 the real estate asset management industry at the time. At a meeting held on April 15, 2024, after prior discussions with Lazard, Cravath and
Bridge’s management team, the special committee determined to use Bridge’s management’s market case as the financial projections to be distributed to potentially interested parties in the strategic alternatives process. The special
committee, together with Cravath, also reviewed updated relationship disclosures provided by Lazard with respect to its relationships with Bridge and certain potential counterparties and determined that these relationships would not impede
Lazard’s ability to represent the interests of the special committee.

On April 18, 2024, on behalf of the special committee,
representatives of Lazard and J.P. Morgan distributed a process letter regarding a potential strategic transaction with Bridge to a number of potential counterparties, including certain potential counterparties which Bridge had previously contacted
in connection with a potential private placement financing transaction, which process letter included a deadline of May 28, 2024 for initial indications of interest. Lazard and J.P. Morgan also opened the virtual data room containing
preliminary due diligence information (including the projections previously approved by the special committee for distribution on April 15, 2024) to potential counterparties that had entered into a confidentiality agreement with Bridge. Lazard
and J.P. Morgan collectively contacted 24 potential interested parties, 14 of which entered (or had previously entered) into confidentiality agreements with Bridge, including Bidder B, Bidder C and Bidder D (each, as defined below), each of
which contained a standstill provision. Of the 14 confidentiality agreements, 7 agreements did not prevent the potential investors from making private requests for amendments or waivers of such standstill restrictions.

Throughout the month of May 2024, Lazard and J.P. Morgan facilitated introductory and diligence calls between Bridge and various
counterparties, including Apollo.

On May 9, 2024, with the prior authorization of the special committee, Mr. Slager and another
member of Bridge’s deal team had a telephone conversation with representatives from Apollo to facilitate due diligence on the performance of certain Bridge funds.

On May 24, 2024, the special committee held a meeting with representatives of Cravath and Lazard. The special committee discussed updates
on interactions with potential counterparties since their prior meeting and the current expectations regarding each potential counterparty’s likelihood of submitting an initial indication of interest by the May 28 deadline. The special
committee
