matter was removed to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. On April 6, 2023, UBS moved to have the case remanded to New York state court. The federal court remanded the state law causes of action and retained and stayed the federal cause of action. On February 26, 2024, several of the respondents, including Mr. Dondero, filed motions in state court to dismiss the UBS Lawsuit on various grounds. A hearing was held on July 8, 2024. The court dismissed the claims against one respondent, CLO HoldCo, Ltd., for lack of personal jurisdiction in a July 12, 2024 order. On March 26, 2025, the court entered an order denying the remaining motions to dismiss and directed the respondents to file an answer to the UBS Lawsuit within 20 days, which they did. Mr. Dondero is appealing the denial of the motion to dismiss to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. Neither the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit nor the UBS Lawsuit include claims related to our business or our assets.

Less available and more expensive debt capital has had pronounced effects on the capital markets, making property acquisitions and other investments harder to finance. Similar factors also
