LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS OF MOUNT LOGAN CAPITAL INC.

Dear Mount Logan Capital Inc. (“Mount Logan”) shareholders,

The Mergers:

On January 16, 2025, Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York (“180 Degree Capital”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, together with Yukon New Parent, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of 180 Degree Capital (“New Parent”), Polar Merger Sub, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (“TURN Merger Sub”), and Moose Merger Sub, LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Parent (“MLC Merger Sub”), to combine 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan under a new publicly traded company, New Parent (the “Business Combination”). If the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated, New Parent will change its registered name with the Secretary of State of Delaware to “Mount Logan Capital Inc.” (and hereafter referred to as “New Mount Logan” in the accompanying joint proxy statement/prospectus) and will become a newly-listed public company on Nasdaq trading under the symbol “MLCI.”

The Merger Agreement provides for, subject to the terms and conditions therein: (i) the merger of TURN Merger Sub with and into 180 Degree Capital, with 180 Degree Capital being the surviving company, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan (the “TURN Merger”); and (ii) the merger of MLC Merger Sub with and into Mount Logan, with Mount Logan being the surviving company, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan (the “MLC Merger,” and together with the TURN Merger, the “Mergers”).

On July 6, 2025, 180 Degree Capital, Mount Logan, New Mount Logan, Polar Merger Sub, and Moose Merger Sub entered into the Merger Agreement Amendment in order to broaden the scope of eligible Nasdaq market tiers on which New Mount Logan may list its shares following the Business Combination and to make certain technical changes relating to the domestication process from Canada for Mount Logan as part of the Business Combination.

Immediately prior to the Mergers (and as a condition to closing of the Mergers), if approved by the Mount Logan shareholders, Mount Logan will domesticate from the Province of Ontario, Canada to the state of Delaware (the “MLC Domestication”). Accordingly, Mount Logan shareholders who are in favor of the Business Combination should vote in favor of the resolution in respect of the MLC Domestication.

The Consideration:

If the Mergers are completed, shareholders of each of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital will receive approximately 7,800,000 and 5,200,000 newly issued shares of common stock of New Mount Logan, respectively, based on the ratio of Mount Logan’s transaction equity value at signing of $67.4 million, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments, relative to the net asset value of 180 Degree Capital at closing. Based on the estimated net asset value of 180 Degree Capital as of July 8, 2025, the estimated pro forma post-Mergers shareholder ownership of New Mount Logan would be approximately 60% for current Mount Logan shareholders and 40% for current 180 Degree Capital shareholders. For more information on the consideration to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Mergers including in respect of the estimated pro forma post-Mergers shareholder ownership of New Mount Logan, see the section entitled “The Mergers - Merger Consideration” and “Risk Factors - Risk Relating to the Mergers.

The Meeting:

Mount Logan will hold a special meeting of their shareholders to vote on the MLC Domestication and the resolutions (the “Proposals”) necessary to complete the Mergers. Such special meeting is referred to as the “MLC Special Meeting.”



At the MLC Special Meeting, Mount Logan shareholders will be asked to vote on the following in respect of the Business Combination:
Proposal No. 1 - Business Combination Proposal: a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the MLC Merger;
Proposal No. 2 – Plan of Arrangement and Domestication Proposal: a proposal to approve the Arrangement Resolution involving, among other things, the continuance of Mount Logan from Ontario to the State of Delaware; and
Proposal No. 3 - New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal: a proposal to approve the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan of New Mount Logan.
The Mount Logan board of directors (the “Mount Logan Board”) has unanimously determined that each of the MLC Domestication, the MLC Merger, and any other matters required to be approved or adopted by the Mount Logan shareholders in connection therewith, including the adoption of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan by New Mount Logan is advisable and in the best interests of Mount Logan and its shareholders. It is expected that the board of directors of New Mount Logan will approve and ratify the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan of New Mount Logan post-Closing before any grants or issuances are made thereunder. The Mount Logan Board unanimously recommends that Mount Logan shareholders vote “FOR” THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL, “FOR” THE PLAN OF ARRANGEMENT PROPOSAL, and “FOR” THE NEW MOUNT LOGAN INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL.
We urge you to read the enclosed joint proxy statement/prospectus, including the Annexes, carefully and in their entirety, as they include important information about the Business Combination. In particular, we urge you to carefully read the section titled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 37 of the enclosed joint proxy statement/prospectus for a description of the risks that you should consider in evaluating the Business Combination.

Your vote is very important. We cannot complete the Business Combination unless Mount Logan shareholders approve the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger. Whether or not you expect to attend the MLC Special Meeting, the details of which are described in the enclosed joint proxy statement/prospectus, please immediately submit your proxy by the Internet or by completing, signing, dating and returning your signed instrument of proxy in the enclosed prepaid return envelope.

Any Mount Logan shareholder with questions or who requires assistance in voting their shares should contact Mount Logan’s transfer agent for the MLC Special Meeting, toll-free at 1 (888) 290-1175 (within North America) or 1 (587) 885-0960 (outside of North America).

The 180 Degree Capital board of directors (the “180 Degree Capital Board”), on the recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, comprised solely of the 180 Degree Capital Independent Directors, has unanimously determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination, the issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in connection with the Mergers, and the adoption of the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan by New Mount Logan, are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders; has unanimously approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination and the issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in connection with the Mergers.

Pursuant to the Interim Order, registered holders of common shares of Mount Logan (“MLC Common Shares”) have the right to dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and, if the Arrangement (as defined in the accompanying Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus) becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of their MLC Common Shares in accordance with the provisions of section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court.

Shareholders that have any questions or need additional information with respect to the voting of their MLC Common Shares should consult their financial, legal, tax or other professional advisors.

Q:    What vote is required to approve the Mount Logan proposals in respect of the Business Combination?

MLC Shareholders should be aware that under Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA that will be effective concurrently with the MLC Domestication after the conversion of MLC Delaware from a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL to a limited liability company existing under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act until the Effective Time of the MLC Merger, no approval of the members of MLC Delaware will be required to approve the MLC Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA and the Plan of Domestication, effective concurrently with the MLC Domestication, the existing directors of Mount Logan will become the initial managers of MLC Delaware (the “Initial Managers”). Immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA, all the Initial Managers, except for Mr. Goldthorpe, will cease being managers of MLC Delaware and, in accordance with Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware LLC Act, Mr. Goldthorpe will be empowered to provide all required approvals and authorizations necessary to effectuate the MLC Merger. Assuming all conditions in the Merger Agreement required for consummation of the MLC Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived (including approval of the MLC Merger Resolution by the MLC Shareholders), Mr. Goldthorpe, as Manager of MLC Delaware, will cause MLC Delaware to effectuate the MLC Merger following the MLC Domestication (and, for greater clarity, after the conversion of MLC Delaware from a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL to a limited liability company under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing features of the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA, Mount Logan will ask MLC Shareholders to approve at the MLC Special Meeting the MLC Merger as part of the Business Combination.

To be effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved at the MLC Special Meeting by at least 66 and 2/3% of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by MLC Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the MLC Special Meeting.

Q:    As a 180 Degree Capital shareholder, what constitutes a “quorum”?
A:    The 180 Degree Capital By-Laws provide that at any meeting of the 180 Degree Capital shareholders, the holders of a majority of the shares of stock then entitled to vote shall constitute a quorum for all purposes.

3

Q:    As a MLC Shareholder, what constitutes a “quorum”?
A:    The by-laws of Mount Logan provide that two persons present (either in person or virtually) each being a shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, or a duly appointed proxyholder for an absent shareholder entitled to vote at the meeting, and holding or representing by proxy, not less than 5% of the total number of the issued shares of Mount Logan, shall constitute a quorum.

Q:    What will happen if there are not enough votes to have the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting?
A:    If there are not sufficient votes to have a quorum at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting may be adjourned from time to time without notice other than announcement at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting so that 180 Degree Capital can continue to seek more votes.

Q:    What will happen if there are not enough votes to have the MLC Special Meeting?

Q:    As a 180 Degree Capital shareholder, how are “abstentions” treated?
A:    Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. Abstentions will not count as affirmative votes cast and will therefore have the same effect as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal and the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal.
Q:    Who will pay for the proxy solicitation?
A:    Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital will each bear the cost of the solicitation related to the Proposals, including any costs directly associated with preparing, printing and mailing this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and proxy card to MLC Shareholders and 180 Degree Capital shareholders, respectively. For additional details regarding the treatment of Shared Expenses, which includes the foregoing expenses, please see the section titled “The Merger Agreement - Merger Consideration.” 180 Degree Capital intends to use the services of EQ Funds Solutions, LLC to aid in the distribution and collection of proxy votes for an estimated fee of $70,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or employees for such services.

Q:    Are any of the proposals contingent upon the approval of other proposals, and what happens if some, but not all, of the proposals are approved by 180 Degree Capital shareholders?
A:    Yes. The Business Combination Proposal and the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal are cross-conditioned on the approval of the other, as well as on the approval of the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger Resolution by the MLC Shareholders at the MLC Special Meeting. The New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If 180 Degree Capital shareholders do not approve the Business Combination Proposal, the 180 Degree Capital Board will consider what further actions to take, including adjourning the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting to a later date and making a reasonable effort to solicit sufficient support for the Business Combination Proposal. If, following such adjournment, the 180 Degree Capital Board determines that the approval of the Business Combination Proposal is unlikely to occur, the 180 Degree Capital Board will consider alternatives. To avoid additional costs to 180 Degree Capital associated with seeking such
4

alternatives, the 180 Degree Capital Board is recommending that 180 Degree Capital shareholders approve the Business Combination Proposal.

Please note that if 180 Degree Capital shareholders do not approve the Business Combination Proposal, 180 Degree Capital will not move forward with the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal or the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.

Q:    Are any of the proposals contingent upon the approval of other proposals, and what happens if some, but not all, of the proposals are approved by MLC Shareholders?

Please note that if MLC Shareholders do not approve the Arrangement Resolution, Mount Logan will not move forward with the MLC Merger Resolution or the Incentive Plan Resolution, and the Business Combination will not be completed.

There can be no assurance that any permits, consents, approvals, confirmations or authorizations will be obtained or that such permits, consents, approvals, confirmations or authorizations will not impose conditions or requirements that, individually or in the aggregate, would or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of New Mount Logan following the Mergers.

Q:    Are the Mergers expected to be taxable events for MLC Shareholders for U.S. and Canadian federal income tax purposes?
A:    No. The Mergers are intended to qualify as tax-free for both U.S. and Canadian federal income tax purposes. This means it is expected that MLC Shareholders (other than Dissenting MLC Shareholders) will recognize no gain or loss for both U.S. and Canadian federal income tax purposes as a result of the Mergers (subject to the limitations and qualification set forth under “The Mergers - Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers” and “The Mergers - Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences”).
Q:    As a 180 Degree Capital shareholder, how will the Deregistration affect me?
A:    180 Degree Capital is currently registered under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act, among other things, (i) regulates the composition of the 180 Degree Capital Board; (ii) regulates the capital structure of 180 Degree Capital by limiting the issuance of senior equity and debt securities and limiting the issuance of stock options, rights and warrants and limits 180 Degree Capital’s ability to obtain leverage through derivative instruments; (iii) prohibits certain transactions between 180 Degree Capital and affiliated persons, including directors and officers of 180 Degree Capital or affiliated companies, unless such transactions are exempted by the SEC; (iv) prohibits the issuance of common stock at less than net asset value; (v) regulates the form, content and frequency of financial reports to shareholders; (vi) requires 180 Degree Capital to carry its assets at fair value rather than at cost in financial reports; (vii) requires that 180 Degree Capital file with the SEC periodic reports designed to disclose compliance with the 1940 Act and to present other financial information; (viii) prohibits 180 Degree Capital from changing the nature of its business or fundamental investment policies without the prior approval of its shareholders; (ix) restricts pyramiding of investment companies and the cross ownership of securities; (x) provides for the custody of securities and bonding of certain employees; (xi) prohibits voting trusts; (xii) provides that no securities may be issued for services or for property other than cash or securities except as a dividend or a distribution to security holders or in connection with a reorganization; (xiii) regulates the manner in which repurchases of TURN Common Shares may be effected; (xiv) regulates plans of reorganization, including mergers with affiliates; (xv) provides for enforcement by the SEC of the 1940 Act through administrative proceedings and court actions; (xvi) creates a right in private persons to bring injunctive and damage actions in federal courts to enforce compliance with certain limited provisions of the 1940 Act; (xvii) requires 180 Degree Capital to have a written code of ethics and compliance policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of federal securities laws and a chief compliance officer charged with administering these policies; and (xviii) prohibits 180 Degree Capital from limiting the liability of any director and officer for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless regard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.
After Deregistration, 180 Degree Capital would no longer be subject to the foregoing regulation, all of which is designed to protect the interests of shareholders. Instead, 180 Degree Capital will be wholly-owned by New Mount Logan and, for purposes of the 1940 Act, will be excluded from the definition of an “investment company” by Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and shareholders of New Mount Logan who indirectly own interests in 180 Degree Capital will no longer be afforded the regulatory protections of the 1940 Act.
Your vote is very important. We encourage you as a 180 Degree Capital shareholder or MLC Shareholder to authorize a proxy to vote your shares as soon as possible. If enough 180 Degree Capital shareholders or MLC Shareholders fail to cast their votes at the applicable Special Meeting, 180 Degree Capital and/or Mount Logan may not be able to hold the applicable Special Meeting or the vote on each proposal and will be required to incur additional solicitation costs in order to obtain sufficient shareholder participation.

The following organizational chart shows the transactions contemplated by the Mergers and the ownership structure of New Mount Logan following the completion of the Mergers:
Pre-Mergers:

12


Post-Mergers:

screenshot2025-05x01at9235a.jpg

Also following the completion of the Mergers, 180 Degree Capital plans to deregister as a closed-end investment company registered under the 1940 Act with the SEC.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the TURN Merger, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TURN Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of 180 Degree Capital, and (ii) each TURN Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the TURN Exchange Ratio, subject to the treatment of fractional shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement (see the “Merger Agreement – Merger Consideration”). By virtue of the applicable Merger all of the Excluded Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, without any payment or consideration therefor.
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the MLC Merger, (i) each unit representing a membership interest in MLC Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) unit representing a membership interest in Mount Logan, and (ii) each MLC Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective time but, for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the MLC Domestication and, other than any Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the MLC Exchange Ratio, subject to the treatment of fractional shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement (see “Merger Agreement – Merger Consideration”). At the Effective Time, all of the Excluded Shares will no longer be outstanding and will be automatically cancelled and cease to exist, without any payment or consideration therefor.
If the relative NAVs of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan would result in either the TURN NAV Multiplier being greater than 50%, such that (i) shareholders of 180 Degree Capital would own in the aggregate more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time or (ii) any shareholder of 180 Degree Capital would be expected to own 25% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time, 180 Degree Capital will, prior to Closing and subject to the prior approval of Mount Logan, make in-kind distributions to its shareholders such that the TURN NAV Multiplier is less than 50% or such shareholder would not be entitled to 25% or more of the issued and outstanding New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time, as applicable.
13

No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and any fractional shares to which an applicable holder of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares would otherwise be entitled will be aggregated as to each such holder and such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock.
180 Degree Capital does not expect to realize capital gains from the disposition of securities prior to the completion of the Mergers outside of the ordinary course of its business or its historical rate of investment turnover. The transaction costs of any such dispositions in the ordinary course of business are expected to be substantially similar to its historical transaction costs for such open-market trades. 180 Degree Capital has not historically distributed, and currently does not plan to initiate any distributions of, capital gains as it is in an undistributed loss position and does not currently anticipate that dispositions completed prior to the Mergers will result in it being in an undistributed gain position.

In addition, while no definitive timing for sale of the portfolio investments presently held by 180 Degree Capital has been determined, it is expected that New Mount Logan will undertake an orderly disposition of such portfolio investments subsequent to closing of the Mergers. In addition, New Mount Logan may transfer any such portfolio investments out from under 180 Degree Capital after completion of the Mergers in order to facilitate its deregistration under the 1940 Act.

Risk Factors

The Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are subject to, among others, the following risks that are discussed in detail in the section entitled, “Risk Factors.” 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders should carefully consider these risks before deciding how to vote on the Proposals to be voted on at their respective Special Meetings.

Risks Relating to the Mergers

180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders will experience a reduction in percentage ownership and voting power in New Mount Logan as a result of the Business Combination.
Sales of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock after the completion of the Business Combination may cause the market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock to decline.
Because the market price and the NAV per share of TURN Common Shares and the MLC Common Shares will fluctuate, 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Merger Consideration they will receive in connection with the Mergers.
New Mount Logan may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Business Combination, or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.
Any delay in completing the Business Combination may reduce or eliminate the benefits expected to be achieved thereunder.
The Business Combination may trigger certain “anti-assignment” provisions and other restrictions in contracts of 180 Degree Capital, Mount Logan and/or their affiliates and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact New Mount Logan.
The opinion delivered to the 180 Degree Capital Board and the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee by the financial advisor to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee prior to the signing of the Merger Agreement will not reflect changes in circumstances since the date of the opinions.
The announcement and pendency of the proposed Business Combination could adversely affect each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business, financial results and operations.
If the Business Combination does not close, neither 180 Degree Capital nor Mount Logan will benefit from the expenses incurred in pursuit of the Business Combination.
The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan.
14

The Merger Agreement limits the ability of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan to pursue alternatives to the Business Combination.
The Business Combination is subject to closing conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, that, if not satisfied or (to the extent legally allowed) waived, will result in the Business Combination not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business and operations.
Litigation filed against 180 Degree Capital and/or Mount Logan in connection with the Business Combination could result in substantial costs and could delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.
180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will be subject to operational uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending.
180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan may, to the extent legally allowed, waive one or more conditions to the Business Combination without resoliciting shareholder approval.
The shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to be received by 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights associated with them than TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares currently held by them.
The market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock after the Business Combination may be affected by factors different from those affecting TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares currently.
180 Degree Capital shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination.
The Mergers may not be treated as a tax-free exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code.
The tax treatment of the Mergers for U.S. holders of MLC Warrants is uncertain.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, current 180 Degree Capital shareholders will no longer have the benefit of the protections afforded to equity holders of registered investment companies under the 1940 Act.

Risks Relating to Mount Logan and New Mount Logan

A portion of New Mount Logan’s revenues, earnings and cash flow is expected to be highly variable, which may make it difficult for it to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and may cause the price of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to be volatile.
New Mount Logan will operate in highly competitive industries, which could limit its ability to achieve its growth strategies.
New Mount Logan will rely on technology and information systems (including those of BCPA through its expected Servicing Agreement (as defined and described below) with BCPA), some of which are expected to be controlled by third-party vendors, to maintain the security of its information and technology networks and to conduct its businesses.
New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows will depend on the accuracy of its management’s assumptions and estimates.
Some of the funds ML Management manages invest in illiquid assets, and some of the investments of New Mount Logan’s insurance business are expected to be relatively illiquid.
New Mount Logan will rely on the financing markets for the operation of its business.
New Mount Logan, and particularly its insurance business, may acquire various financial instruments for purposes of “hedging” or reducing its risks, which may be costly and ineffective and could reduce its cash available for distribution to its shareholders.
15

Difficult political, market or economic conditions may adversely affect New Mount Logan’s businesses in many ways.
Changes in laws or regulations governing New Mount Logan’s operations may adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business or cause New Mount Logan to alter its business strategy.
Any changes in tax regulations or tax reform may have an adverse impact on investors and policyholders.
There can be no guarantee as to the timing or amount of dividends, and shareholders may not receive dividends.
New Mount Logan will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a U.S. public company.
If New Mount Logan fails to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, its ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
Any misconduct by Mount Logan’s current and former, and New Mount Logan’s future, employees, directors, advisers, third-party service providers or others affiliated with New Mount Logan could harm New Mount Logan.
New Mount Logan will rely on BCPA and Key BCPA Personnel.
New Mount Logan’s expected relationship with BCPA will result in significant actual and potential conflicts of interest that could impact New Mount Logan’s business.
BCPA will be able to terminate the Staffing Agreement (as defined and described below) and Servicing Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice, and New Mount Logan, which is expected to have a limited number of employees, may not be able to find a suitable replacement for such services provided under those agreements within that time.
Because New Mount Logan’s business model will depend upon relationships with various counterparties, the inability of BCPA to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate business opportunities, could adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business.
The asset management business is competitive.
New Mount Logan may be subject to focus by certain current or prospective clients or other stakeholders on environmental, social and governance matters.
Valuations for illiquid assets under management entail significant complications.
New Mount Logan, through ML Management, may only manage a limited number of funds and investments.
New Mount Logan’s insurance business will be heavily regulated and changes in regulation could reduce New Mount Logan’s profitability.
Ability operates in a highly competitive industry that includes a number of companies, many of which are larger and more well-known, which could limit Ability’s capacity to increase or maintain market share and/or margins.
Differences between Ability’s policyholder behavior estimates, reserve assumptions and actual claims experience, in particular with respect to the timing and magnitude of claims and surrenders, may adversely affect Ability’s results of operations or financial condition.
Ability’s historical growth rates may not be indicative of its future growth, and Ability may not be able to identify attractive insurance markets, reinsurance opportunities or investments with returns that are as favorable as Ability’s historical returns and grow new business volumes at historical levels.
Interest rate fluctuations could negatively affect the income Ability derives from the difference between the interest rates it earns on its investments and interest it pays under its reinsurance contracts.
16

Ability faces risks associated with business it reinsures and business it cedes to reinsurers.
The determination of the amount of impairments and allowances for credit losses recognized on Ability’s investments is highly subjective.
Ability’s liabilities for insurance products may prove to be inadequate, requiring Ability to increase liabilities which results in reduced net income and shareholders’ equity.
Ability is subject to regulatory capital requirements in the United States.
Ability faces risks from borrower clients.
Second priority liens on collateral securing debt investments that Ability makes may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and Ability.
Ability is subject to additional risks associated with investments in the form of loan participation interests.
Ability may not be able to exercise control over borrower clients.
Use of leverage and changes in interest rates may affect Ability’s cost of capital and net investment income.
Risks relating to 180 Degree Capital

180 Degree Capital’s shares of common stock are trading at a discount to net asset value and may continue to do so in the future.
Regulations governing 180 Degree Capital’s operation as a registered closed-end fund (“CEF”) may limit 180 Degree Capital’s ability to raise additional capital, as well as the way in which it does so, which could have a material adverse impact on 180 Degree Capital’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.
180 Degree Capital is a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and, therefore, is not limited with respect to the proportion of 180 Degree Capital’s assets that may be invested in securities of a single issuer.
When 180 Degree Capital is a debt or minority equity investor in a portfolio company, 180 Degree Capital is often not in a position to exert influence on the entity, and other equity holders and management of the company may make decisions that could decrease the value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio holdings.
180 Degree Capital’s business model depends upon the development and maintenance of strong referral relationships with asset managers, investment banking firms and other entities active in working with small publicly traded companies.
180 Degree Capital’s equity securities may be affected by general economic and market conditions.
180 Degree Capital’s financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if a significant investment fails to perform as expected.
The value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio is subject to greater volatility than the value of companies with more broadly diversified investments.
180 Degree Capital may expose itself to risks if it engages in hedging transactions.
Quarterly results fluctuate and are not indicative of future quarterly performance.
Investment in foreign securities could result in additional risks.
180 Degree Capital’s strategy of writing covered calls and buying put options on public portfolio company securities held by it could result in it receiving a lower return for such investments than if it had not employed such a strategy.
17

Investing in 180 Degree Capital’s stock is highly speculative and an investor could lose some or all of the amount invested.
180 Degree Capital’s ability to enter into transactions with its affiliates is restricted.
180 Degree Capital’s business may be adversely affected by the small size of 180 Degree Capital’s market capitalization.
180 Degree Capital is dependent upon key management personnel for future success, and may not be able to retain them.
The failure of cyber-security systems, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated by 180 Degree Capital’s disaster recovery systems and management continuity planning, could impair 180 Degree Capital’s ability to conduct business effectively.
180 Degree Capital is dependent on information systems and systems failures could disrupt 180 Degree Capital’s business, which may, in turn, negatively affect the market price of TURN Common Shares.
180 Degree Capital is subject to risks associated with its strategy of increasing assets under management by raising third-party funds to manage.
Ineffective internal controls could impact 180 Degree Capital’s business and operating results.
180 Degree Capital may in the future choose to pay dividends in TURN Common Shares, in which case 180 Degree Capital shareholders may be required to pay tax in excess of the cash they receive.
180 Degree Capital is authorized to issue preferred stock, which would convey special rights and privileges to its owners that are senior to those of common stock shareholders.
Bank borrowing or the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock by 180 Degree Capital, to fund investments in portfolio companies or to fund 180 Degree Capital’s operating expenses, would make 180 Degree Capital’s total return to holders of TURN Common Shares more volatile.
The need to satisfy certain asset diversification, gross income, and distributions requirements applicable to a RIC may limit investment flexibility of 180 Degree Capital.
Failure to qualify as a RIC could reduce 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value and distributable income.
A deemed dividend election could affect the value of TURN Common Shares.
180 Degree Capital operates in a heavily regulated environment, and changes to, or non-compliance with, regulations and laws could harm 180 Degree Capital’s business.
Market prices of TURN Common Shares will continue to be volatile.
Governmental interventions may impact 180 Degree Capital’s investment strategies.
180 Degree Capital’s compensation structure as an internally managed registered CEF could be materially different than 180 Degree Capital’s compensation structure if 180 Degree Capital was externally managed.
Future sales of TURN Common Shares in the public market, if any, could cause 180 Degree Capital’s stock price to fall.
A 180 Degree Capital shareholder has no right to require 180 Degree Capital to repurchase their shares.

Voting and Support Agreements

The directors and executive officers of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital as well as certain of their shareholders have entered into Voting and Support Agreements pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms thereof, they have agreed to vote their MLC Common Shares and TURN Common Shares in favor of the Business Combination.

180 Degree Capital’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board

The 180 Degree Capital Board consulted with 180 Degree Capital’s management as well as its legal and other advisors and considered numerous factors and, as a result, unanimously recommends that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal, “FOR” the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.
Certain material factors considered by the 180 Degree Capital Board that favored the conclusion of the 180 Degree Capital Board that the TURN Merger is in 180 Degree Capital’s best interests and the best interests of 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders included, among others:
New Mount Logan is expected to benefit from: increased access to additional capital, a strengthened balance sheet, and increased analyst coverage as a result of its listing on a US exchange;
Meaningful scaling and further diversification of business, as well as increased liquidity of public equity;
Accelerated expansion of sourcing investments in the public markets;
Mount Logan’s business model is highly complementary to 180 Degree Capital’s business model;
The support of services that is expected to be provided by BCPA, which provides administrative services that leverage BCPA’s capabilities, strength, resources and scale as a global credit firm;
An attractive valuation relative to industry comparables;
The expectation that the Mergers will result in a compelling business model built on predictable earnings growth supported by durable fee and spread related earnings;
The opinion of Fenchurch, the financial advisor to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, as more fully described in the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of 180 Degree Capital’s Financial Advisor”;
That the TURN Merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
The absence of an adverse impact on New Mount Logan’s regulatory obligations; and
The Mergers are subject to the approval of the shareholders of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan.

In subsequently approving the Merger Agreement Amendment, the 180 Degree Capital Board generally considered the fact that the nature of the changes to the Merger Agreement was primarily technical in nature and did not materially alter either the Business Combination or the consideration to be received under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the above factors continued to apply to the Merger Agreement, as amended by the Merger Agreement Amendment.

The foregoing list does not include all the factors that the 180 Degree Capital Board considered in approving the proposed Business Combination and the Merger Agreement and recommending that the 180 Degree Capital shareholders approve Merger Agreement and the proposed Business Combination. For a further discussion of the material factors considered by the 180 Degree Capital Board in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement (as amended or modified) and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (as amended or
19

modified), including the Business Combination, see the sections entitled “The Mergers—180 Degree Capital’s Reasons for the Mergers and “Recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board.”
Mount Logan’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Mount Logan Board

The Mount Logan Board consulted with Mount Logan’s management as well as its legal and other advisors and considered numerous factors and, as a result, the Mount Logan Board, including its independent directors, determined that the MLC Merger is in Mount Logan’s best interests and the best interests of Mount Logan’s shareholders.

Certain material factors considered by the Mount Logan Board, including its independent directors, that favored the conclusion of the Mount Logan Board that the MLC Merger is in Mount Logan’s best interests and the best interests of Mount Logan’s shareholders included, among others:

180 Degree Capital’s track record of investing in public markets and its deep network of relationships, which are expected to help further expand New Mount Logan’s business;
New Mount Logan will have a larger balance sheet that will support future investment;
the Business Combination will result in continuity of the management team, with Mount Logan’s current CEO, Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe, expected to serve as Chairman and CEO of New Mount Logan, and Mount Logan will be entitled to appoint four independent directors (as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2)) on New Mount Logan’s seven-person board;
MLC Shareholders will receive proportionate ownership of New Mount Logan determined by reference to Mount Logan’s $67.4 million transaction equity value at signing of the Merger Agreement, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments, relative to 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value at Closing; 
the expected tax treatment of the MLC Merger;
support of the Business Combination from directors, officers and shareholders of Mount Logan who collectively held approximately 29% of the outstanding MLC Common Shares as of January 16, 2025;
Mount Logan’s ability to respond to an unsolicited bona fide written proposal that is or is reasonably likely to lead to an MLC Superior Proposal;
the implied breakeven return on equity to shareholders of Mount Logan taking into account the economics and structuring of the Business Combination, which the Mount Logan Board believed would be positive if the Business Combination is completed;
the vigilance, patience and prudence of the Mount Logan management team in evaluating similar transactions;
the Merger Agreement is the result of an arm’s length negotiation process and has been unanimously recommended by the Mount Logan Board, including independent directors;
the required approvals of the shareholders of Mount Logan to the Business Combination is protective of their rights;
shareholders of Mount Logan who do not vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution will have dissent rights with respect to the Arrangement pursuant to the OBCA and the Interim Order;
the potential for Mount Logan to deliver near and long term value to shareholders of Mount Logan as a result of the Business Combination, when compared to not consummating the Business Combination;
the uncertainty surrounding Mount Logan’s ability to raise required financing if the Business Combination is not consummated;
the absence of required material regulatory approvals, other than customary regulatory approvals;
20

the requirement that 180 Degree Capital pay Mount Logan’s cost and expenses, up to $1,000,000, in certain circumstances if the Merger Agreement is terminated; and
Mount Logan’s preexisting connections to the United States.
In subsequently approving the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Mount Logan Board generally considered the fact that the nature of the changes to the Merger Agreement was primarily technical in nature and did not materially alter either the Business Combination or the consideration to be received under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the above factors continued to apply to the Merger Agreement, as amended by the Merger Agreement Amendment.

The foregoing list does not include all the factors that the Mount Logan Board considered in approving the Merger Agreement and recommending that MLC Shareholders approve the Merger Agreement, the MLC Domestication and the Business Combination as a whole. For a further discussion of the material factors considered by the Mount Logan Board, see “The Merger— Mount Logan's Reasons for the Merger.”

Opinion of 180 Degree Capital’s Financial Advisor
In connection with the Business Combination, Fenchurch rendered to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee on January 16, 2025 its oral opinion, and confirmed its oral opinion by delivering to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee its written opinion, dated January 16, 2025, as discussed in more detail in the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of 180 Degree Capital’s Financial Advisor,” to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth therein, the January Exchange Ratio (as defined on page 129) is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TURN Common Shares, other than the Excluded Shares. The full text of Fenchurch’s opinion, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken by Fenchurch in preparing the opinion, is attached as Annex B to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. Fenchurch’s written opinion was addressed to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee (in their capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of their evaluation of the proposed Transaction, was directed only to the January Exchange Ratio and did not address any other aspect of the Transaction. Fenchurch expressed no opinion as to the underlying decision by 180 Degree Capital to engage in the Transaction or enter into the Agreement. Fenchurch’s opinion did not constitute a recommendation to the 180 Degree Capital Board or the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee in connection with the Transaction, and it does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of 180 Degree Capital or of any other entity as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.

Interests of 180 Degree Capital’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

In considering the recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board, 180 Degree Capital shareholders should be aware that 180 Degree Capital directors and executive officers may have certain interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of 180 Degree Capital shareholders generally. The members of the 180 Degree Capital Board were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Merger Agreement and recommend to the 180 Degree Capital shareholders that they vote to approve the Business Combination Proposal at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting. These interests include:

Interests of Mount Logan’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers

In considering the recommendation of the Mount Logan Board, MLC Shareholders should be aware that Mount Logan directors and executive officers may have certain interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of MLC Shareholders generally.

These interests include:

Management of New Mount Logan

New Mount Logan’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of its Board of Directors (the “New Mount Logan Board”). At the time the Mergers are consummated, the New Mount Logan Board will consist of seven members, six of whom will qualify as “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 605(a)(2) (each such qualifying director, an “Independent Director”). The New Mount Logan Board appoints New Mount Logan’s officers, who serve at the discretion of the New Mount Logan Board. Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe is expected to serve as Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of New Mount Logan. Mr. Goldthorpe is the Partner in charge of the Global Credit Business for BCPA. Henry Wang will serve as president of New Mount Logan and is a partner in the Global Credit Business for BCPA. Nikita Klassen will serve as the Chief Financial Officer of New Mount Logan and is a Senior Credit Controller at BCPA. David Held will serve as Chief Compliance Officer of New Mount Logan and holds the same position at BCPA. Mount Logan does not expect Matthias Ederer, currently Co-President of Mount Logan, to remain with New Mount Logan on a permanent basis. Mr. Ederer is expected to remain in his current role with Mount Logan in the near term, in order to support an orderly transition of his responsibilities to other members of the existing executive management team. The length of this transitionary period has not yet been determined, and it may end before or after the time the Mergers are consummated.

For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement – Additional Agreements – Board of Directors.

Treatment of Mount Logan Equity Awards and Warrants

With respect to Mount Logan’s equity awards, the Merger Agreement provides that, following the MLC Domestication and prior to the Effective Time, all outstanding issued restricted share units and dividend equivalent units will become fully vested with the holders ultimately receiving shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock for their MLC Delaware Units issued upon such vesting. For more information, see the section entitled “The Merger Agreement – Treatment of Equity Awards.
With respect to the outstanding MLC Warrants, the Merger Agreement provides that, at or prior to the Effective Time, New Mount Logan will execute one or more supplemental indentures to the MLC Warrant Indentures to evidence and effectuate the assumption by New Mount Logan of the obligation to issue shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock upon the exercise of the MLC Warrants in accordance with their terms.
On October 19, 2018, Mount Logan issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 20,468,128 MLC Common Shares (the “2018 Warrants”). As of December 31, 2024, Mount Logan had all 20,468,128 2018 Warrants outstanding which are exercisable at any time up to October 19, 2025. As a result of a reverse share split completed by Mount Logan on December 3, 2019, every eight (8) 2018 Warrants entitle the holder to receive, upon exercise, one MLC Common Share at a price of C$6.16 per common share. Accordingly, an aggregate of up to 2,558,516 MLC Common Shares were issuable upon the exercise of the 20,468,128 outstanding 2018 Warrants as of December 31, 2024.
On January 26, 2024, Mount Logan completed a private placement of debentures and warrants (the “2024 Warrants”). Each 2024 Warrant is exercisable to acquire MLC Common Share at a price of C$2.75 per share for a period of eight (8) years from the issuance thereof. Accordingly, an aggregate of up to 937,600 MLC Common Shares were issuable upon the exercise of the 937,600 outstanding 2024 Warrants as of December 31, 2024.
Prior to the Effective Time, 180 Degree Capital will cause New Mount Logan to execute one or more supplemental indentures to the MLC Warrant Indentures to evidence and effectuate the due assumption by New Mount Logan of all obligations of Mount Logan under such MLC Warrant Indentures, which supplemental indentures will obligate New Mount Logan to issue New Mount Logan Common Stock upon the exercise of any 2018 Warrants or 2024 Warrants outstanding under the MLC Warrant Indentures in accordance with their terms. In connection with this assumption of obligations, the MLC Warrants will be adjusted in accordance with their terms such that upon exercise of such MLC Warrants by a holder, such holder will receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock (having regard to the MLC Exchange Ratio) in lieu of the number of MLC Common Shares such holder would have received if such MLC Warrants had been exercised prior to the Mergers, for the
23

same aggregate consideration. If such assumption of obligations had taken place on July 8, 2025, (i) the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of all outstanding 2018 Warrants would have been 645,287, and (ii) the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of all outstanding 2024 Warrants would have been 236,473, in each case, reflecting the MLC Exchange Ratio as at such date. The information in the prior sentence is provided for illustrative purposes only, and the numbers of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable in connection with any exercise following the assumption at the Effective Time may be higher or lower than the amounts set forth in the prior sentence to reflect the MLC Exchange Ratio as at the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, New Mount Logan will comply with all terms and conditions of the MLC Warrant Indentures. Neither the 2018 Warrants nor the 2024 Warrants are expected to be listed on any exchange in connection with the assumption by New Mount Logan at the Effective Time or thereafter.

