As previously disclosed, on September 17, 2025, Paramount Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), Paramount Group Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a subsidiary of the Company (the "Operating Partnership"), Rithm Capital Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Rithm"), Panorama REIT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Rithm ("REIT Merger Sub"), and Panorama Operating Merger Sub LP, a Delaware limited partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of Rithm ("Operating Merger Sub" and, collectively with REIT Merger Sub and Parent, the "Parent Parties"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as subsequently amended, the "Merger Agreement").

The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, (i) Operating Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership surviving the merger (the "Partnership Merger") and (ii) immediately following the consummation of the Partnership Merger, the Company will be merged with and into REIT Merger Sub with REIT Merger Sub surviving the merger (the "Surviving Entity" and such merger, "Company Merger" and, together with the Partnership Merger, the "Mergers"). Upon completion of the Mergers, the Operating Partnership and the Surviving Entity will be indirectly controlled by Parent. The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement were approved and declared advisable by the board of directors of the Company (the "Company Board").

On December 8, 2025, the Company Board approved the following actions relating to compensatory arrangements with certain of the Company's named executive officers and non-employee members of the Company Board:

*Employee Transaction Bonuses* 

The Company Board approved the grant of transaction bonuses to certain key employees of the Company in an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000. The following named executive officers received transaction bonus payments of $950,000, less applicable tax-related deductions and withholdings: Peter Brindley, Executive Vice President, Head of Real Estate and Ermelinda Berberi, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer.

The transaction bonuses were granted pursuant to a transaction bonus letter agreement (each, a "Transaction Bonus Agreement") and will be paid on the earlier to occur of (i) the closing of the proposed mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) June 30, 2026, subject to the applicable executive's continued employment on the applicable vesting date. Payment of the transaction bonus will be subject to the executive's continued compliance with restrictive covenants.

*Director Transaction Retainers* 

In recognition of the time and effort required as a result of the proposed mergers, the Company Board also approved the grant of additional cash retainers in the amount of $100,000 to each member of the Company Board's advisory transaction committee (Paula Sutter, Mark Patterson and Greg Wright), and $50,000 to each other non-employee director of the Company Board (Frederic Arndts, Martin Bussmann, Karin Klein and Hitoshi Saito).

The transaction bonuses will be paid at the closing of the Mergers, generally subject to a non-employee director's continued service through the consummation of the Mergers.
