Fees
We earn commissions and fees by facilitating the arrangement between Insurance Company Partners and Clients for the carrier to provide insurance to the insured party. Our commissions are usually a percentage of the premium paid by the insured and generally depend on the type of insurance, the particular Insurance Company Partner and the nature of the services provided. Under certain arrangements with Clients, we earn pre-negotiated service fees for insurance placement services. Additionally, we earn policy fees for acting in the capacity of an MGA and fulfilling certain administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners, including delivery of policy documents, processing payments and other administrative functions. We may also receive profit-sharing commissions, which represent forms of variable consideration paid by Insurance Company Partners associated with the placement of coverage. Profit-sharing commissions are generally based primarily on underwriting results, but may also contain considerations for volume, growth or retention. Other revenue streams include other ancillary income, premium financing income, and marketing income based on negotiated cost reimbursement for fulling specific targeted Medicare marketing campaigns.
Commissions and fees increased $48.6 million, or 15%, year over year to $378.1 million driven by organic growth in core commissions and fees of $53.8 million related to new and renewal business across Client industry sectors and continued outperformance from our MGA of the Future platform, partially offset by a reduction in profit-sharing and other revenue of $2.7 million, driven by timing differences and historically strong underwriting performance in the prior year period, and foregone commissions and fees of $2.5 million derived from our Wholesale Business in March 2023 and for which there were no comparable revenues earned in March 2024.

Investment Income
Investment income is earned by investing assets held in trust. Investment income increased $1.3 million year over year due to improvements in our cash management strategy and growing yield on our invested cash.
Commissions, Employee Compensation and Benefits
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits is our largest expense. It consists of (i) base compensation comprising salary, bonuses and benefits paid and payable to Colleagues, commissions paid to Colleagues and outside commissions paid to others; and (ii) equity-based compensation associated with the grants of restricted and unrestricted stock awards to senior management, Colleagues, Risk Advisors and directors. We expect to continue to experience a general rise in commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense commensurate with expected revenue growth as our compensation arrangements with our Colleagues and Risk Advisors contain significant bonus or commission components driven by the results of our operations. In addition, we operate in competitive markets for human capital and need to maintain competitive compensation levels as we expand geographically and create new products and services.
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expenses increased $31.1 million, or 13%, year over year as a result of increases in outside commissions and Colleague compensation and benefits. Outside commissions increased $15.5 million, or 34%, in line with growth in core commissions and fees. Colleague compensation and benefits increased $10.6 million, or 6%, from supporting the growth of our business. Notably, we are beginning to see operating leverage in our fixed salary expense, which we expect to continue over the next several quarters. Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense also increased $3.6 million related to contingent earnout liabilities that were reclassified, at the Partner's option, to an earnout incentive bonus that will be paid out to Colleagues.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses include travel, accounting, legal and other professional fees, placement fees, rent, office expenses and other costs associated with our operations. Our occupancy-related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the number of our Colleagues and the overall size and scale of our business operations.
Other operating expenses decreased $0.8 million year over year, due in part to certain cost saving measures we have implemented, including the renegotiation of vendor contracts, and post Partnership integration operational efficiencies gained. The decrease in other operating expenses was driven by lower infrastructure-related costs of $2.7 million and professional fees of $1.1 million, partially offset by higher E&O claims and settlements expense of $1.4 million and payment processing fees for our MGA business of $1.3 million.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration was a $12.7 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a $24.8 million loss for the same period of 2023. The fair value loss related to contingent consideration for 2024 was impacted by positive changes in revenue growth trends of certain partners and accretion of the contingent earnout obligations approaching their respective measurement dates.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased $3.7 million year over year resulting from the higher interest rate environment. We expect interest expense to remain relatively flat or increase slightly in the near-term.
Gain on Divestitures
Gain on divestitures are the result of a $36.4 million gain recorded in connection with the sale of our Wholesale Business during the first quarter of 2024.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic revenue, organic revenue growth, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures, including commissions and fees (for organic revenue and organic revenue growth), net income (loss) (for adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin), net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin (for adjusted net income) or diluted earnings (loss) per share (for adjusted diluted EPS), which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for commissions and fees, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin, diluted earnings (loss) per share or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain items of income and expense, including share-based compensation expense, transaction-related Partnership and integration expenses, severance, and certain non-recurring items, including those related to raising capital. We believe that adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of income and expenses that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue. Adjusted EBITDA margin is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA margin is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of income and expenses that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe that adjusted EBITDA margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level.
Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin have important limitations as analytical tools. For example, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin:
do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;
do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
do not reflect share-based compensation expense and other non-cash charges; and
exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
We calculate organic revenue based on commissions and fees for the relevant period by excluding (i) the first twelve months of commissions and fees generated from new Partners and (ii) commissions and fees from divestitures. Organic revenue growth is the change in organic revenue period-to-period, with prior period results adjusted to (i) include commissions and fees that were excluded from organic revenue in the prior period because the relevant Partners had not yet reached the twelve-month owned mark, but which have reached the twelve-month owned mark in the current period, and (ii) exclude commissions and fees related to divestitures from organic revenue. For example, commissions and fees from a Partner acquired on June 1, 2023 are excluded from organic revenue for 2023. However, after June 1, 2024, results from June 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 for such Partners are compared to results from June 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 for purposes of calculating organic revenue growth in 2024. Organic revenue growth is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that organic revenue and organic revenue growth are appropriate measures of operating performance as they allow investors to measure, analyze and compare growth in a meaningful and consistent manner.
26

We define adjusted net income as net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin adjusted for depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain items of income and expense, including share-based compensation expense, transaction-related Partnership and integration expenses, severance, and certain non-recurring costs that, in the opinion of management, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results, and the related tax effect of those adjustments. We believe that adjusted net income is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of income and expenses that do not relate to business performance.
Adjusted diluted EPS measures our per share earnings excluding certain expenses as discussed above for adjusted net income and assuming all shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Adjusted diluted EPS is calculated as adjusted net income divided by adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We believe adjusted diluted EPS is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per share operating performance across reporting periods.

Commissions and Fees
IAS generates commissions for placing insurance policies on behalf of its Insurance Company Partners. IAS generates profit-sharing income based on either the underlying book of business or performance, such as loss ratios. IAS also generates fees from consulting and service fee arrangements, which are in place with certain Clients for a negotiated fee.
IAS commissions and fees increased $22.2 million, or 11%, year over year to $221.1 million. Growth in our core commissions and fees was driven by 17% sales velocity (new business as a percentage of prior year commissions and fees) and resultant net new business across Client industry sectors, as well as by growth arising from rate and exposure of 3.5%. Additionally, difficulties previously experienced in the construction industry, which caused a slowdown in job starts during 2023, have normalized in 2024.
Investment Income
IAS investment income increased $0.9 million year over year due to improvements in our cash management strategy and growing yield on our invested cash.
Commissions, Employee Compensation and Benefits
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense for IAS increased $18.7 million, or 15%, year over year, primarily as a result of colleague compensation and benefits, which increased $13.4 million, or 11%, in line with the growth in IAS’ commissions and fees. IAS commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense for 2024 also included $3.6 million related to contingent earnout liabilities that were reclassified, at the Partner's option, to an earnout incentive bonus payable to Colleagues.
30

Other Operating Expenses,
Other operating expenses for IAS decreased $0.9 million year over year, due in part to certain cost saving measures we have implemented, including the renegotiation of vendor contracts, and post Partnership integration operational efficiencies gained, offset in part by higher costs incurred to support the growth in IAS.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration for IAS was a $10.1 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a $17.4 million loss for the same period of 2023. The fair value loss related to contingent consideration for 2024 was impacted by positive changes in revenue growth trends of certain Partners and accretion of the contingent earnout obligations approaching their respective measurement dates.
UNDERWRITING, CAPACITY & TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS OPERATING GROUP RESULTS
The Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group (“UCTS”) consists of two distinct businesses—our MGA of the Future platform and our newly launched reinsurance brokerage business, Juniper Re. Through our MGA of the Future platform, we manufacture proprietary, technology-enabled insurance products with a focus on sheltered channels where our products deliver speed, ease of use and certainty of execution, an example of which is our national embedded renters insurance product sold at point of lease via integrations with property management software providers. Our MGA of the Future product suite is now comprised of more than 12 products across personal, commercial and specialty lines. UCTS’ Wholesale Business was sold in the first quarter of 2024 and its operations are included in our results through February 29, 2024.
Effective January 1, 2024, our FounderShield Partner moved from UCTS to IAS. Prior year results of operations for UCTS below have been recast to conform to the current organizational structure.