The Interim Order is expected to provide that each Registered MLC Shareholder as of the close of business on the record date of the MLC Special Meeting will have the right to dissent and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of their MLC Common Shares by Mount Logan, which shall be the fair value of such MLC Common Shares as of the close of the last business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution is approved by MLC Shareholders at the MLC Special Meeting, and such dissenting shareholders shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable pursuant to the Mergers had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such MLC Common Shares.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers

The following is a general discussion of (A) certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the MLC Domestication to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of MLC Common Shares and (B) certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Mergers to (i) U.S. Holders (as defined below) of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan who receive common stock of New Mount Logan pursuant to the Mergers and (ii) solely with respect to the discussion set forth under “—U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequence of the Mergers to U.S. holders of MLC Warrants,” U.S. Holders of MLC Warrants. This discussion does not purport to be a complete description of all of the tax considerations applicable to New Mount Logan or its stockholders. This discussion assumes that the Mergers will be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement and as further described in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
30

In particular, this discussion does not address certain considerations that may be relevant to certain types of stockholders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws, including stockholders that are not U.S. Holders (as defined below), stockholders subject to the alternative minimum tax, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, stockholders that are treated as partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, beneficial owners of a stockholder, dealers in securities, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for securities holdings, pension plans and trusts, financial institutions, exchanging stockholders of Mount Logan or 180 Degree Capital that held their exchanged shares part of a straddle or a hedging or conversion transaction, real estate investment trusts, registered investment companies, banks and other financial institutions, stockholders whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, controlled foreign corporations, and passive foreign investment companies. This discussion does not discuss any aspects of U.S. estate or gift tax or non-U.S., state or local tax laws. This summary is limited to persons participating in the Mergers that held their TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares as capital assets (within the meaning of the Code).

This discussion is based upon the Code, its legislative history, existing and proposed U.S. Treasury regulations, published rulings and court decisions, each as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly retroactively, which could affect the continuing validity of this discussion. 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan have not sought, and will not seek, any ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) regarding any matter discussed herein, and this discussion is not binding on the IRS. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS would not assert, and that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax consequences discussed herein.

For purposes of this discussion, a “U.S. Holder” is a beneficial owner of either: (i) TURN Common Shares or (ii) MLC Common Shares that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;
a corporation, or entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;
a trust that (i) is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and the control of one or more “United States persons” (within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) or (ii) has made a valid election to be treated as a United States person for U.S. federal income tax purposes; or
an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in such partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes that holds TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares and any partners in such partnership should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Mergers to them.

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL OF THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE MERGERS. ALL HOLDERS OF TURN COMMON SHARES OR MLC COMMON SHARES OR MLC WARRANTS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS AS TO THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF THE MERGERS, INCLUDING THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF ANY U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S., AND OTHER TAX LAWS.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the MLC Domestication to U.S. Holders
The MLC Domestication is intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization pursuant to Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code. Assuming that this treatment applies, a U.S. Holder (i) will not recognize any gain or loss in connection with the MLC Domestication, (ii) will have a tax basis in the MLC Common Shares it holds after the MLC Domestication equal to the tax basis of MLC Delaware Units it held prior to the MLC Domestication and (iii)
31

will have a holding period for the MLC Common Shares it holds after the MLC Domestication that includes the holding period for its MLC Delaware Units it held prior to the MLC Domestication.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers to U.S. Holders

The Mergers, taken together, are intended to qualify as a non-taxable transfer to a corporation controlled by the transferors within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code.

Neither 180 Degree Capital nor Mount Logan intends to obtain a ruling from the IRS with respect to the tax consequences of the Mergers. If the IRS were to successfully challenge whether the Mergers qualify as a non-taxable transaction under Section 351 of the Code, the tax consequences would differ materially from those described in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Stock for stock. Assuming that the Mergers qualify as a non-taxable transaction under Section 351 of the Code, generally, a U.S. Holder that receives shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in the Mergers:

will not recognize any gain or loss in connection in the Mergers;
will have a tax basis in the New Mount Logan Common Stock received in the Mergers equal to the tax basis of the TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable, surrendered in exchange therefor; and
will have a holding period for the New Mount Logan Common Stock received in the Mergers that includes its holding period for its TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable, surrendered in exchange therefor.

The New Mount Logan Common Stock received in the Mergers by a U.S. Holder that acquired different blocks of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable, at different times or at different prices will be allocated pro rata to each block of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable, of such U.S. Holder, and the basis and holding period of such New Mount Logan Common Stock will be determined using a block for block approach and will depend on the basis and holding period of each block of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable, exchanged for such New Mount Logan Common Stock.

In the event that the Mergers do not qualify as a non-taxable transaction under Section 351 of the Code, the Mergers generally will be treated as a taxable sale or exchange of MLC Common Shares or TURN Common Shares, as applicable, by U.S. holders in exchange for New Mount Logan Common Stock. In such case, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares (as applicable). Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period in the TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable, exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders will be eligible to be taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses realized by a U.S. Holder on a taxable sale or exchange of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares is subject to certain limitations.

A U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares generally will equal the U.S. Holder’s acquisition cost of such shares, reduced by any prior distributions with respect to such shares treated as a return of basis.

Tax Opinions.

180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan each has received an opinion of their respective counsels to the effect that the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a non-taxable transaction under Section 351 of the Code. However, these opinions of counsel are not binding on the IRS.

32

In order for the Mergers, taken together, to qualify as a non-taxable transaction under Section 351 of the Code, among other requirements, U.S. Holders simultaneously acquiring stock in New Mount Logan must together own and control at least 80% of the stock of New Mount Logan immediately after the Mergers.

Reporting Requirements.

If the Mergers, taken together, qualify as a non-taxable transaction under Section 351 of the Code, each U.S. Holder who owns 5% or more of the stock of New Mount Logan after the Mergers must file a statement with its tax return that provides information about the Mergers and about property that the U.S. Holder transferred in the transaction (listed in Treasury Regulation Section 1.351-3).

Each U.S. Holder should consult with its own tax advisor about information required to be maintained and filed in connection with the Mergers.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequence of the Mergers to U.S. holders of MLC Warrants.
The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Mergers to U.S. holders of MLC Warrants whose MLC Warrants remain outstanding following the Effective Time and which will have the right to receive MLC Merger Consideration upon exercise of such MLC Warrants, is uncertain. It is possible that U.S. holders of MLC Warrants whose MLC Warrants remain outstanding following the Effective Time could be treated as if such holder exchanged their existing MLC Warrants for new MLC Warrants in a taxable transaction. If this treatment were to apply, such U.S. holder would generally recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of the MLC Warrants and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such MLC Warrants. Any such capital gain or loss generally will be long term capital gain or loss if the U.S. holder’s holding period in the shares of Common Stock exceeds one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. holders will be eligible to be taxed at preferential rates. The deductibility of capital losses realized by a U.S. holder on a taxable sale or exchange of MLC Warrants is subject to certain limitations. U.S. holders of MLC Warrants are urged consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their MLC Warrants in connection with the Mergers.
Treatment of Loss Carryforwards of 180 Degree Capital as a Consequence of the Mergers
As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had loss carryforwards in aggregate of $23,460,501, long term. Capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $3,670,653. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had cumulative capital losses, which were derived during years when it failed as a RIC, totaling $10,438,040, which may be carried back 3 years or carried forward 5 years. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had post-enactment cumulative capital losses under the provisions of the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the "RIC Act"), which were derived during years when it qualified as a RIC, totaling $13,022,461. Post-enactment losses have no expiration date. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had approximately $91.4 million in operating loss carryforwards that begin to expire in 2026. As a result of the Business Combination, 180 Degree Capital’s operating and capital loss carryforwards are expected to be subject to limitations of future use to offset taxable capital gains and income, as applicable, pursuant to Section 382 of the Code.
Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences

For a summary of certain of the material Canadian federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination applicable to MLC Shareholders, see the section entitled “The Mergers - Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences” in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Such summary is not intended to be legal or tax advice. MLC Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors as to the tax consequences of the Business Combination to them having regard to their particular circumstances.
In particular, pursuant to the MLC Domestication, holders of MLC Common Shares prior to the MLC Domestication will hold MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC Delaware Units for a short period of time following the completion of the MLC Domestication and before completion of the MLC Merger. Although the ticker representing the MLC Common Shares (which will become MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC
33

Delaware Units on the MLC Domestication) will continue to be listed on a designated stock exchange (which, for purposes of the Tax Act, currently includes Cboe Canada) during such short period, it is unclear whether the MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, the MLC Delaware Units themselves will be considered listed on the Cboe Canada during such short period for purposes of the Tax Act. Therefore it is unclear whether the MLC Delaware Stock or the MLC Delaware Units will be a “qualified investment” under the Tax Act for trusts governed by Registered Plans prior to the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock being issued to MLC Shareholders. MLC Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

** The closing price was C$2.35 which was converted into USD using a conversion ratio of 1.3677 C$/USD.

The market prices of the MLC Common Shares and TURN Common Shares have fluctuated since the date of the announcement of the Business Combination and will continue to fluctuate from the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the date of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, the date of the MLC Special Meeting and the date the Business Combination is completed. No assurance can be given concerning the market prices of the MLC Common Shares or TURN Common Shares before completion of the Mergers or the market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock after completion of the Mergers.

Dividends

Mount Logan currently pays a regular quarterly dividend of C$0.02 per MLC Common Share.

180 Degree Capital does not pay cash dividends and 180 Degree Capital has no plan to declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, 180 Degree Capital is not permitted to declare, set aside or pay any dividends or make other distributions in respect of any outstanding capital stock or other equity interests prior to the Effective Time without the prior written consent of Mount Logan. Mount Logan is not permitted to make, authorize, declare, pay or set aside any dividend on any outstanding shares of its capital stock or equity interests except for dividends paid in the ordinary course consistent with past practice (including Mount Logan’s quarterly dividend) prior to the Effective Time without the prior written consent of 180 Degree Capital.

It is currently anticipated that New Mount Logan will declare and pay a regular quarterly cash dividend on New Mount Logan Common Stock; however, any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will be subject to the approval of the board of directors of New Mount Logan, after considering New Mount Logan’s operating results, financial condition, cash requirements, financing agreement restrictions and any other factors the board of directors of New Mount Logan may deem relevant.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, shareholders should carefully consider the matters described below in determining whether to approve (i) in the case of 180 Degree Capital shareholders, the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting proposals and (ii) in the case of MLC Shareholders, the MLC Special Meeting resolutions. The risks set out below and incorporated by reference herein, are not the only risks 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan face and, following the Business Combination, New Mount Logan, will face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan or that they currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect their or, following the Business Combination, New Mount Logan’s, business, financial condition or operating results. If any of the following events occur, 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan or, following the Business Combination, New Mount Logan’s, business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected. See also “Where You Can Find More Information” in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Risks Relating to the Mergers

180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders will experience a reduction in percentage ownership and voting power in New Mount Logan as a result of the Business Combination.

180 Degree Capital shareholders will experience a substantial reduction in their respective percentage ownership interests and effective voting power in respect of New Mount Logan relative to their respective percentage ownership interests in 180 Degree Capital prior to the Business Combination. Consequently, 180 Degree Capital shareholders should generally expect to exercise less influence over the management and policies of New Mount Logan following the Business Combination than they currently exercise over the management and policies of 180 Degree Capital. Prior to completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain restrictions in the Merger Agreement and the prior written consent of Mount Logan, 180 Degree Capital may issue additional TURN Common Shares, which would further reduce the percentage ownership of New Mount Logan to be held by 180 Degree Capital shareholders. MLC Shareholders will experience a substantial reduction in their respective percentage ownership interests and effective voting power in respect of New Mount Logan relative to their respective ownership interests in Mount Logan prior to the Business Combination. Consequently, MLC Shareholders should generally expect to exercise less influence over the management and policies of New Mount Logan following the Business Combination than they currently exercise over the management and policies of Mount Logan. Prior to completion of the Business Combination, subject to certain restrictions in the Merger Agreement, Mount Logan may issue additional MLC Common Shares, which would further reduce the percentage ownership of New Mount Logan to be held by MLC Shareholders.

Sales of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock after the completion of the Business Combination may cause the market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock to decline.

At the Effective Time, each TURN Common Share and each MLC Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to such time will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the TURN Exchange Ratio and MLC Exchange Ratio, respectively. All of the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issued and outstanding will be freely tradable after the Closing. Former 180
37

Degree Capital shareholders and former MLC Shareholders may decide not to hold the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that they will receive pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In addition, shareholders who acquire shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock following the Mergers may decide not to hold their shares for a significant period. In each case, such sales of New Mount Logan Common Stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for New Mount Logan Common Stock and may take place soon after the completion of the Mergers.

Because the market price and the NAV per share of TURN Common Shares and the MLC Common Shares will fluctuate, 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the Merger Consideration they will receive in connection with the Mergers.

At the Effective Time, each TURN Common Share and each MLC Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to such time will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the TURN Exchange Ratio and MLC Exchange Ratio, respectively. The market value of TURN Merger Consideration to be received by 180 Degree Capital shareholders upon completion of the TURN Merger may vary from the closing price of TURN Common Shares on the date the TURN Merger was announced, on the date of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting to consider the proposals in respect of the Business Combination and on the date the TURN Merger is completed. The market value of MLC Merger Consideration to be received by MLC Shareholders upon completion of the MLC Merger may vary from the closing price of MLC Common Shares on the date the MLC Merger was announced, on the date of the MLC Special Meeting to consider the resolutions in respect of the Business Combination and on the date the MLC Merger is completed. Both the TURN Merger Consideration and the MLC Merger Consideration may vary from their respective closing prices and NAV on the date the TURN Merger and MLC Merger are announced, respectively. Additionally, the TURN Exchange Ratio and MLC Exchange Ratio will fluctuate as 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s respective NAVs change prior to the Closing.

Accordingly, at the time of the Special Meetings, 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders, respectively, will not know or be able to calculate the market price of the Merger Consideration they would receive upon completion of the Business Combination. The market price and liquidity of the market for TURN Common Shares and the MLC Common Shares may be significantly affected by numerous factors, some of which are beyond 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s control and may not be directly related to 180 Degree Capital’s or Mount Logan’s operating performance. These factors include:

significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of companies in 180 Degree Capital’s or Mount Logan’s sector, which are not necessarily related to the operating performance of these companies;
changes in regulatory policies, accounting pronouncements or tax guidelines;
changes in earnings or variations in operating results;
changes in the value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio investments or Mount Logan’s assets, including as a result of general economic conditions, interest rate shifts and changes in the performance of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio companies or Mount Logan;
any shortfall in revenue or net income or any increase in losses from levels expected by investors or securities analysts;
departure of 180 Degree Capital’s or Mount Logan’s key personnel; and
general economic trends and other external factors.

See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for other factors that could cause the market price of TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares to change.

These factors are generally beyond the control of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan. The range of high and low sales prices per TURN Common Share as reported on the Nasdaq for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was a low of $3.15 and a high of $4.25. The range of high and low sales prices per share of MLC Common Shares as reported on Cboe Canada for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 was a low of C$2.30 and a high of C$2.75. However, historical trading prices are not necessarily indicative of future performance. 180 Degree

Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders should obtain current market quotations for TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares, respectively, prior to the Special Meetings.

New Mount Logan may be unable to realize the benefits anticipated by the Business Combination or it may take longer than anticipated to achieve such benefits.

The realization of certain benefits anticipated as a result of the Business Combination will depend in part on the integration of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio with Mount Logan’s investment portfolio and the integration of 180 Degree Capital’s business with Mount Logan’s business. There can be no assurance that 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio or business can be operated profitably or integrated successfully into Mount Logan’s operations in a timely fashion or at all. The dedication of management resources to such integration may detract attention from the day-to-day business of New Mount Logan, and there can be no assurance that there will not be substantial costs associated with the transition process or that there will not be other material adverse effects as a result of these integration efforts. Such effects, including incurring unexpected costs or delays in connection with such integration and failure of 180 Degree Capital’s or Mount Logan’s investment portfolio to perform as expected, could have a material adverse effect on the financial results of New Mount Logan.

Any delay in completing the Business Combination may reduce or eliminate the benefits expected to be achieved thereunder.

The Business Combination is subject to a number of conditions beyond Mount Logan’s and 180 Degree Capital’s control that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect their completion. Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied. Any delay in completing the Business Combination could cause the combined company not to realize, or to be delayed in realizing, some or all of the synergies and other benefits that the parties expect to achieve if the Business Combination is successfully completed within its expected time frame. For more information, see the section “The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Closing of the Mergers” in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The Business Combination may trigger certain “anti-assignment” provisions and other restrictions in contracts of 180 Degree Capital, Mount Logan and/or their affiliates and the failure to obtain any required consents or waivers could adversely impact New Mount Logan.

Certain agreements of each of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan or their respective affiliates may require the consent or waiver of one or more counterparties in connection with the Business Combination. The failure to obtain any such consent or waiver may permit such counterparties to terminate, or otherwise increase their rights or 180 Degree Capital’s or Mount Logan’s obligations under, any such agreement because the Business Combination or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement may violate an anti-assignment or other similar provision relating to any of such transactions. If this occurs, New Mount Logan may have to seek to replace the applicable agreement with a new agreement or seek an amendment to such agreement. New Mount Logan, 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan cannot assure you that New Mount Logan will be able to replace or amend any such agreement on comparable terms or at all. If any such agreement is material, the failure to obtain consents, amendments or waivers under, or to replace on similar terms or at all, any of these agreements could adversely affect the financial performance or results of operations of New Mount Logan following the Business Combination, including preventing New Mount Logan from operating a material part of 180 Degree Capital’s or Mount Logan’s business. In addition, the consummation of the Business Combination may violate, conflict with, result in a breach of provisions of, or the loss of any benefit under, constitute a default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation (including any payment obligation) under, certain agreements of New Mount Logan, 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan. Any such violation, conflict, breach, loss, default or other effect could, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, assets or business of New Mount Logan following completion of the Business Combination.

39

The opinion delivered to the 180 Degree Capital Board and the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee by the financial advisor to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee prior to the signing of the Merger Agreement will not reflect changes in circumstances since the date of the opinions.

The opinion of the financial advisor to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee (the “Fairness Opinion”) was delivered to the 180 Degree Capital Board and the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee on, and dated, January 16, 2025. Changes in the operations and prospects of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, general market and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan may significantly alter 180 Degree Capital’s value or the price of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares by the time the Business Combination is completed. The Fairness Opinion does not speak as of the time the Business Combination will be completed or as of any date other than the date of the Fairness Opinion. For a description of the Fairness Opinion, see “The Mergers - Opinion of 180 Degree Capital’s Financial Advisor.

The announcement and pendency of the proposed Business Combination could adversely affect each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business, financial results and operations.

The announcement and pendency of the proposed Business Combination could cause disruptions in and create uncertainty surrounding each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business, including affecting relationships with existing and future commercial counterparties, which could have a significant negative impact on future revenues and results of operations, regardless of whether the Business Combination is completed. In addition, 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan have diverted, and will continue to divert, management resources towards the completion of the Business Combination, which could have a negative impact on each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s future revenues and results of operations. 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan are also subject to restrictions on the conduct of their respective businesses prior to the completion of the Business Combination as provided in the Merger Agreement, generally requiring 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan to conduct business only in the ordinary course and subject to specific limitations, including, among other things, certain restrictions on each of their ability to make certain investments and acquisitions, sell, transfer or dispose of their respective assets, amend their respective organizational documents and enter into or modify certain material contracts. These restrictions could prevent 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan from pursuing otherwise attractive business opportunities, industry developments and future opportunities and may otherwise have a significant negative impact on the respective future investment income and results of operations of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan following the Business Combination.

If the Business Combination does not close, neither 180 Degree Capital nor Mount Logan will benefit from the expenses incurred in pursuit of the Business Combination.

The Business Combination may not be completed. If the Business Combination is not completed, 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will have incurred substantial expenses for which no ultimate benefit will have been received. Both companies have incurred out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the Business Combination for legal and accounting fees and financial printing and other related charges, and in the case of 180 Degree Capital’s investment banking much of which in each case will be incurred even if the Business Combination is not completed. See “The Merger Agreement – Termination Amount and Expenses; Liability for Breach.

The termination of the Merger Agreement could negatively impact 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan.

If the Merger Agreement is terminated, there may be various consequences, including:

180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s businesses may have been adversely impacted by the failure to pursue other beneficial opportunities due to the focus of management on the Business Combination, without realizing any of the anticipated benefits of completing the Business Combination;
the market price of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares might decline to the extent that the market price of such TURN Common Shares or MLC Shares prior to termination reflects a market assumption that the Business Combination will be completed;
40

in the case of 180 Degree Capital, it may not be able to find a party willing to pay an equivalent or more attractive price than the price Mount Logan agreed to pay in the Business Combination; and
180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will be obligated for the payment of expenses of the other under certain circumstances up to a $1,000,000 cap.
The Merger Agreement limits the ability of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan to pursue alternatives to the Business Combination.

The Merger Agreement contains provisions that limit each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s ability to discuss, facilitate or commit to competing third party proposals to acquire all or a significant part of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, as applicable. These provisions, which are typical for transactions of this type, might discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan from considering or proposing that acquisition or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay less consideration to acquire 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan than it might otherwise have proposed to pay.

The Business Combination is subject to closing conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals, that, if not satisfied or (to the extent legally allowed) waived, will result in the Business Combination not being completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business and operations.

The Business Combination is subject to closing conditions, including certain approvals of 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders that, if not satisfied, will prevent the Business Combination from being completed. The closing condition that 180 Degree Capital shareholders approve the Business Combination Proposal may not be waived under applicable law and must be satisfied for the Business Combination to be completed. If 180 Degree Capital shareholders do not approve the Business Combination Proposal and the Business Combination is not completed, the resulting failure of the Business Combination could have a material adverse impact on 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business and operations. In addition, the closing condition that MLC Shareholders approve the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger Resolution may not be waived under applicable law and must be satisfied for the Business Combination to be completed. If MLC Shareholders do not approve the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger Resolution and the Business Combination is not completed, the resulting failure of the Business Combination could have a material adverse impact on 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business and operations. In addition to the required approvals of 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders, the Business Combination is subject to a number of other conditions beyond 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s control, including a required consent from the Nebraska Department of Insurance in respect of the Business Combination, that may prevent, delay or otherwise materially adversely affect completion of the Business Combination. 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan cannot predict whether and when these other conditions will be satisfied.

Litigation filed against 180 Degree Capital and/or Mount Logan in connection with the Business Combination could result in substantial costs and could delay or prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

From time to time, 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan may be subject to legal actions, including securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits, as well as various regulatory, governmental and law enforcement inquiries, investigations and subpoenas in connection with the Business Combination. These or any similar securities class action lawsuits and derivative lawsuits, regardless of their merits, may result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment in such cases could have a negative impact on the liquidity and financial condition of New Mount Logan, 180 Degree Capital and/or Mount Logan and could prevent the Business Combination from being completed.

180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will be subject to operational uncertainties and contractual restrictions while the Business Combination is pending.

41

Uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination may have an adverse effect on 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and, consequently, on New Mount Logan following completion of the Business Combination. These uncertainties may cause those that deal with 180 Degree Capital and/or Mount Logan to seek to change their existing business relationships with 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, respectively. In addition, the Merger Agreement restricts 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan from taking certain actions that each might otherwise consider to be in its best interests. These restrictions may prevent 180 Degree Capital and/or Mount Logan from pursuing certain business opportunities that may arise prior to the completion of the Business Combination.

180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan may, to the extent legally allowed, waive one or more conditions to the Business Combination without resoliciting shareholder approval.

Certain conditions to 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s respective obligations to complete the Business Combination may be waived, in whole or in part, to the extent legally allowed, either unilaterally or by mutual agreement of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan. In the event that any such waiver does not require resolicitation of shareholders, the Parties to the Merger Agreement will have the discretion to complete the Business Combination without seeking further shareholder approval. The conditions requiring the approval of 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders, respectively, however, cannot be waived.

The shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to be received by 180 Degree Capital shareholders and MLC Shareholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights associated with them than TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares currently held by them.

The rights associated with TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares are different from the rights associated with New Mount Logan Common Stock. See “Comparison of Mount Logan Shareholders’ Rights” and “Comparison of 180 Degree Capital Shareholders’ Rights.”

The market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock after the Business Combination may be affected by factors different from those affecting TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares currently.

The businesses of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan differ and, accordingly, the results of operations of New Mount Logan and the market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock after the Business Combination may be affected by factors different from those currently affecting the independent results of operations of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and the market prices of TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares. These factors include a larger shareholder base, a different portfolio composition and a different capital structure. Accordingly, the historical trading prices and financial results of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, respectively, may not be indicative of these matters for New Mount Logan following the Business Combination. For a discussion of the business of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and of certain factors to consider in connection with each of their respective business, see “The Merger Agreement - Conduct of Business Prior to Completion of the Mergers.”

180 Degree Capital shareholders do not have appraisal rights in connection with the Business Combination.

Appraisal rights are statutory rights that enable shareholders to dissent from certain extraordinary transactions, such as certain mergers, and to demand that the corporation pay the fair value for their shares as determined by a court in a judicial proceeding instead of receiving the consideration offered to shareholders in connection with the applicable transaction. Under New York law, 180 Degree Capital shareholders will not have rights to an appraisal of the fair value of their shares in connection with the Business Combination.

The Mergers may not be treated as a tax-free exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code.

180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan intend that the Mergers will qualify as a tax-free exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code, and each expect to receive a legal opinion to that effect. However, if the United States Internal Revenue Service or a court determines that the Mergers should not be treated as a tax-free exchange under Section 351(a) of the Code, then a 180 Degree Capital and MLC Shareholder, as applicable, would generally
42

recognize gains or losses for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares for New Mount Logan Common Stock in the Mergers.

The tax treatment of the Mergers for U.S. holders of MLC Warrants is uncertain.

The appropriate U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Mergers to U.S. holders of MLC Warrants whose MLC Warrants remain outstanding following the Effective Time and which will have the right to receive MLC Merger Consideration upon exercise of such MLC Warrants, is uncertain. It is possible that U.S. holders of MLC Warrants whose MLC Warrants remain outstanding following the Effective Time could be treated as if such holder exchanged their existing MLC Warrants for new MLC Warrants in a taxable transaction. If this treatment were to apply, such U.S. holder would generally recognize gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (i) the fair market value of the MLC Warrants and (ii) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in such MLC Warrants. U.S. holders of MLC Warrants are urged consult with their tax advisors regarding the treatment of their MLC Warrants in connection with the Mergers.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, current 180 Degree Capital shareholders will no longer have the benefit of the protections afforded to equity holders of registered investment companies under the 1940 Act.

New Mount Logan will not be registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Accordingly, current 180 Degree Capital shareholders will no longer have the benefit of the protections afforded to equity holders of registered investment companies under the 1940 Act upon consummation of the Business Combination. See “Questions and Answers – Questions and Answers about the Business Combination – As a 180 Degree Capital shareholder, how will the Deregistration affect me?” Among other things, registered investment companies such as 180 Degree Capital are restricted in their ability to issue senior securities, including debt and preferred shares, pursuant to Section 18 under the 1940 Act. See “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to 180 Degree Capital – Regulations governing 180 Degree Capital’s operation as a registered CEF may limit 180 Degree Capital’s ability to raise additional capital…”

In addition, pursuant to Sections 17(a) and (d) under the 1940 Act, registered investment companies are generally not permitted to engage in transactions with affiliates—including cross trades with or co-investments alongside those affiliates—absent an available exemptive rule, or in the case of co-investments, an SEC interpretive position or SEC exemptive order permitting such transactions. Similarly, the 1940 Act imposes restrictions on the ability of registered investment companies to invest in certain types of issuers, including other registered investment companies and entities that operate in securities-related businesses, such as brokers, dealers and registered investment advisers. Because New Mount Logan will not be registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act, it may accordingly engage in the types of transactions described above that would otherwise have been impermissible for 180 Degree Capital prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

Risks Relating to Mount Logan and New Mount Logan
Risks Related to the Business – General
A portion of New Mount Logan’s revenues, earnings and cash flow is expected to be highly variable, which may make it difficult for it to achieve steady earnings growth on a quarterly basis and may cause the price of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to be volatile.
As is the case for Mount Logan, a portion of New Mount Logan’s revenues, earnings and cash flow is expected to be highly variable, primarily due to the nature of the insurance business of Ability (which will become a subsidiary of New Mount Logan) and the fact that fees from New Mount Logan’s asset management business are expected to vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. New Mount Logan may also experience fluctuations in its results from quarter to quarter and year to year due to a number of other factors, including changes in its operating expenses, policyholder behavior, the degree to which New Mount Logan will encounter competition and general economic and market conditions. New Mount Logan’s future results will also be dependent on the success of the vehicles ML Management manages, changes in the value of which may result in fluctuations in New
43

Mount Logan’s results. Such variability may lead to volatility in the trading price of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock and cause New Mount Logan’s results for a particular period not to be indicative of New Mount Logan’s performance in a future period. It may be difficult for New Mount Logan to achieve steady growth in earnings and cash flow on a quarterly basis, which could in turn lead to adverse movements in the price of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock or increased volatility in the price of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in general.
New Mount Logan will operate in highly competitive industries, which could limit its ability to achieve its growth strategies and could materially and adversely affect its businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
As is the case for Mount Logan, New Mount Logan will operate in highly competitive markets and compete with a large number of investment management firms, private credit fund sponsors, U.S. and non-U.S. insurance and reinsurance companies and other financial institutions. In particular, New Mount Logan’s asset management business will face competition in the pursuit of clients, and its insurance business will face competition with respect to both the products it offers and insurance transactions it pursues. These competitive pressures may have a material and adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s growth, business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
New Mount Logan will rely on technology and information systems (including those of BCPA through its expected Servicing Agreement with BCPA), some of which are expected to be controlled by third-party vendors, to maintain the security of its information and technology networks and to conduct its businesses, and any failures or interruptions of these systems could adversely affect its businesses and results of operations.
Mount Logan is subject, and New Mount Logan will be subject, to various risks and costs associated with the collection, handling, storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information. In the ordinary course of New Mount Logan’s business, it will collect and store a range of data, including its proprietary business information and intellectual property, which may include personally identifiable information relating to its insurance business or of its employees, its investors, and other third parties, in data centers and on its or BCPA’s networks, and it will rely on technology and information systems in its business activities. New Mount Logan will rely on a host of information systems and hardware systems, including those of BCPA and BCPA’s third party vendors, for the secure processing, maintenance and transmission of this information, and the unavailability of these systems or the failure of these systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could disrupt its businesses and could result in decreased performance and increased operating costs, causing its businesses and results of operations to suffer.
There can be no assurance that the various procedures and controls New Mount Logan expects to utilize to mitigate the threat of cyberattacks or other similar incidents will be sufficient to prevent disruptions to its systems, especially because the cyberattack techniques used change frequently and are not recognized until launched, the full scope of a cyberattack may not be realized until an investigation has been performed and cyberattacks can originate from a wide variety of sources. Although New Mount Logan and BCPA will take protective measures to prevent and address potential cyberattacks, there can be no assurance that any of these measures will prove effective. The rapid evolution and increasing prevalence of artificial intelligence technologies may also increase New Mount Logan’s cybersecurity risks.
New Mount Logan expects to rely on BCPA and third-party service providers for certain aspects of its businesses, including for certain information systems and technology. New Mount Logan cannot guarantee that BCPA, third party vendors, service providers and lenders have not been compromised or that they do not contain exploitable defects or bugs that could result in a breach of or disruption to New Mount Logan’s information technology systems or the BCPA or third-party information technology systems that support New Mount Logan’s business. New Mount Logan’s ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and they may not have adequate information security measures in place. In addition, if BCPA or one of New Mount Logan’s third-party counterparties suffers a security breach, New Mount Logan’s response may be limited or more difficult because it may not have direct access to their systems. A disaster, disruption or compromise in technology or infrastructure that supports New Mount Logan’s businesses, including a disruption involving electronic
44

communications or other services used by New Mount Logan, may have an adverse impact on its ability to continue to operate its businesses without interruption, which could have a material adverse effect on New Mount Logan. These risks could increase due to the increasing use of cloud-based software services. In addition, costs related to data security threats or disruptions may not be fully insured or indemnified by other means.
As new technologies, including tools that harness generative artificial intelligence and other machine learning techniques, rapidly develop and become even more accessible, the use of such new technologies by New Mount Logan, its affiliates and its third party service providers and other vendors will present additional known and unknown risks, including, among others, the risk that confidential information may be stolen, misappropriated or disclosed and the risk that New Mount Logan and/or third party service providers or other vendors may rely on incorrect, unclear or biased outputs generated by such technologies, any of which could have an adverse impact on New Mount Logan and its business.
A significant actual or potential theft, loss, corruption, exposure, fraudulent, unauthorized or accidental use or misuse of personally identifiable or proprietary business data could result in significant remediation and other costs, fines, litigation and regulatory actions against New Mount Logan, in addition to significant reputational harm.
New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows will depend on the accuracy of its management’s assumptions and estimates, and New Mount Logan could experience significant gains or losses if these assumptions and estimates differ significantly from actual results.
Mount Logan makes and relies on, and New Mount Logan is expected to make and rely on, certain assumptions and estimates regarding many matters related to its businesses, including interest rates, expenses and operating costs, tax assets and liabilities, tax rates, business mix, and contingent liabilities. New Mount Logan will also use these assumptions and estimates to make decisions crucial to its business operations. The factors influencing these various assumptions and estimates cannot be calculated or predicted with certainty, and if New Mount Logan’s assumptions and estimates differ significantly from actual outcomes and results, New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows may be materially and adversely affected.
Some of the funds ML Management manages invest in illiquid assets, and some of the investments of New Mount Logan’s insurance business are expected to be relatively illiquid. Funds holding such assets and New Mount Logan, as applicable, may fail to realize profits from these assets for a considerable period of time, or lose some or all of the amount that is invested in these assets if such assets are required to be sold at inopportune times or in response to changes in applicable rules and regulations.
Some of the funds ML Management manages invest in securities or other financial instruments that are not publicly traded or are otherwise viewed as “illiquid.” In such cases, there may be limitations by contract or by applicable securities laws on the sale of such securities or financial instruments, such that they can only be sold after a period of time and then only at such times when New Mount Logan will not possess material nonpublic information. In addition, the ability to dispose of private credit investments prior to maturity is generally heavily dependent upon the secondary trading market for such instruments. Such markets may not be available. Accordingly, the funds ML Management manages may be forced, under certain conditions, to sell securities at a loss.
In addition, some investments by Ability, which will be New Mount Logan’s insurance business, are in securities that are not publicly traded or that otherwise lack liquidity. These relatively illiquid types of investments are recorded at fair value. If a material liquidity demand is triggered and New Mount Logan’s insurance business is unable to satisfy the demand with the sources of liquidity available to it, New Mount Logan’s insurance business could be forced to sell certain of its assets and there can be no assurance that it would be able to sell them for the values at which such assets are recorded and it might be forced to sell them at significantly lower prices. In some cases, New Mount Logan’s insurance business may also be prohibited by contract or applicable securities laws from selling such securities for a period of time. Thus, it may be impossible or costly to liquidate positions rapidly in order to meet unexpected obligations. This potential mismatch between the liquidity of assets and liabilities could
45

