Prolonged periods of strong relative investment performance and/or strong investor inflows has resulted [removed: in] [added: in,] and may result [removed: in] [added: in,] capacity constraints within certain strategies, which can lead to, among other things, the closure of those strategies to new investors.
Our managed investment portfolios may have significant investments in markets that are subject to risk of loss from political or diplomatic developments, government policies, [added: wars, conflicts or] civil [removed: unrest,] [added: unrest (such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the threat that Russia’s military aggression may expand beyond Ukraine, and the recent conflicts in the Middle East), trade wars or tariffs,] currency fluctuations, illiquidity and capital controls, and changes in legislation related to ownership limitations.

New investment strategies, investment vehicles, distribution channels, advancement in technology and digital wealth and distribution [removed: tools] [added: tools,] or other evolutions of or additions to our business may increase the risk that our existing systems may not be adequate to control the risks introduced by such changes.
[removed: In addition, our information systems and technology platforms might not be able to accommodate our] business operations, and the cost of maintaining [added: or upgrading] such systems might increase from its current level.
If any of these [removed: factors] [added: scenarios] were to [removed: arise] [added: arise,] it could disrupt our operations, increase our expenses or result in financial exposure, regulatory [removed: inquiry] [added: inquiry, litigation] or reputational damage.
Our business model is dependent on our personnel, who as part of their roles support [added: disclosure and] internal controls, [added: compliance,] supervision, technology and training to provide comfort that our activities do not violate applicable guidelines, rules and regulations or adversely affect our clients, counterparties or us.
Our personnel and the personnel of others involved in our business may make errors or engage in fraudulent or malicious activities, that are not always immediately [removed: detected,] [added: detected or that cannot be easily remediated,] which may disrupt our operations, cause losses, lead to regulatory fines or sanctions, litigation, or otherwise damage our reputation.
Actual or perceived failure to adequately address the [removed: environmental, social, and governance ("ESG")] [added: ESG] expectations, or failure to manage conflicts of [removed: interests,] [added: interests] of our various stakeholders could lead to a tarnished reputation and loss of client assets or harm our access to capital.
[added: Any damage to our brand] could impede our ability to attract and retain clients and key personnel, and reduce the amount of assets under our management, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and net income.
[removed: A] [added: While we maintain various compliance procedures and other controls to seek to prevent, detect and correct such errors, any] failure to comply with these guidelines or requirements could result in damage to our reputation or in our clients seeking to recover losses, withdrawing their assets or terminating their contracts.
Any such [removed: effects] [added: events] could cause our revenues and profitability to [removed: decline.][added: decline, and significant errors for which we are]
[removed: Significant errors for which we are] responsible could [added: have a material adverse] impact [added: on] our reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
- variations in the level of total compensation expense due to changes in, among other things, bonuses, stock-based awards, employee benefit costs due to regulatory or plan design changes, [added: labor market conditions,] our employee count and mix, competitive factors, market performance, and inflation;
- changes in the costs incurred for third-party service providers that perform certain administrative and operating [removed: services;][added: services, including as a result of changes in market conditions, labor costs and inflation;]
- disruptions of [added: infrastructure and] third-party services such as communications, power, cloud services, transfer agent, investment management, trading, and accounting systems.
[removed: Amendments to] [added: Changes in] tax laws [added: or exposure to additional tax liabilities] may impact [added: our financial position or] the marketability of the products and services we offer our [removed: clients or our financial position.][added: clients.]
We are subject to income taxes as well as non-income-based [removed: taxes,] [added: taxes and complex tax regimes] in both the United States and various foreign [removed: jurisdictions.][added: jurisdictions in which we operate.]
We cannot predict future changes in the tax regulations to which we are subject, and [removed: these regulations] [added: any such changes] could have a material impact on our tax liability or result in increased costs of our tax compliance efforts.
Additionally, changes in the status of tax deferred investment options, including retirement plans, tax-free municipal bonds, the capital gains and corporate dividend tax rates, and other individual and corporate tax rates could cause [removed: investors to view certain investment products less favorably and reduce investor demand for products and services we offer, which could have an adverse effect on our assets under management and revenues.]
Examinations and audits by tax authorities could result in additional tax payments for prior [removed: periods.][added: periods, which could impact our financial results.]
We have a process to evaluate whether to record tax liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional income taxes will be [removed: due.][added: due, and adjust these liabilities in light of changing facts and circumstances.]