Commissions and Fees
UCTS generates commissions for underwriting and placing insurance policies on behalf of its Insurance Company Partners. In addition, UCTS generates policy fee and installment fee revenue for acting in the capacity of an MGA and fulfilling certain administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners, including delivery of policy documents, processing payments and other administrative functions. UCTS also generates profit-sharing income, generally based on the profitability on the underlying book of business of the policies it generates on behalf of its Insurance Company Partners. Furthermore, UCTS generates fees from service fee arrangements, which are in place with certain customers for a negotiated fee.
31

UCTS commissions and fees increased $16.6 million, or 19%, year over year to $103.0 million. The increase is primarily attributable to higher core commissions and fees, which was driven by continued outperformance in our multi-family business (accounting for $8.8 million of the year-over-year increase in core commissions and fees), momentum in our homeowners and commercial umbrella products (accounting for $8.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of the year-over-year increase in core commissions and fees), and new business across our other product lines, partially offset by a year-over-year reduction in profit-sharing revenue driven by timing differences and historically strong underwriting performance in the prior year period.
Investment Income
UCTS investment income increased $0.8 million year over year due to improvements in our cash management strategy and growing yield on our invested cash.
Commissions, Employee Compensation and Benefits
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense for UCTS includes both outside commissions paid to partners that distribute UCTS' MGA products and compensation paid to Colleagues and outside contractors. Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense for UCTS increased $18.9 million year over year as a result of increases in outside commissions and other compensation. Outside commissions increased $13.3 million, or 31%, in line with the growth in UCTS’ core commissions and fees. Colleague compensation and benefits increased $5.6 million, or 27%, driven by continued investments in headcount to support the growth of existing and new products.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses for UCTS were flat year over year. Significant drivers include generally higher costs to support the growth of the business (including an increase in payment processing fees), offset by expense reductions relating to certain cost saving measures we have implemented and a reduction in Partnership integration expenses.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration for UCTS was a $2.8 million loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a $6.3 million loss for the same period of 2023. The fair value loss related to contingent consideration for 2024 was impacted by positive changes in revenue growth trends of certain partners and accretion of the contingent earnout obligations approaching their respective measurement dates.
Other Income
Other income for UCTS was driven by a $36.4 million gain recorded in connection with the sale of our Wholesale Business during the first quarter of 2024.

MIS generates commissions for placing insurance policies on behalf of its Insurance Company Partners. In addition, MIS generates profit-sharing income based on either the underlying book of business or performance, such as loss ratios. MIS also generates commissions and fees in the form of marketing income, which is earned through co-branded marketing campaigns with our Insurance Company Partners.
MIS commissions and fees increased $13.6 million, or 23%, year over year to $71.7 million. MIS core commissions and fees grew organically by $12.0 million driven by our legacy Mainstreet business (accounting for $5.1 million of the year-over-year increase in core commissions and fees), our Westwood Partner (accounting for $5.0 million of the year-over-year increase in core commissions and fees), and the national mortgage and real estate channel (accounting for $1.8 million of the year-over-year increase in core commissions and fees). In addition, MIS profit-sharing and other revenue increased $1.8 million primarily resulting from improvements in loss ratios and the number of policies sold.
Commissions, Employee Compensation and Benefits
Commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense for MIS increased $9.3 million, or 27%, year over year due to outside commissions, which increased $5.0 million, or 35%, relating to growth in our Westwood and legacy Mainstreet businesses, and Colleague compensation and benefits, which increased $4.1 million, or 20%, in line with growth in commissions and fees.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses for MIS were flat year over year. Significant drivers include lower costs for advertising and marketing and licenses and taxes, offset in part by higher technology-related costs and travel and entertainment.
Change in Fair Value of Contingent Consideration
Change in fair value of contingent consideration for MIS was a $0.2 million gain for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a $1.1 million loss for the same period of 2023. The fair value gain related to contingent consideration for 2024 was impacted by an unfavorable change in revenue growth trends for one of our partners.

Commissions and Fees
Corporate and Other records the elimination of intercompany commissions from the Operating Groups. During the first quarter of 2024, UCTS recorded intercompany commissions of $17.0 million related to the QBE Program Administrator Agreement and agency bill arrangements, and MIS recorded intercompany commissions of $0.7 million under agency bill and direct bill arrangements.
The year-over-year increase in intercompany commissions is related to the QBE Program Administrator Agreement. We expect revenue recognized from this agreement to continue to grow as we serve as the MGA on more intersegment revenue such as homeowners insurance sold through MIS.
Commissions, Employee Compensation and Benefits
Corporate and Other records the elimination of intercompany commissions expense from the Operating Groups. Corporate and Other commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense decreased $15.8 million year over year. Significant drivers of the decrease in Corporate and Other commissions include a $4.1 million decrease in administrative compensation due, in part, to a decrease in corporate-related headcount, a $3.8 million increase in intercompany commissions expense eliminations, and a decrease in share-based compensation related to the retirement of two of our executive officers at the end of 2023.
A significant portion of the intercompany commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense recorded to Corporate and Other is related to the QBE Program Administrator Agreement. We expect commissions, employee compensation and benefits expense related to this agreement to continue to grow as we serve as the MGA on more intersegment revenue such as homeowners insurance sold through MIS.
34

Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses in Corporate and Other were flat year over year. Corporate and Other incurred higher costs for our tax receivable agreement and licenses and taxes of $0.5 million each and professional fees of $0.4 million. These increases were offset in part by lower costs for travel and entertainment of $0.5 million and infrastructure-related costs of $0.5 million, which are due, in part, to certain cost saving measures we have implemented, including the renegotiation of vendor contracts, and operational efficiencies gained from Partnership integration projects by our Operating Groups during 2023.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net, increased $3.5 million year over year resulting from the higher interest rate environment. We expect interest expense to remain relatively flat or increase slightly in the near-term.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary liquidity needs for the foreseeable future will include cash to (i) provide capital to facilitate the organic growth of our business and to fund future Partnerships, (ii) pay operating expenses, including cash compensation to our employees and expenses related to being a public company, (iii) make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, (iv) pay interest and principal due on borrowings under the JPM Credit Agreement, (v) pay contingent earnout liabilities, (vi) pay income taxes, and (vii) fund potential investments in third party businesses that support the growth of our business, which may include Emerald Bay or sponsorship of, and a minority, non-controlling interest in, other investment funds, the purpose of which may include facilitating the establishment of additional and alternative capacity that supports the growth of our MGA of the Future business.
We have historically financed our operations and funded our debt service through the sale of our insurance products and services, and we have financed significant cash needs to fund growth through the acquisition of Partners through debt and equity financing.
In the near term, we intend to fund our earnout obligations with cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available borrowings. From time to time, we will consider raising additional debt or equity financing if and as necessary to support our growth, including in connection with the exploration of Partnership opportunities or to refinance existing obligations on an opportunistic basis.
As of March 31, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents were $112.1 million, and we had $266.0 million of available borrowing capacity on the Revolving Facility under the JPM Credit Agreement. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and available borrowings will be sufficient to fund our working capital and meet our commitments for the next twelve months and beyond.
JPM Credit Agreement
As of March 31, 2024, our JPM Credit Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.62 billion, which consists of (i) a term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.02 billion maturing in October 2027 (the “Term Loan B”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million maturing in April 2027 (the “Revolving Facility”).
The Term Loan B accrues interest at term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment between 11 bps and 43 bps, based on the term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin of 350 bps, subject to a term SOFR floor of 50 bps. At March 31, 2024, the outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B of $996.2 million had an applicable interest rate of 8.94%.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at SOFR plus 210 bps to SOFR plus 310 bps based on total net leverage ratio. Baldwin Holdings will pay a letter of credit fee equal to the margin then in effect with respect to SOFR loans under the Revolving Facility multiplied by the daily amount available to be drawn under any letter of credit, a fronting fee and any customary documentary and processing charges for any letter of credit issued under the JPM Credit Agreement. The outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility of $334.0 million had an applicable interest rate of 8.50% at March 31, 2024. The Revolving Facility is also subject to a commitment fee of 0.40% on the unused capacity at March 31, 2024.
We have entered into interest rate cap agreements to limit the potential impact of interest rate changes on cash flows. The interest rate caps limit the variability of the base rate to the amount of the cap. The interest rate cap agreements in place at March 31, 2024 mitigate the interest rate volatility on $1.2 billion of debt to a maximum base rate of 7.00% through November 2025.
35

The Revolving Facility and the Term Loan B are collateralized by a first priority lien on substantially all the assets of Baldwin Holdings, including a pledge of all equity securities of certain of its subsidiaries. The JPM Credit Agreement contains covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to make certain restricted payments, incur additional debt, engage in certain asset sales, mergers, acquisitions or similar transactions, create liens on assets, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, change our business, make certain investments or restrict Baldwin Holdings’ ability to make dividends or other distributions to Baldwin. In addition, the JPM Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain our Total First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement) at or below 7.00 to 1.00.

