All of the Company's executive officers, directors and nominees listed above are U.S. citizens.

As of the date hereof, we are not subject to any material legal proceedings, nor, to our knowledge, are any material legal proceedings threatened against us or any of our executive officers or directors in their corporate capacity.

We are not aware of any material proceedings in which any director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Enzon Common Stock, or any associate of any such director, officer, affiliate or security holder is a party adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to us or any of our subsidiaries.

#### Number and Terms of Office of Officers and Directors
We currently have four (4) directors. From and after the Closing, we will have seven (7) directors.

Prior to the Closing, any vacancy on the Board of Directors may be filled solely by a majority vote of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum.

Our officers are appointed by the Board and serve at the discretion of the Board, rather than for specific terms of office. Our Board is authorized to appoint persons to the offices set forth in our organizational documents as it deems appropriate. Currently, Enzon has one executive officer, Mr. Richard L. Feinstein, who has served as our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Secretary since 2021.

#### Board Role in Risk Oversight
Our management is responsible for assessing and managing risks in our business, subject to oversight by the Board. The Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's processes for assessing and managing risk. Each of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and the Chairman of our Board, with input as appropriate from other appropriate management members, will report and provide relevant information directly to either the Board and/or the Finance and Audit Committee on various types of identified material financial, reputational, legal, operational and business risks to which the Company is or may be subject, as well as mitigation strategies for relevant risks. The Board focuses on our general risk oversight strategy and understanding the ways in which management proactively manages risks and

------

ensures that appropriate risk mitigation strategies are implemented by management. The Finance and Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in this oversight responsibility in its area of responsibility as described in this Information Statement.

#### Annual Meeting
The Company did not hold an annual general meeting during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

For more information regarding the background to the Merger, please see the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation/Offer to Exchange, which was previously mailed to holders of Enzon Common Stock on or about February 4, 2026.

#### Director Independence
Currently, Messrs. Read, Bleznick, Firestone and Wills are "independent directors" as defined in the applicable exchange listing standards and applicable SEC rules.

#### Committees of the Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors currently has two committees: a Finance and Audit Committee and a Special Committee. Our Finance and Audit Committee is comprised of Mr. Read, who is chairman of the committee, Mr. Firestone and Mr. Wills. Each member of our Finance and Audit Committee is an independent director. Our Board has determined that Mr. Read satisfies the definition of "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. Our Finance and Audit Committee operates under a charter that was approved by our Board of Directors and its primary purpose is to monitor: (i) the integrity of Enzon's financial reporting process and financial statements, (ii) the systems of internal controls and controls over financial reporting, (iii) compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, and (iv) the performance and independence of Enzon's independent registered public accounting firm. The charter of our Finance and Audit Committee is available on our website.

We have not yet determined the composition of the Finance and Audit Committee following the Closing of the Merger. We will announce the composition of the Finance and Audit Committee effective as of the Closing in the Current Report on Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC relating to the Closing of the Merger.

Our Board of Directors believes that, considering our size and limited operations, decisions relating to director nominations can be made on a case-by-case basis by the Board of Directors without the formality of a nominating committee or a nominating committee charter.

Our Special Committee was formed on January 7, 2025, comprised of Messrs. Read and Wills. Given the significant ownership of the IEH Parties in both Enzon and Viskase, and the potential for conflicts of interest, the Enzon Board established the Enzon Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors to, among other things, analyze, evaluate and oversee a potential transaction with Viskase. Each member of the Enzon Special Committee satisfied the applicable criteria for (A) determining director independence from Enzon stockholders and Viskase stockholders, as applicable, under the listing standards of the Nasdaq and (B) being a "disinterested director" (as defined in Section 144(e)(4) of the DGCL). For more information regarding the Special Committee, please see the Prospectus/Consent Solicitation/Offer to Exchange, which was previously mailed to holders of Enzon Common Stock on or about February 4, 2026.

We adopted a Code of Conduct and Corporate Values (the "Code of Conduct") applicable to our directors, officers and employees in accordance with applicable federal securities laws. A copy of the Code of Conduct is available on our website.

#### Insider Trading Policy
We maintain an insider trading policy. We believe our insider trading policy is reasonably designed to promote compliance with applicable insider trading laws, rules and regulations. The insider trading policy

------

governs the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of our securities and applies to all officers, directors, and employees. The Code of Conduct expands the insider trading policies to partners, including family members, relatives or friends. The Code of Conduct also extends the insider trading policy to temporary insiders, i.e., those individuals who have a special confidential relationship in the conduct of our affairs and, as a result, are given access to information solely for our purpose.

#### Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Enzon Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. These reporting persons are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. To the Company's knowledge, during the year ended December 31, 2025, there was no delinquent filer.

#### No Appraisal Rights
Under Delaware law, Enzon stockholders are not entitled to exercise any dissenters' or appraisal rights in connection with the Merger.

#### CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
As of the date hereof, Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("IEH"), through its control of American Entertainment Properties Corp., a Delaware corporation ("AEP"), Icahn Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("IPLP"), and Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, a Delaware limited partnership ("IPMF" and collectively, IEH, AEP, IPLP and IPMF, the "IEH Parties"), beneficially owns approximately (i) 48.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Enzon Common Stock, (ii) 98.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of Enzon Series C Preferred Stock and (iii) 93.97% of the issued and outstanding shares of Viskase Common Stock.

On December 30, 2025, Viskase entered into a securities purchase agreement with AEP, pursuant to which Viskase agreed to issue and sell to AEP in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof (the "December Offering") an aggregate of 17,241,380 shares (the "December Offering Shares") of Viskase Common Stock for a purchase price of $10,000,000.40 or $0.58 per share of Viskase Common Stock. AEP is an Affiliate of IEH. A special committee consisting of independent and disinterested members of the Viskase Board reviewed the December Offering and unanimously recommended that the Viskase Board approve the December Offering and the sale of the December Offering Shares. Viskase intends to use the proceeds from the December Offering for general corporate purposes. The December Offering closed on December 30, 2025.

On January 26, 2026, Viskase entered into a securities purchase agreement with AEP, pursuant to which Viskase agreed to issue and sell to AEP in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) thereof (the "January Offering") an aggregate of 25,862,069 shares (the "January Offering Shares") of Viskase Common Stock for a purchase price of $15,000,000.02 or $0.58 per share of Viskase Common Stock. AEP is an Affiliate of IEH and owns approximately 93.97% of the issued and outstanding shares of Viskase Common Stock. A special committee consisting of independent and disinterested members of the Viskase Board reviewed the January Offering and unanimously recommended that the Viskase Board approve the January Offering and the sale of the January Offering Shares. Viskase intends to use the proceeds from the January Offering for general corporate purposes. The January Offering closed on or about January 26, 2026.

Upon completion of the Merger, Enzon expects that the IEH Parties will hold a substantial majority of the voting power of the Combined Company. Following the Merger, it is expected that the IEH Parties will beneficially own approximately 93.32% of the outstanding shares of the Combined Company Common Stock, assuming all of the Enzon Series C Preferred Stock is exchanged for Shares of Enzon Common Stock. Mr. Icahn is the controlling stockholder and chairman of the board of the general partner of IEH. Because of their substantial ownership and voting power, Mr. Icahn and the IEH Parties may exert significant influence over the management and strategic direction of the Combined Company, including, but not limited to, (i) the declaration of any future dividends, (ii) the ability to control the election, removal or replacement of any one or more members of the board of directors of the Combined Company, (iii) the voting on decisions relating to fundamental corporate actions, consolidations or sales or all or substantially all of the Combined Company's assets and (iv) the ability to control the approval of various transactions. This concentration of ownership may also discourage or prevent a third party from seeking to acquire control of the Combined Company, even if such a transaction might be beneficial to other stockholders. As a result, the interests of Mr. Icahn and the IEH Parties may not always align with the interests of the Combined Company or its other stockholders.

Given the significant ownership of the IEH Parties in both Enzon and Viskase, and the potential for conflicts of interest, (i) the Enzon Board established the Enzon Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors and (ii) the Viskase Board established the Viskase Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors, in each case to, among other things, analyze, evaluate and oversee a potential transaction with the other party. Each member of the Enzon Special Committee and the Viskase Special Committee, as applicable, satisfied the applicable criteria for (A) determining director independence from Enzon stockholders and Viskase stockholders, as applicable, under the listing standards of the Nasdaq and (B) being a "disinterested director" (as defined in Section 144(e)(4) of the DGCL).

Certain of Enzon's and Viskase's executive officers and directors have interests in the Merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of the Enzon stockholders and the Viskase stockholders,

respectively. The members of the Enzon Board and the Enzon Special Committee were aware of and considered these interests, among other matters, in evaluating the Merger Agreement and the Merger, and in unanimously recommending that the Enzon stockholders approve the Merger Proposal.

The Enzon Board has adopted a formal written policy that Enzon will not enter into any "related party transaction" (defined consistent with Item 404 of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) unless the Finance and Audit Committee of Enzon or a comparable committee of disinterested directors of Enzon approves such transaction. No member of the Finance and Audit Committee or comparable committee of Enzon shall participate in the review or approval of any related party transaction or any material amendment thereto where that member is a related party in that transaction. In reviewing and approving any related party transaction or any material amendment thereto, the Finance and Audit Committee or comparable committee of Enzon shall satisfy itself that it has been fully informed as to the related party's relationship and interest and as to the material facts of the proposed related party transaction or material amendment, and shall determine that the related party transaction or material amendment thereto is fair to Enzon. As previously disclosed, in January 2025, the Enzon Board formed the Enzon Special Committee and delegated full authority to the Enzon Special Committee to consider, negotiate and vote upon the Merger Agreement, as well as any strategic alternatives that may be put forth with regard to the Merger Agreement. The Enzon Special Committee is comprised of Messrs. Read and Wills.