Due to the complexity of some of these uncertainties, however, the ultimate resolution may result in a payment that is materially different from our [removed: estimates.][added: estimates and impact our financial results.]
[removed: These contracted third-party] [added: Third-party financial] intermediaries [added: we contract with] generally offer their clients various investment products in addition to, and in competition with, our investment products, and have no contractual obligation to encourage investment in our products.
These professionals and consultants [removed: can] [added: may] favor a competing investment product [removed: as better meeting their particular clients' needs.][added: for reasons we cannot control.]
Moreover, we can provide no assurance that we will continue to have access to the third-party financial intermediaries that currently distribute our [removed: products,] [added: products on favorable terms] or [added: at all, or] that we will continue to have the opportunity to offer all or some of our existing products through them.
Natural disasters and other unpredictable events could adversely affect our [removed: operations.][added: operations and financial results.]
[removed: Armed] [added: The occurrence of extreme events, such as armed] conflicts, [removed: trade wars, tariffs or sanctions,] terrorist attacks, [removed: cyberattacks, power] [added: epidemic, pandemic or disease outbreaks (such as the Covid-19 pandemic), infrastructure] failures, [removed: epidemics] [added: natural disasters] or [removed: pandemics, climate change, increased severity of] [added: extreme] weather [removed: events,] [added: events (which may increase in intensity] or [removed: natural disasters] [added: frequency as a result of climate change),] and other events outside of our control could adversely affect our revenues, expenses, and net income by:
A significant portion of our business operations are concentrated in the Baltimore, Maryland region; Colorado Springs, Colorado; [added: Forth Worth, Texas; New York City, New York;] and in London, England.
In addition, we maintain offices with associates in many other global locations, including Sydney, Australia; Hong Kong; Singapore; Tokyo, Japan; and [removed: Luxembourg.][added: Luxembourg, some of which are in areas that are particularly vulnerable to extreme events.]
If we lose the availability of any associates, or, if we are unable to respond adequately to such an event in a timely manner, we may be unable to [added: service our clients or] timely resume our business operations, which could lead to financial losses, a tarnished reputation and loss of clients that could result in a decrease in assets under management, lower revenues, and materially reduced net [removed: income.][added: income, particularly if our responses to such events are less adequate than those of our competitors.]
[removed: Global pandemics] [added: Pandemics, epidemics or disease outbreaks, as well as measures enacted to prevent their spread, may] create significant volatility, uncertainty and [removed: economic] disruption to the global economy and may [removed: further] impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
[removed: The] [added: For example, the] coronavirus pandemic has adversely affected global financial markets and impacted global supply chains.
[removed: Health concerns] [added: Concerns] and uncertainty regarding [removed: continued coronavirus impacts] [added: pandemics, epidemics or disease outbreaks] could lead to [removed: further and/or] increased volatility in global capital and credit markets, adversely affect our [added: operations,] key executives and other personnel, clients, investors, service providers and other vendors, suppliers, [removed: lessees,] and other third parties, and negatively impact our assets under [removed: management ("AUM"),] [added: management,] revenues, income, business and operations.
Since our revenue is based on the market value and composition of the assets under our management, the [removed: ultimate] impact [added: of such events] on global financial markets and our clients’ [added: investment] decisions [removed: related to this event] could adversely affect our revenue and operating results.
Separately from the investments we manage for our clients, we currently have a substantial investment [removed: portfolio.][added: portfolio]
While we regularly conduct assessments of [removed: such risk posed by counterparties,] [added: counterparty risks,] the risk of non-performance by such parties is subject to sudden swings in the financial and credit markets.
In addition, acquisitions and related transactions involve risks, including unanticipated problems regarding integration of investor account and investment security recordkeeping, additional or new regulatory requirements, operating facilities and technologies, and new employees; adverse effects on our earnings in the event acquired intangible assets or goodwill become impaired; [added: distracting management] and [added: other key personnel from our existing businesses; and] the existence of liabilities or contingencies not disclosed to or otherwise known by us prior to closing a transaction.
Poor performance relative to other competing products tends to result in decreased sales and increased redemptions with corresponding decreases in our revenues.
Any redemptions and other withdrawals from, or shifting among, our investment portfolios could reduce our assets under management.
These could be caused by investors reducing their investments in our portfolios in general or in the market segments in which we focus; investors taking profits from their investments; and portfolio risk characteristics, which could cause investors to move assets to other investment managers.
If our clients reduce their investments with us, and we are not able to attract new clients, our AUM, revenue and earnings could decline.
In addition, our existing information systems and technology platforms might not be able to accommodate our

