By way of summary, the Receivership Estate consists of, among other things, the Receivership Entities and their holdings, including all assets, property, rights, and interests owned or controlled by those entities. As of March 31, 2025, the current cash2 balance of the Receivership Estate was $1,118,825,845. 3 This Report, which covers the period from January 1, 2025, through March 31, 2025, 4 provides an accounting of the Receivership Estate and discusses certain actions the Receiver has taken or will take pursuant to the Receivership Order to prudently manage the assets entrusted to him. I. Background A. Procedural History On February 4, 2021, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed a civil law enforcement action against GPB, Ascendant Capital, LLC (“Ascendant Capital”), Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC (“AAS”), David Gentile (“Gentile”), Jeffry Schneider 2 For the purposes of this Report, the term “cash” refers to both cash and cash equivalents, unless otherwise specified. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash (e.g., treasury bills, commercial paper, and money market funds). Cash reported at Receivership Entities does not include cash at portfolio companies or non-reporting entities of approx. $6.9 million. 3 All financial data is calculated as of March 31, 2025. 4 The first status report covered the period from December 3, 2024, to January 17, 2025, in terms of receivership accomplishments; however, all data presented in the first status report related solely to the period from December 3 to December 31, 2024. Accordingly, this Second Status Report covers the period from January 1 to March 31, 2025, and presents information that is incremental to the first status report.

Gardemal III was appointed as the Monitor over GPB pursuant to an order entered by the Honorable Margo K.
