constitute a quorum at a duly convened meeting of Bridge stockholders and to approve the merger proposal and 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).

or other securities of Bridge) and (e) otherwise does not have any interest or relationship that would interfere with the exercise of their independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of, or that is likely to have an adverse
impact on their