- affecting the availability of infrastructure upon which our operations depend, such as road networks and electrical power grids;
in a variety of asset classes including equities, fixed income products, multi-asset products, financial instruments, real estate and alternative investments.
Investments in these products are generally made to establish a track record, meet purchase size requirements for trading blocks or demonstrate economic alignment with other investors in our funds.
Redemptions and other withdrawals from, or shifting among, client portfolios also reduce our investment income.
These changes could be caused by investors reducing their investments in client portfolios in general or in the market segments in which we focus; investors taking profits from their investments; and portfolio risk
characteristics, which could cause investors to move assets to other investment managers.
Poor performance relative to other competing products tends to result in decreased sales and increased redemptions with corresponding decreases in our revenues, which may have a material adverse effect on us.
Our financial condition and liquidity would be adversely affected by losses on our seed capital and co-investments.
We have capital held in investment products we manage in a variety of asset classes, including equities, fixed income products, multi-asset products, financial instruments, real estate and alternative investments.
Investments in these products are generally made to establish a track record, meet purchase size requirements for trading blocks or demonstrate economic alignment with other investors in our funds.
Adverse market conditions may result in the need to write down the value of these seed capital and co-investments, which may adversely affect our results of operations or liquidity.
Additionally, over the past several years the pace
In October 2023, the U.S. Department of Labor proposed a new rule updating the definition of an investment advice fiduciary under ERISA (“Retirement Security Rule”), which would apply to retirement plans and accounts that comprise a majority of our accounts.
We are monitoring the rulemaking process and the potential impact the Retirement Security Rule may have on our business.
Future changes to laws
For example, the EU’s Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation imposes mandatory ESG disclosure obligations on asset managers and other financial markets participants, requiring all covered firms to disclose how financial products integrate sustainability risks in the investment process, including whether they consider adverse sustainability impacts, and sustainability-related information for products promoting sustainable objectives.
The availability of such disclosures may impact the investment decisions of European investors.
Furthermore, federal regulators, as well as state legislatures and regulators in the U.S. have proposed or adopted laws and regulations to pursue similar initiatives, such as the SEC’s proposed climate disclosure rules.
Conversely, some U.S. states have adopted or proposed legislation or otherwise have taken official positions restricting or prohibiting state government entities from doing certain business with entities they believe are discriminating against particular industries or considering ESG factors in their investment processes and proxy voting.
As jurisdictions globally continue to develop legal frameworks on ESG and sustainability regulations, our industry and business may face increasingly fragmented regulatory frameworks, which may result in complex and potentially conflicting compliance obligations and legal and regulatory uncertainty.

changes.
Losses of assets from our client investors would decrease our revenues and net income, possibly materially.
suspension of our employees, fines, penalties, sanctions, injunctive relief, exclusion from certain markets, or temporary or permanent loss of licenses or registrations necessary to conduct our business.
For example, the EU’s recent action plan on financing sustainable growth includes initiatives to integrate ESG into the financial system.
Furthermore, the SEC and other regulators in the U.S. have proposed rules to pursue similar initiatives, including additional disclosure obligations that would apply to our business operations, our employee and board diversity and other ESG-related matters.
They may also result in changes to our product or service offerings.
We carry insurance in amounts and under terms that we believe are appropriate.

