SLP has historically made, and will continue to make, distributions of its net income to the holders of its partnership units for income tax purposes as required under the terms of its Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and also made, and will continue to make, additional distributions of net income under the terms of its Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. Partnership distributions totaled $1,479 and $1,419, for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Partnership distributions totaled $6,395 and $7,759, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Pursuant to SLP’s Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, partner incentive allocations are treated as distributions of net income. The remaining net income or loss after partner incentive allocations was generally allocated to the partners based on their pro rata ownership. Net income allocation is subject to the recovery of the allocated losses of prior periods. Distributions of partner incentive allocations of net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $30,008 and $32,262, respectively. The distributions are included in non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The Company treats SLP’s partner incentive allocations as compensation expense and accrues such amounts when earned. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, SLP accrued partner incentive allocations of $7,222 and $6,983, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, SLP accrued partner incentive allocations of $21,713 and $20,476, respectively.

(1)
Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Class A common stockholders have 100% of the rights of all classes of Silvercrest’s capital stock to receive dividends.
(2)
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, Silvercrest granted 15,017 and 11,822 restricted stock units, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there are 37,109 unvested restricted stock units which will vest and settle in the form of Class A shares of Silvercrest.
(3)
Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to one vote per share.
(4)
Each Class B unit of SLP held by a principal is exchangeable for one share of the Company’s Class A common stock. The principals collectively hold 4,406,295 Class B units, which represent the right to receive their proportionate share of the distributions made by SLP, and 228,117 restricted stock units which will vest and settle in the form of Class B units of SLP. The 228,117 restricted stock units which have been issued to our principals entitle the holders thereof to participate in distributions from SLP as if the underlying Class B units are outstanding and thus are taken into account to determine the economic interest of each holder of units in SLP. However, because the Class B units underlying the restricted stock units have not been issued and are not deemed outstanding, the holders of restricted stock units have no voting rights with respect to those Class B units. Silvercrest will not issue shares of Class B common stock in respect of restricted stock units of SLP until such time that the underlying Class B units are issued.
(5)
Silvercrest’s board of directors has the authority to issue preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and related restrictions, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or series, or the designation of the class or series, without the approval of its stockholders.

Silvercrest is dependent on cash generated by SLP to fund any dividends. Generally, SLP will distribute its profits to all of its partners, including Silvercrest, based on the proportionate ownership each holds in SLP. Silvercrest will fund dividends to its stockholders from its proportionate share of those distributions after provision for its income taxes and other obligations.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, Silvercrest issued the following shares:
