 (the “covered shares”), among
other things, in favor of the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal. For more information, please see “The Voting Agreements” beginning on page 125.

As of the Bridge record date, the Voting Agreement Stockholders had combined beneficial ownership of approximately 51.4% of the total
outstanding shares of Bridge Class A common stock and Bridge Class B common stock, and the votes of the covered shares of such Voting Agreement Stockholders are sufficient to constitute a quorum at a duly convened meeting of Bridge
stockholders and to approve the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal.

Q: How does the Bridge Board recommend that I vote?

The Bridge Board unanimously recommends that Bridge stockholders vote “FOR” the merger proposal and “FOR” the
adjournment proposal.

Q: Why did the Bridge Board form a special committee of independent directors?

The Bridge Board established the special committee to, among other things, evaluate potential strategic opportunities for Bridge and its
affiliates, including, without limitation, a potential sale of Bridge or Bridge’s assets or portions thereof. The Bridge Board granted the special committee the exclusive authority to consider, evaluate and negotiate any potential transaction
and to determine on behalf of the Bridge Board and Bridge whether any potential transaction is advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, Bridge and its unaffiliated stockholders and to recommend to the Bridge Board what action, if any,
should be taken regarding submitting any potential transaction to Bridge stockholders for their approval. The Bridge Board determined that it would not authorize or recommend any potential transaction for approval by Bridge stockholders or otherwise
approve or recommend any potential transaction unless the special committee determined that such potential transaction is fair to and in the best interests of all of Bridge stockholders (including its unaffiliated stockholders).

Each member of the special committee (a) is not affiliated with Apollo (other than Mr. Leat, who was not a member of the special
committee when it reached its recommendations on the transactions with Apollo, as described in more detail in “The Mergers—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Bridge in the Mergers” beginning on
page 84), (b) will not be affiliated with Apollo following the completion of the transactions (other than Mr. Leat, as described in more detail in “The Mergers—Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Bridge in the Mergers” beginning on page 84), (c) is not a member