The investment management industry has been evolving and industry participants are facing several challenging trends including passive investments taking market share from traditional active strategies; continued downward fee pressure; demand for new investment vehicles to meet client needs; and an ever-changing regulatory landscape.
Major U.S. stock indexes produced strong gains in 2023.
Due in part to generally favorable corporate earnings, a resilient economy, and increased investor interest in artificial intelligence, equities were led by a relatively small group of high-growth, technology-oriented mega-cap companies.
The market overcame bearish factors such as regional bank turmoil in the spring; uncertainty about Congress and President Biden agreeing to raise the debt ceiling; geopolitical tensions; and a sluggish Chinese economic recovery amid property sector distress.
Arguably the most significant factor affecting the U.S. economy and the financial markets throughout the year was rising interest rates in response to elevated inflation.
The Federal Reserve raised short-term interest rates four times through the end of July, lifting the fed funds target rate to the 5.25% to 5.50% range.
Long-term U.S. Treasury yields climbed for much of the year, peaking in October, before falling sharply in response to weaker-than-expected inflation and labor market data.
Equities rallied through year-end, as Fed officials projected at their mid-December policy meeting that there could be three quarter-point rate cuts in 2024.
Developed non-U.S. equity markets produced strong gains in U.S. dollar terms; returns to U.S. investors were lifted by a weaker dollar versus major European currencies.
In Europe, equity markets advanced broadly.
UK shares gained about 14% but lagged various markets in the European Union.
In developed Asia, equities in Japan led the region with a gain of about 21%, helped by the continuation of a highly stimulative monetary policy.
Hong Kong stocks declined nearly 15%, hurt in part by Chinese economic and property market weakness.
Emerging equity markets produced solid gains but underperformed stocks in developed markets in U.S. dollar terms.
Most markets in Latin America produced very strong returns.
In the emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa
(EMEA) region, market performance was largely positive.
In emerging Asia, several markets rose sharply, but Chinese shares tumbled more than 11%.
Global bond returns produced positive returns in U.S. dollar terms in 2023, thanks to a late-year drop in longer-term interest rates in many countries.
In the U.S., Treasury bill yields rose as the Federal Reserve lifted the fed funds target rate to the 5.25% to 5.50% range by the end of July and kept the target range steady through the end of the year.
Intermediate- and long-term U.S. Treasury yields climbed to multi-year highs by late October.
The 10-year U.S. Treasury note yield reached the 5.00% level for the first time in about 16 years.
Yields plunged in the last two months of the year, however, amid signs of disinflation, labor market softening, and expectations for Fed rate cuts in 2024.
In the U.S. investment-grade bond universe, sector performance was broadly positive.
Corporate bonds produced very strong gains.
Mortgage-backed, commercial mortgage-backed, and asset-backed securities performed in line with the broad market index.
U.S. Treasury securities trailed with milder gains.
High yield corporate bonds, which are less sensitive to interest rate movements and more sensitive to credit-related trends, strongly outperformed higher-quality bonds.
Bonds in developed non-U.S. markets produced positive returns in U.S. dollar terms, helped by a weaker dollar versus major European currencies.
In Europe, long-term government bond yields climbed as major central banks raised short-term rates for most of the year.
Long-term yields retreated with U.S. Treasury yields in the fourth quarter as inflation pressures eased and the major central banks kept short-term rates steady.
In Japan, long-term Japanese government bond (JGB) yields were fairly steady in the first half of the year but climbed from July through late October.
During that timeframe, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) increased the flexibility of its yield curve control policy, and the 10-year JGB yield approached 1.00%—its highest level in more than a decade.
Yields retreated in November and December.
Emerging markets bonds produced strong returns in dollar terms.
Bonds denominated in local currencies fared better than dollar-denominated issues, as most emerging markets currencies strengthened versus the U.S. dollar.

across the globe seeking attractive yields and risk-adjusted returns.
As of December 31, 2022, OHA had $57 billion of capital under management (which includes net asset value, portfolio value and/or unfunded capital).
Major U.S. stock indexes fell sharply in 2022, the worst year for equities since the 2008 global financial crisis.
Growth stocks significantly underperformed value stocks across all markets.
Investors shunned riskier assets in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, elevated inflation exacerbated by rising commodity prices and global supply chain disruptions, surging U.S. Treasury yields, and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s ("Federal Reserve") short-term interest rate increases starting in March.
Although many indexes finished the year above their lowest levels of 2022, the year ended with many investors concerned that ongoing Federal Reserve rate hikes would hurt corporate earnings and push the economy into a recession in 2023.
Stocks in developed non-U.S. markets declined in 2022, as elevated inflation prompted many central banks to tighten their monetary policies.
A stronger U.S. dollar versus major currencies exacerbated local losses in dollar terms.
Developed European and Asian markets fell broadly in dollar terms, though stocks in the UK, Hong Kong, and Australia held up relatively well.
Stocks in emerging markets fared worse than developed non-U.S. markets in 2022.
Emerging Asian markets were mostly lower in dollar terms, especially South Korea, Taiwan, and China.
In emerging Europe, many markets declined amid close proximity to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
However, Turkish stocks soared as the central bank reduced interest rates in the latter half of the year despite elevated inflation.
Several markets in Latin America performed well, thanks in part to elevated commodity prices for much of the year.
Global bond returns were broadly negative as bond market interest rates climbed worldwide and many central banks increased their key interest rates to fight inflation.
In the U.S., yields rose across the Treasury yield curve, with short- and intermediate-term yields rising above longer-term yields—often a signal of an approaching recession—as the Federal Reserve raised the fed funds target rate from near-zero in March to the 4.25% to 4.50% range by the end of the year.
In the U.S. taxable investment-grade universe, corporate bonds fell sharply as interest rates rose and credit spreads widened.
Treasury and mortgage-backed securities also fared poorly.
Asset-backed securities held up relatively well but still produced losses.
High yield bonds also fared poorly as credit spreads widened.
Bonds in developed non-U.S. markets declined in 2022, as interest rates in most developed countries increased amid elevated inflation, and losses to U.S. investors were exacerbated by a stronger U.S. dollar versus many other currencies.
Emerging markets bonds declined as investors were risk averse and as central banks in many emerging countries raised interest rates to fight inflation and defend weakening currencies.
Clients transferred $12.4 billion in net assets from the U.S. mutual funds primarily to collective investment trusts, of which $8.7 billion transferred into the retirement date trusts.

