profits interest

profits interest
USA
partnership interests (or interests of an entity that is treated as a partnership for tax purposes such as the membership interests of an LLC) can be divided into a capital interest and a profits interest. A profits interest is a right to receive a percentage of future profits (but not existing capital) from a partnership. A capital interest is an interest that would give the holder a share of proceeds if the partnership assets were sold at their fair market value and the proceeds distributed in a complete liquidation of the partnership.
