 ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 Business Overview
 We are a leading global alternative asset manager, headquartered in New York, NY, with over $1 trillion of Assets Under Management across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit. Our objective is to generate attractive, long-term risk-adjusted returns for the benefit of our clients and shareholders.
 We manage a range of public and private investment products and services for institutional and retail clients. We earn asset management income for doing so and ensure strong alignment of interests with our clients by investing Brookfield capital alongside them. Our access to large-scale capital enables us to make investments in sizeable, premier assets and businesses across geographies and asset classes that we believe few others can.
 To do this, we leverage our team of over 2,500 investment and asset management professionals, our global reach, deep operating expertise, and access to large-scale capital to identify attractive investment opportunities and invest on a proprietary basis. Our investment approach and strong track record have been the foundation and driver of our growth.
 We provide a highly diversified suite of alternative investment strategies to our clients and are constantly seeking to innovate new strategies to meet their needs. We have over 50 unique active strategies that span a wide range of risk-adjusted returns, including opportunistic, value-add, core, super-core, and credit. We evaluate the performance of these product offerings and our investment strategies using a number of non-GAAP measures. BAM utilizes Fee-Bearing Capital, Fee Revenues, Fee-Related Earnings and Distributable Earnings to assess the performance of our asset management business.
 We are in a fortunate position to be trusted with our clients' capital and our objective is to meet their financial goals and provide for a better financial future while providing market leading experience. Our team of over 300 client service professionals across 19 global offices are dedicated to ensuring that the business exceeds our clients' service expectations.
 We have over 2,300 clients, with some of our clients being among the world's largest institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, endowments, foundations, financial institutions, and insurance companies.
 Our guiding principle is to operate our business and conduct our relationships with the highest level of integrity. Our emphasis on a culture of collaboration allows us to attract and retain top talent.
 BAM's Class A Limited Voting Shares (the "Class A Shares") are co-listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") under the symbol "BAM".

 Value Creation
 We create shareholder value by increasing the earnings profile of our asset management business. Alternative asset management businesses such as ours are typically valued based on a multiple of their Fee-Related Earnings and performance income. Accordingly, we create value by increasing the amount and quality of Fee-Related Earnings and performance income, net of associated costs. We achieve this by raising more Fee-Bearing Capital and delivering strong investment performance, which enables us to generate performance income, such as carried interest, while maintaining efficient operating margins.
 As at December 31, 2024, we had Fee-Bearing Capital of $539 billion, of which 87% is long-dated or perpetual in nature, providing significant stability to our earnings profile. We consider Fee-Bearing Capital that is long-dated or perpetual in nature to be Fee-Bearing Capital relating to our long-term private funds, which are typically committed for at least 10 years with two one-year extension options, and Fee-Bearing Capital relating to our perpetual strategies, which include our permanent capital vehicles as well as capital we manage in our perpetual private fund and private wealth strategies. We seek to increase our Fee-Bearing Capital by growing the size of our existing product offerings and developing new strategies that cater to our clients' investment needs. We also aim to deepen our existing institutional relationships, develop new institutional relationships, and access new distribution channels, such as high net worth individuals and retail.
 As of December 31, 2024, we had a diversified client base of over 2,300 clients, which continues to grow. Our private wealth channel also continues to grow and represents over 8% of capital raised. We have a dedicated team of over 150 people that are focused on distributing and developing catered products to the private wealth channel.
 As we grow our Fee-Bearing Capital, we earn incremental base management fees. In order to support this growth, we have grown our team of investment and asset management professionals. Our costs are predominantly in the form of compensation for the over 2,500 professionals we employ globally.
 When deploying our clients' capital, we seek to leverage our competitive advantages to acquire high-quality real assets and essential service businesses that form the backbone of the global economy. We use our global reach and access to scale capital to source

 attractive investment opportunities and leverage our deep operating expertise to underwrite investments and create value through active asset management. Our goal is to deliver superior investment returns to our clients and successfully doing so should result in the growth of realized carried interest over time.
 We generate robust Distributable Earnings, which is a key measure of our financial performance. Distributable Earnings of BAM represent the Distributable Earnings from the Asset Management Company. BAM intends to pay out approximately 90% of its Distributable Earnings to shareholders quarterly and reinvest the balance back into the business, as discussed further in "Part II—Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Key Financial and Operating Measures."
 We are actively progressing new organic growth strategies, including transition and secondaries. We are also pursuing strategic M&A opportunities that would expand our capabilities. These new initiatives, in addition to our existing strategies, are expected to have a very meaningful impact on our growth trajectory in the long term as BAM continues to be the partner of choice for investors. An example of such growth is the partnership we formed with Oaktree in 2019, which deepened the capabilities we offer our clients and better positions us across market cycles. Such acquisitions may occur from time to time should they be additive to our franchise, attractive to our clients, and accretive to our shareholders.
 Competitive Advantages
 We seek to harness the following four distinct competitive advantages that enable us to consistently identify and invest in high-quality assets and create significant value in the assets that we invest in and operate on behalf of our clients.
 Operating Expertise
 We are supported globally by approximately 250,000 operating employees of our managed businesses, who are instrumental in maximizing the value and cash flows of our managed assets. We believe that strong operating experience is essential in maximizing efficiency and productivity – and ultimately, returns. We do this by maintaining a culture of long-term focus, alignment of interest and collaboration through the people we hire, our compensation philosophy, and our operating philosophy. This operating expertise developed through our heritage as an owner-operator is invaluable in underwriting investments, conducting thorough due diligence, and executing value-creating development and capital projects.
 Global Reach
 We invest on behalf of our clients in more than 30 countries on five continents around the world. We believe that our global reach allows us to diversify and identify a broad range of opportunities. We can invest where capital is scarce, and we believe that our scale enables us to move quickly and pursue multiple opportunities across different markets. Our global reach also allows us to operate our assets more effectively: we believe that a strong on-the-ground presence is critical to operating successfully in many of our markets, and many of our businesses are truly local. Furthermore, the combination of our strong local presence and global reach enables us to bring relationships and operating practices to bear across markets to enhance returns.
 Large Scale
 We had over $1 trillion in Assets Under Management and $539 billion in Fee-Bearing Capital as of December 31, 2024. We offer our investors a large selection of private funds that have global mandates and diversified strategies. Our access to large-scale, flexible capital allows us to pursue transactions on a scale beyond the reach of many, delivering superior risk-adjusted returns.
 Brookfield Ecosystem
 The unique intelligence we generate from the ongoing interconnectivity between our over $1 trillion of Assets Under Management, our global partnerships and our visibility into global capital flows helps us identify themes and trends in investing, spot pockets of value and source attractive investment opportunities as BAM continues to be the partner of choice for investors. This competitive advantage has allowed us to build leading positions in assets classes that are most in favor among investors and deliver strong investment returns to our clients across multiple business cycles.
 Investment Process
 Our Investment Process Leads to Value Creation
 Earning robust returns on the investments we make on behalf of our clients enhances our ability to increase our Fee-Bearing Capital and generates carried interest, both of which grow our cash flows and create value for our shareholders.

 1. Raise Capital
 As an asset manager, the starting point of the investment cycle is establishing new funds and other investment products for our clients. This in turn provides the capital to invest, from which we earn base management fees, incentive distributions and performance-based returns such as carried interest. Accordingly, we create value by increasing our amount of Fee-Bearing Capital and by achieving strong investment performance, which leads to growth in Fee-Bearing Capital and increased cash flows.
 2. Identify and Invest in High-Quality Assets
 We follow a value-based approach to investing and allocating capital. We believe that our disciplined approach, global reach and operating expertise afford us access to a wide range of potential opportunities and enable us to invest at attractive valuations and generate superior risk-adjusted returns for our clients. We also leverage our considerable expertise in executing recapitalizations, operational turnarounds and large development and capital projects, providing additional opportunities to deploy capital.
 3. Secure Long-Term Financing
 For our equity investments we finance the investments on behalf of our clients predominantly on a long-term investment-grade basis and asset-by-asset, which are primarily non-recourse. This financing approach provides us with considerable stability, improves our ability to withstand financial downturns and enables our asset management teams to focus on operations and other growth initiatives.
 4. Enhance Value and Cash Flows Through Operating Expertise
 We use our operating capabilities to increase the value of the assets within our product offerings and the cash flows they produce, and they help to protect our clients' capital in adverse conditions. The combination of operating expertise, development capabilities and effective financing can help ensure that an investment's full value creation potential is realized, which we believe is one of our most important competitive advantages.
 5. Realize Capital from Asset Sales or Refinancing
 We actively monitor opportunities to sell or refinance assets to generate proceeds for our investors. Capital generated in our limited life funds is returned to investors, and in the case of our perpetual funds, we then redeploy the capital to enhance returns. In many cases, returning capital from private funds completes the investment process, locks in investor returns and gives rise to performance income.

 Products and Principal Strategies
 Our products broadly fall into one of three categories: (i) long-term private funds, (ii) permanent capital vehicles and perpetual strategies, and (iii) liquid strategies. These are invested across five principal strategies: (i) renewable power and transition, (ii) infrastructure, (iii) real estate, (iv) private equity, and (v) credit.

 Development of the Business
 Our asset management business is owned and operated through the Asset Management Company, which, as of February 4, 2025, is wholly-owned by BAM.
 BAM is headquartered in New York, NY and was incorporated on July 4, 2022. BAM and the Asset Management Company were formed by BN to facilitate the 2022 Arrangement. The 2022 Arrangement, which closed on December 9, 2022, involved the division of Brookfield Asset Management Inc. into two publicly traded companies: BAM, a pure-play, leading global alternative asset management business; and BN, a leading global investment firm focused on building long-term wealth for institutions and individuals around the world.
 As at December 31, 2024, BAM owned approximately 27% of the Asset Management Company. On February 4, 2025, BAM completed a corporate restructuring with BN by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "2025 Plan of Arrangement"), which was originally announced on October 31, 2024, whereby BN transferred its approximate 73% interest in the Asset Management Company to BAM in exchange for newly issued Class A Shares of BAM, on a one-for-one basis (the "2025 Arrangement"). After giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement, BAM owns 100% of the Asset Management Company, and BN owns approximately 73% of the Class A Shares. The 2025 Arrangement is expected to continue to broaden BAM's shareholder base and simplify the structure of the Asset Management Company further by having its ownership consolidated under BAM, rather than being split between BN and BAM. The 2025 Arrangement also resulted in BAM's market capitalization reflecting 100% of the value of the asset management business, which management believes will align BAM's size and structure with its U.S.-based global alternative asset management business peers and position BAM for potential inclusion in some of the most widely followed global large cap stock indices, including in the U.S., in the future. As part of these efforts, a number of changes were made to BAM's board of directors. Please see "Part III—Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance—Directors and Executive Officers" on page 198 of this report.

 The following is a summary of other recent developments affecting BAM and our asset management business since January 1, 2024.
 Asset Management Business
 2025 Activity
 On February 10, 2025, BAM announced a 20 billion infrastructure investment program to support the deployment of artificial intelligence infrastructure in France. Brookfield's investment will be targeted across data centers and associated infrastructure sectors which are vital for the deployment of artificial intelligence. Up to 15 billion of data center investment will be led by a Brookfield portfolio company, Data4, one of Europe's largest data center developers, headquartered in Paris. The investment of a further 5 billion is planned by Brookfield in France across associated artificial intelligence infrastructure such as data transfer, chip storage and energy generation. The total 20 billion investment is projected to be delivered by 2030.
 On February 11, 2025, Oaktree announced the final close of Oaktree Opportunities Fund XII ("Opps XII"), with approximately $16 billion of commitments, including co-investment and affiliated vehicles. As of February 11, the Fund has more than $7 billion invested or committed for investment in businesses that are diversified across geographies, sectors, and asset classes.
 On March 11, 2025, BAM announced the closing of its inaugural Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions Fund ("BISS"), a middle-market infrastructure fund, achieving its fundraising target with over $1 billion of capital commitments. BISS is focused on deploying Brookfield's capabilities as an owner and operator of global infrastructure assets to partner with sponsors, developers, and corporates in the mid-market. The strategy seeks to invest both structured and common equity.
 2024 Activity
 In 2024, our asset management business benefited from strong fundraising across our flagship and complementary fund offerings, with total fundraising of over $135 billion. The successful fundraising across our flagship series included the second vintage of our global transition fund of $4.6 billion, our fifth real estate flagship fund of $2.9 billion, and the twelfth vintage of our opportunistic credit fund of $5.2 billion. We expect to hold a final close for our second global transition flagship fund and fifth real estate flagship fund series in the first half of 2025.
 We also raised approximately $103 billion of capital this year across more than a dozen credit strategies and under our mandate with BWS. This includes raising nearly $29 billion across our Oaktree franchise, including our aforementioned twelfth opportunities credit fund, $1.7 billion in the fourth vintage of our infrastructure debt fund, and $2.5 billion across our other partner managers. In addition, we raised a total of $67 billion from BWS including a $49 billion mandate following the May 2, 2024 acquisition of AEL and $17 billion from retail annuity sales, pension risk transfer inflows, and other reinsurance products.
 Our Fee-Bearing Capital represents the total capital managed by our asset management business for which we earn fee revenue. Fee-Bearing Capital of our asset management business increased by $82 billion, or 18% to $539 billion in 2024; of this, 87% is long-dated or perpetual in nature, providing resiliency and predictability to our revenues. Increases to Fee-Bearing Capital of $129 billion were largely attributable to fundraising during the year and the aforementioned AEL Mandate. These increases were partially offset by redemptions within our liquid and perpetual strategies and annuity-related outflows.
 The increase in Fee-Bearing Capital contributed to Fee Revenues of $4.7 billion and Fee-Related Earnings of $2.5 billion for 2024, which increased by 7% and 10%, respectively, compared to 2023. The increase in Fee-Related Earnings was partially offset by higher cash taxes resulting in DE of $2.4 billion for 2024, or an increase of 5% compared to 2023.
 During the year, our asset management business deployed $47.6 billion across the business groups, including $5.6 billion from renewable power and transition, $3.8 billion from infrastructure, $5.9 billion from private equity, $6.1 billion from real estate and $26.2 billion from credit.
 As at December 31, 2024, the asset management business had total uncalled private fund commitments of $115 billion of which approximately $53 billion is committed across the business groups and is currently not earning fees, but will become fee-bearing once the capital is invested. Once invested, we expect these commitments will earn approximately $530 million of additional Fee Revenues.
 Digitalization is being further propelled by significant increases in AI investment, increasing corporate clean energy demand, and the transformative role of private credit in the capital markets. In 2024, our investment strategies continued to focus on growing fundraising channels, direct credit lending, infrastructure, and transition and renewables. Some notable examples include:
 • In February 2024, BAM announced that it raised $10 billion (inclusive of fund commitments and strategic capital from the investor base of our asset management business) in the first closing of the second vintage of Brookfield Global Transition Fund, our private fund dedicated to facilitating the global transition to a net-zero carbon economy. Total fundraising for the strategy this year was $5.2 billion.
 • On May 2, 2024, BWS completed the acquisition of the remaining outstanding common stock of AEL that it did not already own. The acquisition by BWS from BN of the BAM Class A Shares required to satisfy the stock consideration pursuant to the

 AEL acquisition resulted in an increase to BAM's ownership in the Asset Management Company (after giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement, the non-controlling interest in BAM) from approximately 25% to approximately 27%. The AEL acquisition also resulted in the raising of $49 billion of fee-bearing capital to be managed by the asset management business.
 • On September 17, 2024, we acquired a 51% stake in Castlelake's fee-related earnings, a 7.5% stake in Castlelake's carried interest, 20% of returns from GP commitments, and 51% of GP commitments for in-market and future Castlelake funds for total cash consideration of approximately $489 million. In addition, BWS committed to invest approximately $1 billion in Castlelake's investment strategies and funds.
 • We launched our Catalytic Transition Fund with an initial close on September 23, 2024, of which $2.4 billion was raised in the year. This new capital is inclusive of the $1 billion anchor investment from ALT RRA, the world's largest private climate investment fund.
 • On September 26, 2024, we completed our acquisition of Pinegrove Ventures (previously "SVB Capital"), the investment platform business of SVB Financial Group through Pinegrove Venture Partners ("Pinegrove"). Pinegrove is our venture investment platform formed and owned in partnership with Sequoia Heritage, focused on providing secondary solutions within the growth and technology sector. Pinegrove manages approximately $10 billion in assets.

 Organizational Structure
 The following simplified diagram illustrates our organizational structure as at March 7, 2025.

 Employees
 We have a team of over 2,500 investment and asset management professionals that are integral to the business, including individuals focused on our core investment strategies and those undertaking various corporate activities. Approximately 270 of these are employed by BAM and the remainder are employed by the Asset Management Company and their subsidiaries. In 2024, BAM provided the services of our employees to the Asset Management Company on a cost recovery basis under the Asset Management Services Agreement. Our long-term approach to our business influences everything we do, including how we make investment decisions, how we support and oversee our businesses, and how we develop our people and compensate them. Our employee compensation programs link a significant portion of employee rewards to successful investment outcomes. Our emphasis on fostering collaboration enables us to benefit from a diverse set of skills and experiences. Our talent management processes and our approach to long-term compensation encourage collaboration. This shows itself in a number of ways, including in the sharing of expertise and best practices through both formal and informal channels and building relationships and capabilities through employee secondments and transfers.
 We have a group of dedicated operations professionals in all our key regions that have extensive experience leading businesses. We take an active role in enhancing the performance of the assets and businesses we acquire. As a result, our operations team is fully integrated – meaning our operations professionals sit alongside our experienced investment team working hand in hand from diligence to the execution of our business plan and through the monetization phase of an investment. The team works closely with the senior management teams of the companies in which we invest to develop and implement business improvements that enable us to increase cash flow and our return on capital. While enhancement opportunities may differ across assets and businesses, they generally involve a combination of strategic repositioning, focus on operational excellence and enhanced commercial execution.
 We recognize that people drive our success, and therefore hiring, developing and retaining our people is one of our top priorities. We do this by ensuring our people are constantly engaged and provide a wide range of development opportunities across all levels. We aim to create an environment that is built on strong relationships and conducive to developing our workforce, and where individuals from diverse backgrounds can thrive.
 Globally, we are supported by approximately 250,000 full-time operating employees (up 2% from approximately 240,000 in 2023). We also periodically hire contractors as needed to support the growth of our business. The chart below sets out our full-time operating employees by region as at December 31, 2024.

 Other full time operating employees represents over 70 countries and no country makes up greater than 3% of the total balance.

 Competition
 BAM competes with many other firms in every aspect of our business, including raising funds, investments opportunities and hiring and retaining professionals. In our view, competition for fund investors is based primarily on investment performance, willingness to invest, investor perception of the investment manager, the investment manager's reputation, duration of relationships, quality of services, pricing, fund terms including fees, and the relative attractiveness of our present or future investments. We believe that competition for investment opportunities is based primarily on the pricing, terms and structure (including financing conditions) of a proposed investment and certainty of execution.
 Strong investment performance enhances our ability to compete for investors. Our investors and potential investors continually assess investment performance and our ability to raise capital for existing and future funds depends on our funds' relative and absolute performance. If our investment returns or changes in investment mandates prevent us from raising further capital from our existing partners, we may need to identify and attract new investors in order to maintain or increase the size of our private funds. Further, as competition and disintermediation in the asset management industry increase, there may be pressure to reduce or modify our asset management fees, including base management fees and/or carried interest, or modify other terms governing our current asset management fee structure, in order to attract and retain investors.
 There are other funds focused on renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit strategies that compete for investor capital. Fund managers have also increasingly adopted investment strategies outside of their traditional focus. Furthermore, as institutional fund investors increasingly consolidate their relationships for multiple investment products with a few investment firms, competition for capital from such institutional fund investors may become more acute. Such consolidation may lead institutional fund investors to prefer more established investment firms, which could help us to compete against newer entrants or investment firms that are smaller in size or offer more limited types of investment strategies.
 Competition is also intense for the attraction and retention of qualified personnel. Our ability to continue to compete effectively in our businesses will depend upon our ability to attract new asset management and investment professionals and other employees and retain and motivate our existing personnel.
 For additional information regarding the competitive risks that we face, please see "Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors".

 Risk Management
 Our Approach

 Focus on Risk Culture
 Maintain an effective risk culture that aligns our business strategy and activities with our risk tolerance

 Shared Execution
 Business and functional groups are primarily responsible for identifying and managing risks within their business

 Oversight and Coordination
 Consistent approach and practices across business and functional groups, with coordinated management of common risks

 Managing risk is an integral and critical part of our business. We have a well-established, proactive and disciplined risk management approach that is based on clear operating methods and a strong risk management culture. We ensure that we have the necessary capacity and resilience to respond to changing environments by evaluating both current and emerging risks. We adhere to a robust risk management framework and methodology that is designed to enable comprehensive and consistent management of risk across the organization. We use a thorough and integrated risk assessment process to identify and evaluate risk areas across the business, including human capital, climate change, cybersecurity, liquidity, disruption, regulatory compliance and other strategic, financial, and operational risks. Management and mitigation approaches are tailored to the specific risk areas and executed by business and functional groups for their businesses and areas of responsibility, with appropriate coordination and oversight through monitoring and reporting processes.
 Focus on Risk Culture
 A strong risk culture is the cornerstone of our risk management program: one that promotes measured and appropriate risk-taking, addresses current and emerging risks, and ensures employees conduct business with a long-term perspective and in a sustainable and ethical manner. This culture is reinforced by the strong commitment and leadership of our senior executives and supported by the policies and practices we have implemented, including our compensation approach.
 Shared Execution
 Given the diversified and decentralized nature of our operations, we seek to ensure that risk is managed as close to its source as possible and by management teams that have the most knowledge and expertise in the specific business or risk area. As such, business specific risks—such as health and safety, environmental and other operational risks—are generally managed at the operating business level, as the risks vary based on the nature of each business. At the same time, we monitor key risks organization-wide to ensure adequacy of risk management, adherence to applicable Brookfield policies, and sharing of best practices.
 For risks that are more pervasive and correlated in their impact across the organization—such as liquidity, foreign exchange and interest rates or where we can bring specialized knowledge—we utilize a coordinated approach that is centralized amongst our corporate and business groups. Management of strategic, reputational and regulatory and compliance risks are similarly coordinated to ensure consistent focus and implementation across the organization.
 Oversight and Coordination
 We have implemented strong governance practices to monitor and oversee our risk management program. Management committees bring together required expertise to manage key risk areas, ensuring appropriate application and coordination of risk management practices across our business and functional groups, and include the following:
 • Risk Management Steering Committee: supports the overall corporate risk management program, and coordinates risk assessment and mitigation on an enterprise-wide basis.
 • Investment Committees: oversee the investment process and review and approve investment transactions.
 • Conflicts Committee: resolves potential conflict situations in the investment process and other corporate transactions.
 • Financial Risk Oversight Committee: reviews and monitors financial exposures.
 • Sustainability Leadership: oversees, coordinates and implements activities related to sustainability, including current and future initiatives, and sector and market trends.
 • Safety Leadership Committee: promotes a strong safety culture, monitors safety trends, and sponsors strategic initiatives related to health, safety, security and environmental matters.
 • Net Zero Steering Committee: develops decarbonization targets, operationalizes decarbonization approaches and shares best practices across the organization.

 • Disclosure Committee: oversees the public disclosure of material information.

 Regulatory Matters
 Our business, including our investment advisory and broker-dealer business, is subject to substantial and increasing regulatory compliance obligations and oversight, and this higher level of scrutiny gives rise to certain risks.
 See "Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Relating to our Business—We are subject to numerous laws, rules and regulatory requirements which may impact our business, including resulting in financial penalties, loss of business and/or damage to our reputation in instances of non-compliance".

 Sustainability
 Sustainability at Brookfield
 We believe that value creation and sustainable business practices are complementary goals. We draw on our 100+ year heritage as an owner and operator to invest for value and seek to generate strong returns for our clients across economic cycles. Our investment strategy has remained unchanged throughout our firm's history – we focus on utilizing our operational expertise to enhance long-term value through strategic and operational improvements within our operating businesses and portfolio companies. Our primary objective is to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns without compromise to our fiduciary duty.
 Our Sustainability Policy outlines our approach and is based on the following guiding principles:
 Mitigate the impact of our operations on the environment
 • Strive to minimize the environmental impact of operations and improve efficient use of resources over time.
 • Support the ambition of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions by 2050 or sooner.
 Strive to ensure the well-being and safety of employees
 • Foster a positive work environment based on respect for human rights, valuing diversity and having zero tolerance for workplace discrimination, violence or harassment.
 • Operate with leading health and safety practices to support the goal of achieving zero serious safety incidents.
 Uphold strong governance practices
 • Operate to the highest ethical standards by conducting business activities in accordance with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.
 • Maintain strong stakeholder relationships through transparency and active engagement.
 Be good corporate citizens
 • Strive to ensure the interests, safety and well-being of the communities in which we operate are integrated into our business decisions.
 • Support philanthropy and volunteerism by our employees.
 Our global sustainability policy codifies our longstanding strategy of integrating sustainability considerations into our decision-making. This policy is reviewed at least annually and, where applicable, updated periodically by our senior executives, as well as each of our business groups.
 Sustainability Affiliations and Partnerships
 Through our engagement with sustainability frameworks and organizations, we continue to evolve our sustainability reporting and protocols to align with leading practices. The following are some of the frameworks and organizations with which we are affiliated:
 • Principles for Responsible Investment ("PRI") – We have been signatories to the PRI since 2020 and complete the PRI assessment annually, which reinforces our longstanding commitment to responsible investment and sustainability best practices.
 • International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") Sustainability Alliance – We are members of the IFRS Sustainability Alliance, a global program established to develop globally accepted accounting and sustainability disclosures.
 We review all of our memberships with external organizations periodically or in the event of material changes in their strategy or

 operations to determine if they continue to be aligned with our objectives.
 Sustainability Organization and Governance
 Upholding robust sustainability programs throughout our firm, business groups, and encouraging our portfolio companies to do the same, remains an important priority. We understand that good governance is essential to sustainable business operations. The oversight of sustainability is integrated into our overall governance framework and is aligned with our governance approach. We are committed to upholding strong practices to monitor and oversee our business, including our overall approach to sustainability.
 Our Board is focused on maintaining strong corporate governance and prioritizing the interests of our shareholders. The Board oversees our business, including reviewing major strategic initiatives and receiving progress reports on the firm's sustainability initiatives throughout the year.
 Our approach to sustainability has sponsorship and oversight from each business group's CEO and sustainability leads, supported by senior executives, including the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Brookfield (Governance, Operations and Risk Management) and BAM's CEO of Renewable Power and Transition (Decarbonization and Investment), working in collaboration with BAM's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (GHG Reporting and Measurement). Since sustainability covers a significant range of priorities that are varied in scope, we believe that sustainability initiatives should be overseen by individuals closest to the particular business activity. Functional leads are responsible for developing, implementing and monitoring relevant sustainability factors within their functional area, such as Technology Services and Human Resources.
 Management teams and committees, including the Decarbonization Steering Committee and Safety Leadership Committee, bring together expertise to address key sustainability areas. This focuses on proper application and coordination of approaches across our business and functional groups. We organize working groups dedicated to specialized areas, such as the Sustainability Working Group and Decarbonization Operational Committee, to develop and coordinate initiatives to advance our overall sustainability efforts.
 Integrating Sustainability into Our Investment Process
 As part of our due diligence over investments where we have control or significant influence, we seek to assess sustainability-related opportunities and risks and factor them into the overall investment decision. This includes leveraging industry guidance to identify sustainability factors most likely to materially impact the financial condition or operating performance of companies in a sector. As part of our Sustainability Due Diligence Protocol, we provide specific guidance to investment teams on assessing bribery and corruption, cybersecurity, health and safety, human rights, modern slavery and climate-related risks. Where warranted, we perform deeper due diligence, working with internal and third-party experts as appropriate.
 Investments, other than de-minimis or follow on investments, must be approved by the applicable Investment Committee. Investment teams present the Investment Committee with the merits of the transaction, its material risks, mitigants and significant opportunities for improvement, including sustainability aspects and their implications for investment returns.
 As part of each acquisition, investment teams develop a customized integration plan that encompasses, among other items, significant sustainability-related matters for evaluation or implementation. We believe there is a strong correlation between managing these considerations appropriately and enhancing investment returns.
 Consistent with our management approach, it is the responsibility of management teams within each portfolio company to manage sustainability opportunities and risks through the investment's life cycle, supported by our applicable investment teams. The combination of local accountability and expertise along with our investment and operating experience and insight is important when managing a wide range of asset types across jurisdictions. We leverage these capabilities in collaborating on sustainability initiatives, where appropriate, to drive returns. Where appropriate, we encourage our portfolio companies to organize training on a variety of sustainability matters for relevant staff.
 Management teams regularly report to their respective boards of directors from both financial and operating perspectives, including key performance indicators that incorporate material sustainability factors, such as health and safety, compliance with regulatory requirements, environmental management, and, increasingly, GHG emissions.
 For investments where we do not have a controlling interest, for example, where we are a debt investor or in other circumstances where we do not have the ability to exercise influence through our contractual rights, we actively monitor the performance of our investments and, where appropriate, utilize our stewardship and engagement practices to encourage sustainability outcomes that are aligned with our sustainability approach.
 When preparing an asset for divestiture, we seek to outline potential value creation deriving from several different factors, including relevant sustainability considerations. Where applicable, we also prepare both qualitative and quantitative data that summarize the sustainability performance of the investment and provide a holistic understanding of how we managed the investment during the holding period.

 Stewardship and Engagement
 In managing our assets, we leverage our significant influence and operating capabilities to collaborate with our portfolio companies. We encourage sound sustainability practices that are essential for building resilient and profitable businesses, aiming to create long-term value for our investors and stakeholders. Due to the operational nature of our value creation methods, we focus on investing in private markets where we can often acquire controlling interests, or positions of significant influence, in order to deploy our operations-oriented investment strategies.
 As a result, proxy voting does not represent a significant portion of our investment activities. The majority of our proxy voting occurs within Brookfield's Public Securities Group, which represents a very small portion of our overall business (approximately 1% of our AUM as of December 31, 2024).
 The following is a summary of some of the sustainability initiatives that we undertook in 2024.
 Environmental
 Emissions Reduction Initiatives
 As the world is transitioning to a lower-carbon economy, we view emissions reduction as a material value-creation opportunity. In 2021, we set an ambition to reach net zero by 2050 or sooner across operationally managed investments. Our net-zero ambition targets assets and investments where we can directly influence outcomes—termed "Operationally Managed Investments"—or those already pursuing a transition strategy for economic benefit.
 In selecting which of these assets are capable of making meaningful progress toward decarbonization targets, we prioritize Operationally Managed Investments where:
 • We consider such decarbonization steps will add value over the life of the investment;
 • We can operationally manage the outcomes; and
 • We are able to identify and implement actionable initiatives in the near term.
 Driving efficiency and, consequently, value is a cornerstone of our operations-oriented approach to investing. Therefore, we would expect the quantity and timing of GHG emissions reductions of our portfolio companies over time to be slightly ahead of industry and regional averages. While we view decarbonization as a meaningful operational efficiency lever, we acknowledge that transitioning to a net zero future is an ambition that is subject to many unknowns and uncertainties, including the future availability of required technologies, such as the need for greater battery storage capacity to support the introduction of greater intermittent renewable energy within electricity grids. Despite these challenges, we work with our portfolio companies to identify operational value-enhancement and decarbonization opportunities, including areas such as energy efficiency and electrification measures, amongst others, where our operations teams can work closely with senior management of our portfolio companies to support the implementation of these value-enhancing improvements. In doing so, we are supporting our portfolio companies in maximizing their value, while also achieving their decarbonization potential. This contributes to a future lower emissions economy, while delivering strong risk-adjusted returns for our investors.
 We eschew firm-wide policies purporting to exclude industries or sectors for investment across the energy landscape, including in respect of fossil-fuel-based generation, transportation, and distribution. Nor do we believe in divestment of high-emitting industries. We believe that there is significant value in supporting decarbonization initiatives of the highest-emitting industries where we can deliver the greatest level of impact.
 Leveraging our leading capabilities in development and operation of renewable power over the last 30 years, we launched our inaugural Brookfield Global Transition Fund ("BGTF I"), raising $15 billion of capital in 2022. This transition strategy focuses on building renewable power, providing capital to other decarbonization solutions, and targeting high-emission sectors to help businesses transition to sustainable business models and drive long-term value. Following BGTF I's success, we launched BGTF II in 2023, which is expected to surpass the scale of its predecessor.
 Our investments in BGTF I and II aim to deliver strong risk-adjusted financial returns and meaningful decarbonization impacts. These funds seek to invest in clean energy expansion, sustainable solutions (i.e., carbon capture and storage, waste recycling,) and transforming companies in carbon-intensive sectors to more sustainable and value accretive business models.
 Beyond our global transition fund strategy, we do not limit our investments to those that meet specific sustainability criteria or standards. Through the expertise developed within our global transition strategy, we can offer resources and tools to help companies better identify operational value-enhancement and decarbonization opportunities. Across all investments, we invest capital on behalf of our clients with the primary objective of delivering strong risk-adjusted returns.

 Water, Waste and Biodiversity
 Reducing the impact of our overall water consumption and waste generation helps build efficient systems, resiliency in our businesses and contributes to a sustainable future. We seek to utilize leading practices to efficiently monitor water usage and for certain portfolio companies, manage performance, with the objective to seek opportunities for water consumption reduction. In addition, we seek to adhere to all applicable local and regional waste regulations and track waste and recycling metrics. Encouraging the conservation of nature and its associated living organisms and ecosystem services is an important component in achieving our decarbonization goals and managing physical risks related to climate change.
 Social
 Culture Matters: Human Capital Development
 Our people are our most important asset. The core values of collaboration, entrepreneurship and discipline underpin our firmwide culture. We invest in our people and prepare them for future leadership. Our firmwide culture, from our dealings with clients to the interactions among employees and executives, is defined by mutual respect, teamwork and passion, and revolves around our core values:
 • Collaboration: Leadership works side by side with colleagues throughout the organization and is committed to achieving shared success. One of the key attributes that we screen carefully for in new hires is their aptitude to collaborate with others. The firm wants people to share information across groups and take an interest in all the businesses, not just the one they happen to work for at any particular point in time. We do not hire people just for a specific job; we hire for the potential of all the future positions they might hold and that will contribute to the broader success of the firm. We actively look for people who want to learn, grow, and develop—and demonstrate a willingness to be stretched outside their comfort zone.
 • Entrepreneurship: Our flat organization is results-oriented—responsibility is earned based on initiative and hard work, rather than job title—and decisions are made close to the action. This principle is not uncommon, but we have encouraged our entrepreneurial spirit throughout our growth during the past 20 years. We look for employees who have a passion not only for what they do but also for what the firm does. The shared values of ownership extend beyond helping the company succeed or generate more revenue. It means caring about the little things as well, such as not wasting money and treating everyone with respect.
 • Discipline: Our team shares an awareness of, and commitment to, our goal of generating superior long-term returns for investors. Discipline also requires that each person is expected to have a realistic understanding of his or her own abilities. We expect employees to understand their strengths, recognize their weaknesses, be willing to stretch outside their comfort zones, and be willing to ask for help when necessary.
 The three attributes—collaboration, entrepreneurship, and discipline—form the foundation of Brookfield and have been critical to the success of the partnership in building relationships that are long-lasting and mutually rewarding. By hiring talented people and giving them opportunities to move into different businesses, we have been able to build our expertise into a broad ecosystem that facilitates collaboration across different areas and geographies as needed. The teams draw on sound data and expertise to identify emergent themes—informing their investment process and enabling us to draw upon actionable intelligence for the benefit of its investors.
 Employee Composition
 The composition and makeup of our employee base is indicative of our focus that, as we grow, our people reflect the communities in which we operate. We recognize that a workforce encompassing a variety of backgrounds is critical to our success. A diverse workforce not only reinforces our core principles of long-term focus, alignment of interests, and collaboration, but also provides for a more dynamic and interesting work environment.
 We are committed to a hiring process that is objective, nondiscriminatory and in compliance with all applicable legislation and good governance. It is grounded in our commitment to provide equal employment opportunities with the objective of attracting the highest-qualified talent to our business. We proactively recruit people who align with the attributes of a Brookfield leader and have the potential to develop within our organization. Our succession process focuses on the development of early career candidates through stretch roles and exposure.
 Occupational Health and Safety
 Managing health and safety risk is an integral part of the management of our business. Our goal is to have zero serious safety incidents.
 We have implemented a health and safety governance initiative to propagate a strong health and safety culture, encourage the sharing of best practices and support the continuous improvement of safety performance to help eliminate serious safety incidents. The initiative is overseen by the Safety Leadership Committee, which comprises senior operations executives from across our business groups and regions. Portfolio company management is responsible for ensuring that their company's health and safety policies and systems are developed, operationalized, and reviewed regularly to address their specific risk areas. Portfolio company CEOs are

 accountable for the safety performance of their companies, and they report to their respective board of directors on this safety performance, safety incidents, and the status of improvement initiatives. Reports on overall health and safety trends and key initiatives are provided to the Board as part of the quarterly operational risk update.
 Human Rights and Modern Slavery
 Regarding human rights, we are committed to conducting our business in an ethical and responsible manner, including by carrying out our activities in a manner that respects fundamental human rights and supports the prevention of human rights violations within our business. We strive to embed this into our core business activities, including training, communications, contracts and due diligence processes set out in our Human Rights and Anti-Modern Slavery Policy ("Human Rights Policy"), Sustainability Due Diligence Protocol and Vendor Management Program.
 Integrity, fairness and respect are hallmarks of our culture, including carrying out our activities by respecting fundamental human rights and our efforts to identify and prevent human rights violations within our business and supply chain. We are committed to policies aimed at maintaining a workplace free of discrimination, violence and harassment, and we expect our staff to act in a way which promotes a positive working environment. Our Human Rights Policy aims to codify our approach to minimizing the risk of modern slavery within our business and supply chain. We also have specific processes aimed at identifying human rights and modern slavery as part of due diligence for new investments, which include risk assessments, remedies, training and governance. Where appropriate, these processes give consideration to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights as part of our due diligence process and ongoing management.
 In addition, our Human Rights Policy consolidates the relevant commitments set out in our Code of Conduct, Sustainability Policy, financial crimes policies, and Whistleblowing Policy. We have several additional policies and procedures that provide guidance on the identification of human rights and modern slavery risks and the steps to be taken to mitigate these risks.
 Governance
 Strong governance is essential to sustainable business operations, and we aim to conduct our business according to high ethical and legal standards.
 Sustainability Regulation and Frameworks
 Our governance practices are the foundation upon which we operate our business. We continuously adapt and enhance our policies to meet evolving standards and regulations across jurisdictions in which we operate.
 Data Privacy and Cybersecurity
 Data privacy and cybersecurity remain key sustainability focus areas for us. We undertake initiatives to further enhance our data protection and threat-intelligence capabilities, and to improve our third-party risk management processes. We review and update our cybersecurity program at least annually and conduct regular external-party assessments of our program maturity based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework. Additionally, we have continued mandatory cybersecurity education for all employees and enhanced our phishing simulations to include more advanced simulations and social engineering. For additional disclosure on our approach to data privacy and cybersecurity, see "Part I—Item 1C. Cybersecurity", below.

 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
 You should carefully consider the following factors in addition to other information set forth in this Annual Report. If any of the following risks were actually to occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations and the prospects and value of the Class A Shares would likely suffer.

 Risks Relating to Our Business
 The trading price of the Class A Shares is subject to volatility due to market conditions and other factors and cannot be predicted.
 The market price of our Class A Shares may be volatile and could fluctuate significantly in response to factors both related and unrelated to our operating performance and/or future prospects, including, but not limited to: (i) variations in our operating results and financial condition; (ii) actual or prospective changes in government laws, rules or regulations affecting our business and our managed assets; (iii) material announcements by us, our affiliates or our competitors; (iv) the general state of the securities markets; (v) market conditions and events specific to the industries in which we and our managed assets operate; (vi) changes and developments in general economic, political, or social conditions, including as a result of pandemics/epidemics and related economic disruptions; (vii) changes in the values of our investments and distributions or changes in the amount of interest paid in respect of investments; (viii) differences between our actual financial results and those expected by investors and analysts; (ix) changes in analysts' recommendations or earnings projections; (x) the depth and liquidity of the market for the Class A Shares; (xi) dilution from the issuance of additional equity; (xii) investor perception of our business, our managed assets and the sectors in which we deploy the funds from our strategies; (xiii) investment restrictions; (xiv) our dividend policy; (xv) the departure of key executives; (xvi) sales of Class A Shares by senior management or significant shareholders; and (xvii) the materialization of other risks.
 Deficiencies in our public company financial reporting and disclosures could adversely impact our reputation.
 As we expand the size and scope of our business, there is a greater susceptibility that our financial reporting and other public disclosure documents may contain material misstatements and that the controls we maintain to attempt to ensure the complete accuracy of our public disclosures may fail to operate as intended. The occurrence of such events could adversely impact our reputation and financial condition. In addition, we disclose certain metrics that do not have standardized meaning, are based on our own methodologies and assumptions and may not properly convey the information they purport to reflect.
 Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting to give our stakeholders assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in conformity with U.S. GAAP. However, the process for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls over financial reporting has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error. In addition, we may exclude recently acquired companies from our evaluation of internal controls.
 Our internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements in our financial disclosures on a timely basis, or at all. Some of these processes may be new for certain subsidiaries in our structure, and in the case of acquisitions, may take time to be fully implemented.
 Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under U.S. and Canadian securities laws is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified. Our policies and procedures governing disclosures may not ensure that all material information regarding us is disclosed in a proper and timely fashion, or that we will be successful in preventing the disclosure of material information to a single person or a limited group of people before such information is generally disseminated.
 As at December 31, 2024, BAM used the equity method of accounting for its interest in our asset management business, and our asset management business' results are not consolidated into BAM's financial statements, and therefore the recording of our asset management business' transactions into its accounts is not part of BAM's internal control structure. BAM has provided Asset Management Company stand-alone financial statements in this report. However, as of December 31, 2024, our asset management business was not independently required to meet Sarbanes-Oxley requirements and BAM did not have the same control and certification processes with respect to the information on our asset management business that it would have if it were a wholly-owned subsidiary of BAM.
 If BAM or our auditors were to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective in respect of any reporting period, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information and the price of our Class A Shares could decline. Our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal controls could have a materially adverse effect on our business, our ability to access capital markets and our reputation. In addition, material weaknesses in our internal controls could require significant expense and management time to remediate.

 Investors may find it difficult or impossible to effect service of process and enforce judgments against us, our directors and our executive officers.
 BAM is headquartered in New York, NY, but some of its officers and directors are not residents of the United States, and a portion of the assets of BAM and said persons are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for U.S. investors to: (i) effect service of process within the United States upon BAM or those directors and officers who are not residents of the United States; or (ii) realize in the United States upon judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the United States federal securities laws. Investors outside of the U.S. will similarly find it difficult to enforce judgments obtained outside of the U.S.
 We are subject to numerous laws, rules and regulatory requirements which may impact our business, including resulting in financial penalties, loss of business and/or damage to our reputation in instances of non-compliance.
 There are many laws, governmental rules and regulations and listing exchange rules that apply to our business and our managed assets. Changes in these laws, rules and regulations, or their interpretation by governmental agencies or the courts, could adversely affect our business, our managed assets, or our prospects, or those of our affiliates, customers, clients or partners. The failure of BAM, our asset management business or the entities that we manage to comply with these laws, rules and regulations, or with the rules and registration requirements of the respective stock exchanges on which we and they are listed, could adversely affect our reputation and financial condition.
 Our business, including our investment advisory and broker-dealer business, is subject to substantial and increasing regulatory compliance obligations and oversight, and this higher level of scrutiny may lead to more regulatory enforcement actions. There continues to be uncertainty regarding the appropriate level of regulation and oversight of asset management businesses in a number of jurisdictions in which we operate. The financial services industry has been the subject of heightened scrutiny and enforcement actions. Regulatory investigations and/or enforcement actions by our regulators could have a material adverse effect on our business and/or reputation. In addition, the introduction of new legislation and increased regulations may result in increased compliance costs and could materially affect the manner in which we conduct our business and adversely affect our profitability. Although there may be some areas where governments in certain jurisdictions propose deregulation, it is difficult to predict the timing and impact of any such deregulation, and we may not materially benefit from any such changes.
 Our business is not only regulated in the U.S., but also in other jurisdictions where we conduct operations including, but not limited to, the E.U., the U.K., Canada, Brazil, Colombia, Australia, India and South Korea. Similar to the environment in the U.S., our business and how we market in jurisdictions outside the U.S. has become subject to further regulation. Governmental agencies around the world have proposed or implemented a number of initiatives and additional rules and regulations that could adversely affect our business and our managed assets, and governmental agencies may propose or implement further rules and regulations in the future. These rules and regulations may impact how we market in these jurisdictions and introduce compliance obligations with respect to disclosure and transparency, as well as restrictions on investor participation and distributions. Such regulations may also prescribe certain capital requirements on our managed assets, and conditions on the leverage our managed assets may employ and the liquidity these managed assets must have. Compliance with additional regulatory requirements will impose additional restrictions and expenses for us and could reduce our operating flexibility and fundraising opportunities.
 The broker-dealer side of our managed assets is regulated by the SEC, the various Canadian provincial securities commissions, as well as self-regulatory organizations, including the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in the U.S. These regulatory bodies may conduct administrative or enforcement proceedings that can result in censure, fine, suspension or expulsion of a broker-dealer, its directors, officers or employees. Such proceedings, whether or not resulting in adverse findings, can require substantial expenditures and can have an adverse impact on the reputation of a broker-dealer.
 The advisors of certain of our managed assets are registered as investment advisers with the SEC. Registered investment advisers are subject to the requirements and regulations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, which grants U.S. supervisory agencies broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict the carrying on of business for failure to comply with laws or regulations. If such powers are exercised, the possible sanctions that may be imposed include the suspension of individual employees, limitations on the activities in which the investment adviser may engage, suspension or revocation of the investment adviser's registration, censure and fines. Compliance with these requirements and regulations results in the expenditure of resources, and a failure to comply could result in investigations, financial or other sanctions, and reputational damage.
 The Investment Company Act and the rules promulgated thereunder provide certain protections to investors and impose certain restrictions on entities that are deemed "investment companies" under the Investment Company Act. We are not currently, nor do we intend to become, an investment company under the Investment Company Act. To ensure that we are not deemed to be an investment company, we may be required to materially restrict or limit the scope of our operations or plans and the types of acquisitions that we may make, and we may need to modify our organizational structure or dispose of assets that we would not otherwise dispose of. If we were required to register as an investment company, we would face severe limitations on the operation of our business. Among other things, we would be prohibited from engaging in certain business activities (or have conditions placed on our business activities), face

 restrictions on engaging in transactions with affiliated entities and issuing certain securities or engaging in certain types of financings, be restricted with respect to the amount and types of borrowings we are permitted to obtain, be required to limit the amount of investments that we make as principal, and face other limitations on our activities.
 We have and may become subject to additional regulatory and compliance requirements as we expand our product offerings and investment platform which likely will carry additional legal and compliance costs, as well as additional operating requirements that may also increase costs.
 Our strategies primarily invest in renewable power and transition, infrastructure, business services, real estate and industrial assets. In doing so, our managed assets are required to comply with extensive and complex municipal, state or provincial, national and international laws and regulations. These laws and regulations can result in uncertainty and delays and impose additional costs, which may adversely affect our results of operations. Changes in these laws and regulations may negatively impact us and our managed assets or may benefit our competitors and their businesses.
 Additionally, liability under such laws, rules and regulations may occur without our fault. In certain cases, parties can pursue legal actions against us to enforce compliance as well as seek damages for non-compliance or for personal injury or property damage. Our insurance may not provide sufficient coverage in the event that a successful claim is made against us.
 Most of our funds rely on Rule 506 of Regulation D under the U.S. Securities Act to raise capital from investors. Rule 506 is not available to issuers deemed to be "bad actors" under Rule 506 if a covered person of the issuer has been the subject to certain criminal, civil or regulatory disqualifying events. Covered persons include, among others, the issuer, executive officer or other officer participating in the offering of the issuer, any general partner or managing member of the foregoing entities, any promoter of the issuer and any beneficial owner of 20% or more of the issuer's outstanding voting equity securities. If one or more of our funds were to lose the ability to rely on the Rule 506 exemption because a covered person has been the subject of a disqualifying event, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.
 Federal, state and foreign anti-bribery and corruption and trade sanctions laws and restrictions on foreign direct investment applicable to us and our managed assets create the potential for significant liabilities and penalties, the inability to complete transactions, imposition of significant costs and burdens, and reputational harm and we may also be subject to various governmental investigations.
 We are from time to time subject to various governmental investigations, audits and inquiries, both formal and informal. These investigations, regardless of their outcome, can be costly, divert management attention and damage our reputation. The unfavorable resolution of such investigations could result in criminal liability, fines, penalties or other monetary or non-monetary sanctions and could materially affect our business or results of operations.
 We are subject to a number of laws and regulations governing payments and contributions to public officials or other third parties both domestically and in respect of managed assets abroad, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the "FCPA"), various federal and state corruption laws, and similar laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions, such as the U.K. Bribery Act 2010, the Canadian Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act (the "CFPOA") and Part IV of the Criminal Code (Canada), the Brazilian Clean Companies Act, the Australian Criminal Code Act 1995, the Indian Prevention of Corruption Act, and the Bermudian Bribery Act 2016. This global focus on anti-bribery and corruption enforcement may also lead to more investigations, both formal and informal, in this area, the results of which cannot be predicted.
 Instances of bribery, fraud, accounting irregularities and other improper, illegal or corrupt practices can be difficult to detect, in particular when conducting due diligence in connection with acquisitions, and fraud and other deceptive practices can be widespread in certain jurisdictions. We invest in emerging market countries that may not have established stringent anti-bribery and corruption laws and regulations, where existing laws and regulations may not be consistently enforced, or that are perceived to have materially higher levels of corruption according to international rating standards. Due diligence on investment opportunities in these jurisdictions is frequently more challenging because consistent and uniform commercial practices in such locations may not have developed or do not meet international standards. Bribery, fraud, accounting irregularities and corrupt practices can be especially difficult to detect in such locations. When acquiring assets in distress, the quality of financial information of the target may also make it difficult to identify irregularities.
 The FCPA prohibits bribery of non-U.S. officials, candidates for office and political parties, and requires U.S. companies to keep books and records that accurately and fairly reflect those companies' transactions. Similar laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions, such as the U.K. Bribery Act 2010 and the CFPOA, as well as other applicable anti-bribery and corruption or related laws in the U.S. and abroad, may also impose stricter or more onerous requirements than the FCPA, and implementing them may disrupt our business or cause us to incur significantly more costs to comply with those laws. The policies and procedures we have implemented to comply with anti-bribery and corruption legislation may be inadequate. If we fail to comply with such laws and regulations, we could be exposed to claims for damages, financial penalties, incarceration of our employees, reputational harm, restrictions on our operations and other liabilities, which could negatively affect our operating results and financial condition. In addition, we may be subject to successor

 liability for violations under these laws and regulations or other acts of bribery committed by entities in which we or our managed assets invest.
 We are also subject to laws and regulations governing trade and economic sanctions. The Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. Department of State administer and enforce various trade control laws and regulations, including economic and trade sanctions based on U.S. foreign policy and national security goals against targeted foreign states, organizations and individuals. These laws and regulations implicate a number of aspects of our business, including servicing existing fund investors, finding new fund investors, and sourcing new investments, as well as activities by our managed assets or other controlled investments. Some of these regulations provide that penalties can be imposed on us for the conduct of our managed assets, even if we have not ourselves violated any regulation. Similar laws in non-U.S. jurisdictions, such as the Special Economic Measures Act (Canada), the United Nations Act (Canada) and the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act (Canada), and E.U. sanctions, may also impose restrictions or requirements on us or our managed assets. Anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, economic sanctions, and trade control laws imposed by non-U.S. jurisdictions, such as EU and UK sanctions or blocking statutes and the UK Bribery Act, may also impose stricter or more onerous requirements than the FCPA, OFAC, the U.S. Department of Commerce, the U.S. Department of State or U.S. Department of Treasury, and implementing them may disrupt our business or cause us to incur significantly more costs to comply with those laws. Different laws may also contain conflicting provisions, making compliance with all laws more difficult." In February 2022, the U.S. and other countries began imposing meaningful sanctions targeting Russia as a result of actions taken by Russia in Ukraine. We and our managed assets are required to comply with these and potentially additional sanctions imposed by the U.S. and by other countries, for which the full costs, burdens and limitations on our business and prospects are currently unknown and may become significant.
 In addition, the U.S. and many non-U.S. countries that have laws designed to protect national security or to restrict foreign direct investment. For example, under the United States Foreign Investment Risk Review Modernization Act, the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States has the authority to review, block or impose conditions on investments by non-U.S. persons in U.S. companies or real assets deemed critical or sensitive to the U.S. Many non-U.S. jurisdictions have similar laws. For example, the E.U. has adopted an E.U.-wide mechanism to screen foreign investment on national security grounds and most E.U. member states now have a foreign investment screening mechanism in place or has initiated a consultative or legislative process expected to result in the adoption of a new mechanism or amendments to an existing mechanism, adopted a regulation aimed at regulation of foreign subsidies that could distort the internal E.U. market.
 Under these laws, governments have the authority to impose a variety of actions, including requirements for the advance screening or notification of certain transactions, blocking or imposing conditions on certain transactions, limiting the size of foreign equity investments or control by foreign investors, and restricting the employment of foreigners as key personnel. These actions could limit our ability to find suitable investments, cause delays in consummating transactions, result in the abandonment of transactions, and impose burdensome operational requirements on us or our managed assets. These laws could also negatively impact our fundraising and syndication activities by causing us to exclude or limit certain investors in our funds or co-investors for our transactions. Moreover, these laws may make it difficult for us to identify suitable buyers for our investments that we want to exit and could constrain the universe of exit opportunities generally. Complying with these laws imposes potentially significant costs and complex additional burdens, and any failure by us or our managed assets to comply with them could expose us to significant penalties, sanctions, loss of future investment opportunities, additional regulatory scrutiny, and reputational harm.
 Foreign exchange rate fluctuations could adversely impact our aggregate foreign currency exposure and hedging strategies may not be effective.
 We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue growth opportunities in international markets, and often deploy capital in countries where the U.S. dollar is not the local currency. As a result, we are subject to foreign currency risk due to potential fluctuations in exchange rates between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar. A significant depreciation in the value of the currency utilized in one or more countries where we have a significant presence may have a material adverse effect on the results of our operations and financial position. In addition, we are active in certain markets where economic growth is dependent on the price of commodities and the currencies in these markets can be more volatile as a result.
 Our business and our managed assets are impacted by changes in currency rates, interest rates, commodity prices and other financial exposures. We may selectively utilize financial instruments to manage these exposures, including credit default swaps and other derivatives to hedge certain of our financial positions. However, a significant portion of these risks may remain unhedged. We may also choose to establish unhedged positions in the ordinary course of business.
 There is no assurance that hedging strategies, to the extent they are used, will fully mitigate the risks they are intended to offset. Additionally, derivatives that we may use are also subject to their own unique set of risks, including counterparty risk with respect to the financial well-being of the party on the other side of these transactions and a potential requirement to fund mark-to-market adjustments. Our financial risk management policies may not ultimately be effective at managing these risks.

