Oaktree VEF directly holds 3,087,250 warrants to acquire Class A Shares (“Warrants”). OCH is the indirect manager of Oaktree VEF, OCGH is the manager of OCH, and Brookfield Asset Management ULC is the indirect owner of class A units of OCH; in such capacities, each of OCH, OCGH, and Brookfield Asset Management ULC may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities.

Each Warrant is exercisable for one Class A Share, subject to a 4.8% exercise limitation set forth in the Loan Agreement between Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC and the Issuer, dated December 29, 2023, as increased to 9.8% pursuant to the notice to the Issuer, dated September 4, 2024, from Oaktree Capital Management, LP, acting on behalf of the Reporting Persons. In this regard, effective November 4, 2024, the Warrants can be exercised only to the extent that, after giving effect to such exercise, the aggregate amount of Class A Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and their affiliates does not exceed 9.8% of the outstanding Class A Shares (the “Blocker”). On January 8, 2024, Brookfield Property Partners L.P. filed a Schedule 13G with the SEC (the “Brookfield 13G”) and reported ownership of 2,759,932 Class A Shares. As Brookfield Property Partners L.P. may be deemed an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, the number of Class A Shares that can be acquired upon exercise of the Warrants, as subject to the Blocker, is 1,296,000, which, when aggregated with the Class A Shares reported on the Brookfield 13G, would represent beneficial ownership of 9.8% of the outstanding Class A Shares.

All calculations of beneficial ownership reported herein are based upon an aggregate of 40,087,785 Class A Shares outstanding, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on September 4, 2024, as increased by 1,296,000 Class A Shares issuable in respect of 1,296,000 Warrants.