(1)    Represents noncancelable operating leases for our facilities. Operating lease expense was $5.4 million and $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2)    Represents scheduled debt obligations and estimated interest payments under the JPM Credit Agreement.
(3)    Represents the total expected future payments to be made to Partners at March 31, 2024.
Our contractual obligations and commitments are comprised of operating lease obligations, principal and interest payments on our borrowings under the JPM Credit Agreement, estimated payments of contingent earnout liabilities and our commitment to the University of South Florida (“USF”).
Our operating lease obligations represent noncancelable agreements for our corporate headquarters and office space for our insurance brokerage business. Our operating lease agreements expire through March 2032. These obligations do not include leases with an initial term of twelve months or less, which are expensed as incurred. We may extend, terminate or otherwise modify or sub-lease facilities as needed to best suit the needs of our business. The lease term is the non-cancelable period of the lease and includes options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that an option will be exercised.
Borrowings outstanding under our JPM Credit Agreement include $996.2 million under the Term Loan B and $334.0 million on the Revolving Facility. Estimated interest payments for outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B and Revolving Facility in the table above were calculated based on applicable interest rates at March 31, 2024 of 8.94% and 8.50%, respectively, through their respective expiration dates of October 2027 and April 2027.
Substantially all of our Partnerships and certain acquisitions of select books of business that do not constitute a complete business enterprise include contractual earnout provisions. We record an estimation of the fair value of the contingent earnout obligations at the Partnership date as a component of the consideration paid. Our contingent earnout obligations are measured at fair value each reporting period based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to Partners in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. The recorded obligations are based on estimates of the Partners’ future performance using financial projections for the earnout period. The aggregate estimated contingent earnout liabilities included on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2024 was $235.9 million, of which $11.3 million must be settled in cash and the remaining $224.6 million can be settled in cash or stock at our option. The undiscounted estimated contingent earnout obligation presented in the table above represents the fair value of the total expected future payments to be made to the Partners. The undiscounted estimated contingent earnout obligation at March 31, 2024 was $256.7 million, of which $12.2 million must be settled in cash and the remaining $244.5 million can be settled in cash or stock at our option. The maximum estimated exposure to the contingent earnout liabilities was $547.7 million at March 31, 2024.
As of March 31, 2024, we have a remaining commitment to USF to donate $4.2 million through October 2028. The gift will provide support for the School of Risk Management and Insurance in the USF Muma College of Business. It is currently anticipated that Lowry Baldwin, our Chairman, will fund half of this commitment.
36

Tax Receivable Agreement
We expect to obtain an increase in our share of the tax basis in the assets of Baldwin Holdings when its LLC Units are redeemed or exchanged for shares of Baldwin’s Class A common stock. This increase in tax basis may have the effect of reducing the future amounts paid to various tax authorities. The increase in tax basis may also decrease gains (or increase losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets.
We have a Tax Receivable Agreement that provides for the payment by us to the parties to the Tax Receivable Agreement of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize as a result of (i) any increase in tax basis in Baldwin’s assets and (ii) tax benefits related to imputed interest deemed arising as a result of payments made under the tax receivable agreement.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we redeemed 800,302 LLC Units of Baldwin Holdings on a one-for-one basis for shares of Class A common stock and cancelled the corresponding shares of Class B common stock. We receive an increase in our share of the tax basis in the net assets of Baldwin Holdings due to the interests being redeemed. We have assessed the realizability of the net deferred tax assets and in that analysis have considered the relevant positive and negative evidence available to determine whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. We have recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets at Baldwin as of March 31, 2024, which will be maintained until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances.
Sources and Uses of Cash
The following table summarizes our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:
For the Three Months
 Ended March 31,
(in thousands)20242023Variance
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities$2,894 $(14,031)$16,925

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period$234,317 $186,819 $47,498 
Operating Activities
The primary sources and uses of cash for operating activities are net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items and changes in assets and liabilities, or operating working capital, and payment of contingent earnout consideration. Net cash provided by operating activities increased $16.9 million year over year, driven by an increase in cash related to the change in net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash items of $17.0 million and the change in premiums, commissions and fees receivable net of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $14.4 million, offset in part by a decrease in cash relating to higher contingent earnout consideration payments in excess of the liability recognized at the acquisition date of $15.5 million.
Investing Activities
The primary sources and uses of cash for investing activities relate to cash consideration paid to fund Partnerships and other investments to grow our business. Net cash provided by investing activities increased $49.7 million year over year driven by cash proceeds from divestitures, net of cash transferred of $54.4 million, relating to the sale of our Wholesale Business during the first quarter of 2024.
Financing Activities
The primary sources and uses of cash for financing activities relate to the issuance of our Class A common stock; debt servicing costs in connection with the JPM Credit Agreement, as well as purchases, sales and settlements of interest rate caps to mitigate interest rate volatility on that debt; payment of contingent earnout consideration; and other equity transactions. Net cash used in financing activities increased $15.6 million year over year driven by a decrease in cash from additional payments of contingent earnout consideration up to the amount of purchase price accrual of $28.1 million, offset in part by a decrease in net proceeds from borrowings on our credit facilities of $12.6 million.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our estimates, judgments and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience, known or expected trends, independent valuations and other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates.
There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to those disclosed in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section under Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Please refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements of this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements that may impact us.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as premium amounts, interest rates and equity prices. We are exposed to market risk through our investments and borrowings under the JPM Credit Agreement. We use derivative instruments to mitigate our risk related to the effect of rising interest rates on our cash flows. However, we do not use derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Our invested assets are held primarily as cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. To a lesser extent, we may also utilize certificates of deposit, U.S. treasury securities and professionally managed short duration fixed income funds. These investments are subject to market risk. The fair values of our invested assets at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximated their respective carrying values due to their short-term duration and therefore, such market risk is not considered to be material.
At March 31, 2024, we had $996.2 million and $334.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan B and the Revolving Facility, respectively. These borrowings bear interest on a floating basis tied to either the prime rate or one of various other variable rates as defined in the JPM Credit Agreement. The Term Loan B accrues interest at term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment between 11 bps and 43 bps, based on the term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin of 350 bps, subject to a term SOFR floor of 50 bps. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at SOFR plus 210 bps to SOFR plus 310 bps based on total net leverage ratio. An increase of 100 basis points on the variable interest rates in effect at March 31, 2024 would have increased our annual interest expense for the JPM Credit Agreement by $13.3 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2024 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Section 2.01. Place of Meetings. Meetings of Stockholders may be held within or without the State of Delaware, at such place or solely by means of remote communication or otherwise, as may be designated by the Board from time to time.
Section 2.02. Annual Meetings; Stockholder Proposals.
(a)    A meeting of Stockholders for the election of Directors and other business shall be held annually at such date and time as may be designated by the Board from time to time.
(b)    At an annual meeting of the Stockholders, only business (other than business relating to the nomination or election of Directors, which is governed by Section 3.03) that has been properly brought before the
2



Stockholder meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02 shall be conducted. To be properly brought before a meeting of Stockholders, such business must be brought before the meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board or any committee thereof or (ii) by a Stockholder who (A) was a Stockholder of record of the Corporation when the notice required by this Section 2.02 is delivered to the Secretary and at the time of the meeting, (B) is entitled to vote at the meeting and (C) complies with the notice, information and other provisions of this Section 2.02, including, without limitation, by providing timely updates and supplements to the information previously provided pursuant to Section 2.02(f). Subject to Section 2.02(m), and except with respect to nominations or elections of Directors, which are governed by Section 3.03, Section 2.02(b)(ii) is the exclusive means by which a Stockholder may bring business before a meeting of Stockholders; provided that if Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act (or any successor rule) is applicable, a Stockholder may not bring business before any meeting if the Stockholder fails to meet the requirements of such rule. Any business brought before a meeting in accordance with Section 2.02(b)(ii) is referred to as “Stockholder Business.”
(c)    Subject to Section 2.02(m), at any annual meeting of Stockholders, all proposals of Stockholder Business must be made by timely written notice given by or on behalf of a Stockholder of record of the Corporation (the “Notice of Business”) and must otherwise be a proper matter for Stockholder action. To be timely, the Notice of Business must be delivered personally or mailed to, and received at, the Office of the Corporation, addressed to the Secretary, by no earlier than the open of business on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days and no later than the close of business on the date that is ninety (90) days before the first anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that if (i) the annual meeting of Stockholders is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than sixty (60) days, from the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of Stockholders or (ii) no annual meeting was held during the prior year, the notice by the Stockholder to be timely must be received (A) no earlier than the open of business on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days before such annual meeting and (B) no later than the later of the close of business on the date that is ninety (90) days before such annual meeting and the close of business on the date that is the tenth day after the day on which the notice of such annual meeting was made by mail or Public Disclosure. In no event shall an adjournment, recess, postponement or deferral, or Public Disclosure of an adjournment, recess, postponement or deferral, of a Stockholder meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of the Notice of Business.
(d)    The Notice of Business must set forth:
(i)    the name and record address of each Stockholder proposing Stockholder Business (the “Proponent”), as they appear on the Corporation’s books;
(ii)    the name and address of any Stockholder Associated Person and Substantial Participant;

3



Participant with respect to shares of stock of the Corporation or with a value derived in whole or in part from the value or decrease in value of any class or series of stock of the Corporation, whether or not such instrument or right shall be subject to settlement in the underlying class or series of stock of the Corporation or otherwise (a “Derivative”), (E) a description in reasonable detail of any proxy (including revocable proxies), contract, arrangement, understanding or other relationship pursuant to which such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant has a right to vote any shares of stock of the Corporation, (F) any rights to dividends on the stock of the Corporation owned beneficially by such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant that are separated or separable from the underlying stock of the Corporation, (G) any proportionate interest in stock of the Corporation or Derivatives held, directly or indirectly, by a general or limited partnership in which such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant is a general partner or, directly or indirectly, beneficially owns an interest in a general partner, (H) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant is entitled to based on any increase or decrease in the value of stock of the Corporation or Derivatives thereof, if any, as of the date of such notice and (I) any direct or indirect interest of such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant in any contract with the Corporation or any affiliate of the Corporation (including, in any such case, any employment agreement, collective bargaining agreement or consulting agreement).