 The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and similar laws in other jurisdictions impose rules and regulations governing oversight of the over-the-counter derivatives market and its participants. These regulations may impose additional costs and regulatory scrutiny on us. If our derivative transactions are required to be executed through exchanges or regulated facilities, we will face incremental collateral requirements in the form of an initial margin and require variation margin to be cash settled on a daily basis. Such an increase in margin requirements (relative to bilateral agreements) or a more restricted list of securities that qualify as eligible collateral, would require us to hold larger positions in cash and treasuries, which could reduce income. We cannot predict the effect of changing derivatives legislation on our hedging costs, our hedging strategy or its implementation, or the risks that we hedge. Regulation of derivatives may increase the cost of derivative contracts, reduce the availability of derivatives to protect against operational risk and reduce the liquidity of the derivatives market, all of which may reduce our use of derivatives and result in the increased volatility and decreased predictability of our cash flows.
 Further increases in interest rates could increase our interest costs and adversely affect our financial performance.
 Many long-life assets are interest rate sensitive. Further increases in interest rates will, other things being equal, decrease the value of an asset by reducing the present value of the cash flows expected to be produced by such asset. As the present value of an income-producing asset may decline as a result of interest rate increases, certain financial and other covenants under credit agreements governing such asset could be breached, even if we have satisfied and continue to satisfy our payment obligations thereunder. Such a breach could result in negative consequences on our financial performance and results of operations.
 Additionally, any of our debt or preferred shares that are subject to variable interest rates, either as an obligation with a variable interest rate or as an obligation with a fixed interest rate that resets into a variable interest rate in the future, are subject to interest rate risk. Further, the value of any debt or preferred share that is subject to a fixed interest rate will be determined based on the prevailing interest rates and, accordingly, this type of debt or preferred share is also subject to interest rate risk.
 In many jurisdictions in which we operate, a period of sharply increasing interest rates may cause certain market dislocations that could negatively impact our financial performance, increase the cost and impact the availability of debt financing and thereby negatively impact the ability of our managed assets to obtain attractive financing or refinancing and could increase the cost of such financing if obtained. Many factors may impact us and our managed assets, including interest rate increases, which would impact the amount of revenue generated by our managed assets and may lead to an increase in the amount of cash required to service our obligations.
 Political instability, changes in government policy or unfamiliar cultural factors could adversely impact the value of our investments.
 We are subject to geopolitical uncertainties in all jurisdictions in which we operate. We make investments in businesses that are based outside of the United States and we may pursue investments in unfamiliar markets, which may expose us to additional risks not typically associated with investing in the United States. We may not properly adjust to the local culture and business practices in such markets, and there is the prospect that we may hire personnel or partner with local persons who might not comply with our culture and ethical business practices; either scenario could result in the failure of our initiatives in new or existing markets and lead to financial losses for us and our managed assets. There are risks of political instability and significant changes in laws and policies in several of our major markets and in other parts of the world in which we conduct business from factors such as political conflict, tariffs and other protectionist trade policies, including the encouragement of the onshoring of manufacturing in the U.S. and other countries, income inequality, refugee migration, terrorism, armed conflict, the potential break-up of countries or political-economic unions and political corruption; the materialization of one or more of these risks could negatively affect our financial performance.
 Further, conflict in Eastern Europe has contributed to global economic uncertainty, resulted in volatility in fuel prices, and heightened cybersecurity and cyber-terrorism disruptions and threats. Further economic and political instability and the commencement, escalation or expansion of armed conflict in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, or elsewhere in the world could significantly disrupt the free movement of goods, services and people, have a destabilizing effect on energy markets and result in potential higher costs of conducting business. Similarly, the inability of local and national governments to effectively manage ongoing political disputes could result in local, regional and/or global instability. The materialization of one or more of these risks could negatively affect our financial performance and adversely impact our business.
 Any existing or new operations may be subject to significant political, economic and financial risks, which vary by country, and may include: (i) changes in government policies and regulations, including tariffs and other protectionist policies, or personnel; (ii) changes in general economic or social conditions; (iii) restrictions on currency transfer or convertibility; (iv) changes in labor relations; (v) military conflict, political instability and civil unrest; (vi) less developed or efficient financial markets than in North America; (vii) the absence of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices and disclosure requirements; (viii) less government supervision and regulation; (ix) a less developed legal or regulatory environment; (x) heightened exposure to corruption risk; (xi) political hostility to investments by foreign investors; (xii) less publicly available information in respect of companies in non-North American markets; (xiii) adversely higher or lower rates of inflation; (xiv) higher transaction costs; (xv) difficulty in enforcing contractual obligations and expropriation or confiscation of assets; and (xvi) fewer investor protections.

 Unforeseen political events in markets where we have significant investors and/or where we have managed assets or may look to for further growth of our assets and businesses, such as the North American, South American, Australian, European, Middle Eastern and Asian markets, may create economic uncertainty that has a negative impact on our financial performance. Such uncertainty could cause disruptions to our businesses, including affecting our managed assets and/or our relationships with our investors, customers and suppliers, as well as altering the relationship among tariffs and currencies, including the value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar. Disruptions and uncertainties could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results and cash flows. In addition, political outcomes in the markets in which we operate may also result in legal uncertainty and potentially divergent national laws and regulations, which can contribute to general economic uncertainty. Economic uncertainty impacting us and our managed assets could be exacerbated by supply chain disruptions, trade policy and geopolitical tensions.
 Unfavorable economic conditions or changes in the industries in which we operate could adversely impact our financial performance.
 We are exposed to local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences beyond our control, including, but not limited to, the following: short-term and long-term interest rates; inflation; credit and capital market volatility; business investment levels; government spending levels; sovereign debt risks; consumer spending levels; changes in laws, rules or regulations; trade barriers; supply chain disruptions; commodity prices; currency exchange rates and controls; national and international political circumstances (including wars, terrorist acts or security operations); catastrophic events (including pandemics/epidemics, earthquakes, tornadoes or floods); the rate and direction of economic growth; and general economic uncertainty. On a global basis, certain industries and sectors have created capacity that anticipated higher growth, which has caused volatility across all markets, including commodity markets, which may have a negative impact on our financial performance. Unfavorable economic conditions could affect the jurisdictions in which our entities are formed and where we and our managed assets operate businesses, and may cause a reduction in: (i) securities prices; (ii) the liquidity of investments made by our managed assets; (iii) the value or performance of the investments made by our managed assets; and (iv) the ability of us and our managed assets to raise or deploy capital, each of which could adversely impact our financial condition.
 In general, a decline in economic conditions, either in the markets or industries in which our strategies invest, or both, will result in downward pressure on our operating margins and asset values as a result of lower demand and increased price competition for the services and products that we provide. In particular, given the importance of the U.S. to our operations, an economic downturn in this market could have a significant adverse effect on our operating margins and asset values.
 Many of our private funds have a finite life that may require us to exit an investment made in a fund at an inopportune time. Volatility in the exit markets for these investments, increasing levels of capital required to finance companies to exit and rising enterprise value thresholds to go public or complete a strategic sale can all contribute to the risk that we will not be able to exit a private fund investment successfully. We cannot always control the timing of our private fund investment exits or our realizations upon exit. See "—Actions or conduct that have a negative impact on our investors' or stakeholders' perception of us could adversely impact our ability to attract and/or retain investor capital and generate fee revenue". If global economic conditions deteriorate, our investment performance could suffer, resulting in, for example, the payment of less or no carried interest to us. The payment of less or no carried interest to us could cause our cash flow from operations to decrease, which could materially adversely affect our liquidity position and the amount of cash we have on hand to conduct our operations. A reduction in our cash flow from our Fee-Bearing Capital strategies and products could, in turn, require us to rely on other sources of cash such as the capital markets, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or debt and other forms of leverage.
 In addition, in an economic downturn, there is an increased risk of default by counterparties to our investments and other transactions. In these circumstances, it is more likely that such transactions will fail or perform poorly, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
 Inflationary pressures could adversely impact our businesses.
 Our managed assets are impacted by inflationary pressures. While inflation has eased and central banks began reducing interest rates in the second half of 2024, past price increases continue to affect households and weigh on confidence and spending power. The potential for increased tariffs and trade barriers, as well as increased geopolitical risks, adds uncertainty to the long term outlook for inflation and interest rates and a reacceleration of inflation could trigger a reversal in recent interest rate decreases. Interest rate increases or other government actions taken to reduce inflation could also result in recessionary pressures in many parts of the world. Interest rate risk poses a significant market risk to us as a result of interest rate-sensitive assets and liabilities held by us and our managed assets. Higher interest rates or elevated interest rates for a sustained period could also result in an economic slowdown. Economic contraction or further deceleration in the rate of growth in certain industries, sectors or geographies may contribute to poor financial results at our managed assets. While regulated and contractual arrangements in our managed assets can provide significant protection against inflationary pressures, any sustained upward trajectory in the inflation rate may still have an impact on our managed assets and our investors, and could impact our ability to source suitable investment opportunities, match or exceed prior investment strategy performance and secure attractive debt financing, all of which could adversely impact our managed assets and our growth and capital recycling initiatives.

 Catastrophic events (or combination of events), such as earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, wildfires, pandemics/epidemics, climate change, military conflict/war or terrorism/sabotage, could adversely impact our financial performance.
 Our managed assets could be exposed to effects of catastrophic events, such as severe weather conditions, natural disasters, major accidents, pandemics/epidemics, acts of malicious destruction, climate change, war/military conflict or terrorism, which could materially adversely impact our operations.
 A local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, which spreads across the globe at a rapid pace impacting global commercial activity and travel, or future public health crises, epidemics or pandemics, could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition due to disruptions to commerce, reduced economic activity and other unforeseen consequences that are beyond our control.
 Natural disasters and ongoing changes to the physical climate in which we and our managed assets operate may have an adverse impact on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Changes in weather patterns or extreme weather (such as floods, wildfires, droughts, hurricanes and other storms) may negatively affect our managed assets' operations or damage assets that we may own or develop. Further, rising sea levels could, in the future, affect the value of any low-lying coastal real assets that we may manage. Climate change may increase the frequency and severity of severe weather conditions and may change existing weather patterns in ways that are difficult to anticipate. Responses to these changes could result in higher costs, such as the imposition of new property taxes and increases in insurance rates or additional capital expenditures.
 Our managed assets forming part of our commercial office strategy are concentrated in large metropolitan areas, some of which have been or may be perceived to be threatened by terrorist attacks or acts of war. Furthermore, many of such properties consist of high rise buildings that may also be subject to this actual or perceived threat. The perceived threat of a terrorist attack or outbreak of war could negatively impact our ability to lease office space in our managed real estate portfolio. Renewable power and infrastructure assets that we manage, such as roads, railways, power generation facilities and ports, may also be targeted by terrorist organizations or in acts of war. Any damage or business interruption costs as a result of uninsured or underinsured acts of terrorism or war could result in a material cost to us and could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operation. Adequate terrorism insurance may not be available at rates we believe to be reasonable in the future. These risks could be heightened by foreign policy decisions of the U.S. (where we have significant operations) and other influential countries or general geopolitical conditions.
 Additionally, our managed assets rely on free movement of goods, services and capital from around the globe. Any slowdown in international investment, business or trade as a result of catastrophic events could also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 Ineffective management of environmental and sustainability issues, including climate change, and inadequate or ineffective health and safety programs could damage our reputation, adversely impact our financial performance and lead to regulatory action.
 There is increasing stakeholder interest in sustainability considerations and how they are managed. Sustainability considerations include climate change, human capital and labor management, corporate governance, diversity and privacy and data security, among others. Increasingly, investors and lenders are incorporating sustainability considerations into their investment or lending process, respectively, alongside traditional financial considerations. Investors or potential investors may not invest in all our products given certain industries in which we operate. If we are unable to successfully integrate sustainability considerations into our practices, we may incur a higher cost of capital, lower interest in our debt securities and/or equity securities or otherwise face a negative impact on our business, operating results and cash flows and result in reputational damage.
 Certain of our managed assets may be subject to compliance with laws, regulations, regulatory rules and/or guidance relating to sustainability, and any failure to comply with these laws, regulations, regulatory rules or guidance could expose us to material adverse consequences, including loss, limitations on our ability to undertake licensable business, legal liabilities, financial and non-financial sanctions and penalties, and/or reputational damage. Sustainability requirements imposed by jurisdictions in which we do business, such as the E.U. Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (2019/2088), could (a) result in additional compliance costs, disclosure obligations or other implications or restrictions; and/or (b) impact our established business practices, cost base and, by extension, our profitability.
 Sustainability-related requirements and market practices differ by region, industry and issue and are evolving dynamically, and the sustainability requirements applicable to us, our managed assets or our assessment of such requirements or practices may change over time. Under emerging sustainability requirements, we may be required to classify our businesses against, or determine the alignment of underlying investments under, Sustainability-related legislative and regulatory criteria and taxonomies, some of which can be open to subjective interpretation. Our view on the appropriate classifications may develop over time, including in response to statutory or regulatory guidance or changes in industry approach to classification. A change to the relevant classification may require further actions to be taken, for example it may require further disclosures, or it may require new processes to be set up to capture data, which may lead to additional cost, disclosure obligations or other implications or restrictions.

 The transition to a lower-carbon economy has the potential to be disruptive to traditional business models and investment strategies. Efforts to limit global warming may give rise to changes in regulations, reporting and consumer sentiment that could have a negative impact on our existing operations by increasing the costs of operating our business or reducing demand for our products and services. The adverse effects of climate change and related regulation at state, provincial, federal or international levels could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 The ownership and operation of some of our managed assets carry varying degrees of inherent risk or liability related to worker health and safety and the environment, including the risk of government-imposed orders to remedy unsafe conditions and contaminated lands and potential civil liability. Compliance with health, safety and environmental standards and the requirements set out in the relevant licenses, permits and other approvals obtained by the managed assets is crucial.
 Our managed assets have incurred and will continue to incur significant capital and operating expenditures to comply with sustainability requirements, including health and safety standards, to obtain and comply with licenses, permits and other approvals, and to assess and manage potential liability exposure. Nevertheless, they may be unsuccessful in obtaining or maintaining an important license, permit or other approval or become subject to government orders, investigations, inquiries or other proceedings (including civil claims) relating to health, safety and environmental matters, any of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
 Health, safety and environmental laws and regulations can change rapidly and significantly, and we and/or our managed assets may become subject to more stringent laws and regulations in the future. The occurrence of any adverse health, safety or environmental event, or any changes, additions to, or more rigorous enforcement of, health, safety and environmental standards, licenses, permits or other approvals could have a significant impact on operations and/or result in material expenditures.
 Owners and operators of real assets may become liable for the costs of removal and remediation of certain hazardous substances released or deposited on or in their properties, or at other locations regardless of whether the owner and operator caused the release or deposit of such hazardous materials. These costs could be significant and could reduce cash available for our managed assets. The failure to remove or remediate such substances, if any, could adversely affect our ability to sell our assets or to borrow using these assets as collateral, and could potentially result in claims or other proceedings.
 Certain of our managed assets are involved in using, handling or transporting substances that are toxic, combustible or otherwise hazardous to the environment and may be in close proximity to environmentally sensitive areas or densely populated communities. If a leak, spill or other environmental incident occurred, it could result in substantial fines or penalties being imposed by regulatory authorities, revocation of licenses or permits required to operate the business, the imposition of more stringent conditions in those licenses or permits or legal claims for compensation (including punitive damages) by affected stakeholders.
 Global sustainability challenges, such as greenhouse gas emissions, privacy and data security, demographic shifts and regulatory pressures are introducing new risk factors for us that we may not have dealt with previously. We are also engaged with various sustainability frameworks and organizations through which we have stated certain ambitions and commitments regarding sustainability best practices. If we are unable to successfully manage our sustainability compliance, this could have a negative impact on our reputation and our ability to raise capital and could be detrimental to our economic value and the value of our managed assets.
 Failure to maintain the security of our information and technology systems could have a material adverse effect on us.
 We rely on the use of technology and information systems, many of which are controlled by third-party service providers, which may not be able to accommodate our growth or may increase in cost and may become subject to cyber-terrorism or other compromises and shut-downs, and any failures or interruptions of these systems could adversely affect our businesses and results of operations.
 We and our managed assets operate in businesses that are dependent on information systems and other technology, such as computer systems used for information storage, processing, administrative and commercial functions as well as the machinery and other equipment used in certain parts of our operations. In addition, our managed assets rely on telecommunication services to interface with their business networks and customers. The information and embedded systems of key business partners and regulatory agencies are also important to our operations. We rely on this technology functioning as intended. Our information systems and technology may not continue to be able to accommodate our growth, and the cost of maintaining such systems may increase from its current level. Such a failure to accommodate growth, or an increase in costs related to such information systems, could have a material adverse effect on us.
 We rely heavily on certain financial, accounting, communications and other data processing systems. We collect, store and use large amounts of sensitive information, including personally identifiable information, through our information technology systems. Our information technology systems face ongoing cybersecurity and cyber-terrorism threats and attacks, which could result in the failure of such infrastructure. We may in the future be subject to cyber-terrorism or other cybersecurity risks or other breaches of information technology security, noting the increasing frequency, sophistication and severity of these kinds of incidents. In particular, our information technology systems may be subject to cyber-terrorism intended to obtain unauthorized access to our proprietary information, personally identifiable information or to client or third-party data stored on our systems, destroy or disable our data, and/or that of our business partners, disclose confidential data in breach of data privacy legislation, destroy data or disable, degrade or

 sabotage our systems, through the introduction of computer viruses, cyber-attacks and other means. Such attacks could originate from a wide variety of sources, including internal actors or unknown third parties. Further, unauthorized parties may also gain physical access to our facilities and infiltrate our information systems or attempt to gain access to information and data. The sophistication of these threats continue to evolve and grow, including the risk associated with the use of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing, for nefarious purposes. We cannot predict what effects such cyber-attacks or compromises or shut-downs may have on our business and on the privacy of the individuals or entities affected, and the consequences could be material. Cyber incidents may remain undetected for an extended period, which could exacerbate these consequences. The costs to eliminate or address the foregoing security threats and vulnerabilities before or after a cyber-incident could be material. A significant actual or potential theft, loss, corruption, exposure, fraudulent, unauthorized or accidental use or misuse of investor, policyholder, employee or other personally identifiable or proprietary business data, whether by third parties or as a result of employee malfeasance or otherwise, non-compliance with our contractual or other legal obligations regarding such data or intellectual property or a violation of our privacy and security policies with respect to such data could result in significant remediation and other costs, fines, litigation and regulatory actions against us by governments, various regulatory organizations or exchanges, or affected individuals, in addition to significant reputational harm and/or financial loss, and it may not be possible to recover losses suffered from such incidents under our insurance policies.
 In addition, our operating equipment may not continue to perform as it has in the past, and there is a risk of equipment failure due to wear and tear, latent defect, design or operator errors or early obsolescence, among other things.
 A breach of our cybersecurity measures or the failure or malfunction of any of our computerized business systems, associated backup or data storage systems could cause us to suffer a disruption in one or more parts of our business and experience, among other things, financial loss, reputational damage, a loss of business opportunities, misappropriation or unauthorized release of confidential or personal information, damage to our systems and those with whom we do business, violation of privacy and other laws, litigation, regulatory penalties and remediation and restoration costs as well as increased costs to maintain our systems.
 We are reliant on third party service providers for certain aspects of our business, including for the administration of certain funds we manage, as well as for certain information systems and technology platforms, trustee services, legal services, technology, administration, tax, accounting and compliance matters. A disaster, disruption or compromise in technology or infrastructure that supports our managed assets, including a disruption involving electronic communications or other services used by us, our vendors or third parties with whom we conduct business, may have an adverse impact on our ability to continue to manage our assets without interruption which could have a material adverse effect on us. These risks could increase as vendors increasingly offer cloud-based software services rather than software services that can be operated within our own data centers. These risks also increase to the extent we engage with vendors and third-party services providers in jurisdictions with which we are not familiar. In addition to the fact that these third-party service providers could also face ongoing cybersecurity threats and compromises of their systems, we generally have less control over the delivery of such third-party services, and as a result, we may face disruptions to our ability to manage an asset as a result of interruptions of such services. A prolonged global failure of cloud services provided by a variety of cloud services providers that we engage could result in cascading systems failures for us. Although we are continuing to develop measures to ensure the integrity of our systems, we can provide no assurance that our efforts or those of third-party service providers will be successful in protecting our systems and preventing or ameliorating damage from a cyber incident.
 Data protection and privacy rules have become a focus for regulators globally. For instance, the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") sets out data protection rules for individuals that are residents of the E.U. The GDPR imposes stringent rules and penalties for non- compliance. Other countries where we operate are enacting or amending data protection, artificial intelligence and other technology laws to empower regulators to impose financial penalties and injunctions on certain data processing activities, which could have an adverse effect on our business.
 We and our managed assets may become involved in legal disputes in the U.S. and internationally that could adversely impact our financial performance and reputation.
 In the normal course of our and our managed assets' businesses, we become involved in various legal actions, including claims relating to personal injury, property damage, property taxes, land rights and contract and other commercial disputes. The investment decisions we make and the activities of our investment professionals on behalf of our managed assets may subject us and our managed assets to the risk of third-party litigation. Further, we have significant operations in the U.S. which may, as a result of the prevalence of litigation in the U.S., be more susceptible to legal action than certain of our other competitors.
 The final outcome with respect to outstanding, pending or future litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and the resolution of such actions may have an adverse effect on our financial position or results of our operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year. Any litigation may consume substantial amounts of our management's time and attention, and that time and the devotion of these resources to litigation may, at times, be disproportionate to the amounts at stake in the litigation. Even if ultimately unsuccessful against us, any litigation has the potential to adversely affect our business, including by damaging our reputation.

 Losses not covered by insurance may be large, which could adversely impact the assets under management.
 We and our managed assets carry various insurance policies in relation to our respective business activities. These policies contain policy specifications, limits and deductibles that may mean that such policies do not provide coverage or sufficient coverage against all potential material losses. We or those also part of the group policy may also self-insure a portion of certain of these risks, and therefore we may not be able to recover from a third-party insurer in the event that we, if we had separate insurance coverage from a third party, could make a claim for recovery. There are certain types of risk (generally of a catastrophic nature such as war or environmental contamination) that are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Further, there are certain types of risk for which insurance coverage is not equal to the full replacement cost of the insured assets.
 Should any uninsured or underinsured loss occur, we could lose our anticipated profits and cash flows from one or more of our assets under management.
 We also carry directors' and officers' liability insurance ("D&O insurance") for losses or advancement of defense costs in the event a legal action is brought against our directors, officers or employees for alleged wrongful acts in their capacity as directors, officers or employees. Our D&O insurance contains certain customary exclusions that may make it unavailable for us in the event it is needed; and in any case our D&O insurance may not be adequate to fully protect us against liability for the conduct of our directors, officers or employees. We may also self-insure a portion of our D&O insurance, and therefore we may not be able to recover from a third-party insurer in the event that we, if we had D&O insurance from a third-party insurer, could make a claim for recovery.
 For economic efficiency and other reasons, we may enter into insurance policies as a group (which may include BN) that are intended to provide coverage for the entire group. Where group policies are in place, any payments under such policy could have a negative impact on other entities covered under the policy as they may not be able to access adequate insurance in the event it is needed. While management attempts to design coverage limits under group policies to ensure that all entities covered under a policy have access to sufficient insurance coverage, there are no guarantees that these efforts will be effective in obtaining this result.
 Inability to collect amounts owing to us could adversely impact financial performance.
 Third parties may not fulfill their payment obligations to us, which could include money, securities or other assets, thereby impacting our operations and financial results. These parties include deal and trading counterparties, governmental agencies, customers and financial intermediaries. Third parties may default on their obligations to us due to bankruptcy, lack of liquidity, operational failure, general economic conditions or other reasons.
 We manage assets that loan money to distressed companies, either privately or via an investment in publicly traded debt securities. As a result, we actively take heightened credit risk in other entities from time to time and whether we realize satisfactory investment returns on these loans is uncertain and may be beyond our control. If some of these debt investments fail, our financial performance could be negatively impacted.
 Investors in our private funds, including BN and its affiliates, make capital commitments to these vehicles through the execution of subscription agreements. When a private fund makes an investment, these capital commitments are then satisfied by our investors via capital contributions. Investors in our private funds may default on their capital commitment obligations, which could have an adverse impact on our earnings or result in other negative implications to our business and our managed assets, such as the requirement to redeploy our own capital to cover such obligations. This impact would be magnified if the investor that does so is in multiple funds.
 We are subject to operating and financial restrictions through covenants in our loan, debt and security agreements.
 BAM and its subsidiaries are subject to operating and financial restrictions through covenants in our loan, debt and security agreements. These restrictions may prohibit or limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional debt, provide guarantees for indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, liquidate, dissolve, amalgamate, consolidate or effect corporate or capital reorganizations, declare distributions, issue equity interests and create subsidiaries. A financial covenant in our corporate bank credit facilities may limit our overall indebtedness to a percentage of distributable earnings, a restriction which may limit our ability to obtain additional financing, withstand downturns in our business and take advantage of business and development opportunities. If we breach our covenants, our credit facilities may be terminated or come due and such an event may cause our credit rating to deteriorate and subject BAM to higher interest and financing costs. From time to time, we also acquire businesses and assets that have debt obligations that are in default. We may also be required to seek additional debt financing on terms that include more restrictive covenants and/or higher interest rates, change of control restrictions, require repayment on an accelerated schedule or impose other obligations that limit our ability to grow our business, acquire needed assets, exit investments in assets or portfolio companies, or take other actions that we might otherwise consider appropriate or desirable.
 The material assets of BAM consist solely of its interest in the common shares of the Asset Management Company.
 The material assets of BAM consist solely of its interest in the common shares of the Asset Management Company. After giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement, BAM owns 100% of the Asset Management Company.

 BAM depends on distributions and other payments from our asset management business to provide it with the funds necessary to meet its financial obligations, as well as pay dividends to shareholders. BAM intends to pay dividends to shareholders on a quarterly basis equal to approximately 90% of its Distributable Earnings in the preceding quarter and our asset management business intends to pay dividends to BAM on a quarterly basis sufficient to ensure that BAM can pay its intended dividend. Dividends will be variable and will change in line with the growth of Distributable Earnings. The declaration and payment of any dividends will be at the discretion of the Board (and the board of the Asset Management Company), and may change at any time, including, without limitation, to reduce such quarterly dividends or to eliminate such dividends entirely.
 Our asset management business and our managed assets are legally distinct from BAM and some of them are or may become restricted in their ability to pay dividends and distributions or otherwise make funds available to BAM pursuant to local law, regulatory requirements and their contractual agreements, including agreements governing their financing arrangements. Our asset management business and our managed assets will generally be required to service their debt and other obligations before making distributions to BAM.
 BAM is solely liable for the debts and liabilities of the asset management business.
 The Asset Management Company is an unlimited liability company and certain of its subsidiaries are also unlimited liability companies. As a result, after giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement whereby BAM acquired 100% of the Asset Management Company, it became liable for the payment of the debts and liabilities of the Asset Management Company on a liquidation or dissolution. If BAM has assets other than its interest in the asset management business, and if the assets of the asset management business are not sufficient to cover its debts and liabilities (including those arising as a result of its obligations towards its unlimited liability company subsidiaries), then BAM would be required to contribute its assets to the Asset Management Company, further reducing the assets of BAM available to its shareholders.

 Risks Relating to our Investment Activities
 Actions or conduct that have a negative impact on our investors' or stakeholders' perception of us could adversely impact our ability to attract and/or retain investor capital and generate fee revenue.
 The growth of our business relies on continuous fundraising for various private and public investment products, and retention of capital raised from third-party investors. We depend on our business relationships and our global reputation for integrity and high-caliber asset management services to attract and retain investors and advisory clients, and to pursue investment opportunities for our clients. Our business relationships and reputation could be negatively impacted by a number of factors, including: poor performance; actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest that are not adequately addressed; misconduct or alleged misconduct by employees; rumors or innuendos; or failed or ineffective implementation of new investments or strategies. If we are unable to continue to raise and retain capital from third-party investors, including from BN, either privately, publicly or both, or otherwise are unable to pursue our investment opportunities, this could materially reduce our revenue and cash flows and adversely affect our financial condition.
 Poor performance of any kind could damage our reputation with current and potential investors in our managed assets, making it more difficult for us to raise new capital. Investors may decline to invest in current and future managed assets and may withdraw their investments from our managed assets as a result of poor performance in the entity in which they are invested, and investors in our private funds may demand lower fees for new or existing funds, all of which would decrease our revenue.
 As a global alternative asset manager with various lines of business and investment products, some of which have overlapping mandates, we may be subject to a number of actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest.
 In addressing these conflicts, we have implemented a variety of policies and procedures; however, there can be no assurances that these will be effective at mitigating actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest in all circumstances, or will not reduce the positive synergies that we seek to cultivate. It is also possible that actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest, if not properly addressed, could give rise to investor dissatisfaction, litigation, regulatory enforcement actions or other detrimental outcomes. See "Risks Relating to BAM — Our organizational and ownership structure may create conflicts of interest that may be resolved in a manner that is not in our best interests or the best interests of our shareholders".
 Appropriately dealing with conflicts of interest for an asset manager like us is a priority and our reputation could be damaged if we fail, or appear to fail, to deal appropriately with actual, potential or perceived conflicts of interest. Asset manager conflicts are subject to enhanced regulatory scrutiny in the markets in which we operate and in the U.S. in particular. Such regulatory scrutiny can lead to fines, penalties and other negative consequences. Regulatory scrutiny of, or litigation in connection with, conflicts of interest could have a material adverse effect on our reputation, business, financial condition or results of operations in a number of ways, including an inability to adequately capitalize existing managed assets or raise new managed assets, including private funds, and a reluctance of counterparties to do business with us. For information regarding conflicts of interests between the businesses within our asset management operations that operate on opposite sides of an information barrier, see "—Information barriers may give rise to certain conflicts and risks and investment teams managing the activities of businesses that operate on opposite sides of an information barrier will not be aware of, and will not have the ability to manage, such conflicts and risks" herein.

 Our reputation could also be negatively impacted if there is misconduct or alleged misconduct by our personnel or those of our managed assets, including historical misconduct prior to the investment in such managed asset. Risks associated with misconduct at our managed assets is heightened in cases where we do not have legal control or significant influence over a particular managed asset or are not otherwise involved in actively managing an investment. In such situations, given our management position and affiliation with the managed asset, we may still be negatively impacted from a reputational perspective through this association. In addition, even where we have management over an asset, if it is a newly acquired asset that we are in the process of integrating then we may face reputational risks related to historical or current misconduct or alleged misconduct at such managed asset for a period of time. We may also face an increased risk of misconduct to the extent investments in operating assets in emerging markets and distressed companies increases. If we face allegations of improper conduct by private litigants or regulators, whether the allegations are valid or invalid or whether the ultimate outcome is favorable or unfavorable to us, such allegations may result in negative publicity and press speculation about us, our investment activities or the asset management industry in general, which could harm our reputation and may be more damaging to our business than to other types of businesses.
 We are subject to a number of obligations and standards arising from our business and our authority over the assets we manage. The violation of these obligations and standards by any of our employees may adversely affect our partners and our business and reputation. Our business often requires that we deal with confidential matters. If our employees were to improperly use or disclose confidential information, or a security breach results in an inadvertent disclosure of such information, we could suffer serious harm to our reputation, financial position and current and future business relationships. It is not always possible to detect or deter employee misconduct or security breaches, and the precautions we take in this regard may not be effective.
 Implementation of new investment and growth strategies involves a number of risks that could result in losses and harm to our professional reputation, including the risk that the expected results are not achieved, that new strategies are not appropriately planned for or integrated, that new strategies may conflict with, detract from or compete against our managed assets, and that the investment process, controls and procedures that we have developed will prove insufficient or inadequate. Furthermore, our strategic initiatives may include joint ventures, in which case we will be subject to additional risks and uncertainties in that we may be dependent upon and subject to liability, losses or reputational damage relating to systems, controls and personnel that are not under our complete control or under the control of another.
 In addition to impacting our ability to raise and retain third-party capital and pursue investment opportunities, certain of the risks identified herein that may have a negative impact on our reputation also could, in extreme cases, result in our removal as general partner or an acceleration of the liquidation date of the private funds that we manage. The governing agreements of our private funds provide that, subject to certain conditions (which may, particularly in the case of our removal as general partner, include final legal adjudications of the merits of the particular issue), third-party investors in these funds will have the right to remove us as general partner or to accelerate the liquidation date of the fund. Additionally, at any time, investors may seek to terminate a fund and accelerate the liquidation date upon the vote of a super-majority of investors in such fund. A significant negative impact to our reputation would be expected to increase the likelihood that investors could seek to terminate a private fund. This effect would be magnified if, as is often the case, an investor is invested in more than one fund. Such an event, were it to occur, would result in a reduction in the fees we would earn from such fund, particularly if we are unable to maximize the value of the fund's investments during the liquidation process or in the event of the triggering of a "clawback" for fees already paid out to us as general partner.
 We face risks specific to our renewable power and transition strategies.
 Our renewable power and transition strategies invest in assets that are subject to changes in the weather, hydrology and price, but also include risks related to equipment or dam failure, counterparty performance, water rental costs, land rental costs, changes in regulatory requirements and other material disruptions.
 The revenues generated by the power facilities we manage are correlated to the amount of electricity generated, which in turn is dependent upon available water flows, wind, irradiance and other elements beyond our control. Hydrology, wind and irradiance levels vary naturally from year to year and may also change permanently because of climate change or other factors. It is therefore possible that low water, wind and irradiance levels at certain of our power generating operations could occur at any time and potentially continue for indefinite periods.
 A portion of the renewable power and transition revenue is tied, either directly or indirectly, to the wholesale market price for electricity, which is impacted by a number of external factors beyond our control. Additionally, a portion of the power that is generated is sold under long-term power purchase agreements, shorter-term financial instruments and physical electricity contracts which are intended to mitigate the impact of fluctuations in wholesale electricity prices; however, they may not be effective in achieving this outcome. Certain of the power purchase agreements of our managed assets will be subject to re-contracting in the future. If the price of electricity in power markets is declining at the time of such re-contracting, it may impact our ability to re-negotiate or replace these contracts on terms that are acceptable to us. Conversely, what appears to be an attractive price at the time of re-contracting could, if power prices rise over the power purchase agreement's term, result in us having committed to sell power in the future at below market rate. If we are unable to re-negotiate or replace these contracts, or unable to secure prices at least equal to the current prices we receive, our business, financial condition, results of operation and prospects could be adversely affected.

 In our renewable power and transition portfolio, there is a risk of equipment failure due to severe weather conditions (including as a result of climate change), wear and tear, latent defect, design error or operator error, among other things. The occurrence of such failures could result in a loss of generating capacity and repairing such failures could require the expenditure of significant capital and other resources. Failures could also result in exposure to significant liability for damages due to harm to the environment, to the public generally or to specific third parties. Equipment that our renewable power and transition operations need, including spare parts and components required for project development, may become unavailable or difficult to procure, inhibiting our ability to maintain full availability of existing plants and also our ability to complete development projects on scope, schedule and budget.
 In certain cases, some catastrophic events may not excuse us from performing our obligations pursuant to agreements with third parties and we may be liable for damages or suffer further losses as a result.
 Our renewable power and transition portfolio is exposed to performance and operational risks in respect of certain nuclear technologies. The nuclear fuel and power industries are heavily regulated and could be significantly impacted by changes in government policies and priorities such as increased regulation and/or more onerous operating requirements that negatively impact our nuclear technology services. A future accident at a nuclear reactor could result in the shutdown of existing plants or impact the continued acceptance by the public and regulatory authorities of nuclear energy and the future prospects for nuclear generators. Accidents, terrorism, natural disasters or other incidents occurring at nuclear facilities or involving shipments of nuclear materials could reduce the demand for nuclear technology services.
 The ability of the platforms we manage to develop greenfield renewable power projects in our development pipeline may be affected by a number of factors, including the state of capital markets, the ability to secure project financing (including from equity investors and through tax and other government incentives), the ability to secure approvals, licenses and permits and the ability to secure a long-term power purchase agreement or other sales contracts on reasonable terms. The development of our pipeline of greenfield renewable power projects is also subject to environmental, engineering and construction risks that could result in cost-overruns, delays and reduced performance.
 New regulatory initiatives related to sustainability could adversely impact our managed assets. While we believe that regulatory initiatives and market trends towards an increased focus on sustainability are generally beneficial to our renewable power and transition group, any such regulatory initiatives also have the potential to adversely impact us. For example, regulatory initiatives seeking to reorient investment toward sustainability by regulating green financial products could have the effect of increasing burdensome disclosure requirements around sustainability and prescribing approaches to sustainability policies that are inconsistent with our current practices. If regulators disagree with the sustainability disclosures that we make, or with the categorization of our financial products, we may face regulatory enforcement action, and our business or reputation could be adversely affected.
 We face risks specific to our infrastructure strategies.
 Our infrastructure managed assets include utilities, transport, midstream and data businesses.
 Our infrastructure assets include toll roads, telecommunication towers, electricity transmission systems, terminal operations, electricity and gas distribution companies, residential infrastructure, rail networks, ports and data centers. The principal risks facing the regulated and unregulated businesses comprising our infrastructure assets relate to government regulation, general economic conditions and other material disruptions, counterparty performance and capital expenditure requirements.
 Many of the infrastructure assets we manage are subject to government regulation, including with respect to revenues and environmental sustainability. If any of the respective regulators in the jurisdictions in which we operate decides to change the tolls or rates we are allowed to charge or the amounts of the provisions we are allowed to collect, we may not be able to earn the rate of return on our investments that we had planned, or we may not be able to recover our initial cost.
 With environmental regulation becoming more stringent, our managed assets may become subject to increasing environmental responsibility and liability. These regulations may result in increased costs to our managed assets that may not be able to be passed onto their customers and may have an adverse impact on prospects for growth of some businesses.
 General economic conditions (including those resulting from climate change and severe weather conditions) affect international demand for the commodities handled and services provided by operators in our infrastructure managed assets. A downturn in the economy generally or specific to any of our infrastructure managed assets, may lead to a reduction in volumes, disruption to business, bankruptcies or liquidations of one or more large customers, which could reduce our revenues, increase our bad debt expense, reduce our ability to make capital expenditures or have other adverse effects on us.
 Some of our managed assets have customer contracts as well as concession agreements in place with public and private sector clients. Our managed assets with customer contracts could be adversely affected by any material change in the assets, financial condition or results of operations of such customers. Protecting the quality of our revenue streams through the inclusion of take-or-pay or guaranteed minimum volume provisions into our contracts is not always possible or fully effective.

 Some of our managed assets may require substantial capital expenditures to maintain their asset base. Any failure to make necessary expenditures to maintain their operations could impair their ability to serve existing customers or accommodate increased volumes. In addition, we may not be able to recover investments in capital expenditures based upon the rates our operations are able to charge.
 We face risks specific to our private equity strategies.
 The principal risks for our private equity managed assets are potential loss of invested capital as well as insufficient investment or fee income to cover operating expenses and cost of capital. Our private equity platform is invested in industrial operations, business services operations and infrastructure services operations, many of which can be cyclical and/or illiquid and therefore may be difficult to monetize at our discretion, limiting our flexibility to react to changing economic or investment conditions. In addition, increasingly we have certain managed assets that provide goods and services directly to consumers across a variety of industries. These businesses are prone to greater liabilities, as well as reputational, litigation and other risks by virtue of being more public-facing and reliant on their ability to develop and preserve consumer relationships and achieve consumer satisfaction.
 Unfavorable economic conditions could negatively impact the ability of our managed assets to repay debt. Adverse economic conditions facing our managed assets may adversely impact the value of our investments or deplete our financial or management resources. These investments are also subject to the risks inherent in the underlying businesses, some of which are facing difficult business conditions and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future. These risks are compounded by recent growth, as new acquisitions have increased the scale and scope of our operations, including in new geographic areas and industry sectors, and we may have difficulty managing these additional operations.
 We may deploy our client's capital in managed assets that are experiencing significant financial or business difficulties, including companies involved in work-outs, liquidations, spin-outs, reorganizations, bankruptcies and similar transactions. Such an investment entails the risk that the transaction will be unsuccessful, will take considerable time or will result in a distribution of cash or new securities, the value of which may be less than the purchase price of the securities in respect of which such distribution is received. In addition, if an anticipated transaction does not occur, we may be required to sell our investment at a loss. These managed assets may become subject to legal and/or regulatory proceedings and our investment may be adversely affected by external events beyond our control, leading to legal, indemnification or other expenses.
 We have several managed assets that operate in the highly competitive service industry. A wide variety of micro and macroeconomic factors affecting our clients and over which we have no control can impact how these companies operate. For example, our Canadian residential mortgage insurer is subject to significant regulation and may be adversely affected by changes in government policy. The majority of the revenue from our healthcare services operation is derived from private health insurance funds, which may be affected by a deterioration in the economic climate, a change in economic incentives, increases in private health insurance premiums and other factors. In addition, alternative technologies in the health care industry could impact the demand for, or use of, our services and could impair or eliminate the competitive advantage of our businesses in this industry.
 Our infrastructure services operations include companies in lottery services, marine transportation and work access services. Our lottery services operation is heavily dependent on long-term contracts and failure to win, maintain and renew these contracts could substantially impact revenue. Our lottery services operation also often requires entering into strategic relationships with third parties, including competitors, which we do not control, and which may have inconsistent business interests or goals from us. Marine transportation and oil production are inherently risky, particularly in the extreme conditions in which many of our vessels operate. An incident involving significant loss of product or environmental contamination by any of our vessels could harm our reputation and business. Our work access services business is subject to the risks inherent to construction operations, including risks relating to seasonal fluctuations in the demand for our services, a dependence on labor and performance being materially impacted by a lack of availability of labor force or increases in the cost of labor available, and operational hazards that could result in personal injury or death, work stoppage or serious property and equipment damage.
 We face risks specific to our real estate strategies.
 Our real estate strategies invest in commercial properties and are therefore exposed to certain risks inherent in the commercial real estate business. Commercial real estate investments are subject to varying degrees of risk depending on the nature of the property. These risks include changes in general economic conditions (such as the availability and cost of mortgage capital), local conditions (such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the markets in which we operate), the attractiveness of the properties to tenants, competition from other landlords and our ability to provide adequate maintenance at an economical cost.
 Certain expenditures, including property taxes, maintenance costs, mortgage payments, insurance costs and related charges, must be made whether or not a property is producing sufficient income to service these expenses. These commercial properties are typically subject to mortgages that require debt service payments. If we become unable or unwilling to meet mortgage payments on any property, losses could be sustained as a result of the mortgagee's exercise of its rights of foreclosure or of sale.
 Continuation of rental income is dependent on favorable leasing markets to ensure expiring leases are renewed and new tenants are found promptly to fill vacancies. It is possible that we may face a disproportionate amount of space expiring in any one year.

 Additionally, rental rates could decline, tenant bankruptcies could increase, and tenant renewals may not be achieved, particularly in the event of an economic slowdown.
 Our real estate strategies invest in businesses that operate in industries or geographies that may be impacted by a local, regional, national or international outbreak of a contagious disease. Adverse impacts on our managed assets may also include:
 • a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action and climate change events including hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural and man-made disasters;
 • a slowdown in business activity may severely impact our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to fund their business operations, meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;
 • an increase in re-leasing timelines, potential delays in lease-up of vacant space and the market rates at which such lease will be executed;
 • reduced economic activity could result in a prolonged recession, which could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending; and
 • expected completion dates for our development and redevelopment projects may be subject to delay as a result of the disruption of local economic conditions.
 The retail real estate assets in our managed assets are susceptible to any economic factors that have a negative impact on consumer spending. Lower consumer spending would have an unfavorable effect on the sales of our retail tenants, which could result in their inability or unwillingness to make all payments owing to us, and on our ability to keep existing tenants and attract new tenants. Significant expenditures associated with each equity investment in real estate assets, such as mortgage payments, property taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when there is a reduction in income from the investment, so our income and cash flow would be adversely affected by a decline in income from our retail properties. In addition, low occupancy or sales at our retail properties, as a result of competition or otherwise, could result in termination of or reduced rent payable under certain of our retail leases, which could adversely affect our retail property revenues.
 The hospitality and multifamily assets in our managed assets are subject to a range of operating risks common to these industries, many of which are outside our control, and the profitability of our investments in these industries may be adversely affected by these factors. For example, our hospitality business faces risks relating to climate change; hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural and man-made disasters; the potential spread of contagious diseases; and insect infestations more common to rental accommodations. Such factors could limit or reduce the demand for or the prices our hospitality properties are able to obtain for their accommodations or could increase our costs and therefore reduce the profitability of our hospitality businesses. There are numerous housing alternatives that compete with our multifamily properties, including other multifamily properties as well as condominiums and single-family homes. This competitive environment could have a material adverse effect on our ability to lease apartment homes at our present properties or any newly developed or acquired real estate, as well as on the rents realized.
 We face risks specific to our credit strategies.
 Our credit strategies offer a broad range of strategies to our investors. Similar to our other private funds managed across different strategies, we earn base management fees on our credit strategies and, in certain cases, carried interest on fund capital and separate accounts in our credit strategies. Cyclicality is important to credit strategies and weak economic environments have tended to afford some of the best investment opportunities and relative investment performance to such strategies. Any prolonged economic expansion or recession could have an adverse impact on certain credit strategies and materially affect the ability to deliver attractive investment returns for clients or generate incentive or other income in respect of those strategies.
 Growth in Fee-Bearing Capital could be adversely impacted by poor product development or marketing efforts. In addition, investment returns could be lower than target returns due to inappropriate allocation of capital or ineffective investment management.
 Our business depends on our ability to fundraise third-party capital, deploy that capital effectively and produce targeted investment returns.
 Our ability to raise third-party capital depends on a number of factors, including many that are outside our control such as the general economic environment and market conditions (including the performance of the stock market), investment rules or policies to which third party investors are subject, and the number of other investment funds being raised at the same time by our competitors. Investors may reduce (or even eliminate) their investment allocations to alternative investments, including closed-ended private funds. Investors that are required to maintain specific asset class allocations within their portfolio may be required to reduce their investment allocations to alternative investments, particularly during periods when other asset classes, such as public securities, are decreasing in

 value. In addition, investors may prefer to insource and make direct investments; therefore, becoming competitors and ceasing to be clients and/or making new capital commitments.
 Our initiatives to expand our retail investor base, including outside of the U.S., require the investment of significant time, effort and resources, including the potential hiring of additional personnel, the implementation of new operational, compliance and other systems and processes and the development or implementation of new technology. There is no assurance that our efforts to grow our retail assets under management will be successful.
 Competition from other asset managers for raising public and private capital is intense, with competition based on a variety of factors, including investment performance, the quality of service provided to investors, the quality and availability of investment products, marketing efforts, investor liquidity and willingness to invest, and reputation. Poor investment performance could hamper our ability to compete for these sources of capital or force us to reduce our management fees. Our investors and potential investors continually assess investment performance and our ability to raise capital for existing and future funds depends on our funds' relative and absolute performance. If poor investment returns or changes in investment mandates prevent us from raising further capital from our existing partners, we may need to identify and attract new investors in order to maintain or increase the size of our private funds, and there are no assurances that we will be able to find new investors. Further, as competition and disintermediation in the asset management industry increase, we may face pressure to reduce or modify our asset management fees, including base management fees and/or carried interest, or modify other terms governing our current asset management fee structure, in order to attract and retain investors.
 The successful execution of our investing strategy is uncertain as it requires suitable opportunities, careful timing and business judgment, as well as the resources to complete asset purchases and restructure them, if required, notwithstanding difficulties experienced in a particular industry.
 There is no certainty that we will be able to identify suitable or sufficient opportunities that meet our investment criteria and be able to acquire additional high-quality assets at attractive prices to supplement our growth in a timely manner, or at all. In pursuing investment opportunities and returns, we and our managed assets face competition from other investment managers and investors worldwide. Each of our strategies is subject to competition in varying degrees and our competitors may have certain competitive advantages over us when pursuing investment opportunities. Some of our competitors may have higher risk tolerances, different risk assessments, lower return thresholds, a lower cost of capital, or a lower effective tax rate (or no tax rate at all), all of which could allow them to consider a wider variety of investments and to bid more aggressively than us for investments. We may lose investment opportunities in the future if we do not match investment prices, structures and terms offered by our competitors, some of whom may have synergistic businesses which allow them to consider bidding a higher price than we can reasonably offer. While we will continue to attempt to deal with competitive pressures by leveraging our asset management strengths and the operating capabilities of BN and compete on more than just price, there is no guarantee these measures will be successful, and we may have difficulty competing for investment opportunities, particularly those offered through auction or other competitive processes. If we are unable to successfully raise, retain and deploy third-party capital into investments, or make acquisitions which yield attractive returns, we may be unable to collect management fees, carried interest or transaction fees, which would materially reduce our revenue and cash flows and adversely affect our financial condition.
 Our approach to investing may entail adding assets to our existing managed assets through tuck-in acquisitions when the competition for assets is weakest; typically, when depressed economic conditions exist in the market relating to a particular entity or industry. Such an investing style carries with it inherent risks when investments are made in either markets or industries that are undergoing some form of dislocation. We may fail to value opportunities accurately or to consider all relevant factors that may be necessary or helpful in evaluating an opportunity, may underestimate the costs necessary to bring an acquisition up to standards established for its intended market position, may be exposed to unexpected risks and costs associated with these investments, including risks arising from alternative technologies that could impair or eliminate the competitive advantage of our managed assets in a particular industry, and/or may be unable to quickly and effectively integrate new acquisitions into existing operations or exit from the investment on favorable terms. In addition, liabilities may exist that we or our managed assets do not discover in due diligence prior to the consummation of an acquisition, or circumstances may exist with respect to the entities or assets acquired that could lead to future liabilities and, in each case, we or our managed assets may not be entitled to sufficient, or any, recourse against the contractual counterparties to an acquisition.
 We generally pursue investment opportunities that involve business, regulatory, legal and other complexities. Our tolerance for complexity presents risks, as completing complex transactions on behalf of our managed assets can be more difficult, expensive and time-consuming to finance and execute, and have a higher risk of execution failure. It can also be more difficult to manage or realize value from the assets acquired in such transactions and such transactions sometimes entail a higher level of regulatory scrutiny or a greater risk of contingent liabilities.
 At times, we make investments (for one or more of our funds or managed assets) in companies that we do not control. These investments are subject to the risk that the company in which the investment is made may make business, financial or management decisions with which we do not agree or that the majority stakeholders or the management of the company may take risks or otherwise act in a manner that does not serve our interests.

 Certain strategies may be concentrated in particular asset types or geographic regions, which could exacerbate any negative performance of one or more of our managed assets to the extent those concentrated investments are in assets or regions that experience market dislocation. In addition, certain of our funds hold publicly traded securities, the price of which will be volatile and are likely to fluctuate due to a number of factors beyond our control, including actual or anticipated changes in the profitability of the issuers of such securities; general economic, social, or political developments; changes in industry conditions; changes in governance regulation; inflation; the general state of the securities markets; pandemics/epidemics; and other material events.
 The failure of a newly acquired business to perform according to expectations could have a material adverse effect on our assets, liabilities, business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Alternatively, we may be required to sell a business before it has realized our expected level of returns for such business.
 If any of our managed investments perform poorly or experience prolonged periods of volatility, or we are unable to deploy capital effectively, our fee-based revenue, cash available for distribution and/or carried interest would decline. Accordingly, our expected returns on these investments may be less than we have assumed in forecasting the value of our business.
 Our cash flow must be available to meet our financial obligations when due and enable us to capitalize on investment opportunities when they arise.
 We employ debt and other forms of leverage in the ordinary course of business to enhance returns. We are therefore subject to the risks associated with debt financing (directly and indirectly through our managed assets) and refinancing, including but not limited to the following: (i) our cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; (ii) payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses and dividends; (iii) if we are unable to obtain committed debt financing for potential acquisitions or can only obtain debt at high interest rates or on other unfavorable terms, we may have difficulty completing acquisitions or may generate profits that are lower than would otherwise be the case; (iv) we may not be able to refinance indebtedness at maturity due to company and market factors such as the estimated cash flow produced by our assets, the value of our assets, liquidity in the debt markets and/or financial, competitive, business and other factors; and (v) if we are able to refinance our indebtedness, the terms of a refinancing may not be as favorable as the original terms for such indebtedness. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness on acceptable terms, or at all, we may need to utilize available liquidity, which would reduce our ability to pursue new investment opportunities, or we may need to dispose of one or more of our or our managed assets on disadvantageous terms, or raise equity, thereby causing dilution to existing shareholders. Regulatory changes or changes in economic or market conditions may also result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to credit.
 The terms of our various credit agreements and other financing documents may require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios, adequate insurance coverage and certain credit ratings. These covenants may limit our flexibility in conducting our business and our cash flows, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness, even if we have satisfied and continue to satisfy our payment obligations.
 A large proportion of our managed assets include physical assets and securities that can be hard to sell, especially if market conditions are poor. Further, because our investment strategy can entail our having representation on public company boards, we may be restricted in our ability to affect sales during certain time periods. A lack of liquidity could limit our ability to vary our managed assets promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. Additionally, if financial or operating difficulties of other owners result in distress sales, such sales could depress asset values in the markets in which we manage assets. The restrictions inherent in managing physical assets could reduce our ability to respond to changes in market conditions and could adversely affect the performance of investments across our fund strategies, our financial condition and our results of operations.
 Because there is significant uncertainty in the valuation of, or in the stability of the value of illiquid or non-public investments, the fair values of such investments do not necessarily reflect the prices that would actually be obtained when such investments are realized. Realizations at values significantly lower than the values at which investments have been recorded would result in losses, a decline in asset management fees and the potential loss of carried interest and incentive fees.
 Additionally, from time to time, we may guarantee the obligations of other entities that we manage. If we are required to fund these commitments and are unable to do so, this could result in damages being pursued against us or a loss of opportunity through default under contracts that are otherwise to our benefit.
 We may be exposed to risks associated with acquisitions.
 Part of BAM's growth strategy involves seeking acquisition opportunities. We will face competition for acquisitions, including from our competitors, many of whom will have greater financial resources than us. There can be no assurance that we will identify and successfully complete acquisitions that will advance our growth strategy, or at all. Though we are not currently pursuing any strategic acquisitions, future acquisitions will likely involve some or all of the following risks, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations: the difficulty of integrating the acquired operations and personnel into our current operations; potential disruption of our current operations; diversion of resources, including our management's time and

 attention; the difficulty of managing the growth of a larger organization; the risk of entering markets in which we have little experience; the risk of becoming involved in labor, commercial or regulatory disputes or litigation related to the new enterprise; the risk of environmental or other liabilities associated with the acquired business; and the risk of a change of control resulting from an acquisition triggering rights of third parties or government agencies under contracts with, or authorizations held by, the managed assets being acquired. It is possible that due diligence investigations into businesses being acquired may fail to uncover all material risks, or to identify a change of control trigger in a material contract or authorization, or that a contractual counterparty or government agency may take a different view on the interpretation of such a provision to that taken by us, thereby resulting in a dispute.
 We may be required to make temporary investments and backstop commitments with respect to our business and managed assets and may be unable to syndicate, assign or transfer such investments and commitments.
 We periodically may be asked to enter into agreements that commit us to acquire or stand in place of another entity to acquire assets or securities in order to support our managed assets with the expectation that our commitment is temporary. For example, we may acquire an asset suitable for a particular managed business that is fundraising and warehouse that asset through the fundraising period before transferring the asset to the managed business for which it was intended. As another example, our asset management business may commit capital for a particular acquisition transaction as part of a consortium alongside certain of our managed assets with the expectation that we will syndicate or assign all or a portion of our own commitment to investors prior to, at the same time as, or subsequent to, the anticipated closing of the transaction. In all of these cases, our support is intended to be of a temporary nature, and we engage in this activity in order to further the growth and development of our asset management business.
 Even if our asset management business' direct participation is intended to be of a temporary nature, our asset management business may be unable to syndicate, assign or transfer its interest or commitment as our asset management business intended and therefore may be required to take or keep ownership of assets or securities for an extended period. This would increase the amount of our asset management business' own capital deployed to certain assets and could have an adverse impact on our asset management business' liquidity, which may negatively impact its ability to meet other financial commitments.
 Our revenues may be adversely affected by a decline in the size or pace of investments made by our managed assets.
 Our revenue is driven in part by the pace at which our funds make investments and the size of those investments, and a decline in the pace or the size of such investments may reduce our revenues. In particular, in recent years we have meaningfully increased the number of perpetual strategies we offer and the assets under management in such strategies. The fees we earn from our perpetual capital strategies represent a significant and growing portion of our overall revenues. If our funds, including our perpetual capital strategies, are unable to deploy capital at a sufficient pace, our revenues would be adversely impacted. Many factors could cause a decline in the pace of investment, including a market environment characterized by relative high prices, the inability of our investment professionals to identify attractive investment opportunities, competition for such opportunities among other potential acquirers, decreased availability of capital on attractive terms. Further, we may fail to consummate identified investment opportunities because of business, regulatory or legal complexities or uncertainty and adverse developments in the markets in which we operate, financial markets or geopolitical conditions, and our ability to deploy capital in certain countries may be adversely impacted by government policy changes and regulations.
 Our revenue, earnings, net income and cash flow can materially vary from quarter to quarter, which may affect our earnings growth and dividend on a quarterly basis and can affect the trading price of the Class A Shares.
 Our revenue, net income and cash flow, substantially all of which is derived from our asset management business, can vary materially due to our reliance on incentive distributions and performance-based returns, such as carried interest. We may experience fluctuations in our results, including our revenue and net income, from quarter to quarter due to a number of other factors, including timing of realizations, changes in the valuations of our funds' investments, changes in the amount of distributions, dividends or interest paid in respect of investments, changes in our operating expenses, the degree to which we encounter competition and general economic and market conditions. Achieving steady growth in net income and cash flow on a quarterly basis may be difficult, which could in turn cause our dividend and our ability to pay dividends to fluctuate and lead to large adverse movements or general increased volatility in the price of the Class A Shares. We also do not provide any guidance regarding our expected quarterly and annual operating results. The lack of guidance may affect the expectations of public market analysts and could cause increased volatility in the Class A Shares.
 Our cash flow may fluctuate significantly due to the fact that we receive carried interest from certain of our funds only when investments are realized and achieve a certain preferred return. The payment of performance-based returns, including carried interest, depends on the applicable funds' performance and opportunities for realizing gains, which may be limited. It takes a substantial period of time to identify attractive investment opportunities, to raise all the funds needed to make an investment and then to realize the cash value (or other proceeds) of an investment through a sale, public offering, recapitalization or other exit. Even if an investment proves to be profitable, it may be a number of years before any profits can be realized in cash (or other proceeds). We cannot predict when, or if, any realization of investments will occur.
 The mark-to-market valuations of investments made by our funds are subject to volatility driven by economic and market conditions. Economic and market conditions may also negatively impact our realization opportunities.