We derive substantially all of our net revenue from investment advisory fees that are earned pursuant to agreements with our sponsored funds and clients.
For example, fee rates are typically higher for equities and alternatives as compared to multi-asset and fixed income products.
Additionally, fees rates are typically higher for commingled vehicles including U.S. mutual funds, private investment funds and collective investment trusts as compared to separately managed accounts and subadvised funds.
These performance-based fees are recognized when performance returns exceed the stated hurdle at the end of the performance period, which can lead to an uneven recognition pattern in a given year.

We are focused on delivering global investment management excellence to help clients around the world achieve their long-term investment goals.
On December 29, 2021, we completed our acquisition of Oak Hill Advisors, L.P., a leading alternative credit manager, and other entities that had common ownership (collectively, "OHA").
We acquired 100% of the equity interests of Oak Hill Advisors, L.P., 100% of the equity interests in entities that make co-investments in certain affiliated private investment funds (the "co-investment entities") and a majority of the equity interests in entities that have interests in general partners of affiliated private investment funds and are entitled to a disproportionate allocation of income (the "carried interest entities").
The acquisition accelerates our expansion into alternative investment markets and complements our existing global platform and ongoing strategic initiatives in our core investments and distribution capabilities.
Alternative credit strategies continue to be in demand from institutional and retail investors across the globe seeking attractive yields and risk-adjusted returns.
As of December 31, 2022, OHA had $57 billion of capital under management (which includes net asset value, portfolio value and/or unfunded capital).

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.
0 rewritten, 55 added, 0 removed, 0 unchanged
New section this year
Technology is a key component of our business operations, and cybersecurity is a significant consideration for the firm.
T.
Rowe Price has a holistic firm-wide approach to risk management including material risks from cybersecurity threats.
The firm’s overall risk management activities are designed to identify, assess, report, and manage risks that could affect the firm in achieving its objectives and goals.
This risk management framework operates across our business lines and integrates business operational resiliency and technology related risks such as cybersecurity threats.
As part of the firm’s risk identification and assessment framework, key risks from cybersecurity threats specific to our environment are identified and assessed for adequacy of controls.
Management identifies risk inherent to cybersecurity threats, estimates the significance of the risks, assesses the likelihood of their occurrence, establishes acceptable risk tolerance levels, and implements appropriate measures to monitor those risks.
Action plans may be developed for identified control issues and management is responsible for addressing these issues.