(iv)    Stockholder Information with respect to any stock or other interests of the Corporation held by members of each Proponent’s or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant’s immediate family sharing the same household;
(v)    as to each Proponent and any Stockholder Associated Person, completed and signed instruments containing: (A) a representation to the Corporation that such Proponent is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such Stockholder Business; (B) a representation to the Corporation as to whether such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant intends or is part of a group (whether at, below or above 5% in beneficial ownership) that intends to (i) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders (including any beneficial owners pursuant to Rule 14b-1 and Rule 14b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock required to approve or adopt such Stockholder Business or (ii) otherwise solicit proxies from the Stockholders in support of such Stockholder Business; and (C) a representation to the Corporation as to whether such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant intends to propose any other business in addition to such Stockholder Business at the meeting;

(vii)    any material interest of each Proponent and any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant in such Stockholder Business;
(viii)    all other information that would be required to be filed with the SEC if the Proponents, Stockholder Associated Persons or Substantial Participants were participants in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act; and
(ix)    a representation and covenant for the benefit of the Corporation that the Proponents shall provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.
4



(e)    The Proponents shall also provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation within ten (10) business days after such request.
(f)    In addition, the Proponent shall further update and supplement the information provided to the Corporation in the Notice of Business or upon the Corporation’s request pursuant to Section 2.02(e) as needed, so that such information shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is the later of ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Such update and supplement must be delivered personally or mailed to, and received at, the Office of the Corporation, addressed to the Secretary, by no later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than seven (7) business days before the date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this Section 2.02(f) shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any Notice of Business provided by a Stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines under these By-laws or enable or be deemed to permit a Stockholder who has previously submitted a Notice of Business under these By-laws to amend or update any such notice.
(g)    The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting that business was not properly brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.02 (or any applicable rule or regulation identified herein), and if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted.
(h)    If the Proponent (or a qualified representative of the Proponent) does not appear at the meeting of Stockholders to present the Stockholder Business (whether pursuant to the requirements of these By-laws or in accordance with Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Exchange Act), such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.02, to be considered a qualified representative of the Stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such Stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such Stockholder to act for such Stockholder as proxy at the meeting of Stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of Stockholders.
(i)    With respect to any Stockholder Business, without limiting any remedy available to the Corporation, a Proponent may not present such Stockholder Business at a meeting, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, if such Proponent or any Stockholder Associated Person or any Substantial Participant acted contrary to any representation, certification or agreement required by this Section 2.02, otherwise failed to fully comply with this Section 2.02 (or with any law, rule or regulation identified in this Section), including, without limitation, failure to provide timely updates and supplements as required, or provided incomplete, false or misleading information to the Corporation.
(j)    “Public Disclosure” of any date or other information means disclosure thereof by a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Services, Associated Press or comparable U.S. national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
(k)    “Stockholder Associated Person” means, with respect to any Stockholder, (i) any other beneficial owner of stock of the Corporation that is owned by such Stockholder, (ii) any affiliates or associates of such Stockholder or any other beneficial owner described in clause (i), and (iii) any person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Stockholder or such other beneficial owner.
5



(l)    “Substantial Participant,” with respect to any Stockholder, means a party substantially participating in such Stockholder’s solicitation campaign by voting agreement, contributing to funding the campaign or making substantial efforts to assist such Stockholder in the campaign or in soliciting proxies, including the nominee; provided that a party will not be deemed a Substantial Participant for this purpose just by virtue of being a proxy solicitor or any other Stockholder that publicly or privately indicates its intention to vote with such Stockholder, supports such Stockholder’s position or encourages other Stockholder to vote with such Stockholder.
(m)    The notice requirements of this Section 2.02 shall be deemed satisfied with respect to Stockholder proposals that have been properly brought under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act and that are included in a proxy statement that has been prepared by the Corporation to solicit proxies for such annual meeting. Further, nothing in this Section 2.02 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation pursuant to any applicable provision of the Certificate of Incorporation.
Section 2.03. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the Stockholders may be called only in the manner set forth in the Certificate of Incorporation. Notice of every special meeting of the Stockholders shall state the purpose or purposes of such meeting. Except as otherwise required by law, the business conducted at a special meeting of Stockholders shall be limited exclusively to the business set forth in the Corporation’s notice of meeting, and the individual or group calling such meeting shall have exclusive authority to determine the business included in such notice.
Section 2.04. Record Date.
(a)    For the purpose of determining the Stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment thereof, unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the Board may fix a record date (the “Notice Record Date”), which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date was adopted by the Board and shall not be more than sixty (60) or less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. The Notice Record Date shall also be the record date for determining the Stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board determines, at the time it fixes such Notice Record Date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination (the “Voting Record Date”). For the purposes of determining the Stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date was adopted by the Board and shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date on which the record date was fixed by the Board. For the purposes of determining the Stockholders entitled to (i) receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, (ii) exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or (iii) take any other lawful action, unless otherwise required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date was adopted by the Board and shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action.
(b)    If no such record date is fixed:
(i)    the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, a meeting of Stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held;
(ii)    the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting (unless otherwise provided in the Certificate of Incorporation), when no prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, shall be the first day on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law; and when prior action by the Board is required by applicable law, the record date for determining Stockholders entitled to express consent to
6



corporate action in writing without a meeting shall be at the close of business on the date on which the Board takes such prior action; and
(iii)    when a determination of Stockholders of record entitled to notice of, or to vote at, any meeting of Stockholders has been made as provided in this Section 2.04, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the Board fixes a new Voting Record Date for the adjourned meeting, in which case the Board shall also fix such Voting Record Date or a date earlier than such date as the new Notice Record Date for the adjourned meeting.
Section 2.05. Notice of Meetings of Stockholders. Whenever, under the provisions of applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, Stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, notice shall be given stating the place, if any, date and hour of the meeting; the means of remote communication, if any, by which Stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting; the Voting Record Date, if such date is different from the Notice Record Date; and, in the case of a special meeting, the purposes for which the meeting is called. Unless otherwise provided by these By-laws or applicable law, notice of any meeting shall be given, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting, to each Stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the Notice Record Date. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the U.S. mail, with postage prepaid, and directed to the Stockholder at his or her address as it appears on the records of the Corporation. An affidavit of the Secretary, an Assistant Secretary or the transfer agent of the Corporation that the notice required by this Section 2.05 has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. If a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. Any business that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called may be transacted at the adjourned meeting. If, however, the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If, after the adjournment, a new Voting Record Date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board shall fix a new Notice Record Date in accordance with Section 2.04(b)(iii) hereof and shall give notice of such adjourned meeting to each Stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the Notice Record Date.
Section 2.06. Waivers of Notice. Whenever the giving of any notice to Stockholders is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, a waiver thereof, given by the person entitled to said notice, whether before or after the event as to which such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance by a Stockholder at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting except when the Stockholder attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business on the ground that the meeting has not been lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purposes of, any regular or special meeting of the Stockholders need be specified in any waiver of notice.
Section 2.07. List of Stockholders. The Secretary shall prepare and make available, at least ten (10) days before every meeting of Stockholders, a complete, alphabetical list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, and showing the address of each Stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each Stockholder. Except as otherwise required by law, in preparing and making available such list of the Stockholders entitled to vote at a meeting, the Corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list may be examined by any Stockholder, the Stockholder’s agent or attorney, at the Stockholder’s expense, for any purpose germane to the meeting, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation or on a reasonably accessible electronic network as provided by applicable law. If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, the list shall also be open for inspection as provided by applicable law. Except as provided by applicable law, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the Stockholders entitled to examine the list of Stockholders or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of Stockholders.
Section 2.08. Quorum of Stockholders; Adjournment. Except as otherwise provided by these By-laws, at each meeting of Stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting of Stockholders shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any business at such meeting, except that, where a separate vote by a class or series of classes of shares is required, a quorum shall consist of no less than a majority of the voting power of all outstanding shares of
7



