On June 28, 2023, following consultation with internal counsel and Latham & Watkins LLP (“Latham”), who has
historically acted as Bridge’s legal counsel from time to time, the Bridge Board established by unanimous written consent a special committee (the “Initial Special Committee”). The Bridge Board decided to form the Initial Special
