Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. As permitted by the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain certain condensed financial information and exclude certain footnote disclosures normally included in audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"). The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, necessary to fairly present the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

("EGL"), a registered broker-dealer in the U.S. The Company's policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest, as well as any variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, when it has the power to make the decisions that most significantly affect the economic performance of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb significant losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company reviews factors, including the rights of the equity holders and obligations of equity holders to absorb losses or receive expected residual returns, to determine if the investment is a VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. The consolidation analysis is generally performed qualitatively. This analysis, which requires judgment, is performed at each reporting date. Evercore LP is a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary. Specifically, the Company has the majority economic interest in Evercore LP and has decision making authority that significantly affects the economic performance of the entity 9 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC.

The Company’s receivables, contract assets and deferred revenue (contract liabilities) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: 11 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC.

(4) Included in Other Current Liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. (5) Included in Other Long-term Liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company's contract assets represent arrangements in which an estimate of variable consideration has been included in the transaction price and thereby recognized as revenue that precedes the contractual due date. Under ASC 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASC 606"), revenue is recognized when all material conditions for completion have been met and it is probable that a significant revenue reversal will not occur in a future period. The Company recognized revenue of $ 13,759 and $ 21,835 on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 5,652 and $ 11,543 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, that was initially included in deferred revenue within Other Current Liabilities on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. Generally, performance obligations under client arrangements will be settled within one year ; therefore, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-50-14. The allowance for credit losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows: For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Beginning Balance (1) $ 2,143 $ 11,125 $ 5,372 $ 9,191 Bad debt expense, net of reversals 1,781 557 15 5,888 Write-offs, foreign currency translation and other adjustments ( 361 ) ( 849 ) ( 1,824 ) ( 4,246 ) Ending Balance $ 3,563 $ 10,833 $ 3,563 $ 10,833 (1) Beginning Balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 includes the cumulative-effect adjustment of $ 1,310 , which reflects the increase in the Company's Allowance for Doubtful Accounts as a result of the use of the current expected credit loss model related to the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020. The change in the balance during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 is primarily related to an increase in the current period provision of expected credit losses, which is also impacted by recoveries of bad debt, as well as the change in the amount of receivables outstanding greater than 120 days at September 30, 2021, and the write-off of aged receivables. For long-term accounts receivable and long-term contract assets, the Company monitors clients’ creditworthiness based on collection experience and other internal metrics. The following table presents the Company’s long-term accounts receivable 12 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC.

General Partners of Private Equity Funds which are VIEs Following the Glisco transaction, the Company concluded that Glisco Capital Partners II, Glisco Capital Partners III and Glisco Manager Holdings LP are VIEs and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs. The Company's assessment of the primary beneficiary of these entities included assessing which parties have the power to significantly impact the economic performance of these entities and the obligation to absorb losses, which could be potentially significant to the entities, or the right to receive benefits from the entities that could be potentially significant. Neither the Company nor its related parties will have the ability to make decisions that significantly impact the economic performance of these entities. Further, as a limited partner in these entities, the Company does not possess substantive participating rights. The Company had assets of $ 3,617 and $ 3,083 included in its Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to these unconsolidated VIEs, representing the carrying value of the Company's investments in the entities.

The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $ 5,980 and $ 5,572 , respectively, which represents the carrying value of the Company's investments in these VIEs, as well as any unfunded commitments to the current and future funds. Investment in Trilantic Capital Partners In 2010, the Company made a limited partnership investment in Trilantic in exchange for 500 Class A partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class A LP Units") having a fair value of $ 16,090 . This investment gave the Company the right to invest in Trilantic's current and future private equity funds, beginning with Trilantic Fund IV. The Company accounted for this investment at its cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. The Company has a $ 5,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund V, of which $ 348 was unfunded at September 30, 2021. The Company also has a $ 12,000 commitment to invest in Trilantic Fund VI, of which $ 5,762 was unfunded at September 30, 2021. During the third quarter of 2021, consistent with the Company's current investment strategy, the Company decided to wind down its investment relationship with Trilantic. Accordingly, the Company wrote-off its remaining carrying value of its investment in Trilantic Capital Partners as of September 30, 2021, as well as certain amounts allocated to fund investments exceeding net asset value at September 30, 2021.

