PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

June 12, 2025

Proxy Summary

This summary highlights certain information contained elsewhere in our Proxy Statement. This summary does not contain all the information that you should consider, and you should carefully read the entire Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders before voting. The Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the accompanying Proxy Statement and our 2024 Annual Report to Stockholders are available at www.p10alts.com and www.proxypush.com/PX and are first being made available to stockholders commencing on or about April 28, 2025 and mailed on or about May 2, 2025.

About the Meeting

What is the date, time and place of the annual meeting?

P10, Inc.’s 2025 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting will be held on Thursday, June 12, 2025 beginning at 9:00 a.m., local time, at 299 Park Avenue, 36th Floor, New York, NY 10171.

What is the purpose of the annual meeting?

At the annual meeting, stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of meeting on the cover page of this Proxy Statement, consisting of (1) the election of Class I directors; (2) the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as P10’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025; and (3) any other matters that properly come before the meeting.

What are the voting rights of the holders of our common stock?

Each share of our Class A common stock will entitle its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by stockholders generally.

Each share of our Class B common stock will entitle its holder to ten votes until a Sunset becomes effective. After a Sunset becomes effective, each share of our Class B common stock will automatically convert into Class A common stock. The Class B Holders have approximately 86% of the combined voting power of our common stock.

A “Sunset” is triggered by any of the earlier of the following:

the Sunset Holders cease to maintain direct or indirect beneficial ownership of 10% of the outstanding shares of Class A common stock (determined assuming all outstanding shares of Class B common stock have been converted into Class A common stock);
the Sunset Holders collectively cease to maintain direct or indirect beneficial ownership of at least 25% of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock; and
upon the tenth anniversary of the effective date of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Holders of Class B common stock may elect to convert shares of Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis into Class A common stock at any time. Holders of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our stockholders for their vote or approval, except as set forth in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or as otherwise required by applicable law.

P10, Inc. entered into a controlled company agreement (the “Controlled Company Agreement”) on October 20, 2021, with principals of 210 Capital, L.L.C. and certain of their affiliates (the “210 Group”), RCP Advisors 2, LLC and RCP Advisors 3, LLC (together, "RCP Advisors") and certain of their affiliates (collectively, the “RCP Group”) and TrueBridge Capital Partners LLC and certain of its affiliates (the “TrueBridge Group”), granting each party certain board designation rights. On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Controlled Company Agreement to, among other things, remove the 210 Group and its board nomination and other rights. Under the Controlled Company Agreement, as amended, subject to certain limitations and exceptions set forth therein, (i) so long as the RCP Group and any of its permitted transferees who hold shares of common stock as of the applicable time continue to collectively hold a combined voting power of at least 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Company's initial public offering, the Company will include in its slate of nominees one (1) director designated by the RCP Group and (ii) so long as the TrueBridge Group and any of its permitted transferees who hold shares of common stock as of the applicable time continue to collectively hold a combined voting power of at least 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Company's initial public offering, the Company will include in its slate of nominees one (1) director designated by the TrueBridge Group.

Proxy Summary

 

 

 

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Only our stockholders of record at the close of business on April 14, 2025, the record date for the meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the annual meeting. If you were a stockholder of record on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares you held on that date at the meeting, or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) of the meeting. As of the record date, there were 68,646,719 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 43,461,442 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at the annual meeting. Whether or not you plan to attend the meeting, we encourage you to fill out and return the proxy card or vote by proxy over the telephone or on the Internet as instructed below to ensure your vote is counted.

A list of stockholders will be available at our headquarters at 4514 Cole Ave, Suite 500, Dallas, TX 75205 for a period of ten days prior to the annual meeting and at the annual meeting itself for examination by any stockholder.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a beneficial owner of shares held in street name?

Stockholder of Record. If (i) your shares of Class A common stock are registered directly in your name with the Company’s transfer agent, or (ii) you hold shares of Class B common stock that are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares, and the proxy materials were sent directly to you by the Company.
Beneficial Owner of Shares Held in Street Name. If your shares of Class A or Class B common stock are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, custodian or other similar organization acting as nominee (each, a “broker”), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the proxy materials were forwarded to you by that organization. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As a beneficial owner, you have the right to instruct that organization on how to vote the shares held in your account. Those instructions are contained in a “vote instruction form.”

Who can attend the meeting?

All stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. Please also note that if you hold your shares in “street name” (that is, through a broker or other nominee), you will need to bring a copy of a brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date to attend the meeting, and you will need to bring a signed proxy from your broker in order to vote your shares at the meeting.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the meeting, in person or by proxy, of the holders of common stock representing a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of stock on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct its business. As of the record date, there were 68,646,719 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 43,461,442 shares of Class B common stock outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at the annual meeting, and therefore holders of common stock representing 251,630,570 combined voting power will constitute a quorum.

What vote is required to approve each item?

The inspector of election for the annual meeting shall determine the number of shares of common stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall count and tabulate ballots and votes and determine the results thereof. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum. If less than a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock is represented at the annual meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the annual meeting from time to time without further notice.

The table below describes the vote requirements and the effect of abstentions and broker non-votes, as prescribed under our bylaws, the rules of the New York Stock Exchange and Delaware law, for the election of directors and the approval of the other items on the agenda for the annual meeting.

 

Proposal

Vote Required

Effect of Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes*

Proposal 1: Election of the three nominees to serve as Class I directors of the Company

Plurality of the votes cast.

Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election.

Proposal 2: Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2025

The affirmative vote of a majority of the combined voting power of the shares of common stock present at the meeting in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.

Abstentions will have the effect of a vote against.

___________________

* A broker non-vote occurs when a broker submits a proxy but does not vote on a proposal because it is not a “routine” item under NYSE rules and the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Broker non-votes will not be counted as “votes cast” with respect to Proposal 1. Your broker may vote without your instructions only on Proposal 2—Ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal 2025.

Proxy Summary

 

 

 

What are the Board’s recommendations?

As more fully discussed under Summary of Matters to be Voted On, our Board of Directors recommends a vote: (i) FOR the election of the three nominees to serve as Class I directors of the Company for a term of three years and (ii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the enclosed proxy, all shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation (and which have not been revoked in accordance with the procedures set forth below) will be voted: (i) FOR the election of each of the three nominees to serve as Class I directors of the Company for a term of three years; (ii) FOR the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025, and (iii) in accordance with the recommendation of our Board of Directors, on all other matters as may properly come before the Annual Meeting. In the event a stockholder specifies a different choice by means of the enclosed proxy, such shares will be voted in accordance with the specification made.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of record (that is, if your shares are registered in your own name with our transfer agent), you may vote using the enclosed proxy card. Voting instructions are provided on the proxy card contained in the proxy materials. Holders of record may vote their shares by regular mail, by phone at 1-866-983-6559, online at www.proxypush.com/PX, or in person at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a street name holder (that is, if you hold your shares through a bank, broker or other holder of record), you must vote in accordance with the voting instruction form provided by your bank, broker or other holder of record. The availability of telephone or internet voting will depend upon your bank’s, broker’s, or other holder of record’s voting process.

If you come to the Annual Meeting, you can, of course, vote in person. If you are a street name holder and wish to vote at the meeting, you must first obtain a proxy from your bank, broker or other holder of record authorizing you to vote.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. The giving of a proxy does not eliminate the right to vote in person should any stockholder giving the proxy so desire. Stockholders have an unconditional right to revoke their proxy at any time prior to the exercise of that proxy, by voting in person at the Annual Meeting, by filing a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date with our Secretary at our headquarters.

Who pays for costs relating to the proxy materials and annual meeting of stockholders?

The costs of preparing, assembling and mailing this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed Annual Report and proxy card, along with the cost of posting the proxy materials on our website, are to be borne by us. In addition to the use of mail, our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone, facsimile and other electronic means. They will receive no compensation in addition to their regular salaries. We may request banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of proxies. We may reimburse these persons for their expenses in so doing. We have retained InvestorCom, LLC to aid in the solicitation at an estimated cost of $5,000 plus reimbursable out-of-pocket expenses.

Vote Required

Each Class I director will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at the annual meeting (assuming a quorum is present). The three nominees for Class I director receiving the highest number of affirmative votes will be elected. Consequently, any shares not voted at the annual meeting, whether due to abstentions, broker non-votes or otherwise, will have no impact on the election of the directors. Shares of common stock represented by executed, but unmarked, proxy cards will be voted in favor of the election as directors of the persons named as nominees in this Proxy Statement; provided that, if you hold your shares of our common stock through a broker-dealer, bank nominee, custodian or other securities intermediary, the intermediary will not vote those shares for the election of any nominee for director unless you give the intermediary specific voting instructions on a timely basis directing the intermediary to vote for such nominee.

