(2) According to Ballard Spahr LLP. (3) According to the Kreischer Miller Family Business Survey. Public Company Opportunity Set • Over 4,000 public companies with less than $30M of EBITDA in the US (1) o Costs and complexities of being public keep rising o Star is a logical aggregator of select micro-caps, where public company and redundant overhead costs can be eliminated, increasing value for shareholders Private Company Opportunity Set • Large subset of high-quality, privately owned small businesses with ownership seeking an exit • Demographic trends such as the “Silver Tsunami” of baby boomer retirements suggest an increase in business ownership transitions o An est. 12 million baby boomers own private businesses in the U.S.; approx. 4 million have annual revenue of $5 - $100M (2) o ~45% of family-owned businesses lack a succession plan (3) Since 2022, Star’s M&A team has completed the following transactions: 1. 2023 sale of Digirad Health, Inc. to PE-owned TTG Imaging Solutions, LLC for $40M 2. Acquisition of three private companies: I. Big Lake Lumber (‘23), Timber Technologies (‘24), Alliance Drilling Tools (‘25) 3. Investment in Servotronics, Inc.

Differentiated Corporate Strategy and Structure 1 Scale quickly and profitably through organic growth 3 5 Have a long-term partnership approach rather than short-term transactional one 2 4 Have flexible holding periods thanks to an open- ended investment time horizon 6Be a logical aggregator of select microcaps that fit Star’s acquisition criteria Similar to private equity, but with key distinctions allowing Star to: Leverage a mix of cash, debt, and common & preferred stock to offer flexible deal structures to counterparties Pursue both private and public acquisition targets, sometimes through activism (1) Medium-term Goals (~5-year) 1.