Note 9 – Leases Operating Leases – The Company leases office space under non-cancelable lease agreements, which expire on various dates through 2035. The lease terms include options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option. The Company reflects lease expense over the lease terms on a straight-line basis. Occupancy lease agreements, in addition to base rentals, generally are subject to escalation provisions based on certain costs incurred by the landlord. The Company does not have any leases with variable lease payments. Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office space of $ 12,563 and $ 37,063 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 12,248 and $ 36,272 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and variable lease cost of $ 1,502 and $ 5,120 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 1,841 and $ 4,696 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. On June 10, 2021, the Company entered into lease agreements to take on an additional 14 rentable square feet at its 1 Stanhope Gate office in London, U.K. The approximate additional annual expense under these lease agreements, net of certain lease incentives, is £ 1,081 and the lease term is June 10, 2021 through March 24, 2027. In conjunction with the lease of office space, the Company has entered into letters of credit in the amounts of $ 5,616 and $ 5,550 as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which are secured by cash that is included in Other Assets on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition. The Company has entered into various operating leases for the use of office equipment (primarily computers, printers, copiers and other information technology related equipment). Occupancy and Equipment Rental on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations includes operating lease cost for office equipment of $ 1,332 and $ 3,983 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 1,170 and $ 3,497 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The Company uses its secured incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of its right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The determination of an appropriate incremental borrowing rate requires significant assumptions and judgment. The Company's incremental borrowing rate was calculated based on the Company's recent debt issuances and current market conditions. The Company scales the rates appropriately depending on the life of the leases. The Company incurred net operating cash outflows of $ 31,714 and $ 22,469 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to its operating leases, which was net of cash received from lease incentives of $ 8,924 and $ 10,267 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements ASC 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures" ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily-available active quoted prices, or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices, generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level 1 include listed equities, listed derivatives and treasury bills. As required by ASC 820, the 19 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted) Company does not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price. Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. The estimated fair values of corporate bonds, municipal bonds and other debt securities held at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are based on prices provided by external pricing services. Level 3 – Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and includes situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. The following table presents the categorization of investments and certain other financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020: September 30, 2021 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Debt Securities Carried by Broker-Dealers $ 564,877 $ — $ — $ 564,877 Other Debt and Equity Securities (1) 460,916 — — 460,916 Investment Funds 136,556 — — 136,556 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 1,162,349 $ — $ — $ 1,162,349 December 31, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Debt Securities Carried by Broker-Dealers $ 550,026 $ — $ — $ 550,026 Other Debt and Equity Securities (1) 410,456 — — 410,456 Investment Funds 107,354 — — 107,354 Total Assets Measured At Fair Value $ 1,067,836 $ — $ — $ 1,067,836 (1) Includes $ 6,900 and $ 7,000 of treasury bills and notes classified within Cash and Cash Equivalents on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's financial instrument assets and liabilities, which are not measured at fair value on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, are listed in the tables below. 20 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC.