have a material and adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Further, governmental and regulatory authorities periodically review legislative and regulatory initiatives, and may promulgate new or revised, or adopt changes in the interpretation and enforcement of existing, rules and regulations at any time that may impact New Mount Logan’s investments. Such changes in regulatory requirements could disrupt market liquidity, make it more difficult for New Mount Logan to operate its business, and cause securities that are not publicly traded to lose value, any of which could have a material and adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.
New Mount Logan will rely on the financing markets for the operation of its business.
Mount Logan relies, and New Mount Logan will rely, on the debt and equity financing markets for the operation of its business. To the extent that debt and equity markets render financing difficult to obtain, refinance or extend, or more expensive, this may have a material and adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
In particular, New Mount Logan’s insurance business will rely on access to lending and debt markets to provide capital and liquidity. Changes in debt financing markets may impact New Mount Logan’s insurance business’s access to capital and liquidity. Calculations of required insurance capital may move with market movements and result in greater capital needs during economic downturns. New Mount Logan’s insurance business may also need additional liquidity to pay insurance liabilities in excess of its assumptions.
The absence of available sources of debt financing for extended periods of time could materially and adversely affect New Mount Logan. In the event that New Mount Logan is unable to obtain debt financing, or can only obtain debt at an increased interest rate or otherwise on unfavorable terms, it may be forced to find alternative sources of financing (including equity), may have difficulty executing its business objectives or may generate profits that are lower than would otherwise be the case, any of which could lead to a decrease in the income earned by New Mount Logan. If New Mount Logan uses leverage in the future, shareholders should be aware that investments in leveraged entities are inherently more sensitive to declines in revenues, increases in expenses and interest rates and adverse economic, market and industry developments. As a result, the risk of loss associated with a leveraged entity is generally greater than for companies with comparatively less debt.
New Mount Logan, and particularly its insurance business, may acquire various financial instruments for purposes of “hedging” or reducing its risks, which may be costly and ineffective and could reduce its cash available for distribution to its shareholders.
As is the case for Mount Logan, New Mount Logan, and particularly its insurance business, may seek to hedge against certain risks by using financial instruments such as futures, options, swaps and forward contracts. These financial instruments may be purchased on exchanges or may be individually negotiated and traded in over-the-counter markets. Use of such financial instruments for hedging purposes may present significant risks, including the risk of loss of the amounts invested. Defaults by the other party to a hedging transaction can result in losses in the hedging transaction. Hedging activities also involve the risk of an imperfect correlation between the hedging instrument and the asset being hedged, which could result in losses both on the hedging transaction and on the instrument being hedged. Use of hedging activities may not prevent significant losses and could increase New Mount Logan’s losses. Further, hedging transactions may reduce cash available to pay distributions to its shareholders.
Difficult political, market or economic conditions may adversely affect New Mount Logan’s businesses in many ways, which could materially reduce its revenue, net income and cash flow and adversely affect its financial prospects and condition.
Mount Logan’s businesses are, and New Mount Logan’s businesses will be, materially affected by conditions in the political environment and financial markets and economic conditions throughout the world, such as
46

changes in interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates (including persistent inflation), economic uncertainty, changes in laws, changes in governmental policy and regulatory reform, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the conflicts in the Middle East, commodity prices, wars, other national and international political circumstances (including terrorist acts or security operations), natural disasters, climate change, pandemics or other severe public health crises and other events outside of New Mount Logan’s control. Market uncertainty and volatility could also be magnified as a result of the new U.S. administration and resulting uncertainties regarding actual and potential shifts in the U.S. and foreign, trade, economic and other policies, such as tariffs on imports from various countries.
Both domestic and international markets continued to experience significant inflationary pressures in fiscal year 2024 and inflation rates in the United States could continue at elevated levels for the near term. Although the Federal Reserve in the United States and central banks in various other countries have started to cut interest rates as the rate of inflation slowly weakened, they may again raise interest rates in response to concerns about inflation in the future, which, coupled with reduced government spending and volatility in financial markets, may have the effect of further increasing economic uncertainty and heightening these risks. Interest rate increases or other government actions taken to reduce inflation could also result in recessionary pressures in many parts of the world. A recession could have a material and adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the conflict in the Middle East have increased global economic and political uncertainty. Furthermore, governments in the United States, U.K., and EU have each imposed export controls on certain products and financial and economic sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia, and additional controls and sanctions could be enacted in the future. New Mount Logan cannot predict the impact these conflicts may have on the global economy or its business, financial condition and operations in the future. These conflicts may also heighten the impact of other risks described herein.
Volatility caused by political, market or economic conditions can materially hinder business growth and may adversely impact New Mount Logan’s operating results. Any such volatility may also increase the risk that cash flows generated from operations may differ from expectations in timing or amount. There is also a risk of both sector-specific and broad-based corrections and/or downturns in the equity and/or credit markets. New Mount Logan’s profitability may also be adversely affected by New Mount Logan’s fixed costs and the possibility that New Mount Logan would be unable to scale back other costs, within a time frame sufficient to match any further decreases in net income or increases in net losses relating to changes in market and economic conditions.
Moreover, Ability, which will be New Mount Logan’s insurance business, is materially affected by conditions in the capital markets and the U.S. economy generally, as well as by the global economy. Actual or perceived stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in financial asset classes or various capital and credit markets may have an adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s insurance business, both because such conditions may decrease the returns on, and value of, its investment portfolio and because its liabilities are sensitive to changing market factors.
Changes in laws or regulations governing New Mount Logan’s operations may adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business or cause New Mount Logan to alter its business strategy.
As is the case for Mount Logan, New Mount Logan, and particularly its insurance business, is and will be subject to regulation at the municipal, local, state, and federal level, including in some cases in both the United States and Canada. New legislation may be enacted, or new interpretations, rulings or regulations could be adopted, including those governing the types of reinsurance products in which Ability deals, any of which could harm New Mount Logan and its shareholders, potentially with retroactive effect.
Additionally, any changes to the laws and regulations governing New Mount Logan or its business activities may cause New Mount Logan to alter its strategy to avail itself of new or different opportunities. Such changes could result in material differences to strategies and plans as set forth in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and may result in New Mount Logan’s business focus shifting to other types of activities in which the management of New Mount Logan may have less expertise or little or no experience. Thus, any such changes, if
47

they occur, could have a material adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s financial condition and results of operations.
Any changes in tax regulations or tax reform may have an adverse impact on investors and policyholders.
As is the case with Mount Logan, there is the potential that tax changes in the United States or Canada could result in adverse effects on New Mount Logan’s financial results and share price. New Mount Logan cannot predict how changes in tax legislation will affect New Mount Logan or New Mount Logan’s business (including Ability), but these provisions may in certain circumstances negatively affect New Mount Logan’s financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows.
There can be no guarantee as to the timing or amount of dividends, and shareholders may not receive dividends.
Holders of New Mount Logan Common Stock will not have a right to dividends on such shares unless declared by the New Mount Logan Board. The declaration of dividends will be at the discretion of the New Mount Logan Board, even if New Mount Logan has sufficient distributable cash to pay such dividends. The declaration of any dividend will depend on New Mount Logan’s financial results, cash requirements, future prospects and other factors deemed relevant by the New Mount Logan Board.
Dividends are not guaranteed, and the amount of any dividend may fluctuate or be reduced or eliminated. There can be no assurance as to the levels of dividends to be paid by New Mount Logan, if any. The market value of the New Mount Logan Common Stock may deteriorate if New Mount Logan is unable to pay dividends and such deterioration may be material.
Holders of New Mount Logan Common Stock will be entitled to receive only such dividends as the New Mount Logan Board may declare out of funds legally available for such payments. New Mount Logan is incorporated in Delaware and governed by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Delaware law allows a corporation to pay dividends only out of surplus, as determined under Delaware law or, if there is no surplus, out of net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend was declared and/or for the preceding fiscal year. Under Delaware law, however, New Mount Logan will not be able to pay dividends out of net profits if, after New Mount Logan pays the dividend, New Mount Logan’s capital would be less than the capital represented by the outstanding stock of all classes, if any, having a preference upon the distribution of assets. New Mount Logan’s ability to pay dividends will be subject to New Mount Logan’s future earnings, capital requirements and financial condition, as well as its compliance with covenants related to any indebtedness of New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries and would only be declared in the discretion of the New Mount Logan Board. Additionally, subject to certain limited exceptions, income received by Ability may only be used for the benefit of policyholders, so such proceeds will not be available for the payment of dividends to holders of New Mount Logan Common Stock.
New Mount Logan will be subject to changes in accounting policies or accounting standards.
From time to time, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) and the SEC can be expected to change their guidance governing the form and content of New Mount Logan’s external financial statements. In addition, accounting standard setters and those who interpret accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), such as the FASB, the SEC and New Mount Logan’s outside auditors, may change or even reverse their previous interpretations or positions on how these standards should be applied. Such changes are expected to continue. Changes in U.S. GAAP and changes in current interpretations are beyond New Mount Logan’s control, can be hard to predict and could materially impact how it reports financial results and condition. In certain cases, New Mount Logan could be required to apply a new or revised guidance retroactively or apply existing guidance differently, which may result in restating prior period financial statements for material amounts. Additionally, significant changes to U.S. GAAP may require costly technology changes, additional training and personnel and other expenses that would negatively impact results of operations.
The value of New Mount Logan Common Stock may fluctuate.
48

The market value of New Mount Logan’s Common Stock will fluctuate with changes in, among other things, changes in the amount of New Mount Logan dividends, market reaction to any acquisitions or other transactions, and liquidity in the trading of New Mount Logan Common Stock. Such changes in value may occur as a result of various factors, including those described above and general economic and market conditions and the performance of New Mount Logan relative to entities engaged in similar businesses.
New Mount Logan will incur increased costs as a result of operating as a U.S. public company.
As a U.S. public company, New Mount Logan will incur significant legal, accounting, insurance and other expenses that Mount Logan has not incurred, or incurred only to a lesser extent, as a Canadian public company. Among other costs, New Mount Logan will incur costs associated with its compliance with the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and related rules implemented by the SEC, and the listing standards of Nasdaq, and could incur costs in connection with possible shareholder litigation. The expenses incurred by U.S. public companies generally for reporting and corporate governance purposes have been increasing. New Mount Logan expects these laws and regulations to increase its legal and financial compliance costs and to make some activities more time-consuming and costly, although it is currently unable to estimate these costs with any degree of certainty. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult or costly for New Mount Logan to obtain certain types of insurance, including director and officer liability insurance, and New Mount Logan may be forced to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. These laws and regulations could also make it more difficult for New Mount Logan to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on its board of directors, its board committees or as its executive officers. Furthermore, if New Mount Logan is unable to satisfy its obligations as a U.S. public company, it could be subject to delisting of the New Mount Logan Common Stock, fines, sanctions and other regulatory action and potentially civil litigation.
If New Mount Logan fails to maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting, its ability to produce timely and accurate financial statements or comply with applicable regulations could be impaired.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires, among other things, that New Mount Logan maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting. In addition, pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley-Act, New Mount Logan is required to perform system and process evaluation and testing of its internal control over financial reporting to allow New Mount Logan’s management to furnish a report on, among other things, the effectiveness of New Mount Logan’s internal control over financial reporting.
In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness of New Mount Logan’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, it will expend significant resources, including accounting-related costs and significant management oversight. If any of these new or improved controls and systems do not perform as expected, New Mount Logan may experience deficiencies in New Mount Logan’s controls.
During the evaluation and testing process of New Mount Logan’s internal controls in future years, if New Mount Logan identifies one or more material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting, it will be unable to certify that New Mount Logan’s internal control over financial reporting is effective. New Mount Logan cannot assure you that there will not be material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting in the future, and its testing, or the subsequent testing by its independent public accounting firm, may reveal deficiencies in New Mount Logan’s internal control over financial reporting that are deemed to be material weaknesses.
New Mount Logan’s current controls and any new controls that it develops may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in its business. Further, weaknesses in New Mount Logan’s disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm its results of operations or cause it to fail to meet New Mount Logan’s reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of its financial statements for prior periods. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent
49

registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting that New Mount Logan is required to include in its periodic reports that will be filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in New Mount Logan’s reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of New Mount Logan Common Stock. In addition, if New Mount Logan is unable to continue to meet these requirements, New Mount Logan may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.
If New Mount Logan is unable to assert that its internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if its independent registered public accounting firm is unable to express an opinion on the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of New Mount Logan’s financial statements, the market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock could decline and it could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. Any failure to maintain effective disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting could have an adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, results of operations and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market price of New Mount Logan Common Stock.
Any misconduct by Mount Logan’s current and former, and New Mount Logan’s future, employees, directors, advisers, third-party service providers or others affiliated with New Mount Logan could harm New Mount Logan by impairing New Mount Logan’s ability to attract and retain investors and by subjecting New Mount Logan to significant legal liability, regulatory scrutiny and reputational harm.
There is a risk that Mount Logan’s (and New Mount Logan’s future) employees, directors, advisers, third-party service providers or others affiliated with it could engage, including deliberately or recklessly, in misconduct or fraud that creates legal exposure for New Mount Logan and adversely affects its businesses. If anyone associated or affiliated with New Mount Logan were to engage, or be accused of engaging, in illegal or suspicious activities, harassment, impermissible discrimination, improper use or disclosure of confidential information, fraud, payment or solicitation of bribes, or any other type of similar misconduct or violation of other laws and regulations, New Mount Logan could suffer serious harm to its brand, reputation, be subject to penalties or sanctions, face difficulties in raising funds, suffer serious harm to New Mount Logan’s financial position and current and future business relationships, as well as face potentially significant litigation or investigations.
Climate change-related risks and regulatory and other efforts to address climate change could adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business.
Mount Logan does, and New Mount Logan will, face a number of risks associated with climate change, including risks related to the impact of U.S. and foreign climate-related legislation and regulation, as well as risks arising from climate-related business trends. Climate change-related regulations or interpretations of existing laws have resulted, and may continue to result, in enhanced disclosure obligations that could negatively affect New Mount Logan and also materially increase New Mount Logan’s regulatory burden. New Mount Logan may also face business trend-related climate risks. Certain asset management clients are increasingly taking climate-related risks into account in their investment decisions.
New Mount Logan will be subject to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics, disease outbreaks and other public health crises, which could impact New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition and results of operations in the future.
Mount Logan is, and New Mount Logan will be, subject to risks associated with pandemics, epidemics, disease outbreaks and other public health crises. Such public health crises could adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business in a number of ways, including by increasing volatility in the financial markets; preventing New Mount Logan from capitalizing on certain market opportunities; causing prolonged asset price inflation; hurting economic activity; straining New Mount Logan’s liquidity, which may impact New Mount Logan’s credit ratings and limit the availability of future financing; and reducing New Mount Logan’s ability to understand and foresee trends and changes in the markets in which New Mount Logan operate.
50

Delaware law, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan and the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws will contain certain provisions, including antitakeover provisions that limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.
The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan, the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws and the DGCL contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by the New Mount Logan Board and therefore depress the trading price of the New Mount Logan Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of the New Mount Logan Board or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in management. Among other things, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan and the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws include provisions regarding:
the ability of the New Mount Logan Board to issue shares of preferred stock, including “blank check” preferred stock and to determine the price and other terms of those shares, including preferences and voting rights, without stockholder approval, which could be used to significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer;
the limitation of the liability of, and the indemnification of, New Mount Logan’s directors and officers;
the right of the New Mount Logan Board to elect a director to fill a newly created directorship created by the expansion of the New Mount Logan Board or a vacancy resulting from the resignation or death of a director, which, in some cases, prevents stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on the New Mount Logan Board;
controlling the procedures for the conduct and scheduling of the New Mount Logan Board and stockholder meetings;
the ability of the New Mount Logan Board to amend the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws, which may allow the New Mount Logan Board to take additional actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover and inhibit the ability of an acquirer to amend the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws to facilitate an unsolicited takeover attempt;
advance notice procedures with which stockholders must comply to nominate candidates to the New Mount Logan Board or to propose matters to be acted upon at a stockholders’ meeting, which could preclude stockholders from bringing matters before annual or special meetings of stockholders and delay changes in the New Mount Logan Board and also may discourage or deter a potential acquirer from conducting a solicitation of proxies to elect the acquirer’s own slate of directors or otherwise attempting to obtain control of New Mount Logan;
the elimination of stockholders’ ability to act by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders;

the classification of the New Mount Logan Board into three classes, each serving a three-year term, and with each director only being able to be removed for cause, which could delay changes in the New Mount Logan Board by increasing the amount of time required to replace a majority of directors sitting on the New Mount Logan Board; and

the exclusive right of the New Mount Logan Board to determine the number of directors constituting the whole Board.

These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in the New Mount Logan Board or management.
51

In addition, because New Mount Logan has not chosen to be exempt from Section 203 of the DGCL, this provision could also delay or prevent a change of control that New Mount Logan stockholders may favor. Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, subject to certain exceptions.
Any provision of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan, the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control could limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of New Mount Logan’s capital stock and could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for New Mount Logan’s common stock.
The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan could prevent New Mount Logan from benefiting from corporate opportunities that might otherwise have been available to New Mount Logan.

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the law of the State of Delaware, New Mount Logan’s officers, directors and stockholders will have no obligation to refrain from:

engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business as New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries; or
competing, directly or indirectly, with New Mount Logan or any of its subsidiaries.

Additionally, New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will include a “corporate opportunity” waiver provision pursuant to which, to the fullest extent permitted by law, New Mount Logan’s officers, directors and stockholders will not be liable to New Mount Logan for breach of any fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that any such person (i) pursues or acquires any corporate opportunity or (ii) does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to New Mount Logan unless the potential transaction or corporate opportunity is expressly offered to a New Mount Logan director or officer in his or her capacity as a director or officer of New Mount Logan. This corporate opportunity waiver provision may exacerbate conflicts of interest between New Mount Logan and New Mount Logan’s directors, officers or stockholders because the provision may permit one of New Mount Logan’s officers, directors or stockholders to choose to direct a corporate opportunity to that other entity instead of New Mount Logan.

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan will designate the state courts of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by New Mount Logan’s stockholders, which could limit New Mount Logan’s stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with New Mount Logan or its directors, officers or other employees.
New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that unless New Mount Logan consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state courts of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on New Mount Logan’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers, employees or agents to New Mount Logan or New Mount Logan stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws, (iv) any action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws; or (v) any action asserting a claim against New Mount Logan or any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers, employees, or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine. However, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction over any such action, the action may be brought instead in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. In addition, New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the foregoing provision will not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the respective rules and regulations
52

promulgated thereunder; unless New Mount Logan consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district court for the District of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. These exclusive forum provisions may impose additional costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware and may limit the ability of a stockholder to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholder finds favorable for disputes with New Mount Logan or any of New Mount Logan directors, officers or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. New Mount Logan stockholders will not be deemed to have waived New Mount Logan’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder as a result of these exclusive forum provisions.
New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise receiving or acquiring any interest in any shares of New Mount Logan’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan.
This choice-of-forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with New Mount Logan or its directors, officers, stockholders, agents or other employees, or could result in increased costs for a stockholder to bring a claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Delaware, which may discourage such lawsuits. New Mount Logan notes that there is uncertainty as to whether a court would enforce this provision, and the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ charter documents has been challenged in legal proceedings. Further, investors cannot waive compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. It is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable, and if a court were to find this provision of the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan inapplicable or unenforceable with respect to one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, New Mount Logan may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could materially and adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition and results of operations and result in a diversion of the time and resources of New Mount Logan’s management and board of directors.
Risks related to Mount Logan’s Business – New Mount Logan’s Relationship with BCPA
New Mount Logan will rely on BCPA and Key BCPA Personnel.
As is the case with Mount Logan, the success of New Mount Logan, which is expected to have a limited number of employees, will depend, in large part, upon the skill, expertise and network of relationships of key BCPA personnel to develop and implement strategies that achieve New Mount Logan’s business objectives, and upon BCPA providing certain administrative and other services to New Mount Logan. The senior management of New Mount Logan will be comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management team of BCPA, and these individuals will have significant influence with respect to New Mount Logan’s business plans and policies. There can be no assurance that any such senior management individuals will continue to be associated with BCPA. The loss or reduction of the services of one or more such persons, including as a result of the death, disability or departure of one or more such persons, or to the extent any such persons do not dedicate sufficient time to Mount Logan, could have a material and adverse impact on the business or performance of New Mount Logan. In addition, such BCPA personnel have other responsibilities, including to BCPA, its clients and to other entities and organizations and, therefore, conflicts can be expected to arise in the allocation of investment opportunities and personnel and the management of time, services or functions. The fulfillment of such other responsibilities may not be in New Mount Logan’s best interests or in the best interest of New Mount Logan’s stockholders. In addition, BCPA and the BCPA Credit Affiliates are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with activities that are unrelated to or in direct conflict with those of New Mount Logan. As a result of these activities, BCPA, its officers and employees and the BCPA Credit Affiliates will have conflicts of interest in allocating their time between New Mount Logan and other activities in which they are or may become involved, including the management of funds advised by BCPA. The ability of BCPA and such personnel to access other resources for the benefit of New Mount Logan may be limited under certain circumstances. In addition, the success of New Mount
53

Logan will depend to a significant extent on BCPA continuing to provide staffing, services and support to New Mount Logan pursuant to the arrangements described above. BCPA personnel, including New Mount Logan’s senior management that is shared with BCPA, will devote as much time to New Mount Logan as such individuals deem appropriate but that will not be the entirety of their time dedicated to business activities. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Mount Logan” for additional information.
New Mount Logan’s expected relationship with BCPA will result in significant actual and potential conflicts of interest that could impact New Mount Logan’s business.
As is the case with Mount Logan, New Mount Logan’s expected relationship with BCPA will result in significant actual and potential conflicts of interests. Addressing conflicts of interests (i) is complex, (ii) may result in New Mount Logan dedicating additional resources, incurring additional costs and implementing more administratively burdensome policies and procedures to address conflicts-related matters and (iii) may require New Mount Logan’s board of directors to spend considerable time analyzing and assessing conflicts-related matters. Such actions, together with the use of a special committee of disinterested directors or a board otherwise authorizing the disinterested directors to approve a transaction where actual or potential conflicts are present, may not result in terms that could otherwise be negotiated on an arm’s length basis between unrelated parties. New and different types of conflicts should be expected to arise in the future. BCPA and the BCPA Credit Affiliates engage in a broad range of business activities and have interests directly and indirectly in a wide range of enterprises. Such interests will conflict with and may adversely affect the performance and operations of New Mount Logan’s business. None of BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates is generally restricted, relative to New Mount Logan, from engaging in any types of activities and accordingly, such activities are expected to compete with New Mount Logan. Moreover, in circumstances where New Mount Logan or a client of one of its subsidiaries is invested alongside any of the foregoing (including BCPA clients), conflicts will arise with respect to such holdings, which may create circumstances where different actions or decisions are made or taken with respect to New Mount Logan or such client of its subsidiary relative to BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates, as the case may be. See “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Mount Logan” for additional information.
BCPA will be able to terminate the Staffing Agreement and Servicing Agreement upon 60 days’ written notice, and New Mount Logan, which is expected to have a limited number of employees, may not be able to find a suitable replacement for such services provided under those agreements within that time, resulting in a disruption in New Mount Logan’s operations, which could adversely affect New Mount Logan’s financial condition, business or results of operations.
New Mount Logan expects that BCPA will continue to provide it with staffing, administrative and other services that it has historically provided to Mount Logan pursuant to the arrangements that are described in more detail in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.” Pursuant to the terms of the Staffing Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, BCPA will have the right to terminate either agreement upon 60 days’ written notice. If BCPA terminates either agreement, it may be difficult to find replacement arrangements providing for similar expertise and the ability to provide the same or equivalent services on acceptable terms within 60 days, or at all. If replacement arrangements are not quickly identified, New Mount Logan’s business, results of operations and financial condition, together with New Mount Logan’s ability to pay distributions, are likely to be adversely affected and the value of New Mount Logan’s Common Stock may decline. In addition, the coordination of New Mount Logan’s management and administrative functions are likely to suffer if New Mount Logan is unable to identify and reach an agreement with a single institution having the expertise possessed by BCPA. Even if a comparable service provider or individuals performing such services are retained, their integration into New Mount Logan’s business and lack of familiarity with New Mount Logan’s business strategy may result in additional costs and time delays that may materially adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business, results of operations or financial condition.
The Staffing Agreement or Servicing Agreement with BCPA may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, or other similar or alternative arrangements may be entered into with BCPA from time to time, and such amendments, modifications or other arrangements may create different incentives for BCPA than exist today or may otherwise create additional conflicts of interest.
54


In the future, Mount Logan and its subsidiaries or New Mount Logan and its subsidiaries may, from time to time, (i) agree to amend, modify, supplement or otherwise change the Staffing Agreement, Servicing Agreement or aspects of such agreements, and (ii) may otherwise agree to enter into additional, alternative or similar arrangements with BCPA. As of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Mount Logan and BCPA have discussed potential amendments to the BCPA Arrangements relating to some or all of the employees of Mount Logan or its subsidiaries or New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries instead becoming employees of BCPA or one of its affiliates and changes to the compensation arrangements with BCPA, including the methodology for determining the compensation of BCPA (including, without limitation, such compensation being paid in the form of equity compensation and/or determined on the basis of metrics tied to Mount Logan’s or New Mount Logan’s consolidated assets or performance). Such amendments are expected to be agreed to and implemented contemporaneously with the completion of the Business Combination or at some other time in the future. Such amendments, modifications, supplements or other changes to the Staffing Agreement or Servicing Agreement, or any such additional, alternative or similar arrangements with BCPA may create different incentives for BCPA than exist today or may otherwise create additional conflicts of interest. For example, if Mount Logan or New Mount Logan agrees to compensate BCPA on metrics tied to Mount Logan’s or New Mount Logan’s assets or performance, BCPA and its personnel may be influenced by such arrangements and may be incentivized to undertake activities on behalf of Mount Logan or New Mount Logan that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements, which may materially adversely affect Mount Logan’s or New Mount Logan’s business, results of operations or financial condition.

BCPA’s liability is limited under the Servicing and Staffing Agreements, and New Mount Logan is required to indemnify BCPA against certain liabilities, which may lead BCPA to act in a riskier manner on New Mount Logan’s behalf than it would when acting for its own account.
Under the terms of the Staffing Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as is the case for Mount Logan, BCPA will not assume any responsibility to New Mount Logan other than to render the services described in such agreements. Pursuant to the terms of such agreements, BCPA and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with BCPA will not be liable to New Mount Logan for their acts under such agreements, absent criminal conduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of their duties and obligations. New Mount Logan will agree to indemnify, defend and protect BCPA and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with BCPA with respect to all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of BCPA’s duties or obligations under such agreements, and not arising out of criminal conduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of their duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of their duties and obligations under such agreements. These protections may lead BCPA to act in a riskier manner when acting on New Mount Logan’s behalf than it would when acting for its own account.
New Mount Logan’s financial condition and results of operations will depend in large part on BCPA’s ability to effectively support New Mount Logan’s business.
As is the case with Mount Logan, New Mount Logan’s ability to succeed in the future will depend on BCPA’s ability to effectively support New Mount Logan’s business, which depends, in turn, on BCPA’s ability to dedicate sufficient time and resources to New Mount Logan. Accomplishing execution of New Mount Logan’s business objectives on a cost-effective basis will depend in large part on BCPA’s ability to provide competent, attentive and efficient services and access to business opportunities through BCPA’s relationships. Even if New Mount Logan is able to grow, any failure to manage that growth effectively could have a material and adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. The results of New Mount Logan’s operations will depend on many factors, including the availability of business opportunities, readily accessible funding alternatives in the financial markets and economic conditions. A number of entities compete with BCPA for business opportunities and some of those competitors are substantially larger and have considerably greater resources. In addition, New Mount Logan will compete with other entities that are managed by BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates or in which BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates have an interest. These competitive

pressures could have a material and adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition or prospects. As a result of this competition, New Mount Logan can provide no assurance that it will be able to take advantage of attractive business opportunities that may arise from time to time.
Because New Mount Logan’s business model will depend upon relationships with various counterparties, the inability of BCPA to maintain or develop these relationships, or the failure of these relationships to generate business opportunities, could adversely affect New Mount Logan’s business.
If BCPA fails to maintain its existing relationships, or develop new relationships, on which Mount Logan currently relies, and on which New Mount Logan will rely, to generate business opportunities, New Mount Logan may not be able to grow and its business could be materially and adversely impacted. In addition, entities and individuals with whom BCPA has relationships generally are not obligated to provide BCPA with business opportunities and, therefore, there is no assurance that such relationships will generate business opportunities for New Mount Logan.
Risks Related to Mount Logan’s Business – Asset Management
The asset management business is competitive.
The asset management business is competitive, with competition based on a variety of factors, including investment performance, business relationships, quality of service provided to clients, client liquidity and willingness to invest, fund terms (including fees), brand recognition and business reputation. New Mount Logan, through ML Management, will compete for prospective clients with a number of other asset managers, public and private funds, business development companies, interval funds and others. Numerous factors increase ML Management’s competitive risks, including:
a number of ML Management competitors have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources and more personnel than ML Management does;
several of ML Management’s competitors have raised significant amounts of capital, and many of them have similar investment objectives to those of ML Management, which may create additional competition for prospective clients and investment opportunities;
some of ML Management’s competitors may have a lower cost of capital and access to funding sources that are not expected to be available to ML Management, which may create competitive disadvantages for ML Management;
some of ML Management’s competitors may be subject to less regulation and, accordingly, may have more flexibility to undertake and execute certain business or investments than ML Management does and/or bear less compliance expense than ML Management does;
some of ML Management’s competitors may have better expertise or be regarded by prospective clients as having better expertise in a specific asset class or geographic region than ML Management does; and
other industry participants may, from time to time, seek to recruit its investment professionals and other employees away from ML Management.
In addition, current or prospective clients of ML Management may negotiate for lower fees or more limited reimbursement requirements relating to expenses. Such economic terms may be less favorable, reducing ML Management’s financial opportunity from any such asset management activities.
These and other competitive pressures could adversely affect ML Management, which in turn may adversely impact New Mount Logan’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
56

Additionally, BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates may establish one or more other asset management businesses, which may be competitive with ML Management and would lead to additional conflicts of interest. For example, individuals providing services to ML Management would likely be expected to provide similar services for any such new asset management business as well, and would face conflicts of interest in allocating time to the activities of ML Management and any such new asset management business. See the section “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Mount Logan” for additional information.
New Mount Logan may experience a decline in revenue associated with its asset management business for a variety of reasons.
Mount Logan’s asset management business derives, and New Mount Logan’s asset management business will derive, revenues from fees generated from advisory and other services such business provides.
Certain fees that ML Management may earn, such as origination, arranger, structuring and other similar fees, are driven in part by the pace at which ML Management sources investment opportunities. Any decline in such pace would reduce ML Management’s fee income from such sources. Likewise, any increase in the pace at which the clients ML Management manages exit investments would reduce origination, arranger, structuring and other similar fees to the extent additional investment opportunities are not available to redeploy all or a portion of the proceeds. New Mount Logan’s ability to maintain or grow these services, and the related fees ML Management will earn therefrom, will depend on a number of factors, some of which are outside New Mount Logan’s control, including conditions in the debt, equity or merger markets.
In addition, with respect to any clients that are funds regulated under the 1940 Act, each such fund’s investment management agreement must generally be re-approved annually by such fund’s board of directors or by the vote of a majority of the stockholders and the majority of the independent members of such fund’s board of directors. Moreover, as required by the 1940 Act, these contracts are terminable without penalty upon 60 days’ written notice. Because New Mount Logan, through ML Management, expects to receive management fees and other revenue from investment advisory agreements that are subject to the foregoing requirements, there can be no assurance that such agreements will remain in place, which could result in a loss of revenue.
If a client of ML Management performs poorly, ML Management may receive little or no performance fees, if applicable. In addition, poor performance may result in lower assets under management and a corresponding reduction in fee-related revenue. With respect to any private fund clients, if as a result of poor performance of later investments in a such a fund’s life, that fund does not achieve investment returns that exceed a specified return threshold for the life of the fund, ML Management could be obligated to repay the amount by which performance fees that were previously distributed to ML Management exceeds amounts to which ML Management is ultimately entitled.
New Mount Logan, through ML Management, is expected to receive collateral management fees pursuant to collateral management agreements for acting as the collateral manager of certain of the collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). If all the notes issued by one of the CLOs are redeemed, or if the collateral management agreement is otherwise terminated, ML Management will no longer receive collateral management fees from that CLO. In general, a collateral management agreement may be terminated both with and without cause at the direction of holders of a specified supermajority in principal amount of the notes issued by the CLO. Furthermore, such fees are based on the total amount of assets held by the CLO. If the assets held by the CLO are prepaid or go into default, ML Management will receive lower collateral management fees than expected or the collateral management fees may be eliminated. In addition, collateral management agreements typically provide that if certain over-collateralization tests are failed, the collateral management agreement may be terminated by a vote of the security holders, which would result in ML Management’s loss of management fees from these CLOs.
In each instance, a decrease in the fees received by ML Management from its asset management activities will lead to a decrease in revenues and may have a materially adverse impact on New Mount Logan’s business and results of operations. The historical performance of Mount Logan’s asset management business should not be considered indicative of the future performance, which may vary considerably from historical performance.
57

New Mount Logan may be subject to focus by certain current or prospective clients or other stakeholders on environmental, social and governance matters.
Certain current or prospective clients, regulators and other stakeholders are increasingly focused on sustainability matters, such as climate change and environmental stewardship, human rights, support for local communities, corporate governance and transparency, or other environmental- or social-related areas. Certain stakeholder groups have increased their activism and scrutiny of asset managers’ approaches to considering sustainability matters as part of their investment management decision making. Moreover, a growing number of states having enacted or proposed policies or legislation or have engaged in related litigation regarding sustainability matters. Increased focus and activism related to sustainability matters may constrain New Mount Logan’s asset management-related business opportunities or otherwise negatively impact New Mount Logan’s prospects or results of operations.
Growing interest on the part of various stakeholders, including regulators, in sustainability factors and increased demand for, and scrutiny of, asset managers’ sustainability-related disclosure, have also increased the risk that asset managers could be perceived as, or accused of, making inaccurate or misleading statements regarding these matters. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material and adverse impact on New Mount Logan’s business and could lead to inquiries, investigations, or lawsuits.
Additionally, New Mount Logan’s business could be adversely affected if it fails to comply with applicable sustainability regulations. If regulators enact new rules, it may materially and adversely affect New Mount Logan in various ways, including the incurrence of significant compliance costs and an increase in the risk of litigation and regulatory action.
Valuations for illiquid assets under management entail significant complications.
The value of any illiquid investments held by entities ML Management manages will generally be based on estimates of fair value as of the date of determination based on third-party valuations or models, or, in some cases, models developed by New Mount Logan. Because these valuations are inherently uncertain, they may fluctuate greatly from period to period. Also, they may vary greatly from the prices that would be obtained if the assets were to be liquidated on the date of the valuation. In addition, if any such illiquid investments are in industries or sectors that are unstable, in distress, or undergoing some uncertainty, such investments will be subject to rapid changes in value caused by sudden company-specific or industry-wide developments.
If realized values are significantly lower than the estimated value, there could be a decline in ML Management’s management fees (particularly expected performance fees, if any). If actual asset values turn out to be materially different compared to those determined by the valuations described above, clients could lose confidence in ML Management which could, in turn, negatively impact New Mount Logan’s business, operations and financial results.
New Mount Logan, through ML Management, may only manage a limited number of funds and investments.
New Mount Logan, through ML Management, may only manage a limited number of funds or products, and each fund or product may participate in a limited number of investments. Such investments may be concentrated within relatively few industries, sectors, countries or regions. Such investments may be exposed to one or more common or systemic risks as result. The performance of New Mount Logan’s asset management business may be negatively affected by the unfavorable performance of a limited subset of funds or products or a small group or type of investments. Any such unfavorable performance may have a material adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, operations and financial results.
Risks Related to the Business – Insurance
New Mount Logan’s insurance business will be heavily regulated and changes in regulation could reduce New Mount Logan’s profitability.
58

