| Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees | Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees Lease Commitments In the first quarter of 2026, we entered into the Seventh Amendment to the office lease agreement for our principal executive offices in Chicago, Illinois, which resulted in a non-cash gain on lease modification of $3.8 million. Among other items, this amendment i) extends the term of the lease from September 30, 2029 to September 30, 2037; ii) provides a renewal option to extend the lease for an additional five year period to September 30, 2042; iii) terminates the lease, effective September 30, 2026, with respect to certain leased spaces previously vacated; iv) provides abatement of certain future base rent payments and our pro rata share of operating expenses and taxes; and v) provides a tenant improvement allowance, a portion of which may be converted, at our option, to additional abatement of future base rent payments and our pro rata share of operating expenses and taxes. Litigation From time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are not a party to any litigation or legal proceeding or subject to any claim that, in the current opinion of management, could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, due to the risks and uncertainties inherent in legal proceedings, actual results could differ from current expected results. Guarantees Guarantees in the form of letters of credit totaling $0.4 million were outstanding at both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, which are used as security deposits for our office facilities. In connection with certain business acquisitions, we may be required to pay post-closing consideration to the sellers if specific financial performance targets are met over a number of years as specified in the related purchase agreements. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the total estimated fair value of our outstanding contingent consideration liabilities was $26.9 million and $23.3 million, respectively. The remaining aggregate maximum amount of contingent consideration that may be paid is $44.0 million, which is payable, if earned, on a staggered basis through December 31, 2028. See Note 11 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional information on our contingent consideration liabilities. To the extent permitted by law, our bylaws and articles of incorporation require that we indemnify our officers and directors against judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with civil or criminal action or proceedings, as it relates to their services to us if such person acted in good faith. Although there is no limit on the amount of indemnification, we may have recourse against our insurance carrier for certain payments made.