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, no Class J LP Units remained issued or outstanding. See Note 15 for further information. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Class J LP Units were dilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been included in the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders under the if-converted method. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all Class J LP Units are converted into Class A Shares. (b) The Company has outstanding Class A and E LP Units, which give the holders the right to receive Class A Shares upon exchange on a one -for-one basis. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Class A and E LP Units were antidilutive and consequently the effect of their exchange into Class A Shares has been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders. The units that would have been included in the denominator of the computation of diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders if the effect would have been dilutive were 4,840 and 4,871 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 5,070 and 5,161 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The 26 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted) adjustment to the numerator, diluted net income attributable to Class A common shareholders, if the effect would have been dilutive, would have been $ 19,925 and $ 54,096 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 6,560 and $ 18,990 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. In computing this adjustment, the Company assumes that all vested Class A LP Units and all Class E LP Units are converted into Class A Shares, that all earnings attributable to those shares are attributed to Evercore Inc. and that the Company is subject to the statutory tax rates of a C-Corporation under a conventional corporate tax structure in the U.S. at prevailing corporate tax rates. The Company does not anticipate that the Class A and E LP Units will result in a dilutive computation in future periods. (c) The Company has outstanding Class I-P units of Evercore LP ("Class I-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class I limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class I LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, and outstanding Class K-P units of Evercore LP ("Class K-P Units") which are contingently exchangeable into Class K limited partnership units of Evercore LP ("Class K LP Units"), and ultimately Class A Shares, as they are subject to certain performance thresholds being achieved. For the purposes of calculating diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders, the Company's Class I-P Units and Class K-P Units are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding as of the beginning of the period in which all necessary performance conditions have been satisfied. If all necessary performance conditions have not been satisfied by the end of the period, the number of shares that are included in diluted weighted average Class A Shares outstanding is based on the number of shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period were the end of the performance period. The Units that were assumed to be converted to an equal number of Class A Shares for purposes of computing diluted net income per share attributable to Evercore Inc. common shareholders were 480 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 400 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The shares of Class B common stock have no right to receive dividends or a distribution on liquidation or winding up of the Company. The shares of Class B common stock do not share in the earnings of the Company and no earnings are allocable to such class. Accordingly, basic and diluted net income per share of Class B common stock have not been presented. Note 15 – Share-Based and Other Deferred Compensation LP Units Equities business – In conjunction with the acquisition of the operating businesses of International Strategy & Investment ("ISI") in 2014, the Company issued Evercore LP units and interests which have been treated as compensation. In July 2017, the Company exchanged all of the previously outstanding 4,148 Class H limited partnership interests of Evercore LP ("Class H LP Interests") for 1,012 vested ( 963 of which were subject to certain liquidated damages and continued employment provisions) and 938 unvested Class J LP Units. These units converted into an equal amount of Class E LP Units, and became exchangeable into Class A Shares of the Company, ratably on February 15, 2018, 2019 and 2020. These Class J LP Units had the same vesting and delivery schedule, acceleration and forfeiture triggers, and distribution rights as the Class H LP Interests. In connection with this exchange, one share of Class B common stock has been issued to each holder of Class J LP Units, which entitles each holder to one vote on all matters submitted generally to holders of Class A and Class B common stock for each Class E LP Unit and Class J LP Unit held. As the number of Class J LP Units exchanged was within the number of Class H LP Interests that the Company determined were probable of being exchanged on the date of modification, the Company expensed the previously unrecognized grant date fair value of the Class H LP Interests ratably over the remaining vesting period of the Class J LP Units. Compensation expense related to the Class J LP Units was $ 1,067 for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. On February 15, 2020, 223 Class J LP Units vested and were converted to an equal amount of Class E LP Units. Following the conversion, no Class J LP Units remain issued and outstanding. Class I-P Units – In November 2016, the Company issued 400 Class I-P Units in conjunction with the appointment of a current Co-Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman). These Class I-P Units convert into a specified