stock of such class or series of classes, as applicable. In the absence of a quorum, the holders of a majority in voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy at any meeting of Stockholders, including an adjourned meeting, may adjourn such meeting to another time and place. Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of Directors of such other corporation is held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation, shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation to vote stock, including but not limited to its own stock, held by it in a fiduciary capacity.
Section 2.09. Voting; Proxies. Unless otherwise provided by the General Corporation Law or in the Certificate of Incorporation, every Stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of Stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such Stockholder which has voting power upon the matter in question. At any meeting of Stockholders, all matters other than the election of Directors, except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws or any applicable law, shall be decided by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote thereon. At all meetings of Stockholders for the election of Directors, a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect Directors. Each Stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of Stockholders or to express consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such Stockholder by proxy, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy expressly provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only so long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A Stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary a revocation of the proxy or by delivering a new proxy bearing a later date. Any Stockholder, Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant soliciting proxies from other Stockholders must use a proxy card color other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board.
Section 2.10. Voting Procedures and Inspectors at Meetings of Stockholders. The Board, in advance of any meeting of Stockholders, shall appoint one or more inspectors, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting and make a written report thereof. The Board may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. If no inspector or alternate is able to act at a meeting, the person presiding at the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspectors shall (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (b) determine the shares represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (c) count all votes and ballots, (d) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (e) certify their determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and their count of all votes and ballots. The inspectors may appoint or retain other persons or entities to assist the inspectors in the performance of their duties. Unless otherwise provided by the Board, the date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the Stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be determined by the person presiding at the meeting and shall be announced at the meeting. No ballot, proxies, votes or any revocation thereof or change thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware upon application by a Stockholder shall determine otherwise. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of Stockholders, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.
Section 2.11. Conduct of Meetings; Adjournment. The Board may adopt such rules and procedures for the conduct of Stockholder meetings as it deems appropriate. At each meeting of Stockholders, the Chairman or, in the absence of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer or, in the absence of the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, the President or, if there is no Chairman, Chief Executive Officer or President, or if they are absent, a Vice President and, in the case that more than one Vice President shall be present, that Vice President designated by the Board (or in the absence of any such designation, the most senior Vice President present), shall preside over the meeting. Except to the extent inconsistent with the rules and procedures as adopted by the Board, the person presiding over the meeting of Stockholders shall have the right and authority to convene, adjourn and reconvene the meeting from time to time, to prescribe such additional rules and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such person, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules and procedures, whether adopted by the Board or prescribed by the person presiding over the meeting, may include (a) the establishment of
8



an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (b) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, (c) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to Stockholders of record of the Corporation, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the person presiding over the meeting shall determine, (d) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof and (e) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants. The person presiding over any meeting of Stockholders, in addition to making any other determinations that may be appropriate to the conduct of the meeting, may determine and declare to the meeting that a matter or business was not properly brought before the meeting and if such presiding person should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and any such matter or business not properly brought before the meeting shall not be transacted or considered. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board or the person presiding over the meeting, meetings of Stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure. The Secretary or, in his or her absence, one of the Assistant Secretaries, shall act as secretary of the meeting. If none of the officers above designated to act as the person presiding over the meeting or as secretary of the meeting shall be present, a person presiding over the meeting or a secretary of the meeting, as the case may be, shall be designated by the Board and, if the Board has not so acted, in the case of the designation of a person to act as secretary of the meeting, designated by the person presiding over the meeting. To the extent permitted by applicable law, meetings of stockholders may be conducted by remote communications, including by webcast.
Section 2.12. Order of Business. The order of business at all meetings of Stockholders shall be as determined by the person presiding over the meeting.
Section 2.13. Written Consent of Stockholders Without a Meeting. If, and only if, the Certificate of Incorporation expressly permits action to be taken at any annual or special meeting of Stockholders without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, then a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action to be so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered (by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested) to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, the Office of the Corporation or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of Stockholders are recorded. Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each Stockholder who signs the consent, and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required by this Section 2.13, written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation as aforesaid. Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall, to the extent required by applicable law, be given to those Stockholders who have not consented in writing and who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation.

(i)     in the case of the nomination of a Stockholder Nominee for election to the Board at an annual meeting of Stockholders, no earlier than the open of business on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days and no later than the close of business on the date that is ninety (90) days before the first anniversary of the date of the prior year’s annual meeting of Stockholders; provided, however, that if (A) the annual meeting of Stockholders is advanced by more than thirty (30) days, or delayed by more than sixty (60) days, from the first anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting of Stockholders or (B) no annual meeting was held during the prior year, the notice by the Stockholder to be timely must be received (1) no earlier than the open of business on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days before such annual meeting and (2) no later than the later of the close of business on the date that is ninety (90) days before such annual meeting and the close of business on the date that is the tenth day after the day on which the notice of such annual meeting was made by mail or Public Disclosure; and
(ii)    in the case of the nomination of a Stockholder Nominee for election to the Board at a special meeting of Stockholders, no earlier than the open of business on the date that is one hundred and twenty (120) days before and no later than the later of the close of business on the date that is ninety (90) days before such special meeting and the close of business on the date that is the tenth day after the day on which the notice of such special meeting was made by mail or Public Disclosure.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the number of Directors to be elected to the Board at a meeting of Stockholders is increased and there is no Public Disclosure by the Corporation naming the nominees for the additional directorships at least one hundred (100) days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a Notice of Nomination shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for the additional directorships, if it shall be delivered personally and received at the Office of the Corporation, addressed to the attention of the Secretary, no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which such Public Disclosure is first made by the Corporation.
(e)    In no event shall an adjournment, recess, postponement or deferral, or Public Disclosure of an adjournment, recess, postponement or deferral, of an annual or special meeting commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of the Notice of Nomination, and a Stockholder shall
10



not be entitled to make additional or substitute nominations following the expiration of the time periods set forth in these By-laws.
(f)    The Notice of Nomination shall set forth:
(i)    the Stockholder Information with respect to each Nominating Stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant;
(ii)    as to the Nominating Stockholder and any Stockholder Associated Person, completed and signed instruments containing: (A) a representation to the Corporation that the Nominating Stockholder is a holder of record of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote at the meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to propose such nomination and (B) a representation to the Corporation as to whether such Nominating Stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant intends or is part of a group (whether at, below or above 5% in beneficial ownership) that intends to (i) deliver a proxy statement and/or form of proxy to holders (including any beneficial owners pursuant to Rule 14b-1 and Rule 14b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s outstanding capital stock that is reasonably believed by such Nominating Stockholder to be sufficient to approve the nomination, (ii) otherwise solicit proxies from the Stockholders in support of such nomination and/or (iii) solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than the Corporation’s nominees pursuant to Rule 14a-19 promulgated under the Exchange Act;
(iii)    all information regarding each Stockholder Nominee and any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant that would be required to be disclosed in a solicitation of proxies subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act, the written consent of each Stockholder Nominee to being named in any proxy statement, form of proxy and ballot for the applicable meeting as a nominee and to serve for the full term if elected and completed and signed questionnaire(s), representation(s) and agreement(s) required by Section 3.04;
(iv)    a description of all direct and indirect compensation and other material monetary agreements, arrangements and understandings during the past three years, and any other material relationships, between or among a Nominating Stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant or their respective affiliates and associates, on the one hand, and each Stockholder Nominee and his or her respective affiliates and associates, on the other hand, including, without limitation, (i) a representation as to whether such person is a principal, employee or affiliate of the Nominating Stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or Substantial Participant, and (ii) all information that would be required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 promulgated under Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act if the Nominating Stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or any Substantial Participant were the “registrant” for purposes of such rule and the Stockholder Nominee were a director or executive officer of such registrant;
(v)    Stockholder Information with respect to any stock or other interests of the Corporation held by members of the Nominating Stockholder’s or any Stockholder Associated Person’s or any Substantial Participant’s immediate family sharing the same household;
(vi)    all other information that would be required to be filed with the SEC if the Nominating Stockholders, Stockholder Associated Persons and Substantial Participants were participants in a solicitation subject to Section 14 of the Exchange Act;

(viii)    a representation and covenant for the benefit of the Corporation that the Nominating Stockholders shall provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation.
11