 The valuations of and realization opportunities for investments made by our funds could also be subject to high volatility as a result of uncertainty regarding governmental policy with respect to, among other things, tax, financial services regulation, international trade, immigration, healthcare, labor, infrastructure and energy.
 In addition, upon the realization of a profitable investment by any of our funds featuring performance-based returns and prior to our receiving any carried interest in respect of that investment, 100% of the proceeds of that investment must generally be paid to the investors in such fund until they have recovered certain fees and expenses and achieved a certain return on all realized investments by that fund as well as a recovery of any unrealized losses. A particular realization event may have a significant impact on our results for that particular quarter that may not be replicated in subsequent quarters. We recognize revenue on investments in our funds based on our allocable share of realized and unrealized gains (or losses) reported by such funds, and a decline in realized or unrealized gains, or an increase in realized or unrealized losses, would adversely affect our revenue and possibly cash flow, which could further increase the volatility of our quarterly results. Because our funds have preferred return thresholds to investors that need to be met prior to our receiving any carried interest or other performance-based returns, substantial declines in the carrying value of the investment portfolios of such funds can significantly delay or eliminate any performance-based returns paid to us in respect of that fund since the value of the assets in the fund would need to recover to their aggregate cost basis plus the preferred return over time before we would be entitled to receive any performance-based returns, including carried interest, from that fund.
 The timing and receipt of performance-based returns also varies with the life cycle of our funds. During periods in which a relatively large portion of our assets under management is attributable to funds and investments in their "harvesting" period, our funds would make larger distributions than in the fundraising or investment periods that precede harvesting. During periods in which a significant portion of our assets under management is attributable to funds that are not in their harvesting periods, we may receive substantially lower performance-based returns, including carried interest.
 The varying frequency of payments of our different funds and strategies will contribute to the volatility of our cash flow. Furthermore, we earn this incentive income only if the net asset value of a vehicle has increased or, in the case of certain vehicles, increased beyond a particular return threshold, or if the vehicle has earned a net profit. Certain of these vehicles also have "high water marks" whereby we do not earn incentive income during a particular period even though the vehicle had positive returns in such period as a result of losses in prior periods. If one of these vehicles experiences losses, we will not earn incentive income from it until it surpasses the previous high water mark. The incentive income we earn is therefore dependent on the net asset value or the net profit of the vehicle, which could lead to significant volatility in our results.
 Our access to retail investors and selling retail directed products in numerous jurisdictions opens us up to potential litigation and regulatory enforcement risks.
 In 2021, we created a business group in partnership with Oaktree to serve the global wealth management channel, delivering access to Brookfield and Oaktree's private and public funds. Our goal is to increase the number and type of investment products we offer to high-net-worth individuals and mass affluent investors in the U.S. and other jurisdictions around the world. In some cases, our unregistered funds are distributed to retail investors indirectly through third-party managed vehicles sponsored by brokerage firms, private banks or third-party feeder providers, and in other cases directly to the qualified clients of private banks, independent investment advisors and brokers. In other cases, we create investment products specifically designed for direct investment by retail investors in the U.S., some of whom are not accredited investors, or similar investors in non-U.S. jurisdictions, including in Europe. Such investment products are regulated by the SEC in the U.S. and by other similar regulatory bodies in other jurisdictions.
 Accessing retail investors and selling retail directed products exposes us to new and greater levels of risk, including heightened litigation and regulatory enforcement risks. To the extent distribution of retail products is through new channels, including through an increasing number of distributors with whom we engage, we may not be able to effectively monitor or control the manner of their distribution, which could result in litigation or regulatory action against us, including with respect to, among other things, claims that products distributed through such channels are distributed to customers for whom they are unsuitable or that they are distributed in an otherwise inappropriate manner. Although we seek to ensure through due diligence and onboarding procedures that the third-party channels through which retail investors access our investment products conduct themselves responsibly, we are exposed to the risks of reputational damage and legal liability to the extent such third parties improperly sell our products to investors. This risk is heightened by the continuing increase in the number of third parties through whom we distribute our investment products around the world and who we do not control. For example, in certain cases, we may be viewed by a regulator as responsible for the content of materials prepared by third-party distributors.
 Similarly, there is a risk that employees involved in the direct distribution of our products, or employees who oversee independent advisors, brokerage firms and other third parties around the world involved in distributing our products, do not follow our compliance and supervisory procedures. In addition, the distribution of retail products, including through new channels whether directly or through market intermediaries, could expose us to allegations of improper conduct and/or actions by state and federal regulators in the U.S. and regulators in jurisdictions outside of the U.S. with respect to, among other things, product suitability, investor classification, compliance with securities laws, conflicts of interest and the adequacy of disclosure to customers to whom our products are distributed through those channels.

 As we expand the distribution of products to retail investors outside of the U.S., we are increasingly exposed to risks in non-U.S. jurisdictions. While these risks are similar to those that we face in the distribution of products to retail investors in the U.S., securities laws and other applicable regulatory regimes in many jurisdictions, including the U.K. and the European Economic Area, are extensive, complex, and vary by local jurisdiction. As a result, this expansion subjects us to additional litigation and regulatory risk.
 Information barriers may give rise to certain conflicts and risks and investment teams managing the activities of businesses that operate on opposite sides of an information barrier will not be aware of, and will not have the ability to manage, such conflicts and risks.
 Certain of our investment professionals operate largely independently of one another pursuant to an information barrier. The information barrier restricts businesses on opposite sides from coordinating or consulting with one another with respect to investment activities and/or decisions. Accordingly, these businesses manage their investment operations independently of each other. The investment activities and decisions made by a business on one side of an information barrier are not expected to be subject to any internal approvals by any person who would have knowledge and/or decision-making control of the investment activities and decisions made by a business on the other side of the information barrier. This absence of coordination and consultation will give rise to certain conflicts and risks in connection with the activities of the businesses within our asset management strategies and make it more difficult to mitigate, ameliorate or avoid such situations. These conflicts (and potential conflicts) of interests may include: (i) competing from time to time for the same investment opportunities, (ii) the pursuit by a business on one side of the information barrier of investment opportunities suitable for a business on the other side of the information barrier, without making such opportunities available to such business, and (iii) the formation or establishment of new strategies or products that could compete or otherwise conduct their affairs without regard as to whether or not they adversely impact the strategies or products of businesses operating on the other side of the information barrier. Investment teams managing the activities of businesses that operate on opposite sides of an information barrier are not expected to be aware of, and will not have the need or ability to manage, such conflicts which may impact the investment strategy, performance and investment returns of certain businesses within our asset management strategies.
 The investment professionals that operate on opposite sides of an information barrier are likely to be deemed affiliates for purposes of certain laws and regulations notwithstanding that they may be operationally independent from one another. The information barrier does not eliminate the requirement to aggregate certain investment holdings for certain securities laws and other regulatory purposes. This may result in, among other things, earlier public disclosure of investments; restrictions on transactions (including the ability to make or dispose of certain investments at certain times); potential short-swing profit disgorgement; penalties and/or regulatory remedies; or adverse effects on the prices of investments for our investment professionals' businesses that operate on the other side of such information barrier.
 Although these information barriers are intended to address the potential conflicts of interests and regulatory, legal and contractual requirements applicable to us, we may decide, at any time and without notice to our shareholders, to remove or modify the information barriers. In addition, there may be breaches (including inadvertent breaches) of the information barriers and related internal controls. In the event that the information barrier is removed or modified, it would be expected that we will adopt certain protocols designed to address potential conflicts and other considerations relating to the management of the investment activities of those businesses that previously operated on opposite sides of an information barrier. See "Risks Relating to our Organizational and Ownership Structure — Our organizational and ownership structure may create conflicts of interest that may be resolved in a manner that is not in the best interests of our company or the best interests of our shareholders".
 The breach or failure of our information barriers could result in the sharing of material non-public information between investment professionals that operate on opposite sides of an information barrier, which may restrict the acquisition or disposition activities of one of our strategies and ultimately impact the returns generated for our investors. In addition, any such breach or failure could also result in potential regulatory investigations and claims for securities laws violations in connection with our direct and/or indirect investment activities. Any inadvertent trading on material non-public information, or perception of trading on material non-public information by our personnel, could have a significant adverse effect on our reputation, result in the imposition of regulatory or financial sanctions and negatively impact our ability to raise third-party capital and provide investment management services to our clients, all of which could result in negative financial impact to our investment activities.

 Risks Relating to our Organizational and Ownership Structure
 BN will exercise substantial influence over BAM.
 After giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement, BN owns approximately 73% of the Class A Shares. As a result, for so long as BN maintains a significant voting interest in BAM, it will have the ability to exert substantial influence over many matters affecting BAM's business, including: (i) the composition of the Board and, through the Board, any determinations with respect to the business plans and policies of BAM, including the appointment and removal of its officers; (ii) determinations with respect to acquisitions of businesses, mergers or other business combinations; and (iii) BAM's capital structure, including financing activities.
 In addition, BN has the right (but not the obligation) to participate up to 25% (net of any participation of our asset management business) in each new sponsored fund of our asset management business. This participation includes any participation by BN's

 perpetual affiliates and BWS, but they are also not obligated to invest capital in our funds. Any fees to be paid to our asset management business on BN's managed capital must be agreed to by BN, in its sole discretion. It is expected that most of BN's capital will continue to be provided by the perpetual affiliates, for whom existing fee arrangements will continue to apply. For greater certainty, for any new capital, BN has a right to determine that no fees will apply. If BN does not commit all the capital it is entitled to provide, or does not agree for its capital to be fee-bearing, we may have difficulty growing our managed capital or our revenues.
 Moreover, a significant portion of our Fee-Bearing Capital is represented by the capital of the perpetual affiliates, which are controlled by BN. BN will therefore exercise significant influence over their operation, including (among other things) distribution policies that enable us to earn incentive distributions.
 BN has no obligation to provide backstops or other guarantees relating to new investments or acquisitions, or to commit capital on a transitional basis while other investors are being sourced, but any arrangements or understandings existing at the time of completion of the 2022 Arrangement will be continued. Moreover, if BN does make transitory investments it will generally be entitled to receive the same cost of carry for such investment as the relevant fund of our asset management business is entitled to under its fund documents (typically 8%) as well as stand-by / commitment fees at market rates and such other compensation as otherwise may be mutually agreed. It is possible that our ability to deploy capital may be adversely affected by not having BN's backstops or other guarantees, or we may be required to deploy our own capital, or to pay for other sources of capital.
 We depend on our global reputation for integrity and investment acumen. Our business could be negatively impacted by changes in BN's global reputation. In addition, other than as described in this Annual Report, BN is not committed to an exclusive relationship with us, and we may compete with BN (except for capital represented by the perpetual affiliates, which is exclusive) or compete with other asset managers for BN's capital.
 The ownership of BN may change and the control of BAM may be transferred to a third party without shareholder approval.
 BN is not required to maintain any ownership level in BAM and may sell the Class A Shares to a third party without the consent of BAM shareholders. Similarly, if a third party were to acquire ownership of BN's Class A Shares and appoint new directors or officers of its own choosing, it would be able to exercise substantial influence over BAM's policies and procedures and exercise substantial influence over BAM's management. Such changes could result in BAM's capital being used to make acquisitions in which BN has no involvement or to make acquisitions that are substantially different from those targeted by BAM's current growth strategy. Additionally, BAM cannot predict with any certainty the effect that changes in the ownership of BN would have on the trading price of the Class A Shares or its ability to raise capital or make investments in the future, because such matters would depend to a large extent on the identity of the new owner and the new owner's intentions with regard to BAM. As a result, BAM's business, financial condition and results of operations may suffer.
 Our organizational and ownership structure may create conflicts of interest that may be resolved in a manner that is not in our best interests or the best interests of our shareholders.
 Our organizational and ownership structure involves a number of relationships that may give rise to conflicts of interest between us and our shareholders, on the one hand, and BN, on the other hand. For example, except to a limited extent, BN is not committed to an exclusive relationship with us, and we may compete with BN (except for capital represented by the perpetual affiliates, which is exclusive) or may compete with other asset managers for BN's capital.
 Many of our executives and employees have a material portion of their equity compensation awards that are tied to the performance of the shares of BN. If the market value of BAM's shares and BN's shares are not fully aligned, the existence of these awards may result in our executives and employees being less focused on BAM's financial success.
 Ineffective maintenance of our culture or ineffective management of human capital could adversely impact our business and financial performance.
 Our ability to compete effectively in our business will depend upon our ability to attract new employees and retain and motivate our existing employees. Our senior management team has a significant role in our success and oversees the execution of our investment strategies. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified employees, our ability to compete successfully and achieve our business objectives could be limited, and our business, financial condition and results of operations could be negatively impacted.
 Our ability to retain and motivate our management team, attract suitable replacements should any members of our management team leave, or attract new investment professionals as our business grows, is dependent on, among other things, the competitive nature of the employment market and the career opportunities and compensation that we can offer. In all of our markets, we face intense competition in connection with the attraction and retention of qualified employees.
 We may experience departures of key professionals in the future. We cannot predict the impact that any such departures will have on our ability to achieve our objectives. Our senior management team possesses substantial experience and expertise and has strong business relationships with investors in our managed assets and other members of the business communities and industries in which we operate. As a result, the loss of these personnel could jeopardize our relationships with investors in our managed assets and other

 members of the business communities and industries in which we operate and result in the reduction of our assets under management or fewer investment opportunities. Accordingly, the loss of services from key professionals or a limitation in their availability could adversely impact our financial condition and cash flow. Furthermore, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets.
 Additionally, the departure of certain individuals could trigger certain "key person" provisions in the documentation governing certain of our private funds, which would permit the limited partners of those funds to suspend or terminate the funds' investment periods or withdraw their capital prior to the expiration of the applicable lock-up date. Our key person provisions vary by both strategy and fund and, with respect to each strategy and fund, are typically tied to multiple individuals, meaning that it would require the departure of more than one individual to trigger the key person provisions. Our human capital risks may be exacerbated by the fact that we do not maintain any key person insurance.
 The conduct of our business and the execution of our strategy rely heavily on teamwork. Our continued ability to respond promptly to opportunities and challenges as they arise depends on co-operation and co-ordination across our organization and our team-oriented management structure, which may not materialize in the way we expect.
 A portion of the workforce in some of our managed assets is unionized. If we are unable to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining agreements with any of our unions as existing agreements expire, we could experience a work stoppage, which could result in a significant disruption to the affected operations, higher ongoing labor costs and restrictions on our ability to maximize the efficiency of our operations, all of which could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

 Risks Relating to Taxation
 If BAM is classified as a passive foreign investment company, U.S. persons who own Class A Shares could be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.
 If BAM is classified as a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a U.S. Holder that owns Class A Shares could be subject to adverse tax consequences, including a greater tax liability than might otherwise apply, an interest charge on certain taxes deemed deferred as a result of BAM's non-U.S. status and additional U.S. tax reporting obligations. In general, a non-U.S. corporation will be a PFIC during a taxable year if, taking into account the income and assets of certain of its affiliates, (i) 75% or more of its gross income constitutes passive income or (ii) 50% or more of its assets produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. Passive income generally includes interest, dividends and other investment income.
 Based on its current and expected income, assets and activities, BAM does not expect to be classified as a PFIC for the current taxable year or in the foreseeable future. However, the determination of whether BAM is a PFIC depends upon the composition of its income and assets and the nature of its activities from time to time and must be made annually as of the close of each taxable year. The PFIC determination also depends on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules that are subject to differing interpretations. Thus, there can be no assurance that BAM will not be classified as a PFIC for any taxable year, or that the IRS or a court will agree with BAM's determination as to its PFIC status. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisers regarding the application of the PFIC rules, including the related reporting requirements and the advisability of making any available election under the PFIC rules, with respect to their ownership and disposition of Class A Shares.
 Changes in Canadian federal income tax law might adversely affect BAM and/or holders of Class A Shares.
 There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws, the judicial interpretation thereof, or the administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects BAM and/or holders of Class A Shares. Any such developments could have a material adverse effect on the holders of Class A Shares or our business, financial condition and results of operations.
 Reassessments by tax authorities or changes in tax laws could create additional tax costs for us.
 We operate in countries with differing tax laws and tax rates. Our tax reporting is supported by tax laws in the countries in which we operate and the application of tax treaties between the various countries in which we operate. Our income tax reporting is subject to audit by tax authorities in the countries in which we operate. Our effective tax rate may change from year to year, based on changes in the mix of activities and income earned among the different jurisdictions in which we operate, changes in tax laws in these jurisdictions, changes in the tax treaties between the countries in which we operate, changes in our eligibility for benefits under those tax treaties, and changes in the estimated values of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Tax laws, regulations and administrative practices in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change, with or without notice, due to economic, political and other conditions, and significant judgment is required in evaluating and estimating our provision and accruals for these taxes. Such changes could result in a substantial increase in the effective tax rate on all or a portion of our income.
 Governments around the world increasingly seek to regulate multinational companies and the application of differential tax rates between jurisdictions. This effort includes a greater emphasis by various nations on coordinating and sharing information regarding companies and the taxes they pay. A number of countries across the globe have also agreed to implement a "two pillar" plan for global tax reform, developed by the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS, to address perceived base erosion and profit shifting

 ("BEPS") by some multinational groups. Governmental taxation reforms, policies and practices could adversely affect us and, depending on the nature of such reforms, policies and practices, including the implementation of the BEPS proposals in the jurisdictions in which we operate, could have an impact on us. As a result of this increased focus on the use of tax planning by multinational companies, our company could be subject to negative media coverage, which may adversely impact our reputation.

 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 None.

 ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

 Cybersecurity Governance
 Cybersecurity at our company is overseen by our Board, the Audit Committee and management, as well as through our Enterprise Information Security Policy ("EISP").
 The Audit Committee of our Board is responsible for overseeing risk management strategies that are specific to our company, including reviewing management's assessment of the current and emerging risks and related mitigation strategies across financial and non-financial risks, including cybersecurity risks. Regular reports and updates on cybersecurity risks are made to senior management of BAM.
 Pursuant to the EISP, executive management has appointed a Chief Information Security Officer ("CISO"), who works closely with senior management, legal counsel and external counsel to develop and monitor our data protection, privacy and cybersecurity program and policies. The CISO provides periodic reports to the Audit Committee, which subsequently reports to the Board about data protection and cybersecurity risks and issues. The CISO has over 20 years' experience in cybersecurity oversight, holds a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science and Economics from York University and holds a number of information security certifications, including: CISSP, CISM, CISA and CRISC.

 Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy
 We have a cybersecurity program for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. This includes compliance with the EISP. Our cybersecurity program performance and effectiveness are also frequently assessed and audited internally and by third parties.
 We believe our cybersecurity program is reasonably designed to materially protect the integrity and availability of our information and technology. This program addresses security governance, security awareness, employee training, relevant access and end-point security, vulnerability management, penetration testing, security monitoring and incident response. We use technologies to optimize our security risk detection and response capabilities, in addition to access controls and anti-malware protections. We believe our practices align with the NIST Cybersecurity Framework in meeting and exceeding the industry average in cybersecurity practice.
 In addition, all employees regularly undergo mandatory continuing cybersecurity training. Employees in higher-risk functions receive additional training and cybersecurity awareness education. Audits, cybersecurity simulations and employee testing results indicate that our program is effective in protecting our information. The effectiveness of these programs is evaluated regularly through both internal and third-party audits.
 In 2024, we undertook the following initiatives: further enhanced our data protection and threat-intelligence capabilities; improved our processes for third-party risk management; continued mandatory cybersecurity education for all employees; and incorporated social engineering to our phishing simulations. When we engage third parties, we have policies and processes to govern their access and reduce the risks associated with their access. For example, all third-party access must be authorized and have a legitimate business need. Prior to authorization and granting access, the terms and conditions of such access must be agreed to as part of a formal agreement or contract. In addition, all authorized third-party access must be limited, monitored and controlled as appropriate.
 Our systems face cybersecurity risks, and we have in the past experienced threats to our data and systems. However, to date, these incidents have not had a material impact on our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We can provide no assurance that we will not experience any material cybersecurity threats or incidents in the future. See "Part I—Item 1A. Risk Factors—Failure to maintain the security of our information and technology systems could have a material adverse effect on us".

 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
 Our principal executive office is located at Brookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY. We also lease space for our other offices in North America, South America, Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. We consider these facilities to be suitable and adequate for the management and operations of our business.

 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 For a discussion of BAM's legal proceedings, see the section entitled "Litigation" appearing in Note 8 and 18, respectively, "Commitments and Contingencies" in BAM's and the Asset Management Company's financial statements included elsewhere in this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.

 Not applicable.

 ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
 The Class A Shares are listed on each of the NYSE and TSX under the symbol "BAM".
 As at March 7, 2025, the following shares of BAM were issued and outstanding: 1,637,295,707 Class A Shares; 21,280 Class B Shares; and no Class A Preferred Shares.
 The number of holders of record of our Class A Shares as at March 7, 2025 was 7,528. This does not include the number of shareholders that hold shares in "street name" through banks or broker-dealers. The BAM Partnership is the sole holder of the Class B Shares outstanding.

 Dividend Policy
 Class A Shares and Class B Shares
 The declaration and payment of dividends on the Class A Shares and Class B Shares are at the discretion of the Board. Dividends on the Class A Shares and Class B Shares are paid quarterly, at the end of March, June, September and December of each year. We intend to pay out approximately 90% of our Distributable Earnings to shareholders quarterly and reinvest the balance back into the business. Our asset management business intends to pay dividends to BAM on a quarterly basis sufficient to ensure that BAM can pay its intended dividend. Dividends will be variable and will change in line with the growth of Distributable Earnings.
 Registered holders of our Class A Shares who are resident in Canada have the opportunity to acquire additional Class A Shares by reinvesting all or a portion of their cash dividend without paying commissions through our Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the "DRIP"). The DRIP is currently not available for registered shareholders of our Class A Shares who are resident in the United States. Pursuant to our DRIP, registered holders of our Class A Shares who are resident in Canada may also elect to receive their dividends in the form of newly issued Class A Shares at a price equal to the NYSE volume-weighted average price (as determined in accordance with the DRIP) multiplied by an exchange factor which is calculated as the average daily exchange rate as reported by the Bank of Canada during each of the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant investment date.
 The following table summarizes the dividends paid per share for the periods indicated on the Class A Shares and the Class B Shares, all expressed in U.S. dollars.

 Exchange and Foreign Ownership Controls
 We are not aware of any Canadian federal or provincial laws, decrees, or regulations that restrict the export or import of capital, including foreign exchange controls, or that affect the remittance of dividends, interest, or other payments to non-Canadian holders of the Class A Shares. There are no limitations under the laws of Canada or by the articles or our other constating documents on ownership of our voting shares by non-Canadians, except the Investment Canada Act which may require review and approval by the Minister of Innovation (Canada) of certain acquisitions of control of us by non-Canadians. The threshold for acquisitions of control is generally defined as being one-third or more of our voting shares, provided certain financial thresholds are also exceeded. If the investment is potentially injurious to national security, it may be subject to review under the Investment Canada Act notwithstanding the percentage interest acquired or amount of the investment. "Non-Canadian" generally means an individual who is not a Canadian citizen, or a corporation, partnership, trust, or joint venture that is ultimately controlled by non-Canadians.

 Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Residents
 The following is a summary of the principal Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable under the Income Tax Act (Canada) (together with the regulations thereto, the "Tax Act") to a beneficial holder of Class A Shares who, for the purposes of the Tax Act and the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (1980) (the "Treaty"), and at all relevant times, (i) is not and is not deemed to be a resident in Canada, (ii) is a resident of the United States for the purposes of the Treaty and is entitled to the full benefits thereunder, (iii) holds all Class A Shares as capital property, (iv) deals at arm's length with and is not affiliated with BAM, and (v) does not use or hold and is not deemed to use or hold Class A Shares in connection with a business carried on in Canada (each such holder, a "U.S. Resident Holder"). Generally, the Class A Shares will be considered to be capital property to a U.S. Resident

 Holder provided the U.S. Resident Holder does not hold such shares in the course of carrying on a business of trading or dealing in securities and has not acquired them in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.
 This summary is not generally applicable to a U.S. Resident Holder: (i) that is an insurer carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere, (ii) that is an "authorized foreign bank" (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) that is a "financial institution" (as defined in the Tax Act) for purposes of the "mark-to-market property" rules; (iv) an interest in which is or would constitute a "tax shelter investment" (as defined in the Tax Act); (v) that is a "specified financial institution" (as defined in the Tax Act); or (vi) that has or will enter into a "synthetic disposition arrangement" or a "derivative forward agreement" (as those terms are defined in the Tax Act) in respect of Class A Shares. Such U.S. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
 This summary is based on the provisions of the Tax Act and the Treaty in force on the date hereof, and the current administrative policies and assessing practices of the CRA published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative policy or assessing practice whether by legislative, administrative, or judicial action or decision, nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein. This summary is not exhaustive of all possible Canadian federal income tax consequences that may affect U.S. Resident Holders. U.S. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
 This summary is of a general nature only and is not intended to be, and should not be construed to be, legal, business or tax advice to any particular U.S. Resident Holder, and no opinion or representation with respect to the tax consequences to any U.S. Resident Holder or prospective U.S. Resident Holder is made. Accordingly, U.S. Resident Holders and prospective U.S. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the income tax consequences of purchasing, owning, and disposing of Class A Shares having regard to their own particular circumstances.
 Dividends on the Class A Shares
 Dividends paid or credited, or deemed to be paid or credited, on Class A Shares by BAM to a U.S. Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax under Part XIII of the Tax Act at the rate of 25%, subject to a possible reduction under the provisions of the Treaty. Under the Treaty, the rate of Canadian withholding tax applicable to a dividend paid on a Class A Share to a U.S. Resident Holder who is a resident of the United States for purposes of the Treaty, beneficially owns the dividend and is fully entitled to the benefits of the Treaty, will generally be reduced to 15% (or 5% in certain cases where such U.S. Resident Holder is a corporation that beneficially owns at least 10% of BAM's voting shares). Additionally, such dividends will be generally exempt from Canadian withholding tax for a U.S. Resident Holder who is fully entitled to the benefits of the Treaty, is generally exempt from income taxation in the United States, and is operated exclusively to administer or provide pension, retirement or employee benefits. U.S. Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
 Disposition of Class A Shares
 A U.S. Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition or deemed disposition of a Class A Share, unless the Class A Share constitutes taxable Canadian property of the U.S. Resident Holder for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the disposition or deemed disposition and the U.S. Resident Holder is not entitled to relief under the Treaty.
 Provided that the Class A Shares are listed on a "designated stock exchange" (as defined in the Tax Act and which currently includes the TSX and the NYSE), the Class A Shares will generally not constitute taxable Canadian property of a U.S. Resident Holder at a particular time unless, at any time during the sixty-month period immediately preceding that time, the following two conditions are met concurrently: (a) 25% or more of the issued shares of any class of BAM were owned by or belonged to one or any combination of (i) the U.S. Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the U.S. Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length, and (iii) partnerships in which the U.S. Resident Holder or persons with whom the U.S. Resident Holder did not deal at arm's length holds a membership interest, directly or indirectly through one or more other partnerships; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Class A Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of: (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) "Canadian resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) "timber resource properties" (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests or rights in, property described in (i) to (iii), whether or not the property exists. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, the Class A Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property of a U.S. Resident Holder.
 In the event that a Class A Share is "taxable Canadian property," within the meaning of the Tax Act, to a U.S. Resident Holder, such U.S. Resident Holder should consult their own tax advisor as to the Canadian federal income tax consequences of the disposition, including potential compliance requirements and withholding under section 116 of the Tax Act.

 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 On October 31, 2024, BAM and BN entered into an arrangement agreement with respect to the 2025 Arrangement, whereby on February 4, 2025, BAM acquired approximately 73% of the outstanding common shares of the Asset Management Company, from BN and certain of its subsidiaries. Prior to the 2025 Arrangement, BAM owned an approximate 27% interest in the Asset Management Company and BN owned an approximate 73% interest in the Asset Management Company. As part of the 2025 Arrangement, BAM

 issued Class A Shares to BN in exchange for all of the common shares of the Asset Management Company currently owned by BN and its subsidiaries on a one-for-one basis.
 Pursuant to the 2025 Arrangement, a total of 1,194,021,145 Class A Shares were issued to BN and certain of its subsidiaries pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon completion of the 2025 Arrangement, BAM owns, directly and indirectly, 100% of the common shares of the Asset Management Company and BN owns approximately 73% of the outstanding Class A Shares.

 Share Repurchases in the Fourth Quarter of 2024
 As at December 31, 2024, there were 34,605,494 Class A Shares remaining for further repurchases under BAM's former share repurchase program, which expired on January 10, 2025. Under BAM's current share repurchase program, 37,123,295 Class A Shares can be repurchased and as at March 7, 2025, there were 36,012,752 Class A Shares remaining for further repurchases.
 Under our current repurchase program, BAM is authorized to repurchase Class A Shares from time to time in open market transactions. The timing, manner, price and amount of any Class A Share repurchases will be determined by BAM in its discretion and will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The current repurchase program expires on January 12, 2026 or until the maximum approved number of shares has been purchased. The program does not require BAM to repurchase any specific number of Class A Shares, and the program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

 ITEM 6. [RESERVED]

 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with BAM's consolidated financial statements and the related notes included within this Annual Report.

 Business Environment
 In 2024, global GDP growth is expected to have risen by 3.2% compared to 3.1% in 2023, above the projection of 2.9% at the beginning of 2024. This economic activity was supported by lower inflation, steady employment growth, and less restrictive monetary policy. Labor markets continued to ease, though unemployment generally remained at or near historical lows. Additionally, headline inflation has now returned to target in a number of advanced and emerging-market economies despite lingering pressures in service sectors.
 Over the course of 2024, differences in economic performance and monetary policy across countries emerged following the coordinated rate hiking cycle that came before it. Some economies, such as the United States and India, demonstrated above-average growth, whereas others, including the Eurozone, the U.K. and China, grew at slower rates.
 GDP growth in the United States remained healthy at 2.8% for 2024, where robust consumption growth was supported by real wage gains. Core consumer price inflation fell from 3.9% at the end of 2023 to 3.3% at the end of 2024. Labor market tightness gradually eased, with the ratio of job vacancies to the number of unemployed people continuing to decline. The unemployment rate increased slightly over the year from 3.8% to 4.1%, remaining low by historical standards, led by the public sector being a strong source of labor demand, with its contribution to total employment growth in 2024 being significantly above pre pandemic levels.
 Higher interest rates have had the desired effect of bringing inflation down closer to central bank targets in most developed economies. In 2024, monetary policy shifted as most major central banks began easing cycles. By the latter half of the year, most central banks across advanced economies cut policy rates at least once.
 Federal Open Market Committee policymakers started the Fed's easing cycle with a larger-than-expected 50 basis point rate cut in September before transitioning to a more gradual pace of easing. Market expectations for Federal Reserve monetary policy fluctuated materially over the course of the year. This saw 2-year treasury yields begin the year at 4.3%, rise above 5.0% in April, fall to 3.8% after unexpectedly weak payroll data, before climbing back to 4.2% to end the year. The Fed's Summary of Economic Projections implies two 25 basis point cuts in 2025, and the Fed's terminal rate has been lifted to 3% from 2.9% previously.
 Elsewhere, easing cycles have been gradual, as in the case of the Bank of England with two 25 basis point rate cuts, while others cut rates at a faster pace, such as in the Eurozone with four 25 basis point deposit rate cuts and the Bank of Canada with three 25 basis point and two 50 basis point rate cuts. Conversely, the Bank of Japan ended its negative interest rate policy in March with its first-rate hike since 2007. Policymakers in emerging markets were more varied. The People's Bank of China continued lowering lending rates in 2024, the Reserve Bank of India held steady, while in Latin America, the Brazilian Central Bank returned to rate hikes.
 Credit spreads on both investment grade and high yield bond indices ended the year tighter, after a spike in early August due to concerns over a slowdown. Credit default swaps on both indices also tightened over the course of the year. U.S. primary markets for investment grade and high yield bonds continued to recover to close to recent highs with gross issuances increasing by 25% and 66% over the prior year, respectively. Over the course of 2024, demand for credit improved and bond funds recorded their highest inflows over the past decade, as investors sought attractive yields against a backdrop of easing from major central banks.
 Equity market performance was strong in 2024 as markets grew increasingly optimistic relative to expectations at the beginning of the year. The MSCI World Index increased by 17%. Additionally, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq increased by 23% and 25%, respectively. For the first time in two and a half decades, the S&P 500 achieved consecutive returns of more than 20% in both 2023 and 2024.
 Global M&A volumes increased to $3.5 trillion in 2024 from $3.2 trillion in 2023. Lower interest rates and optimism on growth increased deal volumes from private equities and other financial investors as that class began to regain ground with a 29% increase in deal values compared to the prior year. Corporate M&A, which is less influenced by small movements in the cost of debt, is on track to end the year 12% above 2023. Initial public offering ("IPO") activity in the Americas saw a strong recovery, reaching its highest IPO activity since 2021, in both volume and proceeds, with 205 IPO's raising US$33.1billion.
 Following a 13% contraction in 2023, commodity prices were largely flat in 2024 as measured by the Bloomberg Commodity Index, as declines in energy and agriculture were balanced by price increases in metals. Precious metals surged 19%, as investors sought haven in gold. For the second consecutive year, energy declined significantly by 8%, primarily driven by a 14% drop in natural gas prices resulting from increased production and lower demand. After the spike in April to $91 per barrel due to geopolitical tensions and output cuts, brent oil prices declined through the remainder of 2024 to end the year at $75 per barrel.
 During 2024, a large portion of the world's population took part in general elections that resulted in incumbent governments losing power or suffering setbacks. The U.S. presidential election saw the return of former President Donald Trump and Republican

 majorities in both houses of Congress. Financial markets and risk assets performed strongly against this backdrop with limited volatility. In the U.K., politics moved to the left with the Labor Party ousting the incumbent Conservative Party with a significant majority. Japan's Lower House election saw the incumbent party that has governed for most of the post-World War II era lose their majority. In France, President Macron's decision to hold snap elections resulted in losses to left-wing and right-wing parties. However, uncertainty over the policies that new governments will implement, as well as geopolitics and the impact on economic activity, may continue to be a feature of the near-term outlook.
 Our business is well-positioned within the evolving alternative asset management landscape by leveraging a strategic and agile approach to investment opportunities. As investors seek diversification and innovative solutions, we are equipped to navigate market complexities and government policies by delivering value through disciplined strategies. Our ability to adapt to shifting economic conditions and capitalize on emerging trends ensures we remain a trusted partner in achieving long-term financial outcomes.

 Share of income from Brookfield Asset Management ULC

 $
 $
 $
 $
 $

 Net income consists of BAM's equity interest in the earnings of the Asset Management Company and compensation and benefit costs, primarily attributable to executive compensation costs of BAM and unrealized carried interest compensation expense. A material portion of these costs are reimbursed by BN and the Asset Management Company in accordance with the Relationship Agreement and the Asset Management Services Agreement.
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM recorded net income of $541 million, compared to $451 million in the prior year. On May 2, 2024, Brookfield Wealth Solutions ("BWS") completed the acquisition of the remaining outstanding common stock of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company ("AEL") that it did not already own. In connection with the transaction, BAM issued approximately 28.8 million Class A Shares totaling consideration of $1.1 billion to BN in exchange for 28.8 million common shares of the Asset Management Company (the "AEL Mandate"). The AEL Mandate was non-dilutive to BAM Ltd. shareholders and increased BAM's ownership in the Asset Management Company from approximately 25% to approximately 27%.
 The increase in net income compared to the prior year was driven by the higher income of the Asset Management Company and our higher ownership resulting from the aforementioned AEL Mandate. This was partially offset by higher interest expense on the credit facility with the Asset Management Company and higher non-recoverable compensation costs.
 Refer to the following discussion for details on the earnings of the Asset Management Company.
 For the year ended December 31, 2023 and the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, BAM recorded net income of $451 million compared to $19 million for the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022. Net income of $19 million from the comparative period represents earnings from December 9, 2022 (the date of the 2022 Arrangement) to December 31, 2022 compared to a full year of net income in 2023.

 The asset management business primarily generates revenue from fees earned pursuant to contractual arrangements with funds, publicly traded vehicles, and investors as well as transaction and advisory fees. These fees include base management fees, incentive distribution rights, and certain advisory fees. Base management fees are long-term, recurring in nature, and correspond to fundraising activity, net asset values of certain of our funds, and market capitalizations of our publicly traded vehicles, specifically BIP, BEP and BBU. Incentive distribution rights are performance fees earned from BIP and BEP for exceeding predetermined distribution thresholds, are long-term, and are not subject to clawback.
 The asset management business is entitled to carried interest assuming certain investment returns are achieved, as well as incentive management fees in certain of our structures where we are entitled to contractual fees from an investment fund based on achieving prescribed investment returns.

 The composition of our revenues will vary based on market conditions and the cyclical nature of our businesses. Carried interest allocations generated by our funds and associated carried interest compensation are driven by the performance of the underlying investments as well as overall market conditions. Fair values are affected by changes in the fundamentals of our investments, the industries in which they operate, the overall economy, and other market conditions. The impact of fair values of our underlying investments throughout market cycles may result in material increases or decreases to carry generated, net of expenses.
 Expenses within our asset management business primarily include employee base compensation, bonuses, and share-based compensation. Period over period changes in employee base compensation and bonuses generally result from changes in headcount and annual salary changes. Share-based awards are granted in the first quarter of each year and generally vest over 5 years. Equity settled compensation awards vest on a graded basis over the vesting period and cash settled share-based compensation awards are recorded at fair value quarterly based on the trading price of BAM Ltd. Class A Shares. Therefore, for cash settled share-based compensation, an increase or decrease in the share price of BAM Ltd. will result in share-based compensation expense or recovery.
 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2.1 billion, of which $2.2 billion was attributable to common stockholders. This compares to net income of $2.1 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $1.8 billion was attributable to common stockholders.
 Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $4.0 billion, which represents a decrease of $82 million compared to $4.1 billion of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.
 Base Management and Advisory Fees
 Base management and advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $3.0 billion, which represents an increase of $191 million or 7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was predominantly driven by the AEL Mandate, resulting in $49 billion of inflows of Fee-Bearing Capital, as well as annuity-related inflows and other insurance capital generated in BWS. Management fee revenues also increased due to incremental contributions from capital raised for our latest flagship funds, capital deployed across our complementary strategies, as well as a higher trading price of BBU. These increases were partially offset by lower trading prices of BIP, lower net asset value of BPG, and the end of the investment period of certain of our older vintage funds.
 Incentive Fees
 Incentive fees for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $424 million, an increase of $48 million or 13% from the year ended December 31, 2023, driven by higher incentive distribution fees earned due to growth in BIP and BEP's dividends of 6% and 5%, respectively.
 Carried Interest Allocations
 Realized carried interest allocations were $25 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents a decrease of $26 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Realized carried interest allocations in the current and prior year were predominantly due to dispositions within our first real estate flagship fund and certain other real estate fund strategies. All realized carried interest income in both the year ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, net of carry compensation related to mature funds are attributable to BN through our redeemable preferred shares.
 The unrealized carried interest allocations reversal of $9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 represents a decrease of $357 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The change reflects lower valuations across our real estate flagship funds, which is partially offset by higher valuations in our global transition and infrastructure flagship funds.
 Carried interest allocations generated by new funds are 66.7% attributable to the asset management business and 33.3% to BN. Within the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, carry interest allocations are presented on a 100% basis and the portion attributable to BN is presented in Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. Unrealized carried interest allocations attributable to the asset management business were $257 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $109 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
 Interest and Dividend Revenue
 Interest and dividend revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $143 million, which represents a decrease of $29 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was due to the lower deposit balance held with BN driven by the acquisition of our incremental approximately 4.5% interest in Oaktree, our acquisition of an interest in Castlelake, as well as other strategic acquisitions made during the year. In addition, the funding of working capital requirements further decreased our deposit balance with BN.

 Other Revenues
 Other revenues were $440 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $91 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Other revenues are largely comprised of recoverables from BN related to share and performance-based compensation as defined by the Relationship Agreement, fund expense recharges, and incentive management fees earned on certain funds. The increase compared to the prior year was due to higher incentive management fees earned, fund expense recharges and increased recoveries in share and performance-based compensation. Share-based and performance-based award expenses that are recoverable from BN are recognized in other revenues with the offsetting expense recognized in compensation and benefits, and carried interest allocation compensation, respectively.
 Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $1.7 billion, an increase of $134 million or 9% compared to the year ended December 31, 2023.
 Compensation and Benefits
 Compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $1.2 billion, which represents an increase of $106 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This was attributable to higher compensation costs from the ongoing growth of our asset management business as well as higher share-based compensation expense in the year due to higher mark-to-market movements on liability-based compensation awards.
 Other Operating Expenses
 Other operating expenses are comprised of professional fees, facilities costs, as well as costs directly associated with our fundraising and investment functions. Other operating expenses were $347 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $342 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in our business relative to the prior year.
 Carried Interest Allocation Compensation
 Compensation expenses related to carried interest allocation compensation were $93 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents an increase of $7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily driven by higher relative valuation gains across certain infrastructure, renewable, and private equity funds compared to the prior year. The carried interest compensation expense associated with mature funds is fully recoverable from BN. Carried interest compensation expense on new funds was $7 million during the year.
 Other Expenses, net
 Other expenses, net for the year ended December 31, 2024 were an expense of $93 million compared to $129 million in the prior year. This expense primarily consists of mark-to-market movements on our investment in BSREP III and mark-to-market adjustments on put and call options to acquire additional interests in Oaktree, Primary Wave, and Castlelake. Current year expense compared to the prior year were lower due to gains on the various put and call options held by the asset management company and financial instruments associated with various investments. This was partially offset by valuation changes in BSREP III and unrealized foreign exchange losses.
 Share of Income from Equity Method Investments
 Our share of income from equity method investments was $339 million compared to $167 million in the prior year, or an increase of $172 million. This is predominantly driven by increased earnings from our investment in Oaktree due to higher management fees earned and unrealized carried interest generated during the year, as well as our higher ownership interest. In addition, our share of income from equity method investments reflects earnings from our Castlelake investment from September 17, 2024.
 Income Tax Expense
 Income tax expense was $438 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents an increase of $21 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. This increase was driven by changes in tax rates in certain jurisdictions in which we earn income relative to the prior year.
 Net Loss Attributable to Preferred Share Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
 The asset management business recognizes carried interest income and associated carried interest allocation expense on mature funds within our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations on a gross basis. As the net carried interest generated on mature funds is all attributable to BN, the net income or loss attributable to BN via the preferred shares primarily represents the change in carried interest, net of carried interest allocation expense and taxes on mature funds owing to BN.

 Net loss attributable to preferred redeemable non-controlling interest was $211 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to lower valuations in certain mature funds.
 Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
 Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $151 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The asset management business recognizes carried interest income on new funds within our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations on a gross basis. On new funds, 33.3% of carried interest revenue is attributable to BN. This balance is primarily the carried interest generated on new funds that is attributable to BN and fluctuates depending on the carried interest generated on new funds during the year.
 For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
 Net income for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $2.1 billion, of which $1.8 billion was attributable to common stockholders. This compares to net income of $2.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2022, of which $1.9 billion was attributable to common stockholders.
 Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $4.1 billion, which represents an increase of $435 million or 12% compared to $3.6 billion of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2022.
 Base Management and Advisory Fees
 Base management and advisory fees for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $2.8 billion, which represents an increase of $266 million or 11% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was predominantly driven by incremental contributions from capital raised for our latest flagship funds and capital deployed across our complementary strategies.
 Incentive Fees
 Incentive fees for the year ended December 31, 2023, were $376 million, an increase of $41 million or 12% from the year ended December 31, 2022, driven by higher incentive distribution fees earned due to growth in BIP and BEP's dividends of 6% and 5%, respectively.
 Carried Interest Allocations
 Realized carried interest allocations were $51 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which represents a decrease of $190 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Realized carried interest allocations in the year were primarily driven by dispositions within our real estate flagship funds. Realized carried interest allocations of $241 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 were primarily driven by realizations within our real estate long-term and perpetual funds, as well as a realization within our infrastructure business. All realized carried interest allocations, net of carry compensation for the current and comparative period related to mature funds and are attributable to BN. Realized carried interest allocations on mature funds are attributed to BN through our redeemable preferred shares.
 Unrealized carried interest allocations were $348 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which represents an increase of $99 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The unrealized carried interest allocations were primarily related to growth in valuations in our private equity, real estate and transition flagship funds, partially offset by realizations in the year.
 Carried interest allocation generated by new funds are 66.7% attributable to the asset management business and 33.3% to BN. Within the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations, carry revenue is presented on a 100% basis and the portion attributable to BN is presented in Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest. Unrealized carried interest allocations attributable to the asset management business, which represents unrealized carried interest on new funds, was $167 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $124 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
 Interest and Dividend Revenue
 Interest and dividend revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $172 million, which represents a decrease of $86 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was a result of the transfer of certain investments and loans of the asset management business to BN as part of the 2022 Arrangement. Prior year interest and dividend income was earned from legacy investments and interest bearing loans with affiliates.

 Other Revenues
 Other revenues were $349 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $305 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Other revenues are largely comprised of recoverables from BN related to share and performance-based compensation as defined by the Relationship Agreement, fund expense recharges, and incentive management fees earned on certain funds. The increase is due to amounts recoverable from BN associated with share and performance based compensation as defined by the Relationship Agreement. A decrease in performance and liability-based compensation resulted in reduced recoveries in the prior year. Share-based and performance-based award expenses that are recoverable from BN are recognized in other revenues with the offsetting expense recognized in compensation and benefits, and carried interest allocation compensation, respectively.
 Total expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $1.5 billion, an increase of $175 million or 13% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.
 Compensation and Benefits
 Compensation and benefits for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $1.0 billion, which represents an increase of $348 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This is primarily attributable to increased compensation costs resulting from the ongoing growth of our asset management business and mark-to-market increases of liability-based awards.
 Other Operating Expenses
 Other operating expenses are comprised of professional fees, facilities costs, as well as costs directly associated with our fundraising and investment functions. Other operating expenses were $342 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $236 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the growth in our business relative to the prior year.
 Carried Interest Allocation Compensation
 Compensation expenses related to carried interest allocation compensation were $86 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which represents a decrease of $114 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This is predominantly driven by lower relative valuation gains compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 across certain of our funds. The carried interest compensation expense associated with mature funds is fully recoverable from BN. Carried interest compensation expense on new funds was $2 million on a net basis.
 Other (Expenses) Income, net
 Other (expenses) income, net for the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily consists of mark-to-market movements on our investment in BSREP III and mark-to-market adjustments on call and put options to acquire an additional interest in Oaktree and Primary Wave. BSREP III mark-to-market movements and dividend distributions during 2023 are not attributable to the Asset Management Company on a net basis. The Asset Management Company also recorded impairment charges associated with intangible assets and goodwill of $30 million related to legacy acquisitions, and transaction costs related to the spin-off of the asset management business. Other income in the prior year relates to dividend income received from BSREP III.
 Share of Income from Equity Accounted Investments
 Our share of income from equity accounted investments was $167 million compared to $146 million in the prior year, or an increase of 14%. This is predominantly our share of income from our investment in Oaktree, primarily driven by unrealized carried interest generated during the year.
 Income Tax Expense
 Income tax expense was $417 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, which represents a decrease of $210 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. This decrease was driven by lower taxable income relative to prior year.
 Net Income Attributable to Preferred Share Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
 The asset management business recognizes carried interest income and associated carried interest allocation expense on mature funds within our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations on a gross basis. As the net carried interest generated on mature funds is all attributable to BN, the net income or loss attributable to BN via the preferred shares primarily represents the change in carried interest, net of carried interest allocation expense and taxes on mature funds owing to BN.
 Net income attributable to preferred redeemable non-controlling interest was $262 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to higher valuations in certain mature funds.

 Net Income Attributable to Non-Controlling Interest
 Net income attributable to non-controlling interest was $36 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The asset management business recognizes carried interest income on new funds within our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations on a gross basis. On new funds, 33.3% of carried interest revenue is attributable to BN. This balance is primarily the carried interest generated on new funds that is attributable to BN and fluctuates depending on the carried interest generated on new funds during the year.

 As at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
 As at December 31, 2024, BAM's total assets were $4.4 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion, or 37% from December 31, 2023. Total assets consist primarily of approximately 27% interest in the Asset Management Company and reimbursements due from affiliates related to long-term executive compensation programs of BAM.
 Due from Affiliates
 Due from affiliates increased by $82 million from $886 million to $968 million, or 9%, primarily due to higher reimbursable expenses related to long-term executive compensation programs and performance-based awards of BAM. This was partially offset by payments under the Asset Management Services Agreement related to share-based compensation awards and settlements of certain liability-based awards for which BAM was reimbursed.

 Other Assets
 Other assets increased from $40 million to $75 million due to the purchase of an option to acquire Brookfield Asset Management ULC's shares for $35 million. These options track certain awards issued to employees of our asset management business and are exercised at the same time and at the same exercise price as the underlying awards.
 Investment in Brookfield Asset Management ULC
 The investment in Brookfield Asset Management ULC increased by $1.1 billion, or 47% to $3.3 billion. BAM issued approximately 28.8 million Class A Shares in exchange for approximately 28.8 million shares of the Asset Management Company. The share exchange was valued at $1.1 billion, was non-dilutive to BAM Ltd. shareholders, and increased BAM's ownership from approximately 25% to approximately 27%. The investment balance is net of distributions, partially offset by our share of income during the year.
 As at December 31, 2024, BAM's total liabilities were $1.1 billion, a decrease of $12 million compared to December 31, 2023. This was driven by a decrease in due to affiliates of $32 million, or 12%, due to repayments on BAM's credit facility with the Asset Management Company. Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased due to movement in liability-based awards, partially offset by the settlement of certain liability-based awards.
 As at December 31, 2024, BAM's total equity was $3.3 billion, which increased by $1.2 billion, or 57% compared to December 31, 2023. This was primarily due to the aforementioned equity issuance. In addition, net income earned and increases in additional paid-in-capital related to stock-based compensation plans were partially offset by distributions in the period.