number of Class I LP Units, which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares, contingent on the achievement of certain market and service conditions, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following January 15, 2022, subject to a one year prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. These Class I-P Units are segregated into two groups of 200 units each, with share price threshold vesting conditions which are required to exceed a certain level for 20 consecutive trading days (which were met as of March 31, 2017). The Company determined the fair value of the award to be $ 24,412 and is expensing the award ratably over the implied service 27 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted) period, which ends on March 1, 2022. As the award contains market-based conditions, the entire expense will be recognized if the award does not vest for any reason other than the service conditions. Compensation expense related to this award was $ 1,130 and $ 3,495 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 1,164 and $ 3,468 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively . Class K-P Units – In November 2017, the Company issued 64 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a specified number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares), contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through December 31, 2021. In June 2019, the Company issued 220 Class K-P Units to an employee of the Company. These Class K-P Units convert into a number of Class K LP Units (which are exchangeable on a one -for-one basis to Class A Shares), contingent and based upon the achievement of certain defined benchmark results and continued service through February 4, 2023 for the first tranche, which consists of 120 Class K-P Units, and February 4, 2028 for the second tranche, which consists of 100 Class K-P Units. These Class K-P Units may convert into a maximum of 460 Class K LP Units, contingent upon the achievement of certain defined benchmarks and continued service, as described above. The Company determined the grant date fair value of these awards probable to vest as of September 30, 2021 to be $ 34,548 , related to 401 Class K LP Units which were probable of achievement, and recognizes expense for these units over the respective service periods. Compensation expense related to the Class K-P Units was $ 1,816 and $ 5,557 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 3,066 and $ 5,392 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Class L Interests – In April 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of Class L Interests in Evercore LP ("Class L Interests") to named executive officers of the Company, pursuant to which the named executive officers may receive a discretionary distribution of profits from Evercore LP, to be paid in the first quarter of 2022. Distributions pursuant to these interests are anticipated to be made in lieu of any cash incentive compensation payments which may otherwise have been made to the named executive officers of the Company in respect of their service for 2021. The Company records expense related to these interests as part of its accrual for incentive compensation within Employee Compensation and Benefits on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Stock Incentive Plan During 2020, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan (the "Amended 2016 Plan"), which amended the prior Amended and Restated 2016 Evercore Inc. Stock Incentive Plan. The Amended 2016 Plan, among other things, authorizes an additional 6,000 shares of the Company's Class A Shares. The Amended 2016 Plan permits the Company to grant to certain employees, directors and consultants incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs and other awards based on the Company's Class A Shares. The Company intends to use newly-issued Class A Shares to satisfy any awards under the Amended 2016 Plan and its predecessor plan. Class A Shares underlying any award granted under the Amended 2016 Plan that expire, terminate or are canceled or satisfied for any reason without being settled in stock again become available for awards under the plan. The total shares available to be granted in the future under the Amended 2016 Plan was 5,103 as of September 30, 2021. The Company also grants, at its discretion, dividend equivalents, in the form of unvested RSU awards, or deferred cash dividends, concurrently with the payment of dividends to the holders of Class A Shares, on all unvested RSU grants awarded in conjunction with annual bonuses, as well as new hire awards. The dividend equivalents have the same vesting and delivery terms as the underlying RSU award. The Company estimates forfeitures in the aggregate compensation cost to be amortized over the requisite service period of its awards. The Company periodically monitors its estimated forfeiture rate and adjusts its assumptions to the actual occurrence of forfeited awards. A change in estimated forfeitures is recognized through a cumulative adjustment in the period of the change. Equity Grants – During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, pursuant to the Amended 2016 Plan, the Company granted employees 2,108 RSUs that are Service-based Awards. Service-based Awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 had grant date fair values of $ 111.03 to $ 141.07 per share, with an average value of $ 119.32 per share, for an aggregate fair value of $ 251,500 , and generally vest ratably over four years . During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 2,174 Service-based Awards vested and 164 Service-based Awards were forfeited. Compensation expense related to Service-based Awards was $ 52,578 and $ 162,341 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 46,880 and $ 147,352 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. 