As is the case with Mount Logan, New Mount Logan’s insurance and reinsurance subsidiary will be Ability, which is highly regulated by insurance regulators in the United States and changes in regulations affecting the Ability’s insurance business may reduce New Mount Logan’s profitability and limit its growth. Ability operates in 42 U.S. states and the District of Columbia. The insurance and reinsurance industry are generally heavily regulated and Ability’s operations in each of these jurisdictions are subject to varying degrees of regulation and supervision. The laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which Ability operates may require Ability to, among other things, maintain minimum levels of statutory capital, surplus and liquidity, meet solvency standards, submit to periodic examinations of its financial condition, and restrict payments of dividends and distributions of capital. Ability is also subject to laws and regulations that may restrict its ability to write insurance and reinsurance policies, make certain types of investments and distribute funds. With respect to investments, Ability must comply with applicable regulations regarding the type and concentration of investments it may make. These restrictions are set forth in investment guidelines that ML Management must comply with when providing investment management to Ability. These restrictions may limit Ability’s capacity to invest and ML Management’s ability to earn fees on those investments. In addition, Ability is subject to laws and regulations governing affiliate transactions. The investment management agreement between ML Management and Ability was approved by applicable insurance regulators, and any changes of such agreement, including with respect to fees, must receive applicable approval.
In connection with the conduct of Ability’s insurance and reinsurance business, it is crucial that Ability establish and maintain good working relationships with the various regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over its business. If those relationships and that reputation were to deteriorate, Ability’s business could be materially adversely affected. For example, Ability requires various consents and approvals from its regulators, both with respect to transactions Ability enters into and in the ordinary course of the conduct of its business. If Ability fails to maintain good working relationships with its regulators, it may become more difficult or impossible for Ability to obtain those consents and approvals, either on a timely basis or at all.
Regulations applicable to Ability and interpretations and enforcement of such regulations may change. Insurance regulators have increased their scrutiny of the insurance regulatory framework in the United States. Ability is unable to predict whether, when or in what form legislators will enact legislative and regulatory changes, and Ability cannot provide any assurances that more stringent restrictions will not be adopted from time to time in jurisdictions in which Ability conducts business.
The cost of compliance with existing laws and regulations is high and the cost of compliance with any new regulatory requirements could have a significant and negative effect on Ability’s business. Ability may not be able to comply fully with, or obtain desired exemptions from, any such new laws and regulations that govern the conduct of Ability’s business. Failure to comply with, or to obtain desired authorizations and/or exemptions under, any applicable laws could result in restrictions on Ability’s capacity to do business or undertake activities that are regulated in one or more of the jurisdictions in which Ability operates, could impact Ability’s potential growth and could subject Ability to fines and other sanctions. In addition, changes in the laws or regulations to which Ability is subject, or in the interpretations thereof by enforcement or regulatory agencies, could have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Ability operates in a highly competitive industry that includes a number of companies, many of which are larger and more well-known, which could limit Ability’s capacity to increase or maintain market share and/or margins.
Ability operates in highly competitive markets and competes with large and small industry participants. Ability faces intense competition, based upon price, terms and conditions, relationships with distribution partners and other clients, quality of service, capital and perceived financial strength (including independent rating agencies’ ratings), technology, innovation, ease of use, capacity, product breadth, reputation and experience, brand recognition and claims processing.
Ability’s competitors include other insurers, reinsurers and other financial institutions that offer investment products. Many of Ability’s competitors are large and well-established, and some have greater market share or breadth of distribution, assume a greater level of risk while maintaining financial strength ratings, or have higher
59

financial strength, claims-paying or credit ratings than Ability does or benefit, by offering various lines of insurance, from diversification of risks and possible positive impacts on capital requirements.
Ability’s competitors may also have lower operating costs than Ability, which may allow them to price insurance products, reinsurance solutions or acquisitions more competitively. Furthermore, Ability may face greater operational complexity when compared to competitors who offer a more limited range of products due to the breadth of Ability’s product offering.
The reinsurance industry is highly competitive, and Ability encounters significant competition in all lines of business from other reinsurance companies, as well as competition from other providers of financial services. Ability’s competitors vary by geographic market, and many of Ability’s competitors have greater financial resources than Ability does. Ability’s capacity to compete depends on, among other things, pricing and other terms and conditions of reinsurance agreements, Ability’s capacity to maintain strong financial strength ratings, and Ability’s service and experience in the types of business that Ability underwrites.
The insurance and reinsurance industries are subject to ongoing changes from market pressures brought about by customer demands, changes in law, changes in economic conditions such as interest rates and investment performance, technological innovation, marketing practices and new providers of insurance and reinsurance solutions. Failure to anticipate market trends or to differentiate Ability’s products and services may affect Ability’s capacity to grow or maintain its current position in the industry. A failure by the insurance industry to meet evolving consumer demands, including demands to address disparate impacts that may exist against certain groups in insurers’ underwriting and sales models, could adversely affect the insurance industry and Ability’s operating results. Similarly, Ability’s failure to meet the changing demands of its insurance company clients through innovative product development, effective distribution channels and investments in technology could negatively impact its financial performance over the long-term. Additionally, Ability’s failure to adjust its strategies in response to changing economic conditions could impact its competitive position and have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Because of the highly competitive nature of the insurance industry, there can be no assurance that Ability will maintain or grow its market share, continue to identify attractive opportunities in either the individual or institutional markets, or that competitive pressure will not have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Additionally, BCPA and certain of the BCPA Credit Affiliates have taken steps to establish a separate Cayman-domiciled reinsurance business, which will be competitive with Ability and will lead to additional conflicts of interest. For example, individuals providing services to Ability will provide similar services for such new reinsurance business as well, and will face conflicts of interest in allocating time to the activities of Ability and such new reinsurance business. In addition, there may be times when Ability cedes certain insurance products to, or otherwise engages in transactions with, such new reinsurance business, which may result in, among other things, a reduction in Ability’s assets and a related reduction in fee income earned by ML Management and a corresponding increase in such new reinsurance business’ assets and a related increase in fee income earned by BCPA. See the section “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions of Mount Logan” for additional information.

Differences between Ability’s policyholder behavior estimates, reserve assumptions and actual claims experience, in particular with respect to the timing and magnitude of claims and surrenders, may adversely affect Ability’s results of operations or financial condition.
Ability holds reserves to pay future policy benefits and claims. Ability’s reserves are estimated based on data and models that include many assumptions and projections, which are inherently uncertain and involve significant judgment, including assumptions as to the levels and/or timing of receipt or payment of premiums, benefits, claims, expenses, interest credits, investment results (including equity and other market returns), mortality, morbidity, longevity and persistency.
60

While Ability periodically reviews the adequacy of its reserves and the assumptions underlying those reserves, Ability cannot determine with precision the amounts that Ability will pay for, or the timing of payment of, actual benefits, claims and expenses or whether the assets supporting policy liabilities, together with future premiums, will grow to the level assumed prior to the payment of benefits or claims. For Ability’s reinsurance of fixed-rate annuities, reserves are equal to policyholder account balances before applicable surrender charges, and lapse, surrender rates and persistency assumptions are important assumptions used in calculating these reserves and drivers of profitability with respect to these products. Advances in technology, including predictive medical technology that enables consumers to select products better matched to their individual longevity or mortality risk profile and other medical breakthroughs that extend lives, could cause Ability’s future experience to deviate significantly from actuarial assumptions, which could significantly impact the level of reserves and profitability. The resulting acceleration of expense amortization, reduced spread or increased payments could have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
If actual experience differs significantly from assumptions or estimates, certain balances included in Ability’s balance sheet may not be adequate, particularly deferred acquisition costs, policy reserves and other actuarial balances. If Ability concludes that its reserves, together with future premiums, are insufficient to cover future policy benefits and claims, Ability would be required to increase its reserves and incur income statement charges for the period in which it makes the determination, which could have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, financial condition and results of operations. An increase in the statutory reserves of Ability may negatively affect liquidity and capitalization.
Estimates used in the preparation of financial statements and models for insurance products may differ materially from actual experience.
U.S. GAAP requires the application of accounting guidance and policies that often involve a significant degree of judgment when accounting for insurance products. These estimates include, but are not limited to, premium persistency, future policy benefits and related expenses, valuation of embedded derivatives, valuation and impairment of investments and amortization of deferred revenues and expenses, and the valuation and impairment of goodwill recognized in accordance with the acquisition of Ability. These accounting estimates require the use of assumptions, some of which are highly uncertain at the time of estimation. These estimates are based on judgment, current facts and circumstances and, when applicable, internally developed models. Therefore, actual results could differ from these estimates, possibly in the near term. Inaccuracies could result in, among other things, an increase in policyholder benefit reserves or acceleration of the amortization of deferred revenues and expenses, which would result in a charge to earnings, a restatement of Ability’s historical financial statements or other material adjustments. Additionally, the potential for unforeseen developments, including changes in laws, regulations or accounting standards, may result in losses and loss expenses materially different from the reserves initially established.
In addition, Ability employs models to price products, calculate reserves and value assets, as well as evaluate risk and determine capital requirements, among other uses. These models rely on estimates and projections that are inherently uncertain, may use incomplete, outdated or incorrect data or assumptions and may not operate properly. As Ability’s business continues to expand and evolve, the number and complexity of models it employs has grown, increasing exposure to error in the design, implementation or use of models, including the associated data input, controls and assumptions, and the controls in place to mitigate their risk may not be effective in all cases.
Ability’s historical growth rates may not be indicative of its future growth, and Ability may not be able to identify attractive insurance markets, reinsurance opportunities or investments with returns that are as favorable as Ability’s historical returns and grow new business volumes at historical levels.
Ability’s historical growth rates may not reflect its future growth rates. While Ability anticipates that it will continue to grow by deepening existing and adding new distribution relationships in Ability’s individual market, pursuing attractive reinsurance opportunities and expanding its funding agreement business in the institutional market, taking advantage of investment opportunities to support Ability’s growth, developing new products and entering new markets, Ability may not be able to identify opportunities to do so. With future growth, there can be no guarantee that Ability’s net underwriting return will be as favorable as its historic returns. Weaker margins may
61

challenge Ability’s capacity to grow profitably or at the returns targeted. Further, in order to maintain or increase investment returns, it may be necessary to expand the scope of Ability’s investing activities to asset classes in which Ability historically has not invested, which may increase the risk of Ability’s investment portfolio. If Ability is unable to find profitable growth opportunities, it will be more difficult for Ability to continue to grow, and could negatively affect its results of operations and financial condition.
Interest rate fluctuations could negatively affect the income Ability derives from the difference between the interest rates it earns on its investments and interest it pays under its reinsurance contracts.
Significant changes in interest rates expose reinsurance companies to the risk of reduced investment income or actual losses based on the difference between the interest rates earned on investments and the credited interest rates paid on outstanding reinsurance contracts. Both rising and declining interest rates can negatively affect the income Ability derives from these interest rate spreads. During periods of rising interest rates, Ability may be contractually obligated to reimburse its clients for the greater amounts they credit on certain interest-sensitive products. However, Ability may not have the ability to immediately acquire investments with interest rates sufficient to offset the increased crediting rates on its reinsurance contracts. During periods of falling interest rates, Ability’s investment earnings will be lower because new investments in fixed maturity securities will likely bear lower interest rates. Ability may not be able to fully offset the decline in investment earnings with lower crediting rates on underlying annuity products related to certain of its reinsurance contracts. Ability’s asset/liability management programs and procedures may not reduce the volatility of its income when interest rates are rising or falling, and thus Ability cannot assure you that changes in interest rates will not affect its interest rate spreads. Changes in interest rates may also affect Ability’s business in other ways. Higher interest rates may result in increased surrenders on interest-based products of Ability’s clients, which may affect its fees and earnings on those products. Lower interest rates may result in lower sales of certain insurance and investment products of Ability’s clients, which would reduce the demand for its reinsurance of these products. If interest rates remain low for an extended period, it may adversely affect Ability’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.
Ability faces risks associated with business it reinsures and business it cedes to reinsurers and which could cause a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
As part of Ability’s overall risk management strategy, it cedes business to other insurance companies through reinsurance. Ability’s inability to collect from its reinsurers (including reinsurance clients in transactions where Ability reinsures business net of ceded reinsurance) on its reinsurance claims could have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, results of operations and financial condition. Although reinsurers are liable to Ability to the extent of the reinsurance coverage it acquires, Ability remains primarily liable as the direct insurer on all risks that it writes; therefore, Ability’s reinsurance agreements do not eliminate its obligation to pay claims. As a result, Ability is subject to the risk that it may not recover amounts due from reinsurers. The risk could arise primarily in two situations: (i) Ability’s reinsurers may dispute some of its reinsurance claims based on contract terms, and, as a result, Ability may receive partial or no payment; or (ii) Ability’s reinsurers may default on their obligations. While Ability may manage these risks through transaction-related diligence, contract terms, collateral requirements, hedging, and other oversight mechanisms, Ability’s efforts may not be successful. A reinsurer’s insolvency, or its inability or unwillingness to make payments due to Ability under the terms of the relevant reinsurance agreements, could have a material adverse effect on Ability’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Ability also bears the risk that the companies that reinsure its mortality risk on a yearly renewable term, where the reinsurer may reset the premium and other terms each year, increase the premiums they charge to levels Ability deems unacceptable. If that occurs, Ability will either need to pay such increased premiums, which will affect margins and financial results, or alternatively, Ability will need to limit or potentially terminate reinsurance, which will increase the risks that Ability retains.
Conversely, Ability assumes liabilities from other insurance companies. Changes in the ratings, creditworthiness or market perception of such ceding companies or in the administration of policies reinsured to Ability could cause policyholders of contracts reinsured to Ability to surrender or lapse their policies in unexpected amounts. In addition, to the extent such ceding companies do not perform their obligations under the relevant
62

reinsurance agreements, Ability may not achieve the results intended and could suffer unexpected losses. In either case, Ability has exposure to reinsurance clients, which could materially and adversely affect Ability’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The determination of the amount of impairments and allowances for credit losses recognized on Ability’s investments is highly subjective and could materially affect its results of operations or financial condition.
The determination of the amount of impairments and allowances for credit losses is based upon Ability’s periodic evaluation and assessment of known and inherent risks associated with the respective asset class and the specific investment being reviewed. Such evaluations and assessments are revised as conditions change and new information becomes available. Management updates its evaluations regularly and reflects changes in allowances and impairments in its financial results as such evaluations are revised. Impairments result in a non-cash charge to earnings during the period in which the impairment charge is taken. Changes in allowances for credit losses can result in either a charge or credit to earnings.
For example, an allowance is recognized on Ability’s fixed maturity securities when the fair value of the security is less than its amortized cost basis and credit related losses are deemed to have occurred. The determination of the allowance requires assessment of the security’s expected future cash flows, which depend on a variety of macroeconomic factors and security-specific considerations. Similarly, the determination of the allowance on Ability’s mortgage and other loan receivables requires an assessment of expected credit losses that considers current, historical and forecasted macroeconomic data and loan-specific factors. As expectations change based on macroeconomic data and individual investment considerations, the associated allowance for credit losses can be adjusted, up or down.
There can be no assurance that management has accurately determined the amount of impairments and allowances for credit losses recognized in New Mount Logan’s financial statements and their potential impact on regulatory capital. Furthermore, additional impairments and allowance provisions may be taken in the future.
Ability’s liabilities for insurance products may prove to be inadequate, requiring Ability to increase liabilities which results in reduced net income and shareholders’ equity.
Liabilities for insurance products are calculated based on numerous assumptions including, but not limited to, investment yields, mortality, morbidity, withdrawals, lapses, cash flow assumptions and discount rates. Such assumptions are based on Ability’s experience, and in cases of limited experience, industry experience. Such assumptions also consider future expectations in policyholder behavior that may vary from past experience.
Many factors can affect these reserves and liabilities, such as economic and social conditions, inflation, hospital and pharmaceutical costs, changes in life expectancy, regulatory actions, changes in doctrines of legal liability and extra-contractual damage awards. Therefore, the reserves and liabilities Ability establishes are necessarily based on estimates, assumptions, industry data and prior years’ statistics. Ability’s financial performance depends significantly upon the extent to which Ability’s actual claims experience and future expenses are consistent with the assumptions Ability used in setting its reserves. If Ability’s future claims are higher than its assumptions, and Ability’s reserves prove to be insufficient to cover Ability’s actual losses and expenses, Ability would be required to increase Ability’s liabilities, and this could have a material adverse effect on Ability’s results of operations and financial condition.
Ability is subject to regulatory capital requirements in the United States.
Ability’s business is subject to external capital requirements in the United States, as required by Nebraska statute. Regulatory capital requirements for Ability are determined in accordance with guidelines issued by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”). The risk-based capital ratio (“RBC”) requirement is a statutory minimum level of capital that is based on two factors: an insurance company’s size, and the inherent riskiness of its financial assets and operations. That is, Ability must hold capital in proportion to its risk. Under those requirements, the amount of statutory capital and surplus maintained by an insurance company is to be determined
63

based on the various risk factors related to it. The minimum RBC ratio for Ability is 200% and Ability must have a ratio in excess of 300% to be able to write new business. Ability’s RBC ratio is tested annually at the end of Ability’s financial year and was in excess of the minimum requirement as of December 31, 2024. From time to time during a particular financial year, Ability may take steps to increase its RBC ratio to ensure it remains above the minimum requirement or exceeds the ratio required to write new business, which steps may include, among other things, securing additional funding. Failure to meet or exceed the regulatory capital requirements issued by NAIC could significantly limit Ability’s ability to write new business.
Ability will face risks associated with credit.
The assets and other debt securities in which Ability will invest, including mortgage loans, are subject to credit and liquidity risk. Any loan investment may become a defaulted obligation for a variety of reasons, including non-payment of principal or interest, as well as covenant violations by the borrower in respect of the underlying loan documents. A defaulted loan may become subject to either substantial workout negotiations or restructuring, which may entail, among other things, a substantial reduction in the interest rate, a substantial write-down of principal, and a substantial change in the terms, conditions and covenants with respect to such defaulted loan. In addition, such negotiations or restructuring may be extensive and protracted over time, and therefore may result in substantial uncertainty with respect to the ultimate recovery on such defaulted loan. In addition, substantial costs in such situations may be imposed on Ability, further affecting the value of the investment. The liquidity in defaulted loans may also be limited, and to the extent that defaulted loans are sold, it is highly unlikely that the proceeds from such sale will be equal to the amount of unpaid principal and interest thereon, which would adversely affect New Mount Logan’s financial condition and consequently, the market value of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock.
Ability will face due diligence risks.
The due diligence process undertaken by Ability in connection with investments that it expects to make or wishes to make, may not reveal all relevant facts in connection with an investment. Before making investments, Ability will conduct due diligence investigations that it deems reasonable and appropriate based on the facts and circumstances applicable to each investment. When conducting due diligence investigations, Ability may be required to evaluate important and complex business, financial, tax, accounting, environmental and legal issues. Outside consultants, legal advisors, accountants and investment banks may be involved in the due diligence process in varying degrees depending on the type of investment. Nevertheless, when conducting due diligence investigations and making an assessment regarding an investment, Ability relies on resources available, including information provided by the target of the investment and, in some circumstances, third party investigations. The due diligence investigations that are carried out with respect to any investment opportunity may not reveal or highlight all relevant facts that may be necessary.
Ability faces risks from borrower clients.
Each borrower client is also subject to risks which affect its financial condition. As Ability is not privy to all aspects of its clients’ businesses, it is impossible to predict exactly what risks borrowers will face. Nonetheless, typical risks include the following: (i) the success of Ability’s borrowers may depend on the management talents and efforts of certain key persons or a small group of persons. The death, disability or resignation of one or more of these persons could have a material adverse effect on a borrower; (ii) borrowers may require additional working capital to carry out their business activities and to expand their businesses. If such working capital is not available, or is not available on beneficial terms, the financial performance and development of the businesses of the borrowers may be adversely affected; (iii) damage to the reputation of the borrowers’ brands could negatively impact consumer opinion of those businesses or their related products and services, which could have an adverse effect on their business; (iv) borrowers may face competition, including competition from companies with greater financial or other resources, more extensive development, manufacturing, marketing, and other capabilities. There can be no assurance that Ability’s borrower clients will be able to successfully compete against their competitors or that such competition will not have a material adverse effect on their businesses; (v) borrowers may experience reduced revenues from the loss of one or more customers representing a high percentage of their revenues; (vi) borrowers may experience reduced revenues due to an inability to meet regulatory requirements, or may experience losses of
64

revenues due to unforeseeable changes in regulations imposed by various levels of government; (vii) borrowers may rely on government or other subsidy programs for revenue or profit generation, and changes to or elimination of such programs may have an adverse effect on the borrower; and (viii) borrowers may derive some of their revenues from foreign sources and may experience negative financial results based on foreign exchange losses, hedging costs or foreign investment restrictions.
Ability faces risks from prepayments by borrower clients.
Certain of Ability’s investments may be prepayable by the borrowers, subject to prepayment penalties. Ability is unable to predict if or when a borrower will make a prepayment. Typically, a borrower’s decision to prepay depends on its continued positive economic performance and the existence of favorable financing market conditions that permit the borrower to replace its existing financing with less expensive capital. As market conditions change frequently, it is difficult to predict if or when a borrower may deem market and business conditions to be favorable for prepayment. Prepayment by a borrower may have the effect of reducing the achievable yield of the loan to a level below that which was anticipated by Ability. Such a reduction may occur when Ability is unable to invest the funds prepaid by the borrower in other transactions with an expected yield greater than or equal to the yield Ability expected to receive from the prepaying borrower.
Ability faces risk of default by and bankruptcy of a borrower client.
A borrower’s failure to satisfy its borrowing obligations, including any covenants imposed by Ability, could lead to defaults and the termination of the borrower’s loans and enforcement against its assets. In order to protect and recover its investments, Ability may be required to bear significant expenses (including legal, accounting, valuation and transaction expenses) to the extent necessary to seek recovery upon default or to negotiate new terms with a defaulting borrower. In certain circumstances, a borrower’s default under one loan could also trigger cross-defaults under other agreements and jeopardize that borrower’s ability to meet its obligations under a loan agreement it may have with Ability.
Second priority liens on collateral securing debt investments that Ability makes may be subject to control by senior creditors with first priority liens. If there is a default, the value of the collateral may not be sufficient to repay in full both the first priority creditors and Ability.
Certain debt investments that Ability makes may be secured on a second priority basis by the same collateral securing first priority debt of such companies. The first priority liens on the collateral will secure the portfolio corporation’s obligations under any outstanding senior debt and may secure certain other future debt that may be permitted to be incurred by Ability under the agreements governing the loans. The holders of obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral will generally control the liquidation of and be entitled to receive proceeds from any realization of the collateral to repay their obligations in full before Ability. In addition, the value of the collateral in the event of liquidation will depend on market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. There can be no assurance that the proceeds, if any, from the sale or sales of all of the collateral would be sufficient to satisfy the debt obligations secured by the second priority liens after payment in full of all obligations secured by the first priority liens on the collateral. If such proceeds are not sufficient to repay amounts outstanding under the debt obligations secured by the second priority liens, then Ability, to the extent not repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the collateral, will only have an unsecured claim against the portfolio company’s remaining assets, if any.
The rights Ability may have with respect to the collateral securing the debt investments it makes with senior debt outstanding may also be limited pursuant to the terms of one or more intercreditor agreements that Ability enters into with the holders of senior debt. Under such an intercreditor agreement, at any time that obligations that have the benefit of the first priority liens are outstanding, any of the following actions that may be taken in respect of the collateral will be at the direction of the holders of the obligations secured by the first priority liens: the ability to cause the commencement of enforcement proceedings against the collateral; the ability to control the conduct of such proceedings; the approval of amendments to collateral documents; releases of liens on the
65

collateral; and waivers of past defaults under collateral documents. Ability may not have the ability to control or direct such actions, even if its rights are adversely affected.
Ability is subject to additional risks associated with investments in the form of loan participation interests.
Ability invests in loan participation interests in which another lender or lenders share with it the rights, obligations and benefits of a loan made by an originating lender to a borrower. Accordingly, Ability will not be in privity of contract with a borrower because the other lender or participant is the record holder of the loan and, therefore, Ability will not have any direct right to any underlying collateral for the loan. These loan participations may be senior, pari passu or junior to the interests of the other lender or lenders in respect of distributions from the loan. Furthermore, Ability may not be able to control the pursuit of any rights or remedies under the loan, including enforcement proceedings in the event of default thereunder. In certain cases, the original lender or another participant may be able to take actions in respect of the loan that are not in Ability’s best interests. In addition, in the event that (1) the owner of the loan participation interest does not have the benefit of a perfected security interest in the lender’s rights to payments from the borrower under the loan or (2) there are substantial differences between the terms of the loan and those of the applicable loan participation interest, such loan participation interest could be recharacterized as an unsecured loan to a lender that is the record holder of the loan in such lender’s bankruptcy, and the assets of such lender may not be sufficient to satisfy the terms of such loan participation interest. Accordingly, Ability may face greater risks from loan participation interests than if it had made loans directly to the borrowers.
Ability faces risk on the collateral securing Ability’s loans.
Where the loans provided by Ability are secured by a lien on specified collateral of the borrower (particularly inventory, receivables and tangible fixed assets), there is no assurance that Ability will have obtained or properly perfected its liens, or that the value of the collateral securing any particular loan will protect Ability from suffering a partial or complete loss if the loan becomes non-performing and Ability moves to enforce against the collateral. In such event, New Mount Logan could suffer losses that could have a material adverse effect. In addition, during its underwriting process, Ability will make an estimate of the value of the collateral. A decrease in the market value of collateral assets at a rate greater than the rate projected by Ability may adversely affect the current realization values of such collateral. The degree of realization risk varies by the business of the borrower and the nature of the security.
Ability may not be able to exercise control over borrower clients.
Ability will not always be in a position to exercise control over its borrower clients or prevent decisions by the management or shareholders of a borrower that may affect the fair value of an Ability loan, or otherwise affect the ability of the borrower to repay its obligations to Ability. Furthermore, Ability does not intend to take significant equity positions in its borrower clients. The lack of liquidity of debt positions that Ability will typically hold in its borrower clients results in the risk that Ability may not be able to dispose of its exposure to the borrower in the instance where a borrower is underperforming. This could have a material adverse effect on New Mount Logan.
Ability faces risks related to securities of borrower clients.
Ability anticipates lending to both public and private companies, which may include bonus features granting Ability securities of the client. The securities issued by private companies will be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or will be otherwise less liquid than publicly traded securities. To the extent Ability receives any form of securities issued by private companies, it may be difficult for Ability to dispose of such holdings if the need arises. Furthermore, if Ability is required to liquidate all or a portion of the securities it holds in an illiquid company, it may realize significantly less than the value at which it had previously recorded its holdings. In addition, Ability may face restrictions imposed by U.S. securities laws on its ability to liquidate or otherwise trade in securities of a borrower client, including, where Ability obtains material non- public information regarding such borrower.
Use of leverage and changes in interest rates may affect Ability’s cost of capital and net investment income.
66

Since Ability may from time to time use debt to finance a portion of its investments, its net investment income will depend, in part, upon the difference between the rate at which it borrows funds and the rate at which it invests those funds. As a result, New Mount Logan can offer no assurance that a significant change in market interest rates will not have a material adverse effect on Ability’s net investment income. In periods of rising interest rates when Ability has debt outstanding, Ability’s cost of funds will increase, which could reduce its net investment income. Ability expects that its long-term fixed-rate investments will be financed primarily with equity and long-term debt. Ability may use interest rate risk management techniques in an effort to limit its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. These activities may limit Ability’s capacity to participate in the benefits of lower interest rates with respect to the hedged portfolio. Adverse developments resulting from changes in interest rates or hedging transactions could have a material adverse effect on New Mount Logan’s business, financial condition and results of operations.
The ability of Ability to service any future outstanding debt depends largely on its financial performance and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and competitive pressures. The amount of leverage that Ability will employ at any particular time will depend on its assessments of market and other factors at the time of any proposed borrowing. As a result of Ability’s use of leverage: (i) shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock may be exposed to incremental risk of loss and a decrease in the value of Ability’s loan portfolio would have a greater negative impact on the value of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock if Ability did not use leverage; (ii) adverse changes in interest rates could reduce or eliminate the incremental income New Mount Logan receives from the proceeds of any leverage; (iii) Ability and, indirectly, New Mount Logan’s shareholders, will bear the entire cost of paying interest and repaying any borrowed funds; (iv) New Mount Logan’s ability to pay dividends on its common shares may be restricted by covenants or other restrictions imposed by Ability’s lenders; (v) Ability’s ability to amend its organizational documents or other agreements may be restricted if such amendments would result in a material adverse effect on its lenders; and (vi) Ability may, under some circumstances, be required to dispose of its assets under unfavorable market conditions in order to maintain its leverage, thus causing New Mount Logan to recognize a loss that might not otherwise have occurred. The extent to which the gains and losses associated with leveraged investing are increased will generally depend on the degree of leverage employed.
Risks Relating to 180 Degree Capital

Investing in 180 Degree Capital’s securities involves a number of significant risks. In addition to the other information contained in this joint proxy statement/prospectus, a 180 Degree Capital shareholder should carefully consider the following information before making an investment in 180 Degree Capital’s securities. The risk factors described below are the principal risk factors associated with an investment in 180 Degree Capital’s securities, as well as those factors generally associated with an investment company with investment objectives, investment policies, capital structure or trading markets similar to 180 Degree Capital's. In addition, the risk factors described below also describe the special risks of investing in a registered closed-end fund (“CEF”), including the risks associated with investing in a portfolio that includes small and developing or financially troubled businesses and/or thinly traded publicly traded securities of small publicly traded companies. Although the risks described below represent 180 Degree Capital’s material risks, they are not the only risks 180 Degree Capital faces. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to 180 Degree Capital, or not presently deemed material by it, might also impair 180 Degree Capital’s operations and performance. If any of the following events occur, 180 Degree Capital’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected. In such case, 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value and the trading price of TURN Common Shares could decline, and a 180 Degree Capital shareholder may lose all or part of his or her investment. If the Business Combination is completed, 180 Degree Capital is expected to deregister as an investment company under the 1940 Act and TURN Common Shares will no longer be listed on Nasdaq (for additional information, see “The Mergers – Deregistration and Delisting of 180 Degree Capital”), and thereafter, certain of the risks identified below relating to 180 Degree Capital’s status as an investment company under the 1940 Act and an investment in TURN Common Shares and the rights and other features of TURN Common Shares may no longer be applicable.
180 Degree Capital’s shares of common stock are trading at a discount to net asset value and may continue to do so in the future.

67

Shares of closed-end investment companies have frequently traded at a market price lower than the net asset value attributable to those shares. In part due to adverse economic conditions and increasing pressure within the financial sector, of which 180 Degree Capital is a part, TURN Common Shares have traded below 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value per share consistently since 2011. TURN Common Shares may continue to trade at a discount to net asset value in the future. The possibility that 180 Degree Capital’s shares of common stock may trade at a discount from net asset value over the long term is separate and distinct from the risk that 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value will decrease. 180 Degree Capital cannot predict whether TURN Common Shares will trade above, at, or below 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value. On December 31, 2024, TURN Common Shares closed at $3.67 per share, a discount of $0.97, or 20.9 percent, to 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value per share of $4.64 as of December 31, 2024. Should the proposed Business Combination be completed, New Mount Logan would be an operating company that does not report net asset value per share, and therefore the price per share of New Mount Logan Common Stock would not be measured based on a discount or premium to a net asset value per share.

Regulations governing 180 Degree Capital’s operation as a registered CEF may limit 180 Degree Capital’s ability to raise additional capital, as well as the way in which it does so, which could have a material adverse impact on 180 Degree Capital’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

180 Degree Capital’s business in the future may require a substantial amount of capital. It may acquire additional capital from the issuance of senior securities (including debt and preferred stock), the issuance of additional TURN Common Shares or from securitization transactions. However, it may not be able to raise additional capital in the future on favorable terms, or at all. Additionally, 180 Degree Capital may only issue senior securities up to the maximum amount permitted by the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act permits 180 Degree Capital to issue senior securities only in amounts such that 180 Degree Capital’s asset coverage, as defined in the 1940 Act, equals at least 300 percent after such issuance or incurrence. If 180 Degree Capital’s assets decline in value and it fails to satisfy this test, 180 Degree Capital may be required to liquidate a portion of its investments and repay a portion of 180 Degree Capital’s indebtedness at a time when such sales or repayment may be disadvantageous, which could have a material adverse impact on 180 Degree Capital’s liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

Senior Securities. As a result of issuing senior securities, 180 Degree Capital would also be exposed to typical risks associated with leverage, including an increased risk of loss. If 180 Degree Capital issued preferred securities, such securities would rank “senior” to common stock in 180 Degree Capital’s capital structure, resulting in preferred shareholders having separate voting rights and possibly rights, preferences or privileges more favorable than those granted to holders of TURN Common Shares. Furthermore, the issuance of preferred securities could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for TURN Common Shares or otherwise be in common shareholders’ best interest.

Additional Common Stock. The 180 Degree Capital Board may decide to issue common stock to finance 180 Degree Capital’s operations rather than issuing debt or other senior securities. As a CEF, 180 Degree Capital is generally not able to issue TURN Common Shares at a price below net asset value without first obtaining the required approvals from 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders and 180 Degree Capital’s independent directors. In any such case, the price at which 180 Degree Capital’s securities are to be issued and sold may not be less than a price that, in the determination of the 180 Degree Capital Board, closely approximates the market value of such securities at the relevant time. 180 Degree Capital may also make rights offerings to its shareholders at prices per share less than the net asset value per share, subject to the requirements of the 1940 Act. If 180 Degree Capital raises additional funds by issuing more common stock or senior securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, TURN Common Shares, the percentage ownership of 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders at that time would decrease, and such shareholders may experience dilution.

68

180 Degree Capital had no senior securities outstanding as of March 31, 2025, and it does not have any plans to issue senior securities prior to Closing. At Closing, shareholders of 180 Degree Capital will own shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock, and New Mount Logan will not be subject to the asset coverage requirements of the 1940 Act.

180 Degree Capital is a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, and, therefore, is not limited with respect to the proportion of 180 Degree Capital’s assets that may be invested in securities of a single issuer.

180 Degree Capital is classified as a non-diversified investment company within the meaning of the 1940 Act, which means that it is not limited by the 1940 Act with respect to the proportion of 180 Degree Capital’s assets that it may invest in securities of a single issuer. To the extent that 180 Degree Capital assumes large positions in the securities of a small number of issuers, 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value may fluctuate to a greater extent than that of a diversified investment company as a result of changes in the financial condition or the market’s assessment of the issuer. It may also be more susceptible to any single economic or regulatory occurrence than a diversified investment company. 180 Degree Capital does not have fixed guidelines for diversification, and therefore 180 Degree Capital’s investments could be concentrated in relatively few portfolio companies.