 As at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023
 Total assets were $14.2 billion as at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $133 million or 1% compared to December 31, 2023, due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents, partially offset by an increase in investments during the year.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 Cash and cash equivalents were $404 million as at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $2.3 billion or 85% from December 31, 2023. This was largely due to the acquisition of our incremental approximately 4.5% ownership interest in Oaktree, our acquisition of Castlelake, as well as other strategic acquisitions made during the year ended December 31, 2024. This was partially offset by the repayment of a bridge facility made to an affiliate, and reimbursements of fund expenses. Of this balance, $132 million is on deposit with BN.
 Accounts Receivable and Other, Net
 Accounts receivable and other, net of $483 million primarily consists of receivables from third parties and prepaid expenses. The decrease of $68 million from December 31, 2023 was largely driven by the timing of collections, partially offset by management fees receivable from third parties and prepayments of stock-based compensation costs to BAM in accordance with the Asset Management Services Agreement.
 Financial Assets
 Financial assets of $231 million primarily consists of call options to acquire additional interests in Primary Wave and Castlelake in the future and financial instruments associated with various investments. The increase of $194 million from December 31, 2023 was largely driven by mark-to-market valuation increases of certain of our call options, as well as the recognition of new call options recognized during the year.
 Due from Affiliates
 Due from affiliates of $2.5 billion primarily relates to management fees earned but not collected from our managed funds, receivables for expenses paid on behalf of certain of our funds, as well as reimbursements due from BN for long-term compensation awards. The movement of $4 million from December 31, 2023 was primarily the result of collections on management fees, settlement of certain liability-based awards, fund recharge receivables and certain receivables with BN, and repayments of interest bearing related party loans. These decreases were partially offset by management fees receivables on fee revenues earned from our funds during the year and recoverable expenses for certain liability-based awards recoverable from BN.
 Investments are comprised of:
 • Our approximately 15% limited partnership interest in BSREP III of $1.0 billion;
 • Our $4.6 billion interest in Oaktree which increased from approximately 68% to approximately 73% ownership interest during the year;
 • Accumulated unrealized carried interest in our mature and new funds of $931 million and $693 million, respectively; and
 • Other investments totaling $1.9 billion.
 During the year, investments increased by $1.6 billion due to the aforementioned increase in our Oaktree ownership, investments made in Castlelake for approximately $489 million excluding contingent consideration, the purchase of a warehoused investment in GEMS Education for approximately $347 million, for which $97 million has been syndicated as at December 31, 2024, and our investment in Pretium of $351 million.
 The investment in BSREP III and carry generated on mature funds are fully attributable to BN through their preferred shares redeemable non-controlling interest and does not impact net income attributable to common stockholders.
 Investments in Consolidated Funds
 Investments in consolidated funds represents certain funds in which the asset management company holds a sufficient interest to require the consolidation of the fund. Investments in these funds are measured at fair value.
 Investments Held for Sale
 Investments held for sale of $242 million relate to a fund acquired in conjunction with our acquisition of Pinegrove Ventures through Pinegrove Venture Partners, our venture investment platform formed with Sequoia Heritage. We expect to monetize this investment for cash in the near term.
 Total liabilities were $3.0 billion as at December 31, 2024, an increase of $141 million or 5% compared to December 31, 2023.

 Accounts Payable and Other, Net
 Accounts payable and other, net primarily consists of accrued bonus compensation, performance and cash-settled share-based compensation. The decrease of $328 million compared to December 31, 2023 reflects annual bonus payments, settlement of certain liability-based awards, and timing of taxes paid during the year. This was partially offset by higher performance and liability-based compensation owed to employees.
 Financial Liabilities
 Financial liabilities of $228 million primarily consists of contingent consideration associated with our investment in Castlelake and the mark-to-market of derivatives associated with put options on certain of our investments. The increase of $106 million compared to December 31, 2023 reflects the recognition of contingent consideration and put options associated with investments made during the year, and mark-to-market movements of a put option held by third parties to sell additional interests in Primary Wave to the Asset Management Company. This was partially offset by the mark-to-market of a put option held by third parties associated with our investment in Oaktree.
 Due to Affiliates
 Due to affiliates of $1.1 billion reflects amounts owed to affiliates. The increase of $106 million or 11% relative to December 31, 2023 was the result of a new related party loan to fund a warehoused investment, and higher share-based compensation owed to related parties. This was partially offset by the repayment of BAM's credit facility with BN and payments on certain of our loans payable to related parties.
 Non-Recourse Borrowings of Consolidated Funds
 Non-recourse borrowings in consolidated funds represents borrowings used to finance investments within certain of our funds where the asset management company is required to consolidate the fund due to our economic interest. These borrowings are non-recourse to the asset management business and may fluctuate with the timing of new investments.
 Preferred Shares Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
 Our asset management business recognizes carried interest generated and associated carried interest allocation expense on mature funds within our Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. As the net carried interest generated on mature funds is all attributable to BN, this balance primarily represents the accumulated unrealized carried interest, net of carried interest allocation expense and taxes on mature funds owing to BN.
 Preferred shares redeemable non-controlling interest was $2.1 billion as at December 31, 2024, a decrease of $63 million compared to $2.2 billion as at December 31, 2023. This movement was due to a decrease in unrealized carried interest on mature funds during the year, partially offset by redeemable preferred share issuances to BN and BAM.
 Non-Controlling Interest
 Non-controlling interest was $336 million as at December 31, 2024, an increase of $163 million compared to $173 million as at December 31, 2023. This increase was primarily due to carried interest generated by new funds that is owed to BN, non-controlling interests associated with our equity-settled share-based compensation and other non-controlling interests associated with various entities within our asset management business.

 Operating Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM generated operating cashflows of $627 million primarily attributable to the share of income from its investment in the Asset Management Company. During the year ended December 31, 2023, BAM's operating cashflows were $508 million. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to the higher ownership interest held by BAM in the Asset Management Company as well as the impact of the annual dividend increase by the Asset Management Company of 19%.
 Investing Activities
 Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $41 million during the year ended December 31, 2024, and $41 million in the prior year. The activity in both years primarily reflects the purchase of an option to acquire additional shares of the Asset Management Company.
 Financing Activities
 Net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $583 million, primarily attributed to the distributions paid to BAM's shareholders. These outflows were partially offset by prepayments of certain share-based compensation from the Asset Management Company. During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $459 million, primarily attributed to distributions paid to BAM's shareholders and share repurchases, partially offset by draws on our revolving credit facility with the Asset Management Company and prepayments received for certain of our share-based compensation programs.
 For the year ended December 31, 2023 and period ended December 31, 2022
 Operating Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, BAM's operating activities generated positive cashflows of $508 million primarily attributable to the share of income driven from its investment in the Asset Management Company. During the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022, BAM's operating cash outflows were $2 million.
 Investing Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $41 million, primarily reflecting the purchase of an option to acquire additional shares of the Asset Management Company.
 Financing Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $459 million, primarily attributed to the distributions paid to BAM's shareholders and share buybacks. These outflows were partially offset by cash drawn on the credit facility between BAM and the Asset Management Company.
 During the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022, net cash inflows from financing activities totaled $3 million, primarily attributed to movements of loan balances from an affiliate of BN as a result of the 2022 Arrangement and share subscriptions of BN. These inflows were partially offset by share repurchases.

 Operating Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Asset Management Company's operating activities generated cash inflows of $1.9 billion, compared to cash inflows of $1.4 billion in the prior year. The increase in operating cash flows compared to the prior year was primarily driven by higher cash generated from growth of our asset management business, partially offset by settlement of amounts due to related parties and working capital outlays.
 Investing Activities
 Net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $2.0 billion, compared to outflows of $475 million in the prior year. The increase from the prior year was primarily due to the closing of our strategic investment in Castlelake for $489 million, a minority position in Pretium for $351 million, and a net cash outflow associated with the acquisition of a warehoused investment in GEMS Education for $249 million. In addition, the acquisition of Pinegrove Ventures along with a related wholly-owned fund for $258 million, our incremental investment in Oaktree, and $251 million of investment acquisitions within our consolidated funds further added to current year outflows. This increase in outflows were partially offset by higher dispositions of investment assets and lower net advances to related parties in the current year.
 Financing Activities
 Net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $2.1 billion, compared to outflows of $1.8 billion in the prior year. The increase in outflows were primarily due to a 19% increase in dividends compared to the prior year and the settlement of our revolving credit facility with BN. The increase in outflows were partially offset by non-recourse borrowings within our consolidated funds and the issuance of a related party loan for the acquisition of a warehoused investment.
 For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
 Operating Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Asset Management Company's operating activities generated positive cashflows of $1.4 billion, compared to cash outflows of $374 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. Excluding the net change in working capital and other non-cash operating items, operating cash inflows were $2.1 billion, representing an increase of $76 million or 4% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily driven by the impact of the 2022 Arrangement.
 Investing Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash outflows from investing activities totaled $475 million compared to inflows of $1.7 billion in the year ended December 31, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2023 investing activity primarily consists of the purchase of the incremental 4% ownership interest in Oaktree and advances provided to BAM on its credit facility. The year ended December 31, 2022 investing activity inflow was predominantly driven by the disposition of financial assets as part of the 2022 Arrangement.
 Financing Activities
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, net cash outflows from financing activities totaled $1.8 billion, compared to outflows of $280 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The year ended December 31, 2023 primarily consists of distributions to shareholders of $2.1 billion, partially offset by borrowings from related parties of $197 million. The year ended December 31, 2022 outflows were primarily as a result of distributions to parent, distributions to redeemable non-controlling interests and capital borrowings, partially offset by inflows from contributions from the parent.

 Key Financial and Operating Measures
 BAM and the Asset Management Company prepare their financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. This report discloses a number of non-GAAP financial and supplemental financial measures which are utilized in monitoring our asset management business, including for performance measurement, capital allocation and valuation purposes. BAM believes that providing these performance measures is helpful to investors in assessing the overall performance of our asset management business. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as the sole measure of BAM's or our asset management business' performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, similar financial measures calculated in conformity with U.S. GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized financial measures and may not be comparable to similar financial measures used by other issuers. The asset management business includes the asset management activities of Oaktree, an equity accounted affiliate, in its key financial and operating measures for our asset management business. See "Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures", in this report.

 Non-GAAP Measures Utilized by Our Asset Management Business
 Fee Revenues is a key metric analyzed by management to determine the growth in recurring cash flows from our asset management business. Fee Revenues include base management fees, incentive distributions, performance fees and transaction fees. Fee Revenues exclude carried interest and revenues of consolidated funds, but include Fee Revenues earned by Oaktree. The most directly comparable measure of Fee Revenues disclosed in the financial statements is base management and advisory fees. See "Part II—Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" for our reconciliation of Fee Revenues.
 Fee-Related Earnings
 Fee-Related Earnings is used to provide additional insight into the operating profitability of our asset management activities. Fee-Related Earnings are recurring in nature and not based on future realization events. Fee-Related Earnings is comprised of Fee Revenues less direct costs associated with earning those fees, which include employee compensation and professional fees as well as business related technology costs, and other shared services costs. Fee-Related Earnings exclude revenues and expenses of consolidated funds. The most directly comparable measure of Fee-Related Earnings disclosed in the primary financial statements is net income. See "Part II—Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" for our reconciliation of Fee-Related Earnings.
 Distributable Earnings
 BAM intends to pay out approximately 90% of its Distributable Earnings to shareholders quarterly and reinvest the balance back into the business. The asset management business intends to pay dividends to BAM on a quarterly basis sufficient to ensure that BAM can pay its intended dividend.
 Distributable Earnings used by our asset management business provides insight into earnings that are available for distribution or to be reinvested by our asset management business. It is calculated as the sum of its Fee-Related Earnings, realized carried interest, returns from our corporate cash and financial assets, interest expense, cash taxes, and general and administrative expenses excluding equity-based compensation expenses. The most directly comparable measure disclosed in the primary financial statements of our asset management business for Distributable Earnings is net income. See "Part II—Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures" for our reconciliation of Distributable Earnings.

 Supplemental Financial Measures Utilized by Our Asset Management Business
 Assets Under Management
 AUM refers to the total fair value of assets managed, calculated as follows:
 • Investments that Brookfield, which includes BN, the asset management business, or their affiliates, either:
 Consolidates for accounting purposes (generally, investments in respect of which Brookfield has a significant economic interest and unilaterally directs day-to-day operating, investing and financing activities), or
 Does not consolidate for accounting purposes but over which Brookfield has significant influence by virtue of one or more attributes (e.g., being the largest investor in the investment, having the largest representation on the investment's

 governance body, being the primary manager and/or operator of the investment, and/or having other significant influence attributes),
 Are calculated at 100% of the total fair value of the investment taking into account its full capital structure — equity and debt — on a gross asset value basis, even if Brookfield does not own 100% of the investment, with the exception of investments held through our perpetual funds, which are calculated at its proportionate economic share of the investment's net asset value.
 • All other investments are calculated at Brookfield's proportionate economic share of the total fair value of the investment taking into account its full capital structure — equity and debt — on a gross asset value basis.
 Our methodology for determining AUM differs from the methodology that is employed by other alternative asset managers as well as the methodology for calculating regulatory AUM that is prescribed for certain regulatory filings (e.g., Form ADV and Form PF).
 Fee-Bearing Capital represents the capital committed, pledged, or invested in our permanent capital vehicles, private funds and liquid strategies that we manage which entitles us to earn Fee Revenues. Fee-Bearing Capital includes both called ("invested") and uncalled ("pledged" or "committed") amounts.
 When reconciling period amounts, we utilize the following definitions:
 • Inflows include capital commitments and contributions to our private and liquid strategies funds, and equity issuances from the permanent capital vehicles.
 • Outflows represent distributions and redemptions of capital from within the liquid strategies capital.
 • Distributions represent quarterly distributions from the permanent capital vehicles as well as returns of committed capital (excluding market valuation adjustments), redemptions and expiry of uncalled commitments within our private funds.
 • Market valuation includes gains (losses) on portfolio investments, the permanent capital vehicles and liquid strategies based on market prices.
 • Other includes changes in net non-recourse leverage included in the determination of the permanent capital vehicle capitalizations and the impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on non-U.S. dollar commitments.
 Uncalled Fund Commitments
 Total Uncalled Fund Commitments includes capital callable from fund investors, including funds outside of their investment period, for which capital is callable for follow-on investments.

 Fee-Bearing Capital Diversification
 AS AT DEC 31 (BILLIONS)

 As of December 31, 2024, we managed approximately $262 billion of Fee-Bearing Capital across a diverse range of long-term private funds that target opportunistic (20%+, gross), value-add (15%-16%, gross), core and core plus (9%-13%, gross) returns. These funds are generally closed-end and have a long duration, typically committed for 10 years with 2 one-year extension options.
 On these products, we earn:
 • Diversified and long-term base management fees, typically on committed capital or invested capital, depending on the nature of the fund and where the fund is in its life,
 • Transaction and advisory fees on co-investment capital that we raise and deploy alongside our long-term private funds, which vary based on transaction agreements, and
 • Carried interest or performance fees, which entitle us to a portion of overall fund profits, provided that investors receive a minimum prescribed preferred return. Carried interest is typically paid towards the end of the life of a fund after capital has been returned to investors and may be subject to "clawback" until all investments have been monetized and minimum investment returns are sufficiently assured. BN is entitled to receive 33.3% of the carried interest on new sponsored funds of our asset management business and will retain all of the carried interest earned on our existing mature funds.
 Permanent Capital and Perpetual Strategies
 As of December 31, 2024, we managed approximately $209 billion of Fee-Bearing Capital across our permanent capital vehicles, perpetual core, and core plus private funds.
 On these products, we earn:
 • Long-term perpetual base management fees, which are based on the market capitalization or net asset value of our permanent capital vehicles and on the net asset value of our perpetual private funds.

 • Stable incentive distribution fees from BEP and BIP, which are linked to the growth in cash distributions paid to investors above a predetermined hurdle. Both BEP and BIP have a long-standing track record of growing distributions annually within their target range of 5-9%.
 • Performance fees from BBU are based on unit price performance above a prescribed high-water mark price, which are not subject to clawback, as well as carried interest on our perpetual private funds.
 Liquid Strategies
 As of December 31, 2024, we managed approximately $68 billion of Fee-Bearing Capital across our liquid strategies, which included capital that we manage on behalf of our publicly listed funds and separately managed accounts, with a focus on fixed income and equity securities across real estate, infrastructure, and natural resources.
 On these products, we earn:
 • Base management fees, which are based on committed capital or fund net asset value, and
 • Performance income based on investment returns above a minimum prescribed return.

 Fee-Bearing Capital was $539 billion as at December 31, 2024 compared to $457 billion as at December 31, 2023. The increase of $81.5 billion, or 18% was primarily attributable to fundraising and capital deployments across our strategies, including our fifth real estate flagship fund, the second vintage of our global transition fund, and follow-on investments in earlier vintages of certain of our flagship funds. The AEL Mandate resulted in $49 billion of inflows of Fee-Bearing Capital, as well as annuity-related inflows and other insurance capital generated in BWS also added to our Fee-Bearing Capital. In addition, Fee-Bearing Capital increased due to the higher market valuations attributable to higher trading prices of BIP and BBU, and our strategic investments in Castlelake and Pinegrove Ventures completed during the year. These increases were partially offset by the lower market capitalization of BEP, lower net asset value of BPG, distributions to our clients, and outflows due to redemptions within our liquid and perpetual strategies.
 Fee-Bearing Capital was $457 billion as at December 31, 2023 compared to $418 billion as at December 31, 2022. The increase of $39 billion was primarily attributable to fundraising and capital deployments across our strategies, including our fifth real estate and infrastructure flagship funds, and our sixth private equity flagship fund. Inflows within our credit strategy were due to capital deployed within our closed-end funds and other investments in BWS. The overall increase of Fee-Bearing Capital was partially offset by distributions to our clients and outflows due to redemptions within our credit funds and liquid strategies.

 1.Base management fees and direct costs are presented on a 100% basis. Base management fees and direct costs for Oaktree totaled $955 million and $660 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 (2023 – $897 million and $618 million, respectively). Refer to Note 3 "Investments" of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements for additional disclosures related to Oaktree revenues, expenses, and net income.
 2.Direct costs include compensation expense, other operating expenses and general, administrative, and other expenses, and related Oaktree direct costs at 100%.
 3.Fee-Related Earnings include Oaktree's Fee-Related Earnings at our approximate 73% ownership interest (December 31, 2023 – 68%).
 4.This adjustment adds back equity-based compensation and other income associated with the Asset Management Company's portion of partly owned subsidiaries' investment income, realized carried interest, interest income received and charges paid on related party loans, and other income.
 Fee Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 were $4.7 billion, an increase of $325 million or 7% compared to the prior year. This increase was predominantly due to an increase in base management fees of $277 million or 7%, driven by incremental fees in credit as a result of earnings from our strategic partnerships. Fee Revenues also increased from capital raised in BWS, capital deployed across our credit strategies, higher market capitalization of BBU, the AEL Mandate, and higher net asset values in certain of our credit funds. In addition, fees earned from fundraising across the latest vintages of our flagship funds over the last twelve months also generated incremental Fee Revenues, specifically our fifth real estate and infrastructure flagship funds, the second vintage of our global transition fund, and the sixth vintage of our private equity flagship fund. These increases in base management fees were partially offset by lower fees from our listed permanent capital vehicles due to a decrease in the net asset value of BPG and lower market capitalization of BIP, and the end of investment periods in certain of our older vintage funds.
 Incentive distributions increased by $46 million or 12% as a result of an increase in BEP and BIP's quarterly dividend over the prior year of 5% and 6%, respectively.
 Direct costs increased by $122 million or 6% from the prior year as we continue to scale our asset management business.
 Distributable Earnings were $2.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $119 million compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by higher Fee-Related Earnings and higher investment income in certain of our strategic investments, partially offset by a decrease in other income due to lower interest earned on our deposit with BN and higher cash taxes on Fee-Related Earnings.
 For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
 Fee Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $4.4 billion, an increase of $333 million or 8% compared to prior year. This increase was predominantly due to an increase in base management fees of $336 million or 9%, driven by fees earned from fundraising for our latest infrastructure, real estate and private equity flagship funds and incremental fees earned in our credit platform as a result of capital deployed across our opportunistic credit funds. In addition, fees from our perpetual strategy increased due to the increase in net asset values of underlying assets. The increase in base management fees was partially offset by lower fees from our listed permanent capital vehicles due to decreases in market capitalizations.
 Incentive distributions increased by $43 million or 13% as a result of an increase in BEP and BIP's quarterly dividend over the prior year of 5% and 6%, respectively.
 Direct costs increased by $222 million or 12% from the prior year as we continue to scale our asset management business and higher equity-based compensation.

 Distributable Earnings were $2.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2023, an increase of $148 million or 7% compared to the prior year. The increase was driven by higher Fee-Related Earnings and higher equity-based compensation costs and other income of $113 million, primarily driven by higher interest income on our deposit with BN. The overall increase in Distributable Earnings was partially offset by an increase in Cash taxes of $98 million due to higher Fee-Related Earnings.

 During the year ended December 31, 2024, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $5.5 billion or 10% to $58 billion. This increase was driven by fundraising for the second vintage of our global transition fund, capital deployments across our fund strategies, as well as inflows from BEP's issuance of medium term and perpetual green subordinated notes. These increases were partially offset by distributions to BEP's unitholders and limited partners of our permanent and long-term private funds and the lower market capitalization of BEP due to the decrease in its share price. Additionally, Fee-Bearing Capital decreased due to the end of the investment period in one of our earlier vintage funds during the year.
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $6.0 billion or 13% to $52 billion. This increase was driven by inflows attributable to fundraising for the second vintage of our global transition fund, capital deployments across our fund strategies, as well as BEP's $650 million equity offering in the second quarter of 2023. In addition, the market capitalization of BEP increased due to an increase in its share price during the year. These increases were partially offset by distributions paid to BEP's unitholders and limited partners of our long-term private funds.

 Fee Revenues increased by $47 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 relative to the year ended December 31, 2023. Incentive distributions from BEP increased by $17 million due to a 5% increase in distributions compared to the prior period. Fees from our perpetual strategies increased $10 million predominantly due to fundraising from co-investors in certain of our perpetual funds. In addition, higher management fees and transaction fees were earned on the second vintage of our global transition fund, and other follow-on investments during the year. These increases were partially offset by lower fees earned from co-investment capital in our long-term private funds.
 Fee Revenues increased by $19 million, or 3% for the year ended December 31, 2023 relative to the year ended December 31, 2022. Fees from our long-term private funds increased $29 million relative to the prior year due to an increase in fees earned on our first global transition fund, which benefitted from a full year of fee revenues from 2022 fundraising, as well as an increase in fundraising and capital deployments across our other private funds. Incentive distributions from BEP increased by $17 million, due to a 5% increase in distributions compared to the prior year. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in perpetual strategy fees of $31 million predominantly due to lower fees earned from BEP resulting from a decrease in its average market capitalization relative to the prior year.

 During the year ended December 31, 2024, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $2.4 billion or 3% to $97 billion. This increase was predominantly due to the higher market capitalization of BIP due to the increase in its share price, fundraising for co-investments alongside our fifth flagship fund as well as capital deployed and valuation increases across our perpetual strategies. These increases were partially offset by the end of the investment period of our fourth flagship fund, distributions paid to BIP unitholders, and distributions paid to limited partners in our long-term private funds and perpetual strategies.
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $11.9 billion or 14% to $95 billion. This increase was predominantly due to capital raised for our fifth flagship fund, as well as capital deployed for follow-on investments within our third flagship fund. Additionally, Fee-Bearing Capital increased as a result of debt issuances from BIP, follow-on investments within our other perpetual and long-term strategies, and an increase in market valuations as a result of a higher market capitalization of BIP and other perpetual strategies. These increases were partially offset by distributions paid to limited partners in our long-term private funds and to BIP and other unitholders across our permanent capital vehicles.

 1.BIP Fee-Bearing Capital as at December 31, 2024 is $31.9 billion (December 31, 2023 – $31.2 billion; December 31, 2022 – $29.2 billion).
 Fee Revenues decreased by $14 million or 1% for the year ended December 31, 2024 relative to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was driven by one-time catch-up fees and transaction and advisory fees in the prior year and lower fees earned from BIP due to a lower average market capitalization in the current year. This was partially offset by higher Fee Revenues from an increase in incentive distributions of $29 million predominantly due to a 6% increase in BIP's quarterly dividend, as well as capital raised and deployed by certain of our perpetual strategies.
 Fee Revenues increased by $171 million or 16% for the year ended December 31, 2023 relative to the year ended December 31, 2022. Fees from our long-term private funds increased by $95 million primarily due to capital raised for our fifth flagship fund. Fee Revenues from our perpetual strategies increased by $24 million, driven by capital deployed, partially offset by lower fees earned from BIP due to a lower average market capitalization compared to the prior year. Catch-up fees increased by $35 million due to follow on closes for our fifth flagship fund and incentive distributions increased by $26 million due to an increase in BIP's quarterly dividend. The increases were partially offset by a decrease of $9 million of transaction and advisory fees as the prior year benefited from higher fees on co-investment transactions.

 During the year ended December 31, 2024, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $185 million to $94 billion. This increase was predominantly due to inflows attributable to fundraising within our fifth flagship fund, follow-on investments in our third flagship fund, and equity issuances in BPG. Additional closes and capital deployed across various other fund strategies also contributed to our Fee-Bearing Capital. These increases were partially offset by distributions from our permanent and perpetual strategies, flagship and other private funds. Additionally, Fee-Bearing Capital for BPG and certain long-term and perpetual strategies decreased due to a net decline in valuations.
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fee-Bearing Capital decreased by $2.2 billion or 2% to $93 billion, predominantly due to distributions from our perpetual strategies, flagship and other private funds. Additionally, our long-term private funds Fee-Bearing Capital decreased due to the change in the fee base of one of our flagship funds from committed capital to invested capital as a result of the end of its commitment period. Our permanent capital vehicles and perpetual strategies decreased due to a decline in the market valuation of certain assets. These decreases were partially offset by inflows attributable to fundraising within our fifth flagship fund, follow-on investments in our third flagship fund, and capital deployed across various other fund strategies.

 During the year ended December 31, 2024, Fee Revenues increased by $48 million or 5% relative to the year ended December 31, 2023. This was primarily from fees earned from our long-term private funds, driven by fundraising and catch-up fees for our fifth flagship fund and follow-on investments in our third flagship fund. These increases were partially offset by lower net asset values in certain of our perpetual strategies and long-term private funds.
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fee Revenues increased by $49 million or 6% due to the increase in revenues earned from fundraising for our fifth flagship fund and commitments throughout 2022 to our fourth flagship fund. In addition, fees increased from capital invested in our residential, U.S., and other fund investments. These increases were partially offset by catch-up fees recognized on our fourth flagship fund in the prior year and a decrease in fees earned by our perpetual vehicle due to the decrease in Fee-Bearing Capital of BPG as well as the disposition of investments within earlier vintages of our flagship funds.

 During the year ended December 31, 2024, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $6.3 billion or 16% to $45 billion. The increase was primarily driven by our acquisition of Pinegrove Ventures, and capital deployments and fundraising for co-investments in certain of our long-term private funds. In addition, growth of Fee-Bearing Capital was attributable to the higher market capitalization of BBU as a result of an increase in its share price. These increases were partially offset by distributions from other long-term strategies.
 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fee-Bearing Capital decreased by $467 million or 1% to $39 billion. The expiration of the management fee period of a mature flagship fund and distributions to our investors was partially offset by inflows of $4.4 billion for our long-term private funds. This was largely driven by capital raised for our sixth flagship private equity fund and capital deployed across other strategies.

 1.BBU Fee-Bearing Capital as at December 31, 2024 was $8.1 billion (December 31, 2023 – $5.6 billion; December 31, 2022 – $7.8 billion).
 Fee Revenues decreased by $5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 relative to the year ended December 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily due to the end of the investment period for our fifth flagship fund, realizations and returns of capital in our fourth flagship fund, and catch-up fees recognized in the prior period related to our sixth flagship fund. These decreases were partially offset by capital raised for our sixth flagship fund, higher market capitalization of BBU, capital deployed across several of our other funds, and higher transaction fees related to certain of our long-term private funds.
 Fee Revenues increased by $41 million or 9% for the year ended December 31, 2023 relative to the year ended December 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to capital raised for our sixth flagship fund which experienced a $59 million increase in Fee Revenues and catch up fees attributable to the timing of fundraising. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in fees earned within our other funds due to the end of the management fee period for certain earlier vintage funds.

 During the year ended December 31, 2024, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $67.1 billion or 38% to $245 billion, primarily due to the AEL Mandate, resulting in $49 billion of inflows of Fee-Bearing Capital. BWS also contributed inflows of insurance-related capital.
 Inflows of Fee-Bearing Capital also included our investment in Castlelake, capital deployed in our Oaktree credit, liquid credit, and other platform credit funds, as well as valuation gains in certain Oaktree liquid credit funds. These increases were partially offset by annuity-related outflows in BWS, redemptions in our liquid and perpetual strategies, and returns of capital within our Oaktree, infrastructure, and real estate debt strategies.

 During the year ended December 31, 2023, Fee-Bearing Capital increased by $24 billion or 16% to $178 billion, due to growth across all strategies. The increase in our long-term private funds was driven by deployments within our eleventh and twelfth flagship opportunistic credit funds, and capital deployed in certain of our debt funds. In addition, our perpetual strategies increased primarily due to capital deployments and inflows from BWS as well as higher market valuations in our liquid strategy and open-end credit portfolios. This overall increase was partially offset by redemptions adversely impacting our liquid strategies.

 Fee Revenues increased by $249 million or 21% for the year ended December 31, 2024 relative to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was attributable to incremental fees earned on our perpetual strategies and long-term private funds. Fees from perpetual strategies increased by $134 million as a result of higher Fee-Bearing Capital driven by the AEL Mandate, and capital deployed across these strategies. In addition, fees from our long-term private funds increased due to deployments across our credit flagship and other debt funds and higher fees earned from our strategic partnerships.
 Fee Revenues increased by $53 million or 5% for the year ended December 31, 2023 relative to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was predominately attributable to incremental fees earned on our long-term private funds and perpetual strategies. Fees from our long-term private funds increased due to deployments across our credit flagship and other debt funds. In addition, fees from perpetual strategies increased by $60 million as a result of higher Fee-Bearing Capital driven by valuation increases and capital deployed across these strategies. These increases were partially offset by a $32 million decrease in our liquid strategies due to redemptions.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 Liquidity
 BAM undertakes limited activities, primarily receiving dividends from our asset management business as its main source of income and, in turn, making distributions to shareholders in accordance with its dividend policy. It employs a limited number of resources which provide services to our asset management business and for whom associated costs are largely reimbursed. Additional liquidity is available through a credit facility that is provided by our asset management business.
 BAM Credit Facility with the Asset Management Company
 On November 8, 2022, the Asset Management Company, as lender, established a five-year revolving credit facility with BAM for the amount of $500 million. This is available in U.S. and Canadian dollars, where U.S. dollar borrowings are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 165 basis points, and Canadian Dollar borrowings are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a margin of 165 basis points. As at December 31, 2024, BAM has drawn $219 million from this credit facility.

 Our Asset Management Business Liquidity
 Our asset management business maintains sufficient liquidity at all times, enabling it to participate in opportunities as they arise, withstand sudden adverse changes in economic conditions, and sustain distributions to BAM and BN. Its primary sources of liquidity, which we refer to as corporate liquidity, consist of cash, short-term financial assets, as well as the undrawn portions of the $300 million revolving credit facility established on November 8, 2022, with BN as lender, and a $750 million five-year revolving credit facility established on August 29, 2024 through bilateral agreements with a group of lenders. Both facilities are available in U.S. and Canadian dollars. U.S. dollar draws from the $300 million facility are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 165 basis points, while Canadian dollar draws are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or CORRA plus a margin of 165 basis points. U.S. dollar draws from the $750 million facility are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 110 basis points, while Canadian dollar draws are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or CORRA plus a margin of 110 basis points. As at December 31, 2024 both the $300 million and the $750 million facilities are undrawn.
 As at December 31, 2024, corporate liquidity for our asset management business is $1.8 billion. This consists of $792 million in cash and short term financial assets, including cash on deposit with BN and investments that are convertible to cash within twelve months, as well as $1.1 billion in undrawn credit facilities. This liquidity can be deployed for use without any material tax consequences to support our asset management business in funding strategic transactions as well as seeding new investment products.

 Approximately $53 billion of the Uncalled Fund Commitments are currently not earning fees, but will become fee-bearing once the capital is invested. Once invested, we expect these commitments will earn approximately $530 million of additional Fee Revenues.

 Capital Resources
 Clawback Obligations
 Performance allocations are subject to clawback to the extent that the performance allocations received to date with respect to a fund exceeding the amount due to our asset management business based on cumulative results of that fund. The amounts and nature of our clawback obligations are described in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Asset Management Company as at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, and for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.
 Capital Requirements
 Certain U.S. and non-U.S. entities of BAM are subject to various investment advisor and other financial regulatory rules and requirements that may include minimum net capital requirements. These requirements have been met for the year ended December 31, 2024.

 Contractual Obligations
 On January 31, 2019, a subsidiary of the Company committed $2.8 billion to BSREP III, of which $2.1 billion has been funded as at December 31, 2024 (December 31, 2023 – $2.1 billion). The remainder of the commitment will be funded by BN.
 In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contractual obligations which include commitments to provide bridge financing and other equity commitments. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had $3.3 billion of such commitments outstanding (2023 – $ 2.1 billion).
 The Company established a $750 million five-year revolving credit facility on August 29, 2024 through bilateral agreements with a group of lenders. The facility is available in U.S. and Canadian dollars, where U.S. dollar draws are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 110 basis points, while Canadian dollar draws are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or CORRA plus a margin of 110 basis points. As at December 31, 2024, the Company has not made any draws on the $750 million facility.

Lease obligations represent expected payments associated with current leases entered into by the Company.

 Exposures to Financial Instruments
 As discussed elsewhere in this report, we utilize various financial instruments in our business to manage risk and make better use of our capital. The fair values of these instruments that are reflected on our balance sheets are disclosed in Note 5 "Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments" to our Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Asset Management Company as at December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022.

 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 BAM may from time to time enter into guarantees given in respect of co-investments in which there is carried interest. The amount guaranteed is up to the carry amount paid to the General Partner, net of taxes. No known amounts are currently due or owed under these guarantees.

 Related Party Transactions
 BAM and our asset management business entered into a number of related party transactions with BN and other affiliates. See Note 17 "Related Party Transactions" of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements of the Asset Management Company and Note 7 "Related Party Transactions" of the Consolidated Financial Statements of BAM as at December 31, 2024, and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022.

 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 Critical Accounting Policies, Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements of BAM
 BAM prepares consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported. Management believes that estimates utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are presented fairly, in all material respects. Such estimates include those used in the valuation of investments and the measurement of deferred tax balances (including valuation allowances) and the determination of control or significant influence. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. BAM believes the following critical accounting policies could potentially produce materially different results of BAM, if underlying assumptions, estimates and/or judgments were to be changed. For a full description of accounting policies, see Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" of the Consolidated Financial Statements of BAM as at December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022.
 All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 Equity Method Investments
 Investments in which BAM is deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. BAM has significant influence over the Asset Management Company and therefore accounts for its investment under the equity method.
 The carrying value of equity method investments is determined based on amounts invested by BAM, adjusted for the equity in earnings or losses of the investee allocated based on the relevant agreements, less distributions received. Further, the carrying value of the equity method investment is adjusted as a result of any share-based awards granted by BAM to employees of the Asset Management Company. Under the equity method of accounting, BAM's share of earnings from equity investments is included in the share of income from equity investments in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. BAM evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
 Refer to Note 3 "Investments" of the Consolidated Financial Statements of BAM for further details of BAM's equity method investments.

 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements of BAM
 Management is required to make critical judgements and estimates when applying its accounting policies. The following judgements and estimates have the most significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
 Control or Level of Influence
 When determining the appropriate basis of accounting for BAM's and the asset management business' investees, BAM makes judgments about the degree of influence that it exerts directly or through an arrangement over the investees' relevant activities. This may include the ability to elect investee directors or appoint management. Control is obtained when BAM has the power to direct the relevant investing, financing and operating decisions of an entity and does so in its capacity as principal of the operations, rather than as an agent for other investors. Operating as a principal includes having sufficient capital at risk in any investee and exposure to the variability of the returns generated as a result of the decisions of BAM as principal. Judgment is used in determining the sufficiency of the capital at risk or variability of returns. In making these judgments, BAM considers the ability of other investors to remove BAM as a manager or general partner in a controlled partnership.
 Indicators of Impairment
 Judgment is applied when determining whether indicators of impairment exist when assessing the carrying values of BAM ULC's assets, including: the determination of BAM's ability to hold financial assets; the determination of discount and capitalization rates; and when an asset's carrying value is above the value derived using publicly traded prices which are quoted in a liquid market.
 Income Taxes
 BAM makes judgments when determining the future tax rates applicable and identifying the temporary differences. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply during the year when the assets are realized or the liabilities settled, using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated balance sheet dates.

 Carried Interest Allocations - Unrealized
 The change in the fair value of investments is a significant input into carried interest allocations - unrealized. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds. See "Fair Value" below for further discussion related to significant estimates and assumptions used for determining fair value of the underlying investments.
 The asset management business uses fair value throughout the reporting process. For details of our accounting policies related to fair value refer to Note 2. "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Fair Value of Financial Instruments" and "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition" in the "Notes to Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements". The following discussion is intended to provide supplemental information about how the application of fair value principles impact our financial results, and management's process for implementing those principles including areas of significant judgment.
 The fair value of the investments held by the asset management business's funds is the primary input to the calculation of certain of our management fees, incentive fees, performance fees and the related compensation we recognize. In the absence of observable market prices, we utilize valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis and assumptions that we believe market participants would use to determine the fair value of the investments. For investments where little market activity exists management's determination of fair value is based on the best information available in the circumstances, which may incorporate management's own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, and the consideration of a combination of internal and external factors, including the appropriate risk adjustments for non-performance and liquidity risks.
 Management has elected the fair value option for certain equity method investments. Additionally, management is required to measure specific financial instruments at fair value, including debt instruments, equity securities, and freestanding derivatives.
 Our primary approach to determining the fair value of our investments is generally the income approach, which estimates fair value based on the present value of expected future cash flows generated by a business. The most commonly used method within this approach is the discounted cash flow method, which incorporates key assumptions about the investment's projected net earnings or cash flows, discount rate, capitalization rate, and exit multiple.
 Alternatively, management uses the market approach as a secondary methodology. This approach primarily relies on valuations of comparable public companies, transactions, or assets, requiring judgment in selecting appropriate comparables. Depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the investment, alternative primary and secondary methodologies may be applied, including option value, contingent claims or scenario analysis, yield analysis, projected cash flow through maturity or expiration, discount to sale, probability-weighted methods, or recent financing rounds.

 Assessments and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 Management has evaluated the effectiveness of BAM's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws) as of December 31, 2024 and based on that assessment concluded that, as of December 31, 2024, our internal control over financial reporting was effective. Refer to "Part II—Item 9A. Controls and Procedures—Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting." There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter or year ended December 31, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 Management, including the CEO and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of BAM's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the applicable U.S. and Canadian securities laws) as of December 31, 2024. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2024.

 ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 Quantitative and Qualitative Risk Disclosures
 BAM has limited activities and operations. BAM's exposure to market, foreign currency, interest rate and credit risk is driven by its equity interest in our asset management business. There have been no material changes to BAM's financial risk exposure or risk management activities since December 31, 2023. Please refer to Item 1A of this report for a detailed description of BAM's financial risk exposure and risk management activities.

 Market Risk
 The primary market risk exposure of our asset management business relates to its role as an asset manager of the publicly listed permanent capital vehicles and the sensitivity of base management fees earned from these affiliates due to movements in their underlying trading price. Specifically, with respect to the market risk related to base management fees earned based on the market capitalization of BEP, BIP and BBU.

 The table below outlines the impact to base management and advisory fee revenues if there was a 10% decline in the market capitalization of the aforementioned permanent capital vehicles:

 2024
 2023
 2022

 BEP
 $

 $

 BIP

 BBU

 Foreign Currency Risk
 We have very limited exposure to foreign currency risk as a majority of our private funds are denominated in USD. This means that a majority of the Fee Revenues that we earn are paid in USD, irrespective of the local currency of our underlying investment base. Additionally, the majority of our revenues are earned in the U.S.

 Interest Rate Risk
 BAM has interest rate exposure through balances held with affiliates and does not hold debt or term deposits with third parties. BAM incurs interest expense on its revolving credit facility borrowings with the Asset Management Company at variable rates. In fiscal 2024, a 50 basis-point increase (or decrease) in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in an approximate increase (or decrease) of $1.1 million in interest expense. Assuming December 31, 2024 year-end balances remain constant throughout 2025, a similar 50 basis-point change in interest rates would result in an approximate increase (or decrease) of $1.1 million in interest expense.
 The Asset Management Company has interest rate exposure through balances held with affiliates, as well as its internal revolving credit facility with BN and its external revolving credit facility which is currently undrawn. The Asset Management Company earns interest income on its deposit balance with BN and as the lender on the revolving credit facility it extends to BAM. The Asset Management Company incurs interest expense on its revolving credit facility borrowings with BN. Interest income and expenses on these balances are at variable rates. In fiscal 2024, a 50 basis-point increase (decrease) in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, would have resulted in an approximate increase (decrease) of $7.4 million in net interest income. A 50 basis-point increase (decrease) in interest rates would result in an approximate increase (decrease) of $1.8 million in net interest income assuming December 31, 2024 year end balances remain constant throughout 2025.

 Credit Risk
 Investors in our private funds make capital commitments to these vehicles via subscription agreements. When a private fund makes an investment, these capital commitments are then satisfied by our investors via capital contributions as prescribed under these subscription agreements. Investors in our private funds may default on their capital commitment obligations, which could have an adverse impact on our earnings or result in other negative implications to our businesses such as the requirement to deploy our own capital to cover such obligations. This impact would be magnified if the investor that does so is in multiple funds. Given the diversity and creditworthiness of our over 2,300 clients, including some of the world's largest institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds and pension plans, we are of the view that there is not a material credit risk present in our asset management business.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.
 Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. and subsidiaries ("BAM") as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, BAM maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.
 We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024, of BAM and our report dated March 17, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
 Basis for Opinion
 BAM's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on BAM's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to BAM in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd.
 Opinion on the Financial Statements
 We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. and subsidiaries ("BAM") as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024 and for the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of BAM as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024 and for the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), BAM's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 17, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on BAM's internal control over financial reporting.
 Basis for Opinion
 These financial statements are the responsibility of BAM's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on BAM's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to BAM in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
 We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 Critical Audit Matter
 The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
 Accounting for Equity Method Investment in Brookfield Asset Management ULC – Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements
 Critical Audit Matter Description
 BAM has an approximate 27% interest in Brookfield Asset Management ULC and the remaining approximate 73% interest is held by Brookfield Corporation. BAM has accounted for its interest in Brookfield Asset Management ULC under the equity method of accounting, as it is deemed to exert significant influence over the investee. The carrying value of the equity method investment is determined based on the amounts invested by BAM, adjusted for the equity in earnings or losses of the investee allocated based on the relevant agreements, less distributions received and impairment losses, if any.
 We identified the accounting for equity method investment as a critical audit matter because of the significance of the equity method investment and earnings impact to BAM's financial statements, which resulted in an increased extent of audit effort.

 How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
 Our audit procedures related to accounting for the equity method investment in Brookfield Asset Management ULC included the following, among others:
 • Tested the effectiveness of controls related to the accounting for the equity method investment in Brookfield Asset Management ULC, which includes management's receipt and review of Brookfield Asset Management ULC financial information;
 • Evaluated significant judgments and estimates at the underlying equity method investment by obtaining and assessing information relating to the audit of Brookfield Asset Management ULC to understand significant judgments and estimates, significant findings or issues identified, actions taken to address them, and conclusions reached;
 • Agreed the underlying information related to the changes in the equity method investment to the audited financial statements of Brookfield Asset Management ULC; and
 • Performed procedures to evaluate subsequent events related to the equity method investment and to assess their impact, if any, on the financial information, up to the date of our auditor's report on BAM's financial statements.

 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. ORGANIZATION
 Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. ("BAM"), through its investment in Brookfield Asset Management ULC ("asset management business", the "Asset Management Company" or the "Company") is an alternative asset manager. BAM is listed on the New York and Toronto stock exchanges under the symbol BAM. BAM was incorporated on July 4, 2022 and its head office is located at Brookfield Place, 250 Vesey Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY, 10281-0221 and its registered office is located at 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.
 On December 9, 2022, Brookfield Corporation ("BN") completed the spin-off of 25 % of its interest in Brookfield Asset Management ULC (the "2022 Arrangement"). BAM was incorporated for the purpose of holding a 25 % interest in Brookfield Asset Management ULC and to facilitate the 2022 Arrangement. As part of the 2022 Arrangement, BN contributed certain indirect wholly-owned asset management subsidiaries to Brookfield Asset Management ULC. The contribution of these entities was considered a common control transaction and was measured at historical cost. Further, BN contributed a 25 % interest of Brookfield Asset Management ULC to BAM, and in exchange, BAM issued securities of BAM to BN's shareholders at that time on a pro-rata basis.
 BAM entered into several agreements and arrangements resulting from the 2022 Arrangement, among which include:
 • The Asset Management Services Agreement (the "AMSA") under which BAM provides the services of its employees and its Chief Executive Officer to Brookfield Asset Management ULC which pays BAM for the services of these individuals on a cost recovery basis. Most of BAM's employees/executives spend their time discharging their duties as officers and employees of BAM and towards responsibilities related to Brookfield Asset Management ULC which include investment, corporate and other services. In addition, at the request of Brookfield Asset Management ULC, BAM may provide options and long term incentive awards to its employees, which will be reimbursed under this agreement. See discussion of the accounting for this agreement in the Operating Recoveries accounting policy in Note 2;
 • The Transitional Services Agreement (the "TSA") pursuant to which (i) Brookfield Asset Management ULC will provide BN and BAM, on a transitional basis, certain services to support day-to-day corporate activities (including services relating to finance, treasury, accounting, legal and regulatory, marketing, communications, human resources, internal audit, information technology), and (ii) BN will provide, on a transitional basis, certain services to Brookfield Asset Management ULC to facilitate the orderly transfer of the asset management business. See discussion of the accounting for this agreement in the Related Parties accounting policy in Note 2; and
 • The Relationship Agreement under which certain employee share-based and performance-based compensation costs are recovered from BN. See discussion of the accounting for this agreement in the Operating Recoveries accounting policy in Note 2.
 On May 2, 2024, Brookfield Wealth Solutions ("BWS") completed the acquisition of the remaining outstanding common stock of American Equity Investment Life Holding Company ("AEL") that it did not already own. In connection with the transaction, BAM issued approximately 28.8 million Class A limited voting shares totaling consideration of $ 1.1 billion to BN in exchange for 28.8 million common shares of the Asset Management Company (the "AEL Mandate"). The AEL Mandate was non-dilutive to BAM Ltd. shareholders and increased BAM's ownership in the Asset Management Company from approximately 25 % to approximately 27 %. This incremental ownership in the Asset Management Company was reflected in our earnings in the period.

 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Basis of Presentation
 The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of BAM have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and are presented in U.S. Dollars. The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below.
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that estimates utilized in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are reasonable. Such estimates include those used in the valuation of investments and the accounting for share-based and performance-based compensation. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material.

 Consolidation
 BAM consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest and all variable interest entities ("VIE") for which it is the primary beneficiary. An enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. BAM determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and upon events warranting reconsideration. In determining whether BAM is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its control rights as well as economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. Investments and redemptions (either by BAM, affiliates of the Company or third parties) and amendments to governing documents could affect an entity's status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary, and management will re-evaluate its assessment as or when such events occur. As at December 31, 2024, BAM is not the primary beneficiary of any VIE.
 All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 Foreign Currency
 In the normal course of business, BAM may enter into transactions not denominated in U.S. Dollars. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising on such transactions are recorded in Net Income. In addition, where BAM consolidates entities that have a non-U.S. Dollar functional currency those non-U.S. Dollar denominated assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. Dollars at the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date and income, expenses, gains and losses are translated at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates that they were recorded. Cumulative translation adjustments arising from the translation of non-U.S. Dollar denominated operations are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income.
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 Cash and cash equivalents represent cash on hand and cash held in banks. Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
 Equity Method Investments
 Investments in which BAM is deemed to exert significant influence, but do not have a controlling financial interest, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. BAM has significant influence over Brookfield Asset Management ULC and therefore accounts for its investment under the equity method.
 The carrying value of equity method investments is determined based on amounts invested by the Company, adjusted for the share of earnings or losses of the investee allocated based on the relevant agreements, less distributions received. Under the equity method of accounting, BAM's share of earnings from equity investments is included in the share of income from equity method investments in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. BAM evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
 When BAM acquires an additional interest in an existing equity method investment, resulting in a step-up in basis, the difference between the purchase price and BAM's proportionate share of the book value of the investee's net assets is identified and allocated to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of the net assets acquired is allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The basis difference is generally amortized over the remaining useful lives of the finite life intangible assets, while any amount allocated to indefinite life intangibles and goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually. The amortization of the basis difference affects BAM's share of the investee's net income or loss and is included in the "Share of income from Brookfield Asset Management ULC" line item in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The amortization periods for the intangible assets to which the basis difference is allocated are consistent with the estimated useful lives of those assets.
 Refer to Note 3 for further details of BAM's equity method investments.
 Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities
 Accounts payable primarily consists of long-term compensation liabilities due to the employees of BAM.
 Other Assets
 Other assets include options to acquire shares of the Company. BAM has elected the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values to be measured at cost minus accumulated impairment, if any. The carrying amount of these investments as of December 31, 2024 was $ 75 million (2023 – $ 40 million). For the year ended December 31, 2024, there has been no downward or upward adjustments made to the carrying amount of these investments due to impairment or observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investment of the same issuer.

 Operating Recoveries
 Operating Recoveries arise from the AMSA between BAM and Brookfield Asset Management ULC and the Relationship Agreement between BAM, Brookfield Asset Management ULC and BN.
 Under the AMSA, recoveries are recognized on a cost recovery basis such that neither party receives financial gain nor suffers financial loss. Income generated under the AMSA relating to these services is recognized as Operating Recoveries in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income on a gross basis as and when the services are performed by BAM.
 Under the Relationship Agreement, certain employee share-based and performance-based compensation costs are recovered from BN. Income generated under the Relationship Agreement relating to these awards is recognized as Operating Recoveries in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income on a gross basis.
 Certain liabilities classified as share-based awards covered by the AMSA and the Relationship Agreement are required to be revalued at each balance sheet date. As a result, where the revaluation results in an increase in the share-based award liability, BN and Brookfield Asset Management ULC will reimburse BAM while conversely, where the revaluation results in a decrease in the share-based award liability, BAM will be responsible for refunding the difference to BN and Brookfield Asset Management ULC.
 Under the TSA, BAM is responsible for the costs of transitional services provided by Brookfield Asset Management ULC and BN. Such costs are recognized as Operating Recoveries in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income when services are performed.
 To the extent that Brookfield Asset Management ULC makes payments to BAM under the AMSA for share-based awards before they vest, such prepayments are recognized by BAM as deferred income included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
 Compensation and Benefits
 Compensation consists of (a) salary and bonus, and benefits paid and payable to employees and (b) share-based compensation associated with the grants of share-based awards to employees of BAM. Compensation costs relating to the issuance of share-based awards to senior management and employees of BAM is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, which measures the equity-classified awards at fair value on the grant date and expenses the awards over the vesting period. Cash settled share-based awards and awards settled in a variable number of shares for a fixed monetary amount are classified as liabilities and are remeasured at the end of each reporting period, with forfeitures recognized as they occur.
 In the normal course of business, BAM issues share-based compensation awards to employees of Brookfield Asset Management ULC. Such awards are accounted for as awards issued to employees of equity method investees under ASC 323 Investments – Equity Method and Joint Ventures. As the awards vest, BAM recognizes the entire cost of the awards as an expense included in share of income from equity method investments, as no proportionate funding by the other investors occurs and BAM does not receive any increase in its relative ownership percentage of Brookfield Asset Management ULC. However, the cost associated with BAM's ownership interest is recognized when BAM recognizes its share of Brookfield Asset Management ULC's earnings. Brookfield Asset Management ULC reimburses BAM for such awards, which BAM recognizes as income included in share of income from equity method investments in the same period as the associated cost of the awards. As such, this arrangement with Brookfield Asset Management ULC has no net impact on BAM's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. To the extent that Brookfield Asset Management ULC reimburses BAM for such awards before they vest, BAM recognizes the reimbursement in additional paid-in capital.
 Refer to Note 5 for further details of BAM's share-based compensation.
 Carried Interest Compensation Expense
 Carried interest is performance-based compensation associated with realized or unrealized carried interest earned on the performance of investments on a fund-by-fund basis. Employees of BAM earn carried interest compensation which is subject to both positive and negative adjustments and recoverable from Brookfield Asset Management ULC and BN under the terms of the ASMA and the Relationship Agreement.
 Related Parties
 In the normal course of operations, BAM enters into various transactions on market terms with related parties, including amounts in Due from/to affiliates. BAM and its subsidiaries may also transact with entities that share a common parent. Amounts owed to and by equity method investments are not eliminated on consolidation. See Note 7 for further detail.
 Dividends
 Dividends are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements when declared.

 Earnings per Share
 BAM uses the two class method to calculate basic and diluted net income per share. Earnings for each period are allocated to participating securities based on the contractual participation rights of the security to share in the current earnings as if all current period earnings had been distributed. Undistributed losses are not allocated to participating securities that do not have a contractual obligation to share in losses.
 Diluted net income per share reflects the impact of dilutive instruments, which are generally determined using the treasury stock method. For potentially dilutive instruments that are also participating securities, the treasury stock method or the two-class method, whichever, produces the more diluted result, is used to determine diluted net income per share.
 Segment Reporting
 We operate as one reportable and operating segment with our primary activity being the management of our investment in the Asset Management Company. ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires the use of the "management approach" to align segment reporting with our internal reporting, and our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), BAM's Chief Executive Officer, manages operations on a consolidated basis and regularly reviews net income as the primary measure for assessing BAM's performance and allocating resources. Asset management decisions are made at the BAM level and deployment of capital decisions are made based on our single operating segment for which the key measure is U.S. GAAP net income and aligned with the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Substantially all of BAM's revenues and assets are recognized and domiciled in North America. Significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to and reviewed by BAM's CODM would be consistent with the consolidated expenses as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The measure of segment assets is reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, as BAM is managed on a consolidated basis.
 Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 BAM considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.
 In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07. ASU 2023-07 intends to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. This is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. BAM adopted this accounting standard effective for the year ended December 31, 2024 and its adoption did not have a material impact on BAM's Consolidated Financial Statements.
 In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose specific information about existing costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements. This ASU is intended to provide users with useful information about expenses critical to understanding an entity's performance. This standard requires that a public business entity disclose key expenses including, but not limited to, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, and associated qualitative disclosures about the nature of expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. BAM is currently assessing the impact of this update.

 3. INVESTMENTS
 BAM has a variable interest in the Company, an unconsolidated VIE. It has been determined that BAM is not the primary beneficiary mainly due to its lack of power to unilaterally make decisions about the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's returns. BAM accounts for its interest in the Company using the equity method of accounting as it has significant influence from its approximate 27 % (2023 – 25 %) equity interest and its ability to appoint two of four directors on the VIE's board.
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM issued 28,803,599 Class A limited voting shares with a fair value of $ 1.1 billion to BN in exchange for 28,803,599 shares of the Asset Management Company. This transaction increased BAM's ownership interest in the Company to approximately 27 %. BAM accounted for the step-up in basis by allocating the excess of the purchase price over the proportionate share of the book value of the net assets acquired to the identifiable assets and liabilities of the Company.
 Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM acquired redeemable preferred shares of a subsidiary of the asset management business valued at $ 47 million in exchange for common shares of the Asset Management Company which has been accounted for as a debt security held at amortized cost.
 As at December 31, 2024, the carrying value of the equity method investment was equal to BAM's interest in the Company's underlying net assets.

 The summarized financial information and results of BAM's equity method investee, Brookfield Asset Management ULC, are outlined in the tables below:

 4. INCOME TAXES
 The income before provision of taxes consists of income earned in the jurisdictions in which we operate. BAM does not currently carry a provision for taxes as there is no tax obligation on current period net income. BAM's equity-accounted investment in the Company is expected to be realized through non-taxable dividends. Accordingly, no tax provision has been recorded.