Each of the foregoing nominees has consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and agreed to serve as a director if elected. Our Board of Directors has no reason to believe that the listed nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve as directors if elected. However, if any nominee should be unable to serve or will not serve, then the shares represented by proxies received will be voted for another nominee selected by our Board of Directors.

Board Meetings; Corporate Governance; Committees and Membership

Independent Directors

Our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Barnes, Ms. Benford, Mr. Blewitt, Ms. Glassman, Mr. Gwilliam, and Mr. Stewart are “independent” as defined under the rules of the NYSE. In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered the relationships that Mr. Barnes, Ms. Benford, Mr. Blewitt, Ms. Glassman, Mr. Gwilliam, and Mr. Stewart have with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that the Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining their independence, including ownership interests in us and, in the case of certain of our independent directors, the transactions described in the section titled "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."

We are a “controlled company” under the rules of the NYSE by virtue of the Controlled Company Agreement, and therefore qualify for, but do not intend to rely on, an exemption from the requirement that our Board of Directors consist of a majority of independent directors, that we establish a Compensation Committee consisting solely of independent directors and that our director nominees be selected or recommended by independent directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Board annually reviews its leadership structure to evaluate whether the structure remains appropriate for the Company. Our Board does not have a policy on whether the role of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined. In October 2023, our Board determined it was in the Company’s best interest to transition the leadership of the Company and appointed Mr. Sarsfield as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer, and subsequently in June 2024, as the Company's new Chairman of the Board. Our Board may make further changes to the Company’s leadership structure in the future.

Lead Independent Director and Meetings of Independent Directors

In June 2024, the Board appointed Tracey Benford to serve as the lead independent director. As lead independent director, Ms. Benford presides over all Board meetings when the Chairman is not present and meetings of the independent directors held in executive session. The lead independent director, working with committee chairpersons, sets agendas and leads the discussion of regular meetings of the Board outside the presence of management, provides feedback regarding these meetings to the Chairman, and otherwise serves as a liaison between the independent directors and the Chairman. The lead independent director is also responsible for receiving, reviewing, and acting upon communications from stockholders or other interested parties when those interests should be addressed by a person independent of management.

In order to promote open discussion among independent directors, our Board holds executive sessions of independent directors at least quarterly. These executive sessions are chaired by a director selected by the independent directors during such sessions.

Board Qualifications & Diversity

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews, and recommends to our Board, the skills, experience, characteristics and other criteria for identifying and evaluating directors. Our Board expects directors to be open and forthright, to develop a deep understanding of the Company’s business, and to exercise sound judgment and courage in fulfilling their oversight responsibilities. Directors should embrace the Company’s values and culture and should possess the highest levels of integrity.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates the composition of our Board annually to assess whether the skills, experience, characteristics and other criteria established by our Board are currently represented on our Board as a whole, and in individual directors, and to assess the criteria that may be needed in the future in light of the Company’s anticipated needs. Our Board of Directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also actively seek to achieve a diversity of occupational and personal backgrounds on the Board, including diversity with respect to demographics such as gender, race, ethnic and national background, geography, age and sexual orientation.

In April 2025, our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended, and our Board approved, appointing Ms. Glassman and Mr. Blewitt to the Board. Ms. Glassman and Mr. Blewitt bring a diversity of skills and background to the Board, particularly given their 30+ years of financial services experience.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the qualifications of director candidates and incumbent directors in light of the criteria approved by our Board and recommends the Company’s candidates to our Board for election by the Company’s stockholders at the applicable annual meeting. We believe our Board is well positioned to provide effective oversight and strategic advice to our management.

Procedures for Recommending Individuals to Serve as Directors

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also considers director candidates recommended by our stockholders that are submitted in accordance with our amended and restated bylaws (“bylaws”). Any stockholder who wishes to propose director nominees for consideration by our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, but does not wish to present such proposal at an annual meeting of stockholders, may do so at any time by sending each proposed nominee’s name and a description of his or her qualifications for board membership to the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee by sending an email to mcraft@p10alts.com or in writing, c/o our Secretary, at 4514 Cole Ave, Suite 500, Dallas, TX, 75205. The recommendation should contain all of the information regarding the nominee required under the “advance notice” provisions of our bylaws (which can be provided free of charge upon request by writing to our Secretary at the address listed above). The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee evaluates

nominee proposals submitted by stockholders in the same manner in which it evaluates other director nominees.