28 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted) Deferred Cash Deferred Cash Compensation Program – The Company's deferred cash compensation program provides participants the ability to elect to receive a portion of their deferred compensation in cash, which is indexed to notional investment portfolios selected by the participant and vests ratably over four years and requires payment upon vesting. The Company granted $ 96,511 of deferred cash awards pursuant to the deferred cash compensation program during the first quarter of 2021. Compensation expense related to the Company's deferred cash compensation program was $ 31,576 and $ 97,322 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 27,193 and $ 85,054 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively . As of September 30, 2021, the Company expects to pay an aggregate of $ 324,682 related to the Company's deferred cash compensation program at various dates through 2025 and total compensation expense related to these awards not yet recognized was $ 193,440 . The weighted-average period over which this compensation cost is expected to be recognized is 24 months. Amounts due pursuant to this program are expensed over the service period of the award and are reflected in Accrued Compensation and Benefits, a component of current liabilities, on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2021. Other Deferred Cash Awards – In November 2016, the Company granted a restricted cash award in conjunction with the appointment of a current Co-Chief Executive Officer (then Executive Chairman) with a target payment amount of $ 35,000 , of which $ 11,000 vested on March 1, 2019, $ 6,000 vested on each of March 1, 2020 and 2021, and $ 6,000 is scheduled to vest on each of the next two anniversaries of March 1, 2021, provided that the current Co-Chief Executive Officer continues to remain employed through each such vesting date, subject to vesting upon specified termination events (including retirement, upon satisfying certain eligibility criteria, on or following May 1, 2019, subject to a six month prior written notice requirement) or a change in control. The Company had the discretion to increase (by an amount up to $ 35,000 ) or decrease (by an amount up to $ 8,750 ) the total amount payable under this award. In 2017, the Company granted deferred cash awards of $ 29,500 to certain employees. These awards vest in five equal installments over the period ending June 30, 2022, subject to continued employment. The Company recognizes expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period. In addition, the Company periodically grants deferred cash awards to certain employees. The Company recognizes expense for these awards ratably over the vesting period. Compensation expense related to other deferred cash awards was $ 2,555 and $ 8,076 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 2,971 and $ 10,124 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Long-term Incentive Plan The Company's Long-term Incentive Plan provides for incentive compensation awards to Advisory Senior Managing Directors, excluding executive officers of the Company, who exceed defined benchmark results over four-year performance periods beginning January 1, 2017 (the "2017 Long-term Incentive Plan") and January 1, 2021 (the "2021 Long-term Incentive Plan", which was approved by the Company's Board of Directors in April 2021 and modified in July 2021). Remaining amounts due pursuant to the 2017 and 2021 Long-term Incentive Plans, which aggregate $ 48,455 of current liabilities and $ 52,218 of long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Financial Condition as of September 30, 2021, are due to be paid, in cash or Class A Shares, at the Company's discretion, in equal installments in the first quarter of 2022 and 2023 (for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan), and in the first quarter of 2025, 2026 and 2027 (for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan), subject to employment at the time of payment. The performance period for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan ended on December 31, 2020 and the first cash distribution pursuant to this plan of $ 48,461 was made in March 2021. Awards issued under the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan are subject to retirement eligibility requirements after the performance criteria has been achieved. The Company periodically assesses the probability of the benchmarks being achieved and expenses the probable payout over the requisite service period of the award. During the first half of 2020, in assessing the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's full year 2020 results, management determined it would be appropriate to decrease its expectation for the probable payout of the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan, which included a review of both historical and projected performance for those eligible under the plan. As markets continued to stabilize during the third quarter of 2020 and Advisory activity increased, management determined it would be appropriate to increase its expectation for the probable payout of the plan. The Company recorded $ 16,877 and $ 29,979 of compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 9,160 and $ 5,339 of compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. 