 BAM's effective income tax rate is different from BAM's statutory income tax rate due to the following differences set out below:

 5. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 BAM, the Asset Management Company, and BN have granted share-based compensation awards to certain employees and directors of BAM, under a number of compensation plans (the "Equity Plans"). The Equity Plans provide for the granting of share options, restricted shares, escrowed shares and deferred share and restricted share units which contain certain service or performance requirements of BAM or BN.
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM granted 6.1 million (2023 – 7.9 million) stock options at a weighted average exercise price of $ 40.07 (2023 – $ 35.13). The compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was calculated using the Black-Scholes method of valuation, assuming an average 7.5 year term (2023 – 7.5 year term), 29.2 % volatility (2023 – 28.5 %), a weighted average expected dividend yield of 4.8 % annually (2023 – 4.6 %), a risk-free rate of 4.2 % (2023 – 3.9 %) and a liquidity discount of 25 % (2023 – 25 %), with a fair value of $ 6.12 per unit (2023 – $ 5.26). The total fair value of the options granted during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $ 37.5 million (2023 – $ 41.3 million).
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM did no t grant any escrowed shares. For the year ended December 31, 2023, BAM granted 4.8 million escrowed shares at a weighted average exercise price of $ 35.13. The compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was calculated using the Black-Scholes method of valuation, assuming an average 7.5 year term, 28.5 % volatility, a weighted average expected dividend yield of 4.6 % annually, a risk-free rate of 3.9 % and a liquidity discount of 25 %, with a fair value of $ 5.26 per unit. The total fair value of the escrowed shares granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $ 25.2 million.
 The expenses of the share-based compensation are recognized on the financial statements of BAM and are summarized in the following table:

 Management Share Option Plan
 BAM recognizes any awards associated with the existing Equity Plans for its employees irrespective of whether the awards were granted by BN or BAM. Options issued under the Management Share Option Plan ("MSOP") of both BN and BAM vest over a period of up to five years, expire ten years after the grant date and are settled through issuance of Class A shares of BN or BAM. The exercise price is equal to the market price at the grant date.
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total expense incurred by BAM with respect to MSOP totaled $ 10 million (2023 – $ 10 million, for the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022 – $ 1 million).

 The Escrowed Stock ("ES") shares generally vest over five years and must be held to the fifth anniversary of the grant date. At a date no more than ten years from the grant date, all outstanding ES shares will be exchanged for Class A shares issued by BN or BAM based on the market value of the respective Class A shares at the time of the exchange. The number of Class A shares issued on exchange will be less than the Class A shares purchased under the ES Plan resulting in a net reduction in the number of Class A shares issued by BAM.
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total expense incurred with respect to the ES Plan totaled $ 44 million.

 The Restricted Stock Plan awards executives with Class A shares of BN and BAM purchased on the open market ("Restricted Shares"). Under the Restricted Stock Plan, Restricted Shares awarded vest over a period of up to five years, except for Restricted Shares awarded in lieu of a cash bonus, which may vest immediately. Vested and unvested Restricted Shares are subject to a hold period of up to five years. Holders of Restricted Shares are entitled to vote Restricted Shares and to receive associated dividends. Employee compensation expense for the Restricted Stock Plan is charged against income over the vesting period.
 Compensation expense recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $ 7 million (2023 – $ 7 million; for the period ended December 31, 2022 – $ 1 million).

 The Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan provides for the issuance of DSUs. Under the plan, qualifying employees and directors receive varying percentages of their annual incentive bonus or directors' fees in the form of DSUs. The DSUs vest over periods of up to five years, and accumulate additional DSUs at the same rate as dividends on Class A shares of BN and BAM based on the market value of the Class A Shares at the time of the dividend. Participants may convert vested DSUs into cash upon retirement or cessation of employment.

 The value of these DSUs, when converted to cash, will be equivalent to the market value of the Class A shares of BN and BAM at the time the conversion takes place. The fair value of the vested DSUs as at December 31, 2024 was $ 488 million (December 31, 2023 – $ 336 million).
 Employee compensation expense is charged against income over the vesting period of the DSUs. As these awards are classified as liabilities, the amount payable in respect of vested DSUs changes as a result of dividends and share price movements. All of the amounts attributable to changes in the amounts payable by the Company are recorded as employee compensation expense in the period of the change. For awards issued as part of the 2022 Arrangement, the mark-to-market movement in the awards is recoverable from the Asset Management Company. For the year ended December 31, 2024, employee compensation expense totaled $ 162 million (2023 – $ 113 million; for the period ended 2022 – recovery of $ 45 million), due to a change in the underlying share price.

 Restricted Share Unit Plan
 The Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan provides for the issuance of RSUs. Under the plan, qualifying employees and directors receive varying percentages of their annual incentive bonus or directors' fees in the form of RSUs. The RSUs vest over periods of up to five years. Participants may convert vested RSUs into cash upon retirement or cessation of employment.
 The value of the RSUs, when converted into cash, will be equivalent to the difference between the market price of equivalent number of Class A shares of BN or BAM at the time the conversion takes place and the market price on the date the RSUs are granted. Employee compensation expense is charged against income over the vesting period of the RSUs. As these awards are liability classified, the amount payable in respect of vested RSUs changes as a result of dividends and share price movements. All of the amounts attributable to changes in the amounts payable by the Company are recorded as employee compensation expense in the period of the change. For awards issued as part of the 2022 Arrangement, the mark-to-market movement in the awards is recoverable from the Asset Management Company.
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the RSU Plan was settled and all participating BAM employees and directors received a cash settlement equal to the liability at the date of settlement. As the RSU Plan was a plan of BN, all costs associated with settlement were reimbursed by BN.

 6. EARNINGS PER SHARE
 Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. BAM applies the two-class method in calculating earnings per share for each of its two classes of shares and participating securities, based on their pro-rata share of earnings. Class A shares held under the ES Plans in one or more private wholly-owned subsidiaries of BAM are classified as treasury shares and have been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share. BAM has certain dilutive securities relating to outstanding restricted stock and options held by employees and non-employees and have been reflected accordingly in diluted earnings per share figures. Basic and diluted net income per share of common stock for the year ended December 31, 2024, year ended December 31, 2023 and for the period from July 4, 2022 to December 31, 2022 was calculated as follows:

 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 In the normal course of business, BAM enters into transactions with related parties by recovering or bearing the cost of certain employee compensation with BN and Brookfield Asset Management ULC and by borrowing on its $ 500 million credit facility with Brookfield Asset Management ULC to fund short-term working capital requirements.
 Under the AMSA, BAM provides the services of its employees and its Chief Executive Officer to Brookfield Asset Management ULC on a cost recovery basis. For the year ended December 31, 2024, under this arrangement BAM has recognized $ 181 million (2023 – $ 177 million; period ended December 31, 2022 – $ nil) in Operating Recoveries. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM recovered $ 9 million (2023 – $ 4 million, period ended December 31, 2022 – $ nil) in unrealized carried interest compensation expense from the asset management business.
 As outlined in the Relationship Agreement, BN is responsible for the share-based awards issued by BN, some of which are subject to revaluation at each balance sheet date and will also bear the cost of the employee entitlement to carried interest on mature funds either directly or indirectly through reimbursement to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM has recognized Operating Recoveries of $ 234 million (2023 – $ 206 million; period ended December 31, 2022 – $ 35 million).
 Under the TSA, Brookfield Asset Management ULC will provide BN and BAM certain services to support day-to-day corporate activities on a transitional basis. For services provided to BAM, costs are recorded on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM has recognized less than $ 1 million (2023 – less than $ 1 million; period ended December 31, 2022 – less than $ 1 million), in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income under this arrangement.
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM received from Brookfield Asset Management ULC prepayments under the AMSA for share-based compensation of $ 15 million (2023 – $ 16 million, period ended December 31, 2022 – $ nil), respectively, which represent deferred income and has been included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. For the year ended December 31, 2024, BAM received from Brookfield Asset Management ULC advanced reimbursements for BAM share-based awards issued to employees of Brookfield Asset Management ULC of $ 79 million (2023 – $ 88 million; period ended December 31, 2022 – $ nil), respectively, which has been recorded in additional paid-in capital.

 In addition, BAM owns options to acquire Brookfield Asset Management ULC's shares. These options track certain options issued under our Management Share Option Plan and are automatically exercised at the same time and the same exercise prices as the tracked BAM options. As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of these options is $ 75 million (2023 – $ 40 million) and is included in other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 Guarantees
 BAM may from time to time enter into guarantees in respect of certain co-investments in which there is carried interest. The amount guaranteed is up to the carry amount paid to the general partners of the respective funds, net of taxes. In the event that the general partners default on their carry clawback obligations, BAM will make payments under the guarantees. As at December 31, 2024, BAM has not recognized any liabilities with respect to such guarantees as no carry has been paid in the relevant funds.
 Litigation
 BAM may from time to time be involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. BAM's business is also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against the Company. As of December 31, 2024, there is no outstanding litigation.
 BAM accrues a liability for legal proceedings only when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, based on information known by management, BAM does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 Quarterly Dividend
 On February 11, 2025, the Board of BAM declared a quarterly dividend of $ 0.4375 per share, payable on March 31, 2025 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on February 28, 2025.
 BAM Announces Completion of Enhanced Corporate Structure
 On February 4, 2025, BAM completed a corporate restructuring with BN by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "2025 Plan of Arrangement"), which was originally announced on October 31, 2024, whereby BN transferred its approximate 73 % interest in the Asset Management Company to BAM in exchange for newly issued Class A Shares of BAM, on a one-for-one basis (the "2025 Arrangement").
 Upon completion of the 2025 Arrangement on February 4, 2025, BAM issued 1,194,021,145 Class A Shares to BN and certain of its subsidiaries in exchange for all of the common shares of the Asset Management Company currently owned by BN and its subsidiaries on a one-for-one basis.
 The 2025 Arrangement will be accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition in which BAM ULC is considered the accounting acquirer and have issued shares to acquire the net assets of BAM. BAM will continue to be the SEC registrant and its Consolidated Financial Statements, including historical results, other than legal share capital, will be that of BAM ULC.

 INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
 To the Board of Directors of Brookfield Asset Management ULC
 Opinion
 We have audited the consolidated and combined financial statements of Brookfield Asset Management ULC and subsidiaries (the "Company"), which comprise the consolidated and combined balance sheet as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated and combined statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, and the related notes to the consolidated and combined financial statements (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
 In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 Basis for Opinion
 We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
 Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.
 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
 Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
 In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
 • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
 • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
 We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 1. ORGANIZATION
 Brookfield Asset Management ULC ("our asset management business" or "the Company" or "Asset Management Company") was formed on July 4, 2022 as an unlimited liability company under, and governed by, the laws of British Columbia. The registered office of the Company is 1055 West Georgia Street, 1500 Royal Centre, P.O. Box 11117, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4N7.
 On May 12, 2022, Brookfield Corporation ("BN") announced that it would separately list and distribute to its shareholders a 25% interest in its asset management business. The transaction was completed on December 9, 2022 by way of an arrangement agreement (the "2022 Arrangement"), which resulted in the transfer of BN's historical asset management business into the newly incorporated Brookfield Asset Management ULC. On completion of the 2022 Arrangement, BN transferred a 25% interest in Brookfield Asset Management ULC to Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. ("BAM").
 References in these financial statements to "us," "we," "our" or "the Company" refer to our asset management business and its direct and indirect subsidiaries and consolidated entities. Brookfield Asset Management ULC's asset management business focuses on renewable power and transition, infrastructure, real estate, private equity, and credit, operating in various markets globally.
 The Company entered into several agreements and arrangements resulting from the 2022 Arrangement, among which include:
 • The Asset Management Services Agreement (the "AMSA") under which BAM provides the services of its employees and its Chief Executive Officer to the Company who in turn pays BAM for the services of these individuals on a cost recovery basis. Most of BAM's employees/executives spend their time discharging their duties as officers and employees of BAM and towards responsibilities related to the Company which include investment, corporate and other services. In addition, at the request of the Company, BAM may provide options and long term incentive awards to its employees, which will be reimbursed under this agreement. See discussion of the accounting for this agreement in the Other Revenues accounting policy in Note 2;
 • The Transitional Services Agreement (the "TSA") pursuant to which the Company provides BN and BAM, on a transitional basis, certain services to support day-to-day corporate activities. The transitional services are provided, at cost, for a period of three years from December 9, 2022, unless extended by mutual agreement. The Company also provides to BN, as required from time to time and on a cost recovery basis, services of its investment personnel to assist in acquisitions or other transactions undertaken by BN. See discussion of the accounting for this agreement in the Related Parties accounting policy in Note 2; and
 • The Relationship Agreement under which (i) carried interest generated by our asset management business is allocated to BN at 100% with respect to mature funds and at 33.3% with respect to current funds, new funds and open-ended funds, through the Company's non-controlling interest and redeemable preferred shares non-controlling interest held by BN, and (ii) certain employee share-based and performance-based compensation costs are recovered from BN. See discussion of the accounting for this agreement in the Other Revenues accounting policy in Note 2.

 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Basis of Presentation
 The financial statements for periods prior to and through the date of the 2022 Arrangement were prepared on a combined standalone basis and were derived from the consolidated and combined financial statements and accounting records of BN. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 2023, and 2022 and as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries and is based on the financial position and results of operations of the Company as a standalone company. Intercompany balances and transactions between consolidated entities have been eliminated. These consolidated and combined financial statements reflect the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("U.S. GAAP"). The historical results of operations and cash flows of the Company prior to the 2022 Arrangement presented in these consolidated and combined financial statements may not be indicative of what they would have been had the Company been an independent standalone entity, nor are they necessarily indicative of the Company's future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
 The consolidated and combined statements of operations for periods prior to and through the 2022 Arrangement include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Company and an allocation of expenses related to certain Corporation corporate functions. These allocated costs and expenses include executive management, finance, treasury, tax, audit, legal, information technology, human resources and risk management functions and the related benefit/cost associated with such functions, including employee share-based and performance based compensation. These costs and expenses have been allocated to the Company based on direct usage or benefit where specifically identifiable, with the remaining expenses allocated primarily on a pro rata basis using an applicable measure of

 revenues, headcount or other relevant measures. The Company considers these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services or the benefit received.
 The preparation of the Company's consolidated and combined financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Generally, actual experience has been consistent with management's prior estimates and assumptions. In many cases, management's estimates and assumptions are dependent on estimates of such future developments which may change in the future. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements.
 Certain of the comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the consolidated and combined financial statement presentation adopted in the current year.
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates that affect the amounts reported in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Management believes that estimates utilized in the preparation of the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements are reasonable. Such estimates include those used in the valuation of investments and financial instruments, the measurement of deferred tax balances (including valuation allowances), accrued carried interest, incentive distributions and the accounting for share-based and performance-based compensation. Actual results may differ from those estimates and such differences may be material.
 Consolidation
 The Company consolidates all entities that it controls through a majority voting interest and all variable interest entities ("VIE") for which it is the primary beneficiary. An enterprise is determined to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a variable interest entity and reconsiders that conclusion upon certain events. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its control rights as well as economic interests in the entity held either directly or indirectly by the Company. Assets of a consolidated VIE can only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIE and creditors and other beneficial interest holders do not have recourse to the Company with respect to liabilities of its consolidated VIEs. The Company's other disclosures regarding VIEs are discussed in Note 4.
 The Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of certain funds, in which it is the primary beneficiary. In the current period, the Company invested in two Brookfield-sponsored funds in which it has been determined to be the primary beneficiary.
 All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
 Redeemable Preferred Shares Non-Controlling Interest
 Upon completion of the 2022 Arrangement, the Company issued various special tracking preferred shares of subsidiaries of the Company ("Tracking Shares") which provides BN with a redemption right, upon a liquidation or redemption event, to receive a preferred amount equal to the fair value of carried interest entitlement from certain tracked assets, net of any compensation related costs. These returns are realized through the payment of cumulative dividends, as and when declared by the board of directors of the relevant Brookfield Asset Management ULC subsidiaries. These tracking shares are entitled to vote, together with the common shares owned indirectly by the Company, in respect of those subsidiaries. The tracking shares are presented as preferred share redeemable non-controlling interest within the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets, outside of permanent equity.
 The first series of Tracking Shares issued by Brookfield U.S. Holdings Inc. ("BUSHI"), a subsidiary of the Company, provides BN with economic interest equal to effectively 100% of the carried interest earned in mature funds. This series of Tracking Shares has a redemption clause whereby the issuer, whose board is controlled by BN, may elect to redeem the tracking shares upon the tenth anniversary of issuance. While this series of tracking shares are not currently redeemable, the Company considers that it is probable that the instrument will become redeemable as the redemption requirement is only through passage of time. As such, the relevant redeemable non-controlling interest recognized outside of permanent equity requires remeasurement at each reporting period.
 The second series of Tracking Shares issued by Brookfield Manager Holdings Ltd. ("BMHL") provides BN with the economic interest equal to effectively a 33.3% share of similar distributions on open-ended funds. This series of Tracking Shares can only be redeemed upon exceptional circumstances that cause a materially adverse impact to the subsidiary. As the instrument is not currently redeemable and the Company considers such a triggering event to be remote and outside of the control of the entity, the relevant redeemable non-controlling interest recognized outside of permanent equity does not require remeasurement at each reporting period.

 In addition to the Tracking Shares, BUSHI also has class B senior preferred shares and class B preferred shares outstanding as at December 31, 2024, all of which are held by BN. The class B senior preferred shares entitle the holder to cumulative preferential cash dividends at $1.36375 per share per annum and are ranked senior to the BUSHI Tracking Shares, class B preferred shares and common shares. The class B senior preferred shares are redeemable by the issuer, whose board is controlled by BN, upon the tenth anniversary of issuance at a redemption amount of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends. The class B preferred shares of BUSHI are redeemable at the option of both the holder and the issuer at a redemption amount of $25 per share plus declared and unpaid dividends, and title the holder to non-cumulative preferential cash dividends at 6.7% per annum on the redemption amount. These preferred shares are non-voting and rank junior to the class B senior preferred shares and the BUSHI Tracking Shares and senior to common shares of the entity. Due to the currently exercisable holder redemption option, these shares are presented as a part of preferred share redeemable non-controlling interest within the Company's Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets, outside of permanent equity and measured at their redemption amount plus any dividends declared and unpaid at each reporting date.
 Additionally, the Company, as part of various equity-based compensation arrangements, has issued class A preferred shares to BN and BAM. The shares rank junior to the Class B senior preferred and Tracking Shares and are redeemable at the option of the holder and the issuer at a redemption amount of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and these preferred shares are non-voting. Due to the currently exercisable holder redemption option, these shares are presented as a part of preferred share redeemable non-controlling interest within the Company's Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets, outside of permanent equity and measured at their redemption amount plus any dividends declared and unpaid at each reporting date.
 The Company recognizes any change of the carrying amount of its preferred shares redeemable non-controlling interest in net (income) loss attributable to preferred share redeemable non-controlling interest in its Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 Non-Controlling Interest
 Upon completion of the 2022 Arrangement, the Company issued various classes of equity interests of the Company's subsidiaries to BN which have rights to priority distributions. Net income (loss) and other comprehensive income, if applicable, generated by the respective subsidiaries is allocated to non-controlling interest in consolidated entities based on the substantive contractual terms of the subsidiaries' governing agreements that specify the allocation of income or loss.
 Revenue Recognition
 Revenue is measured based on the amount the Company expects to be entitled to under the contract with the customer and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service (or a bundle of goods and services) to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. In determining the transaction price, an entity may include variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized would not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. A contract's transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue, as, or when, the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company recognizes revenue when it transfers control of a product or service to a customer.
 Revenues primarily consist of management and advisory fees, incentive fees (including incentive distributions and performance fees).
 Management and advisory fees — Management and advisory fees are comprised of base management fees and transaction, advisory and other fees and are accounted for as contracts with customers.
 The Company earns base management fees from its customers at a fixed percentage of a calculation base which is typically committed capital or invested capital or net asset value. The Company identifies its customers on a fund-by-fund basis in accordance with the terms and circumstances of the individual fund. Generally, the customer is identified as the investor in its managed funds and investment vehicles, but for certain widely held funds or vehicles, the fund or vehicle itself may be identified as the customer. These customer contracts require the Company to provide investment management services over a period of time, which represents a performance obligation that the Company satisfies over time. Management fees are a form of variable consideration because the fees that the Company is entitled to vary based on fluctuations in the basis for the management fee. The amount recorded as revenue is generally determined at the end of the period because these management fees are payable on a regular basis (typically quarterly) and are not subject to clawback once paid.
 Transaction, advisory and other fees are principally fees charged to the investors of funds indirectly through the managed funds and portfolio companies. These fees are based on a fixed percentage of enterprise value or equity value of pooled capital raised and are earned which generally coincides with when the capital is called. These fees are not tied to performance or ongoing investment management services, are not subject to clawback and are recorded in the period in which the related transaction closes.
 Accrued but unpaid management and advisory fees, net of management fee reductions and management fee offsets, as of the reporting date are included in Accounts receivable and other, net or Due from affiliates in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.

 Incentive fees — Incentive fees include incentive distributions and performance fees and are accounted for as contracts with customers.
 Incentive distributions are incentive payments to reward the Company for meeting or exceeding certain performance thresholds of managed entities. They are comprised of incentive distributions and performance fees.
 Incentive distributions paid to us by our permanent capital vehicles are determined by contractual arrangements and represent a portion of distributions paid by the permanent capital vehicles above a predetermined hurdle. They are accrued as revenue on the respective affiliates' distribution record dates only if the predetermined hurdle has been achieved. They are not subject to clawback.
 Performance fees are generated when the unit value of a perpetual affiliate or a limited-life fund exceeds a prescribed high-water mark and are accrued on a quarterly or annual basis. These fees are not subject to clawback.
 Incentive distributions and performance fees will not be recognized until (a) it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, or (b) the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved.
 Accrued but unpaid incentive distributions and performance fees are recorded within Due from affiliates in the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets as of the reporting date.
 Investment income (loss) — Investment income (loss) represents the unrealized and realized gains and losses on carried interest and movements in the fair value of the Company's principal investments and is accounted for outside of ASC 606.
 Carried interest is a performance fee arrangement in which the Company receives a percentage of investment returns, generated within a private fund on carry eligible capital, based on a contractual formula. We are eligible to earn carried interest from a fund once returns exceed the fund's contractually defined performance hurdles at which point, we earn an accelerated percentage of the additional fund profit until we have earned the percentage of total fund profit, net of fees and expenses, to which we are entitled. At the end of each reporting period, the Company calculates the balance of accrued carried interest that would be due to the Company for each fund, pursuant to the fund agreements, as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as accrued carried interest to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the accrued carried interest to the general partner or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to the Company to be less than the amount previously recognized as revenue, resulting in a negative adjustment to the accrued carried interest to the general partner. These adjustments are recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations as unrealized carried interest allocations in Investment income. In each scenario, it is necessary to calculate the accrued carried interest on cumulative results compared to the accrued carried interest recorded to date and make the required positive or negative adjustments. The Company ceases to record negative carried interest once previously accrued carried interest for such funds have been fully reversed. The Company is not obligated to pay guaranteed returns or hurdles, and therefore, cannot have negative carried interest over the life of a fund. Accrued carried interest as of the reporting date is reflected in Investments on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets.
 Carried interest is realized when an underlying investment is profitably disposed of and the fund's cumulative returns are in excess of the preferred return or, in limited instances, after certain thresholds for return of capital are met. Carried interest is subject to clawback to the extent that the carried interest received to date exceeds the amount due to the Company based on cumulative results. The accrual for potential repayment of previously received carried interest would represent amounts previously paid to the Company that would need to be repaid if these funds accruing carry were to be liquidated based on the fair value of their underlying investments. This amount is estimated to be $nil for all periods presented and as a result no clawback provision has been recognized in these Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements.
 Fair value gains (losses) on principal investments include the unrealized and realized gains and losses on the Company's principal investments, including its investments in the funds that are not consolidated and receive pro-rata allocations and other principal investments. Income (loss) on principal investments is realized when the Company redeems all or a portion of its investment or when the Company receives cash income, such as dividends or distributions. Unrealized income (loss) on principal investments results from changes in the fair value of the underlying investment as well as the reversal of unrealized gain (loss) at the time an investment is realized.
 Interest and dividend revenue — Interest and dividend revenue comprise primarily of interest and dividend income earned on principal investments not accounted for under the equity method held by the Company.
 Other revenues
 Other revenues arises from the AMSA between BAM and the Company and the Relationship Agreement between BAM, the Company, and BN.

 Under the AMSA, BAM provides the services of its employees on a cost recovery basis. Expenses incurred under the AMSA relating to these services is recognized as Other Revenues in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations on a gross basis as and when the services are performed by BAM.
 Under the Relationship Agreement, certain employee share-based and performance-based compensation costs are recovered from BN. Income generated under the Relationship Agreement relating to these instruments is recognized as Other Revenues in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations on a gross basis as the instruments vest.
 Certain liability classified share-based awards covered by the AMSA and Relationship Agreement are required to be revalued at each balance sheet date. As a result, where the revaluation results in an increase in the share-based award liability, BN and the Company will reimburse BAM while conversely, where the revaluation results in a decrease in the share-based award liability, BAM will be responsible for reimbursing the difference to BN or the Company.
 Other revenues includes certain performance fees which are accounted for as contracts with customers. Amounts are accrued on a quarterly or annual basis and are not recognized until (a) it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur, or (b) the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Certain amounts are subject to clawback.
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
 Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows:
 • Level I — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments in Level I include listed equities and mutual funds with quoted prices. The 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 II — 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.
 • Level III — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
 In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which category within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given financial instrument 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 financial instrument.
 Level II Valuation Techniques
 Financial instruments classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy are comprised of certain equity securities.
 The valuation techniques used to value financial instruments classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
 • Equity Securities are valued on the basis of prices from an orderly transaction between market participants provided by reputable dealers or pricing services. In determining the value of a particular investment, the Company may use certain information with respect to quotations from dealers, pricing matrices and market transactions in comparable investments and various relationships between investments. The valuation of certain equity securities is based on an observable price for an identical security adjusted for the effect of a restriction that is embodied in the security.

 Level III Valuation Techniques
 In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values its investments using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. For some investments where little market activity may exist; management's determination of fair value is then based on the best information available in the circumstances and may incorporate management's own assumptions and involves a significant degree of judgment, taking into consideration a combination of internal and external factors, including the appropriate risk adjustments for non-performance and liquidity risks.
 The Company uses both the discounted cash flow method or the direct capitalization method to value the investments held in consolidated funds. Valuations may be derived by referencing observable valuation measures for comparable assets and recent market transactions, adjusted for asset specific factors. Where a discounted cash flow method is used, a terminal value is derived by referencing to a stabilized exit EBITDA and a capitalization rate.
 Net Asset Value
 Investment funds are typically measured using Net Asset Value ("NAV") as a practical expedient in determining fair value and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value reflects a pro rata ownership percentage as indicated by NAV in the investment fund financial statements, which may be adjusted if it is determined NAV is not calculated consistent with investment company fair value principles. The underlying investments of the investment funds may have significant unobservable inputs, which may include but are not limited to, comparable multiples and WACC rates applied in valuation models or a discounted cash flow model.
 Derivatives
 Derivative financial instruments under ASC 815, Derivative and Hedging are recognized on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings.
 Purchased or written options on equity interests of several of our equity method investments that do not meet the definition of a derivative are recognized on the Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets on a gross basis as Financial Assets or Financial Liabilities, respectively. These financial instruments are measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in Other (expenses) income, net.
 Investments include (i) investments held by funds which the Company controls and consolidates and (ii) the Company's ownership interests (typically general partner interests) in nonconsolidated funds which are accounted for as equity method investments.
 (i) Investments at fair value under Consolidated Funds
 Investments held in consolidated funds, which are investment companies under ASC 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, are measured at fair value as disclosed in Note 3.
 (ii) Company's ownership interests in funds and other asset management businesses accounted for as equity method investments
 Investments in which the Company is deemed to exert significant influence, but not control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company has significant influence over certain Brookfield funds in which it invests but does not consolidate. Therefore, its investments in such Brookfield funds, which include both a proportionate and disproportionate allocation of the profits and losses, are accounted for under the equity method. The Company also has investments in equity interests of other asset management businesses that provide it with significant influence and therefore accounts for such investments using the equity method for its proportionate share of the investees' comprehensive income or losses.
 When the Company acquires an additional interest in an existing equity method investment, resulting in a step-up in basis, the difference between the purchase price and the Company's proportionate share of the book value of the investee's net assets is identified and allocated to the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the investee at the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of the net assets acquired is allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. The basis difference is generally amortized over the remaining useful lives of the intangible assets, while any amount allocated to goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment annually. The amortization of the basis difference affects the Company's share of the investee's net income or loss and is included in the "Share of Income from Equity Method Investments" line item in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. The amortization periods for the intangible assets to which the basis difference is allocated are consistent with the estimated useful lives of those assets. The Company evaluates its equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of such investments may not be recoverable.
 In cases where the Company's equity method investments provide for a disproportionate allocation of the profits and losses, the Company's share of earnings (losses) from equity method investments is determined using a balance sheet approach referred to as the

 hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method. Under the HLBV method, at the end of each reporting period the Company calculates the accrued carried interest that would be due to the Company pursuant to fund agreements as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of the underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to the amounts recorded as carried interest to reflect either a positive performance resulting in an increase in the carried interest allocated to the general partner or a negative performance that would cause the amount due to the Company to be less than the amount previously recognized, resulting in a negative adjustment to carried interest allocated to the general partner. In each case, such accrued carried interest will be recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 The Company has elected to account for certain equity method investments such as equity securities through the election of the fair value option under ASC 825, Financial Instruments. These are investments in limited partnerships that represent more than a minor interest in the investees where the Company does not have the practical ability to exert significant influence.
 Refer to Note 3 for details in relation to equity method investments.
 Cash and Cash Equivalents
 Cash and cash equivalents represents cash on hand, cash held in banks, money market funds and liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recorded in Interest and dividend revenue in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 Intangibles and Goodwill
 Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to twenty years, reflecting the contractual lives of such assets. Amortization expense is included within General and administrative in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
 Goodwill is reviewed for impairment at least annually utilizing a qualitative or quantitative approach, and more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The impairment testing for goodwill under the qualitative approach is based first on a qualitative assessment to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the Company's operating segments is less than their respective carrying values. The operating segments are considered the reporting units for testing the impairment of goodwill. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that an operating segment's fair value is less than its carrying value or when the quantitative approach is used, an impairment loss is recognized to the extent by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
 Property, Plant and Equipment, net
 Property, plant and equipment, net consist primarily of leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, computer hardware and software and are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the assets' estimated useful economic lives, which for leasehold improvements are the lesser of the lease term or the life of the asset, generally ten to fifteen years, and three to seven years for other fixed assets. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
 Accounts Receivable, net
 Accounts receivable, net includes management fees receivable from limited partners, receivables from underlying funds in the fund of hedge funds business, placement and advisory fees receivables, receivables relating to unsettled sale transactions and loans extended to unaffiliated third parties. Accounts receivable, net are assessed for credit loss at each reporting date. Amounts determined to be uncollectible are charged directly to General and administrative expenses in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 Foreign Currency
 The U.S. Dollar is the functional and presentation currency of the Company. The Company consolidates a number of entities that have a non-U.S. Dollar functional currency. Each of the Company's subsidiaries and associates determines its own functional currency and items of each subsidiary and associate included in the Consolidated and Combined financial statements are measured using that functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at average rates during the year. Gains or losses on translation are accumulated as a component of equity. On the disposal of a foreign operation, or the loss of control, joint control or significant influence, the component of Accumulated other comprehensive income relating to that foreign operation is reclassified to Net income in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations. Gains or losses on foreign currency denominated balances and transactions that are designated as hedges of net investments in these operations are reported in the same manner.

 Foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of the Company are translated using the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date, and non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Revenues and expenses are measured at average rates during the year. Gains or losses on translation of these items are included in earnings. Foreign currency denominated non-monetary assets and liabilities, measured at historic cost, are translated at the rate of exchange at the transaction date.
 Compensation, benefits and fund operating expenses — Compensation and carried interest compensation
 Compensation — Compensation consists of (a) salary and bonus, and benefits paid and payable to employees, and (b) share-based compensation associated with the grants of share-based awards to employees. Compensation costs relating to the issuance of share-based awards to senior management and employees is accounted for in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. These awards are measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed over the vesting period, except in the case of share-based awards that do not require future service, which are expensed immediately. Cash settled share-based awards and awards settled in a variable number of shares for a fixed monetary amount are classified as liabilities and are remeasured at the end of each reporting period. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur.
 Prior to the completion of the 2022 Arrangement, share-based compensation expense was allocated to the Company based on the awards and terms previously granted to its employees under BN's share-based compensation plans. The value of these long term incentive plans changed as a result of the spin-off of the asset management business. In order to make award participants whole following the 2022 Arrangement, BN and BAM modified the strike price of the historical awards and issued additional BAM awards such that participants would receive the same economic outcome immediately before and after the spin-off. As part of the execution of the 2022 Arrangement, certain employees are now employed by the Company and any unvested amounts cease to be recognized by the non-employing entity. The Company assessed the fair value of the modified instruments immediately before and after the spin-off date to determine if there was any change in value and will account for the impact of the modification and recognizes any relevant incremental fair value generated at the time of the spin-off prospectively.
 In addition, BAM may issue options and other long-term incentive awards to employees of the Company, and the Company may reimburse BAM for the costs associated with these awards. Compensation costs associated with these instruments are recorded on a gross basis in the Statements of Operations as the instruments vest.
 Refer to Note 9 for further details of the Company's share-based compensation.
 Carried Interest Compensation — Unrealized and realized carried interest is performance-based compensation associated with realized or unrealized carried interest based on performance of investments on a fund-by-fund basis. Such compensation expense is subject to both positive and negative adjustments.
 Other (expenses) income, net
 Other (expenses) income, net in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations includes net unrealized gains (losses) resulting from changes in the fair value of the Company's investments in common shares, financial instruments associated with options to acquire additional interests in various investments, and investments in its sponsored funds.
 Income taxes
 The Company is an unlimited liability company organized under the provincial laws of British Columbia and is subject to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes.
 Prior to the 2022 Arrangement, the Company's domestic and foreign operating results were included in the income tax returns of BN. The Company accounted for income taxes under the separate return method. Under this approach, the Company determined its deferred tax assets and liabilities and related tax expenses as if it were filing separate tax returns.
 The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability approach of accounting for income taxes. Under this approach, deferred taxes represent the future tax consequences expected to occur when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or paid. Income taxes as presented attribute deferred income taxes of the Company's standalone Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements in a manner that is systematic, rational, and consistent with the asset and liability method.
 The provision for income taxes represents income taxes paid or payable for the current year plus the change in deferred taxes during the year. Deferred taxes result from differences between the financial and tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities and are adjusted for changes in tax rates and tax laws when such changes are enacted. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized.
 The Company analyzes its tax filing positions in all jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as for all open tax years in these jurisdictions. Tax benefits associated with actual or expected income tax positions are recognized when the "more

 likely than not" recognition threshold is met. The tax benefits are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely to be realized upon settlement with the related tax authority.
 The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within the provision for income taxes in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 Related parties
 In the normal course of operations, the Company enters into various transactions on market terms with related parties, including amounts in Due from/to affiliates. The Company and its subsidiaries may also transact with entities that share a common parent. Amounts owed to and by associates and joint ventures are not eliminated on consolidation.
 The Company has certain loans and receivables within Due from Affiliates which are long-term in nature. These receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at their amortized cost bases with interest recognized using the interest method.
 In addition to the Relationship Agreement and AMSA, BN, BAM and the Company have entered into the TSA pursuant to which (i) the Company agrees to provide BN and BAM, on a transitional basis, certain services to support day-to-day corporate activities (including services related to finance, treasury, accounting, legal and regulatory, marketing, communications, human resources, internal audit, information technology) and (ii) BN provides, on a transitional basis, certain services to BAM and the Company to facilitate the orderly transition of the asset management business (the services, collectively, being "Transitional Services"). The Transitional Services are provided, at cost, for a period of three years from December 9, 2022, unless extended by mutual agreement. The Company also provides to BN, as required from time to time and on a cost recovery basis, services of its investment personnel to assist in acquisitions or other transactions undertaken by BN.
 In the normal course of business, BAM issues its share-based compensation awards to the Company's employees. The Company accounts for such transactions in accordance with ASC 323 Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures, and recognizes the entire cost of the awards, as they vest, as compensation expense and a corresponding increase in additional paid-in capital. As the Company reimburses BAM for the cost of these awards, the reimbursement is recognized as a decrease in additional paid-in capital. As such, this arrangement with BAM has a net impact on the Company's Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements as if the Company had paid for the employee compensation in cash. To the extent that the Company reimburses BAM before the associated awards vest, the Company recognizes the prepayment in Due from Affiliates.
 See Note 17 for further detail on related party transactions.
 Dividends
 Dividends are reflected in the Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements when declared.
 Recent accounting pronouncements
 The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates ("ASUs") issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). ASUs not listed below were assessed and either determined to be not applicable or expected to have minimal impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, which requires public business entities to disclose specific information about existing costs and expenses in the notes to its financial statements. This ASU is intended to provide users with useful information about expenses critical to understanding an entity's performance. This standard requires that a public business entity disclose key expenses including, but not limited to, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization, and associated qualitative disclosures about the nature of expenses.

 Where appropriate, the accounting for the Company's investments incorporates the changes in fair value of those investments.
 a. As at December 31, 2024, common and preferred shares were $400 million (2023 – $77 million). Common shares primarily represents investments of $64 million in Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (2023 – $64 million) and $25 million in Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund Inc. Preferred shares represent investments made by the Company which, as of December 31, 2024, are $249 million of preferred shares in GEMS Education and $50 million preferred shares of Cherry Coatings. Common and preferred share investments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 b. As at December 31, 2024, Investments in affiliates are primarily comprised of an interest in BSREP III of $1.0 billion (2023 – $1.1 billion) which is accounted for as an equity investment measured at its NAV in accordance with ASC 321, Investments – Equity Securities.
 c. Accrued carried interest represents the disproportionate allocation of capital from our private funds to the extent that such interest is provided for in the relevant fund agreements. Accrued carried interest is accounted for using the equity method of accounting based on the Company's entitlement to the funds' net assets as if all investments were liquidated at fair value and all liabilities were satisfied, net of the cumulative amounts that have already been realized. As stipulated in the Relationship Agreement, accrued carried interest in mature funds, as defined therein, is all attributed to BN and accrued carried interest in new funds, including current funds and open-ended funds, as defined therein, is attributed to BN at 33.3%. Such attribution is achieved via Tracking Shares and non-controlling interests in certain subsidiaries that are entitled to such carried interest.

The change in the Company's accrued carried interest for mature funds for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 is as follows:

 d. The Company has significant influence, but not control, over the operating and financial policies of its equity method investees by virtue of having the ability to appoint members of these investees' governing bodies. The Company's equity method investments include:
 i. An approximate 73% economic interest in Oaktree of $4.6 billion (2023 – $4.2 billion);
 ii. An economic interest in Castlelake of $538 million;
 iii. A 49.9% economic interest in LCM Partner Group of $186 million (2023 – $189 million);
 iv. A 35% economic interest in Primary Wave of $147 million (2023 – $110 million);
 v. An approximate 11% economic interest in Pretium of $351 million for which the Asset Management Company has elected the fair value option under ASC 825 Financial Instruments upon initial recognition with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For the year ended December 31, 2024, a gain (loss) of nil has been recognized on the value of the investment;
 vi. A number of general partner interests in our private funds; and other various equity method investments.
 Oaktree
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company increased its investment in Oaktree resulting in a step-up in the basis of the investment. The step-up occurred due to the Company's purchase of additional equity interest, which increased the Company's ownership percentage from approximately 68% to approximately 73%. The Company accounted for the step-up in basis by allocating the excess of the purchase price over the proportionate share of the book value of the net assets acquired to the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well as goodwill. The amortization of the basis difference will be recognized over the respective useful lives of the identified assets and liabilities. The allocation to goodwill will not be amortized.
 Castlelake
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company acquired an interest in Castlelake for cash consideration of $489 million. The interest acquired entitles the Company to a 51% stake in Castlelake's fee-related earnings, a 7.5% stake in carried interest from Castlelake's managed funds, 20% of returns from GP commitments, and 51% of GP commitments for in-market and future Castlelake funds. As part of the purchase agreement, the Company may be required to make additional payments as contingent consideration based on Castlelake's fee-related earnings from 2024 to 2026. The Company has estimated the day one value of this contingent consideration which is included as part of the initial investment. Additionally, certain put and call options were entered into as part of the arrangement and the underlying value has been separately recognized from the day one value of the equity method investment.
 SVB Capital
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company, along with our partner, Sequoia Heritage, completed the acquisition of SVB Capital for $18 million of which the Company's interest is 50%. As part of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of Redwood Evergreen Fund LP for $249 million. The Company's interest in SVB Capital has been accounted for as an equity method investment and the investment in the fund has been classified as a disposal group held for sale as a sale is expected to be completed during the first half of the 2025 fiscal year. As of December 31, 2024, Redwood Evergreen Fund LP is measured at fair value less costs to sell at $242 million, and the difference from the acquisition price has been recognized in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations.
 The Company recognized in Share of Income from Equity Method Investments in its Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations its share of earnings (losses) from all of its equity method investments of $339 million (2023 – $167 million; 2022 – $146 million) for the year ended December 31, 2024.
 The summarized financial information of all of the Company's equity method investees, in aggregate, as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, is as follows:

 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no single issuer or investment, including derivative instruments and underlying portfolio investments of the Consolidated Funds, had a fair value that exceeded 5% of the Company's total assets.
 Net gains (losses) from investment activities in the Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations consist primarily of realized and unrealized gains and losses on the consolidated funds' investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign-denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other financial instruments. Upon disposition of an investment, unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no gains or losses recognized from investment activities (2023 – nil).

 4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
 The Company consolidates certain VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary either directly or indirectly, through another consolidated entity. VIEs include certain credit focused entities within the Oaktree platform, whereby the purpose of such VIEs is to provide a vehicle that allocates our share of its performance-based fees between the Company and BN, as well as certain consolidated funds where BAM is the primary beneficiary. The fundamental risks of these consolidated VIEs, mainly include loss of invested capital and performance-based fees. The Company does not provide performance guarantees and has no other financial obligation to provide funding to consolidated VIEs. The assets of consolidated VIEs may only be used to settle obligations of these entities. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs' liabilities. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had unfunded commitments of $750 million to the consolidated funds.

 The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated as it has been determined that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. VIEs that are not consolidated predominately include investment funds sponsored by or managed by the Company. The Company's investment strategies differ by investment fund; however, the fundamental risks have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and loss of management and performance income. The Company's maximum exposure to loss as a result of its investments in the unconsolidated investment funds is the carrying value of such investments, including the Company's capital interest and any unrealized carried interest. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not provide any financial and other support to unconsolidated VIEs other than its obligated commitments.

 The assets and liabilities recognized in the Company's Consolidated and Combined Balance Sheets related to its maximum exposure to loss of those VIEs of which the Company is determined not to be the primary beneficiary, the non-consolidated VIEs, are as follows:

 Level III Measurements
 The fair value measurement of items categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy is subject to valuation uncertainty arising from the use of significant unobservable inputs. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of financial assets and liabilities recurringly measured at fair value are discount rates, capitalization rates, volatility assumptions, and inputs to prescribed settlement formulas on certain of our options. Significant changes in these inputs in isolation would have resulted in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.
 The following tables summarize the quantitative inputs and assumptions used for items categorized in Level III of the fair value hierarchy as at December 31, 2024 and 2023:

 Under the Escrowed Stock ("ES") Plans, executives are granted common shares (the "ES Shares") in one or more private escrowed companies that own Class A shares of BAM, the Asset Management Company, and BN. The ES Shares generally vest over five years and must be held to the fifth anniversary of the grant date. At a date no more than ten years from the grant date, all outstanding ES Shares will be exchanged for Class A shares issued by BN or BAM based on the increase in market value between the date of grant and date of exercise of the respective Class A shares at the time of the exchange. An equal number of Class A shares held in the private escrow companies may be cancelled such that the issuance of shares to employees is non-dilutive. In general, the shares issued on exchange will be less than the Class A shares purchased under the ES Plan resulting in a net reduction in the number of Class A shares issued. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the total expense incurred with respect to the ES Plan totaled $20 million (2023 – $14 million; 2022 – $51 million).
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, a subsidiary of the Asset Management Company, as part of establishing various equity-based compensation vehicles associated with the ES Plans, issued a total of 7,797,441 class A preferred shares to BN and BAM for consideration of $147 million and $48 million, respectively. The class A preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the holder

 and the issuer at a redemption amount of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and these preferred shares are non-voting. The consideration received for this share issuance was the contribution of 3,671,149 of the Asset Management Company's common shares by BN and the contribution of 1,232,151 common shares of the Asset Management Company by BAM. The Asset Management Company has utilized the common shares received to structure various equity-based compensation vehicles owned by the Asset Management Company.

 The Restricted Stock Plan awards executives with Class A shares of BN and BAM purchased on the open market ("Restricted Shares"). Under the Restricted Stock Plan, Restricted Shares awarded vest over a period of up to five years, except for Restricted Shares awarded in lieu of a cash bonus, which may vest immediately. Vested and unvested Restricted Shares are subject to a hold period of up to five years. Holders of Restricted Shares are entitled to vote Restricted Shares and to receive associated dividends. Employee compensation expense for the Restricted Stock Plan is charged against income over the vesting period.
 Compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $51 million (2023 – $48 million; 2022 – $55 million).

 The Deferred Share Unit ("DSU") Plan provides for the issuance of DSUs. Under the plan, qualifying employees and directors receive varying percentages of their annual incentive bonus or directors' fees in the form of DSUs. The DSUs vest over periods of up to five years, and accumulate additional DSUs at the same rate as dividends on Class A shares of BN and BAM based on the market value of the Class A shares at the time of the dividend. Participants are not allowed to convert DSUs into cash until retirement or cessation of employment.
 The value of the DSUs, when converted to cash, will be equivalent to the market value of the Class A shares of BN and BAM at the time the conversion takes place. The fair value of the vested DSUs as at December 31, 2024 was $150 million (December 31, 2023 – $160 million).
 Employee compensation expense for these plans is charged against net income over the vesting period of the DSUs. For those awards issued as part of the 2022 Arrangement, the mark-to-market movement is recoverable from BN. The amount payable in respect of vested DSUs changes as a result of dividends and share price movements. All of the amounts attributable to changes in the amounts payable by the Company are recorded as employee compensation expense in the period of the change. For the year ended December 31, 2024, employee compensation expense totaled $42 million (2023 – $15 million; 2022 – recovery of $195 million).

 Restricted Share Unit Plan
 The Restricted Share Unit ("RSU") Plan provides for the issuance of RSUs. Under the plan, qualifying employees and directors receive varying percentages of their annual incentive bonus or directors' fees in the form of RSUs. The RSUs vest over periods of up to five years. Participants are not allowed to convert RSUs into cash until retirement or cessation of employment. The value of the RSUs, when converted into cash, will be equivalent to the difference between the market price of equivalent number of Class A shares of BN or BAM at the time the conversion takes place and the market price on the date the RSUs are granted.
 Employee compensation expense for these plans is charged against net income over the vesting period of the RSUs. For those awards issued as part of the 2022 Arrangement, the mark-to-market movement is recoverable from BN. The amount payable in respect of vested RSUs changes as a result of dividends and share price movements. All of the amounts attributable to changes in the amounts payable by the Company are recorded as employee compensation expense in the period of the change.
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the RSU Plan was settled and participating employees and directors of the Asset Management Company received a cash settlement equal to the value of the RSUs at the date of settlement or an option to acquire preferred shares in subsidiaries of BN with a redemption value equal to the value of their RSUs on the date of the settlement of the RSU plan.
 The value of the outstanding options associated with the settlement of the RSU plan as at December 31, 2024 was $21 million (2023 – $nil) and the fair value of outstanding RSUs was $nil (December 31, 2023 – $21 million).
 For the year ended December 31, 2024, employee compensation expense totaled $1 million (2023 – recovery of $3 million).

 BUSHI and BMHL Tracking Shares
 In December 2022, at the time of the spin-off, BUSHI and BMHL, subsidiaries of the Company, entered into arrangements with BN whereby BUSHI and BMHL issued preferred shares to BN in exchange for BN's holdings in BUSHI's and BMHL's common shares.
 The preferred shares, which we also refer to as Tracking Shares, represent a class of ownership senior to common stock and subordinate to debt and are entitled to quarterly dividends when declared by BUSHI and BMHL. The BUSHI preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the issuer, whose board is controlled by the holder, after 10 years and the BMHL preferred shares are redeemable when a redemption triggering event has occurred. As the Company does not solely control the redemption event, these preferred shares are accounted for as redeemable non-controlling interests.
 Class B senior preferred and preferred shares
 In addition to the Tracking Shares, BUSHI has also issued class B senior preferred shares and class B preferred shares. The class B senior preferred shares entitle the holder to cumulative preferential cash dividends at $1.36375 per share per annum and are ranked senior to the Tracking Shares, class B preferred shares and common shares. The class B senior preferred shares are redeemable by the issuer, whose board is controlled by BN, upon the tenth anniversary of issuance at a redemption amount of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividend. The class B preferred shares are redeemable at the option of both the holder and the issuer at $25 per share (the redemption amount) plus unpaid dividends. These preferred shares are non-voting and rank junior to the BUSHI tracking shares and senior to common shares of the entity, and are entitled to non-cumulative cash dividends at 6.7% per annum on their redemption amount.
 Class A preferred shares
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, a subsidiary of the Asset Management Company issued 5,909,372 class A preferred shares to BN and 1,888,059 class A preferred shares to BAM for consideration of $148 million and $47 million, respectively. The class A preferred shares are redeemable at the option of the holder and the issuer at a redemption amount of $25 per share plus accrued and unpaid dividends and these preferred shares are non-voting. Refer to Note 9 for further details.
 The Company accounts for the changes in the value of the redeemable non-controlling interest in accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity. The Company elects for the BUSHI tracking shares and class B senior preferred shares to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. As the BMHL tracking shares are not currently redeemable and management has determined that it is not probable that the instrument will become redeemable no subsequent adjustment in the value of the preferred shares is expected. The BUSHI class B preferred shares are currently redeemable and are therefore measured at their redemption amount at each reporting

 date. However, no adjustment to the carrying value of the class B preferred shares is expected as dividends declared are expected to be paid on or prior to each reporting date.

 11. NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST
 Upon completion of the 2022 Arrangement, the Company issued various classes of equity interests of the Company's subsidiaries to BN which have rights to priority distributions. Net income (loss) generated by the respective subsidiaries is allocated to non-controlling interest in consolidated entities based on the substantive contractual terms of the subsidiaries' governing agreements that specify the allocation of income or loss. Majority of income attributable to non-controlling interest is comprised of BN's one third share of carried interest revenue generated on new funds.

Amortization of intangible assets held at December 31, 2024 is expected to be $3 million, $2 million, $2 million, and $2 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2025, 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively.
 In accordance with ASC 350 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, management has performed an annual impairment assessment of goodwill. In each instance the fair value was found to be in excess of the carrying value of the relevant reporting unit.
 In addition, an assessment of impairment was performed with respect to certain intangible assets and no impairment was identified.
 The fair value of the reporting units for both goodwill and intangibles was determined utilizing a discounted cashflow model along with inputs from assessing multiples of publicly traded companies.
 The key assumptions used in the calculation of fair value included assumptions on growth rates, effective tax rates, operating margins, and the weighted average cost of capital, ("WACC"). Specifically, we calculated the residual value by dividing the residual free cash flow by a capitalization rate equal to the WACC 14.5% (2023 – 15.5%) minus the expected long-term growth rate of the free cash flows 4.0% (2023 – 3.0%). No significant changes have occurred since the impairment test was performed.

As at December 31, 2024, the Company has not made any draws on the $750 million facility.
 Guarantees
 The Company may from time to time enter into guarantees to assist the general partners of specific funds in securing financing. In the event that the general partners default on their financing obligations, the Company will be liable for outstanding payments under the guarantees. As at December 31, 2024, the Company had $300 million of such guarantees outstanding (December 31, 2023 –$nil).
 Contingencies
 Carried interests clawback
 Carried interests are realized when an underlying investment is profitably disposed of after the fund's cumulative returns have met a certain thresholds for return of capital. When applicable, the Company records a liability for potential clawback obligations due to changes in the unrealized value of a fund's remaining investments and where the Company has previously received carried interest distributions.
 The actual clawback liability, however, generally does not become payable until the end of a fund's life. No liability for potential clawback obligations has been recorded associated with any of our funds as at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
 Litigation
 The Company may from time to time be involved in litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. The Company's businesses are also subject to extensive regulation, which may result in regulatory proceedings against the Company. As of December 31, 2024 there is no outstanding litigation.
 The Company accrues a liability for legal proceedings only when those matters present loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable. In such cases, there may be exposure to loss in excess of any amounts accrued. Although there can be no assurance of the outcome of such legal actions, based on information known by management, the Company does not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceeding or claim that would individually or in the aggregate materially affect its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
 Taxation
 We operate in jurisdictions with differing tax laws and tax regulations. Certain jurisdictions in which we operate have proposed draft legislation, which if not enacted in their current form, may result in a change to our effective income tax rate.

 These tax laws and regulations are complex and involve uncertainties in the application to our facts and circumstances that may be open to interpretation. We recognize benefits for these uncertain tax positions based upon a process that requires judgment regarding the technical application of the laws, regulations, and various related judicial opinions. If, in our judgment, it is more likely than not (defined as a likelihood of more than 50%) that the tax uncertainty will be resolved favorably for us, we estimate an amount that ultimately will be realized. This process is inherently subjective since it requires our assessment of the probability of future outcomes. We evaluate these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis, including consideration of changes in facts and circumstances, such as new regulations or recent judicial opinions, as well as the status of audit activities by taxing authorities. Changes to our estimate of the amount to be realized are recorded in our provision for income taxes during the period in which the change occurred.

 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 The Company evaluated events and transactions occurring from January 1, 2025 up to March 17, 2025. Except for as disclosed below, no subsequent events were identified.
 BAM Announces Completion of Enhanced Corporate Structure
 On February 4, 2025, BAM completed a corporate restructuring with BN by way of a court-approved plan of arrangement (the "2025 Plan of Arrangement"), which was originally announced on October 31, 2024, whereby BN transferred its approximate 73% interest in the Asset Management Company to BAM in exchange for newly issued Class A Shares of BAM, on a one-for-one basis (the "2025 Arrangement").
 Upon completion of the 2025 Arrangement on February 4, 2025, BAM issued 1,194,021,145 Class A Shares to BN and certain of its subsidiaries in exchange for all of the common shares of the Asset Management Company currently owned by BN and its subsidiaries on a one-for-one basis.
 The 2025 Arrangement will be accounted for as a reverse asset acquisition in which BAM ULC is considered the accounting acquirer and have issued shares to acquire the net assets of BAM. BAM will continue to be the SEC registrant and its consolidated financial statements, including historical results, other than legal share capital, will be that of BAM ULC.
 Other Items
 On March 11, 2025, the Asset Management Company completed the final close of its Brookfield Infrastructure Structured Solutions Fund ("BISS"), a middle-market infrastructure fund, achieving its fundraising target of approximately $1 billion of capital commitments. The Asset Management Company's commitment of approximately $250 million in BISS represents an approximate 24% ownership interest in the fund upon the final close.

