On March 31, 2021, RSG acquired the remaining outstanding 53% of the common units in Ryan Re, making Ryan Re a wholly owned subsidiary. Refer to Note 15,

.
On September 1, 2020, RSG acquired ARL. Prior to the acquisition, ARL was an independently owned wholesale insurance brokerage, binding, and underwriting operation headquartered in Delray Beach, Florida.
Certain amounts included in the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in respect of acquisitions made in the previous twelve months may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments until purchase accounting is finalized. The estimation of fair value requires numerous judgments, assumptions and estimates about future events and uncertainties, which could materially impact these values, and the related amortization, where applicable, in the Company’s Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. As of June 30, 2021, the Company has not recognized any impairments of acquired goodwill and other intangible assets.
The consideration allocation is based on estimates that are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material. Any necessary adjustments must be finalized during the measurement period, which for a particular asset, liability, or
non-controlling
interest ends once the acquirer determines that either (i) the necessary information has been obtained or (ii) the information is not available. However, the measurement period for all items is limited to one year from the acquisition date. No adjustment, individually or in aggregate, has been material.
Contingent Consideration
The Company recognizes losses for changes in fair value of estimated contingent consideration within Change in contingent consideration on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company also recognizes interest expense for accretion of the discount on these liabilities, which is recognized within Interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The table below summarizes the change in contingent consideration and interest expense related to contingent consideration liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