Although management is responsible for the firm’s day to day cybersecurity operations, the Board of Directors oversees the firm’s cybersecurity program.
The Board does not delegate this responsibility to a committee, nor does the Board identify a cybersecurity expert to consider the firm’s activities and make recommendations or provide advice to the Board.
Instead, many of our directors have significant technology experience gained through their prior work experience and through their positions on other boards of directors, all of which provides the Board with insight and practical guidance in overseeing the firm’s technology and operations as well as our continuing investment in and development of our cybersecurity program.
Our Chief Executive Officer and President (CEO) has ultimate responsibility for developing strategy and overseeing execution to meet the firm’s objectives.
The CEO has delegated to our Chief Operating Officer (COO) oversight of this operational execution.
The COO has several leaders within the COO organization who develop and oversee the firm’s risk management, technology, and information security practices.
These executive leaders play a critical role in cybersecurity risk management and strategy, as further described below.
The firm’s Chief Risk Officer (CRO) leads the Enterprise Risk program, providing the framework and tools used by all business teams across the firm, including technology, to identify, assess, and manage risks from cybersecurity threats in coordination with the firm's Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).
The Enterprise Risk team provides guidance and support in identifying, assessing, and monitoring all aspects of risks from cybersecurity threats.
The Enterprise Risk function conducts risk assessments for technology and cybersecurity, and coordinates with Internal Audit and Firm-wide Compliance to provide risk assurance activities.
Enterprise Risk is primarily responsible for reporting risks from cybersecurity threats to executive leadership and our Enterprise Risk Management Committee (ERMC).
The ERMC supports the efforts of the CRO in providing corporate-wide oversight of our firm’s risk management efforts and provides a path for risk escalation.
This committee monitors risk management activities, including cybersecurity matters, and reports periodically and more frequently as necessary, to our Board of Directors and Audit Committee.
Cybersecurity risk management practices operate enterprise-wide, across T.
Rowe Price legal entities, including Oak Hill Advisors (OHA).
In addition, OHA has established an independent risk committee, which includes responsibilities for prompt escalation of key risks and incidents such as Cybersecurity to the T.
Rowe Price CRO.
T.
Rowe Price maintains documented Enterprise Incident Management and Reporting Policies and Procedures, outlining responsibilities and requirements for escalation of various types of incidents, including cybersecurity threats and incidents.
Our process is designed to investigate incidents efficiently, identify root cause, communicate with the affected parties as appropriate, spot trends, and recommend improvements to mitigate risk.
These procedures incorporate incident materiality determination within senior executive levels and operate firm-wide.
Global Technology and Business Unit management are also responsible for implementing internal controls to manage risks from cybersecurity threats to an appropriate level and in line with the firm’s risk appetite.
Cybersecurity risks are managed across all lines of business, requiring support and participation across all levels in the organization.
Within Global Technology, Enterprise Security is responsible for maintaining security policies, standards, and guidelines and routinely works with our Enterprise Risk, Compliance, Internal Audit, and other key technology and corporate stakeholders to establish security controls, enforce them, and monitor their adherence on an ongoing basis.
Enterprise Security also conducts regular phishing tests and manages annual employee training focused on raising awareness, highlighting the important role our employees play in protecting the firm from cybersecurity threats.
Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery programs execute regular testing across business and technology teams to demonstrate resilience.
The CISO regularly reviews the cybersecurity program and strategy with various risk committees, including the ERMC, Management Committee, and the Audit Committee.
This ensures risks from cybersecurity threats are properly managed and our enterprise-wide cybersecurity program is aligned with the business needs and defined risk tolerances or risk appetite.
The cybersecurity program includes regular assessment on the effectiveness of the firm's risk mitigation strategies.
Assessments include third-party validation to help ensure our internal controls and safeguards adhere to security and compliance standards.

Additionally, certain prior period tax-related amounts were recast to conform to current year presentation.
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07 - *Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures*.
The amendment requires annual and interim disclosures of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker by reportable segment and clarifies that single reportable segment entities are required to apply all existing segment disclosures in the guidance.
The amendment is effective for the firm on January 1, 2024 and is retrospectively applicable to all prior periods presented in its consolidated financial statements.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard, however, we expect the standard to result in additional segment footnote disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09 - *Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,* which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction.
This amendment is effective for the firm on January 1, 2025.
We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard and have not yet determined our transition approach.
This approach includes inputs that require significant management judgment, the most relevant of which include revenue growth, discount rates, and effective tax rates.

The acquisition accelerated our expansion into alternatives investment markets and complemented our existing global platform and ongoing strategic initiatives in our core investments and distribution capabilities.
OHA and its advisory affiliates provide investment advisory, asset management and other advisory services primarily to affiliated private investment funds and private accounts investing in leveraged loans, high yield bonds, structured products, private lending, distressed securities and turnaround investments.
Business Combinations
We account for business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting, whereby we recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including separately identified intangible assets, contingent liabilities, and non-controlling interests, based on the fair value estimates as of the date of the acquisition.
Any excess purchase consideration over the fair value of the identified net assets acquired is recognized as goodwill.
During the measurement period, which is not to exceed one year from the acquisition date, we may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill.
Upon the conclusion of the measurement period, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in earnings.
