 holders of Bridge Class A common stock was more favorable to such holders than the potential value that might result from other alternatives reasonably available to Bridge, including the alternative of remaining an independent company and 
 pursuing Bridge’s current strategic plan, and other strategic or financial alternatives that might be undertaken as an independent company, in light of a number of factors, including the risks and uncertainties associated with those       
 alternatives and the administrative and compliance costs associated with operating Bridge as a publicly traded company;                                                                                                                        |

| • |     | that the exchange ratio is fixed and will not fluctuate in the event that the market price of Bridge Class A                                        
 common stock decreases relative to the market price of Apollo common stock between the date of the merger agreement and the closing of the mergers; |

| • |     | the conclusions of the special committee and the Bridge Board that, after a thorough process conducted at the                                                                                                                                           
 direction of the special committee, with the assistance of experienced independent legal and financial advisors, Bridge obtained the best terms and highest price that Apollo is willing to pay for Bridge and, as Apollo had conveyed that the Revised 
 December Proposal was its “best and final” proposal, that further negotiations would have created a risk of causing Apollo to abandon the mergers altogether or materially delay the entry into definitive transaction agreements with respect          
 to the mergers;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |

| • |     | the reviews undertaken by the special committee and the Bridge Board of the merger agreement and the structure of 
 the transactions, including, among others, the specific financial and other terms and conditions set out below;   |

| • |     | the terms of the merger agreement permitting Bridge to receive acquisition proposals that do not result from a                                      
 material breach of the non-solicitation obligations in the merger agreement, and the other terms and conditions of the merger agreement, including: |

| • |     | that at any time prior to obtaining the Bridge stockholder approval, Bridge may, in certain circumstances                                                                                                  
 described in the merger agreement, (i) enter into an acceptable confidentiality agreement with a third party who has made an acquisition proposal and/or its affiliates and representatives and furnish
