How do I vote?
You may vote over the Internet, by telephone, by mail or online at the Special Meeting. Please be aware that if you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you
may incur costs such as telephone and Internet access charges for which you will be responsible.
Vote by Internet. You can vote via the
Internet at https://www.cstproxy.com/beneficient/2024. You will need to use the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote via the Internet. You can use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions up until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on
June 19, 2024, which is the day before the meeting date. Internet voting is available 24 hours a day. If you vote via the Internet, you do not need to vote by telephone or return a proxy card.
Vote by Telephone. You can vote by telephone by calling the toll-free telephone number 1-800-450-7155. You will need to use the control number appearing on your proxy card to vote by telephone. You may transmit your voting instructions from any touch-tone

envelope provided to Corporate Secretary, Beneficient, at 325 N. Saint Paul Street, Suite 4850, Dallas, Texas 75201. Please promptly mail your proxy card or voting instruction form to ensure that it is received prior to the closing of the polls
at the Special Meeting.
Vote Online at the Meeting. To vote online during the Special Meeting, you must be logged in and registered to
virtually attend the Special Meeting and cast your vote before the announcement of the close of voting during the Special Meeting. You are entitled to virtually attend the Special Meeting only if you were a stockholder of the Company as of the close
of business on the Record Date or hold a valid proxy for the Special Meeting. If your shares are registered directly in your name, you are considered the stockholder of record and you have the right to vote virtually at the Special Meeting. If your
shares are held in the name of your broker or other nominee, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in street name. As a beneficial owner, if you wish to vote at the Special Meeting, you will need to bring to the Special Meeting a
legal proxy from your broker or other nominee authorizing you to vote those shares.
If you are not a stockholder of record but hold shares through a
broker, bank, trustee or nominee (i.e., in street name), you should provide proof of beneficial ownership as of the Record Date (such as your most recent account statement prior to the Record Date), a copy of the voting instruction form provided by
your broker, bank, trustee or nominee, or similar evidence of ownership.
If you vote by any of the methods discussed above, you will be designating
Gregory W. Ezell or David B. Rost, as your proxy, and they will vote your shares on your behalf as you indicate. Submitting a proxy will not affect your right to attend the Special Meeting and vote virtually.
If your shares are held in the name of a bank, broker or other nominee, you will receive separate voting instructions from your bank, broker or other nominee
describing how to vote your shares. The availability of Internet voting will depend on the voting process of your bank, broker or other nominee. Please check with your bank, broker or other nominee and follow the voting instructions it provides.