Board Risk Oversight

Our Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing our risk management process. Our Board of Directors focuses on our general risk management strategy and the most significant risks facing us and oversees the implementation of risk mitigation strategies by management. Our Board of Directors is also apprised of particular risk management matters in connection with its general oversight and approval of corporate matters and significant transactions.

While the full Board of Directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees will oversee risk in certain specified areas. In particular, our audit committee oversees management of enterprise risks, financial risks and risks associated with corporate governance, business conduct and ethics and is responsible for overseeing the review and approval of related-party transactions. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements and the incentives created by the compensation awards it administers. Pursuant to the Board of Directors’ instruction, management regularly reports on applicable risks to the relevant committee or the full Board of Directors, as appropriate, with additional review or reporting on risks conducted as needed or as requested by the Board of Directors and its committees.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

Our corporate governance guidelines, in accordance with the NYSE reporting requirements, is available at: https://ir.p10alts.com/governance- documents.

Code of Ethics

Our code of ethics satisfies the requirement that we have a “code of conduct” under applicable NYSE rules, a copy of which is available at: https://ir.p10alts.com/governance-documents. We intend to disclose future amendments to certain provisions of this code of business ethics, or waivers of such provisions, applicable to any principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, and our directors, on our website identified above.

Insider Trading Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted an insider trading policy that governs the purchase, sale and/or other disposition of the Company's securities by all directors, officers, and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, their respective related persons and controlled entities, as well as the Company itself. Among other things, person subject to our insider trading policy are prohibited from engaging in any of the following types of transactions with respect to the Company’s securities: (i) short term trading, (ii) short sales, (iii) hedging transactions, (iv) trading on margin or pledging, (v) options trading, and buying or selling puts or calls or other derivative securities.

Clawback Policy

In 2023, we adopted a clawback policy that provides for the recovery of all erroneously awarded compensation received by an executive officer in the event of an accounting restatement due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, as required under Section 10D of the Exchange Act, Rule 10D-1 promulgated under the Exchange Act and Section 303A.14 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual.

Meetings and Attendance

Our Board of Directors held 10 meetings in 2024. Each of the directors currently serving on our Board of Directors that were serving in 2024 attended at least 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors held in 2024 and meetings held by each committee of the Board of Directors on which such director served during the period that the director so served in 2024 with the exception of Travis Barnes who attended 70% of the meetings of the Board of Directors held in 2024. Directors are expected to attend our annual meeting of stockholders each year.

Communications with the Board of Directors

You may communicate with our Board of Directors by writing to our Corporate Secretary at P10, Inc., 4514 Cole Ave, Suite 500, Dallas, TX 75205. The Corporate Secretary will deliver this communication to the Board of Directors or the specified director, as the case may be, if they relate to appropriate and substantive corporate or Board of Directors matters. Communications that are of a commercial or frivolous nature, or otherwise inappropriate for the Board of Director’s consideration, will not be forwarded to the Board of Directors.

Policies and Procedures Regarding Related Person Transactions

Our Board of Directors has adopted written policies and procedures regarding related person transactions. For purposes of these policies and procedures:

a “related person” means any of our directors, executive officers or nominees for director or any of their immediate family members; and
a “related person transaction” generally is a transaction (including any indebtedness or a guarantee of indebtedness) in which we were or are to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and in which a related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Each of our executive officers, directors or nominees for director is required to disclose to the Audit Committee certain information relating to related person transactions for review, approval or ratification by the Audit Committee. Disclosure to the Audit Committee should occur before, if possible, or as soon as practicable after the related person transaction is effected, but in any event as soon as practicable after the executive officer, director or nominee for director becomes aware of the related person transaction. The Audit Committee’s decision whether or not to approve or ratify a related person transaction is to be made in light of the Audit Committee’s determination that consummation of the transaction is not or was not contrary to our best interests. Any related person transaction must be disclosed to the full Board of Directors.

Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions

Our related party transactions include:

Investment Manager to Funds

Through its subsidiaries, the Company serves as the investment manager to our existing portfolio of solutions across private equity, venture capital, private credit and impact investing (collectively, "the Funds"). Certain expenses incurred by the Funds are paid upfront and are reimbursed from the Funds as permissible per fund agreements. As of December 31, 2024, the total accounts receivable from the Funds totaled $42.5 million, of which $12.1 million related to reimbursable expenses and $30.4 million related to fees earned but not yet received. Reimbursable expenses and fees earned but not yet received are included in due from related parties and accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. In certain instances, the Company may incur expenses related to specific products that never materialize and therefore would not be reimbursed and expensed at that time.