When 180 Degree Capital is a debt or minority equity investor in a portfolio company, 180 Degree Capital is often not in a position to exert influence on the entity, and other equity holders and management of the company may make decisions that could decrease the value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio holdings.
When 180 Degree Capital makes debt or minority equity investments, it is subject to the risk that a portfolio company may make business decisions with which it disagrees, and the other equity holders and management of such company may take risks or otherwise act in ways that do not serve 180 Degree Capital’s interests. As a result, a portfolio company may make decisions that could decrease the value of 180 Degree Capital’s investment.

180 Degree Capital’s business model depends upon the development and maintenance of strong referral relationships with asset managers, investment banking firms and other entities active in working with small publicly traded companies.

180 Degree Capital is substantially dependent on its informal relationships, which 180 Degree Capital uses to help identify and gain access to investment opportunities. If 180 Degree Capital fails to maintain its relationships with key firms, or if 180 Degree Capital fails to establish strong referral relationships with other firms or other sources of investment opportunities, 180 Degree Capital will not be able to grow its portfolio of equity investments and achieve its investment objective. In addition, persons with whom 180 Degree Capital has informal relationships are not obligated to inform it of investment opportunities, and therefore such relationships may not lead to the origination of equity or other investments. Any loss or diminishment of such relationships could effectively reduce 180 Degree Capital’s ability to identify attractive portfolio companies that meet its investment criteria, either for direct equity investments or for investments through private secondary market transactions or other secondary transactions.

180 Degree Capital’s equity securities may be affected by general economic and market conditions.

The success of 180 Degree Capital’s investment program may be affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of 180 Degree Capital’s investments. Unexpected volatility or illiquidity could impair 180 Degree Capital’s profitability or result in losses.

A significant portion of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio normally consists of common stocks and other equity securities (including derivatives). The value of 180 Degree Capital’s equity securities varies in response to many factors, including, but not limited to, the activities and financial condition of individual
69

companies, the business market in which individual companies compete and general market and economic conditions. Investments in small and microcapitalization public companies are generally riskier than investments in larger, well-established companies.

180 Degree Capital’s financial condition and results of operations could be negatively affected if a significant investment fails to perform as expected.

180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio includes investments that may be significant individually or in the aggregate. If a significant investment in one or more companies fails to perform as expected, such a failure could have a material adverse effect on 180 Degree Capital’s financial condition and results of operations, and the magnitude of such effect could be more significant than if 180 Degree Capital had further diversified 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio.

The value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio is subject to greater volatility than the value of companies with more broadly diversified investments.

While 180 Degree Capital is subject to certain diversification requirements regarding the concentration of investments in any one industry or group of industries at the time of each investment, it does not choose investments based on a strategy of diversification. 180 Degree Capital also does not rebalance the portfolio should one or more of its portfolio companies increase substantially in value relative to the rest of the portfolio. Therefore, the value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio may be more vulnerable to microeconomic events affecting a single sector, industry or portfolio company and to general macroeconomic events that may be unrelated to its portfolio companies. These factors may subject the value of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio to greater volatility than a company that follows a diversification strategy. Accordingly, an investment in TURN Common Shares may present greater risk to a 180 Degree Capital shareholder than an investment in a diversified company.

As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital’s largest 10 investments by value, excluding money market investments, accounted for approximately 98 percent of the value of its investment portfolio. 180 Degree Capital’s largest three investments, by value, excluding money market investments, Potbelly Corporation, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., and Brightcove, Inc., accounted for approximately 25 percent, 20 percent and 11 percent, respectively, of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio on December 31, 2024. Potbelly Corporation, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. and Brightcove, Inc. are publicly traded companies.

180 Degree Capital may expose itself to risks if it engages in hedging transactions.

If 180 Degree Capital engages in hedging transactions, it may expose itself to risks associated with such transactions. 180 Degree Capital may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio positions from changes in market conditions, currency exchange rates and market interest rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions. Such hedging transactions may also limit the opportunity for gain if the values of the underlying portfolio positions should increase. It may not be possible to hedge against an exchange rate or interest rate fluctuation that is so generally anticipated that 180 Degree Capital is not able to enter into a hedging transaction at an acceptable price. Moreover, for a variety of reasons, 180 Degree Capital may not seek to establish a perfect correlation between such hedging instruments and the portfolio holdings being hedged. Any such imperfect correlation may prevent 180 Degree Capital from achieving the intended hedge and expose it to risk of loss. In addition, it may not be possible to hedge fully or perfectly against currency fluctuations affecting the value of securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies because the value of those securities is likely to fluctuate as a result of factors not related to currency fluctuations.

Quarterly results fluctuate and are not indicative of future quarterly performance.
70


180 Degree Capital’s quarterly operating results fluctuate as a result of a number of factors. These factors include, among others, variations in, and the timing of, the recognition of realized and unrealized gains or losses, the degree to which 180 Degree Capital and its portfolio companies encounter competition in 180 Degree Capital’s markets, and general economic and capital markets conditions. As a result of these factors, results for any one quarter should not be relied upon as being indicative of performance in future quarters.

Investment in foreign securities could result in additional risks.

180 Degree Capital may invest in foreign securities. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital did not hold any foreign securities. When 180 Degree Capital invests in securities of foreign issuers, 180 Degree Capital may be subject to risks not usually associated with owning securities of U.S. issuers. These risks can include fluctuations in foreign currencies, foreign currency exchange controls, social, political and economic instability, differences in securities regulation and trading, varying custody, brokerage and settlement practices and expenses, expropriation or nationalization of assets, difficulty in pricing, less public information about issuers of foreign securities, the unavailability of financial information regarding the foreign issuer or the difficulty of interpreting financial information prepared under foreign accounting standards, less liquidity and more volatility in foreign securities markets and foreign taxation issues. In addition, changes in government administrations or economic or monetary policies in the United States or abroad could result in appreciation or depreciation of 180 Degree Capital’s securities and could favorably or unfavorably affect 180 Degree Capital’s operations. It may also be more difficult to obtain and enforce a judgment against a foreign issuer. Any foreign investments made by 180 Degree Capital must be made in compliance with U.S. and foreign currency restrictions and tax laws restricting the amounts and types of foreign investments.

Although most of 180 Degree Capital’s investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, 180 Degree Capital may from time to time invest in securities that are denominated in foreign currencies. 180 Degree Capital’s investments denominated in a foreign currency are subject to the risk that the value of a particular currency may change in relation to the U.S. dollar, in which currency 180 Degree Capital maintains financial statements and valuations. Among the factors that may affect currency values are trade balances, the level of short-term interest rates, differences in relative values of similar assets in different currencies, long-term opportunities for investment and capital appreciation and political developments.

As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital’s investments were not subject to foreign currency risk as they were all denominated in U.S. dollars.

180 Degree Capital’s strategy of writing covered calls and buying put options on public portfolio company securities held by it could result in it receiving a lower return for such investments than if it had not employed such a strategy.

There are several risks associated with transactions in options on securities. For example, there are significant differences between the securities and options markets that could result in an imperfect correlation between these markets, causing a given transaction not to achieve its objectives. A decision as to whether, when and how to use options involves the exercise of skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived transaction may be unsuccessful to some degree because of market behavior or unexpected events. As the writer of a covered call option, 180 Degree Capital forgoes, during the option’s life, the opportunity to profit from increases in the market value of the security covering the call option above the sum of the premium and the strike price of the call, but has retained the risk of loss should the price of the underlying security decline. The writer of an option has no control over the time when it may be required to fulfill its obligation as a writer of the option. Once an option writer has received an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction in order to terminate its obligation under the option and must deliver the underlying security at the exercise price.

As the buyer of a put option, 180 Degree Capital may incur losses if the price per share of the underlying stock to that option is above the strike price of the put option at the time of expiration, which would result in 180
71

Degree Capital’s put option expiring without value. Such expiration would reduce 180 Degree Capital’s overall returns on 180 Degree Capital’s investment in those publicly traded securities once they are sold.

Investing in 180 Degree Capital’s stock is highly speculative and an investor could lose some or all of the amount invested.

180 Degree Capital’s investment objectives and strategies may result in losses in the value of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio. 180 Degree Capital’s investments in small businesses, particularly 180 Degree Capital’s privately held portfolio companies, are highly speculative and, therefore, an investor in TURN Common Shares may lose his or her entire investment. The value of TURN Common Shares may decline and may be affected by numerous market conditions, which could result in the loss of some or all of the amount invested in TURN Common Shares. The securities markets frequently experience extreme price and volume fluctuations that affect market prices for securities of companies in general, and technology and very small capitalization companies in particular. Because of 180 Degree Capital’s focus on very small capitalization sectors, and because 180 Degree Capital is a very small capitalization company itself, 180 Degree Capital’s stock price is especially likely to be affected by these market conditions. General economic conditions may also affect the price of TURN Common Shares.

180 Degree Capital’s ability to enter into transactions with its affiliates is restricted.

180 Degree Capital is prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with certain of its affiliates without the prior approval of the SEC. Any person that owns, directly or indirectly, 5% or more of 180 Degree Capital’s outstanding voting securities will be 180 Degree Capital’s affiliate for purposes of the 1940 Act, and 180 Degree Capital will generally be prohibited from buying or selling any securities from or to such affiliate. The 1940 Act also prohibits certain “joint” transactions with certain of 180 Degree Capital’s affiliates, which could include investments in the same portfolio company (whether at the same or closely related times), without prior approval of the SEC. If a person becomes 180 Degree Capital’s affiliate, 180 Degree Capital will be prohibited from buying or selling any security from or to such person or certain of that person’s affiliates, or from entering into prohibited joint transactions with such persons, absent the prior approval of the SEC.

180 Degree Capital’s business may be adversely affected by the small size of 180 Degree Capital’s market capitalization.

Changes in regulations of the financial industry have adversely affected coverage of small capitalization companies such as 180 Degree Capital by financial analysts. A number of analysts that have covered 180 Degree Capital in the past are no longer able to continue to do so owing to changes in employment, to restrictions on the size of companies they are allowed to cover and/or the shut down of their firms’ operations. An inability to attract analyst coverage may adversely affect the liquidity of TURN Common Shares and 180 Degree Capital’s ability to raise capital from investors, particularly institutional investors. 180 Degree Capital’s inability to access the capital markets on favorable terms, or at all, may adversely affect 180 Degree Capital’s future financial performance. The inability to obtain adequate financing could force 180 Degree Capital to seek debt financing, self-fund strategic initiatives, or even forgo certain opportunities, which in turn could potentially harm 180 Degree Capital’s current and future performance.

180 Degree Capital is dependent upon key management personnel for future success, and may not be able to retain them.

None of 180 Degree Capital’s employees are subject to employment agreements. 180 Degree Capital’s ability to attract and retain personnel with the requisite credentials, experience and skills will depend on several factors including, but not limited to, 180 Degree Capital’s ability to offer competitive wages, benefits and professional growth opportunities. Many of the entities with which 180 Degree Capital will compete for experienced personnel, including investment funds and traditional financial services companies, will have greater resources than 180 Degree Capital.
72


180 Degree Capital is dependent upon the diligence and skill of its senior management and other key advisers for the selection, structuring, closing and monitoring of 180 Degree Capital’s investments. 180 Degree Capital uses lawyers and outside consultants to assist it in conducting due diligence when evaluating potential investments. 180 Degree Capital relies significantly on the diligence of its employees and advisers to obtain information in connection with 180 Degree Capital’s investment decisions. 180 Degree Capital’s future success depends to a significant extent on the continued service and coordination of 180 Degree Capital’s senior management team. The departure of any of 180 Degree Capital’s senior management or key advisers could materially and adversely affect 180 Degree Capital’s ability to implement its business strategy. 180 Degree Capital does not maintain for its benefit any key-person life insurance on any of 180 Degree Capital’s officers or employees.

The failure of cyber-security systems, as well as the occurrence of events unanticipated by 180 Degree Capital’s disaster recovery systems and management continuity planning, could impair 180 Degree Capital’s ability to conduct business effectively.

The occurrence of a disaster such as a cyber-attack, a natural catastrophe such as earthquakes, tornadoes and hurricanes, an industrial accident, events arising from local or larger scale political or social matters, including a terrorist attack or war, events unanticipated in 180 Degree Capital’s disaster recovery systems, major or prolonged power outages or network interruptions, public health crises, including infectious disease outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics or a support failure from external providers, could have an adverse effect on 180 Degree Capital’s ability to conduct business, its results of operations and its financial condition. This is particularly true if those events affect 180 Degree Capital’s computer-based data processing, transmission, storage, and retrieval systems or destroy data. If a significant number of 180 Degree Capital’s managers were unavailable in the event of a disaster, 180 Degree Capital’s ability to effectively conduct its business could be severely compromised.

180 Degree Capital depends upon computer systems to perform necessary business functions. Despite 180 Degree Capital’s implementation of a variety of security measures, its computer systems could be subject to cyber-attacks and unauthorized access, such as physical and electronic break-ins or unauthorized tampering. Like other companies, 180 Degree Capital may experience threats to 180 Degree Capital’s data and systems, including malware and computer virus attacks, unauthorized access, system failures and disruptions. If one or more of these events occurs, it could potentially jeopardize the confidential, proprietary, and other information processed, stored in, and transmitted through 180 Degree Capital’s computer systems and networks. It could also cause interruptions or malfunctions in 180 Degree Capital’s operations, which could result in damage to its reputation, financial losses, litigation, increased costs, regulatory penalties and/or shareholder dissatisfaction or loss.

180 Degree Capital is dependent on information systems and systems failures could disrupt 180 Degree Capital’s business, which may, in turn, negatively affect the market price of TURN Common Shares.

180 Degree Capital’s business is dependent on 180 Degree Capital’s and third-party communications and information systems. Any failure or interruption of those systems, including as a result of the termination of an agreement with any third-party service providers, could cause delays or other problems in 180 Degree Capital’s activities. 180 Degree Capital’s financial, accounting, backup or other operating systems and facilities may fail to operate properly or become disabled or damaged as a result of a number of factors, including events that are wholly or partially beyond 180 Degree Capital’s control, and adversely affect 180 Degree Capital’s business. These events, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on 180 Degree Capital’s operating results and negatively affect the market price of TURN Common Shares.

180 Degree Capital is subject to risks associated with its strategy of increasing assets under management by raising third-party funds to manage.

180 Degree Capital has announced its strategy to grow assets under management by raising one or more third-party funds to manage. It is possible that 180 Degree Capital will invest its own capital alongside or through
73

these funds in portfolio companies. There is no assurance when and if 180 Degree Capital will be able to raise such fund(s) or, if raised, whether they will be successful.

180 Degree Capital’s executive officers and employees, in their capacity as the investment adviser of a fund, may manage other investment funds in the same or a related line of business as 180 Degree Capital does. Accordingly, they may have obligations to such other entities, the fulfillment of which may not be in the best interests of 180 Degree Capital or its shareholders.

Ineffective internal controls could impact 180 Degree Capital’s business and operating results.

180 Degree Capital’s internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. If 180 Degree Capital fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if 180 Degree Capital experiences difficulties in their implementation, 180 Degree Capital’s business and operating results could be harmed and 180 Degree Capital could fail to meet its financial reporting obligations.

180 Degree Capital may in the future choose to pay dividends in TURN Common Shares, in which case 180 Degree Capital shareholders may be required to pay tax in excess of the cash they receive.

180 Degree Capital may distribute taxable dividends that are payable in part in TURN Common Shares. In accordance with certain applicable Treasury regulations and additional guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), a regulated investment company (“RIC,” as used in this section) may treat a distribution of its own common stock as fulfilling the RIC distribution requirements if each shareholder may elect to receive his or her entire distribution in either cash or common stock of the RIC, subject to a limitation that the aggregate amount of cash to be distributed to all shareholders must be at least 20 percent of the aggregate declared distribution. If too many shareholders elect to receive cash, each shareholder electing to receive cash must receive a pro rata amount of cash (with the balance of the distribution paid in common stock). Under current law, in no event will any shareholder that elects to receive cash receive less than 20 percent of his or her entire distribution in cash. If these and certain other requirements are met, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the amount of the dividend paid in common stock will be equal in value to the amount of cash that could have been received instead of common stock. Taxable shareholders receiving such dividends will be required to include the full amount of the dividend as ordinary income (or as long-term capital gain to the extent such distribution is properly reported as a capital gain dividend) to the extent of 180 Degree Capital’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, a U.S. shareholder may be required to pay tax with respect to such dividends in excess of any cash received. If a U.S. shareholder sells the stock it receives as a dividend in order to pay this tax, the sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the dividend, depending on the market price of TURN Common Shares at the time of the sale. Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. shareholders, 180 Degree Capital may be required to withhold U.S. tax with respect to such dividends, including in respect of all or a portion of such dividend that is payable in common stock. In addition, if a significant number of 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders determine to sell TURN Common Shares in order to pay taxes owed on dividends, it may put downward pressure on the trading price of TURN Common Shares.

180 Degree Capital is authorized to issue preferred stock, which would convey special rights and privileges to its owners that are senior to those of common stock shareholders.

180 Degree Capital is currently authorized to issue up to 2,000,000 shares of preferred stock, under terms and conditions determined by the 180 Degree Capital Board. These shares would have a preference over TURN Common Shares with respect to dividends and liquidation. The statutory class voting rights of any preferred shares 180 Degree Capital would issue could make it more difficult for 180 Degree Capital to take some actions that might, in the future, be proposed by the 180 Degree Capital Board and/or holders of common stock, such as a merger, exchange of securities, liquidation or alteration of the rights of a class of 180 Degree Capital’s securities,
74

if these actions were perceived by the holders of the preferred shares as not in their best interests. The issuance of preferred shares convertible into shares of common stock might also reduce the net income and net asset value per share of TURN Common Shares upon conversion.
Bank borrowing or the issuance of debt securities or preferred stock by 180 Degree Capital, to fund investments in portfolio companies or to fund 180 Degree Capital’s operating expenses, would make 180 Degree Capital’s total return to holders of TURN Common Shares more volatile.

Use of debt or preferred stock as a source of capital entails two primary risks. The first is the risk of leverage, which is the use of debt to increase the pool of capital available for investment purposes. The use of debt leverages 180 Degree Capital’s available common equity capital, magnifying the impact on net asset value of changes in the value of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio. For example, a registered CEF that uses 33% leverage (that is, $50 of leverage per $100 of common equity) will show a 1.5% increase or decline in net asset value for each 1% increase or decline in the value of its total assets. The second risk is that the cost of debt or preferred stock financing may exceed the return on the assets the proceeds are used to acquire, thereby diminishing rather than enhancing the return to holders of TURN Common Shares. If 180 Degree Capital issues preferred shares or debt, the holders of TURN Common Shares would bear the cost of this leverage. To the extent that 180 Degree Capital uses debt or preferred stock financing for any purpose, these two risks would likely make 180 Degree Capital’s total return to holders of TURN Common Shares more volatile. In addition, 180 Degree Capital might be required to sell investments, in order to meet dividend, interest or principal payments, when it might be disadvantageous for 180 Degree Capital to do so.

As provided in the 1940 Act and subject to some exceptions, 180 Degree Capital can issue debt or preferred stock so long as 180 Degree Capital’s total assets immediately after the issuance, less some ordinary course liabilities, exceed 300% of the sum of the debt and any preferred stock outstanding. The debt or preferred stock may be convertible in accordance with SEC guidelines, which might permit 180 Degree Capital to obtain leverage at more attractive rates. The requirement under the 1940 Act to pay, in full, dividends on preferred shares or interest on debt before any dividends may be paid on TURN Common Shares means that dividends on TURN Common Shares from earnings may be reduced or eliminated. An inability to pay dividends on TURN Common Shares could conceivably result in 180 Degree Capital’s ceasing to qualify as a RIC under the Code, which would, in most circumstances, be materially adverse to the holders of TURN Common Shares.

As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had no debt or preferred stock outstanding.

The need to satisfy certain asset diversification, gross income, and distributions requirements applicable to a RIC may limit investment flexibility of 180 Degree Capital.

To qualify as a RIC, among other requirements, 180 Degree Capital must meet certain asset diversification requirements at the end of each quarter of its taxable year, as well as certain gross income and distribution requirements at the end of its taxable year. Failure to meet these tests in any year may result in the failure of 180 Degree Capital to qualify as a RIC (see, below, “Failure to qualify as a RIC could reduce 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value and distributable income”). Satisfying these tests may require 180 Degree Capital to forgo certain investment opportunities or to borrow money or dispose of investments, including when it is disadvantageous to 180 Degree Capital to do so. In certain cases, 180 Degree Capital may choose to fail to qualify as a RIC, in which case the consequences to 180 Degree Capital would be as described below, under “Failure to qualify as a RIC could reduce 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value and distributable income.”

Failure to qualify as a RIC could reduce 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value and distributable income.

180 Degree Capital has elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code. For taxable years in which 180 Degree Capital qualifies as a RIC, 180 Degree Capital does not have to pay federal income taxes on 180 Degree Capital’s income (including realized gains) that is timely distributes to 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders. 180 Degree Capital did not qualify as a RIC in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 (the “Non-RIC Years”).
75

For any year in which 180 Degree Capital fails (or failed) to meet the requirements of qualification as a RIC, 180 Degree Capital generally would be taxed in the same manner as a C corporation, and distributions to 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders would not be deductible in computing 180 Degree Capital’s taxable income, which could materially and adversely impact the amount of cash available for distribution to 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders. In addition, to the extent that 180 Degree Capital had unrealized appreciation, it would need to establish reserves for taxes, which would reduce 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value accordingly. In addition, for any Non-RIC Years for which 180 Degree Capital accumulated earnings and profits (“E&P”), any future distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent of such accumulated E&P, potentially taxable as ordinary income. To maintain RIC status and avoid excise taxes, 180 Degree Capital may need to distribute accumulated E&P, which could impact cash flow, distribution policies, and net asset value. 180 Degree Capital does not expect to have a material tax liability in 2024 owing to net operating and capital losses that offset income and realized gains on investments during the year.

180 Degree Capital’s strategy of taking larger positions in a small number of portfolio companies has created more risk specifically relating to the asset diversification requirements of maintaining 180 Degree Capital’s RIC status.

A deemed dividend election could affect the value of TURN Common Shares.

If 180 Degree Capital, as a RIC, decides to make a deemed distribution of realized net capital gains and retains the net realized capital gains for any taxable year, also referred to as a deemed dividend, 180 Degree Capital would have to establish appropriate reserves for taxes that 180 Degree Capital would have to pay on behalf of shareholders. It is possible that establishing reserves for taxes could have a material adverse effect on the value of TURN Common Shares. Additionally, if 180 Degree Capital decides to make a deemed distribution and changes in tax law occur that would increase the dividend tax rates for individuals and corporations, the net benefit to shareholders from a deemed distribution could be adversely affected. Such changes, therefore, could reduce the overall benefit to 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders from 180 Degree Capital’s status as a RIC.

180 Degree Capital operates in a heavily regulated environment, and changes to, or non-compliance with, regulations and laws could harm 180 Degree Capital’s business.

180 Degree Capital is subject to substantive SEC regulations as a registered CEF. Securities and tax laws and regulations governing 180 Degree Capital’s activities may change in ways adverse to 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders’ interests, and interpretations of these laws and regulations may change with unpredictable consequences. Any change in the laws or regulations that govern 180 Degree Capital’s business could have an adverse impact on it and its operations. Changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance, valuation, public disclosure and market regulation, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the Dodd Frank Act, new SEC regulations, new federal accounting standards and Nasdaq Stock Market rules, create additional expense and uncertainty for publicly traded companies in general, and for registered CEFs in particular. These new or changed laws, regulations and standards are subject to varying interpretations in many cases because of their lack of specificity, and as a result, their application in practice may evolve over time, which may well result in continuing uncertainty regarding compliance matters and higher costs necessitated by ongoing revisions to disclosure and governance practices.

180 Degree Capital is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, 180 Degree Capital’s efforts to comply with evolving laws, regulations and standards have and will continue to result in increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities. 180 Degree Capital’s transition from a business development company to a registered CEF has decreased the amount of regulation applicable to 180 Degree Capital’s business as a registered CEF is not subject to certain of the reporting requirements and regulation under the Exchange Act that otherwise apply to business development companies and is exempt from certain reporting and internal control audit requirements under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Future changes in regulations could result in 180 Degree Capital incurring significant additional expenses and diversion of time of management
76

to regulation and compliance related tasks, which could have a material adverse effect on 180 Degree Capital’s financial performance. If 180 Degree Capital’s efforts to comply with new or changed laws, regulations and standards differ from the activities intended by regulatory or governing bodies, 180 Degree Capital’s reputation may be harmed.

Market prices of TURN Common Shares will continue to be volatile.

180 Degree Capital expects that the market price of TURN Common Shares will continue to be volatile. The price of TURN Common Shares may be higher or lower than the price that current 180 Degree shareholders paid for their shares, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond 180 Degree Capital’s control and may not be directly related to 180 Degree Capital’s operating performance. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

stock market and capital markets conditions;
internal developments within 180 Degree Capital with respect to its personnel, financial condition and compliance with all applicable regulations;
announcements regarding any of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio companies;
announcements regarding developments in the life sciences, energy or electronics-related fields in general;
announcements regarding government funding and initiatives associated with the development of life sciences, energy or electronics-related products;
a mismatch between the long-term nature of 180 Degree Capital’s business and the short-term focus of many investors;
significant volatility in the market price and trading volume of securities of registered CEFs, RICs or other financial services companies;
changes in regulatory policies or tax guidelines with respect to registered CEFs or RICs;
general economic conditions and trends; and/or
departures of key personnel.

180 Degree Capital will not have control over many of these factors, but it expects that its stock price may be influenced by them. As a result, the price of TURN Common Shares may be volatile, and a 180 Degree Capital shareholder may lose all or part of his or her investment. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against that company. Due to the potential volatility of the price of TURN Common Shares, 180 Degree Capital may therefore be the target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from 180 Degree Capital’s business.

Governmental interventions may impact 180 Degree Capital’s investment strategies.

Extreme volatility and illiquidity in markets has in the past led to, and may in the future lead to, extensive governmental interventions in equity, credit and currency markets. Generally, such interventions are intended to reduce volatility and precipitous drops in value. It is impossible to predict when these restrictions will be imposed, what the interim or permanent restrictions will be and/or the effect of such restrictions on 180 Degree Capital’s strategies.
180 Degree Capital’s compensation structure as an internally managed registered CEF could be materially different than 180 Degree Capital’s compensation structure if 180 Degree Capital was externally managed.

77

As an internally managed registered CEF, 180 Degree Capital’s compensation structure is determined by the 180 Degree Capital Board. This structure currently includes salary and bonus. 180 Degree Capital is not generally permitted to employ an incentive compensation structure that directly ties performance of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio and results of operations to compensation owing to 180 Degree Capital’s status as a CEF under the 1940 Act. 180 Degree Capital is also not permitted to issue incentive compensation in the form of stock or stock options.

This compensation structure contrasts to that of an externally managed CEF, where management fees used to pay salaries and bonuses of the employees of the external adviser are determined based on a percentage of total (gross) assets, and cash-based incentive compensation is determined based on the performance of the CEF's investment portfolio and operating performance.

The differences between the compensation structure of 180 Degree Capital’s internally managed CEF and that of an externally managed CEF could lead to material differences in the compensation of 180 Degree Capital’s management team when compared with such compensation that would have been due if 180 Degree Capital was externally managed. For example, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, salaries and benefits accounted for approximately 4.1 percent of total assets. Owing primarily to a reduction in the number of full-time employees, 180 Degree Capital currently expects salaries and benefits to be lower for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. That said, this percentage could be higher if 180 Degree Capital’s total assets decrease as of the end of 2025 or could be lower if 180 Degree Capital’s total assets increase as of the end of 2025. If 180 Degree Capital was externally managed, the management fees that would be used to pay such expenses would be fixed based on the investment advisory agreement between the CEF and the adviser.

Future sales of TURN Common Shares in the public market, if any, could cause 180 Degree Capital’s stock price to fall.

Sales of a substantial number of TURN Common Shares in offerings, such as follow-on public offerings, registered direct or PIPE transactions, or rights offerings, or the perception that these sales might occur, could depress the market price of TURN Common Shares and could impair 180 Degree Capital’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

180 Degree Capital’s investments are subject to valuation risk, which is the risk that one or more of the assets in which 180 Degree Capital invests are priced incorrectly.

180 Degree Capital is currently focused on investing in what it believes are deeply undervalued microcapitalization publicly traded companies. 180 Degree Capital’s publicly traded and public company-related securities account for approximately 100 percent of the value of its portfolio of investments. Although these companies are publicly traded, their stock may not trade at high volumes and/or 180 Degree Capital may own a significant portion of a company's outstanding stock, which may restrict 180 Degree Capital’s ability to sell its positions in an orderly fashion. Additionally, prices at which sales can be made may be volatile and materially different than the closing prices of such positions at each financial statement date. 180 Degree Capital may also be subject to restrictions on transfer and/or other lock-up provisions after these companies complete public offerings and/or if 180 Degree Capital invests in unregistered securities of public companies. Many of 180 Degree Capital’s legacy privately held and publicly traded companies tend to not have attained profitability, and many of these companies also lack management depth and have limited or no history of operations. Because of the speculative nature of 180 Degree Capital’s investments and the lack of a liquid market for and restrictions on transfers of privately held investments, there is greater risk of loss relative to traditional marketable investment securities.

As of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, approximately 2 percent of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio, excluding money market investments, was fair-valued and comprised of securities of legacy privately held companies, rights to potential future milestone payments, as well as its warrants of Potbelly Corporation and options and restricted common stock of Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., which are securities of publicly traded companies. Because there is typically no public or readily ascertainable market for 180 Degree Capital’s securities
78

of its legacy privately held companies, 180 Degree Capital’s Valuation Committee, which is comprised of all of the independent members of the 180 Degree Capital Board, is responsible for determining the valuation of 180 Degree Capital’s assets within the guidelines established by the 180 Degree Capital Board, pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The values are determined in accordance with 180 Degree Capital’s Valuation Procedures and are subject to significant estimates and judgments. The fair value of the securities in 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio may differ significantly from the values that would be placed on these securities if a ready market for the securities existed. Additionally, inputs may become available after a financial statement date that could result in a material change in value at a future financial statement date from the value reported in the current financial statements. Any changes in valuation are recorded in 180 Degree Capital’s Consolidated Statement of Operations as "Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments" on its most recently filed shareholder report on Form N-CSR. Changes in valuation of any of 180 Degree Capital’s investments in privately held companies from one period to another may be significant.

Changing interest rates may have unpredictable effects on markets, heighten market volatility and detract from 180 Degree Capital’s performance to the extent it is exposed to such interest rates.

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates. 180 Degree Capital may invest in both short- and long-term U.S. government and agency securities. To the extent that 180 Degree Capital invests in short- and long-term U.S. government and agency securities, changes in interest rates result in changes in the value of these obligations that result in an increase or decrease of 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value. The level of interest rate risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment, the expectations of future price and market movements, and the quantity and duration of long-term U.S. government and agency securities held by 180 Degree Capital, and it will vary from period to period.

In addition, market interest rates for high-yield corporate debt may be an input in determining the value of 180 Degree Capital’s investments in debt securities of privately held and publicly traded companies. Significant changes in these market rates could affect the value of 180 Degree Capital’s debt securities as of the valuation date. While 180 Degree Capital does not currently have any investments in debt securities with floating interest rates, investment income in such securities should 180 Degree Capital acquire them in the future could be adversely affected by changes in interest rates.

180 Degree Capital may temporarily depart from its principal investment strategies by investing in high quality fixed-income securities.
During periods of adverse market conditions in the equity securities markets, or otherwise for defensive purposes, 180 Degree Capital may temporarily invest all or a substantial portion of its assets in high quality fixed-income securities, including money market instruments, including U.S. government securities, commercial paper, and certificates of deposit, as well as shares of money market mutual funds, or may temporarily hold cash or cash equivalents in such amounts as 180 Degree Capital deems appropriate under the circumstances. If a U.S. Government agency or instrumentality in which 180 Degree Capital invests defaults and the U.S. Government does not stand behind the obligation, the value of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio could fall.

(Eastern time) in a virtual only format which will be conducted via live audio webcast at https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-915-584-528 (meeting identification number 400-915-584-528), or at such other time or place to which the MLC Special Meeting may be postponed or adjourned, for the purposes set forth in the MLC Notice.
It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally, by advertisement or by telephone by regular employees of Mount Logan without special compensation, at nominal cost. The costs of solicitation will be borne by Mount Logan. Mount Logan will pay the reasonable expenses of persons who are the registered but not beneficial owners of MLC Common Shares for forwarding copies of the MLC Notice, MLC Instrument of Proxy (as hereinafter defined), Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and related material to beneficial owners. Mount Logan will provide, without cost to such persons, upon request to the Corporate Secretary of Mount Logan, additional copies of the foregoing documents required for this purpose.
Accompanying this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is a form of proxy for use at the MLC Special Meeting (the “MLC Instrument of Proxy”). Each MLC Shareholder who is entitled to attend at the MLC Special Meeting is encouraged to participate in the MLC Special Meeting and MLC Shareholders are urged to vote on matters to be considered via live audio webcast or by proxy.
Appointment of a Proxy and Proxy Registration
The persons named as proxyholders in the MLC Instrument of Proxy accompanying this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus are directors or officers of Mount Logan and are representatives of Mount Logan’s management for the MLC Special Meeting. A MLC Shareholder who wishes to appoint some other person (who need not be a MLC Shareholder) as his, her or its representative at the MLC Special Meeting may do so
82

by either: (i) crossing out the names of the management nominees AND legibly printing the other person’s name in the blank space provided in the accompanying MLC Instrument of Proxy; or (ii) completing another valid form of proxy. In either case, the completed form of proxy must be delivered to the Corporate Secretary of Mount Logan, at the place and within the time specified herein for the deposit of proxies.

A MLC Shareholder who appoints a proxy who is someone other than the management representatives named in the MLC Instrument of Proxy should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxy, and provide instructions on how the MLC Common Shares are to be voted. The form of proxy should be dated and executed by the MLC Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy form).

MLC Shareholders who wish to appoint a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the MLC Special Meeting must submit their proxy or voting instruction form (if applicable) prior to registering your proxyholder. Registering your proxyholder is an additional step once you have submitted your proxy or voting instruction form. Failure to register the proxyholder will result in the proxyholder not receiving a Username to participate in the MLC Special Meeting. To register a proxyholder, MLC Shareholders MUST send an email to appointee@odysseytrust.com by no later than 10:00 A.M. (Eastern Time) on August 20, 2025 or if the MLC Special Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before the commencement of such adjourned or postponed MLC Special Meeting and provide Odyssey with their proxyholder’s contact information, amount of MLC Common Shares appointed and name of the broker where the MLC Common Shares are held, so that Odyssey may provide the proxyholder with a Username via email.

