Jefferies LLC / January 2023 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only Review of Management Provided Financial Forecast 8

Jefferies LLC / January 2023 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only Management Forecast Assumptions ◼ Market growth assumptions form the basis for revenue throughout the projected period ◼ Investment baskets assume 60% equities / 40% fixed income which form a weighted average market growth rate based on below performance of asset classes: ─ Equities basket comprised of MSCI ex. US and S&P indices grow 2.5% in 2023 and 7% thereafter ─ Fixed income comprised of the AGG index and grows 4% in 2023 and beyond Market Growth ◼ Revenue growth is driven by several factors: ─ Correlation to equities and fixed income markets ─ Non-market correlated revenue growth for RIAs of 5% annually ─ Organic growth of 4% annually ─ Certain subset of affiliates also have business manager fees which grow 7% annually ◼ Acquisitions assume the same equities, fixed income and non-market correlated growth assumptions as existing affiliates ─ With the remaining growth coming from organic growth and business manager fees Revenue Assumptions ◼ SG&A and compensation grow 3% annually throughout the forecast for existing affiliates and new acquisitions ◼ Management fees automatically adjust with profitability of respective partner firms via contractual base and target earnings Expense Assumptions ◼ M&A is based on assumed EBITDA acquired each year which increases from ~$114 million in 2023 to ~$138 million in 2027 ◼ Capital deployed increases from ~$880 million in 2023 to ~$1.5B in 2027 ◼ Blended purchase multiples (New Partners, Mergers, Connectus) of 10x in 2023 through 2024, and 11x in 2025 through 2027 ─ 100% cash consideration for Mergers and Connectus, and 90% for New Partners ─ Purchase price is separated into upfront vs. deferred payments where a portion of the EBITDA multiple is paid at transaction close M&A Expenditures 9

Jefferies LLC / January 2023 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only Management Forecast Assumptions (Cont’d) ◼ Ferdinand went public via an “Up-C” structure in 2018 resulting in two common stock classes: Class A (vote and value) and Class B (vote only) ◼ Class B shares are exchangeable, one-for-one, into Class A shares ◼ On conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares, a tax benefit is created due to a step-up in basis ◼ Company is party to Tax Receivable Agreements (“TRAs”) that pass along 85% of this cash tax benefit to TRA holders (predominantly, pre-IPO owners, including Stone Point and certain members of management) ◼ On a change-in-control, the TRAs can be terminated early by lump-sum payments to TRA holders pursuant to a pre-defined formula (essentially, a present value estimate of future obligations) ─ Current TRA obligations on the balance sheet total ~$221M as of 09/30/22 on a gross, future value basis, based on previous Class B to Class A share exchanges ─ Future exchanges are dependent on several factors including share price at the time of exchange ─ Management estimates that future exchanges of Class B shares could result in additional gross TRA obligation ranging from ~$249M to $325M assuming Ferdinand price per share range of $50.00 to $60.00 ◼ Based on management estimates and an assumption that exchanges occur at a stock price of $50.00 per share, the CoC payments, combined, total ~$294M Up-C Structure and Tax Receivable Agreement Fixed Asset Purchases ◼ Assumes ~$15 million in 2023 to ~$30 million in 2027 ◼ M&A targets are typically a purchase of assets that generate a step-up in tax basis for the Company offering significant future tax shield as the underlying intangible asset is amortized ◼ Model assumes existing and to be created (through future M&A) intangible assets are amortized over a 15-year period creating a cash tax benefit based on an assumed tax rate of 27% Purchase Intangibles Tax Benefit 10

Jefferies LLC / January 2023 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only Tactical Considerations 26

Jefferies LLC / January 2023 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only Tactical Considerations Background ◼ CD&R Proposal History ─ Currently at $50.00 per share (based on 85.1M shares outstanding) ─ Initially proposed $50.00 per share, performed a level of diligence, and then dropped to $45.00 per share (▼10%) ─ After being told not sufficient, raised to $47.50 per share (▲ 5.6%) and re-buffed again before moving to current of $50.00 per share (▲ 5.2% vs. $47.50 and ▲ 11.1% vs. post diligence view of $45.00 per share) ─ Indicated, effectively, “not much gas left in the tank” in conversations with Goldman Sachs ─ Proposal contingent on porting debt financing which requires Stone Point’s support and requested 4 weeks of exclusivity to finalize diligence and negotiate contract in parallel ◼ CD&R Diligence ─ Complete on business and financial diligence ─ Key remaining items include third-party compliance review and site visits/discussions with select large RIAs ◼ Other Parties ─ At Special Committee’s request, bankers contacted 8 parties during the week beginning December 26th; several are negotiating NDAs and are scheduling update calls with management team ─ Includes 7 sponsors and the remaining is a sponsor-owned strategic CD&R Response Alternatives ◼ Reject outright: Read: “The business is not for sale at any price” ─ Consideration: Consistency with decision to call other parties and effort undertaken to review proposal? ◼ Reject with no guidance and no further access: Read: “We are not sellers at your price” ─ Consideration: Likelihood of counterparty bidding another time against themselves with no feedback ◼ Reject with general guidance and offer further access: “We will not sell the business at your price, but we would be willing to engage further to help you see more value in diligence” ─ Consideration: Limited (if any) value related diligence remains for CD&R ◼ Reject with specific guidance: “We are not sellers at your price and you would need to be at $X.XX per share to continue discussions. On that basis, we would be willing to provide final diligence and negotiate a contract with you” ─ Consideration: Pricing the business ◼ Accept and proceed with final diligence and contract negotiations: “We are willing to proceed on the basis of your last proposal” ─ Consideration: Does not ascertain whether last proposal is best and final Stronger Messaging 27

Jefferies LLC / January 2023 Preliminary draft for discussion purposes only Tactical Considerations (Cont’d) Other Considerations ◼ To get to actionable bids, other parties will need to undertake diligence and potentially secure committed financing depending on Stone Point’s willingness to partner with other sponsors (e.g., debt portability) which may take some time ─ For example, most – if not all - parties contacted have highlighted the need to better understand organic growth as a priority diligence matter ─ CD&R has spent considerable time, money and energy studying organic growth in recent months and re-producing CD&R’s comfort-level with other parties is not trivial ─ Albeit at a higher cost due to break-fees, other bidders will have the opportunity to pursue a transaction with Ferdinand if CD&R and Ferdinand agree and announce a deal ◼ As CD&R asked for exclusivity in latest letter, we should expect any counter from CD&R to our response to demand exclusivity ◼ May consider whether, if pushed, CD&R will finalize diligence and negotiate a contract without exclusivity Precedent Go-Shop Prevalence(1) Precedent Exclusivity Grants(1) In 12 of the 14 transactions with exclusivity granted, seller utilized either or both a market check and go-shop mechanism No 64% Yes 36% CD&R Precedent Take Privates Target / Deal Value / Year % Change from Initial Offer Exclusivity Granted? $3.9B 2022 $5.8B 2022 $4.6B 2022 $2.2B 2018 Deal Price per share / Premium $21.00/ 39%(2) $24.65/ 75%(3) $16.00/ 30%(4) $21.64/ 20%(5) ▲ 12% ▲ 10% ▲ 8% ▼ 13% --- ✓ --- --- --- Go-Shop?