29 Table of Contents EVERCORE INC. NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted) As of September 30, 2021, the total remaining expense to be recognized for the 2017 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2023 is $ 13,411 . As of September 30, 2021, the total remaining expense to be recognized for the 2021 Long-term Incentive Plan over the future vesting period ending March 15, 2027, based on the current anticipated probable payout for the plan, is $ 181,888 . Employee Loans Receivable Periodically, the Company provides new and existing employees with cash payments in the form of loans and/or other cash awards which are subject to ratable vesting terms with service requirements ranging from one to five years and in certain circumstances, subject to the achievement of performance requirements. Generally, the terms of these awards include a requirement of either full or partial repayment of these awards based on the terms of their employment agreements with the Company. In circumstances where the employee meets the Company's minimum credit standards, the Company amortizes these awards to compensation expense over the relevant service period, which is generally the period they are subject to forfeiture. Compensation expense related to these awards was $ 7,279 and $ 17,725 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $ 8,101 and $ 16,516 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. The remaining unamortized amount of these awards was $ 26,718 as of September 30, 2021. Separation and Transition Benefits In 2020, the Company completed a review of operations focused on markets, sectors and people which delivered lower levels of productivity in an effort to attain greater flexibility of operations and better position itself for future growth. This review generated reductions of approximately 8 % of the Company's headcount. In conjunction with the employment reductions, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company incurred expenses related to separation benefits, stay arrangements and accelerated deferred cash compensation (together, the "Termination Costs") of $ 4,151 and $ 26,967 , respectively, and the acceleration of the amortization of share-based payments previously granted to affected employees of $ 3,102 and $ 10,437 , respectively, (related to 150 RSUs) each recorded in Special Charges, Including Business Realignment Costs, primarily within the Investment Banking segment, on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The following table presents the change in the Company's Termination Costs liability for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021 2020 Beginning Balance $ 4,589 $ 1,151 Termination Costs Incurred 2,168 26,967 Cash Benefits Paid ( 4,174 ) ( 18,589 ) Non-Cash Charges ( 101 ) ( 624 ) Ending Balance $ 2,482 $ 8,905 In addition to the above Termination Costs incurred, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company also incurred expenses related to the acceleration of the amortization of share-based payments previously granted to affected employees of $ 486 and $ 2,434 , respectively, (related to 34 RSUs) recorded in Employee Compensation and Benefits, within the Investment Banking segment, on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition, the agreement contains certain reporting covenants, as well as certain debt covenants that prohibit East and the Company from incurring other indebtedness, subject to specified exceptions. The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries were in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2021.

On October 29, 2021, EGL entered into a subordinated revolving credit facility with PNC in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 75,000 , to be used as needed in support of capital requirements from time to time of EGL. This facility is unsecured and is guaranteed by Evercore LP and other affiliates, pursuant to a guaranty agreement, which provides for certain reporting requirements and debt covenants consistent with the Existing PNC Facility.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted) Foreign Exchange – On occasion, the Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts as an economic hedge against exchange rate risk for foreign currency denominated accounts receivable in EGL. There were no foreign currency exchange forward contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2021. Contingencies In the normal course of business, from time to time, the Company and its affiliates are involved in judicial or regulatory proceedings, arbitration or mediation concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of its businesses, including contractual and employment matters. In addition, United Kingdom, German, Hong Kong, Singapore, Canadian, Dubai and United States government agencies and self-regulatory organizations, as well as state securities commissions in the United States, conduct periodic examinations and initiate administrative proceedings regarding the Company's business, including, among other matters, accounting and operational matters, that can result in censure, fine, the issuance of cease-and-desist orders or the suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, investment advisor, or its directors, officers or employees. In view of the inherent difficulty of determining whether any loss in connection with such matters is probable and whether the amount of such loss can be reasonably estimated, particularly in cases where claimants seek substantial or indeterminate damages or where investigations and proceedings are in the early stages, the Company cannot estimate the amount of such loss or range of loss, if any, related to such matters, how or if such matters will be resolved, when they will ultimately be resolved, or what the eventual settlement, fine, penalty or other relief, if any, might be. Subject to the foregoing, the Company believes, based on current knowledge and after consultation with counsel, that it is not currently party to any material pending proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, the resolution of which would have a material effect on the Company. Provisions for losses are established in accordance with ASC 450, " Contingencies" ("ASC 450") when warranted. Once established, such provisions are adjusted when there is more information available or when an event occurs requiring a change. Note 17 – Regulatory Authorities EGL is a U.S. registered broker-dealer and is subject to the net capital requirements of Rule 15c3-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
