 Ms. Chase and Mr. Leat.

On June 18, 2024, the comprehensive “second round” virtual data room was opened to Apollo and Bidder B.

On June 24, 2024, certain members of Bridge’s management team, including members of its Client Solutions Group, had a telephone
conversation with certain representatives from Apollo to provide due diligence information on, among other matters, Bridge’s fundraising pipeline.

On June 26, 2024, Bidder F conveyed to representatives of J.P. Morgan that it would not be moving forward in the process.

On July 2, 2024, Mr. Morse and Mr. Leat had a telephone conversation with David Sambur, a Partner and Co-Head of Equity at Apollo to discuss, among other matters, a potential transaction between Apollo and Bridge, including respective capabilities and complementary strengths of each firm, the status of due
diligence, and potential transaction structure matters.

Later on July 2, 2024, the special committee held a meeting with
representatives of Cravath and Lazard. Mr. Leat provided an update on the conversation earlier that day with Apollo covering a range of business-related topics such as potential synergies between Bridge and Apollo and how Bridge’s business
might be best integrated with Apollo’s business. Mr. Leat noted that, as previously previewed for the special committee during the special committee meeting on June 17, 2024, Mr. Morse had expressed to Apollo the interest of
Bridge’s management team in retaining a portion of their ownership of Bridge in any potential transaction but that there had not been any discussion of the TRA or any compensation or similar arrangements for Bridge’s management.
Representatives of Lazard discussed with the special committee the current status of discussions with Bidder E, and the special committee agreed to direct Mr. Morse to schedule a meeting with Bidder E to explore their interest in a potential
transaction further. The special committee discussed Bridge’s financial results for the second quarter of 2024 and their potential impact on the ongoing process. Finally, representatives of Lazard shared that Lazard and Cravath were working
with J.P. Morgan to draft a second round process letter to be shared with potential counterparties and recommended setting a short deadline for a final proposal in order to maintain competitive tension among the remaining potential counterparties.

On July 3, 2024, a Bridge Board meeting was held and, among other matters, the Bridge Board discussed the status of ongoing