Enhanced Advisory Agreement

Upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition of Enhanced Capital Group, LLC ("ECG") and Enhanced Capital Partners, LLC ("ECP"), the Advisory Agreement between ECG and Enhanced Permanent Capital, LLC ("Enhanced PC") immediately became effective. Under this agreement, ECG provides advisory services to Enhanced PC related to the assets and operations of the permanent capital subsidiaries owned by Enhanced PC, as contributed by both ECG and ECP. ECG provides advisory services relating to new projects undertaken by Enhanced PC under additional arrangements governed by the terms of the Advisory Agreement. In exchange for those services, which commenced on January 1, 2021, ECG receives advisory fees from Enhanced PC based on a declining fixed fee schedule that is commensurate with the level of services being performed. The Company allocates a portion of the consideration received under this arrangement to a financing component when it determines that a significant financing component exists. As of December 31, 2024, certain of the Company's contracts with Enhanced PC contained a significant financing component, as a result of the Company's expectation that the period between services being provided and cash collection will exceed one year. Interest income related to the identified significant financing component was insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, the total contractual advisory fees are $115.1 million over ten years. These agreements are subject to customary termination provisions. Since inception, $79.4 million of the total $115.1 million advisory fees have been recognized as revenue. There was $35.7 million in remaining performance obligations related to these agreements, which will be recognized between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2031.

Enhanced Administrative Services Agreement

Upon the closing of the Company’s acquisition of ECG and ECP, the Administrative Services Agreement between ECG and Enhanced Capital Holdings, Inc. (“ECH”), the entity which holds a controlling equity interest in ECP, immediately became effective. Under this agreement, ECG pays ECH for the use of their employees to provide services at the direction of ECG. The Company recognized $13.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 related to this agreement within compensation and benefits on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of December 31, 2024, the associated accrual was $3.4 million and is included in due to related parties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Crossroads Strategic Partnership

On September 10, 2021, Enhanced entered into a strategic partnership with Crossroads Impact Corp ("Crossroads"), the parent company of Capital Plus Financial ("CPF"), a leading certified development financial institution. Under the terms of the agreement, Enhanced was to originate and manage loans across its diverse lines of business including small business loans to women and minority owned businesses, and loans to renewable energy and community development projects. The loans were to be held by CPF and CPF will pay an advisory fee to Enhanced.

On July 6, 2022, Crossroads entered into the Advisory Agreement (the "Crossroads Advisory Agreement") with ECG. The Crossroads Advisory Agreement provides for ECG to receive a services fee of approximately 1.5% per year of the capital deployed by Crossroads under the Crossroads Advisory Agreement (0.375% quarterly) and an incentive fee of 15% over a 7% hurdle rate. In relation to the strategic partnership with Crossroads effective September 10, 2021 and the Crossroads Advisory Agreement, the Company recognized $6.1 million of fees for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included in management and advisory fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Two former members of the Board of Directors of the Company are directors of Crossroads and

recused themselves from any decisions related to Crossroads or CPF during their time as directors. The Company recognizes an annual fee from the funds of $20,000 of which $20,000 has been recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024, which is included in management and advisory fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On December 23, 2024, Crossroads and ECG terminated the Crossroads Advisory Agreement. Additionally, the impact credit asset portfolio managed by the Company was contributed to two new limited liability companies ("Clifford") and the funds managed by the Company redeemed their interest in Crossroads in exchange for membership interests in Clifford in proportion to the fair value of the net assets contributed. At the same time, ECG entered into an Advisory Agreement with Clifford ("Clifford Advisory Agreement") to manage the impact credit asset portfolio, which has a term ending on the disposal date for all of Clifford's underlying investments. The Clifford Advisory Agreement provides for ECG to receive a services fee of approximately 1.5% per year of the capital deployed by Clifford under the Clifford Advisory Agreement. Clifford is not considered a related party to the Company.

As part of the Clifford arrangement, Enhanced Clifford (GP) LLC ("Clifford GP"), a direct subsidiary of ECH, was formed. Clifford GP receives incremental fees from Clifford as part of the Clifford Advisory Agreement. The Company is a guarantor on a put option and call option with third party customers.