(g)    The Nominating Stockholders shall also provide any other information reasonably requested by the Corporation within ten (10) business days after such request.
(h)    In addition, the Nominating Stockholders shall further update and supplement the information provided to the Corporation in the Notice of Nomination or upon the Corporation’s request pursuant to Section 3.03(g) as needed, so that such information shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Such update and supplement must be delivered personally or mailed to, and received at, the Office of the Corporation, addressed to the Secretary, by no later than five (5) business days after the record date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than seven (7) business days before the date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days before the meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this Section 3.03(h) shall not limit the Corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any Notice of Nomination provided by a Stockholder, extend any applicable deadlines under these By-laws or enable or be deemed to permit a Stockholder who has previously submitted a Notice of Nomination under these By-laws to amend or update any such notice, including by changing or adding nominees proposed to be brought before a meeting of Stockholders.
(i)    With respect to nominations pursuant to this Section 3.03, without limiting any remedy available to the Corporation, a Nominating Stockholder may not present such nominations or business at a meeting (and any such nominee shall be disqualified from standing for election or re-election), notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation, if such Nominating Stockholder, any other beneficial owner, any Stockholder Associated Person, any Substantial Participant or any Stockholder Nominee acted contrary to any representation, certification or agreement required by this Section 3.03, otherwise failed to fully comply with this Section 3.03 (or with any law, rule or regulation identified in this Section), including, without limitation, failure to provide timely updates and supplements as required, or provided incomplete, false or misleading information to the Corporation.
(j)    The person presiding over the meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare to the meeting, that the nomination was not made in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.03 (or any applicable rule or regulation identified herein), and, if he or she should so determine, he or she shall so declare to the meeting and the defective nomination shall be disregarded.
(k)    If the Stockholder (or a qualified representative of the Stockholder) does not appear at the applicable Stockholder meeting to nominate the Stockholder Nominees, such nomination shall be disregarded and such business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 3.03, to be considered a qualified representative of the Stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such Stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such Stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such Stockholder to act for such Stockholder as proxy at the meeting of Stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of Stockholders.
(l)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these By-laws, unless otherwise required by law, if any Stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or any Substantial Participant (A) provides a Notice of Nomination pursuant to Rule 14a-19(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to any Stockholder Nominee and (B) subsequently fails to comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(2) or Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or fails to timely provide reasonable evidence sufficient to satisfy the Corporation that such Stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or any Substantial Participant has met the requirements of Rule 14a-19(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act in accordance with the following sentence), then the nomination of each such Stockholder Nominee shall be disregarded, notwithstanding that proxies or votes in respect of the election of such Stockholder Nominees may have been received by the Corporation (which proxies and votes shall be disregarded).
12



(m)    Any Stockholder, any Stockholder Associated Person or any Substantial Participant who has delivered a Notice of Nomination pursuant to this Section 3.03 shall (i) promptly certify to the Corporation in writing that it has complied with the requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, and (ii) upon request of the Corporation, deliver to the Corporation no later than five (5) business days prior to the applicable Stockholder meeting reasonable evidence that it has complied with such requirements.
(n)    Nothing in this Section 3.03 shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of the Corporation pursuant to any applicable provision of the Certificate of Incorporation.
(o)    Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, the Stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (including Rule 14a-19) with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 3.03.
Section 3.04. Nominee and Director Qualifications. Unless the Board determines otherwise or the Stockholders Agreement provides otherwise (as long as such agreement is in effect), to be eligible to be a nominee for election or reelection as a Director, a person must deliver (in accordance with the time periods prescribed for delivery of notice by the Board) to the Secretary at the Office of the Corporation (A) all fully completed and signed questionnaires prepared by the Corporation (including those questionnaires required of the Directors and any other questionnaire the Corporation determines is necessary or advisable to assess whether a nominee will satisfy any qualifications or requirements imposed by the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, any law, rule, regulation or listing standard that may be applicable to the Corporation, and all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance policies and guidelines of the Corporation that are applicable to Directors), in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request of the Nominating Stockholder, and (B) a written representation and agreement (in the form provided by the Secretary upon written request of the Nominating Stockholder) that such person (w) is not and will not become a party to (i) any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such person will act or vote as a Director on any issue or question (a “Voting Commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Corporation or (ii) any Voting Commitment that could limit or interfere with such person’s ability to comply with such person’s fiduciary duties as a Director under applicable law, (x) is not and will not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Corporation with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a Director that has not been disclosed therein, (y) in such person’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, and will comply with all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, conflict of interest, confidentiality and stock ownership and trading and other policies and guidelines of the Corporation that are applicable to Directors, and (z) has (i) informed any other public company board of directors on which he or she serves of his or her intention to serve on the Board and (ii) obtained all required third-party consents to serve on the Board if elected, including from such other public company board of directors. In addition, the Corporation may require any Stockholder Nominee to furnish such other information as may reasonably be required by the Corporation, which may be in the form of an interview with a nominee at the request of the Board, to determine the eligibility of such Stockholder Nominee to serve as an independent director of the Corporation or that could be material to a reasonable Stockholder’s understanding of the independence, or lack thereof, of such nominee.
Section 3.05. Resignation. Any Director may resign at any time by notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the Corporation. Such resignation shall take effect at the date of receipt of such notice or at such later time as is therein specified, and, unless otherwise specified in such resignation, the acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
Section 3.06. Compensation. Each Director, in consideration of his or her service as such, shall be entitled to receive from the Corporation such amount per annum or such fees (payable in cash or equity) for attendance at Directors’ meetings, or both, as the Board may from time to time determine, together with reimbursement for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred by such Director in connection with the performance of his or her duties. Each Director who shall serve as a member of any committee of Directors in consideration of serving as such shall be entitled to such additional amount per annum or such fees for attendance at committee meetings, or both, as the Board may from time to time determine, together with reimbursement for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, if any, incurred by such Director in the performance of his or her duties. Nothing contained in this Section
13



3.06 shall preclude any Director from serving the Corporation or its subsidiaries in any other capacity and receiving proper compensation therefor.

Section 3.09. Telephone Meetings. Board or Board committee meetings may be held by means of telephone conference or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other. Participation by a Director in a meeting pursuant to this Section 3.09 shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.
Section 3.10. Adjourned Meetings. A majority of the Directors present at any meeting of the Board, including an adjourned meeting, whether or not a quorum is present, may adjourn and reconvene such meeting to another time and place. At least twenty-four (24) hours’ notice of any adjourned meeting of the Board shall be given to each Director whether or not present at the time of the adjournment, if such notice shall be given by one of the means specified in Section 3.11 hereof other than by mail, or at least three (3) days’ notice if by mail. Any business may be transacted at an adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally called.

Section 3.12. Waiver of Notice. Whenever the giving of any notice to Directors is required by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, a waiver thereof, in writing signed by the Director entitled to the notice, whether before or after such notice is required, shall be deemed equivalent to notice.

Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special Board or committee meeting need be specified in any waiver of notice.
Section 3.13. Organization. At each meeting of the Board, the Chairman or, in the absence of the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer shall preside.

The presence in person of a majority of the total members of the Board, provided that one of such members present is either the Chairman or the Chief Executive Officer (if the Chief Executive Officer is then a member of the board), shall be necessary and sufficient to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any meeting of the Board.
Section 3.15. Action by Majority Vote. Except as otherwise expressly required by these By-laws, or the Certificate of Incorporation, the vote of a majority of the Directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board; provided that to the extent one or more Directors recuses himself or herself from an act, the act of a majority of the remaining Directors present shall be the act of the Board.
Section 3.16. Action Without Meeting. Unless otherwise restricted by these By-laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all Directors or members of such committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic
14



transmission, and the writings or electronic transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee.
ARTICLE 4

