MBI and the LLC have a Tax Receivable Agreement with the pre-IPO owners of the LLC that provides for the payment by MBI to the pre-IPO owners (or their permitted assignees) of 85% of the amount of the benefits, if any, that MBI is deemed to realize as a result of (i) increases in tax basis and (ii) certain other tax benefits related to the MBI entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, including those attributable to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. These contractual payment obligations are obligations of MBI and not of the LLC. MBI's Tax Receivable Agreement liability was determined on an undiscounted basis in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies, since the contractual payment obligations were deemed to be probable and reasonably estimable.

For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the benefit deemed realized by MBI is computed by comparing the actual income tax liability of MBI (calculated with certain assumptions) to the amount of such taxes that MBI would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of the assets of the LLC as a result of the purchases or exchanges, and had MBI not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement.

The following table reflects the changes to MBI's tax receivable agreement liability:


	As of September 30, 2025		As of June 30, 2025
Beginning balance	$	40,433	$	40,613
Additions (reductions) to tax receivable agreement:
Exchange of LLC Units for Class A Common Stock	26		167
Adjustment for change in estimated tax rate or benefits	(856)		(347)

	39,603		40,433
Less: current portion under tax receivable agreement	(271)		(271)
Ending balance	$	39,332	$	40,162

The Tax Receivable Agreement further provides that, upon certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, MBI (or its successor) would owe to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC a lump-sum payment equal to the present value of all forecasted future payments that would have otherwise been made under the Tax Receivable Agreement that would be based on certain assumptions, including a deemed exchange of LLC Units and that MBI would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax basis and other tax benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement. MBI also is entitled to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement, which, if terminated, would obligate MBI to make early termination payments to the pre-IPO owners of the LLC. In addition, a pre-IPO owner may elect to unilaterally terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to such pre-IPO owner, which would obligate the Company to pay to such existing owner certain payments for tax benefits received through the taxable year of the election.

When estimating the expected tax rate to use in order to determine the tax benefit expected to be recognized from MBI’s increased tax basis as a result of exchanges of LLC Units by the pre-IPO owners of the LLC, the Company continuously monitors changes in its overall tax posture, including changes resulting from new legislation and changes as a result of new jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax.
