As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, financial assets measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis and classified within Level 3 were $230,876 and $137,608, respectively, or 11.7% and 8.1%, respectively, of the Company’s total assets. In determining the fair value for these Level 3 financial assets, the Company analyzes various financial, performance and market factors to estimate the value, including where applicable, over-the-counter market trading activity. The fair value for individual Level 3 financial assets and liabilities have various financial inputs which include multiple of sales, multiple of EBITDA and indexes, the market price of related securities, annualized volatility, carried interest %, discount rates, recovery rates and expected term inputs that may change at each reporting period and result in an increase or decrease in the valuation of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities.
The following tables summarize the significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of Level 3 financial assets and liabilities by category of investment and valuation technique as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

On May 28, 2026, immediately prior to exercise, the Oaktree Warrants were remeasured to fair value, resulting in a fair value of $15,810. This fair value represents the final measurement of the warrant liability immediately prior to settlement and does not reflect the subsequent gain recognized upon settlement of the Oaktree Warrants (see Note 22 – Stockholders’ Equity).

Partnership and investment fund interests valued at NAV were $2,374 and $1,833 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Beginning in April 2025, the Company entered into purchase agreements with public companies that allow the counterparties to put their convertible preferred stock to the Company from time to time at its discretion (the “Written
Puts”) (see Note 26 – Commitments and Contingencies). The Written Puts are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis within the “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” line item on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company determined that the fair value of the Written Put liability was de minimis due to its discount to market prices being advantageous to the Company, and no liability or changes in earnings were recorded on the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets or accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company holds the Written Puts as investments to advantageously monetize the underlying stock and provide capital raising activities for customers. The Company’s exposure is driven primarily by movements in the Issuer’s common stock price, the put writer’s credit by assumptions regarding the likelihood and timing of exercise and the April 2026 agreement which was amended to allow for the Issuer’s creditor to exercise the Written Put upon the Issuer’s Event of Default under the terms of its credit agreement. The amendment had a de minimis impact on the fair value of the Written Put.
Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
The carrying amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.

New Notes payableLevel 3$258,930 $202,511 $268,016 $166,796 
The fair value of the Company's revolving credit facilities and term loans was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, whereby contractual cash flows were discounted using current market interest rates and applicable credit spreads. The Company used a market approach for estimating the fair value of senior notes payable as they are listed and actively traded on the Nasdaq with sufficient frequency and volume to utilize quoted market prices. The fair value of the Company’s New Notes payable was estimated using a discounted cash flow approach, whereby contractual cash flows were discounted using a credit spread based on significant unobservable inputs, including the Company's estimated cost of borrowing of approximately 15.0%.