The Board may, by resolution, adopt charters for one or more of such committees. The Board may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of such committee. If a member of a committee shall be absent from any meeting, or disqualified from voting thereat, the remaining member or members present at the meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such member or members constitute a quorum, may, by a unanimous vote, appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Any such committee, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board designating such committee or the charter for such committee, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation and may authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers that may require it to the extent so authorized by the Board. The Board may remove any Director from any committee at any time, with or without cause. Unless the Board provides otherwise, at all meetings of such committee, a majority of the then authorized members of the committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the vote of a majority of the members of the committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the committee. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings. Unless the Board provides otherwise, each committee designated by the Board may make, alter and repeal rules and procedures for the conduct of its business. In the absence of such rules and procedures, each committee shall conduct its business in the same manner as the Board conducts its business pursuant to Article 3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 4.01 shall be inapplicable to the Independent Committee.
Section 4.02. Independent Committee. A committee of the Board (the “Independent Committee”) is designated by the adoption by the Board of this Section 4.02 of these By-laws. The Independent Committee shall be composed of all of the Independent Directors (as defined below) then in office, and any member of the Independent Committee shall automatically be disqualified from serving on the Independent Committee if the Board determines such member is no longer an Independent Director. The Independent Committee shall have the full power and authority of the Board to make, solely for purposes of the Consent and Defense Agreement dated May 8, 2023, between Baldwin Insurance Group Holdings, LLC and the Corporation, as it may be amended from time to time (as so amended from time to time, the “CDA”), any determination contemplated by Paragraphs 1 and 2 thereof, and with respect to amending, waiving or enforcing any term of the CDA, and to take any action and engage any such advisors or counsel as it deems necessary in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the General Corporation Law or these By-laws: (a) in the absence or disqualification of a member of the Independent Committee, the member or members present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting may not appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member; (b) the Independent Committee may not create any subcommittees; (c) all of the members then serving on the Independent Committee shall be required to constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of the Independent Committee; (d) the affirmative vote of all members of the Independent Committee shall be the act of the Independent Committee; (e) the Independent Committee may, but is not required to, elect a chairperson from among its members; and (f) the Independent Committee may make, alter and repeal rules and procedures for the conduct of its business so long as such rules and procedures are not inconsistent with this Section 4.02. “Independent Director” for this purpose means a director who the Board determines both: (i) qualifies as an independent director under the corporate governance standards of Nasdaq and (ii) has no relationship with the Corporation or any Holder that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these By-laws, this Section 4.02 shall not be amended, altered or repealed (and no provision inconsistent with this Section 4.02 shall be adopted) by the Board unless approved by all of the directors then in office. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Independent Committee shall be disbanded, and this Section 4.02 of no further force and effect, on the date the CDA is terminated pursuant to its terms.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Business and Basis of Presentation Business and Basis of Presentation
The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. (“Baldwin” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Delaware on July 1, 2019 as BRP Group, Inc. On May 2, 2024, the Company was renamed The Baldwin Insurance Group, Inc. Baldwin is a diversified insurance agency and services organization that markets and sells insurance products and services to its Clients throughout the U.S. A significant portion of the Company’s business is concentrated in the Southeastern U.S., with several other regional concentrations. Baldwin and its subsidiaries operate through three reportable segments (“Operating Groups”), including Insurance Advisory Solutions, Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions and Mainstreet Insurance Solutions, which are discussed in more detail in Note 14.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baldwin and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
As the sole manager of The Baldwin Insurance Group Holdings, LLC (formerly Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC) (“Baldwin Holdings”), Baldwin operates and controls all the business and affairs of Baldwin Holdings, and has the sole voting interest in, and controls the management of, Baldwin Holdings. Accordingly, Baldwin consolidates Baldwin Holdings in its consolidated financial statements, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to the membership interests of Baldwin Holdings (the “LLC Units”) held by Baldwin Holdings’ members in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“Topic 810”). Topic 810 requires that if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. The Company has recognized certain entities as variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and has included the accounts of these entities in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest entities.
Topic 810 also requires that the equity of a noncontrolling interest shall be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within total equity of the Company. Certain redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as mezzanine equity. Topic 810 also requires revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income or loss to be reported in the consolidated financial statements at consolidated amounts, which include amounts attributable to the owners of the parent and the noncontrolling interests.
Unaudited Interim Financial Reporting
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and related notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, considered necessary for fair statement have been included. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet for the year ended December 31, 2023 was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the application of guidance for revenue recognition; impairment of intangible assets and goodwill; the valuation of contingent consideration; and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Changes in Presentation
As previously disclosed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, beginning in January 2024, the Company’s FounderShield Partner moved from the Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group to the Insurance Advisory Solutions Operating Group. Prior year segment reporting information in Note 14 has been recast to conform to the current organizational structure.
In addition, certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on the Company’s previously reported consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table using both percentages and reporting currency amounts. ASU 2023-09 also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects the adoption of this standard to expand its income tax disclosures, but otherwise have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to enhance the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as an aggregate amount of other segment items included within segment profit or loss and a description of its composition. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires a description of how the CODM utilizes the reported measure of segment operating results to assess segment performance. ASU 2023-07 also requires enhanced interim disclosure requirements effectively making annual disclosures a requirement for interim reporting. The annual requirements of ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company January 1, 2024, at which time it was adopted. The Company will include the new disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 as required. New interim period disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025 and will be included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q at that time.

Business Divestitures Business Divestitures
Since its launch in January 2020, the Company's specialty wholesale broker business (the “Wholesale Business”), operating within the Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group, had not benefited from the same degree of capital allocation, focus and prioritization as the retail and MGA businesses. After assessing the various paths forward for the Wholesale Business, near the end of 2023, management concluded that a plan to sell the Wholesale Business created the greatest opportunity for both the Company and the Wholesale Business.
As of December 31, 2023, the Wholesale Business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The assets and liabilities were recorded as held for sale at their carrying value, which was determined to be lower than the fair value of the net assets less costs to sell and, as a result, no loss was recorded relating to the reclassification. The divestiture did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations and the Company continued to report the operating results for its Wholesale Business as continuing operations in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) through February 29, 2024.
On March 1, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of its Wholesale Business for proceeds of approximately $58.9 million, subject to certain customary purchase price adjustments. The Company derecognized assets of $61.7 million, which included $9.5 million of goodwill, and liabilities of $39.9 million. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of $36.4 million (subject to certain post-closing adjustments), which is included as a component of gain on divestitures in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Variable Interest Entities Variable Interest Entities
Topic 810 requires a reporting entity to consolidate a variable interest entity (“VIE”) when the reporting entity has a variable interest or combination of variable interests that provide the entity with a controlling financial interest in the VIE. The Company continually assesses whether it has a controlling financial interest in each of its VIEs to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and should, therefore, consolidate each of the VIEs. A reporting entity is considered to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb the losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of its VIEs, which include Laureate Insurance Partners, LLC, BKS Smith, LLC, BKS MS, LLC and BKS Partners Galati Marine Solutions, LLC. The Company has consolidated its VIEs into the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Total revenues and expenses of the Company’s consolidated VIEs included in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) were $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Total assets and liabilities of the Company's consolidated VIEs included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets were $2.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, at March 31, 2024 and $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, at December 31, 2023. The assets of the consolidated VIEs can only be used to settle the obligations of the consolidated VIEs and the creditors of the liabilities of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company.

