Item 4. 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 Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports filed or submitted by us under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurances of achieving the desired control objectives.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. Based upon that evaluation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of September 30, 2021, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

As discussed in Note 3 of our financial statements included elsewhere in this report, we acquired Global Atlantic on February 1, 2021. We are in the process of evaluating the internal controls of Global Atlantic. However, as permitted by related SEC staff interpretive guidance for newly acquired businesses, the internal control over financial reporting of Global Atlantic was excluded from the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2021. In the aggregate, Global Atlantic represented approximately 60% of our total consolidated assets and approximately 35% of our total consolidated revenues as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. As noted above, we acquired Global Atlantic on February 1, 2021. We are in the process of reviewing the internal control structure of Global Atlantic and, if necessary, will make appropriate changes as we continue to integrate Global Atlantic into our overall internal control over financial reporting process.
