 instructions provided by your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee to see which of the above choices are available to you. Please note that if you are a beneficial owner and wish to vote electronically at the special meeting, you must provide a legal proxy from your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee at the special meeting.

| Q. | What effect do abstentions and “broker non-votes” have on the proposals? |

Because the vote required to approve the proposal to approve one or more adjournments of the special meeting, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies, in the event that there are insufficient votes to approve the Merger Proposal is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the special meeting, an abstention with respect to such proposal will not have the effect of a vote for or against such proposal, but will not count as a vote cast and will therefore increase the relative influence of those stockholders voting with respect to such proposal. A broker non-vote is a vote that is not cast on a “non-routine” matter because the shares entitled to cast the vote are held in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, the broker, bank or other nominee lacks discretionary authority to vote the shares and the broker, bank or other nominee has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Because all of the proposals to be voted on at the special meeting are “non-routine” matters, brokers, banks and other nominees will not have authority to vote on any proposals unless instructed. As a result, Tiptree does not expect there to be any broker non-votes at the special meeting.

| Q. | How can I change or revoke my proxy? |

| A. | If you own shares of Tiptree common stock in your own name, you may revoke any prior proxy or voting instructions, regardless of how your proxy or voting instructions were originally submitted, by: |

| • | sending a written statement to that effect to the Secretary of Tiptree at 660 Steamboat Road, 2nd Floor, Greenwich, Connecticut 06830, which must be received by us by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time on the business day immediately prior to the date of the special meeting; |

| • | submitting a properly signed proxy card dated a later date; |

| • | submitting a later dated proxy via the Internet or by telephone; or |

| • | attending the special meeting virtually and voting your shares of Tiptree common stock. Simply attending the special meeting will