Bonaccord Agreements

Upon the closing of the Bonaccord Capital Advisors LLC ("Bonaccord") acquisition on September 30, 2021, an Advance Agreement and Secured Promissory Note was signed with BCP Partners Holdings, LP, an entity that was formed by employees of the Company. Additional Secured Promissory Notes were signed with certain Bonaccord employees on October 13, 2023.

Keystone Capital Arrangements

Scott Gwilliam, one of our directors, is the managing partner of Keystone Capital Management (“Keystone Capital"), affiliates of which have the right, pursuant to prior contractual agreements with certain subsidiaries of the Company, to invest in the Company’s funds on certain preferential terms. In the past, Mr. Gwilliam, individually and certain investment funds managed by Keystone Capital (the “KCI Funds”), have invested in certain of the Company’s funds on the same terms and conditions as other unaffiliated clients and investors, except that these investments are generally not subject to management fees or carried interests. Mr. Gwilliam and the KCI Funds may continue to make similar investments in the future. See “—Director and Officer Investments” and “—Bonaccord Capital Fund II Arrangements” below. Mr. Gwilliam also serves on the advisory board of an investment fund managed by RCP Advisors.

Certain funds managed by or separate managed accounts of RCP Advisors (the "RCP Funds") have invested $100 million in capital with two investment funds managed by Keystone Capital and may continue to do so in the future. The RCP Funds have also, on behalf of their clients, partnered with Keystone Capital in the acquisition of certain businesses on a direct basis. The RCP Funds invest, on behalf of their clients, on substantially the same terms and conditions as other clients in these funds, including being subject to management fees and carried interest payable to affiliates of Keystone Capital, which approximated $0.55 million (net of fee offsets and fee waivers) for the year ended December 31, 2024. These fees are not included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as they are fees paid to Keystone Capital on behalf of clients of the RCP Funds. In addition, representatives of RCP Advisors serve on the advisory board of certain of the KCI Funds.

Certain employees of subsidiaries of the Company in the past have invested in investment funds managed by Keystone Capital and are not subject to management fees or carried interests, and may continue to do so in the future.

Director and Officer Investments

The Company’s executive officers and directors have also invested, and may continue to invest in and alongside certain of the Company’s funds on substantially the same terms and conditions as other unaffiliated clients and investors, except that these investments are sometimes not subject to management fees or carried interest. We believe that these investments further align the interests of our executive officers and directors with those of the limited partners of our funds and our firm. In addition, our independent directors are permitted to participate in such investments up to a certain threshold, which the Board has determined will not compromise their independence. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the aggregate commitments by the Company's executive officers and directors and their family members and estate planning vehicles (including amounts related to indirect investments made through pooled vehicles) in and alongside the Company's funds was approximately $6,600,000.

Bonaccord Capital Fund II Arrangements

In 2024, certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors invested directly in the general partner entity for Bonaccord Capital Partners II and are entitled to a proportionate share in the carried interest for such fund. The amounts committed to be invested in the general partner are as follows: Mr. McCoy—$1,000,000; Mr. Poston—$2,000,000; and Mr. Sarsfield—$350,000.

Controlled Company Agreement

P10, Inc. entered into the Controlled Company Agreement on October 20, 2021, with the 210 Group, RCP Group and TrueBridge Group, granting each party certain board designation rights. On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment to the Controlled Company Agreement to, among other things: (i) remove 210/P10 Acquisition Partners, LLC and certain members of the RCP Group thereunder, and (ii) remove the board nomination and other rights of 210/P10 Acquisition Partners, LLC. Under the Controlled Company Agreement, as amended, subject to certain limitations and exceptions set forth therein, (i) so long as the RCP Group and any of its permitted transferees who hold shares of common stock as of the applicable time continue to collectively hold a combined voting power of at least 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Company's initial public offering, the Company will include in its slate of nominees one (1) director designated by the RCP Group and (ii) so long as TrueBridge Group and any of its permitted transferees who hold shares of common stock as of the applicable time continue to collectively hold a combined voting power of at least 5% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately following the Company's initial public offering, the Company will include in its slate of nominees one (1) director designated by the TrueBridge Group.