(2)    Profit-sharing revenue represents bonus-type revenue that is earned by the Company as a sales incentive provided by certain Insurance Company Partners.
(3)    Service fee revenue is earned for providing insurance placement services to Clients for a negotiated fee and consulting revenue is earned by providing specialty insurance consulting.
(4)    Policy fee revenue represents revenue earned for acting in the capacity of an MGA and fulfilling certain administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners, including delivery of policy documents, processing payments and other administrative functions. Installment fee revenue represents revenue earned by the Company for providing payment processing services on behalf of Insurance Company Partners related to policy premiums paid on an installment basis.
(5)    Other income includes other ancillary income, premium financing income, and marketing income that is based on agreed-upon cost reimbursement for fulfilling specific targeted Medicare marketing campaigns.
(6)    Investment income represents interest earnings on available cash invested in treasury money market funds.
The application of Topic 606 requires the use of management judgment. The following are the areas of most significant judgment as it relates to Topic 606:
The Company considers the policyholders as representative of its customers in the majority of contractual relationships, with the exception of Medicare contracts in its Mainstreet Insurance Solutions Operating Group, where the Insurance Company Partner is considered its customer.
Medicare contracts in the Mainstreet Insurance Solutions Operating Group are multi-year arrangements in which the Company is entitled to renewal commissions. However, the Company has applied a constraint to renewal commissions that limits revenue recognized when a risk of significant reversals exists based on: (i) historical renewal patterns; and (ii) the influence of external factors outside of the Company’s control, including policyholder discretion over plans and Insurance Company Partner relationship, political influence, and a contractual provision, which limits the Company’s right to receive renewal commissions to ongoing compliance and regulatory approval of the relevant Insurance Company Partner and compliance with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
The Company recognizes separately contracted commission revenue at the effective date of insurance placement and considers any ongoing interaction with the customer to be insignificant in the context of the obligations of the contract.
Variable consideration includes estimates of direct bill commissions, reserves for policy cancellations and accruals for profit-sharing income.
Costs to obtain a contract are deferred and recognized over five years, which represents management’s estimate of the average benefit period for new business.
Due to the relatively short time period between the information gathering phase and binding insurance coverage, the Company has determined that costs to fulfill contracts are not significant. Therefore, costs to fulfill a contract are expensed as incurred.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]  
Long-term Debt Long-Term Debt
As of March 31, 2024, the JPM Credit Agreement, as amended, provided for senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $1.62 billion, which consisted of (i) a term loan facility in the principal amount of $1.02 billion maturing in October 2027 (the “Term Loan B”) and (ii) a revolving credit facility with commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $600.0 million maturing in April 2027 (the “Revolving Facility”). The JPM Credit Agreement is secured by substantially all assets of the Company.
The Term Loan B bears interest at term SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment between 11 bps and 43 bps, based on the term SOFR rate, plus an applicable margin of 350 bps, subject to a term SOFR floor of 50 bps. At March 31, 2024, the outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B of $996.2 million had an applicable interest rate of 8.94%. The outstanding borrowings on the Term Loan B are presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $19.0 million on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2024.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility accrue interest at SOFR plus 210 bps to SOFR plus 310 bps based on total net leverage ratio. The outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Facility of $334.0 million at March 31, 2024 had an applicable interest rate of 8.50%. The Revolving Facility is also subject to a commitment fee of 0.40% on the unused capacity at March 31, 2024.
The JPM Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial covenants and comply with customary affirmative and negative covenants as listed in the underlying agreement. The Company was in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2024.
Interest Rate Caps
The Company uses interest rate caps to mitigate its exposure to interest rate risk on its debt by limiting the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows. The interest rate caps limit the variability of the applicable base rate to the amount of the cap. The interest rate caps, which are included as a component of other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are recorded at an aggregate fair value of $0.2 million and $2.6 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company recognized a loss on interest rate caps of less than $0.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The loss on interest rate caps is included as a component of other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“Topic 820”) established a framework for measuring fair value. That framework provides a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under Topic 820 are described below:
Level 1:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access.
Level 2:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3:    Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
The fair value measurement level for assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following table summarizes the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis within each level of the fair value hierarchy:
(in thousands)March 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Level 2
Interest rate caps$236 $2,562 
Level 2 Assets$236 $2,562 
Level 3
Contingent earnout liabilities$235,865 $276,467 
Level 3 Liabilities$235,865 $276,467 
The fair value of interest rate caps is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the caps are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.
Methodologies used for liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are based on limited unobservable inputs. These methods may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of the net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.
The fair value of contingent earnout liabilities is based on sales projections for the acquired entities, which are reassessed each reporting period. Based on the Company’s ongoing assessment of the fair value of its contingent earnout liabilities, the Company recorded a net increase in the estimated fair value of such liabilities of $12.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Company has assessed the maximum estimated exposure to the contingent earnout liabilities to be $547.7 million at March 31, 2024.
The Company measures contingent earnout liabilities at fair value each reporting period using significant unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company uses a probability weighted value analysis as a valuation technique to convert future estimated cash flows to a single present value amount. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements are sales projections over the earnout period, and the probability outcome percentages assigned to each scenario. Significant increases or decreases to either of these inputs would result in a significantly higher or lower liability with a higher liability capped by the contractual maximum of the contingent earnout liabilities. Ultimately, the liability will be equivalent to the amount settled, and the difference between the fair value estimate and amount settled will be recorded in earnings for business combinations, or as a change in the cost of the assets acquired for asset acquisitions.
The fair value of the contingent earnout liabilities is based on Monte Carlo simulations that measure the present value of the expected future payments to be made to Partners in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company estimates the Partner’s future performance using financial projections developed by management for the Partner and market participant assumptions that were derived for revenue growth, the number of rental units tracked or the insured value of sourced homeowners insurance. Revenue growth rates generally ranged from 9% to 25% at March 31, 2024 and from 10% to 35% at December 31, 2023. The Company estimates future payments using the earnout formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement and these financial projections. These payments are discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the Partner to achieve the targets. These discount rates generally ranged from 10.00% to 12.25% at March 31, 2024 and from 7.50% to 13.75% at December 31, 2023. Changes in financial projections, market participant assumptions for revenue growth, or the risk-adjusted discount rate, would result in a change in the fair value of contingent consideration.
The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of the Company’s contingent earnout liabilities, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis utilizing Level 3 assumptions in their valuation:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
Effective January 1, 2024, the Company’s FounderShield Partner moved from the Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions Operating Group to the Insurance Advisory Solutions Operating Group. Prior year segment reporting information within this note has been recast to conform to the current organizational structure.
Baldwin’s business is divided into three Operating Groups: Insurance Advisory Solutions, Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions and Mainstreet Insurance Solutions.
The Insurance Advisory Solutions (“IAS”) Operating Group provides expertly-designed commercial risk management, employee benefits and private risk management solutions for businesses and high-net-worth individuals, as well as their families, through our national footprint which has assimilated some of the highest quality independent insurance brokers in the country with vast and varied strategic capabilities and expertise.
The Underwriting, Capacity & Technology Solutions (“UCTS”) Operating Group consists of two distinct businesses—our MGA of the Future platform and our newly launched reinsurance brokerage business, Juniper Re. Through its MGA of the Future platform, the Company manufactures proprietary, technology-enabled insurance products that are then distributed (in many instances via technology and/or API integrations) internally via Risk Advisors across its other Operating Groups and externally via select distribution partners, with a focus on sheltered channels where our products deliver speed, ease of use and certainty of execution, an example of which is the national embedded renters insurance product sold at point of lease via integrations with property management software providers. UCTS’ Wholesale Business was sold in the first quarter of 2024 and its operations are included in our results through February 29, 2024.
The Mainstreet Insurance Solutions (“MIS”) Operating Group offers personal insurance, commercial insurance and life and health solutions to individuals and businesses in their communities, with a focus on accessing Clients via sheltered distribution channels, which include, but are not limited to, new home builders, realtors, mortgage originators/lenders, master planned communities, and various other community centers of influence. The MIS Operating Group also offers consultation for government assistance programs and solutions, including traditional Medicare, Medicare Advantage and Affordable Care Act, to seniors and eligible individuals through a network of primarily independent contractor agents.
In all its Operating Groups, the Company generates commissions from insurance placement under both agency bill and direct bill arrangements, and profit-sharing income based on either the underlying book of business or performance, such as loss ratios. All Operating Groups also generate other ancillary income and premium financing income.
In the IAS and UCTS Operating Groups, the Company generates fees from service fee and consulting arrangements. Service fee arrangements are in place with certain Clients for providing insurance placement services.
In the UCTS Operating Group, the Company generates fees from policy fee and installment fee arrangements. Policy fee revenue is earned for acting in the capacity of an MGA and providing payment processing services and other administrative functions on behalf of Insurance Company Partners.
In the MIS Operating Group, the Company generates commissions and fees from marketing income, which is earned through co-branded Medicare marketing campaigns with the Company’s Insurance Company Partners.
In addition, the Company generates investment income in the IAS and UCTS Operating Groups and the Corporate and Other non-reportable segment (“Corporate and Other”).
The Company’s chief operating decision maker, the chief executive officer, uses net income (loss) and net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and one-time transactional-related expenses or non-recurring items to manage resources and make decisions about the business.
Summarized financial information regarding the Company’s Operating Groups is shown in the following tables. Corporate and Other includes any expenses not allocated to the Operating Groups and corporate-related items, including interest expense. Intersegment revenue and expenses are eliminated through Corporate and Other. Service center expenses and other overhead are allocated to the Company’s Operating Groups based on either revenue or headcount as applicable to each expense.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Baldwin and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
As the sole manager of The Baldwin Insurance Group Holdings, LLC (formerly Baldwin Risk Partners, LLC) (“Baldwin Holdings”), Baldwin operates and controls all the business and affairs of Baldwin Holdings, and has the sole voting interest in, and controls the management of, Baldwin Holdings. Accordingly, Baldwin consolidates Baldwin Holdings in its consolidated financial statements, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to the membership interests of Baldwin Holdings (the “LLC Units”) held by Baldwin Holdings’ members in its consolidated financial statements.
The Company has prepared these condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810, Consolidation (“Topic 810”). Topic 810 requires that if an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the variable interest entity should be included in the consolidated financial statements of the enterprise. The Company has recognized certain entities as variable interest entities, of which the Company is the primary beneficiary, and has included the accounts of these entities in the consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the Company’s variable interest entities.
Topic 810 also requires that the equity of a noncontrolling interest shall be reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets within total equity of the Company. Certain redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as mezzanine equity. Topic 810 also requires revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income or loss to be reported in the consolidated financial statements at consolidated amounts, which include amounts attributable to the owners of the parent and the noncontrolling interests.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates underlying the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the application of guidance for revenue recognition; impairment of intangible assets and goodwill; the valuation of contingent consideration; and the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets.
Recent Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740)—Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to enhance the transparency and usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires disclosure of specific categories and disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation table using both percentages and reporting currency amounts. ASU 2023-09 also requires disclosure of disaggregated information related to income taxes paid, income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit, and income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company expects the adoption of this standard to expand its income tax disclosures, but otherwise have no impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280)—Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to enhance the disclosure requirements for reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), as well as an aggregate amount of other segment items included within segment profit or loss and a description of its composition. Additionally, ASU 2023-07 requires a description of how the CODM utilizes the reported measure of segment operating results to assess segment performance. ASU 2023-07 also requires enhanced interim disclosure requirements effectively making annual disclosures a requirement for interim reporting. The annual requirements of ASU 2023-07 became effective for the Company January 1, 2024, at which time it was adopted. The Company will include the new disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024 as required. New interim period disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2025 and will be included in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q at that time.