 Report of Independent Auditors
 The Unitholders of Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group
 Opinion
 We have audited the combined and consolidated financial statements of Oaktree Capital II, L.P., Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P., Oaktree Capital Management (Cayman), L.P., and Oaktree Investment Holdings, L.P., and their consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the "Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group" or the "Company" as defined in Note 1), which comprise the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the combined and consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in unitholders' capital for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").
 In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 Basis for Opinion
 We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of the Company and to meet our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
 Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
 Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
 In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for one year after the date that the financial statements are available to be issued.
 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
 Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free of material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.
 In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:
 • Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.
 • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 • Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.
 • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements.
 • Conclude whether, in our judgment, there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.
 We are required to communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit, significant audit findings, and certain internal control-related matters that we identified during the audit.

 NOTES TO THE COMBINED AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 As of and for the years ended December 2024, 2023, and 2022

 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 Oaktree is a leader among global investment managers specializing in alternative investments. Oaktree emphasizes an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in credit, equity, and real estate. Funds managed by Oaktree (the "Oaktree funds") include commingled funds, separate accounts, collateralized loan obligation vehicles ("CLOs") and business development companies ("BDCs"). Commingled funds include open-end and closed-end limited partnerships in which Oaktree makes an investment and for which it serves as the general partner. CLOs are structured finance vehicles in which Oaktree typically makes an investment and for which it serves as collateral manager.
 The Oaktree business is conducted through a group of six operating entities collectively referred to as the "Oaktree Operating Group." The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements include the five operating entities that represent operations related to Brookfield Asset Management ULC ("Brookfield Asset Management Company"). These entities, which are under common control by Oaktree Capital Group Holdings, L.P. ("OCGH"), include Oaktree Capital II, L.P. ("Oaktree Capital II"), Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. ("OCM"), Oaktree AIF Investments, L.P. ("Oaktree AIF"), Oaktree Capital Management (Cayman) L.P. ("OCM Cayman") and Oaktree Investment Holdings, L.P. ("Oaktree Investment Holdings) and their consolidated subsidiaries (herein collectively referred to as "Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group," "Oaktree", or the "Company").
 The Company's current ownership and operational structure through December 31, 2024 were the results of (i) certain mergers with affiliates of Brookfield Corporation ("BN") completed on September 30, 2019 ("Merger") and a subsequent restructuring ("Restructuring") completed on October 1, 2019 in connection with the Merger, and (ii) a subsequent restructuring ("2022 Restructuring") completed on November 30, 2022 to facilitate the separation of Brookfield's capital business and asset management business (collectively, the Mergers). See audited consolidated financial statements included in Brookfield Oaktree Holdings, LLC's ("BOH") Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for more information regarding the Merger and Restructuring. See Item 1.01 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on December 6, 2022 for more information about the 2022 Restructuring.
 The interests in the Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group are referred to as the "Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group units." An Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group unit is not a separate legal interest but represents one limited partnership interest in each of the Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group entities. As of December 31, 2024, total outstanding Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group units was 160,195,444.
 OCGH, which is owned by Oaktree's senior executives, current and former employees, and certain other investors has a direct economic interest in each of the five Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group entities.
 As of December 31, 2024, Brookfield Asset Management Company owned approximately 73% of the Company and the senior executives of the Company controlled 79% of the total combined voting power.
 Brookfield Asset Management Company and Brookfield Corporation are collectively referred to as "Brookfield".
 Basis of Presentation
 The accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The combined and consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. Certain of the Oaktree funds consolidated by the Company are investment companies that follow a specialized basis of accounting established by GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in combination and consolidation.
 Use of Estimates
 The preparation of the combined and consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the combined and consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the period then ended. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 Accounting Policies of the Company
 Consolidation
 The Company consolidates entities in which it has a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. A limited partnership or similar entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") if the unaffiliated limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. Most of the Oaktree funds are VIEs because they have not granted unaffiliated limited partners substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Company consolidates those VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. An entity is deemed to be the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is defined as (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The consolidation guidance requires an analysis to determine (a) whether an entity in which the Company holds a variable interest is a VIE and (b) whether the Company's involvement, through holding interests directly or indirectly in the entity or contractually through other variable interests (e.g., management and performance-based fees), would give it a controlling financial interest. A decision maker's fee arrangement is not considered a variable interest if (a) it is compensation for services provided, commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, and part of a compensation arrangement that includes only terms, conditions or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm's length ("at-market"), and (b) the decision maker does not hold any other variable interests that absorb more than an insignificant amount of the potential VIE's expected residual returns.
 The Company determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion at each reporting date. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company evaluates its economic interests in the entity held either directly by the Company or indirectly through related parties. The consolidation analysis can generally be performed qualitatively; however, if it is not readily apparent that the Company is not the primary beneficiary, a quantitative analysis may also be performed. Investments and redemptions (either by the Company, affiliates of the Company or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective Oaktree funds could affect an entity's status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary. The Company does not consolidate most of the Oaktree funds because it is not the primary beneficiary of those funds due to the fact that its fee arrangements are considered at-market and thus not deemed to be variable interests, and it does not hold any other interests in those funds that are considered to be more than insignificant. Please see note 4 for more information regarding both consolidated and unconsolidated VIEs. For entities that are not VIEs, consolidation is evaluated through a majority voting interest model.
 "Consolidated funds" refers to Oaktree-managed funds and CLOs that the Company is required to consolidate. When funds or CLOs are consolidated, the Company reflects the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of the funds or CLOs on a gross basis, and the majority of the economic interests in those funds or CLOs, which are held by third-party investors, are reflected as non-controlling interests in consolidated funds or debt obligations of CLOs in the combined and consolidated financial statements. All of the revenues earned by the Company as investment manager of the consolidated funds are eliminated in consolidation. However, because the eliminated amounts are earned from and funded by third-party investors, the consolidation of a fund does not impact net income or loss attributable to the Company.
 Certain entities in which the Company has the ability to exert significant influence, including unconsolidated Oaktree funds for which the Company acts as general partner, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
 Non-controlling Redeemable Interests in Consolidated Funds
 The Company records non-controlling interests to reflect the economic interests of the unaffiliated limited partners. These interests are presented as non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds within the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition, outside of the permanent capital section. Limited partners in open-end and evergreen funds generally have the right to withdraw their capital, subject to the terms of the respective limited partnership agreements, over periods ranging from one month to three years. While limited partners in consolidated closed-end funds generally have not been granted redemption rights, these limited partners do have withdrawal or redemption rights in certain limited circumstances that are beyond the control of the Company, such as instances in which retaining the limited partnership interest could cause the limited partner to violate a law, regulation or rule.
 The allocation of net income or loss to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds is based on the relative ownership interests of the unaffiliated limited partners after the consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss. At the consolidated level, potential incentives are allocated to non-controlling redeemable interests in consolidated funds until such incentives become allocable to the Company under the substantive contractual terms of the limited partnership agreements of the funds.

 Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries
 Non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries reflect the portion of unitholders' capital attributable to OCGH unitholders ("OCGH non-controlling interest") and third parties. All non-controlling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are attributed a share of income or loss in the respective consolidated subsidiary based on the relative economic interests of the OCGH unitholders or third parties after consideration of contractual arrangements that govern allocations of income or loss.
 Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring financial instruments at fair value into three levels based on their market observability. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, such as the type of instrument and the characteristics specific to the instrument. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices from an active market or for which fair value can be measured based on actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment inherent in measuring fair value.
 Financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified as follows:
 • Level I – Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which the Company has access at the date of measurement. The types of investments in Level I include exchange-traded equities, debt and derivatives with quoted prices.
 • Level II – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are directly or indirectly observable. Level II inputs include interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment risks, loss severities, credit risks and default rates. The types of investments in Level II generally include corporate bonds and loans, government and agency securities, less liquid and restricted equity investments, over-the-counter traded derivatives, debt obligations of consolidated CLOs, and other investments where the fair value is based on observable inputs.
 • Level III – Valuations for which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. These inputs reflect the Company's assessment of the assumptions that market participants use to value the investment based on the best available information. Level III inputs include prices of quoted securities in markets for which there are few transactions, less public information exists or prices vary among brokered market makers. The types of investments in Level III include non-publicly traded equity, debt, real estate and derivatives.
 In some instances, the inputs used to value an instrument may fall into multiple levels of the fair-value hierarchy. In such instances, the instrument's level within the fair-value hierarchy is based on the lowest of the three levels (with Level III being the lowest) that is significant to the fair-value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of an input requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument. Transfers of assets into or out of each fair value hierarchy level as a result of changes in the observability of the inputs used in measuring fair value are accounted for as of the beginning of the reporting period. Transfers resulting from a specific event, such as a reorganization or restructuring, are accounted for as of the date of the event that caused the transfer.
 In the absence of observable market prices, the Company values Level III investments inclusive of the Company's investments in unconsolidated Oaktree funds using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. The quarterly valuation process for Level III investments begins with each portfolio company, property or security being valued by the investment and/or valuation teams. With the exception of open-end funds, all unquoted Level III investment values are reviewed and approved by (i) the Company's valuation officer, who is independent of the investment teams, (ii) a designated investment professional of each strategy and (iii) for a substantial majority of unquoted Level III holdings as measured by market value, a valuation committee of the respective strategy. For open-end funds, unquoted Level III investment values are reviewed and approved by the Company's valuation officer. For certain investments, the valuation process also includes a review by independent valuation parties, at least annually, to determine whether the fair values determined by management are reasonable. Results of the valuation process are evaluated each quarter, including an assessment of whether the underlying calculations should be adjusted or recalibrated. In connection with this process, the Company periodically evaluates changes in fair-value measurements for reasonableness, considering items such as industry trends, general economic and market conditions, and factors specific to the investment.
 Certain assets are valued using prices obtained from pricing vendors or brokers. The Company seeks to obtain prices from at least two pricing vendors for the subject or similar securities. In cases where vendor pricing is not reflective of fair value, a secondary vendor is unavailable, or no vendor pricing is available, a comparison value made up of quotes for the subject or similar securities received from broker dealers may be used. These investments may be classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions. The Company evaluates the prices obtained from brokers or pricing vendors based on available market information, including trading activity of the subject or similar securities, or by performing a comparable security analysis to ensure that fair values are reasonably estimated. The Company also performs back-testing of valuation information obtained from pricing vendors and brokers against actual prices received in transactions. In addition to ongoing monitoring and back-testing, the Company performs due

 diligence procedures surrounding pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process.
 Fair Value Option
 The Company has elected the fair value option for the financial assets and financial liabilities of its consolidated CLOs. The assets and liabilities of CLOs are primarily reflected within the investments, at fair value and within the debt obligations of CLOs line items in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company's accounting for CLO assets is similar to its accounting for its funds with respect to both carrying investments held by CLOs at fair value and the valuation methods used to determine the fair value of those investments. The fair value of CLO liabilities is measured as the fair value of CLO assets less the sum of (a) the fair value of any beneficial interests held by the Company and (b) the carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. Realized gains or losses and changes in the fair value of CLO assets, respectively, are included in net realized gain on consolidated funds' investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Interest income of CLOs is included in interest and dividend income, and interest expense and other expenses, respectively, are included in interest expense and consolidated fund expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Changes in the fair value of a CLO's financial liabilities in accordance with the CLO measurement guidance are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Please see notes 6 and 8 for more information.
 Foreign Currency
 The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries with non-U.S. dollar functional currencies are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. The results of foreign operations are translated at the weighted average exchange rate for each reporting period. Translation adjustments are included in other comprehensive income (loss) within the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition until realized. Gains and losses resulting from foreign-currency transactions are included in general and administrative expense.
 Derivatives and Hedging
 A derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying financial instrument or index, such as interest rates, equity securities, currencies, commodities or credit spreads. Derivatives include futures, forwards, swaps or option contracts, and other financial instruments with similar characteristics. Derivative contracts often involve future commitments to exchange interest payment streams or currencies based on a notional or contractual amount (e.g., interest-rate swaps, foreign-currency forwards or cross-currency swaps).
 The Company enters into derivatives as part of its overall risk management strategy or to facilitate its investment management activities. The Company manages its exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange market risks, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivatives, including foreign currency forward and option contracts, interest-rate and cross currency swaps with financial counterparties. Risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and foreign-currency exchange rates in the normal course of business are addressed as part of the Company's overall risk management strategy that may result in the use of derivatives to economically hedge or reduce these exposures. From time to time, the Company may enter into (a) foreign-currency option and forward contracts to reduce earnings and cash-flow volatility associated with changes in foreign-currency exchange rates, and (b) interest-rate swaps to manage all or a portion of the interest-rate risk associated with its variable-rate borrowings. As a result of the use of these or other derivative contracts, the Company is exposed to the risk that counterparties will fail to fulfill their contractual obligations. The Company attempts to mitigate this counterparty risk by entering into derivative contracts only with major financial institutions that have investment-grade credit ratings. Counterparty credit risk is evaluated in determining the fair value of derivatives.
 The Company recognizes all derivatives as assets or liabilities in its combined and consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value. In connection with its derivative activities, the Company generally enters into agreements subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that allow the Company to offset derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by specific derivative type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. While these derivatives are eligible to be offset in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has elected to present derivative assets and liabilities based on gross fair value in its combined and consolidated statements of financial condition.
 When the Company enters into a derivative contract, it may or may not elect to designate the derivative as a hedging instrument and apply hedge accounting as part of its overall risk management strategy. In other situations, when a derivative does not qualify for hedge accounting or when the derivative and the hedged item are both recorded in current-period earnings and thus deemed to be economic hedges, hedge accounting is not applied. Freestanding derivatives are financial instruments that we enter into as part of our overall risk management strategy but do not utilize hedge accounting. These financial instruments may include foreign-currency exchange contracts, interest-rate swaps and other derivative contracts.

 Leases
 The Company determines whether an arrangement contains a lease at inception. A lease is a contract that provides the right to control an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For identified leases, the Company determines whether it should be classified as an operating or finance lease. Operating leases are recorded in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition as separate line items: right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and operating lease liabilities represent the Company's obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date of the lease and measured based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use asset amount also includes deferred rent liabilities and lease incentives. The Company's lease arrangements generally do not provide an implicit rate. As a result, in such situations the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company may also include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option in the measurement of its right-of-use assets and liabilities. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. Please see note 11 for more information.
 Cash and Cash-equivalents
 Cash and cash-equivalents include demand deposit accounts, money market funds and other short-term investments with maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition.
 At December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had cash balances with financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. The Company monitors the credit standing of these financial institutions.
 Restricted cash consists of balances that are not readily available for the Company's general operating needs, typically due to collateral, escrow, or legal requirements. The Company presents restricted cash in Other Assets.
 U.S. Treasury and Other Securities
 U.S. Treasury and other securities include holdings of U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, time deposit securities, commercial paper and investment grade debt securities, including sovereign debt, domestic and international corporate fixed and floating rate debt, structured credit and debt issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities with maturities greater than three months from the date of acquisition. These securities are classified as trading and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in investment income. The interest income earned on the U.S. Treasury and other securities is included in the interest and dividend income.
 Corporate investments consist of investments in funds, including carried interest, companies in which the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and non-investment grade debt securities. Investments for which the Company is deemed to exert significant influence are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and reflect Oaktree's ownership interest in each fund or company. In the case of investments for which the Company is not deemed to exert significant influence or control, the fair value option of accounting has been elected. Investment income represents the Company's pro-rata share of income or loss from these funds or companies, or the change in fair value of the investment, as applicable. When we make an investment that qualifies for the equity method of accounting, there may be a difference in the purchase price of the investment and the proportional interest in the underlying equity in the net assets of the investee — often referred to as a basis difference. The basis difference of $91.8 million on the Company's investment in 17Capital Newco Limited is amortized against the Company's equity earnings included in investment income. We amortized $23.7 million and $25.0 million of the basis difference for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Oaktree's general partnership interests are generally illiquid. While investments in funds reflect each respective fund's holdings at fair value, equity-method investments in 17Capital Newco Limited, DoubleLine Capital LP and its affiliates (collectively, "DoubleLine") and other companies are not adjusted to reflect the fair value of the underlying company. The fair value of the underlying investments in Oaktree funds is based on the Company's assessment, which takes into account expected cash flows, earnings multiples and/or comparisons to similar market transactions, among other factors. Valuation adjustments reflecting consideration of credit quality, concentration risk, sales restrictions and other liquidity factors are integral to valuing these instruments.
 Non-investment grade debt securities include domestic and international corporate fixed and floating rating debt and structured credit investments. These securities are classified as trading and are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value included in investment income.
 Revenue Recognition
 The Company earns management fees, carried interest, and incentive fees from the investment advisory services it provides to its customers. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised services is transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services. The Company typically enters into contracts with

 investment funds to provide investment management and administrative services. These services are generally capable of being distinct and each is accounted for as separate performance obligations comprised of distinct service periods because the services are performed over time. The Company determined that for accounting purposes, based on certain facts and circumstances specific to each investment fund structure, that either the investment fund or individual investors may be considered the customer with respect to commingled funds, while the individual investors are the customers with respect to separate account and fund-of-one vehicles. In cases where the individual investors are determined to be the customer, placement fees may be capitalized as a cost to acquire a customer contract. Capitalized placement fees are amortized over the life of the customer contract. The Company receives management fees, carried interest, and incentive fees with respect to its investment management services, and it is reimbursed by the funds for expenses incurred or paid on behalf of the funds with respect to its investment advisory services and its administrative services. The Company evaluates whether it is the principal (i.e., report as management fees on a gross basis) or agent (i.e., report as management fees on a net basis) with respect to each performance obligation and associated reimbursement arrangements. The Company has elected to apply the variable consideration exemption for its fee arrangements with its customers. Please see note 3 for more information on revenues.
 Management Fees
 Management fees are recognized over the period in which the investment management services are performed because customers simultaneously consume and receive benefits that are satisfied over time. The contractual terms of management fees generally vary by fund structure. For closed-end funds, the management fee rate is generally applied against committed capital, contributed capital, or cost basis during the fund's investment period and the lesser of aggregate contributed capital or cost basis of assets in the liquidation period. For closed-end funds that pay management fees based on committed capital, Oaktree may elect to delay the start of the fund's investment period and thus its full management fees, in which case it earns management fees based on contributed capital, until the Company elects to start the fund's investment period. The Company's right to receive management fees typically ends after 10 or 11 years from the start of the investment period, even if assets remain in the fund. In the case of CLOs, the management fee is based on the aggregate par value of collateral assets and principal cash, as defined in the applicable CLO indentures, and a portion of the management fees is dependent on the sufficiency of the particular vehicle's cash flow. For open-end and evergreen funds, the management fee is generally based on the NAV of the fund. For the BDCs, the management fee is based on gross assets (including assets acquired with leverage), net of cash or net assets. In the case of certain open-end fund accounts, the Company has the potential to earn performance-based fees, typically in reference to a relevant benchmark index or hurdle rate, which are classified as management fees. The Company also earns quarterly incentive fees on the investment income from certain evergreen funds, such as the BDCs and other fund accounts, which are generally recurring in nature and reflected as management fees.
 The ultimate amount of management fees that will be earned over the life of the contract is subject to a large number and broad range of possible outcomes due to market volatility and other factors outside of Oaktree's control. As a result, the amount of revenue earned in any given period is generally determined at the end of each reporting period and relates to services performed during that period. Included in this amount is a gross-up for reimbursable costs incurred on behalf of the Oaktree funds in which the Company has determined it is the principal within the principal and agent relationship of the related fund. Such reimbursable costs are presented in compensation and benefits and general and administrative expenses.
 Incentive fees earned on the performance of certain fund structures are recognized based on the fund's performance during the period, subject to the achievement of minimum return levels with the respective returns set out in each fund's investment management agreement. Incentives are typically subject to reversal until the end of a defined performance period, as these fees are affected by changes in the fair value of the assets under management or advisement over such performance period.
 The Company recognizes incentive fees only when these amounts are realized and no longer subject to significant risk of reversal, which is typically at the end of a defined performance period and/or upon expiration of the associated clawback period (i.e., crystallization).
 Carried interest allocation
 Carried interest is earned from those arrangements where the Company has a general partner capital interest and is entitled to a disproportionate allocation of investment income (referred to hereafter as "carried interest"). Each of these general partners is generally entitled to a carried interest that allocates to it 20% of the net profits realized by the limited partners from the fund's investment subject to the return of contributed capital and a preferred return of typically 8% per annum to the limited partners. The Company accounts for its general partner interests in capital allocation-based arrangements as financial instruments and records equity method income based on the proportionate share of the income of the investment fund, including carried interest, assuming the investment fund was liquidated as of each reporting date pursuant to each investment fund's governing agreements. Accordingly, carried interest allocations are not deemed to be within the scope of ASC 606.
 Carried interest is allocated to the general partner based on cumulative fund performance to date, and where applicable, subject to a preferred return to the funds' limited partners. At the end of each reporting period, the Company calculates the carried interest that would be due to the Company for each investment fund, pursuant to the fund agreements, as if the fair value of the underlying

 investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as carried interest to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in unrealized carried interest or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to the Company to be less than the amount previously recognized, resulting in a negative adjustment to unrealized carried interest. The Company ceases to record negative unrealized carried interest once previously recognized unrealized carried interest for an investment fund have been fully reversed. Unrealized carried interest reverses when carried interest is realized.
 Total Compensation and Benefits
 Compensation and Benefits
 Compensation and benefits expense reflects all compensation-related items not directly related to incentive fees and carried interest allocation, investment income or equity-based compensation, and includes salaries, bonuses, compensation based on management fees or a definition of profits, employee benefits, payroll taxes, phantom equity awards, and long-term incentive plan. Bonuses are generally accrued over the related service period. Phantom equity awards represent liability-classified awards subject to vesting and remeasurement at the end of each reporting period. The remeasurement is based on changes in the value of OCGH or OEP units, as applicable.
 Equity-based Compensation
 Equity-based compensation expense reflects the non-cash charge associated with grants of Converted OCGH units, OCGH units, Oaktree Equity Plan ("OEP" or the "Plan") units, Oaktree Equity Units ("OEU"), deferred equity units and other performance-based units, and is calculated based on the grant-date fair value of the unit award.
 Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., awards vested at grant) are expensed immediately. Equity-based awards that require future service are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. Cash-settled equity-based awards are classified as liabilities and are remeasured at the end of each reporting period.
 With respect to forfeitures, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur. Accordingly, no forfeitures have been assumed in the calculation of compensation expense.
 Performance Related Compensation
 Performance related compensation expense primarily reflects compensation directly related to carried interest and incentive fees, which generally consists of percentage interests (sometimes referred to as "points") that the Company grants to its investment professionals associated with the particular fund that generates the incentive fees and carried interest allocation, and secondarily, compensation directly related to investment income. The Company has an obligation to pay a fixed percentage of the carried interest earned from a particular fund to specified investment professionals responsible for the management of the fund. Performance related compensation is recognized in the same period that the related carried interests are recognized. Performance related compensation can be reversed during periods when there is a reversal of carried interest that was previously recognized.
 Performance related compensation payable represents the amounts payable to professionals who are entitled to a proportionate share of carried interest in one or more funds. The liability is calculated based upon the change to realize and unrealized carried interest but not payable until the carried interest itself is realized.
 Fixed Assets
 Fixed assets consist of furniture and equipment, capitalized software, office leasehold improvements and a company-owned aircraft and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
 Depreciation and Amortization
 Depreciation and amortization expense includes costs associated with the purchase of furniture and equipment, capitalized software, office leasehold improvements, corporate aircraft and acquired intangibles. Furniture and equipment and capitalized software costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, generally three to five years beginning in the first full month after the asset is placed in service. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the respective estimated useful life or the lease term. The corporate aircraft is depreciated using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life of twenty years. Acquired intangibles primarily relate to contractual rights and are amortized over their estimated useful lives on a straight-line basis, which range from seven to 25 years.
 Goodwill and Intangibles
 Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred.

 The Company's acquired identifiable intangible assets primarily relate to contractual rights to earn future management fees and incentive fee. Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range from seven to 25 years, and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable.
 Other Income (Expense), Net
 Other income (expense), net represents non-operating income or expense items.
 Income Taxes
 The five limited partnerships of the Company are treated as partnerships for tax purposes, with the tax effects of its activities flowing through to the income tax returns of its unitholders. Consequently, no provision for income taxes is made except for non-U.S. and state and local income taxes incurred directly by the Company. The Company recorded tax expense of $20.1 million, $16.2 million and $26.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
 Oaktree analyzes its tax filing positions for all open tax years in all of the non-U.S. and state and local tax jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns. If the Company determines that uncertainties in tax positions exist, a reserve is established. Oaktree recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within income tax expense in the consolidated and combined statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there is an income tax reserve balance of $3.4 million and $12.9 million.
 When assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company considers whether it is probable that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In determining whether the deferred tax assets are realizable, the Company considers the period of expiration of the tax asset, historical and projected taxable income, and tax liabilities for the tax jurisdiction in which the tax asset is located. The deferred tax asset recognized by the Company, as it relates to the higher tax basis in the carrying value of certain assets compared to the book basis of those assets, will be recognized in future years by these taxable entities. Deferred tax assets are based on the amount of the tax benefit that the Company's management has determined is more likely than not to be realized in future periods. In determining the realizability of this tax benefit, management considered numerous factors that will give rise to pre-tax income in future periods. Among these are the historical and expected future book and tax basis pre-tax income of the Company and unrealized gains in the Company's assets at the determination date. Based on these and other factors, the Company determined that, as of December 31, 2024, all deferred tax assets were more likely than not to be realized in future periods.
 The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax regulators. With limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits by taxing authorities for the years before 2021. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any current audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated and combined financial statements.
 Tax authorities currently are examining certain income tax returns of Oaktree, with a portion of these examinations at an advanced stage. Over the next four quarters through December 31, 2025, the Company believes that it is possible that one outcome of these current examinations may be the settlement of up to approximately $12.1 million of previously accrued income taxes. The Company believes that it has adequately provided for any reasonably foreseeable outcomes related to its tax examinations and that any settlements related thereto will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations; however, there can be no assurances as to the ultimate outcomes.
 Tax laws are complex and subject to different interpretations by the taxpayer and respective governmental taxing authorities. Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company reviews its tax positions quarterly and adjusts its tax balances as new information becomes available.
 The Oaktree funds are generally not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes and, consequently, no income tax provision has been made in the accompanying combined and consolidated financial statements because individual partners are responsible for their proportionate share of the taxable income.
 Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 Comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other gains and losses affecting unitholders' capital that are excluded from net income (loss). Other gains and losses result from foreign-currency translation adjustments, net of tax.
 Accounting Policies of Consolidated Funds
 Investment Transactions and Income Recognition
 The consolidated funds record investment transactions at cost on trade date for publicly-traded securities or when they have an enforceable right to acquire the security, which is generally on the closing date if not publicly traded. Realized gains and losses on investments are recorded on a specific-identification basis. The consolidated funds record dividend income on the ex-dividend date

 and interest income on an accrual basis, unless the related investment is in default or if collection of the income is otherwise considered doubtful. The consolidated funds may hold investments that provide for interest payable in-kind rather than in cash, in which case the related income is recorded at its estimated net realizable amount.
 Income Taxes
 The consolidated funds may invest in operating entities that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes which may give rise to unrelated business taxable income or income effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. In such situations, the consolidated funds permit certain investors to elect to participate in these investments through a "blocker structure" using entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are generally subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes. The consolidated funds withhold blocker expenses and tax payments from electing limited partners, which are treated as deemed distributions to such limited partners pursuant to the terms of the respective limited partnership agreement.
 Foreign Currency
 Investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies are recorded in the combined and consolidated financial statements after translation into U.S. dollars utilizing rates of exchange on the last business day of the period. Interest and dividend income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes and calculated using the exchange rate in effect when the income is recognized. The effect of changes in exchange rates on assets and liabilities, income, and realized gains or losses is included as part of net realized gain (loss) on consolidated funds' investments and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
 Cash and Cash-equivalents
 Cash and cash-equivalents held at the consolidated funds represent cash that, although not legally restricted, is not available to support the general liquidity needs of the Company as the use of such amounts is generally limited to the investment activities of the consolidated funds. Cash-equivalents, a Level I valuation, include highly liquid investments such as money market funds, whose carrying value approximates fair value due to its short-term nature.
 Receivable for Investments Sold
 Receivables for investments sold by the consolidated funds are recorded at net realizable value. Changes in net realizable value are reflected within net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments and realizations are reflected within net realized gain on consolidated funds' investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
 Investments, at Fair Value
 The consolidated funds include investment limited partnerships and CLOs that reflect their investments, including majority-owned and controlled investments, at fair value. The Company has retained the specialized investment company accounting guidance for investment limited partnerships with respect to consolidated investments and has elected the fair value option for the financial assets of CLOs. Thus, the consolidated investments are reflected in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments in the consolidated statements of operations. Fair value is the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (i.e., the exit price).
 Non-publicly traded debt and equity securities and other securities or instruments for which reliable market quotations are not available are valued by management using valuation methodologies applied on a consistent basis. These securities may initially be valued at the acquisition price as the best indicator of fair value. The Company reviews the significant unobservable inputs, valuations of comparable investments and other similar transactions for investments valued at acquisition price to determine whether another valuation methodology should be utilized. Subsequent valuations will depend on the facts and circumstances known as of the valuation date and the application of valuation methodologies as further described below under "—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments." The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date.
 Exchange-traded Investments
 Securities listed on one or more national securities exchanges are valued at their last reported sales price on the date of valuation. If no sale occurred on the valuation date, the security is valued at the mean of the last "bid" and "ask" prices on the valuation date. Securities that are not readily marketable due to legal restrictions that may limit or restrict transferability are generally valued at a discount from quoted market prices. The discount would reflect the amount market participants would require due to the risk relating to the inability to access a public market for the security for the specified period and would vary depending on the nature and duration of the restriction and the perceived risk and volatility of the underlying securities. Securities with longer duration restrictions or higher volatility are generally valued at a higher discount. Such discounts are generally estimated based on put option models or an analysis of market studies. Instances where the Company has applied discounts to quoted prices of restricted listed securities have

 been infrequent. The impact of such discounts is not material to the Company's combined and consolidated statements of financial condition and results of operations for all periods presented.
 Credit-oriented Investments (including Real Estate Loan Portfolios)
 Investments in corporate and government debt which are not listed or admitted to trading on any securities exchange are valued at the mean of the last bid and ask prices on the valuation date based on quotations supplied by recognized quotation services or by reputable broker-dealers.
 The market-yield approach is considered in the valuation of non-publicly traded debt securities, utilizing expected future cash flows and discounted using estimated current market rates. Discounted cash-flow calculations may be adjusted to reflect current market conditions and/or the perceived credit risk of the borrower. Consideration is also given to a borrower's ability to meet principal and interest obligations; this may include an evaluation of collateral and/or the underlying value of the borrower utilizing techniques described below under "—Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments."
 Non-publicly Traded Equity and Real Estate Investments
 The fair value of equity and real estate investments is determined using a cost, market or income approach. The cost approach is based on the current cost of reproducing a real estate investment less deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence. The market approach utilizes valuations of comparable public companies and transactions, and generally seeks to establish the enterprise value of the portfolio company or investment property using a market-multiple methodology. This approach takes into account the financial measure (such as EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow, net operating income, net income, book value or net asset value) believed to be most relevant for the given company or investment property. Consideration also may be given to factors such as acquisition price of the security or investment property, historical and projected operational and financial results for the portfolio company, the strengths and weaknesses of the portfolio company or investment property relative to its comparable companies or properties, industry trends, general economic and market conditions, and others deemed relevant. The income approach is typically a discounted cash-flow method that incorporates expected timing and level of cash flows. It incorporates assumptions in determining growth rates, income and expense projections, discount and capitalization rates, capital structure, terminal values, and other factors. The applicability and weight assigned to market and income approaches are determined based on the availability of reliable projections and comparable companies and transactions.
 The valuation of securities may be impacted by expectations of investors' receptiveness to a public offering of the securities, the size of the holding of the securities and any associated control, information with respect to transactions or offers for the securities (including the transaction pursuant to which the investment was made and the elapsed time from the date of the investment to the valuation date), and applicable restrictions on the transferability of the securities.
 These valuation methodologies involve a significant degree of management judgment. Accordingly, valuations by the Company do not necessarily represent the amounts that eventually may be realized from sales or other dispositions of investments. Fair values may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investment existed, and the differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.
 Securities Sold Short
 Securities sold short represent obligations of the consolidated funds to make a future delivery of a specific security and, correspondingly, create an obligation to purchase the security at prevailing market prices (or deliver the security, if owned by the consolidated funds) as of the delivery date. As a result, these short sales create the risk that the funds' obligations to satisfy the delivery requirement may exceed the amount recorded in the accompanying combined and consolidated statements of financial condition.
 Securities sold short are recorded at fair value, with the resulting change in value reflected as a component of net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments in the consolidated statements of operations. When the securities are delivered, any gain or loss is included in net realized gain on consolidated funds' investments. The funds maintain cash deposits with prime brokers in order to cover their obligations on short sales. These amounts are included in due from brokers in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition.
 Options
 The purchase price of a call option or a put option is recorded as an investment, which is carried at fair value. If a purchased option expires, a loss in the amount of the cost of the option is realized. When there is a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized if the proceeds are greater or less than, respectively, the cost of the option. When a call option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased upon exercise is increased by the premium originally paid.
 When a consolidated fund writes an option, the premium received is recorded as a liability and is subsequently adjusted to the current fair value of the option written. If a written option expires, a gain is realized in the amount of the premium received. The difference

 between the premium and the amount paid on effecting a closing purchase transaction, including brokerage commissions, is also treated as a realized gain or loss. The writer of an option bears the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. Options written are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition.
 Total-return Swaps
 A total-return swap is an agreement to exchange cash flows based on an underlying asset. Pursuant to these agreements, a fund may deposit collateral with the counterparty and may pay a swap fee equal to a fixed percentage of the value of the underlying security (notional amount). A fund earns interest on cash collateral held on account with the counterparty and may be required to deposit additional collateral equal to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the underlying asset. Changes in the value of the swaps, which are recorded as unrealized gains or losses, are based on changes in the underlying value of the security. All amounts exchanged with the swap counterparty representing capital appreciation or depreciation, dividend income and expense, items of interest income on short proceeds, borrowing costs on short sales, and commissions are recorded as realized gains or losses. Dividend income and expense on the underlying assets are accrued as unrealized gains or losses on the ex-date.
 Due From Brokers
 Due from brokers represents cash owned by the consolidated funds and cash collateral on deposit with brokers and counterparties that are used as collateral for the consolidated funds' securities and swaps.
 Risks and Uncertainties
 Certain consolidated funds invest primarily in the securities of entities that are undergoing, or are considered likely to undergo, reorganization, debt restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transactions. Investments in such entities are considered speculative and involve substantial risk of principal loss. Certain of the consolidated funds' investments may also consist of securities that are thinly traded, securities and other assets for which no market exists, and securities which are restricted as to their transferability. Additionally, investments are subject to concentration and industry risks, reflecting numerous factors, including political, regulatory or economic issues that could cause the investments and their markets to be relatively illiquid and their prices relatively volatile. Investments denominated in non-U.S. currencies or involving non-U.S. domiciled entities are subject to risks and special considerations not typically associated with U.S. investments. Such risks may include, but are not limited to, investment and repatriation restrictions; currency exchange-rate fluctuations; adverse political, social and economic developments; less liquidity; smaller capital markets; and certain local tax law considerations.
 Credit risk is the potential loss that may be incurred from the failure of a counterparty or an issuer to make payments according to the terms of a contract. Some consolidated funds are subject to additional credit risk due to strategies of investing in debt of financially distressed issuers or derivatives, as well as involvement in privately-negotiated structured notes and structured-credit transactions. Counterparties include custodian banks, major brokerage houses and their affiliates. The Company monitors the creditworthiness of the financial institutions with which it conducts business.
 Bank debt has exposure to certain types of risk, including interest rate, market, and the potential non-payment of principal and interest as a result of default or bankruptcy of the issuer. Loans are generally subject to prepayment risk, which will affect the maturity of such loans. The consolidated funds may enter into bank debt participation agreements through contractual relationships with a third-party intermediary, causing the consolidated funds to assume the credit risk of both the borrower and the intermediary.
 Certain consolidated funds may invest in real property and real estate-related investments, including commercial mortgage-backed securities ("CMBS") and real estate loans, that entail substantial inherent risks. There can be no assurance that such investments will increase in value or that significant losses will not be incurred. CMBS are subject to a number of risks, including credit, interest rate, prepayment and market. These risks can be affected by a number of factors, including general economic conditions, particularly those in the area where the related mortgaged properties are located, the level of the borrowers' equity in the mortgaged properties, and the relative timing and rate of delinquencies and prepayments of mortgage loans bearing a higher rate of interest. Real estate loans include residential or commercial loans that are non-performing at the time of their acquisition or that become non-performing following their acquisition. Non-performing real estate loans may require a substantial amount of workout negotiations or restructuring, which may entail, among other things, a substantial reduction in the interest rate and/or write-down of the principal balance. Moreover, foreclosure on collateral securing one or more real estate loans held by the consolidated funds may be necessary, which may be lengthy and expensive. Residential loans are typically subject to risks associated with the value of the underlying properties, which may be affected by a number of factors including general economic conditions, mortgage qualification standards, local market conditions such as employment levels, the supply of homes, and the safety, convenience and attractiveness of the properties and neighborhoods. Commercial loans are typically subject to risks associated with the ability of the borrower to repay, which may be impacted by general economic conditions, as well as borrower-specific factors including the quality of management, the ability to generate sufficient income to make scheduled principal and interest payments, or the ability to obtain alternative financing to repay the loan.

 Certain consolidated funds hold over-the-counter derivatives that may allow counterparties to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity under certain circumstances, thereby resulting in an accelerated payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.
 Recent Accounting Developments
 In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens of the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. The guidance is effective upon issuance and generally may be elected over time through December 31, 2024. The Company did not adopt any of the optional expedients or exceptions.
 In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances existing annual income tax disclosures, primarily disaggregation of: (i) effective tax rate reconciliation using both percentages and amounts into specific categories, with further disaggregation by nature and/or jurisdiction of certain categories that meet the threshold of 5% of expected tax; and (ii) income taxes paid (net of refunds received) between federal, state/local and foreign, with further disaggregation by jurisdiction if 5% or more of total income taxes paid (net of refunds received). The ASU also eliminates existing disclosures related to: (a) reasonably possible significant changes in total amount of unrecognized tax benefits within 12 months of reporting date; and (b) cumulative amount of each type of temporary difference for which deferred tax liability has not been recognized (due to exception to recognizing deferred taxes related to subsidiaries and corporate joint ventures). This ASU is effective January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted in the interim or annual periods. Transition is prospective with the option to apply retrospective application. The Company will adopt the ASU on a prospective basis and does not expect this new guidance to have a material impact on its annual income tax disclosures.

 3. REVENUES
 The Company provides investment management services to funds and separate accounts. The Company earns revenues from the management fees, incentive fees, and carried interest allocations generated by the funds that it manages. Revenues are affected by economic factors related to the asset class composition of the holdings and the contractual terms such as the basis for calculating the management fees and investors' ability to redeem. Revenues by fund structure are set forth below.

 Contract Balances
 The Company received management fees monthly or quarterly in accordance with its contracts with customers. Incentive fees are received generally after all contributed capital and the preferred return on that capital have been distributed to the fund's investors. Contract assets relate to the Company's conditional right to receive payment for its performance completed under the contract. Receivables are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional (i.e., only requires the passage of time). Contract liabilities (i.e., deferred revenues) relate to payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenues when the Company provides investment management services. In cases where the limited partners are deemed to be the customers, placement fees are capitalized as a cost to obtain a contract and amortized over the life of the contract.
 Capitalized placement fees associated with the acquisition of customer contracts of $51.0 million and $49.9 million, as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, are included in other assets. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, amortization of capitalized placement fees were $11.1 million, $7.3 million, and $4.0 million, respectively.

 The table below sets forth contract balances for the periods indicated:

 4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
 The Company consolidates VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. VIEs include funds managed by Oaktree and CLOs for which Oaktree acts as collateral manager. The purpose of these VIEs is to provide investment opportunities for investors in exchange for management fees and, in certain cases, performance-based fees. While the investment strategies of the funds and CLOs differ by product, in general the fundamental risks of the funds and CLOs have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and reduction or absence of management and performance-based fees. As general partner or collateral manager, respectively, Oaktree generally considers itself the sponsor of the applicable fund or CLO. The Company does not provide performance guarantees and, other than capital commitments, has no financial obligation to provide funding to VIEs.
 Consolidated VIEs
 As of December 31, 2024, the Company consolidated 25 VIEs for which it was the primary beneficiary, including 7 funds managed by Oaktree and 18 CLOs for which Oaktree served as collateral manager. As of December 31, 2023, the Company consolidated 31 VIEs, including 9 funds managed by Oaktree and 22 CLOs for which Oaktree served as collateral manager.
 As of December 31, 2024, the assets and liabilities of the 25 consolidated VIEs representing funds and CLOs amounted to $9.0 billion and $7.9 billion, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the assets and liabilities of the 31 consolidated VIEs representing funds and CLOs amounted to $12.0 billion and $10.6 billion, respectively. The assets of these consolidated VIEs primarily consisted of investments in debt and equity securities, while their liabilities primarily represented debt obligations issued by CLOs. The assets of these VIEs may be used only to settle obligations of the same VIE. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the VIEs' liabilities. In exchange for managing either the funds or CLOs collateral, the Company typically earns management fees and may earn performance fees, all of which are eliminated in consolidation. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company's investments in consolidated VIEs had a carrying value of $970.0 million, and $902.7 million, respectively, which represented its maximum risk of loss as of that date. The Company's investments in CLOs are generally subordinated to other interests in the CLOs and entitle the Company to receive a pro-rata portion of the residual cash flows, if any, from the CLOs. Please see note 10 for more information on CLO debt obligations.
 Unconsolidated VIEs
 The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs in the form of direct equity interests that are not consolidated because it is not the primary beneficiary, inasmuch as its fee arrangements are considered at-market and it does not hold interests in those entities that are considered more than insignificant.
 The carrying value of the Company's investments in VIEs that were not consolidated are shown below.

 Equity-method Investments
 The Company's equity-method investments include its investments in Oaktree funds for which it serves as general partner, and other third-party funds and companies that are not consolidated, but for which the Company is deemed to exert significant influence. The Company's share of income or loss generated by these investments is recorded within investment income in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company's equity-method investments in Oaktree funds principally reflect the Company's general partner interests in those funds, which typically does not exceed 2.5% in each fund. The Oaktree funds are investment companies that follow a specialized basis of accounting established by GAAP.
 Other Investments, at Fair Value
 Other investments, at fair value primarily consist of: (a) investments in certain Oaktree and non-Oaktree funds, (b) non-investment grade debt securities, and (c) derivatives utilized to hedge the Company's exposure to investment income earned from its funds.

 Net Gains (Losses) From Investment Activities of Consolidated Funds
 Net gains (losses) from investment activities in the consolidated statements of operations consist primarily of realized and unrealized gains and losses on the consolidated funds' investments (including foreign exchange gains and losses attributable to foreign-denominated investments and related activities) and other financial instruments. Unrealized gains or losses result from changes in the fair value of these investments and other financial instruments. Upon disposition of an investment, unrealized gains or losses are reversed and an offsetting realized gain or loss is recognized in the current period.

 6. FAIR VALUE
 Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
 The short-term nature of cash and cash-equivalents, receivables and accounts payable causes each of their carrying values to approximate fair value. The fair value of short-term investments included in cash and cash-equivalents is a Level I valuation. The Company's other financial assets and financial liabilities by fair-value hierarchy level are set forth below. Please see notes 10 and 15 for the fair value of the Company's outstanding debt obligations and amounts due from/to affiliates, respectively.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments Held By Consolidated Funds
 The short-term nature of cash and cash-equivalents held at the consolidated funds causes their carrying value to approximate fair value. The fair value of cash-equivalents is a Level I valuation. Derivatives may relate to a mix of Level I, II or III investments, and therefore their fair-value hierarchy level may not correspond to the fair-value hierarchy level of the economically hedged investment.

 Total realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded for Level III investments are included in net realized gain on consolidated funds' investments or net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on consolidated funds' investments in the consolidated statements of operations.
 Transfers out of Level III are generally attributable to certain investments that experienced a more significant level of market trading activity or completed an initial public offering during the respective period and thus were valued using observable inputs. Transfers into Level III typically reflect either investments that experienced a less significant level of market trading activity during the period or portfolio companies that undertook restructurings or bankruptcy proceedings and thus were valued in the absence of observable inputs.

 (1) The discount rate is the significant unobservable input used in the fair-value measurement of performing credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds do not have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, as well as certain equity investments and real estate loan portfolios. An increase (decrease) in the discount rate would result in a lower (higher) fair-value measurement.
 (2) Multiple of either earnings or underlying assets is the significant unobservable input used in the market approach for the fair-value measurement of distressed credit-oriented investments, credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, equity investments and certain real estate-oriented investments. An increase (decrease) in the multiple would result in a higher (lower) fair-value measurement.
 (3) The weighted average is based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
 (4) Certain investments are valued based on recent transactions, generally defined as investments purchased or sold within six months of the valuation date. The fair value may also be based on a pending transaction expected to close after the valuation date.

 (5) Certain investments are valued using vendor prices or broker quotes for the subject or similar securities. Generally, investments valued in this manner are classified as Level III because the quoted prices may be indicative in nature for securities that are in an inactive market, may be for similar securities, or may require adjustment for investment-specific factors or restrictions.
 (6) A discounted cash-flow method is generally used to value performing credit-oriented investments in which the consolidated funds do not have a controlling interest in the underlying issuer, as well as certain equity investments, real estate-oriented investments and real estate loan portfolios.
 (7) A market approach is generally used to value distressed investments and investments in which the consolidated funds have a controlling interest in the underlying.
 (8) Revenue multiples are based on comparable public companies and transactions with comparable companies. The Company typically applies the multiple to trailing twelve-months' revenue. However, in certain cases other revenue measures, such as pro forma revenue, may be utilized if deemed to be more relevant.
 (9) A market approach using the value of underlying assets utilizes a multiple, based on comparable companies, of underlying assets or the net book value of the portfolio company. The Company typically obtains the value of underlying assets from the underlying portfolio company's financial statements or from pricing vendors. The Company may value the underlying assets by using prices and other relevant information from market transactions involving comparable assets.
 (10) Earnings multiples are based on comparable public companies and transactions with comparable companies. The Company typically utilizes multiples of EBITDA; however, in certain cases the Company may use other earnings multiples believed to be most relevant to the investment. The Company typically applies the multiple to trailing twelve-months' EBITDA. However, in certain cases other earnings measures, such as pro forma EBITDA, may be utilized if deemed to be more relevant.
 A significant amount of judgment may be required when using unobservable inputs, including assessing the accuracy of source data and the results of pricing models. The Company assesses the accuracy and reliability of the sources it uses to develop unobservable inputs. These sources may include third-party vendors that the Company believes are reliable and commonly utilized by other marketplace participants. As described in note 2, other factors beyond the unobservable inputs described above may have a significant impact on investment valuations.
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no changes in the valuation techniques for Level III securities. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the valuation techniques for three credit-oriented investment were changed from discounted cash flow to market approach (comparable companies), one credit-oriented investment was changed from discounted cash flow to recent transaction price, one credit-oriented investment was changed from recent market information to discounted cash flow, one credit-oriented investment was changed from recent transaction price to discounted cash flow and one equity investment was changed from recent transaction price to market approach (comparable companies).

 There were no derivatives outstanding that were designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Derivatives Held By Consolidated Funds
 Certain consolidated funds utilize derivatives in their ongoing investment operations. These derivatives primarily consist of foreign-currency forward contracts and options utilized to manage currency risk, interest-rate swaps to hedge interest-rate risk, options and

 futures used to hedge certain exposures for specific securities, and total-return swaps utilized mainly to obtain exposure to leveraged loans or to participate in foreign markets not readily accessible. The primary risk exposure for options and futures is price, while the primary risk exposure for total-return swaps is credit. None of the derivative instruments are accounted for as a hedging instrument utilizing hedge accounting.

 Balance Sheet Offsetting
 The Company recognizes all derivatives as assets or liabilities at fair value in its combined and consolidated statements of financial condition. In connection with its derivative activities, the Company generally enters into agreements subject to enforceable master netting arrangements that allow the Company to offset derivative assets and liabilities in the same currency by specific derivative type or, in the event of default by the counterparty, to offset derivative assets and liabilities with the same counterparty. While these derivatives are eligible to be offset in accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company has elected to present derivative assets and liabilities based on gross fair value in its combined and consolidated statements of financial condition. The table below sets forth the setoff rights and related arrangements associated with derivatives held by the Company. The "gross amounts not offset in statements of financial condition" columns represent derivatives that management has elected not to offset in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition even though they are eligible to be offset in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

 9. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES
 Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortized, but instead is tested for impairment annually in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate that impairment may have occurred. Goodwill is included in other assets in the consolidated statements of financial position. As of December 31, 2024, the Company determined there was no goodwill impairment.
 The carrying value of goodwill was $50.8 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and is included in other assets in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition.

 On May 19, 2020, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a subsidiary of BN that provides for a subordinated credit facility maturing on May 19, 2023. The subordinated credit facility has a revolving loan commitment of $250 million and borrowings generally bear interest at a spread to either LIBOR or an alternative base rate. Borrowings on the subordinated credit facility are subordinate to the outstanding debt obligations and borrowings on the primary credit facility of Oaktree. On October 6, 2023, an amendment was signed to further extend the maturity date to October 6, 2028 and updated the interest rate to the secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus 1.6% or an alternative base rate plus 0.5%. The amendment also provided that the maturity date will automatically extend annually in one-year increments until the lenders notify the borrowers of their intention to terminate the subordinated credit facility. No amounts were outstanding on the subordinated credit facility as of December 31, 2024.
 On October 4, 2024, OCM, Oaktree Capital I, Oaktree Capital II and Oaktree AIF (collectively, the "Borrowers") entered into the Eighth Amendment to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2014, by and among the Borrowers, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo") and the other lenders party thereto. The credit facility was amended to among other things, extend the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from December 15, 2027 to October 4, 2029 with the potential to extend the maturity for up to two additional years, and changed certain lenders who are party to the Credit Agreement. Based on the current credit ratings of OCM, the interest rate on borrowings is the term SOFR reference rate plus 1.10% per annum and the commitment fee on the unused portions of the revolving credit facility is 0.10% per annum. The term SOFR reference rate is determined by the tenor of the borrowings and set by the CME Group Benchmark Administration Limited (CBA). The credit agreement contains customary financial covenants and restrictions, including ones regarding a maximum leverage ratio and a minimum required level of fee-generating assets under management (as defined in the credit agreement, as amended above). As of December 31, 2024, the Borrowers had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
 On October 14, 2021, OCM received commitments from certain accredited investors to purchase $200 million of senior unsecured notes that bear a 3.06% fixed rate of interest and a maturity of 2037. The notes are guaranteed by Oaktree Capital I, Oaktree Capital II and Oaktree AIF, as co-obligors. On November 4, 2021, OCM and the co-obligors entered into a note and guaranty agreement. The offering closed on January 12, 2022 and OCM received proceeds of $200 million on the closing date.
 As of December 31, 2024, future scheduled principal payments of debt obligations were as follows:

 The Borrowers were in compliance with all financial maintenance covenants associated with its senior unsecured notes and bank credit facility as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

 The fair value of the Company's debt obligations, which are carried at amortized cost, is a Level III valuation that is estimated based on a discounted cash-flow calculation using estimated rates that would be offered to Oaktree for debt of similar terms and maturities. The fair value of these debt obligations, gross of debt issuance costs, was $916.7 million and $965.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, utilizing average borrowing rates of 5.0%, respectively.
 Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group Guaranty Agreements
 On March 30, 2022, Oaktree Capital I entered into a note and guaranty agreement with certain accredited investors pursuant to which Oaktree Capital I agreed to issue and sell to such investors 50 million of its 2.20% Senior Notes, Series A, due 2032, 75 million of its 2.40% Senior Notes, Series B, due 2034, and 75 million of its 2.58% Senior Notes, Series C, due 2037. These notes are senior unsecured obligations of Oaktree Capital I, and jointly and severally guaranteed by the Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group. The offering closed on June 8, 2022, and Oaktree Capital I received proceeds of 200 million on the closing date.
 These notes are senior unsecured obligations of Oaktree Capital I and jointly and severally guaranteed by OCM, Oaktree Capital II and Oaktree AIF, entities under the Oaktree Asset Management Operating Group, as co-obligors. The outstanding principal and interest payments guaranteed by the Company will not be included in the Company's financial statements unless an event of default occurs.