If you are a United States beneficial holder, to attend, participate or vote at the virtual MLC Special Meeting, you must first obtain a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent and then register in advance to attend the MLC Special Meeting. United States beneficial holders should follow the instructions from your broker or bank included with these proxy materials, or contact your broker or bank to request a legal proxy form. After first obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the MLC Special Meeting, you must submit a copy of your legal proxy to Odyssey. Requests for registration should be directed to:
Odyssey Trust Company
67 Yonge Street
Suite 702
Toronto, Ontario
M5E 1J8
OR
Email at appointee@odysseytrust.com

A proxy can be submitted to Odyssey either in person, or by mail or courier, to 67 Yonge Street, Suite 702, Toronto, Ontario, M5E 1J8, or via the internet at https://vote.odysseytrust.com. The proxy must be deposited with Odyssey by no later than 10:00 A.M. (Eastern Time) on August 20, 2025, or if the MLC Special Meeting is adjourned or postponed, not less than 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before the commencement of such adjourned or postponed MLC Special Meeting. After such time, the chair of the MLC Special Meeting may accept or reject a form of proxy delivered to him or her in his or her discretion but is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late MLC Instrument of Proxy.
Registered Shareholders
A Registered MLC Shareholder may vote MLC Common Shares owned by it at the MLC Special Meeting in one of two ways – either by themselves by participating in the MLC Special Meeting as set out above or by proxy.
83

Non-Registered MLC Holders

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many MLC Shareholders as a substantial number of MLC Shareholders do not hold MLC Common Shares in their own name and thus are considered non-registered beneficial MLC Shareholders. Only registered holders of MLC Common Shares or the persons they appoint as their proxyholder are permitted to vote at the MLC Special Meeting. However, in many cases, MLC Common Shares beneficially owned by a person (a “Non-Registered MLC Holder”) are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) (including, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers, brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs, TFSAs and similar plans) that the Non-Registered MLC Holder deals with in respect of the MLC Common Shares; or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as the Canadian Depository for Securities Limited) of which the Intermediary is a participant. Non-Registered MLC Holders should note that only proxies deposited by MLC Shareholders whose names appear on the records of Mount Logan as the registered holders of MLC Common Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the MLC Special Meeting. In accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Securities Administrators, Mount Logan will have distributed copies of the MLC Notice, this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the enclosed MLC Instrument of Proxy to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Non-Registered MLC Holders. If you are a Non-Registered MLC Holder, your Intermediary will be the entity legally entitled to vote your MLC Common Shares at the MLC Special Meeting. MLC Common Shares held by an Intermediary can only be voted upon the instructions of the Non-Registered MLC Holder. Without specific instructions, Intermediaries are prohibited from voting MLC Common Shares.
Applicable regulatory policy requires Intermediaries to seek voting instructions from Non-Registered MLC Holders in advance of the MLC Special Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Non-Registered MLC Holder by its Intermediary is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered MLC Shareholders; however, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered MLC Shareholder how to vote on behalf of the Non-Registered MLC Holder. The majority of Intermediaries now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”). Broadridge typically mails a scannable voting instruction form in lieu of the form of proxy. The Non-Registered MLC Holder is requested to complete and return the voting instruction form to Broadridge by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Non-Registered MLC Holder may call a toll-free telephone number or access the internet to provide instructions regarding the voting of MLC Common Shares held by the Non-Registered MLC Holder. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of MLC Common Shares to be represented at the MLC Special Meeting. A Non-Registered MLC Holder receiving a voting instruction form cannot use that voting instruction form to vote MLC Common Shares directly at the MLC Special Meeting, as the voting instruction form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the MLC Special Meeting in order to have such MLC Common Shares voted.
Non-Registered MLC Holders should ensure that instructions respecting the voting of their MLC Common Shares are communicated in a timely manner and in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary or Broadridge, as applicable. Every Intermediary has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions to clients, which should be carefully followed by Non-Registered MLC Holders in order to ensure that their MLC Common Shares are voted at the MLC Special Meeting.
    Although a Non-Registered MLC Holder may not be recognized directly at the MLC Special Meeting for the purpose of voting MLC Common Shares registered in the name of their Intermediary, a Non-Registered MLC Holder may attend the MLC Special Meeting as proxyholder for the Intermediary and vote the MLC Common Shares in that capacity. Non-Registered MLC Holders who wish to attend the MLC Special Meeting and indirectly vote their MLC Common Shares as a proxyholder should enter their own names in the blank space on the form of proxy or voting instruction form provided to them by their Intermediary and/or Broadridge, as applicable, and return the same in accordance with the instructions provided by their Intermediary and/or Broadridge, as applicable, well in advance of the MLC Special Meeting. In order to vote, Non-Registered MLC Holders who appoint themselves as a proxyholder MUST register with Odyssey by sending an email to appointee@odysseytrust.com after submitting their voting instruction form in order to receive a Username (please see the information under the heading “Appointment of a Proxy and Proxy Registration” above for details).
84


    The purpose of the above-noted procedures is to permit Non-Registered MLC Holders to direct the voting of the MLC Common Shares which they beneficially own. Non-Registered MLC Holders should carefully follow the instructions and procedures of their Intermediary or Broadridge, as applicable, including those regarding when and where the form of proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.

    Pursuant to National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”), Mount Logan is distributing copies of proxy-related materials in connection with the MLC Special Meeting indirectly to non-objecting beneficial owners of MLC Common Shares. Mount Logan is not relying on the notice-and-access delivery procedures set out in NI 54-101 to distribute copies of proxy-related materials in connection with the MLC Special Meeting. Mount Logan will pay for Intermediaries to deliver copies of the proxy-related materials to objecting beneficial owners.

Revoking a Proxy
A MLC Shareholder who has validly given a proxy may revoke it for any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast by the proxyholder appointed in the proxy. If a MLC Shareholder who has submitted a proxy attends the MLC Special Meeting via the webcast and has accepted the terms and conditions when entering the MLC Special Meeting online, any votes cast by such MLC Shareholder on a ballot will be counted and the submitted proxy will be disregarded. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked with an instrument in writing signed and delivered to either the registered office of Mount Logan at Suite 800, 365 Bay Street, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2V1, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the MLC Special Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or deposited with the chair of the MLC Special Meeting on the day of the MLC Special Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. The document used to revoke a proxy must be in writing and completed and signed by the MLC Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the MLC Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized. As well, a MLC Shareholder who has given a proxy may attend the MLC Special Meeting virtually (or where the MLC Shareholder is a corporation, its authorized representative may attend), revoke the proxy (by indicating such intention to the chair of the MLC Special Meeting before the proxy is exercised) and vote at the MLC Special Meeting (or withhold from voting). If a MLC Shareholder has voted on the internet or by telephone and wishes to change such vote, such MLC Shareholder may vote again through such means before 10:00 A.M. a.m. (Eastern Time) on August 20, 2025, or at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays, before any adjournment or postponement of the MLC Special Meeting.
Signature on Proxies
The MLC Instrument of Proxy must be executed by the MLC Shareholder or his or her duly appointed attorney authorized in writing or, if the MLC Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer whose title must be indicated. An MLC Instrument of Proxy signed by a person acting as attorney or in some other representative capacity should indicate that person’s capacity (following his or her signature) and should be accompanied by the appropriate instrument evidencing qualification and authority to act (unless such instrument has been previously filed with Mount Logan).
Voting of Proxies
Each MLC Shareholder may instruct his, her or its proxyholder on how to vote his, her or its MLC Common Shares by completing the blanks on the MLC Instrument of Proxy. MLC Common Shares represented by the enclosed MLC Instrument of Proxy will be voted or withheld from voting on any motion, by ballot or otherwise, in accordance with any indicated instructions. In the absence of such direction, such MLC Common Shares will be voted IN FAVOR OF PASSING THE RESOLUTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE INSTRUMENT OF PROXY AND BELOW. If any amendment or variation to the matters identified in the MLC Notice is proposed at the MLC Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, or if any other matters properly come before the MLC Special Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the accompanying MLC Instrument of Proxy confers discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other
85

matters according to the best judgment of the appointed proxyholder. As at the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the management of Mount Logan knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the MLC Special Meeting.
Unless otherwise stated, MLC Common Shares represented by a valid MLC Instrument of Proxy will be voted: (i) in favor of the Arrangement Resolution; (ii) in favor of the MLC Merger Resolution; and (iii) in favor of the Incentive Plan Resolution.
All references to MLC Shareholders in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the accompanying MLC Instrument of Proxy and MLC Notice are to Registered MLC Shareholders unless specifically stated otherwise.
A Registered MLC Shareholder, or a Non-Registered MLC Holder who has appointed themselves or a third-party proxyholder to represent them at the MLC Special Meeting, will appear on a list of shareholders prepared by Odyssey, the transfer agent and registrar for the MLC Special Meeting. To have their MLC Common Shares voted at the Meeting, each Registered MLC Shareholder or proxyholder will be required to enter their control number or Username provided by Odyssey at https://meetings.lumiconnect.com/400-915-584-528 and enter the Meeting ID number 400-915-584-528 prior to the start of the MLC Special Meeting. In order to vote, Non-Registered MLC Holders who appoint themselves as a proxyholder MUST register with Odyssey by sending an email to appointee@odysseytrust.com after submitting their voting instruction form in order to receive a Username (please see the information under the heading “Appointment of a Proxy and Proxy Registration” above for details).
Voting Shares and MLC Record Date
MLC Shareholders of record as of July 8, 2025 (the “MLC Record Date”) are entitled to receive the MLC Notice and to attend and vote at the MLC Special Meeting. The failure of any MLC Shareholder to receive a copy of the MLC Notice does not deprive the MLC Shareholder of the right to vote at the MLC Special Meeting. Only holders of MLC Common Shares as of the MLC Record Date are entitled to vote such MLC Common Shares at the MLC Special Meeting.
As at the MLC Record Date, Mount Logan had an aggregate of 29,182,452 issued and outstanding MLC Common Shares, each of which carries the right to two votes in respect of each of the matters properly coming before the MLC Special Meeting. As at the MLC Record Date, an aggregate of 28,150,623 MLC Common Shares were held by Minority MLC Shareholders.
The MLC Common Shares are the voting shares of Mount Logan which are issued and outstanding as of the MLC Record Date.
Principal Holders of Voting Securities
To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of Mount Logan, as at the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, no person or corporation beneficially owns, or exercises control or direction over, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the issued and outstanding MLC Common Shares.
MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MLC SPECIAL MEETING
Matters to Be Acted Upon at The MLC Special Meeting
To the knowledge of the Mount Logan Board, the only matters to be brought before the MLC Special Meeting are set forth in the accompanying MLC Notice. These matters are described in turn under the headings below.
86

Approval of the MLC Merger

At the MLC Special Meeting, MLC Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve, with or without variation, the MLC Merger Resolution, the full text of which is set out in Annex K (the “MLC Merger Resolution”).

Background to the Mergers

The Mergers, and the Business Combination as a whole, are the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted between Mount Logan and its legal counsel, and 180 Degree Capital and its legal counsel and financial advisor. For a summary of the material events leading up to the negotiation of the Merger Agreement and the material meetings, negotiations and discussions between the Parties that preceded the execution, and announcement, of the Merger Agreement, please see the section titled “The Mergers – Background of the Mergers.

Effects of the Mergers

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (a) in the TURN Merger, TURN Merger Sub will merge with and into 180 Degree Capital, the separate corporate existence of TURN Merger Sub will cease, and 180 Degree Capital will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a corporation under the Laws of the State of New York, and (b) in the MLC Merger MLC Merger Sub will merge with and into Mount Logan, the separate existence of MLC Merger Sub will cease, and Mount Logan will be the surviving company and will continue its existence as a limited liability company under the Laws of the State of Delaware. At the Closing, shareholders of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital will receive shares of common stock of New Mount Logan registered under the Securities Act, and New Mount Logan is expected to be listed on Nasdaq as a reporting company under the Exchange Act.

Following the completion of the Mergers, New Mount Logan, the parent company of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, is expected to be a newly-listed public company on Nasdaq trading under the symbol “MLCI.” See the section titled “The Merger Agreement.

MLC Shareholders

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, MLC Shareholders (other than any holders of Excluded Shares or any Dissenting MLC Shareholders) will ultimately receive the MLC Merger Consideration in consideration for each MLC Common Share. See “The Merger Agreement – Exchange of Shares in the Mergers” and “The Merger Agreement - Merger Consideration.

If the Business Combination is completed, New Mount Logan will use the “push out” method for the delivery of the applicable number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to be issued to the MLC Shareholders. Accordingly, MLC Shareholders of record on the close of business the day prior to Effective Time will be provided with Direct Registration System advices representing their respective shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock distributed in connection with the Business Combination shortly after the completion of the Business Combination. The share certificates representing MLC Common Shares should be retained by the holders thereof and not be forwarded to Mount Logan or New Mount Logan or their respective transfer agents. No certificates or Direct Registration System advices for fractional shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock and shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock will be rounded down and no MLC Shareholder will be entitled to any compensation in respect of fractional shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock.

MLC Warrant Holders

In accordance with the Merger Agreement, all MLC Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will remain outstanding and, following the Effective Time, shall entitle the holder thereof to receive, upon the subsequent exercise of such holder’s MLC Warrant, in accordance with its terms, in lieu of each MLC Common Share to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon such exercise but for the same aggregate
87

consideration payable therefor, the MLC Merger Consideration. Each MLC Warrant shall continue to be governed by and be subject to the terms of the applicable warrant agreement evidencing such MLC Warrant with respect to all other terms and conditions.

    MLC RSU/DEU Holders

In accordance with the Merger Agreement and following the MLC Domestication but prior to the MLC Merger, all outstanding MLC Delaware RSUs and MLC Delaware DEUs issued pursuant to Mount Logan’s Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan (the “MLC PR Plan”) will become fully vested with the holders ultimately receiving shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock for their MLC Delaware Units issued upon vesting of the MLC Delaware RSUs and MLC Delaware DEUs.

MLC Shareholder Approval

To be effective, the MLC Merger Resolution must be approved at the MLC Special Meeting by: (i) 50% of the outstanding shares entitled to vote at the MLC Special Meeting; and (ii) at least a majority of the votes cast on the MLC Merger Resolution by the Minority MLC Shareholders present or represented by proxy at the MLC Special Meeting and entitled to vote.

MLC Shareholders should be aware that under Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA that will be effective immediately after the MLC Domestication until the Effective Time of the MLC Merger, no approval of the members of MLC Delaware will be required to approve the merger of MLC Delaware. Pursuant to the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA and the Plan of Domestication, effective concurrently with the MLC Domestication, the existing directors of Mount Logan will become the Initial Managers of MLC Delaware. Immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA, all the Initial Managers, except for Mr. Goldthorpe, will cease being managers of MLC Delaware and, in accordance with Section 209(b) of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, Mr. Goldthorpe will be empowered to provide all required approvals and authorizations necessary to effectuate the MLC Merger. Assuming all conditions in the Merger Agreement required for consummation of the MLC Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived (including approval of the MLC Merger Resolution by the MLC Shareholders), Mr. Goldthorpe, as Manager of MLC Delaware, will cause MLC Delaware to effectuate the MLC Merger following the MLC Domestication (and, for greater clarity, after the conversion of MLC Delaware from a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL to a limited liability company existing under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing features of the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA, Mount Logan will ask MLC Shareholders to approve at the MLC Special Meeting the MLC Merger as part of the Business Combination.

Regulatory Approvals

The MLC Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on Cboe Canada and the TURN Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on the Nasdaq. It is a condition of the Business Combination that the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable to MLC Shareholders be approved for listing on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, at or prior to the Effective Time. It is also a condition to the completion of the Business Combination that Cboe Canada approve the Business Combination contemplated thereby. See “Canadian Securities Laws – Reporting Status and Listing.

Recommendation of the Mount Logan Board

The Mount Logan Board has concluded that the MLC Merger and the Business Combination is advisable and in the best interests of Mount Logan and the MLC Shareholders and, as such, has authorized submission of the MLC Merger Resolution to the MLC Shareholders.

The Mount Logan Board unanimously recommends that MLC Shareholders vote FOR the MLC Merger Resolution. See the section entitled “The Mergers – Mount Logan’s Reasons for the Mergers and
88

Recommendation of the Mount Logan Board” for a summary of the factors considered by the Mount Logan Board in evaluating and approving the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination as a whole and in making its conclusions and recommendation.

In the absence of contrary instructions, the persons named in the accompanying MLC Instrument of Proxy intend to vote FOR the MLC Merger Resolution.
Approval of the MLC Domestication

    At the MLC Special Meeting, MLC Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve, with or without variation, a resolution (the “Arrangement Resolution”), the full text of which is attached as Annex M to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, to approve a plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”) pursuant to section 182 of the OBCA involving, among other things, the continuance of Mount Logan from Ontario to the State of Delaware.

    Pursuant to the Plan of Arrangement and the Plan of Domestication, Mount Logan is seeking to continue out from the jurisdiction of the OBCA and domesticate as a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL, followed by the immediate conversion of such corporation to a limited liability company existing under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act for the purposes of facilitating the MLC Merger and the Business Combination. Assuming all conditions precedent to the completion of the Business Combination have been satisfied or waived, other than the completion of the MLC Continuance and the Mergers, it is expected that the MLC Domestication will occur, followed immediately by the completion of the Mergers in which event the Business Combination will be completed. Notwithstanding that all conditions to the completion of the MLC Domestication have been satisfied, including approval of the Arrangement Resolution by MLC Shareholders, Mount Logan does not intend to complete the MLC Domestication unless the Mergers will be completed immediately thereafter resulting in the completion of the Business Combination.

If made, the Final Order will constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to any deemed issuance or exchange of the securities that may be considered to have occurred in connection with the MLC Domestication.

The Plan of Arrangement is attached as Exhibit A to Annex M to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Readers are encouraged to carefully review the Plan of Arrangement, as it contains the specific terms and conditions governing the Arrangement.

Reasons for the MLC Domestication

It is a condition precedent to the completion of the Mergers and the Business Combination that Mount Logan will have been continued from a corporation existing under and governed by the OBCA to a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL. The MLC Continuance will be followed by the immediate conversion of such corporation to a limited liability company existing under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act. In connection with the MLC Domestication, among other things, (i) the name of Mount Logan upon and following the MLC Domestication will be “Mount Logan Capital Intermediate LLC”; (ii) each issued and outstanding MLC Common Share (other than MLC Common Shares held by Dissenting MLC Shareholders) will be converted initially to one one-hundred-thousandth of a share of MLC Delaware Stock and then to one Outstanding MLC Delaware Unit; (iii) each outstanding common share purchase warrant of Mount Logan entitling the holder thereof to acquire, upon due exercise, MLC Common Shares upon payment of the applicable exercise price (a “MLC Warrant”) will be deemed to be a warrant of MLC Delaware (a “MLC Delaware Warrant”), exercisable to receive an equal number of MLC Delaware Units in accordance with the terms thereof; (iv) each outstanding restricted share unit of Mount Logan entitling the holder thereof to receive, in accordance with the terms thereof, a MLC Common Share (a “MLC RSU”) will be deemed to be a restricted share unit of MLC Delaware (a “MLC Delaware RSU”) entitling the holder thereof to receive, in accordance with the terms thereof, a MLC Delaware Unit; (v) each outstanding dividend equivalent unit of Mount Logan entitling the holder thereof to receive, in accordance with the terms thereof, a MLC
89

Common Share (a “MLC DEU”) will be deemed to be a dividend equivalent unit of MLC Delaware (a “MLC Delaware DEU”) entitling the holder thereof to receive, in accordance with the terms thereof, a MLC Delaware Unit (vi) the property of Mount Logan will continue to be the property of MLC Delaware; (vii) MLC Delaware will continue to be liable for the obligations of Mount Logan; (viii) any existing cause of action, claim, or liability to prosecution of Mount Logan will be unaffected; (ix) any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding pending by or against Mount Logan may be continued to be prosecuted by or against MLC Delaware; and (x) a conviction against Mount Logan may be enforced against MLC Delaware or a ruling, order or judgment in favor of or against Mount Logan may be enforced by or against MLC Delaware.

The Arrangement Resolution authorizes the directors of Mount Logan, at their discretion, without notice to or approval of the MLC Shareholders, to, among other things and subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, not proceed with the Arrangement and related transactions. The full text of the Arrangement Resolution is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Annex M. At the MLC Special Meeting, MLC Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve, with or without variation, the Arrangement Resolution.

MLC Shareholder Approval

To be effective, the Arrangement Resolution must be approved at the MLC Special Meeting by at least 662/3% of the votes cast on the Arrangement Resolution by MLC Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the MLC Special Meeting.

If the Arrangement Resolution is not approved at the MLC Special Meeting, then neither the MLC Domestication nor the Mergers will proceed and the Business Combination will not be completed. MLC Shareholders who are in favor of the Business Combination should vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution. MLC Shareholders have dissent rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution as further discussed below.

Regulatory Approvals

The OBCA requires that Mount Logan obtain the consent of the Ontario Securities Commission, the consent of the Minister of Finance (Ontario), and the authorization of the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery in order for the MLC Continuance to proceed (collectively, the “MLC Continuance Regulatory Approvals”). Following the approval of the Arrangement Resolution at the MLC Special Meeting, Mount Logan will proceed with obtaining each of the MLC Continuance Regulatory Approvals.

Additionally, completion of the Business Combination is subject to the consent of Cboe Canada. For additional information, please see the section titled “Approval of the MLC Merger – Regulatory Approvals.

Court Approval

The OBCA requires that the Court approve the Arrangement.

On July 10, 2025, Mount Logan obtained the Interim Order providing for the calling and holding of the MLC Special Meeting and other procedural matters and filed a Notice of Application for the Final Order to approve the Arrangement. Copies of the Interim Order and the Notice of Application are attached as Annex H and Annex J, respectively, to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, if the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger Resolution are approved at the MLC Special Meeting, and the approval of the Business Combination Proposal and the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal are approved at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, Mount Logan will make application to the Court for the Final Order on August 27, 2025, or as soon thereafter as counsel may be heard. At the hearing, the Court will consider, among other things, the fairness of the terms and conditions of the Arrangement and the rights and interests of every person affected. The Court may approve the Arrangement in any manner the Court may direct, subject to compliance with such terms and conditions, if any, as the Court deems fit.

The Notice of Application constitutes notice of the Court hearing of the application for the Final Order and is the only such notice of that proceeding.

The Section 3(a)(10) Exemption provides an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act for securities issued in exchange for one or more outstanding securities where the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange of such securities have been approved by a court authorized to grant such approval after a hearing upon the fairness of the terms and conditions of the issuance and exchange at which all persons to whom the securities will be issued have the right to appear and have received timely and adequate notice thereof. If made, the Final Order will constitute the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to any deemed issuance or exchange of the securities that may be considered to have occurred in connection with the Arrangement. Prior to the hearing on the Final Order, the Court has been or will be informed of this effect of the Final Order.

For additional information in respect of the Mergers and the Business Combination, see the section titled “Approval of the MLC Merger” below.

Comparison of the OBCA and the DGCL

As discussed above, the MLC Domestication will not be completed unless the Mergers and the Business Combination can be completed immediately thereafter. Accordingly, MLC Shareholders who receive MLC Delaware Stock and MLC Delaware Units pursuant to the MLC Domestication are not expected to be holders of MLC Delaware Stock or MLC Delaware Units for a meaningful amount of time. Rather, the MLC Delaware Units, once deemed to be issued in respect of the MLC Delaware Stock, are expected to be immediately converted into the right to receive shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable by New Mount Logan, a corporation existing under the DGCL, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. MLC Delaware and the MLC Delaware Stock will be governed initially by the DGCL and the terms of the form of MLC Delaware’s certificate of incorporation (the “MLC Delaware Charter”) and bylaws (the “MLC Delaware Bylaws”), then following MLC Delaware’s conversion from a corporation into a limited liability company, MLC Delaware and the MLC Delaware Units will be governed by the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the form of MLC Delaware’s limited liability company agreement (the “MLC Delaware LLCA”), which will become effective concurrently with the MLC Domestication. Holders of MLC Common Shares will not be entitled to appraisal rights following the continuance of Mount Logan pursuant to the OBCA from a corporation existing under and governed by the OBCA to a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL, the Delaware LLC Act or the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA. The forms of the MLC Delaware Charter, MLC Delaware Bylaws and the MLC Delaware LLCA are attached as exhibits hereto and included in Exhibit B to Annex M, and MLC Shareholders are encouraged to read the entire documents for further information about their terms and conditions.

Dissent Rights for MLC Shareholders in respect of the Arrangement

If you are a Registered MLC Shareholder, you are entitled to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution, in the manner provided in Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, provided that, notwithstanding Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA, the written objection to the Arrangement Resolution referred to in Subsection 185(6) of the OBCA must be received by Mount Logan not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two Business Days immediately preceding the date of the MLC Special Meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed from time to time).

In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court), Non-Registered MLC Holders and holders of securities convertible for MLC Common Shares (including MLC Warrants and MLC RSUs) are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights.

The following brief summary of the rights of Registered MLC Shareholders to dissent from the Arrangement Resolution is not a comprehensive statement of the procedures to be followed by a Dissenting MLC Shareholder who seeks payment of the fair value of their MLC Common Shares. This summary is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA, the full text of which is set forth in Annex I to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, the Interim Order and the Plan of Arrangement. The Court hearing the application for the Final Order has the discretion to alter the Dissent Rights described herein.

A Registered MLC’s Shareholder’s failure to follow exactly the procedures set forth in Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court, will result in the loss of such Registered MLC Shareholder’s Dissent Rights. Any MLC Shareholder that wishes to dissent in respect of the Arrangement Resolution should obtain their own legal advice and carefully read the Plan of Arrangement (see Exhibit C of Annex A), the provisions of Section 185 of the OBCA (see Annex I) and the Interim Order (see Annex H). In addition to any other restrictions under Section 185 of the OBCA (as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court), holders of securities exercisable for, or convertible into, MLC Common Shares, such as the MLC Warrants and the MLC RSUs, are not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights, nor are MLC Shareholders who vote or have instructed (without revocation) a proxyholder to vote such MLC Common Shares in favor of the Arrangement Resolution (but only in respect of such MLC Common Shares).

Dissenting MLC Shareholders who duly exercise their Dissent Rights shall be deemed to have transferred the MLC Common Shares held by them and in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised to Mount Logan free and clear of all Liens as provided in Section 2.2(a) of the Plan of Arrangement, and if they:

1.ultimately are entitled to be paid fair value for such MLC Common Shares, then such Dissenting MLC Shareholders shall be paid the fair value of such MLC Common Shares by Mount Logan, which shall be the fair value of such MLC Common Shares as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution is adopted by MLC Shareholders, and such Dissenting MLC Shareholders shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable pursuant to the Mergers had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such MLC Common Shares; or

2.ultimately are not entitled, for any reason, to be paid fair value for such MLC Common Shares, then such Dissenting MLC Shareholders shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of MLC Common Shares.

In no circumstances shall Mount Logan or any other person be required to recognize a person exercising Dissent Rights unless such person is the registered holder of those MLC Common Shares in respect of which such Dissent Rights are sought to be exercised. For greater certainty, Mount Logan and any other person shall not be required to recognize Dissenting MLC Shareholders as MLC Shareholders in respect of which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised after the completion of the MLC Continuance in accordance with the Plan of Arrangement, and the names of such Dissenting MLC Shareholders shall be removed from the securities register of Mount Logan,
92

as applicable, in respect of the MLC Common Shares for which Dissent Rights have been validly exercised at the same time as the completion of such transfer at the MLC Continuance Effective Time. There can be no assurance that a Dissenting MLC Shareholder will receive consideration for its MLC Common Shares of equal or greater value than the then current market price of the MLC Common Shares or of equal or greater value than the consideration that such Dissenting MLC Shareholder would have received under the Mergers.

The exercise of Dissent Rights does not deprive a Registered MLC Shareholder of the right to vote at the MLC Special Meeting. However, a MLC Shareholder is not entitled to exercise Dissent Rights in respect of the Arrangement Resolution if such holder votes any of the MLC Common Shares beneficially held by such holder in favor of the Arrangement Resolution.

A Dissenting MLC Shareholder is required to send a written objection to the Arrangement Resolution to Mount Logan prior to the MLC Special Meeting. The execution or exercise of a proxy against the Arrangement Resolution or not voting on the Arrangement Resolution does not constitute a written objection for purposes of the right to dissent under Section 185 of the OBCA.

Mount Logan shall, within ten (10) days after the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the MLC Shareholders, send to each applicable Dissenting MLC Shareholder a notice that the Arrangement Resolution has been adopted, stating that Mount Logan intends to act, or has acted, on the authority of the Arrangement Resolution and advise the Dissenting MLC Shareholder of the manner in which dissent is to be completed under Section 185 of the OBCA.

If the Arrangement Resolution is approved by the MLC Shareholders as required at the MLC Special Meeting, and if Mount Logan notifies the Dissenting MLC Shareholders of its intention to act upon the Arrangement Resolution, pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA, the Dissenting MLC Shareholder is then required, within twenty (20) days after receipt of such notice, to send to Mount Logan a signed written notice setting out the Dissenting MLC Shareholder’s name and address, the number and class of MLC Common Shares in respect of which the Dissenting MLC Shareholder dissents and that the Dissent Right is being exercised in respect of all of the Dissenting MLC Shareholder’s MLC Common Shares. The written notice shall also include demand for payment of the fair value of such MLC Common Shares. Within thirty (30) days after sending such written notice, the Dissenting MLC Shareholder must send to Mount Logan or the MLC Transfer Agent the share certificate or certificates, if any, representing the MLC Common Shares in respect of which the Dissenting MLC Shareholder has exercised Dissent Rights.

A Dissenting MLC Shareholder who does not send to Mount Logan or the MLC Transfer Agent, as applicable, within the required period of time, the required notices or the certificates representing the MLC Common Shares in respect of which the Dissenting MLC Shareholder has dissented may forfeit its Dissent Rights. Upon delivery of these documents, the Dissenting MLC Shareholder ceases to have any rights as a shareholder other than the right to be paid the fair value of the shares, except where the Dissenting MLC Shareholder withdraws the notice referred to above before Mount Logan makes an offer, Mount Logan fails to make an offer and the Dissenting MLC Shareholder withdraws notice, or the directors revoke the Arrangement Resolution, in which case the Dissenting MLC Shareholder’s rights are reinstated as of the date the Dissenting MLC Shareholder sent the notice referred to above.

If the matters provided for in the Arrangement Resolution become effective, then Mount Logan will be required to send, not later than the seventh (7th) day after the later of the MLC Continuance Effective Date and the day the demand for payment is received, to each Dissenting MLC Shareholder whose demand for payment has been received, a written offer to pay for the MLC Common Shares of such Dissenting MLC Shareholder for such amount as the Mount Logan Board considers to be fair value accompanied by a statement showing how the fair value was determined, unless there are reasonable grounds for believing that Mount Logan is, or after the payment would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due or the realizable value of Mount Logan’s assets, as applicable, would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities. Mount Logan must pay for the MLC Common Shares of a Dissenting MLC Shareholder within ten (10) days after an offer made as described above has been accepted by a Dissenting MLC Shareholder, but any such offer lapses if Mount Logan does not receive an acceptance thereof
93

within thirty (30) days after such offer has been made. Every offer made by Mount Logan for MLC Common Shares shall be on the same terms. If such offer is not made or accepted within fifty (50) days after the MLC Continuance Effective Date, Mount Logan may apply to the Court to fix the fair value of such MLC Common Shares. There is no obligation of Mount Logan to apply to the Court. If Mount Logan fails to make such an application, a Dissenting MLC Shareholder has the right to so apply within a further 20 days.

Addresses for Notice

All notices to Mount Logan of dissent to the Arrangement Resolution pursuant to Section 185 of the OBCA should be addressed to the attention of the individual set out below and be received not later than 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) two business days immediately preceding the date of the MLC Special Meeting, or any date to which the MLC Special Meeting may be postponed or adjourned to:

Mount Logan Capital Inc.
Suite 800, Wildeboer Dellelce Place
365 Bay Street
Toronto, Ontario M5H 2V1

Attention: Corporate Secretary
Facsimile: 416-361-1790

Dissent Right Condition

Under the Merger Agreement, it is a condition of the Arrangement that MLC Shareholders holding not more than 10% of the outstanding MLC Common Shares shall have validly exercised Dissent Rights (and not withdrawn or waived such exercise).

Recommendation of the Mount Logan Board

The Mount Logan Board has concluded that the Arrangement, as well as the MLC Merger and the Business Combination, are advisable and in the best interests of Mount Logan and the MLC Shareholders and, as such, has authorized submission of the Arrangement Resolution to the MLC Shareholders for approval and the Arrangement to the Court for the Final Order.

In coming to its conclusion and recommendations in respect of the Arrangement, the Mount Logan Board considered, among others, the following factors:

1.The MLC Continuance is a condition to the completion of the MLC Merger and the Business Combination and must occur in order for the MLC Merger to occur and for the Business Combination to be completed.

2.A continuance of Mount Logan out from the jurisdiction of the OBCA to the State of Delaware is permitted to occur pursuant to section 181 of the OBCA (the “OBCA Statutory Continuance Provisions”) without the use of the “arrangement” provisions set out in section 182 of the OBCA, however, the MLC Continuance is proposed to occur by way of the Arrangement solely for the purpose of the Final Order constituting the basis for the Section 3(a)(10) Exemption with respect to any deemed issuance or exchange of the securities that may be considered to have occurred in connection with the MLC Domestication. If the 3(a)(10) Exemption were not available, Mount Logan would be required to file a registration statement with the SEC in order to register the MLC Delaware Stock and MLC Delaware Units, notwithstanding that immediately following the completion of the MLC Domestication the MLC Delaware Units will be converted into the right to receive shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock. The preparation and filing of such a registration statement would result in Mount Logan incurring costs and expenses that would be in excess of the costs and expenses incurred by proceeding with the MLC Continuance by way of the Arrangement, and would result in additional time to complete the Business Combination.

94

3.The Arrangement provides MLC Shareholders with substantially similar rights in respect of the Arrangement compared to the OBCA Statutory Continuance Provisions, including that the Arrangement Resolution must be approved by special resolution and that MLC Shareholders are entitled to rights of dissent.

4.MLC Shareholders that oppose the Arrangement, and accordingly, the MLC Merger and the Business Combination, may, subject to compliance with certain conditions, dissent with respect to the Arrangement Resolution and be entitled to be paid the fair value for their MLC Common Shares in accordance with Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Interim Order, the Plan of Arrangement and any other order of the Court.

The Mount Logan Board unanimously recommends that MLC Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution. The determination of the Mount Logan Board is based on the factors set out above as well as those reasons set out in the section titled “The Mergers - Mount Logan’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Mount Logan Board.

In the absence of contrary instructions, the persons named in the accompanying MLC Instrument of Proxy intend to vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution.
Approval of the Incentive Plan

At the MLC Special Meeting, MLC Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed advisable, approve, with or without variation the Incentive Plan Resolution, the full text of which is set out in Annex K (the “Incentive Plan Resolution”). The Incentive Plan Resolution asks the MLC Shareholders to approve and adopt the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). See the sections entitled “Description of 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan” and “180 Degree Capital Proposal No. 3 – The New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal – Terms of the 2025 Plan” for a summary of the 2025 Plan.

An aggregate number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that shall not exceed 2,600,000 will be reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan. It is expected that the board of directors of New Mount Logan will approve and ratify the 2025 Plan post-Closing before any grants or issuances are made thereunder. If approved by the shareholders, the effective date of the 2025 Plan will be the Closing Date. The 2025 Plan is described in more detail below. If approved by the shareholders, the 2025 Plan will be administered by the New Mount Logan Board or by the compensation committee of the New Mount Logan Board, which will have the authority to make awards under the 2025 Plan.

After careful consideration, the MLC Board believes that approving the 2025 Plan is in the best interests of MLC and its shareholders. The general purpose of the 2025 Plan is to enhance the profitability and value of New Mount Logan for the benefit of its shareholders by enabling New Mount Logan to offer cash and stock-based incentives in order to attract, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants. If approved, the 2025 Plan will enable New Mount Logan to provide cash and stock-based incentives that strengthen the mutuality of interests between employees, directors and consultants who participate in the 2025 Plan and the shareholders of New Mount Logan.

Securities Registration

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, when permitted by SEC rules, New Mount Logan intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable under the 2025 Plan.

Required Vote

To be effective, the Incentive Plan Resolution must be approved at the MLC Special Meeting by the affirmative vote of a majority of the MLC Common Shares cast at the MLC Special Meeting and entitled to vote.
95

The Mount Logan Board unanimously recommends that MLC Shareholders vote FOR the Incentive Plan Resolution. See the sections entitled “Description of 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan” and “180 Degree Capital Proposal No. 3 – The New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal – Terms of the 2025 Plan” for a summary of the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan.

