NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 25, 2022 / PRNewswire / — Parallaxes Capital Management (“Parallaxes”) is an alternative asset manager and, since 2017, has raised four funds dedicated to Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”). As the market leader in monetizing TRAs, Parallaxes is dedicated to increasing the visibility and transparency of TRAs which remain an often overlooked and misunderstood asset class. In the vein of creating greater visibility into the TRA ecosystem, Parallaxes is pleased to highlight a notable development in the market as Ply Gem Holdings, Inc. (“Ply Gem”) previously terminated its TRA.
Ply Gem disclosed that, after its merger with NCI Building Systems, Inc., Ply Gem made an aggregate cash payment of approximately $47 million to TRA holders to terminate its TRA. The Ply Gem TRA provided for the payment of 85% of the cash savings realized from certain tax attributes, including savings from (i) net operating loss carryovers (“NOLs”), (ii) deductible expenses attributable to Ply Gem’s initial public offering, and (iii) deductions related to imputed interest.
Parallaxes views TRAs, including the Ply Gem TRA, as a valuable tool to reduce certain moral hazard problems and informational asymmetry inherent in a company’s public offering. TRAs help ensure that pre-IPO owners are economically aligned with new public shareholders and incentivize pre-IPO owners to pursue an IPO structure that provides the company with ongoing tax benefits. Parallaxes anticipates enhanced awareness and understanding of TRAs will drive increased market adoption.