 13. EQUITY-BASED AND OTHER DEFERRED COMPENSATION
 Long-Term Incentive Plan Awards
 In March 2020, the Company adopted the Oaktree Operating Group Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "LTIP"). The LTIP provides for the granting of cash-based incentive awards to senior executives, directors, officers, partners, employees, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates. Awards may be denominated in U.S. dollars or other currencies determined by the LTIP's plan administrator. The unvested value of each LTIP award adjusts over its vesting period to track the performance of a fund designated by the plan administrator or by the award recipient from investment options selected by the plan administrator. Investment options may include funds managed by Company affiliates or by third parties. Awards do not represent an actual interest in the funds whose performance they track. Such fund investments are purely nominal and solely for the purpose of calculating the value of an award on each vesting or payment date. Awards under the LTIP represent only a contractual right to receive a cash payment upon vesting from the Company or the affiliate that issued the award. Awards tracking the performance of funds that make periodic distributions to their investors may provide for award recipients to receive corresponding payments from the Company or the affiliate issuing the award, with the remaining unvested value of the award reduced to reflect the amount of each such payment. Each payment under an award is fully vested upon receipt. Awards denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars which track the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated funds are nominally converted into U.S. dollars for performance tracking purposes, with amounts payable under the

 awards converted back into the original currency at a market rate at the time of each vesting payment. Certain recipients of awards denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars which track the performance of U.S. dollar-denominated funds receive the option to hedge the value of their awards to a currency other than U.S. dollars. All such currency hedges are calculated on a purely hypothetical basis and do not represent a right to participate in actual currency hedging contracts.
 For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company granted LTIP awards valued at $111.8 million and $107.5 million, respectively, to employees, partners and directors of the Company and its subsidiaries, subject to annual vesting over a weighted average period of approximately 3.9 years and 4.2 years, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, $2.3 million, $8.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively, of the LTIP awards were forfeited. As of December 31, 2024, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested LTIP awards of $176.7 million, subject to adjustment based on future performance, over a weighted average period of 3.1 years. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $122.7 million, $106.8 million and $72.9 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the LTIP, which was included in compensation and benefits expense in the consolidated and combined statements of operations.
 Equity-Based Compensation
 In December 2011, BOH adopted the 2011 Oaktree Capital Group, LLC Equity Incentive Plan (the "2011 Plan"). The 2011 Plan provides for the granting of options, unit appreciation rights, restricted unit awards, unit bonus awards, phantom equity awards or other unit-based awards to senior executives, directors, officers, certain employees, consultants, and advisors of the Company and its affiliates. As of December 31, 2024, a maximum of 24,284,317 units have been authorized to be awarded pursuant to the 2011 Plan, and 21,563,682 units have been awarded under the 2011 Plan. Each Class A and OCGH unit, when issued, represents an indirect interest in one Oaktree Operating Group unit.
 Restated Exchange Agreement
 At the closing of the Mergers, Oaktree entered into a Fourth Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement that will, among other things, allow limited partners of OCGH to exchange ("Exchanges") certain vested limited partnership units of OCGH ("OCGH Units") for cash, Brookfield Class A Shares, notes issued by a Brookfield subsidiary or equity interests in a subsidiary of OCGH that will entitle such limited partners to the proceeds from a note, or a combination of the foregoing. Either of such notes will have a three-year maturity and will accrue interest at the then-current 5-year treasury note rate plus 3%. Only Converted OCGH Units, OCGH Units issued and outstanding at the time of the closing of the Mergers, OCGH Units issued after the closing of the Mergers pursuant to agreements in effect on March 13, 2019, OCGH Units issuable upon vesting of certain phantom equity awards ("Phantom Units") and other OCGH Units consented-to by Brookfield will be, when vested, eligible to participate in an Exchange. The form of the consideration in an Exchange is generally at the discretion of Brookfield, subject to certain limitations. On May 14, 2024, Oaktree entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement to, among other things, add Brookfield Asset Management Ltd. ("BAM") to the Restated Exchange Agreement, and allow Brookfield to elect and deliver the BAM Class A Shares as consideration for a portion of the Exchange.
 In general, OCGH limited partners are entitled to provide an election notice to participate in an Exchange with respect to eligible vested OCGH Units and Converted OCGH Units during the first 60 calendar days of each year beginning January 1, 2022 (an "Open Period"). Each Exchange is thereafter consummated within the first 155 days of such calendar year, subject to extension in certain circumstances.
 Except as described below, each OCGH Unit is valued (i) by applying a 13.5x multiple to the trailing three-year average (or two-year average for Exchanges in 2022) of fee-related earnings less stock-based compensation at grant value and excluding depreciation and amortization and a 6.75x multiple to the trailing three-year average of net incentives created, and (ii) adding 100% of the value of net cash (defined as cash less the face value of debt and preferred stock, other than certain preferred stock issued in connection with certain Exchanges), 100% of the value of corporate investments and 75% of fund-level net accrued incentives as of December 31 of the prior year, in each case subject to certain adjustments. Amounts received in respect of each OCGH Unit is reduced by the amount of any non-tax related distributions received in the calendar year in which the Exchange occurs, but increased by an amount accruing daily from January 1 of such year to the date of the closing of the Exchange at a rate per annum equal to the 5-year treasury note rate as of December 31 of the prior year plus 3%. Converted OCGH Units and Phantom Units is valued using the same methodology applied to all other OCGH Units.
 OCGH Unit Awards
 The Company granted 80,689 and 136,776 OCGH units during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
 As of December 31, 2024, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested OCGH unit awards of $42.5 million over a weighted average period of 3.5 years. With respect to forfeitures, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures when they occur. Accordingly, no forfeitures have been assumed in the calculation of compensation expense.

 Deferred Equity Units
 A deferred equity unit represents a special unit award that, when vested, will be settled with an unvested OCGH unit on a one-for-one basis. The number of deferred equity units that will vest is based on the achievement of certain performance targets through October 2032. Once a performance target has been met, the applicable number of OCGH units will be issued as unvested units and begin to vest over periods of up to 5.0 years. The holder of a deferred equity unit is not entitled to any distributions until settled by the issuance of an OCGH unit. As of December 31, 2024, there were 617,720 deferred equity units outstanding, 140,028 of which were expected to be issued. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 212,399 and 131,709 units were issued and the Company recognized $3.1 million and $3.4 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the deferred equity units, which were included in equity-based compensation expense in the consolidated and combined statements of operations.
 Oaktree Equity Plan
 In April 2022, OCM established OEP, through which certain employees of OCM's indirect subsidiaries participate in certain equity interests in the Oaktree Operating Group.
 During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not grant any OEP awards. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 367,901 and 0 units were vested and the Company recognized $5.0 million and $5.2 million, respectively, of compensation expense related to the OEP awards, which were included in equity-based compensation expense in the combined and consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, 103,843 and 59,338 units of the OEP awards were forfeited. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were 3,311,106 and 3,782,850 unvested OEP units outstanding. As of December 31, 2024, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested OEP unit awards of $30.2 million over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.
 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of the OEP units. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected volatility and the expected term of the OEP units which are highly complex and subjective variables. The variables take into consideration, among other things, projected OEP unit exercise behavior. The Company uses a predicted volatility of its stock price during the expected life of the units that is based on the historical performance of the Company's stock price as well as including an estimate using guideline companies. The expected term is computed using the simplified method as the Company's best estimate given its lack of actual exercise history. The Company has selected a risk-free rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the expected term of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. The OEP units granted in April 2022 were valued at $9.13 per unit, net of the upfront cash consideration from the employee.
 Oaktree Equity Units
 In December 2024, OCM established OEU, through which certain employees of OCM's indirect subsidiaries participate in certain interests in the Oaktree Operating Group.
 During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company granted 1,700,000 OEU units. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, no units were vested and the Company recognized $4.2 million, of compensation expense related to the OEU awards, which were included in equity-based compensation expense in the combined and consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2024, there are 1,700,000 unvested OEU units. As of December 31, 2024, the Company expected to recognize compensation expense on its unvested OEU unit awards of $48.5 million over a weighted average period of 3.8 years.
 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of the OEU units. This model requires the Company to estimate the expected volatility and the expected term of the OEU units which are highly complex and subjective variables. The variables take into consideration, among other things, projected OEU unit exercise behavior. The Company uses a predicted volatility of its stock price during the expected life of the units that is based on the historical performance of the Company's stock price as well as including an estimate using guideline companies. The expected term is computed using the simplified method as the Company's best estimate given its lack of actual exercise history. The Company has selected a risk-free rate based on the implied yield available on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity equivalent to the expected term of the award. Forfeitures are recognized as incurred. The OEU units granted in December 2024 were valued at $31.29 per unit for those subject to 5-year standard vesting and $29.01 per unit for those subject to 2.5-year vesting.

 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 In the normal course of business, Oaktree enters into contracts that contain certain representations, warranties and indemnifications. The Company's exposure under these arrangements would involve future claims that have not yet been asserted. Inasmuch as no such claims currently exist or are expected to arise, the Company has not accrued any liability in connection with these indemnifications.

 Legal Actions
 Oaktree, its affiliates, investment professionals, and portfolio companies are routinely involved in litigation and other legal actions in the ordinary course of their business and investing activities. In addition, Oaktree is subject to the authority of a number of U.S. and non-U.S. regulators, including the SEC and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, and those authorities periodically conduct examinations of Oaktree and make other inquiries that may result in the commencement of regulatory proceedings against Oaktree and its personnel. Oaktree is currently not subject to any pending actions or regulatory proceedings that either individually or in the aggregate are expected to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 Commitments to Funds
 As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company, generally in its capacity as general partner, had undrawn capital commitments of $161.3 million and $254.9 million, respectively, including commitments to both unconsolidated and consolidated funds.
 Investment Commitments of the Consolidated Funds
 Certain of the consolidated funds are parties to credit arrangements that provide for the issuance of letters of credit and/or revolving loans, which may require the particular fund to extend loans to investee companies. The consolidated funds use the same investment criteria in making these commitments as they do for investments that are included in the combined and consolidated statements of financial condition. The unfunded liability associated with these credit arrangements is equal to the amount by which the contractual loan commitment exceeds the sum of funded debt and cash held in escrow, if any. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the consolidated funds had no aggregate potential credit and investment commitments.
 A consolidated fund may agree to guarantee the repayment obligations of certain investee companies. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no guaranteed amounts under such arrangements.
 Certain consolidated funds are investment companies that are required to disclose financial support provided or contractually required to be provided to any of their portfolio companies. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the consolidated funds did not provide any financial support to portfolio companies.
 Operating Leases
 Oaktree leases its main headquarters office in Los Angeles and offices in 22 other cities in the U.S., Europe, Asia and Australia, pursuant to current lease terms expiring through 2031. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the estimated aggregate minimum commitments with lease terms expiring through 2031 under leases for which the Company serves as lessee were $93.1 million and $98.6 million, respectively.

 15. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 The Company receives a substantial portion of its management fees, incentive fees and carried interest allocation, and investment income from Oaktree-managed investment limited partnerships for which it serves as general partner.
 Loans To Affiliates and Employees
 Loans primarily consist of interest-bearing loans made to OCGH and OEP unitholders, primarily employees, to purchase or pay tax obligations related to equity awards. The balances of loans to OCGH and OEP unitholders were $10.7 million and $6.9 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively and are included in due from affiliates. The carrying value of loan balances approximated fair value due to their short-term nature or because their weighted average interest rate approximated the Company's cost of debt. The loans, which are generally recourse to the borrower or secured by vested equity and other collateral, typically bear interest at the Company's cost of debt and generated interest income of $0.5 million, $0.3 million, and $0.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
 On May 7, 2021 the Company, through its consolidated subsidiary OCM entered into two revolving line of credit notes with Oaktree Capital I, one as a borrower and the other as a lender. Both revolving line of credit notes allow for outstanding principal amounts not to exceed $250.0 million and mature on May 7, 2024. On February 17, 2023, the revolving line of credit notes were replaced with an intercompany loan agreement with a maturity of February 17, 2026.
 As of December 31, 2024, OCM had borrowed $222.0 million from Oaktree Capital I and interest expense of $2.7 million was incurred for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there was no loans to affiliates and interest income of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
 As of December 31, 2023, OCM had borrowed $26.0 million from Oaktree Capital I and incurred interest expense of $810 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, OCM had lent $48.0 million to Oaktree Capital I and generated interest income of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 Due To/From Oaktree Funds and Affiliates
 In the normal course of business, the Company advances certain expenses on behalf of Oaktree funds. Certain expenses paid by the Company, which typically are employee travel and other costs associated with particular portfolio company holdings, are reimbursed to the Company by the portfolio companies. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, amounts due from unconsolidated Oaktree funds and affiliates amounted to $161.5 million and $126.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, amounts due to unconsolidated Oaktree funds and affiliates amounted to $244.3 million and $6.9 million, respectively, which is included in due to affiliates.
 Revenues Earned From Oaktree Funds
 In aggregate, management fees, incentive fees, and carried interest allocation earned from unconsolidated Oaktree funds totaled $1.6 billion, $1.3 billion and $1.3 billion for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
 Other Investment Transactions
 The Company's senior executives, directors and senior professionals are permitted to invest their own capital (or the capital of family trusts or other estate planning vehicles they control) in Oaktree funds, for which they typically pay the particular fund's management fee but not its incentive allocation. To facilitate the funding of capital calls by funds in which employees are invested, the Company periodically advances on a short-term basis the capital calls on certain employees' behalf. These advances are reimbursed generally toward the end of the calendar quarter in which the capital calls occurred. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the employee advances were $3.5 million and $3.0 million respectively and are included in due from affiliates.
 Aircraft Services
 OCM owns an aircraft for business purposes. Howard Marks, the Company's Co-Chairman, may use this aircraft for personal travel and will reimburse OCM to the extent his use of the aircraft for personal travel exceeds a certain threshold pursuant to an Oaktree policy. Oaktree also provides certain senior executives a personal travel allowance for private aircraft usage up to a certain threshold pursuant to the same Oaktree policy. Additionally, Oaktree occasionally makes use of an aircraft owned by one of its senior executives for business purposes at a price to Oaktree that is based on market rates.
 Special Allocations
 Certain senior executives receive special allocations based on a percentage of profits of the Oaktree Operating Group. These special allocations, which are recorded as compensation expense, are made on a current basis for so long as they remain senior executives of the Company, with limited exceptions.
 Administrative Services
 As of October 1, 2019, OCM provides certain administrative and other services relating to the operations of BOH's business pursuant to a Services Agreement between BOH and OCM (as amended from time to time, the "Services Agreement").
 On an annual basis, BOH will reimburse OCM $750,000 of the costs incurred for providing these administrative services. This reimbursement is payable quarterly, in equal installments, and relates to BOH's allocable portion of overhead and other expenses (facilities and personnel) incurred by OCM in performing its obligations under the Services Agreement. This amount includes BOH's allocable portion of (i) the rent of BOH's principal executive offices (which are located in a building owned by an affiliate of Brookfield) at market rates and (ii) the costs of compensation and related expenses of various personnel at Oaktree that perform duties for BOH. The Services Agreement may be terminated by either party without penalty upon 90 days' written notice to the other.
 For each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, OCM earned administrative services income of $0.8 million.
 Leases
 The Company leases certain office space from affiliates of Brookfield. Rent expense associated with these leases was $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Future lease obligations associated with these leases are $31.0 million for the remaining lease commitments through 2030.

 Subordinated Credit Facility
 On May 19, 2020, Oaktree entered into a credit agreement with a subsidiary of BN that provides for a subordinated credit facility maturing on May 19, 2023. The subordinated credit facility has a revolving loan commitment of $250 million and borrowings generally bear interest at a spread to either LIBOR or an alternative base rate. Borrowings on the subordinated credit facility are subordinate to the outstanding debt obligations and borrowings on the primary credit facility as detailed in note 9. Oaktree Operating Group members as co-borrowers are jointly and severally liable for outstanding borrowings on the subordinated credit facility. In March 2022, this credit facility was amended to extend the revolving credit maturity date from May 19, 2023 to September 14, 2026. On October 6, 2023, an amendment was signed to further extend the maturity date to October 6, 2028 and update the interest rate to SOFR plus 1.6% or an alternative base rate plus 0.5%. The amendment also provided that the maturity date will automatically extend annually in one-year increments until the lenders notify the borrowers of their intention to terminate the subordinated credit facility. No amounts were outstanding on the subordinated credit facility as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
 Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions
 In April 2021, the Company and Brookfield Asset Management Company formed a strategic partnership, Brookfield Oaktree Wealth Solutions ("BOWS'), to enhance both firms' ability to raise capital through North American financial intermediaries such as brokerage firms, banks and registered investment advisors. The Company reimburses BOWS for their share of expenses on a quarterly basis. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company recorded $20.0 million and $17.0 million related to these reimbursements, which were included in general and administrative expense in the combined and consolidated statements of operations.

 On May 1, 2023, BN and OCM, Oaktree Capital I, Oaktree Capital II, OCM Cayman, Oaktree AIF and Oaktree Investment Holdings, L.P. (collectively, the "Oaktree Depositors") entered into a deposit agreement under which each of the Oaktree Depositors has the ability to place up to $750 million in the aggregate at any time on deposit with BN. This deposit arrangement is set up to facilitate a more efficient use of cash across Brookfield and provides Oaktree with the option to deposit excess operational cash.
 Oaktree can deposit cash from time to time, subject to the aggregate limits, and can withdraw deposited funds on two business days' notice. Each deposit will earn interest on the outstanding principal amount at an agreed rate. There is no set maturity on any deposit balance.
 As of December 31, 2024, OCM had no amounts on deposit with BN. For the year ended December 31, 2024, OCM generated $0.9 million interest income, on an average deposit balance of $15.6 million, which was included in interest and dividend income.

 ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 We maintain "disclosure controls and procedures," as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.
 Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report.

("BAM") is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act.

 Management assessed the effectiveness of BAM's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this assessment, management concludes that, as of December 31, 2024, BAM's internal control over financial reporting is effective.

Directors are expected to bring any potential conflict of interest to the attention of the Chair or a Committee Chair in advance, and refrain from voting on such matters. Directors are also expected to submit their resignations to the Chair if: (i) they become unable to attend at least 75% of the Board's regularly scheduled meetings or (ii) if they become involved in a legal dispute, regulatory or similar proceedings, take on new responsibilities, or experience other changes in personal or professional circumstances that could adversely affect BAM or their ability to serve as a director. The Charter of Expectations is reviewed annually and a copy is posted on BAM's website,  under "Corporate Governance".
 Meetings of the Board
 The agenda for each Board meeting is set by the Chair, in consultation with the CFO and Corporate Secretary, before circulation to the full Board.
 The Board meets at least quarterly to review and approve earnings, consider dividend payments and review specific items of business, including transactions and strategic initiatives. The Board holds additional meetings as necessary to consider special business. The Board also meets once a year to review BAM's annual business plan and long-term strategy.
 Meetings of the Board are primarily held in New York, NY. In 2024, there were six scheduled Board meetings, consisting of four regular meetings, one special meeting and one annual strategy session held in October 2024. With the exception of one board meeting held in London, UK, all of the meetings were held in New York, NY. In 2025, there are five scheduled Board meetings, consisting of four regular meetings and one annual strategy session.
 Meetings of Independent Directors
 Private sessions of the independent directors without management directors present are held at the end of each regularly scheduled and special Board meeting, as well as at the end of the annual strategy session. Each private session of the Board is chaired by the Lead Independent Director, who reports back to the CEO on any matters requiring action by management. There were six private meetings of independent directors in 2024.
 Private sessions of the Committees without management directors present are also held after each Committee meeting, chaired by the respective Committee Chair, who reports back to an appropriate executive on any matters requiring action by management.
 Independent Directors
 The Board has a policy that the Lead Independent Director and at least a majority of its directors are independent in order to ensure that the Board operates independent of management and effectively oversees the conduct of management. BAM obtains information from its directors annually to determine their independence. The Board decides which directors are considered to be independent based on the recommendation of the GNCC, which evaluates director independence based on the guidelines set forth under applicable securities laws.
 In this process, the Board conducts an analysis of each director nominee to determine if they are an affiliated director (all director nominees who are also current members of management are, by definition, affiliated directors) or an independent director.

 The Chair of the Board is Mr. Flatt, who is not an independent director. However, each of the Committees are fully comprised of independent directors and the Board has a Lead Independent Director, Mr. Coutu. In addition, special committees of independent directors may be formed from time to time to review particular matters or transactions. The Board encourages regular and open dialogue between the independent directors and the Chair to discuss matters raised by independent directors.
 The following table shows our current directors and whether each director is an Independent(a) or Management(b) director.

 (a)"Independent" refers to the Board's determination of whether a director is "independent" under NYSE rules relating to corporate governance matters and section 1.2 of National Instrument 58-101 — Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices.
 (b)"Management" refers to a director who is a current member of management of BAM.
 The Board considers that the seven directors listed as "Independent" above (approximately 58% of the Board) are independent.
 Term Limits and Board Renewal
 The GNCC leads the effort to identify and recruit candidates to join the Board. In this context, the GNCC's view is that the Board should reflect a balance between the experience that comes with longevity of service on the Board and the need for renewal and fresh perspectives.
 The GNCC does not support a mandatory retirement age, director term limits or other mandatory Board turnover mechanisms because its view is that such policies are overly prescriptive; therefore, BAM does not have term limits or other mechanisms that compel Board turnover. The GNCC does believe that periodically adding new voices to the Board can help BAM adapt to a changing business environment and Board renewal continues to be a priority.
 The GNCC reviews the composition of the Board on a regular basis in relation to approved director criteria and skill requirements and recommends changes as appropriate to renew the Board (see the "Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee" section in this report for further information on BAM's process to identify candidates for election to the Board).
 Board Diversity Policy
 BAM is committed to enhancing the diversity of the Board. Our deep roots in many global jurisdictions inform our perspective on diversity and our view that the Board should reflect a diversity of backgrounds relevant to its strategic priorities. This includes (but is not limited to) such factors as diversity based on gender, race and ethnicity, as well as diversity of business expertise and international experience.
 To achieve the Board's diversity goals, it has adopted the following written policy:
 • Board appointments will be based on merit, having due regard for the benefits of diversity on the Board, so that each nominee possesses the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to serve effectively as a director;
 • In the director identification and selection process, diversity on the Board, including the factors referenced above, will influence succession planning and be a key criterion in identifying and nominating new candidates for election to the Board; and
 • The Board has an ongoing gender diversity target of ensuring at least 30% of directors are women.
 The Board reflects a diversity of gender, ethnic and racial backgrounds. Of the 12 directors, two directors self-identify as ethnically diverse and four are women; therefore, 17% of the Board is ethnically diverse, and 57% of the independent directors and approximately 33% of the entire Board are women, as shown in the gender metrics table below for the directors.

 The GNCC is responsible for implementing the Board diversity policy, monitoring progress towards the achievement of its objectives and recommending to the Board any necessary changes that should be made to the policy.
 Director Share Ownership Guidelines
 The Charter of Expectations sets forth share ownership requirements of directors, which are in place because BAM believes that directors can better represent shareholders if they have economic exposure to BAM themselves. BAM requires that each director hold Class A Shares, Restricted Shares and/or Deferred Share Units ("DSUs") having, in the aggregate, a value equal to at least two times the director's annual retainer fee ("Annual Retainer"), as determined by the Board from time to time. New directors have six years from the date of joining the Board to achieve this minimum economic ownership requirement. All directors are required to take one-third of their Annual Retainer in the form of DSUs.
 Director Orientation
 BAM's director orientation program consists of private educational sessions with members of senior management and a comprehensive orientation package. These sessions include information on BAM's various businesses, its culture, its corporate governance practices, its approach to sustainability matters and risk management, as well as information regarding the Board and Committees framework in place to manage BAM's affairs and oversee management. Each new director is informed of the expectations that will be placed on them and the commitment they will be asked to make to BAM.
 Director Education and Site Visits
 BAM provides regular continuing education for directors. Time is set aside at all regularly scheduled Board meetings for presentations on different areas of BAM's businesses, led by executives responsible for or familiar with these operations. On a rotating basis, directors are provided with an in-depth analysis of a business unit of BAM in order to further educate the directors about BAM and its business activities. Directors also receive presentations on new developments and trends in corporate governance and director fiduciary duties as appropriate.
 Director dinners, with select management present, are held before or immediately following all regularly scheduled Board meetings, and director education is provided at these dinners by way of presentations on areas relevant to BAM's business. These dinners increase director knowledge of various business activities and initiatives. Often more junior executives are invited to Board dinners in order to provide directors with exposure to the next generation of executives and better enable the Board to assess BAM's bench strength from a succession standpoint.
 BAM's quarterly Board materials include a general market report which incorporates detailed information on developed and emerging economies. As well, throughout the course of the year, the directors are privy to a number of educational sessions as part of the Board and Committee meetings and outside of such meetings, attend BAM's "Director Education Series". To date, BAM has held educational sessions on topics including human resources function, internal audit and artificial intelligence.
 BAM has undertaken to provide off-site visits for the Board to BAM's business operations and other relevant destinations in key markets outside of New York and London, where regularly scheduled Board meetings are normally held. These off-site visits will be designed to provide an opportunity for directors to gain direct exposure to BAM's operations and a more detailed understanding of its asset management operations. Off-site visits also offer directors an opportunity to meet and assess BAM's regional leadership in these markets.
 Director Commitments
 The GNCC monitors the demands placed on each director's time and attention outside of their service on the Board. This includes, among other things, reviewing the number of other public company boards that a director sits on to ensure that no director has excessive commitments to other public companies that may result in a reduced ability for the director to provide effective oversight as a Board member. In this regard, each director is required to notify the Chair prior to accepting a directorship at another public company.
 The view of the GNCC is that a policy limiting the number of other public company boards that a director can sit on is overly prescriptive and would unnecessarily limit our pool of candidate directors. Instead, the GNCC's philosophy is to consider all outside commitments of a director in context and make a determination whether each director is able to serve effectively on behalf of BAM's shareholders.

 Interlocking Directorships
 The GNCC monitors interlocking board and committee memberships among all directors. Board interlocks exist when two directors of one public company sit on the board of another company and committee interlocks exist when two directors sit together on another board and are also members of the same board committee. There are currently no interlocking board or committee memberships among the directors of BAM.

 Committees of the Board
 The Committees of the Board assist in the effective functioning of the Board and help ensure that the views of independent directors are effectively represented:
 • Audit Committee; and
 • GNCC.
 The responsibilities of these Committees are each set out in written Charters, which are reviewed and approved annually by the Board. The Charter of each Committee, which includes the position description of its respective Committee Chair, can be found on BAM's website,  under "Corporate Governance". It is the Board's policy that the Committees must consist entirely of independent directors. Special committees may be formed from time to time to review particular matters or transactions. While the Board retains overall responsibility for corporate governance matters, each Committee has specific responsibilities for certain aspects of corporate governance in addition to its other responsibilities, as described below.
 Audit Committee
 The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring BAM's systems and procedures for financial reporting and associated internal controls, and the performance of BAM's external and internal auditors. It is responsible for reviewing certain public disclosure documents before their approval by the full Board and release to the public, such as BAM's quarterly and annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis. The Audit Committee is also responsible for recommending the independent registered public accounting firm to be nominated for appointment as the external auditor, and for approving the assignment of any non-audit work to be performed by the external auditor, subject to the Audit Committee's Audit Policy. The Audit Committee meets regularly in private session with BAM's external auditor and internal auditors, without management present, to discuss and review specific issues as appropriate. The Audit Committee met four times in 2024.
 In addition to being independent directors as described above, all members of the Audit Committee must meet an additional "independence" test under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Canadian securities laws, in that their directors' fees must be and are the only compensation they receive, directly or indirectly, from BAM. Further, the Audit Committee requires that all its members disclose any form of association with a present or former internal or external auditor of BAM to the Board for a determination as to whether this association affects the independent status of the director.
 As at March 17, 2025, the Audit Committee was comprised of the following three directors: Mr. Coutu (Chair) and Mses. Braly and Gilbert. The Board has determined that all of these directors are independent for Audit Committee service and financially literate in accordance with the rules of the NYSE, and that Mr. Coutu is qualified as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined under the Exchange Act. Mr. Coutu has a Master of Business Administration and over 26 years of experience in investment banking and corporate finance. He is the former President and CEO of Canadian Oil Sands Limited, and former Chief Financial Officer of Gulf Canada Resources Limited. Ms. Braly is the former CEO, President and Chair of the Board of WellPoint, Inc. and has extensive audit committee experience, including having served on the audit committees of BN and The Procter & Gamble Company. Ms. Gilbert has a Master of Business Administration from Columbia Business School and is a Chartered Financial Analyst ("CFA") and Chartered Alternative Investments Analyst charterholder. Ms. Gilbert has over 20 years of professional experience in the asset management business and is the chair of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero's Advisory Panel of technical experts, as well as a member of its CEO Principals Group and serves as Chairwoman of the Investment Committees of both the David Rockefeller Fund and the Synergos Institute.
 Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
 It is the responsibility of the GNCC, in consultation with the Chair, to assess from time to time the size and composition of the Board and its Committees; to review the effectiveness of the Board's operations and its relations with management; to assess the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual directors; to review BAM's statement of corporate governance practices and to review and recommend the directors' compensation. The GNCC met eight times in 2024, consisting of three regular meetings and five meetings held in connection with the 2025 Arrangement.
 The Board has in place a formal procedure for evaluating the performance of the Board, its Committees and individual directors – the GNCC reviews the performance of the Board, its Committees and the contribution of individual directors on an annual basis (see the

 "Board, Committee and Director Evaluation" section in this Statement of Corporate Governance Practices for further information on the annual director evaluation process).
 The GNCC is also responsible for reviewing the credentials of proposed nominees for election or appointment to the Board and for recommending candidates for Board membership, including the candidates proposed to be nominated for election to the Board at the annual meeting of shareholders. To do this, the GNCC maintains an "evergreen" list of candidates to ensure outstanding candidates with needed skills can be quickly identified to fill planned or unplanned vacancies. Candidates are assessed in relation to the criteria established by the Board to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of talent, quality, skills, diversity, perspectives and other requirements necessary to promote sound governance and Board effectiveness. The GNCC is also responsible for overseeing BAM's approach to sustainability matters, which includes a review of their sustainability initiatives and any material disclosures regarding sustainability matters.
 The GNCC reviews, at least once a year, the composition of the Committees to ensure that Committee membership complies with the relevant governance guidelines, that the workload for independent directors is balanced, and that Committee positions are rotated as appropriate. In doing so, the GNCC consults with the Chair and makes recommendations to the Board, which appoints Committee members.
 The GNCC is also responsible for reviewing and reporting to the Board on management resource matters for BAM, including ensuring a diverse pool for succession planning, the job descriptions and annual objectives of senior executives, the form of executive compensation in general, including an assessment of the risks associated with the compensation plans and the levels of compensation of the CEO and other senior executives. Mr. Flatt's compensation in his capacity as BAM's CEO is set by the GNCC. The GNCC also reviews the performance of senior management against written objectives and reports thereon. In addition, the GNCC is responsible for reviewing any allegations of workplace misconduct claims that are brought to the Committee's attention through BAM's ethics hotline, a referral from BAM's human resources department, or otherwise.
 In reviewing BAM's compensation policies and practices each year, the GNCC will seek to ensure the executive compensation program provides an appropriate balance of risk and reward consistent with the company's risk profile. The GNCC will also seek to ensure BAM and our asset management business' compensation practices do not encourage excessive risk-taking behavior by the senior management team. The participation in long-term incentive plans is intended to discourage executives from taking excessive risks in order to achieve short-term unsustainable performance.
 All members of the GNCC meet the standard director independence test in that they have no relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment. The Board has adopted a heightened test of independence for all members of the GNCC, which entails that the Board has determined that no GNCC member has a relationship with senior management that would impair the member's ability to make independent judgments about BAM's executive compensation. This additional independence test complies with the test in the listing standards of the NYSE. Additionally, the GNCC evaluates the independence of any advisor it retains in order to comply with the aforementioned NYSE listing standards.
 In addition, on an annual basis, the GNCC reviews and recommends for approval to the Board, a number of BAM's conduct guidelines and corporate policies, including the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the "Code of Conduct") and guidelines which apply to BAM's directors, officers and employees as well BAM's investment and capital markets activities, including the thresholds and other criteria governing when such activities can be approved by management and when Board approval is required. The full text of our Code of Conduct is published on BAM's website,  under "Corporate Governance". If we make any amendments to the Code of Conduct, or grant any waiver from a provision of either code to any executive officer or director, we will promptly disclose the nature of the amendment or waiver on our website or in a report on Form 8-K.
 As at March 17, 2025, the GNCC was comprised of the following four directors: Mses. Garfield (Chair), Gilbert and Noble and Mr. Cutler, all of whom are independent directors and were members of the GNCC throughout 2024, except for Mr. Cutler, who was appointed to the GNCC effective March 17, 2025.
 Reporting
 Each Committee Chair provides a report to the Board following a meeting of their Committee. A Committee's report to the Board provides a review of the matters that came before the Committee during its meeting, a summary of any decisions that the Committee made, and any other information that the Committee deems relevant. Additionally, as part of the Committee's report, the Committee will recommend any resolutions that it proposes for adoption by the Board. On an annual basis, each Committee provides a report to shareholders highlighting its work and achievements during the prior year.

 Board, Committee and Director Evaluation
 The Board believes that a regular and formal process of evaluation improves the performance of the Board as a whole, the Committees and individual directors. Each year, a survey is sent to independent directors inviting comments and suggestions on areas for improving the effectiveness of the Board and its Committees. The results of this survey are reviewed by the GNCC, which makes recommendations to the Board as required. Each independent director also receives a self-assessment questionnaire and all directors

 are required to complete a skill-set evaluation which is used by the GNCC for planning purposes.
 The Chair or the Lead Independent Director holds private interviews with each non-management director annually to discuss the operations of the Board and its Committees, and to provide any feedback on individual director's contributions. This interview process also includes a peer review, where each director provides feedback to the Chair or the Lead Independent Director on the performance of their colleagues on the Board. The Chair or the Lead Independent Director reports on these interviews to the GNCC as a basis for recommending to the Board measures to improve individual director performance and the overall effectiveness of the Board.

 Board and Management Responsibilities
 Lead Independent Director
 BAM does not have a separate Chair and CEO, as the Chair and CEO is Mr. Flatt. Since the Board has not appointed an independent Chair, the Board has appointed Mr. Coutu as Lead Independent Director. The Board has adopted written position descriptions for each of the Chair, the Lead Independent Director and CEO, which are summarized below, as well as position descriptions for each Committee Chair. These position descriptions are reviewed annually by the Board and posted on BAM's website,  under "Corporate Governance".
 The Chair manages the business of the Board and ensures that the functions identified in the Board's Charter are being carried out effectively by the Board and its Committees. In addition, the Chair is responsible for: approving the agenda for each Board meeting after consultation with the CEO, President, CFO, COO and Corporate Secretary; ensuring directors receive the information required to perform their duties; ensuring an appropriate committee structure is in place; providing an evaluation system to assess the performance of the Board as a whole, the Committees and individual directors; and working with the CEO and senior management of BAM in monitoring progress on strategic planning, policy implementation and succession planning.
 The Lead Independent Director is generally responsible for facilitating the functioning of the Board independent of management and the non-independent Chair. The responsibilities of the Lead Independent Director include: maintaining and enhancing the quality of corporate governance; coordinating the activities of the other independent directors; consulting and communicating directly with shareholders of BAM and other stakeholders, when appropriate; presiding over all private sessions of BAM's independent and unaffiliated directors and ensuring that matters raised during these meetings are reviewed with the CEO and Chair and acted upon in a timely fashion; providing leadership to the Board if circumstances arise in which the Chair may be, or may be perceived to be, in conflict, in responding to any reported conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, arising for any director; and calling meetings of the independent directors, if necessary.
 The CEO provides leadership to BAM and, subject to approved policies and direction by the Board, manages the business and affairs of BAM and oversees the execution of its strategic plan. In addition, the CEO is responsible for the following functions: presenting to the Board for approval an annual strategic plan for BAM; presenting to the Board for approval BAM's capital and operating plans on an ongoing basis; acting as the primary spokesperson for BAM; presenting to the Board for approval an annual assessment of senior management and succession plans; appointing or terminating senior executives of BAM; setting the direction for BAM's approach to sustainability within its corporate and asset management activities; and, together with the CFO, establishing and maintaining controls and procedures appropriate to ensure the accuracy and integrity of BAM's financial reporting and public disclosures.
 Management's Relationship to the Board
 BAM's senior management team reports to and is accountable to the Board. Members of management attend Board meetings at the invitation of the Chair, and Committee meetings at the invitation of the respective Committee Chairs.
 The information provided by management to directors is critical to Board effectiveness. In addition to the reports presented to the Board and its Committees at meetings, the directors are also kept informed by management on a timely basis of corporate developments and key decisions taken by management in pursuing corporate objectives. The directors annually evaluate the quality, completeness and timeliness of information provided by management to the Board.

 Strategic Planning
 The Board oversees BAM's strategy to be a leading global alternative asset manager across renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate, and credit. To facilitate this strategy, BAM develops an annual business plan to ensure the compatibility of shareholder, Board and management views on BAM's strategic direction and performance targets, and the effective use of shareholder capital. The Board meets once a year at an annual strategy session to review the strategic initiatives and annual business plan submitted by senior management.
 At the Board's annual strategy session, the Board reviews BAM's business model, which is to grow fee-related earnings and distributable earnings by raising and managing Fee-Bearing Capital in various forms from institutional and public market investors. BAM is able to raise capital by creating new investment strategies that help its clients meet their financial objectives and by generating attractive risk-adjusted returns for its clients. In order to deliver strong performance returns on its funds, BAM utilizes its global reach

 to identify and acquire high quality assets at favorable valuations, finance them prudently, and then seek to enhance the cash flows and values of these assets through established operating business groups. BAM's strategic plan is designed to achieve attractive long-term total returns for shareholders while minimizing risk and enhancing value across our various stakeholder groups in the best interests of BAM. At the annual strategy session, the Board evaluates the strategic plan and management's annual accomplishments versus the corporate objectives set forth in the plan.
 The Board approves an annual business plan, which guides senior management in the conduct of BAM's affairs over the ensuing year. Business planning sessions typically occur during the early part of the fourth quarter of each year, where the Board reviews and provides input into management's business plan for the coming year. Material proposed deviations from the approved annual business plan are reported to and considered by the Board.
 Time is spent at each Board meeting discussing BAM's strategy with management in the context of corporate opportunities and strategic initiatives across the organization. On a quarterly basis, the Board reviews the current global economic climate as applicable to BAM and its business, based on which adjustments to BAM's strategy may be considered.

 Risk Management Oversight
 Managing risk is an integral part of the Board's activities. BAM has established a risk management framework for managing risks across the organization and the Board plays a central role in overseeing a disciplined and focused approach to risk management.
 Given the diversification and scope of BAM's operations, BAM seeks to ensure that risk is managed as close to its source as possible, and by management teams that have direct and ongoing knowledge and expertise in the business or risk area. As such, business specific risks are generally managed at the business unit level, as the risks of each business vary based on its unique nature and operational characteristics. At the same time, BAM utilizes a coordinated approach to risks with the potential to impact the asset management business as a whole, as well as risks that tend to be more pervasive and correlated in their impact across the organization. A coordinated approach is also emphasized where management can bring together specialized knowledge to better manage such risks.
 At least quarterly, management reports to the Board and its Committees on developments and progress made on strategies for managing key risks.
 The Board has governance oversight for risk management with a focus on the more significant risks facing BAM, and builds upon management's risk assessment processes. The Board has delegated responsibility for the oversight of specific categories of risks to its Committees as follows:
 Audit Committee
 Oversees the management of risks related to BAM's systems and procedures for financial reporting, as well as for associated audit processes (both internal and external). Part of the Audit Committee's responsibilities is the review and approval of the internal audit plan, which is designed to ensure alignment with risk management activities and organizational priorities.
 Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
 Oversees the management of risks related to BAM's governance structure and management resource matters, including the effectiveness of Board and Committee activities and potential conflicts of interest, succession planning, executive compensation, and the roles and annual objectives of senior executives, as well as performance against those objectives.

 Related Party Transactions
 Pursuant to its charter, the GNCC is responsible for reviewing and conducting oversight of all significant related party transactions involving BAM and situations involving a potential conflict of interest, which includes transactions between BAM and an executive officer, director, principal shareholder or their immediate family members. The GNCC is also responsible for ensuring that no related party transaction entered into is inconsistent with the interests of BAM and its shareholders. Where a related party transaction or situation involving a potential conflict of interest is required to be dealt with by an independent special committee pursuant to applicable securities laws, BAM will form such a committee. See "Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee" on page 204 of this report for more information about the GNCC.

 Location of Annual Meeting of Shareholders
 Beginning in 2025, BAM will transition from a virtual-only meeting format for its annual meeting of shareholders to an in-person meeting held in New York, NY, while continuing to offer an option for virtual participation.

 Controlled Company Exception and Director Independence
 After giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement, BN, directly and indirectly, holds more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors, and as such, BAM is a "controlled company" within the meaning of the corporate governance standards of the NYSE. Under

 these standards, a "controlled company" may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance standards, including the requirements (a) that a majority of its board of directors consist of independent directors, (b) that its board of directors have a compensation committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities and (c) that its board of directors have a nominating and corporate governance committee that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities. We currently do not rely on any of these exemptions; in particular, we currently have and intend to continue to maintain a majority independent board of directors. If, in the future, we rely on these exemptions, but cease to be a "controlled company" and our Class A Shares continue to be listed on the NYSE, we will be required to comply with these provisions within the applicable transition periods. While we are exempt from the NYSE rules requiring a majority of independent directors, we currently have and intend to continue to maintain a majority independent board of directors.
 As at the date of this report, our Board has a total of 12 members, including seven members, Messrs. Coutu, Cutler and Johnson, and Mses. Braly, Garfield, Gilbert and Noble, who are independent under NYSE rules relating to corporate governance matters and the independence standards described in our governance policies.

 Insider Trading Policies
 BAM has an insider trading policy, incorporated by reference in the Code of Conduct, governing the purchase, sale, and other dispositions of BAM's securities that applies to all BAM personnel, including directors, officers, employees, and other covered persons. We believe our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and listing standards applicable to BAM.

 ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 Compensation Discussion and Analysis Overview
 Brookfield's investment approach is to acquire high quality assets and businesses that are reasonably valued and actively utilize the breadth of our operating experience to enhance the value of what we buy. Once we have optimized the earning profile and the investment has been de-risked, we seek to sell the business opportunistically to realize maximum risk-adjusted returns. Our goal is to create long-term sustainable growth in fee-related earnings and carried interest flow from our alternative investment business that increases long-term shareholder value. We believe that the price of the Class A Shares over the long-term is the most relevant and appropriate measure of whether we have achieved this goal.
 Successfully executing on this investment approach requires a management team with a long-term focus on running the business, predicated on collaborative relationships, the discipline to follow our investment strategy in good and more difficult times, and the entrepreneurship to focus on the long-term. In furtherance of our investment approach, we employ a talent management strategy designed to (i) attract people who embrace this long-term focus and demonstrate our values of collaboration, discipline, and entrepreneurship, and (ii) ensure we develop and retain them. The policies and practices we adopt to do this are deliberate. We follow them because they have demonstrably supported, and we believe will continue to support, our long-term approach to running the business.
 The primary objectives of our talent management strategy are to:
 • Attract and retain highly qualified and motivated executives who have confidence in, and are committed to, BAM's overall business strategy to create shareholder value over the long-term;
 • Emphasize long-term decision-making with a focus on capital preservation and achievement of attractive risk-adjusted returns;
 • Encourage collaboration across the organization to ensure we harness the power of the breadth of our platform;
 • Reward consistent, long-term performance aligned with the interests and expectations of our investors; and
 • Be transparent to the employees and the shareholders of BAM.

 Compensation Approach
 A critical component of our talent management strategy is our approach to compensation. Our decades of experience has taught us that the approach we take to compensation is essential to executing our long-term business plan. Some highlights of our approach to compensation include:

 • Alignment of pay with appreciation in our Class A Share price over the long-term.
 • Compensation programs that reward behaviors that align with long-term value creation.
 • Long-term incentives that are competitive with our industry in form and level allowing for the attraction of top talent.
 • Pay mix heavily weighted to long-term incentives.
 • Five-year vesting period for all long-term incentive awards and mandatory hold period upon vest for executive officers.
 • Departing executives forfeit unvested awards.
 • Clawback policy triggered by detrimental conduct or accounting misstatement.
 • Minimum share ownership requirements for executive officers.
 • Say on Pay advisory vote on executive compensation programs.

 Our emphasis on equity compensation, which has long-term vesting and retention requirements, ensures that our executives make decisions and take risks in a manner that aligns with the long-term interests of shareholders. Executives in dedicated fund management groups in most cases have compensation arrangements that also include a component more directly linked to the long-term performance of the fund being managed. This includes BAM's CFO who, in addition to being responsible for overseeing the firm's finance, treasury, tax and investor relations functions, is a co-head of Brookfield's infrastructure debt and structured solutions businesses and has a percentage of her long-term compensation tied to the long-term performance of this business. The value created for the applicable fund's investors directly relates to the payments made under such plans and this value, in turn, benefits BAM. The timing of these payments to executives who are dedicated to a fund are delayed until the fund's performance is substantially realized and risk outcomes are determined, ensuring that the principles of rewarding risk management and value creation over the long-term are consistent across each of our businesses. Awards under these plans have the same 5-year vesting period and departing executives

 forfeit unvested awards. In addition, vested award may be forfeited for non-compliance in certain circumstances. Unless specifically noted otherwise, the remainder of the discussion in this report focuses on the Named Executive Officers (as defined on page 211 of this report) but also pertains to executives of BAM who have corporate responsibilities.
 Compensation Arrangements Create Alignment of Interests between Shareholders and Management
 While the goals of our compensation arrangements are similar to the goals expressed by many companies, the policies and practices we use to achieve these goals differ in certain respects from market convention. Our compensation policies and practices have been shaped to align our executives with our goal of creating exceptional value for our shareholders with a focus on long-term stewardship of the business. More specifically, our compensation programs consistently focus on the long term:
 • All executives receive a significant portion of their compensation in the form of equity which vests for a minimum of a 5-year period in arrears. As individuals progress in seniority, more of their compensation is in the form of long-term awards. The Named Executive Officers, in aggregate, have on average received approximately 77% of their 2024 annual compensation in the form of long-term awards.
 • Cash bonuses represent a relatively modest proportion of each Named Executive Officer's total average annual compensation. Further, Named Executive Officers are eligible to elect to receive their cash bonuses in the form of long-term incentives.
 • Our Option and Escrowed Share awards have a 10-year life and reward executives for share price appreciation over the period. Our senior management team ("Executive Officers"), which includes the Named Executive Officers, has consistently held these equity-based awards for over eight years on average; moreover, upon exercise and/or exchange, our Executive Officers have retained a substantial majority of the net proceeds in the form of Class A Shares of BAM. The Named Executive Officers of BN have historically retained a majority of these equity-based awards for over eight years, and this practice is expected to continue for BAM.
 • Executive officers are required to hold a minimum of five times their salary in BAM equity and all executive officers meet and, in most cases, far exceed this requirement. This high share ownership further demonstrates management's strong alignment with and belief in the long-term prospects of the business.
 • Management, executive officers and directors of BAM hold direct, indirect and economic interests in BAM representing approximately 100 million Class A Shares and share equivalents of BAM. Put simply, our management team acts like, thinks like, and is a significant owner, alongside all of our shareholders, of the business.
 In addition, we have adopted the following policies which further support a long-term ownership focus and alignment with shareholders:
 • Executive officers are required to hold, for at least one year, an interest in Class A Shares equal to the net proceeds realized on the exercise of options or the exchange of Escrowed Shares.
 • Departing executives forfeit all unvested long-term incentive plans awards unless a different arrangement is specifically approved by the GNCC.
 • Our clawback policy provides for the reimbursement of incentive and equity-based compensation by executive officers in the event of conduct that is detrimental to the business or an accounting restatement, and is designed to comply with the clawback rules of the SEC and the related exchange listing standards (the "U.S. Clawback Rules").
 In light of the significant long-term nature of our approach to compensation, we do not add performance conditions to our vesting terms. In general, performance vesting involves setting specific performance metrics which BAM is required to meet over a specified performance period before executives are entitled to receive value under the long-term plan. It is quite common for these provisions to include performance periods of three years. As noted above, our compensation programs provide for longer vesting periods of five years. We believe that adding short-term performance metrics to our compensation plans would be detrimental to our overall long-term focus and would threaten to introduce the risk of behavior that favors short-term performance over long-term value creation. While we are respectful of those who use these metrics, we have reviewed this approach and do not believe it is in the best interests of our shareholders or of the business.
 Value creation for our senior management team is virtually 100% based on share price over the long term — we do not provide performance multipliers that pay out for strong performance in a weak market or for achieving internal targets set by management — our management receive value from their equity awards only when our shareholders realize value over the long-term.
 The following sections provide a detailed description of BAM's executive compensation philosophy and programs and the decisions of our GNCC under these programs, as well as the factors considered in making its decisions.

 Overview of the Business in 2024
 BAM's operations are organized into five principal investment strategies in addition to our corporate activities. These strategies consist of renewable power and transition, infrastructure, private equity, real estate and credit. Certain executives who: (i) have responsibility for overall corporate activity; (ii) are in charge of one of BAM's principal business units, divisions or functions; or (iii) perform a similar policy making function for BAM, are executive officers of BAM. As at December 31, 2024, there were nine executive officers.
 BAM's compensation philosophy described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis is applicable for all corporate executives; however, the focus is on the compensation of our "Named Executive Officers" for 2024 who were:

 Named Executive Officer
 Position

 CEO, BAM

 Hadley Peer Marshall(a)

 CFO, BAM

 Bahir Manios(a)

 Former CFO, BAM

 President, BAM; CEO, Renewable Power and Transition

 CEO, Real Estate

 Anuj Ranjan(b)

 CEO, Private Equity

 (a) On March 19, 2024, BAM announced the appointment of Hadley Peer Marshall as CFO of BAM effective May 31, 2024.
 (b) On February 1, 2024, Anuj Ranjan was formally appointed as CEO, Private Equity.
 The GNCC recommends to the full Board for the final approval of the compensation for the Named Executive Officers and the other executive officers of BAM.
 The Board has charged the executive officers with building a global asset management business focused on long-term sustainable growth in cash flows. The following table outlines the key business accomplishments for 2024:
 2024 Business Achievements
 • Expanded our asset management activities:
 • Increased Assets Under Management to over $1 trillion and Fee-Bearing Capital to $539 billion.
 • Raised $137 billion of capital for the full year.
 • Deployed $48 billion of capital over the year, most notably within credit (over $26 billion), real estate ($6.1 billion), and private equity ($5.9 billion). Additionally, we sold assets and businesses valued at nearly $40 billion, representing $30 billion of equity capital.
 • Our asset management business recorded strong financial results, generating $2.5 billion of Fee-Related Earnings in the year, up 10% from the prior year, and $2.4 billion of Distributable Earnings, up 5% from the prior year.
 • Increased our quarterly dividend by 15% to $1.75 per share on an annual basis.

 Role of the Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
 Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Members and Expertise
 Mses. Garfield (Chair) and Noble were appointed to the GNCC on December 9, 2022, Ms. Gilbert was appointed to the GNCC on June 9, 2023, and Mr. Cutler was appointed to the GNCC effective March 17, 2025. Each of the four members of the GNCC are independent, and the Board believes that the GNCC collectively has the knowledge, skills, experience and background required to fulfill its mandate.
 Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee Mandate
 The GNCC has a specific written mandate to review and approve compensation for the executive officers. This includes an annual evaluation of the performance of the Named Executive Officers and other executive officers. The GNCC makes recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of the Named Executive Officers and the Board gives final approval on compensation matters.
 The GNCC meets as required, and at least annually, to monitor and review management compensation policies, management succession planning, diversity and the overall composition and quality of BAM's management resources. The GNCC held eight meetings in 2024, consisting of three regular meetings and five meetings held in connection with the 2025 Arrangement, and there are four regular meetings scheduled for 2025. None of the recommendations of the GNCC have been rejected or modified by the Board during 2024.

 Benchmarking Executive Compensation and Compensation Peer Group
 Salary and short-term incentives are elements of compensation that can be easily benchmarked; however, long-term incentives are more difficult to benchmark since their value is dependent on the underlying assumptions used by each organization and may not be consistent across organizations. Since long-term incentives are a significant focus of BAM's incentive programs, the GNCC has not defined a peer group or benchmarked Named Executive Officer compensation against a peer group. Management conducts annual compensation benchmarking for executives and results are shared with the GNCC as appropriate. As described above, the GNCC believes that BAM's current compensation policies have assisted in attracting and retaining top talent and encouraging executives to assess the risks related to their decisions and actions, and minimizing the ability of executives to benefit from taking risks that increase the performance of BAM in the short-term at the expense of long-term value. The GNCC also believes that BAM's current compensation policies meet BAM's other objectives, as described under "Compensation Approach" on page 209 of this report.
 Independent Compensation Advisors
 The GNCC has the authority to retain independent compensation advisors, but did not do so in 2024. If the GNCC engages outside compensation advisors in the future, it will take appropriate steps to ensure they are independent from, and provide no other services to, BAM or its management.
 Succession Planning
 Each year the GNCC assesses the availability of suitable succession candidates for the executive officer positions, including the CEO and other Named Executive Officers. Specifically, the GNCC is provided with a list of potential leadership candidates and reviews the performance, skills, current responsibilities and plans for their continued development. In addition, the GNCC spends time each year reviewing, with management, the performance and development of junior executives. The GNCC believes that this review is important for succession planning purposes and for the compensation awarding process. Brookfield has a long history of developing executives from within rather than hiring externally and the awarding of long-term incentives is an important component of rewarding and retaining these executives.
 Diversity
 BAM is committed to workplace diversity; both ethnic and gender diversity are important to BAM's long-term success and BAM actively supports the development and advancement of a diverse group of employees capable of achieving leadership positions. Leadership appointments are solely based on merit, and not on other factors because management and the Board believe that merit should be the guiding factor in determining whether a particular candidate is capable of bringing value to BAM. As such, the Board has not adopted formal targets for female representation in executive positions. However, a cornerstone of BAM's succession planning process is a tailored approach to the development and advancement of employees capable of achieving executive officer positions. Tailoring the development plan for each individual permits BAM to consider the needs of the individual, including considerations that are gender-based. This tailored approach to developing executives starts with identifying individuals who demonstrate the skills and attributes required to achieve executive officer positions within BAM. The progress of these individuals is reviewed annually in order to ensure that each individual is being provided opportunities to achieve their potential. Development opportunities include exposure to a new competency or skill, a transfer between business units, a relocation, a role expansion and other stretch opportunities.
 While BAM has not adopted formal targets for female representation in executive officer positions, management and the GNCC actively monitor the percentage of females identified as capable of achieving executive officer positions in aggregate, by business unit and by geography. In 2024, of the individuals identified as having the potential to achieve executive officer positions, approximately 48% self-identified as ethnically diverse and approximately 37% were women. Management and the GNCC review annually a summary of high performance employees, including by gender and geography, the type of development opportunities provided to these individuals and changes to their compensation year over year in order to monitor BAM's activities related to increasing female representation in senior management positions.
 Compensation Related Risk
 Annually, the GNCC reviews BAM's compensation approach, policies and practices as well as BAM's incentive plans at the corporate level and within its business units. In 2024, the GNCC completed this review in November 2024.
 The GNCC also reviews the terms and conditions of the Long-Term Share Ownership Plans, as well as any proposed amendments, and considers the appropriateness and effectiveness of the plans in the context of current compensation practices, regulatory changes and BAM's objectives. The GNCC receives an update on the financial arrangements entered into by BAM to hedge the impact on BAM of future increases in the market price of its Class A Shares against the liability incurred under BAM's Deferred Share Unit Plan. For 2024, the GNCC determined that the plans are appropriate and effective.
 The GNCC reviewed BAM's compensation policies and practices, including the design of BAM's incentive plans to ensure that they:
 • encourage management to consider the risks associated with their decisions;

 • minimize management's ability to benefit from taking risks that increase performance in the short-term at the expense of long-term value creation;
 • hold management accountable for their decisions both during employment with, and post-departure from, BAM; and
 • provide discretion to the GNCC, where appropriate, to prevent unintended consequences which either unduly benefit or penalize management.
 This review separately considered businesses that deploy capital (e.g. private fund business) and businesses that do not deploy capital (e.g. fee for service business) since the compensation risks associated with these businesses are different.
 The GNCC reported the results of its 2024 review to the Board in November 2024. The GNCC did not identify any risks which are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on BAM. It was concluded that BAM's compensation approach, policies and practices for its executives at the corporate level and within its business units appropriately:
 • encourage executives to consider the risks associated with their decisions and actions; and
 • do not result in the probability that excessive payouts will be made before the outcome of risks are known.
 In reaching their conclusion, the GNCC considered the following:
 • the emphasis on long-term compensation for executives in businesses that allocate capital including five-year vesting periods and the forfeiture terms related to departure;
 • the fact that the design of incentive arrangements for businesses that deploy capital considers the additional risk relative to businesses that do not deploy capital;
 • the direct link between the payout to the executive and the performance of the businesses; and
 • the timing of payouts to executives who are dedicated to a fund are delayed until the funds' performance is substantially realized and risk outcomes are determined.
 The GNCC also reported that the compensation arrangements for the Named Executive Officers are consistent with the objectives of BAM's compensation program as outlined under "Compensation Approach" on page 209 of this report, support the creation of shareholder value over the longer term, as well as the attraction and retention of executives who make decisions with a long-term view, and encourage an assessment of risk related to the decisions made and actions taken. The following practices related to the compensation of the executive officers support this conclusion:
 • the highest percentage of total annual compensation is granted as Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards which vest over five years with overlapping vesting periods;
 • the significant level of equity ownership by management;
 • management remains exposed to the long-term risks associated with their decision-making through their equity ownership and compensation granted as long-term incentives;
 • the fact that options and escrowed shares are held well beyond their vesting period and generally until close to their expiry date; and
 • the length of tenure of management with Brookfield.