Purposes of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting

The 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting is being held to consider and vote on the following Proposals:

Proposal 1 – the Business Combination Proposal: a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the TURN Merger;

Proposal 2 – the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal: a proposal to approve the deregistration of 180 Degree Capital as a closed-end investment company registered under the 1940 Act;

Recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board

The 180 Degree Capital Board unanimously recommends that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote:

Proposal 1 – “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal;

Proposal 2 – “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal

Proposal 3 – “FOR” the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal; and

Proposal 4 - “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The 180 Degree Capital Board, on the recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, comprised solely of the 180 Degree Capital Independent Directors, has unanimously determined that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination, the issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in connection with the Mergers, and the adoption of the 2025 Plan by New Mount Logan, are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders; has unanimously approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Business Combination and the issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in connection with the Mergers. It is expected that the board of
98

directors of New Mount Logan will approve and ratify the 2025 Plan post-Closing before any grants or issuances are made thereunder. The 180 Degree Capital Board unanimously recommends that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal, “FOR” the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

This Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus contains important information regarding these Proposals and factors that 180 Degree Capital shareholders should consider when deciding how to cast their votes. 180 Degree Capital shareholders are encouraged to read the entire document carefully, including the Annexes to and documents incorporated by reference into this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, for more detailed information regarding the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated thereunder.

Record Date

The record date for the determination of 180 Degree Capital shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting is July 8, 2025. Only 180 Degree Capital shareholders who held TURN Common Shares of record at the close of business on July 8, 2025 are entitled to vote at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and any adjournment or postponement of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting. As of the 180 Degree Capital Record Date, there were 10,000,141 TURN Common Shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote. Each TURN Common Share held by a holder of record as of the 180 Degree Capital Record Date has one vote on each matter to be considered at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting.

Quorum

In order for business to be conducted at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, a quorum must be present. The presence at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, virtually or represented by proxy, of 180 Degree Capital shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting will constitute a quorum of 180 Degree Capital. Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes.

If a quorum is not present or if there are not sufficient votes for the approval of the Proposals, the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting may be adjourned or postponed to permit the further solicitation of proxies.

A 180 Degree Capital shareholder vote may be taken on any of the Proposals in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus prior to any such adjournment if there are sufficient votes for approval of such Proposal.

Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions

Shares held by a broker or other nominee for which the nominee has not received voting instructions from the record holder and does not have discretionary authority to vote the shares on non-routine Proposals are considered “broker non-votes.” The Proposals are non-routine matters for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. As a result, if a 180 Degree Capital shareholder holds shares in “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee, such broker, bank or nominee will not be permitted to exercise voting discretion with respect to the Proposals. Abstentions will not count as affirmative votes cast and will therefore have the same effect as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal and the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal.

Vote Required

The votes required for each proposal are as follows:

Proposal 1—the Business Combination Proposal. The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding TURN Common Shares entitled to vote at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected.
99

Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.

Proposal 2—the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal. The approval of the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the affirmative vote of the holders of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the TURN Common Shares present or represented by proxy at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and entitled to vote, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding TURN Common Shares are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding TURN Common Shares entitled to vote at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal. The TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.

Proposal 3—the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal. The approval of the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority the TURN Common Shares cast at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and entitled to vote. The New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.

Proposal 4—the Adjournment Proposal. The approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the TURN Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and entitled to vote. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.

Voting of Management

On the 180 Degree Capital Record Date, 180 Degree Capital’s officers and directors owned and were entitled to vote 1,280,082 TURN Common Shares, representing approximately 12.8% of the outstanding TURN Common Shares on the 180 Degree Capital Record Date. 180 Degree Capital’s officers and directors signed voting agreements relating to the Business Combination Proposal.

Voting of Proxies

180 Degree Capital encourages 180 Degree Capital shareholders to vote their shares, either by voting virtually at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting or by voting by proxy, which means that 180 Degree Capital shareholders authorize someone else to vote their shares. Shares represented by duly executed proxies will be voted in accordance with the 180 Degree Capital shareholder’s instructions. If 180 Degree Capital shareholders execute a proxy without specifying their voting instructions, such 180 Degree Capital shareholders’ shares will be voted in accordance with the 180 Degree Capital Board’s recommendation. If any other business is brought before the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, 180 Degree Capital shareholders’ shares will be voted at the 180 Degree Capital Board’s discretion unless 180 Degree Capital shareholders specifically state otherwise on their proxies.

180 Degree Capital shareholders may revoke a proxy at any time before it is exercised by notifying 180 Degree Capital’s Secretary in writing, by submitting a properly executed, later-dated proxy, or by voting virtually at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting. Any 180 Degree Capital shareholder entitled to vote at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting may attend the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and vote virtually, whether or not such 180 Degree Capital shareholder has previously voted his or her shares via proxy or wishes to change a previous vote.

100

A 180 Degree Capital shareholder may vote virtually at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting or by proxy in accordance with the instructions provided below. A 180 Degree Capital shareholder may also authorize a proxy by telephone or through the internet using the toll-free telephone numbers or web address printed on your proxy card. Authorizing a proxy by telephone or through the internet requires you to input the control number located on your proxy card. After inputting the control number, you will be prompted to direct your proxy to vote on each proposal. You will have an opportunity to review your directions and make any necessary changes before submitting your directions and terminating the telephone call or internet link.

You may vote by internet, telephone or mail by following the directions and indicating your instructions on the enclosed proxy card, and if by mail, by dating and signing the proxy card, and promptly returning the proxy card in the envelope provided, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States.

Please allow sufficient time for your proxy card to be received on or prior to 3:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 21, 2025, or the business day before any adjournment date(s), if any.

Revocability of Proxies

Any proxy authorized pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by notice from the person giving the proxy at any time before it is exercised. A revocation may be effected by resubmitting voting instructions via the internet voting site, by telephone, by obtaining and properly completing another proxy card that is dated later than the original proxy card and returning it, by mail, in time to be received before the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, by attending the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and voting virtually, or by a notice, provided in writing and signed by the 180 Degree Capital shareholder, delivered to 180 Degree Capital’s Secretary on any business day before the date of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital will each bear the cost of the solicitation related to the Proposals, including any costs directly associated with preparing, filing, printing and mailing this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the accompanying Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders and proxy card to MLC Shareholders and 180 Degree Capital shareholders, respectively. For additional details regarding the treatment of Shared Expenses, which includes the foregoing expenses, please see the section titled, “The Merger Agreement - Merger Consideration.” 180 Degree Capital intends to use the services of EQ Funds Solutions, LLC to aid in the distribution and collection of proxy votes for an estimated fee of $70,000, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or employees for such services.

180 DEGREE CAPITAL SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CAREFULLY READ THIS JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION CONCERNING THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGERS. IN PARTICULAR, 180 DEGREE CAPITAL SHAREHOLDERS ARE DIRECTED TO THE MERGER AGREEMENT WHICH IS ATTACHED HERETO AS ANNEX A.

180 DEGREE CAPITAL PROPOSAL NO. 1 - THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL

Introduction

The 180 Degree Capital Board is asking 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders to adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Mergers. Upon completion of the Mergers, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, each TURN Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive, in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the TURN Exchange Ratio, which is described in the section entitled “The Mergers—Merger Consideration.” The Mergers and the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement are discussed in greater detail in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the sections entitled “The Mergers” and “The Merger Agreement.”

Approval of the Business Combination Proposal is required for the completion of the Mergers.

Reasons for the Proposed Mergers
For a discussion of the factors considered by the 180 Degree Capital Board in reaching its decision to approve the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated thereby, including the Mergers, see the section entitled “The Mergers—180 Degree Capital’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board.
Further Information Regarding the Mergers

Appraisal Rights
180 Degree Capital shareholders do not have the right to exercise appraisal rights with respect to the Business Combination Proposal. Accordingly, to the extent that a 180 Degree Capital shareholder objects to the Business Combination Proposal, such 180 Degree Capital shareholder will not have the right to have a court judicially determine (and the 180 Degree Capital shareholder will not receive) the fair value for its TURN Common Shares under the provisions of the NYBCL governing appraisal rights.
Required Vote
The approval of the Business Combination Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the outstanding TURN Common Shares at a meeting at which a quorum is present. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the Business Combination Proposal. The Business Combination Proposal is a
102

non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.
The 180 Degree Capital Board believes that adoption of the Business Combination Proposal is in the best interests of 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders and has unanimously recommended that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal.
180 DEGREE CAPITAL PROPOSAL NO. 2 - THE TURN 1940 ACT DEREGISTRATION PROPOSAL

Introduction

If the Business Combination Proposal is approved and the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been consummated, 180 Degree Capital will seek deregistration of the company on Form N-8F (the “Deregistration”) with the SEC as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Deregistration would involve prohibiting the public offering of 180 Degree Capital’s shares and would mean that in the future, 180 Degree Capital would be excluded from the definition of an investment company by Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and, accordingly, would not be required to register under or be regulated by the 1940 Act. The Business Combination Proposal is discussed in greater detail in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus under the section “Proposal No. 1: The Business Combination Proposal.”
Set forth below is a summary of the 180 Degree Capital Board’s considerations in approving the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal.
Reasons for the Proposed Change
If the Business Combination Proposal is approved and the Mergers and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been consummated, management of 180 Degree Capital and the 180 Degree Capital Board believes that it would no longer be in the company’s or shareholders’ best interests to remain registered as an investment company pursuant to the 1940 Act. Management of 180 Degree Capital and the 180 Degree Capital Board considered that Deregistration is expected to result in a substantial reduction in the regulatory burden to which 180 Degree Capital is currently subject, which is expected to result in decreased administrative costs. Upon deregistering under the 1940 Act, 180 Degree Capital would cease to be subject to the regulations of the 1940 Act and, among other things, would no longer be required to file certain periodic reports with the SEC, which could result in increased operational flexibility to 180 Degree Capital. Management of 180 Degree Capital devotes considerable time to issues related to compliance with the 1940 Act and 180 Degree Capital incurs substantial legal and accounting fees with respect to such matters. The costs of this regulation are borne by 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders. The 180 Degree Capital Board also considered that, as a result of Deregistration, 180 Degree Capital shareholders would lose the protective safeguards of the 1940 Act, which are described in the section “Regulatory Effects of the Deregistration” below. The 180 Degree Capital Board believes that the costs of compliance with the 1940 Act are substantial, especially when compared to the relative size and net income of 180 Degree Capital, and that it would be in the best interest of shareholders for 180 Degree Capital to cease to be regulated under the 1940 Act.

Regulatory Effects of the Deregistration

As a registered investment company, 180 Degree Capital is subject to extensive regulation under the 1940 Act. The 1940 Act, among other things,
regulates the composition of the 180 Degree Capital Board, requiring that 180 Degree Capital be managed by a board of directors, at least 40% of whom are not “interested persons” of 180 Degree Capital, as defined in the 1940 Act;
regulates the capital structure of 180 Degree Capital by limiting the issuance of senior equity and debt securities and limiting the issuance of stock options, rights and warrants and limits 180 Degree Capital’s ability to obtain leverage through derivative instruments;
103

prohibits certain transactions between 180 Degree Capital and affiliated persons, including directors and officers of 180 Degree Capital or affiliated companies, unless such transactions are exempted by the SEC;
prohibits the issuance of common stock at less than net asset value;
regulates the form, content and frequency of financial reports to shareholders;
requires 180 Degree Capital to carry its assets at fair value rather than at cost in financial reports;
requires that 180 Degree Capital file with the SEC periodic reports designed to disclose compliance with the 1940 Act and to present other financial information;
restricts 180 Degree Capital from changing the nature of its business or fundamental investment policies without the prior approval of its shareholders;
prohibits pyramiding of investment companies and the cross ownership of securities;
provides for the custody of securities under conditions designed to assure the safety of 180 Degree Capital’s assets;
provides for the bonding of certain employees;
prohibits voting trusts;
provides that no securities may be issued for services or for property other than cash or securities except as a dividend or a distribution to security holders or in connection with a reorganization;
regulates the manner in which repurchases of TURN Common Shares may be effected;
regulates plans of reorganization, including mergers with affiliates;
provides for enforcement by the SEC of the 1940 Act through administrative proceedings and court actions;
creates a right in private persons to bring injunctive and damage actions in federal courts to enforce compliance with certain limited provisions of the 1940 Act;
requires 180 Degree Capital to have a written code of ethics and compliance policies and procedures designed to prevent violations of federal securities laws and a chief compliance officer charged with administering these policies; and
prohibits 180 Degree Capital from limiting the liability of any director and officer for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless regard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Upon the Deregistration, 180 Degree Capital will no longer be subject to the foregoing regulations, all of which are designed to protect the interests of 180 Degree Capital shareholders. Instead, 180 Degree Capital would operate as a private investment fund excluded from the definition of investment company under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act, and, accordingly, would not be required to registered under or be regulated by the 1940 Act, and 180 Degree Capital shareholders would no longer be afforded the regulatory protections of the 1940 Act.

Process of Deregistration

If the Deregistration is approved by 180 Degree Capital shareholders, officers of 180 Degree Capital will prepare and submit an application for an order of deregistration as an investment company on 180 Degree Capital’s behalf under Section 8(f) of the 1940 Act by making a filing with the SEC on Form N-8F. After reviewing the application, the SEC may require 180 Degree Capital to supply additional information, which may result in one or more amendments to the application. The SEC can on its own motion or on the motion of any interested party order
104

a public hearing on the application. There can be no assurance with respect to the timing of the Deregistration order, or that the SEC will grant 180 Degree Capital’s application.

Further Information Regarding the Proposed Change

Appraisal Rights
180 Degree Capital shareholders do not have the right to exercise appraisal rights with respect to the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal. Accordingly, to the extent that a 180 Degree Capital shareholder objects to the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal, such 180 Degree Capital shareholder will not have the right to have a court judicially determine (and the 180 Degree Capital shareholder will not receive) the fair value for its TURN Common Shares under the provisions of the NYBCL governing appraisal rights.
Required Vote
The approval of the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present or represented by proxy at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal. The TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.
The 180 Degree Capital Board believes that adoption of the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal is in the best interests of 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders and has unanimously recommended that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal.

180 DEGREE CAPITAL PROPOSAL NO. 3 - THE NEW MOUNT LOGAN EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN PROPOSAL

The New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal asks the 180 Degree Capital shareholders to approve and adopt the 2025 Plan. An aggregate number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that shall not exceed 2,600,000 will be reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan. It is expected that the board of directors of New Mount Logan will approve and ratify the 2025 Plan post-Closing before any grants or issuances are made thereunder. If approved by the shareholders, the effective date of the 2025 Plan will be the Closing Date. The 2025 Plan is described in more detail below and in the section entitled “Description of 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.” A copy of the 2025 Plan is attached as Annex E to this joint proxy statement/prospectus. If approved by the shareholders, the 2025 Plan will be administered by the members of the New Mount Logan Board who qualify as independent directors or by the compensation committee of the New Mount Logan Board, which will have the authority to make awards under the 2025 Plan. 

After careful consideration, the 180 Degree Capital Board believes that approving the 2025 Plan is in the best interests of 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders. The general purpose of the 2025 Plan is to enhance the profitability and value of New Mount Logan for the benefit of its shareholders by enabling New Mount Logan to offer cash and stock-based incentives in order to attract, retain and reward employees, directors and consultants. If approved, the 2025 Plan will enable New Mount Logan to provide cash and stock-based incentives that strengthen the mutuality of interests between employees, directors and consultants who participate in the 2025 Plan and the shareholders of New Mount Logan.

105

Terms of the 2025 Plan

The following summary of the principal terms of the 2025 Plan is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the 2025 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Annex E to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. You may also obtain, free of charge, a copy of the 2025 Plan by writing to New Mount Logan at 650 Madison Avenue, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10022.

Administration. A committee of the New Mount Logan Board, comprised of independent directors, will administer the 2025 Plan (the “Administrator”). For this purpose, the role of Administrator for the 2025 Plan will be delegated to the compensation committee of the New Mount Logan Board. The Administrator determines which eligible individuals shall be granted awards under the 2025 Plan. Along with other authority granted to the Administrator under the 2025 Plan, the Administrator may (i) select recipients of awards, (ii) determine the number of shares subject to awards, (iii) determine the terms and conditions of awards, (iv) modify, extend or renew awards and (v) allow participants to satisfy withholding tax obligations through a reduction of shares.

Available Shares; Lapsed Awards. An aggregate number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that may be issued or used for reference purposes or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2025 Plan shall not exceed 2,600,000 shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issued under awards granted in assumption, substitution or exchange for previously granted awards of a company acquired by New Mount Logan or any of its subsidiaries shall not reduce the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock available under the 2025 Plan, and to the extent permitted by the rules of the stock exchange on which the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock are then listed or quoted, shares under a shareholder approved plan of an acquired company may be used for awards under the 2025 Plan and do not reduce the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock available under the 2025 Plan. If any outstanding award under the 2025 Plan is forfeited, expired, terminated, settled for cash or unearned, in whole or in part, or cancelled for any reason (where applicable, without having been exercised in full), then the number of shares subject to the 2025 Plan shall be increased by the portion of such awards so forfeited, expired, terminated, cash-settled, unearned or cancelled and such forfeited, expired, terminated, cash-settled, unearned or cancelled shares may again be awarded under the 2025 Plan. Shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock tendered in payment of the exercise price or withholding taxes with respect to an award shall not become, or again be, available for awards under the 2025 Plan. Additionally, the aggregate number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that may be issued or used with respect to any Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) shall not exceed the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan (subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2025 Plan).

Eligibility. Individuals eligible to receive awards under the 2025 Plan include New Mount Logan’s employees, officers, directors and consultants. Approximately zero employees, four officers, seven directors and 30 consultants are expected to be eligible to participate in the 2025 Plan, if approved, as of the Closing Date. The Administrator determines from time to time the participants to whom awards will be granted.

Incentive Awards. The 2025 Plan authorizes stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, performance awards, as well as other awards (described in the 2025 Plan). The 2025 Plan retains the flexibility to offer competitive incentives and to tailor benefits to specific needs and circumstances. Any award may be paid or settled in cash, securities or other property. An award will vest, and an option or SAR will become exercisable, in accordance with the schedule set forth in the applicable award agreement, subject to the minimum vesting period as described in the 2025 Plan.

Stock Option. A stock option is the right to purchase shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock at a future date at a specified price per share not less than the fair market value of a share of New Mount Logan Common Stock on the date of grant, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, or, in the case of an ISO granted to a 10 percent stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. An option may either be an Incentive Stock Option (“ISO”) or a non-qualified stock option. ISO benefits are taxed differently from non-qualified stock options, as described under “Federal Income Tax Treatment of Awards under the 2025 Plan,” below. ISOs also are subject to more restrictive terms and are limited in amount by the Code and the 2025 Plan. Full payment for shares purchased on the exercise of any option must be made at the time of such exercise in a manner approved by the Administrator.
106


SARs. A SAR is the right to receive payment of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of New Mount Logan Common Stock on the date of exercise of the SAR over the exercise price of the SAR. A SAR may be granted in conjunction with a stock option or otherwise. The exercise price of a SAR will be established by the Administrator at the time of grant but will not be less than the fair market value of a share of the New Mount Logan Common Stock on the date of grant (or, if granted in conjunction with an ISO to a 10 percent stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value).

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is typically for a fixed number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock, subject to restrictions. The Administrator specifies the price, if any, the participant must pay for such shares, the duration of the restriction period and the conditions under which the shares may be forfeited. The Administrator may waive any restriction period and any other conditions under appropriate circumstances (such as death or disability). Generally, during the restriction period, the participant will have all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the shares of restricted stock, including the right to vote the shares of restricted stock and to receive dividends, provided that, unless provided in an award agreement, any such dividends will be deferred until the expiration of the applicable restriction period or the attainment of any applicable performance goals, in each case subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying shares of restricted stock.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator may, subject to limitations under applicable law, make a grant of such other stock-based awards, including, without limitation, performance stock units, dividend equivalent units, stock equivalent units, restricted stock units and deferred stock units under the 2025 Plan that are payable in cash or denominated or payable in or valued by shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock or factors that influence the value of such shares. The Administrator may determine the terms and conditions of any such other awards, which may include the achievement of certain minimum performance goals and/or a minimum service period. The performance goals for performance-based other stock-based awards generally may be based on one or more of the objective criteria set forth in the 2025 Plan and discussed in general below. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, the payment of dividends, if any, will be deferred until the vesting of the underlying award and subject to the same forfeiture conditions as such underlying award.

Other Cash-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant awards payable in cash. Cash-based awards will be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Administrator will determine, including, without limitation, being subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions or being awarded as a discretionary bonus that is not subject to restrictions or conditions. If a cash-based award is subject to vesting conditions, the Administrator may accelerate the vesting of such award in its discretion.

Performance Awards. A performance award is an award payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals. If the performance award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals or, if applicable, upon any continuous service requirement following the attainment of the relevant performance goals, either in cash or in shares of restricted stock, based on the then current fair market value of such shares, as determined by the Administrator. If the performance award is payable in shares of restricted stock, the shares will be transferrable to the participant only upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals, or in combination with any continuous service requirement. Based on service, performance and/or other factors or criteria, the Administrator may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any performance award. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, the payment of dividends, if any, will be deferred until the attainment of the relevant performance goals and subject to the same forfeiture conditions as the underlying performance award.
 
Transfer Restrictions. Subject to certain exceptions, awards under the 2025 Plan are not transferable by the recipient other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and are generally exercisable during the recipient’s lifetime only by such recipient.
 
Adjustments or Changes in Capitalization. In the event of any subdivision (by any split, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, combination or otherwise) of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock, change in the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock by reason of a merger, consolidation, statutory
107

exchange, spin-off, reorganization, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of New Mount Logan or event having an effect substantially similar to the foregoing, or other change in the capital structure of New Mount Logan, the Administrator may make or provide for proportionate adjustments and/or substitutions (if any) as it deems equitable under the circumstances in its sole discretion to prevent dilution or enlargement of participant’s rights under outstanding awards under the 2025 Plan.

Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined under the 2025 Plan), except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator in an award agreement, awards will be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the Administrator: (1) awards, whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, or have new rights substituted therefor, as determined by the Administrator in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and restrictions to which shares of restricted stock or any other award granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall not lapse upon a Change in Control and the restricted stock or other award shall, where appropriate in the sole discretion of the Administrator, receive the same distribution as other common stock on such terms as determined by the Administrator; provided that the Administrator may decide to award additional restricted stock or other awards in lieu of any cash distribution; (2) awards may be purchased for an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the excess (if any) of the highest price per share of New Mount Logan Common Stock paid in any transaction related to a Change in Control of New Mount Logan with respect to the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock covered by such awards, over the applicable exercise price per share (if any) under such awards, provided that any cash or other consideration payable upon the purchase of such awards may be subject to vesting terms substantially similar to those that applied to such awards immediately prior to the Change in Control and/or earn-out, escrow, indemnification, holdback or similar arrangements, to the extent such arrangements are applicable to consideration paid to other equity holders of New Mount Logan in connection with the Change in Control; or (3) all outstanding and unexercised stock options, stock appreciation rights or any other stock-based award that provides for a participant elected exercise may be terminated by delivering notice of termination to each participant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of consummation of the Change in Control, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Change in Control, each such participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of such participant’s awards that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the award agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Change in Control, and, provided that, if the Change in Control does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void.

Minimum Vesting Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2025 Plan, awards granted under the 2025 Plan may not become vested, in whole or in part, prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, except that: (i) such limitation shall not apply to awards granted for up to an aggregate of five percent (5%) of the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock available under the 2025 Plan, (ii) such limitation shall not apply to awards made to non-employee directors and (iii) the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of awards subject to such limitation in the event of a Change in Control or upon the participant’s death, disability, termination without cause or termination for good reason or similar term, if applicable.

Amendments to and Termination of the 2025 Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2025 Plan, the New Mount Logan Board may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of the 2025 Plan and/or awards granted thereunder, or suspend or terminate the 2025 Plan and awards thereunder entirely, retroactively or otherwise, subject to shareholder approval in certain instances (as set forth in the 2025 Plan); provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the 2025 Plan, the rights of a participant with respect to awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination may not be adversely affected without the consent of such participant. The Administrator may amend the terms of any outstanding award, prospectively or retroactively, provided that no such amendment will impair the rights of any participant without the consent of such participant. Unless earlier terminated by the New Mount Logan Board, the 2025 Plan will automatically terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date it is approved by shareholders and no award shall be granted under the 2025 Plan on or after that date.

108

Recoupment of Awards. The 2025 Plan provides that awards granted under the 2025 Plan are subject to the Mount Logan Capital, Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy that New Mount Logan will have in place at the consummation of the Mergers and to any and all forfeiture and recoupment policies that New Mount Logan has or may have in place whether required by the Exchange Act, Nasdaq listing standards, or under any applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, or otherwise.

United States Federal Income Tax. Federal income tax consequences related to awards under the 2025 Plan are summarized below in the section entitled “Description of 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan.”
 
Securities Registration

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, when permitted by SEC rules, New Mount Logan intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable under the 2025 Plan.

Resolution to be Voted Upon

The full text of the resolution to be passed is as follows:

“RESOLVED, as an ordinary resolution, that the 2025 Plan is hereby authorized and approved, to be effective immediately upon the consummation of the Business Combination.”
 
Required Vote

The approval of the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the TURN Common Shares cast at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and entitled to vote. The New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are expected. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal will not be presented at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting.

Recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board

The 180 Degree Capital Board believes that adoption of the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal is in the best interests of 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders and has unanimously recommended that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal.

180 DEGREE CAPITAL PROPOSAL NO. 4 - THE ADJOURNMENT PROPOSAL

The 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting may be adjourned to another time and place if necessary or appropriate to permit the solicitation of additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting to approve one or more of the Proposals.

180 Degree Capital is asking 180 Degree Capital shareholders to authorize the holder of any proxy solicited by the 180 Degree Capital Board to vote in favor of any adjournment of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting to approve one or more Proposals.

Required Vote

Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the TURN Common Shares present in person or represented by proxy at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and entitled to vote, even if less than a quorum is so present. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes “against” the Adjournment Proposal. The Adjournment Proposal is a non-routine matter for 180 Degree Capital and so no broker non-votes are
109

expected. Proxies received will be voted “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal, unless a 180 Degree Capital shareholder designates otherwise.

The vote on the Adjournment Proposal is separate and apart from the vote on any other Proposal set forth in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Accordingly, you may vote to approve the Business Combination Proposal and the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal (each of which are cross-conditioned on the approval of the other) and vote to approve the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal (which is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal) and vote not to approve the Adjournment Proposal, and vice versa.

The 180 Degree Capital Board has unanimously recommended that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

If the Mergers are completed, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TURN Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.03 per share, of 180 Degree Capital, (ii) each TURN Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than any Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the TURN Exchange Ratio, subject to the treatment of fractional shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (iii) each share of New Mount Logan Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be redeemed by New Mount Logan and such shares will be cancelled and will cease to exist and no consideration will be issued in redemption therefor, (iv) each unit representing a membership interest in MLC Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one unit representing a membership interest in Mount Logan, and (v) each MLC Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time but, for the avoidance of doubt, after giving effect to the MLC Domestication and other than any Excluded Shares, will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the MLC Exchange Ratio, subject to the treatment of fractional shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Mergers, and any fractional shares to which an applicable holder of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares would otherwise be entitled will be aggregated as to each such holder and such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock.
180 Degree Capital does not expect to realize capital gains from the disposition of securities prior to the completion of the Mergers outside of the ordinary course of its business or its historical rate of investment turnover. The transaction costs of any such dispositions in the ordinary course of business are expected to be substantially similar to its historical transaction costs for such open-market trades. 180 Degree Capital has not historically distributed, and currently does not plan to initiate any distributions of, capital gains as it is in an undistributed loss position and does not currently anticipate that dispositions completed prior to the Mergers will result in it being in an undistributed gain position.

In addition, while no definitive timing for sale of the portfolio investments presently held by 180 Degree Capital has been determined, it is expected that New Mount Logan will undertake an orderly disposition of such portfolio investments subsequent to closing of the Mergers. In addition, New Mount Logan may transfer any such portfolio investments out from under 180 Degree Capital after completion of the Mergers in order to facilitate its deregistration under the 1940 Act.

Background of the Mergers

The Mergers and the provisions of the Merger Agreement are the result of arm’s length negotiations conducted between representatives of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital. The following chronology summarizes the key meetings and material negotiations and discussions that led to the signing and public announcement of the Merger Agreement. The following chronology does not purport to catalog every conversation between Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital and their respective representatives and other parties.

The Mount Logan Board, together with Mount Logan’s management team, regularly evaluates Mount Logan’s historical performance, future growth prospects and overall strategic direction in light of the evolving business and economic environment. This evaluation has entailed reviewing Mount Logan’s long-term strategy as a standalone company and considering potential opportunities for business combinations, acquisition or sale transactions and other financial and strategic alternatives in the asset management and insurance solutions space with a view towards enhancing shareholder value.

The 180 Degree Capital Board, together with 180 Degree Capital’s management team, including Kevin M. Rendino, Chief Executive Officer, and Daniel B. Wolfe, President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Compliance Officer, both of whom also serve on the 180 Degree Capital Board, regularly evaluates 180 Degree Capital’s historical performance, future growth prospects and overall strategic direction in light of the evolving business and economic environment. This evaluation has entailed reviewing 180 Degree Capital’s long-term strategy as a standalone company, potential options that could lead to a narrowing of the discount between the price of TURN Common Shares and its net asset value, and considering potential opportunities for business combinations and other financial and strategic alternatives with a view towards enhancing shareholder value. Consideration of each of these options and strategic alternatives was communicated in 180 Degree Capital’s initial announcement of a Discount Management Program on November 13, 2023, and in subsequent updates regarding the first measurement period of the Discount Management Program throughout 2024. As noted in 180 Degree Capital’s initial announcement of its Discount Management Program, the 180 Degree Capital Board set two measurement periods of January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2025. Should TURN Common Shares trade at an average daily discount to NAV of more than the current average trading discount of other equity-focused closed end funds, or 12%, during either of these measurement periods, the 180 Degree Capital Board noted it would consider all available options including, but not limited to, significant expansion of 180 Degree Capital’s stock buyback program, cash distributions, or a tender offer. 180 Degree Capital subsequently noted in future press releases beginning in November 2024, that such considerations could also include other strategic options.

On July 1, 2024, at the request of Parker A. Weil, a member of the 180 Degree Capital Board, Mr. Rendino and Mr. Weil met in person with Steven Wayne, an Operating Advisor at BCPA to discuss topics of mutual interest related to asset management and the prior experience of Mount Logan and BCPA with strategic transactions. Mr. Weil believed that the perspectives of Mr. Wayne could be useful to 180 Degree Capital’s Board as it evaluated potential strategic options for 180 Degree Capital given Mr. Wayne’s experience considering similar options for a business development company, OHA Investment Corporation (“OHAI”), that he managed and which was merged with Portman Ridge Finance Corporation, a business development company managed by Sierra Crest Investment Management LLC (“SCIM”), an investment adviser majority owned by BCPA and in which Mount Logan has a minority interest. Upon the conclusion of this meeting, Mr. Rendino and Mr. Wayne agreed to schedule a follow-up meeting to continue the conversation with the inclusion of Mr. Wolfe.

On July 18, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe met in person with Mr. Wayne to continue the prior discussion. During this meeting, the participants discussed, among other things, the sale of OHAI, the potential benefits of a combination of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, and potential synergies between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan. The parties agreed to continue conversations and to include additional representatives of Mount Logan in the next meeting.

On July 28, 2024, Mr. Wayne proposed to Mr. Wolfe that 180 Degree Capital enter into a non-disclosure agreement in advance of the next planned meeting on July 30, 2024, following which representatives of 180 Degree
113

Capital and BCPA negotiated the terms of a mutual non-disclosure agreement. On July 29, 2024, 180 Degree Capital and BCPA entered into a mutual non-disclosure agreement.

On July 30, 2024, Mr. Wolfe and Robert E. Bigelow, 180 Degree Capital’s VP of Fund Development, met in person with Edward Goldthorpe, Mount Logan’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Olivier Fioroni, a Senior Manager at Mount Logan, and Mr. Wayne, to discuss potential options for a collaboration between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and other topics of mutual interest. During this meeting, the participants discussed the potential combination of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital.

On August 9, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Board met via videoconference and Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe provided the 180 Degree Capital Board with an update on their initial meetings with representatives of Mount Logan, including management’s recommendation that 180 Degree Capital engage in further discussions with Mount Logan regarding a potential strategic transaction. At the meeting, the 180 Degree Capital Board authorized and instructed management of 180 Degree Capital to engage in further discussions with representatives of Mount Logan to further explore the merits of a potential strategic transaction between the 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan.

On August 14, 2024, Mr. Wayne provided Messrs. Rendino, Wolfe and Bigelow an initial due diligence request list for 180 Degree Capital and background materials on Mount Logan and BCPA.

On August 27, 2024, Mr. Wolfe provided Messrs. Wayne and Fioroni responses to the initial due diligence request list and materials responsive thereto.

On September 11, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe met in person with Messrs. Goldthorpe, Wayne and Fioroni to discuss structures for a potential combination of the two companies and the background of Mount Logan’s history of acquisitions. The discussion included a detailed review of 180 Degree Capital’s access to investment opportunities in small capitalization public companies as well as its investment philosophy and approach. The discussion also included a review of Mount Logan’s asset management and insurance businesses. The meeting attendees also discussed how 180 Degree Capital’s access and approach to engagements with companies could be complementary to the capabilities of Mount Logan, in addition to Mount Logan’s strategic interest to list on a U.S. exchange and invest additional capital into its asset management and insurance businesses. Upon conclusion of this meeting, both parties agreed to conduct more in-depth due diligence on the other company’s businesses.

From September 13, 2024 to October 2, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and all of the other members of the 180 Degree Capital Board interviewed three potential financial advisers, including Fenchurch. In addition, on September 18, 2024 and September 25, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe met via videoconference and in-person, respectively, with Messrs. Fioroni and Wayne and Jordan Mangum, Principal at BCPA, to conduct detailed reviews of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio.

On October 7, 2024, 180 Degree Capital received a non-binding indication of interest (the “Mount Logan LOI”) from Mount Logan that proposed terms for a potential merger of Mount Logan with 180 Degree Capital. The Mount Logan LOI proposed a NAV-for-NAV transaction with the proportion of newly-issued shares of the combined entity being set based on the respective net asset value of each entity at the time of closing. The Mount Logan LOI further proposed that the portion of newly-issued shares to be issued to 180 Degree Capital shareholders would be based on the value of 180 Degree Capital’s publicly traded holdings as of the date of closing, and be held in escrow and would be adjusted higher or lower based on the realized value of such securities, subject to a hurdle rate of 7.0%. The Mount Logan LOI also noted the expectation that a minimum to be determined amount of 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value would be comprised of cash at closing, and that the management and members of the board of directors of Mount Logan would comprise the management and board of directors of the combined company.

On October 10, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Board held a meeting via videoconference with participation from 180 Degree Capital’s outside counsel, Proskauer Rose LLP (“Proskauer”), to discuss the receipt of the Mount Logan LOI. At this meeting, the 180 Degree Capital Board formed the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee comprised of Parker A. Weil (as Chairman), Stacy R. Brandom and Richard P. Shanley, each of whom
114

serves on the 180 Degree Capital Board and was determined by the 180 Degree Capital Board to be “independent” under the rules of the SEC and Nasdaq, not an “interested person” of 180 Degree Capital as such term is defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act and disinterested with respect to the proposed transaction with Mount Logan. The 180 Degree Capital Board unanimously authorized the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee to evaluate the Mount Logan LOI as well as any other potential strategic alternatives for 180 Degree Capital, including whether or not to proceed with any proposed transaction, the final terms and conditions of any definitive agreements pertaining to any proposed strategic transaction and the applicable consideration payable to 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders resulting therefrom, subject in each case to the approval of the 180 Degree Capital Board prior to the execution of any final definitive agreements with respect to any such transaction. The 180 Degree Capital Board also unanimously authorized the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee to engage independent financial, legal and other advisors as the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee deemed necessary or advisable in connection with carrying out its responsibilities.

