**Interests of Tiptree’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger**

Tiptree does not believe that any director, director nominee or executive officer of Tiptree since January 1, 2024, has any direct or indirect substantial interest in the Merger that is different from or in addition to the interests of our stockholders generally.