 Key Elements of Compensation

 During the past three years, total compensation for the Named Executive Officers has been comprised of approximately 12% Base Salary, 10% Annual Management Incentive Plan awards and 78% Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards.

 In order to achieve our compensation objective to create alignment of interests between shareholders and management, while minimizing management's ability to benefit from taking risks that increase performance in the short-term at the expense of long-term value creation, executives receive a substantial portion of their compensation in awards under the Long-Term Share Ownership Plans as described on pages 215 to 217 of this report which:
 • reinforces the focus on long-term value creation;
 • aligns the interests of executives with other shareholders of BAM; and
 • encourages management to follow a rigorous forward-looking risk assessment process when making business decisions.

 Total compensation for executives with corporate responsibilities is comprised of the following elements: Base Salary, Annual Management Incentive Plan awards ("Bonus") and participation in BAM's Long Term Share Ownership Plans and standard benefits.
 Total compensation for executives who are at earlier stages in their careers also includes awards pursuant to BAM's Long-Term Share Ownership Plans but a larger percentage of their total compensation is in the form of Base Salary and Bonus awards in recognition of their personal needs and to be competitive within the alternative asset management industry. Furthermore, changes in total compensation from year to year often vary more for these executives as they take on increasing responsibility.
 As executives progress within BAM, they have the opportunity to receive their annual Bonus in DSUs instead of cash under BAM's Deferred Share Unit Plan or Restricted Shares under BAM's Restricted Stock Plan. This enables executives to increase their ownership interest in BAM over time.
 The following table provides an overview of each of the elements of compensation, followed by further details related to BAM's Bonus and Long-Term Share Ownership Plans.

 Element
 Purpose
 How Determined

 Base Salary
 • Deliver the only form of fixed compensation
 • CEO Base Salary is similar to other executive officers, subject to cost of living differentials between employment locations
 • Not intended to be the most significant component of an executive's compensation

 • Base Salaries for senior and other executives are reviewed annually to reflect the relative experience and contribution of each executive

 Annual Management Incentive Plan (Bonus)

 Maximum target annual incentive is 100% of Base Salary
 (There is a detailed description of the plan on page 215 and 2024 awards are outlined on page 220 of this report)

 • Motivate and reward participants for achieving annual business objectives and for making decisions and taking actions consistent with BAM's long-term focus
 • Foster a collaborative approach to meeting long-term objectives
 • Not intended to be the most significant component of an executive's compensation
 • Executives may elect to take bonuses in the form of DSUs or Restricted Shares

 • Annual cash bonuses are discretionary, based on individual, team and corporate performance
 • Awards are based on performance and consider the specific operational and individual annual performance targets, but are not formulaic

 Long-Term Share Ownership Plans

 (There is a detailed description of each of the plans on pages 215 to 217 and 2024 awards are also outlined on page 220 of this report)

 • Align the executive's interests with those of BAM's shareholders
 • Foster a collaborative approach to meeting long-term objectives
 • Enable participants to create personal wealth through an increase in the value of BAM's shares
 • Motivate executives to improve BAM's long-term financial success
 • Intended to be the most significant component
 of an executive's compensation

 • BAM currently operates three Long-Term Share Ownership Plans and executives receive their long-term incentive awards in one of the following Plans:
 1. Share Option Plans
 • Management Share Option Plan
 • Non-qualified Management Share Option Plan
 2. Deferred Share Unit Plan
 3. Restricted Stock Plans
 • Restricted Stock Plan
 • Escrowed Stock Plan
 • Annual participation in each plan is dependent on the business unit and the level of the executive
 • Named Executive Officers receive their long-term incentive award in the form of Escrowed Shares under the Escrowed Stock Plan

 Group Benefits

 Health Insurance
 • Provide health and dental benefits and life and disability insurance coverage

 • All employees, including the Named Executive Officers, are eligible to participate in health, dental and insurance plans which vary by location

 Retirement Savings Plan

 • Provide tax deferred retirement savings

 • All employees, including the Named Executive Officers, are eligible to receive an annual contribution to a registered retirement savings plan equivalent to a nominal percentage of Base Salary based on local market practice. The percentage is the same for all executives
 • There are no defined benefit pension plans in place for the Named Executive Officers or any other executives

 Annual Management Incentive Plan ("Bonus Plan")
 BAM believes that, given its focus on the long-term when making decisions, the impact of which is difficult to assess in the short-term, a heavy emphasis on annual incentives and a formulaic calculation of awards based on the achievement of annual operational or individual performance targets may not appropriately reflect decisions that are fully aligned with the long-term strategy of BAM. Accordingly, the awards made under the Bonus Plan typically represents approximately 10% of an executive officer's total compensation.
 The GNCC believes that its ability to exercise discretion and judgment is critical to ensuring that annual incentives reflect the assessment of risk in the decisions and actions taken by management and consider unexpected circumstances or events that have occurred during the year. Accordingly, for the executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, the GNCC starts with a review of the management team's collective performance in meeting the broader business plan objectives. These objectives include both short-term operational goals and objectives related to the implementation of the long-term business strategy. Given the emphasis on long-term value creation, it is not unusual for some of the objectives set at the beginning of the year to change during the year. Each year, the GNCC reviews:
 • the accomplishments during the year;
 • why certain objectives were not met or certain actions were not undertaken; and
 • additional initiatives undertaken by management, which were not contemplated in the initial objectives.
 Accordingly, annual incentive awards are determined based on the GNCC's:
 • assessment of management's decisions and actions and how those decisions and actions align with BAM's long-term strategy of value creation and how management considered the risks associated with such decisions; and
 • determination of whether any objectives were not met because management made decisions in the best long-term interests of BAM or due to factors outside of management's control.
 The compensation structure for Mr. Flatt includes a Base Salary and Long-Term Share Ownership award only, further reinforcing a focus on long-term decision-making. In addition, given BAM's view that a collaborative approach is fundamental to meeting its long-term objectives, the Bonus Plan awards for the Named Executive Officers tend to be similar in amount and typically do not fluctuate significantly from year to year.
 For other executives, the incentive award is based more on the performance of the individual executive (as measured by the achievement of specific objectives) and less on collective performance.
 Long-Term Share Ownership Plans
 BAM's Long-Term Share Ownership Plans are intended to:
 • encourage share ownership;
 • increase executives' interest in the success of BAM;
 • encourage executives to remain with BAM as a result of the delayed vesting of awards; and
 • attract new members of management by remaining competitive in terms of total compensation arrangements.
 BAM has three types of Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. Awards are made under the following plans:

 Award
 Key Terms
 Basis for Award

 Option Plans

 Management Share Option Plan and Non-Qualified Management Share Option Plan (collectively, the "Option Plans")

 In certain circumstances, to executives commencing employment with BAM
 • The CEO recommends all awards to the GNCC
 • The GNCC recommends the award for the CEO
 • The Board, at the recommendation of the GNCC, approves all awards

 2024 Awards and Exercises
 In 2024, we granted a total of 6,125,975 options under the Option Plans, representing approximately 1.3% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024, and 0.4% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at March 7, 2025, reflecting the increase in BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares after giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement, each on a fully diluted basis.
 In total during 2024, 2.6 million options with an aggregate in-the-money value of $61 million were disposed of or exercised.

 Restricted Stock Plans

 Class A Shares purchased directly or indirectly on the open market subject to certain restrictions ("Restricted Shares")

 • Vesting period over five years
 • Restricted Shares awarded in lieu of an annual cash bonus vest immediately
 • Vested and unvested Restricted Shares must be held until the vesting date (or in certain jurisdictions, until the fifth anniversary of the award date)

 • Occasionally awarded as long-term incentives

 2024 Awards
 In 2024, we granted a total of 1,858,261 Restricted Shares.

 Non-voting common shares ("Escrowed Shares") of one or more private companies (each, an "Escrowed Company"). Each Escrowed Company is capitalized with common shares and preferred shares issued to BAM and BN for shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC, Class A Shares or cash proceeds. Regular dividends paid to each Escrowed Company on the shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC or the Class A Shares acquired by the Escrowed Company will be used to pay dividends on the preferred shares which are held by BAM and BN.

 • Typically vest 20% each year commencing on
 the first anniversary of the date of the award
 • Right to exchange Escrowed Shares for Class A Shares issued from treasury no later than the 10th anniversary of the award date
 • Any Class A Shares acquired by an Escrowed Company will not be voted
 • Any Class A Shares acquired by the Escrowed Companies are purchased in the open market, thereby limiting dilution for shareholders

 • Generally awarded in the first quarter of each year as part of the annual compensation review and only to the executive officers and certain senior management(a)
 • The CEO recommends all awards to the GNCC
 • The GNCC recommends the award for the CEO
 • The Board, at the recommendation of the GNCC, approves all awards

 2024 Awards and Settlements
 In 2024, BAM granted a total of 4,903,300 Escrowed Shares and 89,490 Class A Shares were issued under the Escrowed Stock Plan for settlement of existing awards.

 (a)For corporate executives, the annual long-term incentive award is typically in the form of options, Escrowed Shares or occasionally Restricted Shares. The number of options, Escrowed Shares or Restricted Shares awarded is dependent on the executive's annual target (the "Target"). The Target is a function of the executive's role, level and contribution. Accordingly, an individual's Target typically increases over time. The number of options or Escrowed Shares awarded to an executive is calculated as (i) the Target divided by (ii) the price of the Class A Shares at the time the award is determined. In certain circumstances, awards in excess of the Target are granted to executives who have taken on additional responsibility, or who have consistently performed at a high level.

 Key Policies and Practices to Support Alignment
 The GNCC maintains compensation programs that incorporate leading compensation governance principles. Highlighted below are some of BAM's executive compensation policies and practices that are designed to (i) encourage executives to consider the risks associated with their decisions, (ii) minimize the risk that executives are rewarded in the short-term for actions which are detrimental in the long-term, and (iii) reinforce the alignment of the interests of management with the long-term interests of shareholders.
 The following outlines BAM's policies and practices which incorporate leading compensation governance principles:
 Require executive officers to own a significant interest in BAM
 Require executive officers to hold for at least one year, an interest in Class A Shares equal to the net
 proceeds realized on exercise of options or exchange of Escrowed Shares
 Provide for clawback of incentive and equity-based compensation in the event of accounting restatements or detrimental conduct
 Require long-term incentives to vest over five years
 Termination provisions generally require departing executives to forfeit unvested awards
 Do not provide defined benefit pension plans for any executives
 Restrict hedging of shares or share-based incentives
 Share Ownership Guidelines
 The executive officers are required to hold Class A Shares, DSUs, Restricted Shares or other equity securities that own underlying Class A Shares with a value equal to five times Base Salary, based on the market value of the securities held, and which must be attained within five years of being designated as executive officers. As at March 7, 2025, all of the Executive Officers and Named

 Executive Officers who are required to have met the share ownership requirement have done so. Any Executive Officer who has not yet met the ownership requirement remains on track to fulfill the ownership requirement within the applicable timeframe.
 Reimbursement of Incentive and Equity-Based Compensation (Clawback)
 Pursuant to BAM's Clawback Policy (the "Clawback Policy"), executive officers may be required to pay to BAM an amount equal to some or all of any cash payments or equity awards granted or paid to, or earned by, such executive officer under the terms of any of BAM's incentive compensation or long-term incentives plans (collectively, "Awards"). This payment may be required in the event that (i) BAM is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to BAM's material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under United States federal securities laws or to avoid a material accounting misstatement or (ii) an executive officer is determined to have engaged in conduct which the GNCC determines is detrimental to BAM.
 The GNCC has full and final authority to make all determinations under the Clawback Policy including, without limitation, whether the Clawback Policy applies and if so, the amount of compensation to be repaid or forfeited by the executive officer. In the event that BAM is required to prepare an accounting restatement, the GNCC will review all incentive-based compensation earned by its executive officers (i) after beginning service as an executive officer, (ii) during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which BAM is required to prepare the accounting restatement (as well as during any transition period specified in the U.S. Clawback Rules), (iii) while BAM has a class of securities listed on a U.S. stock exchange, and (iv) after the U.S. Clawback Rules became effective. If the GNCC determines that one or more executive officers received any erroneously awarded compensation in connection with an accounting restatement, the GNCC will seek recoupment from such executive officers of all such erroneously awarded compensation, unless it determines that one of the impracticality exceptions set forth in the U.S. Clawback Rules is available.
 In order to protect BAM's reputation and competitive ability, the Clawback Policy may also apply to executive officers that engage in conduct that is detrimental to BAM during or after the cessation of such executive officer's employment with BAM. Detrimental conduct includes any conduct or activity, whether or not related to the business of BAM, that is determined in individual cases by the GNCC, to constitute: (i) fraud, theft-in-office, embezzlement or other illegal activity; (ii) failure to abide by applicable financial reporting, disclosure and/or accounting guidelines; (iii) material violations of BAM's Code; or (iv) material violations of BAM's Positive Work Environment Policy (including the sexual harassment related provisions thereof). In the event that it is determined that detrimental conduct has occurred, the Clawback Policy relates to any Awards received: (i) on or after the date the executive officer is determined to have engaged in detrimental conduct; and/or (ii) the two year period prior to the date the executive officer is determined to have engaged in detrimental conduct.
 Where it is determined (i) through an accounting restatement that incentive-based compensation was erroneously awarded to an executive officer or (ii) that the executive officer engaged in detrimental conduct, the GNCC will have the ability to: (x) require the executive officer to re-pay any Award paid to the executive officer; (y) cancel/revoke any prior Award that has not yet vested, and any Award that has vested but has not yet been exercised, to the executive officer; and/or (z) require the executive officer to re-pay the cash value realized by the executive officer on any Award that has already vested to the executive officer. Awards include all plans under which cash payments or equity awards granted or paid are currently being made (DSUs, Escrowed Shares and Restricted Shares) or any plans which are no longer operating but still have outstanding awards.
 Hedging of Economic Risks for Personal Equity Ownership
 All executives are prohibited from entering into transactions that have the effect of hedging the economic value of any direct or indirect interests by the executive in Class A Shares, including their participation in Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. Under limited circumstances, an executive may be permitted to enter into a transaction that has the effect of hedging the economic value of any direct or indirect interests held by such executive, but only to the extent that the transaction (i) is executed and disclosed in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations; (ii) has been approved by the CEO, President and CFO and, if appropriate, the GNCC; and (iii) is in respect of interests directly or indirectly held by such individual in excess of the interests that such individual is required to hold under the Share Ownership Guidelines. To date, no executive has hedged the economic value of their direct or indirect interests in BAM.
 Option Exercise Hold Periods During and Post-Employment
 In order to minimize any possibility of executives opportunistically exercising options and selling the securities received at an inappropriate time, and to require share ownership post-employment, executive officers are required to continue to hold, for at least one year, an interest in Class A Shares equal to any net after-tax cash proceeds realized from the exercise of options or exchange of Escrowed Shares. This requirement is distinct and in addition to any share ownership guidelines.

 Termination and Change of Control Provisions
 As a general practice, BAM does not provide contractual termination or post-termination payments or change of control arrangements to employees. Specifically, BAM has not entered into contractual termination, post-termination or change of control arrangements, employment contracts or golden parachutes with any of its Named Executive Officers.

 The following table provides a summary of the termination provisions in BAM's Long-Term Share Ownership Plan. No incremental entitlements are triggered by termination, resignation, retirement or a change in control. Any exceptions to these provisions are approved on an individual basis at the time of cessation of employment. Exceptions are approved by the Chair of the GNCC or the Board, depending on the circumstances.

 2024 Compensation Decisions
 The Board has charged Mr. Flatt and his management team with expanding the asset management business globally in a manner consistent with the creation of shareholder value over the long term. Mr. Flatt's personal performance, as well as the performance of the executive officers, is reviewed each year by the Board and the GNCC in relation to operational results, the achievement of other objectives set out at the beginning of the year related to the implementation of the long-term business strategy and other accomplishments.
 Each year, the CEO presents an annual business plan to the Board. The plan incorporates both short-term and long-term growth objectives. This annual business plan sets out the strategic direction of BAM, together with specific operational targets and objectives related to the implementation of BAM's long-term business strategy. The targets and objectives are aggressive and, given the opportunistic and entrepreneurial nature of the organization, provide the Board with examples of various transactions and initiatives that management believes will create shareholder value over the long-term.
 The determination of annual incentive awards and long-term ownership awards is not formulaic but instead is entirely based on the Board's assessment of the specific actions taken during the year by the team to implement BAM's strategic plans and any amendments to the plans, all in the context of long-term value creation, and other actions taken in response to unforeseen developments during the year.
 Information Reviewed by the Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee
 In February 2025, the GNCC received a report detailing the compensation arrangements for the executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers. The report summarized the total 2024 compensation, including proposed annual incentive awards and Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards as well as the proposed 2025 Base Salaries. The report also presented a wealth

 accumulation analysis, including the "in-the-money" value of vested and unvested Long-Term Share Ownership Plan awards previously granted and the options exercised during the year for each executive officer.
 The report included an analysis of the expected value of 2024 compensation awards to the Named Executive Officers that would be paid under various performance results. The GNCC determined that the resulting compensation was reasonable and appropriate based on the projected performance of the Class A Shares over a 10-year period.
 The extent of equity ownership by all executives is an important consideration for the GNCC. It demonstrates the extent to which executives will benefit from, and will be motivated to achieve, the long-term enhancement of shareholder value. Accordingly, the report also contained an analysis of equity ownership by all executives. It also summarized the equity ownership by the most senior executives including Class A Shares held directly and indirectly as well as through Long-Term Share Ownership Plans, along with a summary of the tenure with the organization of each executive officer. The GNCC determined that the significant level of equity ownership of the executive officers creates an alignment of interests to enhance shareholder value over the longer term.
 In addition, the report contained a summary of regular and additional discretionary option awards to all executives as recommended by the executive officers. The GNCC has determined that these arrangements are reasonable and appropriate.
 2024 Incentive Awards
 The GNCC considered the significant achievements by BAM in 2024 as outlined on page 211 of this report. After considering these achievements, the GNCC determined that management had advanced the long-term business strategy in a manner consistent with the creation of shareholder value over the longer term. Accordingly, the annual and long-term incentive awards for 2024 were as follows:

 Named Executive Officer
 Annual Incentive ($)

 Long-Term Incentive Value ($)

 Bruce Flatt(a)

 —
 4,470,600

 690,000
 2,889,125

 (a)Mr. Flatt is not eligible for an annual incentive. His compensation consists of a Base Salary and an award under one of BAM's Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In addition, Mr. Flatt, who remains CEO of BN, will also be eligible for BN compensation, including Long-Term Share Ownership Plans. In 2024, Mr. Flatt also received $7,135,240 in Long-Term Incentive Value as BN compensation in his capacity as CEO of BN.

 The GNCC considered these awards to be aligned with the compensation approach of rewarding long-term value creation and consistent with BAM's compensation philosophy of providing a significant portion of executive compensation in the form of long-term equity-based awards.
 The Named Executive Officers also received an annual contribution to a retirement savings plan. Their participation in these retirement savings plans is on the same basis as all other employees of BAM subject to geographic and market differentials, and they do not have any entitlement to future pension benefits or other post-employment benefits from BAM. As a result, BAM has no post-employment obligation to provide pension, medical or other employee benefits to the Named Executive Officers.
 Named Executive Officer Compensation Mix
 On average, approximately 74% of the value of compensation awarded to our Named Executive Officers for 2024, excluding Mr. Flatt, is in the form of long-term incentive awards. Approximately 92% of the value of compensation awarded to Mr. Flatt for 2024 is in the form of long-term share ownership awards. The actual value of this compensation, which is earned over time, depends upon the performance of the Class A Shares. The compensation mix for the Named Executive Officers, in 2024, is set out in the table below.

 Chief Executive Officer Ownership Interests in BAM
 Consistent with BAM's philosophy of aligning the interests of management and shareholders and fostering an entrepreneurial environment that encourages a focus on long-term value creation, Mr. Flatt has, over his 35 years with Brookfield, and as a result of the treatment of outstanding long-term incentive awards in the Arrangement, accumulated a number of ownership interests in BAM in the form of DSUs and Escrowed Shares. In addition, and separate from any compensation arrangements, but relevant to the extent it aligns Mr. Flatt's interests with shareholders, Mr. Flatt owns a significant number of Class A Shares. These ownership interests are held both directly and through ownership in PVI.

 (a)Mr. Flatt's compensation consists of an annual Base Salary and Escrowed Shares. Each other Named Executive Officer is awarded an annual incentive which they can elect to receive in cash, DSUs or Restricted Shares.
 (b)Mr. Flatt also received compensation paid by BN in recognition of his role as CEO of BN for the year ended December 31, 2024. Such compensation consisted of a salary of $375,000 and an Escrowed Share award with a grant date fair value of $7,135,240 based on the grant date price of a BN Class A Share on the NYSE on February 24, 2025 of $60.28. This value awarded is determined by the BN Board and considers the stock market price of the BN Class A Shares at the time of the award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 31.32%, a risk free rate of 4.36% and a dividend yield of 0.8%. These values have been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
 (c)Ms. Peer Marshall was appointed as Chief Financial Officer effective May 31, 2024. Prior to May 31, 2024, the CFO role was filled by Mr. Bahir Manios who was appointed as Senior Advisor effective May 31, 2024. Mr. Manios's compensation is as follows:

 (d)To provide for alignment with BN (as majority shareholder of BAM) consistent with that of other BAM Named Executive Officers, Mr. Teskey also received an award of BN Escrowed Shares granted by BN on February 24, 2025. The BN Escrowed Shares have a grant date fair value of $8,919,050 based on the grant date price of a BN Class A Share on the NYSE on February 24, 2025 of $60.28. The value of the Escrowed Shares is determined by the BN Board and considers the stock market price of the BN Class A Shares at the time of the award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 31.32%, a risk free rate of 4.36% and a dividend yield of 0.8%. These values, for the annual grants, have been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
 (e)The amounts for 2024 reflect grants of Escrowed Shares for all Named Executive Officers. The value awarded under the Escrowed Stock Plan for annual grants is determined by the Board and considers the stock market price of the Class A Shares at the time of the award and the potential increase in value based on a hold period of 7.5 years, a volatility of 29.91%, a risk free rate of 4.36% and a dividend yield of 3.71%. These values, for the annual grants, have been discounted by 25% to reflect the five-year vesting.
 (f)For additional disclosure, the following table shows the number of Escrowed Shares granted during the fiscal year 2022 pursuant to adjustments made to outstanding equity-based awards of BN (the "Arrangement Adjustments") in connection with the 2022 Arrangement, in their capacity as employees of BN.

 Security-Based Compensation Arrangements
 BAM's only security-based compensation arrangements are its Option Plans and its Escrowed Stock Plan.
 2022 Management Share Option Plan
 The 2022 Management Share Option Plan (the "2022 Plan") was approved by the BN Board on September 23, 2022 and by the holders of Class A Shares of BN at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held on November 9, 2022. The 2022 Plan provides for the issuance of 17,500,000 Class A Shares (representing approximately 3.95% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024, and 1.07% as at March 7, 2025, reflecting the increase in BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares after giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement). Options to acquire 8,887,513 Class A Shares have been granted but not exercised, representing approximately 2.01% and 0.54%, respectively, of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025. 4,481,396 Class A Shares are available for future option grants, representing approximately 1.01% and 0.27%, respectively, of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025.
 2022 Non-Qualified Management Share Option Plan
 The 2022 Non-Qualified Management Share Option Plan (the "2022 Non-Qualified Plan") was approved by the BN Board on September 23, 2022 and by the holders of Class A Shares of BN at the Special Meeting of Shareholder held on November 9, 2022. The 2022 Non-Qualified Plan provides for the issuance of 12,500,000 Class A Shares (representing approximately 2.82% and 0.76% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively. As at December 31, 2024, 3,444,066 Class A Shares were issuable pursuant to options granted under the 2022 Non-Qualified Plan, representing approximately 0.78% and 0.21% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively. As at December 31, 2024, 9,038,169 Class A Shares remained available for future option grants, representing 2.04% and 0.55% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively.
 General Terms of Option Plans
 The Board establishes the exercise price of each option at the time it is granted, which may not be less than the volume-weighted average price of a Class A Share on the NYSE for the five trading days preceding the effective grant date. If options are approved during a restricted trading period, the effective grant date may not be less than six business days after the restricted trading period ends.
 The following is a summary of the other key provisions of the 2022 Management Share Option Plan and 2022 Non-Qualified Management Share Option Plan (collectively, the "Option Plans"). Employees, officers and consultants of BAM and its affiliates and others designated by the Board are eligible to participate in the Option Plans. Non-employee directors are not eligible to participate in the Option Plans. The number of Class A Shares issuable to insiders at any time, or issued in any one year to insiders, under any of BAM's security-based compensation arrangements cannot exceed in either case 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of this class; and no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares may be issued under these arrangements to any one person. The Board determines the vesting period for each option grant, which is normally 20% per year over five years commencing the first year after

 the grant. The Board also sets the expiry period for each option grant, which may not exceed 10 years, except where the expiry date falls during or shortly after a restricted trading period, in which case the expiry date is 10 days after the restricted trading period ends.
 The Option Plans set out provisions regarding the exercise and cancellation of options following a change in the employment status of a plan participant. In general, all vested options must be exercised by, and all unvested options are cancelled on, a participant's termination date, except as follows: in the event of termination by BAM for reasons other than cause or due to a continuous leave of absence as a result of a disability, vested options must be exercised within 60 days following the termination date; in the event of retirement, vested options continue to be exercisable until the applicable expiry date; and in the event of death, all granted options continue to vest and be exercisable for six months following death. No incremental entitlements are triggered by a change in control of BAM under the Option Plans.
 The Option Plans permit participants to exercise vested options in exchange for a number of Class A Shares equivalent in value to (i) the aggregate fair market value of the Class A Shares underlying the options on the exercise date over the aggregate exercise price of the options, less (ii) applicable withholding taxes (only to the extent such taxes have not otherwise been satisfied by the participant). This provides for a reduction in shareholder dilution upon the exercise of options using this feature.
 The Option Plans also provide that each person that is an officer, employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates shall, for so long as such person remains an officer, employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates, be permitted to hold and exercise his or her options in accordance with their terms as though such person was an officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, of BAM or any of its affiliates. The 2022 Plan also permits participants to pay the applicable exercise price and acquire the full number of Class A Shares underlying the options.
 Procedure for Amending Option Plans
 The Option Plans contain an amending provision setting out the types of amendments which can be approved by the Board without shareholder approval and those which require shareholder approval. Shareholder approval is required for any amendment that increases the number of shares issuable under the Option Plans, that lengthens the period of time after a restricted trading period during which options may be exercised, results in the exercise price being lower than fair market value of a Class A Share at the date of grant, reduces the exercise price or any cancellation and reissuance of an option which would be considered a repricing under TSX rules, expands insider participation, extends the term of an option beyond its expiry date, adds a provision which results in participants receiving shares for no consideration or other amendments required by law to be approved by shareholders. The Option Plans also require shareholder approval for any amendment which would permit options to be transferable or assignable other than for normal estate planning purposes, any amendment to the amendment provisions, any amendment expanding the categories of eligible participants which may permit the introduction or reintroduction of non-employee directors on a discretionary basis and any amendment to remove or exceed the insider participation limit. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendment to the Option Plans or any option that is of a housekeeping or administrative nature, that is necessary to comply with applicable laws or to qualify for favorable tax treatment, that is to the vesting, termination or early termination provisions (provided that the amendment does not entail an extension beyond the expiry period of the options), that adds or modifies a cashless exercise feature that provides for a full deduction of the number of Class A Shares from the Option Plan reserve, and to suspend or terminate an Option Plan. No amendments to the Option Plans were made in 2024.
 Other Features of the Option Plans
 BAM does not provide any financial assistance to plan participants to facilitate the purchase of Class A Shares issued pursuant to the exercise of options under the Option Plans. Options granted under the Option Plans may be assigned by the plan participant to (i) his or her spouse, descendants or any other immediate family member; or (ii) a trust, the beneficiaries of which are one or more of the plan participant and the participant's spouse, descendants or immediate family members; or (iii) a corporation or limited liability company controlled by the plan participant or by one or more of the participant and the participant's spouse, and/or the immediate family members, the shares or interests of which are held directly or indirectly by the plan participant, participant's spouse and/or immediate family members; or (iv) such other transferees for estate planning purposes as may be permitted by the Board in its discretion.
 The Board, on the recommendation of the GNCC, approves all option awards. The GNCC recommends the long-term incentive award for the CEO. All other option awards are recommended by the CEO to the GNCC.
 BAM has established a number of policies related to its long-term share ownership plans, including option exercise hold periods, to reinforce the importance of equity ownership by its senior executives over the longer term. See also "Key Policies and Practices to Support Alignment" beginning on page 217 of this report.
 The Escrowed Stock Plan
 The Escrowed Stock Plan was approved by the BN Board on September 23, 2022 and by holders of Class A Shares of BN at the Special Meeting of Shareholders held on November 9, 2022. The Escrowed Stock Plan governs the award of Escrowed Shares of one

 or more Escrowed Company to executives or other individuals designated by the Board. Each Escrowed Company is capitalized with common shares and preferred shares issued to BAM and BN in exchange for shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC, Class A Shares or cash proceeds. Each Escrowed Company may use its cash resources to directly or indirectly purchase Class A Shares in the open market. Participants are either awarded Escrowed Shares or provided an election to contribute Class A Shares or previously awarded Escrowed Shares as consideration for the Escrowed Shares. Dividends paid to each Escrowed Company on the shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC or the Class A Shares acquired by the Escrowed Company will be used to pay dividends on the preferred shares which are held by BAM and BN. If a participant elects to contribute Class A Shares as consideration, dividends paid to the Escrowed Company on the contributed Class A Shares will be paid on the common shares held by the participants.
 Except as otherwise determined by the Board, 20% of Escrowed Shares will vest on the first anniversary of the granting of such shares, with an additional 20% vesting on each subsequent anniversary, up to and including the fifth anniversary of the grant of the Escrowed Shares.
 On date(s) determined by the holders of the Escrowed Shares no later than 10 years after the initial grant, the vested Escrowed Shares will be acquired by BAM in exchange for the issuance of Class A Shares from treasury, where the value of the Class A Shares being issued is equal to the value of the Escrowed Shares being acquired. The value of the Escrowed Shares will be equal to the increase in value of the Class A Shares and shares of Brookfield Asset Management ULC held by the Escrowed Company since the grant date of the Escrowed Shares, as applicable, based on the volume-weighted average price of a Class A Share on the NYSE on the date of the exchange. Participants are not permitted to exchange Escrowed Shares during a restricted trading period, except with the consent of the Board. Once all participants of an Escrowed Company have elected to exchange their Escrowed Shares, the Escrowed Company will be wound up or merged and BAM will (i) cancel at least that number of Class A Shares that is equivalent to the number of Class A Shares that have been issued to holders of the Escrowed Shares of the Escrowed Company on exchanges and/or (ii) increase its interest in BAM ULC by a proportionate amount, such that the economic dilutive effect of the issuance of Class A Shares is wholly offset.
 A maximum of 11,000,000 Class A Shares may be issued under the Escrowed Stock Plan, representing 2.48% and 0.67% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively, reflecting the increase in BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares after giving effect to the 2025 Arrangement. When Class A Shares are issued in exchange for Escrowed Shares, the number of Class A Shares remaining for future issuance under the Escrowed Stock Plan will be reduced. On the wind-up or merger of an Escrowed Company, the number of Class A Shares held by one or more Escrowed Companies are cancelled in respect of Class A Shares issued by BAM in exchange for Escrowed Shares and are added back to the number of Class A Shares available for future issuance. The combined effect on wind-up or merger of an Escrowed Company is that the economic effect of the Class A Share issuance is wholly offset. 112,228 Class A Shares have been issued (representing 0.03% and 0.01% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively) and 22,738 Class A Shares have been cancelled under the Escrowed Stock Plan. As at December 31, 2024, 10,910,510 Class A Shares are available for future issuance, representing approximately 2.46% and 0.67% of BAM's issued and outstanding Class A Shares as at December 31, 2024 and March 7, 2025, respectively.
 Eligibility for participation in the Escrowed Stock Plan is restricted to designated executives of BAM and its affiliates or any other persons designated by the Board. The number of Escrowed Shares to be granted to each participant is determined at the discretion of the Board, on the recommendation of the GNCC. The GNCC recommends the award of Escrowed Shares for the CEO. All other awards of Escrowed Shares are recommended by the CEO to the GNCC. The number of Class A Shares issuable to insiders at any time, or issued in any one year to insiders, under any of BAM's security-based compensation arrangements cannot exceed in either case 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of this class; and no more than 5% of the issued and outstanding shares may be issued under these arrangements to any one person. Aside from transfers to BAM (in the case of termination of employment, described in the table under "Termination and Change of Control Provisions" on page 218 of this report or for personal tax planning purposes, transfers of Escrowed Shares are not permitted. No incremental entitlements are triggered by a change in control of BAM under the Escrowed Stock Plan.
 The number of Escrowed Shares granted under the Escrowed Stock Plan annually, expressed as a percentage of the weighted average number of Class A Shares outstanding in the year, was nil in 2022, 0.15% in 2023, and 0.29% in 2024. See also "Dilution of Class A Shares" on page 228 of this report for information on the rate of Class A Share issuances under the Escrowed Stock Plan.
 The Escrowed Stock Plan also provides that each person that is an officer, employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates shall, for so long as such person remains an officer, employee or consultant of BN or any of its affiliates, be permitted to hold and exchange his or her Escrowed Shares in accordance with their terms as though such person was an officer, employee or consultant, as applicable, of BAM or any of its affiliates.
 Procedure for Amending Escrowed Stock Plan
 The Escrowed Stock Plan contains an amending provision setting out the types of amendments which can be approved by the Board without shareholder approval and those which require shareholder approval. Shareholder approval is required for any amendment that increases the number of Class A Shares issuable under the Escrowed Stock Plan, expands insider participation, expands participation

 to include non-employee directors of BAM, any amendment to the amendment provisions or other amendments required by law to be approved by shareholders. Shareholder approval is not required for any amendment to the Escrowed Stock Plan that is of a housekeeping or administrative nature, that is necessary to comply with applicable laws or to qualify for favorable tax treatment, that is to vesting provisions, that is to the termination or early termination provisions (provided that the amendment does not entail an extension beyond the tenth anniversary of the award date for any particular Escrowed Company), and to suspend or terminate the Escrowed Stock Plan.

 Equity Ownership of Directors
 Director Share and DSU Ownership Requirements
 The Board believes that its directors can better represent BAM's shareholders if they have an alignment of economic interest. Accordingly, directors are required to hold Class A Shares, DSUs and/or Restricted Shares of BAM having a value of at least two times their aggregate annual retainer (the "Director Share Ownership Guidelines"). This minimum ownership requirement is currently $500,000 for non-management directors. A director must achieve this minimum ownership requirement within six years of joining the Board.
 All independent directors are required to receive at least 33.3% of their Annual Retainer in DSUs (see "Long-Term Share Ownership Plans" on pages 215 to 217 of this report). Subject to these requirements, all non-management directors have the option of electing to receive their Annual Retainer in DSUs or cash.
 Anti-Hedging Policy
 In order to maintain the alignment of interests between BAM and its directors, BAM generally prohibits all directors, including management and affiliated directors, from using derivatives or other financial instruments to retain legal ownership of their shares or share units in BAM while reducing their exposure to changes in BAM's share price. Moreover, a director may not hold a short position in any security of BAM or its affiliates, either by way of a short sale or by utilizing derivatives. This allows shareholders to determine a director's true economic exposure to BAM's equity. Under limited circumstances, a director may be permitted to enter into a transaction that has the effect of hedging the economic value of any direct or indirect interests held by the such director, but only to the extent that the transaction (i) is executed and disclosed in full compliance with all applicable rules and regulations; (ii) has been approved by the CEO, President or the CFO and, if appropriate, the GNCC; and (iii) is in respect of interests directly or indirectly held by such director in excess of the interests that such director is required to hold under the Director Share Ownership Guidelines. To date, no director has hedged the economic value of their direct or indirect interests in BAM.

 ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDERS
 All of the Class B Shares are held by the BAM Partnership.
 The table below sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A Shares as at March 7, 2025 by:
 • each person known to us to beneficially own 5% of Class A Shares based on our review of filings with the SEC,
 • each of our directors and named executive officers,
 • all of our directors and executive officers as a group.
 The percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 1,637,295,707 Class A Shares issued and outstanding as at March 7, 2025. The amounts and percentage of Class A Shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares "voting power", which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such security, or "investment power", which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such security. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed a beneficial owner of securities as to which he has no economic interest.

 ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
 The following description is a summary of the material terms of the agreements described below, and does not contain all of the information that you may be relevant to you. For additional information, you should read the copies of such agreements, all of which have been previously filed with the SEC or incorporated by reference as exhibits to this report.
 Relationship Agreement
 BN, BAM and the Asset Management Company entered into an agreement to govern aspects of their relationship following the 2022 Arrangement (the "Relationship Agreement"). Under the Relationship Agreement, BN, directly or through its subsidiaries (excluding our asset management business) or BWS, has the right (but not the obligation) to participate up to 25% in each new sponsored fund or other entity of our asset management business. Any commitment of our asset management business to such sponsored fund is separate from the up to 25% allocation of BN. For the BN's perpetual affiliates, existing fee arrangements continue to apply. For any capital committed by BN or a subsidiary (other than a perpetual affiliate) or BWS, a fee may be paid as agreed between the relevant party and our asset management business; in other cases, particularly where such capital is of strategic value to supporting our asset management business' activities, no fee may apply.
 BN has no obligation to provide backstops or other guarantees relating to new investments or acquisitions, or to commit capital on a transitional basis while other investors are being sourced, but any arrangements or understandings existing at the time of completion of the 2022 Arrangement have been continued. Moreover, if BN (i) makes transitory investments, it is generally entitled to receive the same cost of carry for such investment as the relevant fund of our asset management business is entitled to under its fund documents (typically 8%) or (ii) provides backstops or guarantees, it is entitled to receive stand-by / commitment fees at market rates, in each case, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. In connection with other arrangements, BN is entitled to receive such other compensation as otherwise may be mutually agreed between the parties.
 BAM and the Asset Management Company provide services to BN's perpetual affiliates – BEP, BIP, BBU and BPY. Our asset management business includes the service providers to the perpetual affiliates (collectively with their affiliates, the "Service Providers") and, in the case of BEP and BIP, has acquired the subsidiary of BN that is entitled to receive incentive distributions. Our asset management business, the other Service Providers and their respective affiliates remain and are bound by the terms of the agreements relating to the governance and management of the perpetual affiliates, being relationship agreements (the "Affiliate Relationship Agreements") and the master services agreements ("Master Services Agreements").
 BN retains all of the ownership interests in the perpetual affiliates. The Asset Management Company is entitled to receive the incentive distributions (if any) paid. In addition, BAM and the Asset Management Company agree with BN that they perform (or cause the Service Providers to perform) all obligations that the Service Providers have under the applicable Master Services Agreements and Affiliate Relationship Agreements. The base management fee is earned by the Service Providers and the parties agree that these agreements cannot be terminated without BN's consent.
 From a management perspective, Bruce Flatt, BN's CEO, is also the CEO of BAM and allocates his time between the two companies. In addition to other senior management personnel of BAM or the Asset Management Company, the CEO of BAM and BAM's business group CEOs, who are currently Messrs. Kingston, Ranjan, Pollock and Teskey, serve on the investment committees suitable to their business group. Additionally, BN's CEO and another senior management nominee from BN serve on the investment committees for each of our strategies.
 BN is entitled to receive 33.3% of the carried interest on new sponsored funds of our asset management business (which includes more recently raised funds such as BIF V, BGTF I, BGTF II, BCP VI, BSREP IV and BSREP V) and similar distributions in open-end funds (such as Brookfield Super-Core Infrastructure Partners and Brookfield Premier Real Estate Partners) and retains 100% of the carried interest earned on mature funds (including, for example, BSREP I and BSREP II). BN and the Asset Management Company are responsible for clawback obligations in relation to carried interest or similar distributions in the same proportion as their entitlements.
 The Asset Management Company has a pre-emptive right over acquisition opportunities presented to BN that relate to businesses whose revenues are predominantly derived from asset management activities, but BN is not otherwise subject to restrictions in its pursuit of any other types of acquisitions or transactions.
 Our asset management business continues to be supported by Brookfield's operating capabilities, including its approximately 250,000 operating employees, on commercial terms that are in accordance with agreed rates (wherever in place) or otherwise on terms consistent with protocols and past practice. In addition, the parties implement secondment and other initiatives among them, their subsidiaries and their portfolio companies that are designed to develop employees and allocate resources effectively, all on terms consistent with protocols and past practice.
 Customary office sharing arrangements have been entered into among BN, BAM and other affiliates with our asset management

 business to share physical office space, in line with BN's existing affiliate transaction protocols and subject to agreement on corporate cost allocation.
 For so long as BAM is required to provide financial information related to our asset management business to its shareholders, BAM's Audit Committee has the right to engage directly with the external and internal auditors of our asset management business and to be involved in the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the Asset Management Company. Each of BN and BAM also has the right to request access to information, in its capacity as a shareholder, including to present to its board of directors or board committees or for the preparation of its financial statements. In addition, BAM's Governance, Nominating and Compensation Committee is permitted to oversee the review and setting of the compensation policies and practices of our asset management business.
 BN is indemnified for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including legal fees) arising in connection with the business and activities in respect of or arising from any of the Affiliate Relationship Agreements or the Master Services Agreements, to the extent that the claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses (including legal fees) are determined to have resulted from the bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of BAM or our asset management business, respectively, or in the case of a criminal matter, action that the person knew to have been unlawful. The maximum amount of the aggregate liability of BAM / the Asset Management Company, or any of their affiliates, or of any director, officer, employee, contractor, agent, advisor, member, partner, shareholder or other representative of BAM / the Asset Management Company, under this indemnity is equal to the amounts previously paid in the two most recent calendar years by the service recipients pursuant to the applicable Master Services Agreement.
 The Relationship Agreement continues in perpetuity and is only terminable with the mutual consent of BN and BAM.
 Incentive Distributions
 Our asset management business is entitled to performance or incentive distributions in respect of some of the perpetual affiliates. The aggregate incentive distributions from the perpetual affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $424 million. To the extent that a perpetual affiliate or one of its related entities pays to BN (including our asset management business) any comparable performance or incentive distribution, the amount of any future incentive distributions payable by the perpetual affiliate is reduced in an equitable manner to avoid duplication of distributions.
 Sharing of Carried Interest and Other Distributions
 Our revenues consist of contractual base management fees, transaction and advisory fees, and performance income or carried interest and similar distributions. BAM's returns are earned from its interest in our asset management business.
 For new and more recent funds and open-end funds, our asset management business receives 66.7% of the gross carried interest or similar distributions generated by our managed assets (a portion of which is used by our asset management business to cover management compensation and other costs), with the remainder being received by BN. BN is entitled to receive similar interests in future funds pursuant to the terms of the Relationship Agreement, regardless of participation. BN and our asset management business are responsible for clawback obligations in relation to carried interest or similar distributions in the same proportions noted above. This economic interest does not entitle BN to any governance rights or direct influence over these funds except as described below or as otherwise described in the Relationship Agreement.
 For mature funds that have already been largely deployed, BN retains the right to receive 100% of the gross carried interest distributions received by our asset management business in respect of the funds, as well as, for certain funds, any distributions received in respect of BN's limited partner interest, which are also contributed into our asset management business. BN receives these amounts, as well as its 33.3% share of similar distributions on certain open-end funds, through the payment of dividends, as and when declared by the board of directors of subsidiaries of our asset management business, on minority investments (the "Tracking Shares") that BN owns in the subsidiaries. These subsidiaries pay dividends to BN on the Tracking Shares in an amount equal to the distributions received from the tracked carried interest (or, in the case of certain open-end funds, 33.3% of the similar distributions received). These Tracking Shares are entitled to vote, together with the common shares owned indirectly by our asset management business, in respect of the applicable subsidiary of our asset management business. On a liquidation or redemption of the applicable subsidiary, the holder of the Tracking Shares is entitled to receive a preferred amount equal to the fair market value of the tracked distributions. To the extent that any employees of BAM or our asset management business are entitled to receive any carried interest from the older funds, BAM either distributes such carried interest directly to these employees or reimburses their employing entities for a matching amount.
 Asset Management Services Agreement
 BAM provides the services of its employees to our asset management business on a cost recovery basis under a perpetual agreement between BAM and the Asset Management Company (the "Asset Management Services Agreement"). The services provided to our asset management business by these individuals include investment, asset management services, fundraising, investor relations services and other services. The Asset Management Company pays BAM for the services of these individuals on a cost recovery basis

 such that neither party receives financial gain nor suffers financial loss. Other than Mr. Flatt, BAM's employees/executives spend all their time discharging their duties as officers and employees of BAM and towards responsibilities related to our asset management business, in accordance with the Asset Management Services Agreement.
 BAM awards options or other long-term incentive awards to its employees. Further, as may be agreed with the Asset Management Company from time to time, BAM may award options or other long-term incentive awards to employees of our asset management business. Our asset management business compensates BAM for the costs associated with these awards.
 Transitional Services Agreement
 BN, BAM and the Asset Management Company have entered into an agreement (the "Transitional Services Agreement") in which (i) our asset management business agrees to provide BN and BAM, on a transitional basis, certain services to support day-to-day corporate activities (including services relating to finance, treasury, accounting, legal and regulatory, marketing, communications, human resource, internal audit and information technology) and (ii) BN provides, on a transitional basis, certain services to BAM and the Asset Management Company to facilitate the orderly transition of our asset management business (the services, collectively, being "Transitional Services"). The Transitional Services are provided, at cost, for a period of three years after the effective date of the 2022 Arrangement, unless extended by mutual agreement.
 Our asset management business also provides to BN, as requested from time to time and on a cost recovery basis, services of its investment personnel to assist in acquisitions or other transactions undertaken by BN.
 Trust Agreement
 BAM, the BAM Partnership and Computershare Trust Company of Canada entered into the Trust Agreement to provide, among other things, that the BAM Partnership will not sell any Class B Shares, directly or indirectly, pursuant to a takeover bid at a price per share in excess of 115% of the market price of the Class A Shares or as part of a transaction involving purchases made from more than five persons or companies in the aggregate, unless a concurrent offer is made to all holders of Class A Shares. The Trust Agreement also provides that the concurrent offer must be: (i) for the same percentage of Class A Shares as the percentage of Class B Shares offered to be purchased from the BAM Partnership; (ii) at a price per share at least as high as the highest price per share paid pursuant to the takeover bid for the Class B Shares; and (iii) on the same terms in all material respects as the offer for the Class B Shares.
 These provisions in the Trust Agreement also apply to any transaction that would be deemed an indirect offer for the Class B Shares under applicable takeover bid legislation in Canada. Additionally, the BAM Partnership agrees to prevent any person or company from carrying out a direct or indirect sale of Class B Shares in contravention of the Trust Agreement.
 BAM-Asset Management Company Credit Facility
 BAM entered into a credit agreement with the Asset Management Company pursuant to which the Asset Management Company is providing a five-year revolving $500 million credit facility to BAM (the "BAM Credit Facility"). The BAM Credit Facility is available in U.S. and Canadian dollars, where U.S. dollar borrowings are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 165 basis points, and Canadian Dollar borrowings are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average ("CORRA") plus a margin of 165 basis points. In addition, the BAM Credit Facility contemplates deposit arrangements pursuant to which BAM would, with the consent of the Asset Management Company, deposit funds on a demand basis to the borrower's account at a reduced rate of interest. There were approximately $4 million in net draws on the BAM Credit Facility during the 12-months ended December 31, 2024. Since the BAM Credit Facility was entered into, the largest amount outstanding was $259 million. As at December 31, 2024, approximately $219 million was outstanding under the BAM Credit Facility.
 Asset Management Company-BN Credit Facility
 The Asset Management Company has a $300 million revolving credit facility established on November 8, 2022, with BN as lender. The facility is available in U.S. and Canadian dollars, where U.S. dollar borrowings are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 165 basis points, while Canadian Dollar borrowings are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or CORRA plus a margin of 165 basis points. This liquidity is readily available for use without any material tax consequences and can be deployed to support our asset management business in funding strategic transactions as well as seeding new investment products. Since this facility was entered into, the largest amount outstanding was $202 million. As at December 31, 2024 the Asset Management Company had fully repaid this credit facility.
 External Credit Facility
 The Asset Management Company established a $750 million five-year revolving credit facility on August 29, 2024 through bilateral agreements with a group of lenders. The facility is available in U.S. and Canadian dollars, where U.S. dollar draws are subject to the U.S. Base Rate or SOFR plus a margin of 110 basis points, while Canadian dollar draws are subject to the Canadian Prime Rate or CORRA plus a margin of 110 basis points. As at December 31, 2024, the Company has not made any draws on the $750 million facility.

 Deposit Arrangement
 Our asset management business has $404 million of cash available to fund future growth opportunities, of which, as at December 21, 2024, $132 million is on deposit with BN until it is deployed by our asset management business.
 Tax Matters Agreement
 In connection with the 2022 Arrangement, BN, BAM and the Asset Management Company entered into the tax matters agreement (the "Tax Matters Agreement") that governs each parties' respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to allocation of tax liabilities, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the payment of taxes, the control of tax contests, and certain other matters regarding taxes.
 Covenants
 The Tax Matters Agreement contains certain customary covenants with respect to the filing of tax returns, payment of taxes, cooperation, assistance, document retention and certain other administration and procedural matters regarding taxes. In general, the Tax Matters Agreement provides that the party that is responsible for filing and making any tax payments under applicable law generally shall be the party primarily responsible for preparing and filing such tax returns. The Tax Matters Agreement also assigns responsibilities for administrative tax matters, such retention of records and the control and conduct of tax audits, examinations or other similar proceedings. The party responsible for preparing and filing a given tax return generally has authority to control tax contests related to any such tax return, subject to certain notice, assistance and cooperation provisions to the extent the resolution of such tax contest has the potential of impacting another party's tax liability.
 The Tax Matters Agreement also contains certain covenants that, for the period ending December 9, 2024, may prohibit, except in specific circumstances, the parties from taking or failing to take certain actions that could cause the preliminary transactions taken to reorganize the business of BN undertaken to facilitate the 2022 Arrangement, the 2022 Arrangement or any transaction contemplated by the arrangement agreement dated September 23, 2022 among BN, BAM, the Asset Management Company and 2451634 Alberta Inc. entered into in connection with the 2022 Arrangement, to be taxed in a manner that is inconsistent with the manner provided for in the U.S. and Canadian tax opinions delivered in connection with the 2022 Arrangement. The foregoing restrictions may limit for a period of time BN's, BAM's and the entities conducting the asset management business' ability to pursue certain strategic transactions or other transactions; however, are designed to preserve the intended U.S. and Canadian federal income tax treatment of the 2022 Arrangement.
 Indemnification
 Pursuant to the Tax Matters Agreement, the parties each agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other parties and their representatives against any losses suffered or incurred by the others as a result of or in connection with a breach of any covenant made by the indemnifying party under the Tax Matters Agreement.
 Trademark Sublicense Agreement
 BAM has entered into an agreement with BN pursuant to which BAM has obtained a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use the name "Brookfield" and the "Brookfield" logo (the "Trademark Sublicense Agreement"). Other than under this limited license, BAM does not have a legal right to the "Brookfield" name or the "Brookfield" logo. Our asset management business is also entitled to use the "Brookfield" name and the "Brookfield" logo under a similar license.
 BN may terminate the Trademark Sublicense Agreement upon 30 days' prior written notice of termination if any of the following occurs:
 • the termination of the Relationship Agreement or the Voting Agreement;
 • the licensee defaults in the performance of any material term, condition or agreement contained in the agreement and the default continues for a period of 30 days after written notice of the breach is given to the licensee;
 • the licensee assigns, sublicenses, pledges, mortgages or otherwise encumbers the intellectual property rights granted to it pursuant to the licensing agreement;
 • certain events relating to a bankruptcy or insolvency of the licensee; or
 • BN ceases to own at least 25% of the common shares of our asset management business.

 Arrangement Agreement
 On October 31, 2024, BAM and BN entered into an arrangement agreement (the "Arrangement Agreement") to provide for the terms of the 2025 Arrangement and certain customary covenants.
 Covenants Regarding the Arrangement
 The Arrangement Agreement contains certain customary covenants of the parties that they will, subject to the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, (i) use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to implement the 2025 Arrangement, (ii) cooperate with and assist each other in dealing with transitional and other matters relating to or arising from the 2025 Arrangement or the Arrangement Agreement, and (iii) satisfy the conditions precedent to the completion of the 2025 Arrangement. BAM has also agreed to conduct its business in the ordinary course, consistent with past practice, from the date of the Arrangement Agreement until the 2025 Arrangement is completed.
 Completion of the 2025 Arrangement is subject to certain customary conditions precedent, including: (i) approval of the resolution approving the 2025 Arrangement by the shareholders of BAM; (ii) granting of exemptive relief or the approval of the Arrangement by shareholders of BN; (iii) obtaining the Interim Order and the Final Order; (iv) NYSE and TSX approval of the additional listing of the Class A Shares to be issued to BN under the 2025 Arrangement; and (v) there having not occurred a material adverse effect in respect of the Asset Management Company. On November 11, 2024, the TSX provided its conditional approval of the issuance of Class A Shares to BN pursuant to the 2025 Arrangement. The conditions precedent in the Arrangement Agreement for each of BAM and BN may be waived, in whole or in part, in BAM's or BN's respective sole discretion. Certain conditions precedent to the completion of the 2025 Arrangement in the Arrangement Agreement will be deemed to be satisfied, waived or released upon on the 2025 Plan of Arrangement becoming effective.
 Amendments
 The Arrangement Agreement provides that, subject to the provisions of the interim order from the Supreme Court of British Columbia in respect of the 2025 Arrangement, the 2025 Plan of Arrangement and applicable law, at any time and from time to time before the Effective Time of the 2025 Arrangement, the Arrangement Agreement and the 2025 Plan of Arrangement may be amended, modified or supplemented by written agreement of BAM and BN, without further notice to or authorization on the part of the shareholders of BAM.
 Termination
 The Arrangement Agreement may be terminated at any time before the implementation of the 2025 Arrangement (i) by mutual written agreement of BAM and BN; or (ii) by either BAM or BN if the implementation of the 2025 Arrangement has not occurred by March 31, 2025.

 Tax Fees. Tax fees are principally for assistance in tax return preparation and tax advisory services.