Termination Payments and Other Benefits

Under the Amended Sarsfield Employment Agreement, upon a termination by the Company Without Cause, or if Mr. Sarsfield resigns for Good Reason (each as defined under the Amended Sarsfield Employment Agreement), then Mr. Sarsfield will be entitled to receive, in addition to any accrued and unpaid benefits: (i) a lump sum payment equal to one and one half (1.5) times his then-current base salary; (ii) a lump sum payment equal to one and one half (1.5) times his then-current annual cash bonus; and (iii) immediate vesting of any and all outstanding equity awards and all carried interests in certain investment vehicles controlled by the Company.

Under each of the Coussens Employment Agreement and Hood Employment Agreement, upon a termination by the Company without Cause (including a notice of non-renewal) or by the executive’s resignation for Good Reason, then such executive would be entitled to receive the following: (i) a severance payment, payable in a lump sum, equal to 12 months’ salary; (ii) the target amount of the executive’s annual bonus; (iii) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months; and (iv) immediate vesting of any equity granted to such executive and immediate vesting of all carried interests in the investment vehicles granted to executive. If such termination occurs within 18 months following a Change in Control (or during such time in which the Company is party to a letter of intent or definitive agreement that contemplates a Change in Control), then the severance payment will be increased from 12 months’ salary to 18 months’ salary, the lump sum payment of the target annual bonus will be equal to the target annual bonus covering an 18 month-period, and the period for which the executive is eligible to receive reimbursement of COBRA premiums will be increased from 12 months to 18 months.

For all executives, in the case of death or disability (each as defined under the employment agreements), there will be immediate vesting of any and all outstanding Company equity awards granted to the executive (excluding any RSUs that have not yet been earned), and immediate vesting of all carried interests in the investment vehicles of the affiliated entities granted to the executive during the term.

Impact of Tax Treatment on Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Code generally denies a federal income tax deduction for compensation in excess of $1,000,000 per year paid to certain executive employees, which may limit our ability to fully deduct compensation paid to certain of our executives. Although the Compensation Committee considers the deductibility of expenses when it makes compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee believes in maintaining the flexibility and competitive effectiveness of the executive compensation program and tax deductibility is only one of many factors considered in the overall compensation program.

Compensation Policies and Practices and Risk

We monitor and assess periodically our enterprise risks, including risks from our compensation policies and practices for our employees. Based on our periodic assessments, we believe that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees, including our named executive officers, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

We believe our compensation policies and practices provide an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term incentives, encourage our employees to produce superior results for our Company without having to take excessive or inappropriate risks to do so, and continue to serve the best interests our Company and stockholders

Compensation Committee Processes and Procedures

Under our Compensation Committee charter, the Committee annually reviews and approves corporate goals and objectives relevant to

 

 

 

2025 Proxy Statement

Matters to Come Before the Annual Meeting

 

 

 

CEO compensation, evaluates the CEO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determines and approves the CEO’s overall compensation levels based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of the CEO's compensation, the Committee may consider any number of factors, including the Company's performance and relative stockholder return, the value of similar incentive awards to CEOs at comparable companies, and the awards given to the CEO in past years. Under our Compensation Committee charter, at least annually, the Committee reviews and approves the annual base salaries and annual incentive opportunities of the CEO and executive officers. Our CEO recommends the compensation of the executive officers of the Company, other than that of the CEO, to the Compensation Committee. Such recommendation is reviewed by the Compensation Committee, which will then determine the compensation of the executive officers. The Compensation Committee determines the compensation of our CEO in an executive session at which our CEO is not present.

Our Compensation Committee charter states that our Compensation Committee shall review and approve all other incentive awards and opportunities, including both cash-based and equity-based awards and opportunities, of the CEO and executive officers. Our Compensation Committee charter provides that the Committee may delegate to its Chairman or other members such powers and authority as the Committee deems to be appropriate, except such powers and authority required by law to be exercised by the whole Committee.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Each of Tracey Benford, Robert Stewart, Jr. and Travis Barnes served on the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2024. No member of the Compensation Committee was, at any time during fiscal 2024 or at any other time, an officer or employee of P10, and, other than disclosed in the section titled "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions", no member of this Committee had any relationship with P10 requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act. No executive officer of P10 has served on the Board of Directors or Compensation Committee of any other entity that has or has had one or more executive officers who served as a member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal 2024.

