 alternative third-party transactions; and (c) take all other actions relating to a potential transaction and any alternatives as the special committee may deem to be
necessary or appropriate in order for the special committee to discharge its duties. The Bridge Board further resolved that the Bridge Board shall not approve or recommend for approval by Bridge stockholders any potential strategic transaction
(i) without a prior favorable recommendation by the special committee, and (ii) unless such transaction has obtained the majority of the minority approval.

Also on April 2, 2024, Mr. Morse and other members of Bridge’s management team, including, among others, Jonathan Slager, Chief
Executive Officer of Bridge, had a telephone conversation with Apollo to discuss the possibility of a potential financing transaction between Apollo and Bridge.

On April 4, April 5 and April 8, 2024, the special committee held three separate organizational meetings at which the special
committee discussed and approved (a) the appointment of Mr. Leat as Chair of the special committee, (b) the reengagement of Cravath as independent legal counsel to the special committee and (c) the reengagement of Lazard to
assist the special committee. At these meetings, the special committee also discussed the roles and responsibilities of the special committee (and its legal and financial advisors) and Bridge’s management team (and its legal and financial
advisors) with respect to the evaluation and negotiation of any potential strategic transactions, including appropriate parameters for Bridge’s management team (and its legal and financial advisors) to contact and engage in discussions with
potential counterparties in addition to the special committee’s legal and financial advisors. The special committee determined that it would be in the best interest of Bridge and its stockholders for each of Bridge’s management, the
special committee and their respective legal and financial advisors to engage with potential counterparties in a coordinated and collaborative way within clear parameters, including that members of Bridge’s management would not be permitted to
discuss any matters related to employment or compensation or any other terms of a potential transaction with respect to Bridge’s management. The special committee requested Cravath draft process guidelines for Bridge’s management team
reflecting the parameters discussed.

On April 8, 2024, following review, discussion and negotiation of the proposed terms of
reengagement of Lazard and consideration of the disclosure provided by Lazard of its relationships with Bridge and certain potential counterparties, the special committee reengaged Lazard to act as a financial advisor to the special committee
