 submitted to Bridge stockholders for adoption at a meeting of such stockholders, and (iv) recommended that Bridge stockholders vote “FOR” the proposal to approve and adopt the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the mergers and “FOR” the proposal to adjourn the special meeting, if necessary or appropriate. In evaluating the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and making the decisions, determinations and recommendations described above, the special committee and the Bridge Board considered, among other things, the following potentially positive factors, which are not intended to be exhaustive and are not presented in any relative order of importance:

| • |     | that the special committee and the Bridge Board, with the assistance of their respective independent legal and                                                                                                                                        
 other advisors, had considered alternatives, including continuing to operate Bridge on a standalone basis, other potential value creating options, including financing transactions, or a sale to an alternative buyer or a sale of certain assets or 
 business lines of Bridge, and considered the risks and                                                                                                                                                                                                |

| uncertainties associated with such alternatives, and each respectively formed the view that no other alternatives were reasonably likely to create greater value for Bridge stockholders (including                                               
 the Non-Unit Stockholders) than the mergers, taking into account the alternatives reasonably available to Bridge and the risk of execution, as well as business, competitive, industry and market risks, followed                                 
 by broad outreach to potentially interested parties, including communicating with 24 potential counterparties and executing confidentiality agreements with 14 of these potential counterparties (which are summarized in the section titled “The 
 Mergers—Background of the Mergers,” beginning on page 39);                                                                                                                                                                                        |

| • |     | the reviews undertaken by, and understandings of, the special committee and the Bridge Board with respect to                                                                                                          
 economic and market conditions and trends, as well as the challenges and uncertainty surrounding such conditions and trends, both on a historical and prospective basis, in the near term and the long term, such as: |

| • |     | the risks and uncertainties relating to Bridge’s ability to retain and attract fund investors and to raise 
 new funds;                                                                                                 |

| • |     | the risks and uncertainties relating to ongoing industry consolidation and competition, including the ability of                                      
 Bridge to be able to compete effectively in the markets in which Bridge operates or may operate in the future without significant further investment; |

| • |     | the outlook for the real estate market and the risks and uncertainties relating to real estate-related businesses    
 and