Equity Grant Policy and Procedures

We generally grant annual equity-based awards during the first half of our fiscal year, with the Board approving grants to executive officers as recommended by the Compensation Committee, although such timing may change from year to year. The Compensation Committee also may consider and approve interim or mid-year grants, or grants made on another basis, from time to time based on business needs, changing compensation practices or other factors, in the discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee does not take into account material nonpublic information in determining the timing and terms of equity-based awards, and we have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Audit Committee Report

Pursuant to rules adopted by the SEC designed to improve disclosures related to the functioning of corporate audit committees and to enhance the reliability and credibility of financial statements of public companies, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors submits the following report:

Audit Committee Report to Stockholders*

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee is composed of three directors, all of which are independent as defined by the Listing Rules. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board of Directors and held 8 meetings in fiscal 2024. A copy of the charter is available at https://ir.p10alts.com/governance-documents.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statement in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards and to issue a report thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes, including the activities of the Internal Audit function. The Audit Committee has established a mechanism to receive, retain and process complaints on auditing, accounting and internal control issues, including the confidential, anonymous submission by employees, vendors, customers and others of concerns on questionable accounting and auditing matters.

In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and KPMG LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm, to review and discuss the December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards Update No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3200T. In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2024 filed with the SEC.

The Audit Committee also has appointed, subject to stockholder ratification, KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

Respectfully submitted,

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors, executive officers, and any person beneficially owning more than 10% of our common stock to file reports concerning their ownership of our equity securities with the SEC. Based solely on a review of the forms filed electronically with the SEC during 2024 and on written representations that no Form 5 was required to be filed, we believe that, during 2024, all of our directors, executive officers, and persons who beneficially owned more than 10% of our common stock timely complied with the Section 16(a) filing requirements, other than: (i) a late Form 4 filed jointly by C. Clark Webb, Robert Alpert, and certain affiliates on January 5, 2024 to report the grant of restricted stock units to C. Clark Webb, (ii) a late Form 4 filed by the Jon I. Madorsky Revocable Trust dated December 1, 2008 on January 11, 2024 to report the conversion of shares of Class B common stock, and gifting of the converted shares; (iii) a late Form 4 filed by Andrew Rowan Nelson on February 13, 2024 to report the exercise of stock options and withholding of shares for the payment of taxes thereunder; (iv) a late Form 4 filed by Michael Feinglass on February 13, 2024 to report the exercise of stock options and withholding of shares for the payment of taxes thereunder; (v) a late Form 4 filed by David McCoy on March 15, 2024 to report the grant of restricted stock units and stock options, and the vesting of restricted stock units and the withholding of shares for the payment of taxes thereunder; (vi) a late Form 4 filed jointly by C.

Our business is built on relationships and those are everything to us. Not just with general partners and limited partners, but with employees. Employee retention is key to the execution of our business plan, and we are keenly aware of the importance our people play in the success of our business. We demonstrate our commitment to providing equal opportunities to all employees through training, mentoring, education, and an inclusive culture. We engage our employees in a variety of ways as we seek to create a vibrant workplace for our team.

We have a strong anti-discrimination policy and consider the inclusion of all people as paramount to our goals. We recognize that P10 plays an important part in the lives of our people, and we strive to create an inclusive workplace where people feel heard, valued, and appreciated.

We are also committed to providing our employees with competitive total compensation, benefits, and wellness resources.

Our Community: We support a variety of charitable organizations in our communities through donations, fundraising efforts, and educational partnerships. We strive to use our knowledge, talents and resources to help improve the quality of life in our communities. Each year, Enhanced Capital publishes an annual Community Impact Report to disclose impact performance from the year. For example, Enhanced Capital provided a loan to Indian Energy, an energy development firm, to develop a renewable energy and battery storage microgrid project on Native American Tribal lands near Alpine, CA. Reliable, clean energy will be provided to the Viejas Band of the Kumeyaay Indians through a 15 MW photovoltaic solar generation system and a 38 MWh battery long-duration energy storage system.

Increased the use of e-records and e-signing technology resulting in paper waste and carbon emissions reduction.
Utilized digital solutions such as mobile/online banking, e-Statements, and electronic bill pay.
Continued to migrate technology infrastructure to a cloud environment, reducing energy usage, and accordingly, our carbon footprint.
Encouraged environmentally friendly work practices by supporting the recycling of plastic, glass, and paper.

 

Governance: We believe that strong governance related to ethics, integrity, risk management, compliance, and business continuity supports the long-term success of our Company, building trust and credibility with our stakeholders. Compliance oversight including the assignment of a Chief Compliance Officer for each strategy. Our Board and its committees help set the tone for P10 and meet regularly to review policies, current regulations, and industry best practices.
