ention occurs when a stockholder attends the special meeting virtually and does not vote or returns a proxy with an “abstain” instruction. Merger proposal: An abstention or failure to vote will have the same effect as a vote cast “AGAINST” the mergers. Adjournment proposal: An abstention will have the same effect as a vote cast “AGAINST” the adjournment proposal. If a Bridge stockholder is not present virtually at the special meeting and does not respond by proxy, it will have no effect on the vote for the adjournment proposal (assuming a quorum is present). Q: What will happen if I return my proxy card or voting instruction form without indicating how to vote? If you sign and return your proxy card or voting instruction form without indicating how to vote on any particular proposal, the Bridge common stock represented by your proxy will be voted as recommended by the Bridge Board with respect to that proposal. Q: May I change or revoke my vote after I have delivered my proxy card or voting instruction form? Yes. If you are a record holder, you may change or revoke your vote before your proxy is voted at the special meeting by delivering written notice of revocation to the Secretary of Bridge (“Bridge’s secretary”) by submitting a subsequently dated proxy by mail, telephone or the Internet in the manner described above under “ How do I vote?” or by attending the special meeting and voting in person virtually. Attendance at the special meeting will not itself revoke an earlier submitted proxy. If you hold your shares in street name, you must follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or nominee to revoke your voting instructions, or, if you have obtained a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee giving you the right to vote your shares at the special meeting, by attending the special meeting and voting in person virtually. Q: What are the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Corporate Merger? The Corporate Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). However, it is not a condition to Bridge’s obligation or Apollo’s obligation to complete the mergers that the Corporate Merger qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Moreover, neither Bridge nor Apollo intend to request any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding any matters relating to the Corporate Merger,
