itholderStockholders to enter into the transactions (on the terms set forth in the merger agreement) without the majority of the minority approval condition based on the following factors (these factors are presented below in no particular order and were neither ranked nor weighted in any manner by the special committee):

| • |     | the fact that Apollo repeatedly stated that it would not agree to condition the transactions on majority of the 
 minority approval;                                                                                              |

| • |     | the belief of the special committee that continuing to insist on a majority of the minority approval condition                                                                
 (or not recommending approval of the transactions unless they had such a condition) would create a substantial risk of causing Apollo to abandon the transactions altogether; |

| • |     | the fact that the merger agreement and the voting agreements provided potential counterparties with an                     
 opportunity to propose a transaction with Bridge that would provide superior value to the Non-Unitholder Stockholders; and |

| • |     | the fact that the special committee believed, including for the reasons described above, that the terms of the                                                                                                            
 transactions represented the most favorable terms that could be obtained from Apollo and that entering into the transactions (on the terms set forth in the merger agreement) was in the best interests of Bridge and the 
 Non-Unitholder Stockholders relative to Bridge remaining a standalone company.                                                                                                                                            |

The special committee and the Bridge Board concluded that, overall, the potentially positive factors outweighed the uncertainties, risks and potentially negative factors relevant to the merger agreement and the 64

transactions contemplated thereby. Accordingly, the special committee and the Bridge Board determined that the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, advisable
and in the best interests of Bridge and its stockholders.

Accordingly, the Bridge Board, by a unanimous vote of the directors present and voting, recommends that you vote “FOR” the merger proposal, thereby approving the transactions, including the mergers, at the special meeting.

The foregoing discussion is not exhaustive, but is intended to summarize the material information and factors considered by the special committee and the Bridge Board in their consideration of the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The special committee and the Bridge Board reached the decision to approve the entry into the merger agreement and recommend its adoption by Bridge stockholders in light of the factors described above and other factors that the special committee and the Bridge Board believed were appropriate. In view of the variety of factors and the quality and amount of information considered, the special committee and the Bridge Board did not find it practicable to and did not