On October 11, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference that included participation from Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and a representative of Fenchurch. At this meeting, and with the representative of Fenchurch not present during the portion of such discussion, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee discussed the strengths and weaknesses of each of the financial advisors that met with the 180 Degree Capital Board and resolved unanimously to select Fenchurch as the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s exclusive financial adviser. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and the representative of Fenchurch then discussed the Mount Logan LOI and a proposed response to such proposal. Following the meeting, a representative of Fenchurch delivered the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s response to Mount Logan on behalf of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and conveyed to Mount Logan that while it believed it was appropriate and worthwhile for 180 Degree Capital to begin due diligence on Mount Logan, there were a number of items from the Mount Logan LOI that required further discussion, including that (i) while the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee believed that the distribution of ownership of the combined company based on the ratio to NAV of each of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital appeared to be a reasonable method for determining the distribution of ownership of the combined company, the inclusion of an escrow or other holdback mechanism applicable to the shares of the combined company to be issued to 180 Degree Capital shareholders would not be acceptable, (ii) the potential benefits of 180 Degree Capital’s tax loss carryforwards should be analyzed and taken into account in valuing 180 Degree Capital, as they are not currently included in 180 Degree Capital’s reported NAV, and (iii) the combined company’s board of directors should have representation from 180 Degree Capital commensurate with 180 Degree Capital shareholders’ post-Closing ownership percentage of the combined company.

On October 14, 2024, 180 Degree Capital delivered an initial due diligence request list to Mount Logan.

On October 17, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and Fenchurch met in person with Messrs. Fioroni, Wayne and Mangum as well as Nikita Klassen, Chief Financial Officer of Mount Logan, and Anna Elliot, President of Ability Insurance Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mount Logan, and Blake Carr, Chief Financial Officer, of Ability Insurance Company, to conduct due diligence on Mount Logan’s asset management and insurance businesses.

On October 21, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe met in person with Fenchurch to prepare for an upcoming meeting with representatives of Mount Logan scheduled for later that day, as well as the potential timeline and workstreams associated with the outreach to potential alternative counterparties.

On October 21, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and representatives of Fenchurch met in person with Messrs. Fioroni, Wayne and Magnum and Ms. Klassen to discuss the operating expenses of 180 Degree Capital, including synergies that would potentially be available as a combined entity.

On October 24, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and representatives of Fenchurch met via videoconference to review and discuss a preliminary list of potential counterparties identified by Fenchurch as part of the planned outreach efforts to identify potential alternatives to the proposed transaction with Mount Logan. Fenchurch noted that it had preliminary discussions on a no-names basis with a number of the entities on the list to gauge interest and to explore how each would view the prospects of a potential transaction. Substantially all of the
115

entities identified and those with which Fenchurch had preliminary conversations that expressed potential interest in further discussions were registered funds or business development companies that traded below net asset value and were interested in a potential transaction as a way to increase assets under management in such entities. Fenchurch also noted that it had held initial conversations with a foreign operating company that expressed potential interest in a transaction that would result in a public listing on a US exchange.

On November 1, 2024, 180 Degree Capital received access to an electronic data room for Mount Logan. Between November 1, 2024 and January 16, 2025, 180 Degree Capital and its advisors, including Proskauer, who were also provided access to the electronic data room, conducted due diligence with respect to Mount Logan, during which time various requests for additional documentation and information were exchanged between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and their respective advisors, which for Mount Logan included Dechert LLP (“Dechert”) and Wildeboer Dellelce LLP.

On November 4, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and representatives of Fenchurch met in person with Messrs. Goldthorpe, Fioroni and Wayne to discuss updates to 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio holdings, including potential value-creating catalysts, timelines on which such catalysts could occur and current estimates from the management of 180 Degree Capital for potential returns on such investments.

On November 5, 2024, 180 Degree Capital received an updated indication of interest from Mount Logan (the “Updated Mount Logan LOI”) that proposed a transaction based on the NAV of each entity at closing with no escrows, holdbacks or adjustments post-Closing. The Updated Mount Logan LOI also modified the expected composition of the board of directors of the combined company to be primarily comprised of individuals appointed or approved by Mount Logan, and that representation from individuals appointed or approved by 180 Degree Capital would be determined at a later stage. Mount Logan also requested that 180 Degree Capital enter into an exclusivity agreement for 30 business days to complete due diligence and negotiate definitive documents for the proposed combination.

On November 5, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference that included participation from Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and a representative from Proskauer to discuss the revised proposal and potential granting of exclusivity to Mount Logan. During such meeting, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee considered the potential risks and benefits associated with agreeing to Mount Logan’s request for exclusivity and discussed the considerations associated with pausing a broader sale process during such exclusivity period. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee also considered discussions with Fenchurch regarding its initial outreach to potential alternative counterparties and Fenchurch’s determination that it had not identified alternative counterparties or transactions that presented the unique, strategic benefits of the proposed strategic transaction with Mount Logan and that substantially all of the parties that expressed initial interest to engage in further discussions regarding a potential strategic transaction were closed-end funds or business development companies that traded at a discount to their NAV and viewed a potential transaction as an opportunity to increase the size of their funds. Following a detailed discussion that included the acknowledgment that Mount Logan had conveyed its strong disinclination to proceed with further discussions in the absence of exclusivity and noting that Mount Logan had in large part incorporated the proposed changes requested by the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee in the Updated Mount Logan LOI, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee unanimously recommended to the 180 Degree Capital Board that 180 Degree Capital enter into the proposed exclusivity agreement with Mount Logan. Later that day, the entire 180 Degree Capital Board met and approved entering into the exclusivity agreement with Mount Logan.

On November 7, 2024, Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital executed the exclusivity agreement (the “Exclusivity Agreement”) that provided for exclusivity of negotiations between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan for a period of 30 business days, with an extension for an additional 30 business days unless either party elected to opt out of such extension at each party’s individual discretion. Pursuant to the Exclusivity Agreement, Mount Logan agreed to restrictions on its ability to solicit certain employees of 180 Degree Capital for a one-year period.

On November 11, 2024, 180 Degree Capital provided Mount Logan with an updated and expanded due diligence list.
116


On November 12, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee met via videoconference, with participation from Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe, to discuss updates on the status of discussions with Mount Logan, including regarding the potential structure of the proposed transaction, the timeline for potentially signing a merger agreement and the status of the due diligence review of Mount Logan.

Beginning on November 15, 2024, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee began to receive weekly (and at times more frequent) updates from 180 Degree Capital’s management, specifically Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe, regarding the proposed strategic transaction with Mount Logan.

On November 19, 2024, a shareholder of 180 Degree Capital who frequently employs activist investor strategies (“180 Shareholder A”) contacted Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe via email requesting to speak regarding a proposal such shareholder characterized as “very compelling” without providing additional specifics about such proposal. Mr. Rendino informed Mr. Wayne of the email from 180 Shareholder A and requested approval under the Exclusivity Agreement to have a call with 180 Shareholder A to seek additional information regarding such shareholder’s proposal. Mount Logan provided such approval.

On November 20, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe held a call with 180 Shareholder A during which 180 Shareholder A proceeded to request that 180 Degree Capital engage with Source Capital, Inc. (“SOR”) regarding a potential combination of 180 Degree Capital and SOR. Mr. Rendino and Mr. Wolfe noted that 180 Degree Capital would require execution of a customary non-disclosure agreement for further discussions to take place with 180 Shareholder A or any other party regarding a potential transaction. 180 Shareholder A declined to enter into a non-disclosure agreement.

From November 26, 2024 to November 27, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee interviewed three law firms to potentially serve as independent legal counsel to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee.

On December 3, 2024, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee unanimously approved the engagement of Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP (“Katten”) as independent legal counsel to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee following, among other items, a review of Katten’s experience and a determination that Katten qualified as “independent legal counsel,” as that term is defined in the 1940 Act, after considering the factors set forth in Rule 0-1(a)(6) under the 1940 Act.

On December 6, 2024, Mount Logan provided 180 Degree Capital with a detailed term sheet regarding the potential merger transaction (the “December 6 Term Sheet”). The December 6 Term Sheet contemplated, among other things, an exchange ratio based on each of Mount Logan’s and 180 Degree Capital’s respective net asset values and mutual termination rights for failure to obtain requisite shareholder approval for the proposed transaction and changes in recommendation by the other party’s board of directors in favor of the proposed transaction, each in exchange for uncapped reimbursement of the applicable party’s transaction expenses.

On December 7, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference with representatives of Fenchurch and Katten to discuss the December 6 Term Sheet. During such meeting, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and its advisors discussed the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s fiduciary duties, the terms set forth in the December 6 Term Sheet, including the structure of the proposed transaction and its tax implications, the methodologies for calculating net asset value for purposes of determining the exchange ratio, the amount of potential termination fees and attendant termination rights and the potential benefits of requesting a provision permitting 180 Degree Capital to potentially seek out competing offers for a period of time following execution of a definitive agreement (a “go-shop provision”). The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee unanimously directed Katten to convey to Proskauer the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s views and recommendations regarding the December 6 Term Sheet, which included, among other items, a request to clarify how the net asset values of both Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital would be calculated prior to the closing of the proposed transaction given the differences in how such entities calculate their respective net asset values.
117


On December 9, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference with representatives of Fenchurch and Katten to discuss a draft issues list prepared by Proskauer relating to the December 6 Term Sheet, which issues list incorporated the views and recommendations of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee that were previously provided. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee reviewed the issues list and discussed the attendant termination rights in the December 6 Term Sheet, including a desire to negotiate for a go-shop provision.

Later that day, 180 Degree Capital provided Mount Logan with comments on the December 6 Term Sheet that incorporated the comments provided by the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee (the “December 9 Issues List”), which included, among other things, a proposal for a go-shop period of at least thirty days and an indication that uncapped expense reimbursement was an unacceptable termination fee.

Also on December 9, 2024, the 180 Degree Capital Board received a letter from First Pacific Advisors, LP, the investment manager of SOR, that proposed a business combination between SOR and 180 Degree Capital. The letter did not contain any proposed terms for such a combination. The entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee instructed 180 Degree Capital’s management, specifically Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe, to seek approval from Mount Logan to speak with SOR regarding the letter from its investment manager, as was required under the Exclusivity Agreement. Mount Logan provided such approval.

On December 11, 2024, Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe met with representatives of SOR via videoconference, during which it informed SOR that 180 Degree Capital would not be able to engage in discussions with SOR without an executed non-disclosure agreement in place. Subsequent to this call, 180 Degree Capital provided a draft non-disclosure agreement to representatives of SOR for review and comment. SOR provided comments on the draft non-disclosure agreement on December 17, 2024, to which 180 Degree Capital provided further comments on December 19, 2024. No further communications with respect to the draft non-disclosure agreement occurred between 180 Degree Capital and SOR at that time.

Also on December 11, 2024, Mount Logan provided 180 Degree Capital with comments on the December 9 Issues List. Mount Logan’s response did not include any counterproposal with respect to the proposed go-shop provision or termination fee construct and instead indicated that such terms were to be discussed.

On December 12, 2024, the entire 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference with representatives of Fenchurch and Katten to discuss the status of the proposed merger between Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital. During such meeting, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee discussed, among other items, the mechanics and benefits of the proposed go-shop provision and the formulation of Mount Logan’s net asset value, including with respect to the different accounting standards used by Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital.

On December 12, 2024, Mount Logan provided 180 Degree Capital with additional comments on the December 9 Issues List that incorporated the comments provided on December 11, 2024 (the “December 12 Issues List”). The December 12 Issues List indicated that Mount Logan would be willing to consider a 30-day go-shop provision, but only if 180 Degree Capital would agree to a tiered break fee equal to 4% of the 180 Degree Capital enterprise value if an alternative transaction was entered into during the go-shop period and 6% of the 180 Degree Capital enterprise value if an alternative transaction was entered into thereafter, plus in each case, a $500,000 expense reimbursement. The December 12 Issues List further indicated that, if no go-shop provision were included, Mount Logan would be willing to forego a termination fee and cap expense reimbursement at $1,000,000 in the event the Merger Agreement was terminated in connection with an alternative transaction.

On December 13, 2024, 180 Degree Capital provided Mount Logan with comments on the December 12 Issues List that incorporated comments provided by the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and included a proposal from the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee to use a fixed value for Mount Logan to better reflect its status as an operating company and net asset value at closing for 180 Degree Capital to determine the ratio of ownership of the merged entity (the “December 13 Issues List”). This approach of a fixed value for Mount Logan
118

was also proposed due to the uncertainty of what Mount Logan’s shareholder equity would be under U.S. GAAP until the conversion was completed.

On December 16, 2024, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference, with participation from Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and representatives of Fenchurch and Katten, at which Katten provided a presentation on fiduciary duties and Fenchurch provided a valuation presentation on Mount Logan following Fenchurch’s analysis of valuation information provided by Mount Logan, with Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and representatives of Fenchurch attending the meeting only during the course of Fenchurch’s presentation.

On December 17, 2024, Mount Logan provided 180 Degree Capital with comments on the December 13 Issues List, which indicated Mount Logan’s agreement to use a fixed value for Mount Logan for purposes of determining the final exchange ratio.

Also on December 17, 2024, 180 Shareholder A entered into a non-disclosure agreement with 180 Degree Capital, and a shareholder of 180 Degree Capital who frequently employs activist investor strategies (“180 Shareholder B”) issued an open letter to 180 Degree Capital shareholders, which was publicly filed with the SEC. In its open letter, 180 Shareholder B noted that, among other things, (i) 180 Shareholder B had proposed to Mr. Rendino in October 2023, among others, that 180 Degree Capital undertake a conditionally triggered tender offer, (ii) in the view of 180 Shareholder B, the 180 Degree Capital Board had not taken sufficient steps to address shareholder concerns, and (iii) 180 Shareholder B had delivered notice to nominate three director candidates for election at the next annual meeting of 180 Degree Capital shareholders. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee was advised of the issuance of the open letter. Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and 180 Shareholder A discussed the proposed transaction with Mount Logan on December 18, 2024.

On December 18, 2024, Mount Logan communicated to 180 Degree Capital and Fenchurch a proposed fixed value for Mount Logan of $68.7 million that would be adjusted by subsequent distributions, share issuances and certain debt refinance expenses.

On December 19, 2024, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference with representatives of Fenchurch and Katten to further discuss the valuation information provided by Mount Logan and outstanding matters relating to the draft term sheet between Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital. During such meeting, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee considered the proposed valuation of Mount Logan, and evaluated specific components of such valuation. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee then addressed certain outstanding matters relating to the draft merger term sheet, including the attendant termination rights, whether a go-shop period would be provided and the payment of expenses in connection with a termination of a merger agreement. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee considered in depth factors it believed relevant with respect to the potential go-shop provision and determined that, in light of the significantly higher termination fee proposed by MLC for inclusion of a go-shop provision, the public attention that 180 Degree Capital had already garnered due to its announcement of the Discount Management Program, recent activist shareholder announcements and the extended period between execution of the Merger Agreement and the holding of the 180 Degree Capital shareholder vote on the transaction during which time other interested bidders may make unsolicited offers, it was reasonable to accept a no-shop provision in lieu of a go-shop provision that includes the ability of the 180 Degree Capital Board to, upon receipt of an unsolicited takeover proposal and a determination that proceeding with the potential merger between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the 180 Degree Capital Board, among other items, withdraw any recommendation to the shareholders of 180 Degree Capital to approve a potential merger between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan (the “Fiduciary Out”), and an expense reimbursement capped at $1,000,000 if such Fiduciary Out is exercised. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee also noted that it did not object to the automatic 30-business-day-extension of the Exclusivity Agreement with Mount Logan that was upcoming in light of the progress being made towards a potential transaction.

Regular updates relating to the status of the proposed merger between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, including drafts of transaction documents, were thereafter provided to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee prior to its next meeting on January 16, 2025.
119


On December 20, 2024, Mount Logan provided to 180 Degree Capital and Fenchurch an updated proposed fixed valuation of $67.4 million of Mount Logan that incorporated feedback from the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee following its meeting on December 19, 2024. This proposed fixed valuation is lower than the approximately $103 million in shareholder equity of Mount Logan as of March 31, 2025, and therefore 180 Degree Capital Shareholders are expected to own more of New Mount Logan than they would have if Mount Logan’s value in the transaction were based on shareholder equity rather than a fixed value.

Representatives from Fenchurch provided a review of Fenchurch’s financial analysis of the proposed merger between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and rendered an oral opinion, confirmed by delivery of a written opinion dated January 16, 2025, that, as of such date and based on and subject to the various assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations and qualifications on the review undertaken by Fenchurch as set forth in its opinion, the January Exchange Ratio was fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TURN Common Shares, other than Excluded Shares.

On January 27, 2025, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee held a meeting via videoconference at which all members of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee were present, along with representatives of Fenchurch and Katten, to discuss the SOR Merger Proposal. Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe and representatives of Proskauer were also present during portions of the meeting. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and other attendees discussed the SOR Merger Proposal at length, including its potential advantages and disadvantages, 180 Degree Capital’s obligations under the Merger Agreement and whether the SOR Merger Proposal constituted, or was reasonably likely to constitute, a TURN Superior Proposal. Following such discussion, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee met in executive session with Katten and Fenchurch to further discuss the SOR Merger Proposal. After considering the discussion and advice received, and after considering the various factors relevant to its determination regarding the SOR Merger Proposal, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee unanimously adopted resolutions (i) resolving that the SOR Merger Proposal did not constitute a TURN Superior Proposal and did not, at that time, otherwise satisfy the criteria set forth in Section 7.10(a) of the Merger Agreement, and (ii) reaffirming, and recommending that the 180 Degree Capital Board reaffirm, that it continues to support the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated thereby.

Subsequently, on July 4, 2025, Mount Logan shared a further revised version of the proposed Merger Agreement Amendment reflecting additional changes recommended by Canadian counsel for Mount Logan in connection with obtaining approval from Canadian regulators with respect to the proposed domestication of Mount Logan from Canada as part of the Business Combination. On July 6, 2025, the Merger Agreement Amendment was approved by unanimous written consent by each of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and the 180 Degree Capital Board, the Mount Logan Board and the New Mount Logan Board, and executed that day by each of 180 Degree Capital, Mount Logan, New Mount Logan, Polar Merger Sub and Moose Merger Sub.

Mount Logan’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the Mount Logan Board

During the course of its deliberations and in arriving at its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Mount Logan Board met formally and informally to review, consider and discuss (including with various combinations of members of senior management of Mount Logan, Mount Logan’s operating advisors and employees of BCPA, as well as Mount Logan’s legal and other advisors) numerous factors in connection with the transactions, including the Business Combination, including the ones described below. On January 16, 2025, the Mount Logan Board, including the independent directors of the Mount Logan Board, unanimously determined that the Business Combination is in the best interests of Mount Logan and Mount Logan’s shareholders, and recommended that the Mount Logan’s shareholders approve the MLC Domestication and the MLC Merger and such other matters required to be approved or adopted by the shareholders of Mount Logan in order to effect the Business Combination.

The Mount Logan Board, including the independent directors of the Mount Logan Board, weighed various benefits and risks in considering the proposed Business Combination, both with respect to the immediate effects on Mount Logan and its shareholders and with respect to the potential benefits that could be experienced by New Mount Logan after the consummation of the proposed Business Combination. Some of the material factors considered by the Mount Logan Board that assisted it in concluding that the proposed Business Combination is in the best interests of Mount Logan and its shareholders included, among others:

Nasdaq Listing and Potential for Increased Liquidity. New Mount Logan anticipates being a U.S.-domiciled, Nasdaq-listed operating company with two established business segments, asset management and insurance solutions. The MLC Common Shares are, and have been, thinly traded since being listed on Cboe Canada since October 2018 and the Business Combination provides MLC Shareholders with the opportunity to participate in an entity with a larger capitalization and a broader shareholder base with the potential for enhanced liquidity, which will create an enhanced ability to access capital markets and broader funding sources.

122

Larger Balance Sheet. New Mount Logan will have a larger balance sheet that is expected to allow New Mount Logan to scale through investment into other organic and inorganic growth opportunities across its asset management and insurance solutions businesses. For example, on an organic basis, New Mount Logan currently expects to use a portion of 180 Degree Capital’s cash and proceeds from the disposition of 180 Degree Capital’s investments to invest in its insurance solutions business, which the Mount Logan Board expected would generate a positive return on invested capital in the insurance solutions business through the additional generation of spread-related earnings and fee-related earnings over time. This increased revenue and cost synergies resulting from the Business Combination is expected to strengthen the independent balance sheet of New Mount Logan.

Leadership and Governance. At closing, Mount Logan’s current chief executive officer, Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe, is expected to serve as chairman and chief executive officer of New Mount Logan. New Mount Logan will have a seven-member board of directors, comprised of Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe as Chairman, four additional independent directors designated by Mount Logan, one independent director designated by 180 Degree Capital, and one independent director mutually agreed to by Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital.

Ownership of New Mount Logan. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of each of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital will receive an amount of newly issued shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock based on the ratio of Mount Logan’s transaction equity value at signing of $67.4 million, subject to certain pre-closing adjustments, relative to the net asset value of 180 Degree Capital at closing. Based on the estimated net asset value of 180 Degree Capital as of July 8, 2025, the estimated post-transaction shareholder ownership of New Mount Logan is expected to be approximately 60% for MLC Shareholders and 40% for 180 Degree Capital shareholders.

180 Degree Capital Investment Capabilities and Network of Relationships. 180 Degree Capital’s track record of investing in public markets and its deep network of relationships are expected to help fuel expansion of Mount Logan’s bespoke private credit solutions into publicly traded companies. New Mount Logan’s alternative asset management platform would retain Mount Logan’s fee generating $2.4 billion assets under management (as of September 30, 2024) and would have expanded sourcing opportunities in public markets supported by 180 Degree Capital’s capabilities and deep network of relationships.180 Degree Capital Investment Capabilities and Network of Relationships. 180 Degree Capital’s track record of investing in public markets and its deep network of relationships are expected to help fuel expansion of Mount Logan.

Expected Tax Treatment of the MLC Merger. The MLC Merger is anticipated to be treated as a tax-free exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes and Canadian federal income tax purposes and MLC Shareholders are not expected to recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes or Canadian federal income tax purposes as a result of the MLC Merger (subject to the qualifications set forth under “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers” and “The Mergers - Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences”).

Support by Directors, Officers and Shareholders. Directors, officers and shareholders of Mount Logan who collectively hold approximately 29% of the outstanding MLC Common Shares as of January 16, 2025, entered into Voting Agreements pursuant to which they have agreed to vote in favor of the MLC Merger and the MLC Domestication.

Ability to Respond to Superior Proposals. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Mount Logan Board is able to respond to any unsolicited bona fide written proposal that, having regard for all the terms and conditions of such proposal, is or is reasonably likely to lead to an MLC Superior Proposal.

Implied Breakeven Return on Equity. Due to the fixed cost nature of running a public company, the required return on equity to shareholders of Mount Logan in order for the Business Combination to be accretive to them is not significant, and therefore the Mount Logan Board expected the Business Combination to generate a positive return on equity to shareholders of Mount Logan.

Comparison to Similarly Contemplated Transactions. Mount Logan’s management team has spent several years evaluating transactions similar to the Business Combination and has been vigilant, patient and prudent in determining the best transaction for its shareholders. As part of its ongoing evaluation of Mount Logan’s business,
123

management had analyzed potential strategic transactions, however, in each such instance but one, management’s analysis never progressed beyond early stages, as a result of a combination of due diligence or valuation issues or an absence of strategic fit. These discussions with counterparties were preliminary and had not progressed to the point where there was an agreement as to price or any other material term. One potential strategic transaction was announced, but mutually abandoned when it was determined that certain required regulatory review processes would prevent the transaction from being executed on a timeline acceptable to both parties. Thus, the Mount Logan board of directors believed that those acquisition opportunities previously identified, as well as any that might be identified in the future, would not necessarily create the immediate enhancement in value for Mount Logan stockholders presented by the Business Combination.

Negotiated Transaction. The Merger Agreement is the result of an arm’s length negotiation process and includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the circumstances, and has been unanimously recommended by the Mount Logan Board, including the independent directors of the Mount Logan Board.

MLC Shareholders’ Approval. The required approvals of the shareholders of Mount Logan are protective of the rights of the shareholders of Mount Logan. The Arrangement Resolution must be approved by at least 66⅔% of the votes cast by the shareholders of Mount Logan present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the MLC Special Meeting. To be effective, the MLC Merger Resolution must be approved at the MLC Special Meeting by: (i) holders representing greater than 50% of all the issued and outstanding MLC Common Shares; and (ii) at least a majority of the votes cast on the MLC Merger Resolution by the Minority MLC Shareholders present or represented by proxy at the MLC Special Meeting and entitled to vote. MLC Shareholders should be aware that under Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA that will be effective concurrently with the MLC Domestication after the conversion of MLC Delaware from a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL to a limited liability company existing under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act until the Effective Time of the MLC Merger, no approval of the members of MLC Delaware will be required to approve the MLC Merger. Pursuant to the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA and the Plan of Domestication, effective concurrently with the MLC Domestication, the existing directors of Mount Logan will become the Initial Managers. Immediately thereafter, pursuant to the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA, all the Initial Managers, except for Mr. Goldthorpe, will cease being managers of MLC Delaware and, in accordance with Section 18-209(b) of the Delaware LLC Act, Mr. Goldthorpe will be empowered to provide all required approvals and authorizations necessary to effectuate the MLC Merger. Assuming all conditions in the Merger Agreement required for consummation of the MLC Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are satisfied or waived (including approval of the MLC Merger Resolution by the MLC Shareholders), Mr. Goldthorpe, as Manager of MLC Delaware, will cause MLC Delaware to effectuate the MLC Merger following the MLC Domestication (and, for greater clarity, after the conversion of MLC Delaware from a corporation existing under and governed by the DGCL to a limited liability company existing under and governed by the Delaware LLC Act). Notwithstanding the foregoing features of the Delaware LLC Act and the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA, Mount Logan will ask MLC Shareholders to approve at the MLC Special Meeting the MLC Merger as part of the Business Combination.

Dissent Rights. Registered. MLC Shareholders who do not vote in favor of the Arrangement Resolution will have the right under Canadian law to be paid the “fair value” of their MLC Common Shares pursuant to the proper exercise of their dissent rights.

Uncertain Ability of Mount Logan to Deliver Value to Shareholders of Mount Logan. Based on current and historical information on Mount Logan’s business, operations, assets, financial condition and operating results, the ability of Mount Logan to deliver near and long term value to shareholders of Mount Logan by remaining in its current form compared to the potential benefits of a Business Combination is uncertain.

Uncertain Ability to Raise Financing. If the Business Combination is not completed, Mount Logan will be required to obtain financing in order to meet its cash commitments and to continue to fund its business and business development efforts. There are no assurances that such financing will be available to Mount Logan on terms that are satisfactory to Mount Logan or at all having regard to the current state of the capital markets in Canada. If the Business Combination is not completed and Mount Logan is not able to secure sources of financing, Mount Logan
124

may be required to scale back its business and business development activities which could have a material adverse effect on Mount Logan’s business prospects.

Absence of Significant Regulatory Approvals. The fact that there are not expected to be any material regulatory approvals required in connection with the Business Combination, other than consent from the Nebraska Department of Insurance and other customary regulatory approvals.

Other Considerations. In addition, the Mount Logan Board considered that the Merger Agreement provides that 180 Degree Capital will be required to pay the costs and expenses of MLC, up to a cap of $1,000,000 in certain circumstances if the Merger Agreement is terminated.

U.S. Based Business. Mount Logan has strong connections to the United States, including (i)  a majority of Mount Logan’s directors and executive officers are composed of U.S. citizens or residents; (ii) a majority of Mount Logan’s assets are located in the United States; and (iii) Mount Logan’s business is administered principally in the United States, all of which will be the case for New Mount Logan upon completion of the Business Combination. The Business Combination will establish New Mount Logan as a U.S.-based company which is expected to enhance New Mount Logan’s ability to maximize opportunities and relationships with its current and future U.S. stakeholders and enable New Mount Logan to compete with its peers, most of which are U.S. based companies. Having the business of Mount Logan conducted by a corporation incorporated in the United States is expected to facilitate New Mount Logan’s ability to negotiate and complete mergers, acquisitions, business combinations and other transactions with United States domiciled companies. The shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock listed on Nasdaq are expected to be more accessible to U.S. institutional investors that are permitted to allocate only a portion of their funds for investment in securities of foreign corporations, which allows for more opportunities and capital that may be available to New Mount Logan that were not available to Mount Logan. In addition, by becoming subject solely to U.S. tax laws, New Mount Logan will eliminate many of the income tax complexities associated with incorporation of Mount Logan outside the United States, including in respect of transactions with other U.S. companies that could have adverse tax consequences if the business of Mount Logan were to continue to be conducted through a Canadian corporation.

When considering the information described above, including all of the anticipated effects of the proposed Business Combination on Mount Logan and its shareholders and the related information, the Mount Logan Board noted that information based on assumptions may be incorrect, is subject to change, and may fluctuate over time. The Mount Logan Board noted that there is no assurance that any of the potential benefits to Mount Logan or its shareholders as a result of the proposed Business Combination will be realized, including any anticipated synergies, and that New Mount Logan could experience detrimental effects that had not been anticipated.

In the course of its deliberations, the Mount Logan Board also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors, including (which are not in any relative order of importance):

there are risks to Mount Logan if the Business Combination is not completed, including the costs to Mount Logan in pursuing the Business Combination, the diversion of management’s attention away from conducting Mount Logan’s business in the ordinary course and the potential impact on Mount Logan’s current business relationships (including with current, future and prospective employees, clients and partners);
the completion of the Business Combination is subject to unanticipated factors or conditions that prevent such completion, and the rights of 180 Degree Capital to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances;
limitations contained in the Merger Agreement on Mount Logan’s ability to solicit additional interest from third parties, as well as the fact that if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, Mount Logan will be required to reimburse 180 Degree Capital for its costs and expenses in respect of the Business Combination, which may be a deterrent to other parties proposing an alternate transaction that may be more advantageous to MLC Shareholders;
125

in considering the recommendation of the Mount Logan Board to vote for the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger Resolution, MLC Shareholders should be aware that certain directors of Mount Logan have certain interests in connection with the Business Combination that may present them with actual or potential conflicts of interest in connection with the Business Combination. See the section titled “Interests of Mount Logan Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers”;
each of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital has the right to terminate the Merger Agreement in certain circumstances. Accordingly, there is no certainty, nor can Mount Logan provide any assurance, that the Merger Agreement will not be terminated by any of Mount Logan or 180 Degree Capital before the completion of the Business Combination. For example, 180 Degree Capital has the right, in certain circumstances, to terminate the Merger Agreement if changes occur that have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Merger Agreement) on or after the date of the Merger Agreement. Although a Material Adverse Effect excludes certain events that are beyond the control of Mount Logan, Mount Logan cannot provide any assurance that a change having a Material Adverse Effect will not occur before the Effective Time, in which case 180 Degree Capital could elect to terminate the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination would not proceed;
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Mount Logan must obtain the MLC requisite vote, and pursuant to the Interim Order and MI 61-101, as the MLC Merger will constitute a “business combination,” the MLC Merger Resolution must also be approved by at least a majority of the votes cast on the MLC Merger Resolution by the Minority MLC Shareholders present or represented by proxy at the MLC Special Meeting and entitled to vote;
pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Mount Logan has agreed to certain interim operating covenants intended to ensure that Mount Logan and its subsidiaries carry on business in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, except as required or expressly authorized by the Merger Agreement. These operating covenants cover a broad range of activities and business practices. Consequently, it is possible that a business opportunity will arise that is out of the ordinary course or is not consistent with past practices, and that Mount Logan will not be able to pursue or undertake the opportunity due to its covenants in the Merger Agreement; and
certain costs related to the Business Combination, such as legal, accounting and certain financial advisor fees, must be paid by Mount Logan even if the Business Combination is not completed.

This discussion of the information and factors that the Mount Logan Board considered in making its decision is not intended to be exhaustive, but includes the material factors considered by the Mount Logan Board. Because of the wide variety of factors considered in connection with its evaluation of the proposed Business Combination and Merger Agreement and the complexity of those matters, Mount Logan’s Board did not find it useful to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative weights to these factors. In addition, the individual members of the Mount Logan Board may have given different weights to different factors.

The Mount Logan Board, including the independent directors of the Mount Logan Board, considered all of these factors and others as a whole and, on balance, determined the proposed Business Combination to be in the best interests of Mount Logan and Mount Logan’s shareholders and unanimously approved the proposed Business Combination and the Merger Agreement.

In subsequently approving the Merger Agreement Amendment, the Mount Logan Board generally considered the fact that the nature of the changes to the Merger Agreement was primarily technical in nature and did not materially alter either the Business Combination or the consideration to be received under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the above factors continued to apply to the Merger Agreement, as amended by the Merger Agreement Amendment.

180 Degree Capital’s Reasons for the Mergers and Recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Board

The 180 Degree Capital Board has unanimously determined that the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the TURN Merger and the issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common
126

Stock in connection with the Mergers, are advisable, fair to, and in the best interests of, 180 Degree Capital and its shareholders. Accordingly, the 180 Degree Capital Board, upon recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, has unanimously approved, adopted and declared advisable the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the TURN Merger and the issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock in connection with the Mergers, and the 2025 Plan. It is expected that the New Mount Logan Board will approve and ratify the plan post-Closing before any grants or issuances are made thereunder. The 180 Degree Capital Board unanimously recommends that 180 Degree Capital shareholders vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal, “FOR” the TURN 1940 Act Deregistration Proposal, “FOR” the New Mount Logan Equity Incentive Plan Proposal, and “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

The 180 Degree Capital Board consulted with and received the advice of 180 Degree Capital’s outside legal and financial advisors, held discussions with 180 Degree Capital’s management and considered a number of factors that the 180 Degree Capital Board believed supported its decision to enter into the Merger Agreement and to recommend its approval by the 180 Degree Capital shareholders, including the unanimous recommendation of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee. The 180 Degree Capital Board came to this decision following a comprehensive review of 180 Degree Capital’s strategic opportunities to increase shareholder value. In evaluating the Mergers and the terms of the Merger Agreement, the 180 Degree Capital Board and the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee reviewed comparative information about 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan. The 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and the 180 Degree Capital Board also considered the anticipated reasonable expectations of 180 Degree Capital shareholders, market dynamics and regulatory and legal issues. In addition, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and the 180 Degree Capital Board reviewed comprehensive information regarding the anticipated benefits and possible risks to New Mount Logan and New Mount Logan shareholders as a result of the Mergers.

Some of the material factors considered by the 180 Degree Capital Board included, but were not limited to, the following:

New Mount Logan is expected to benefit from: 1) increased access to additional capital through the Mount Logan platform of approximately $2.3 billion in assets under management (as of the time of the 180 Degree Capital Board’s review), 2) access to investment opportunities sourced by Mount Logan, BCPA and the BCPA Credit Affiliates, 3) a strengthened balance sheet, which will enable accelerated investment into an actionable pipeline of M&A opportunities and organic initiatives to scale business, and 4) increased analyst coverage as a result of its listing on a U.S. exchange;
Meaningful scaling and further diversification of business, as well as increased liquidity of public equity;
Accelerated expansion of sourcing investments in the public markets through existing 180 Degree Capital relationships that expand substantially when coupled with the substantial capital base of Mount Logan and its investment partners owing to the ability to address capital structure solutions and other opportunities that would otherwise be too large for 180 Degree Capital to participate in as a stand-alone entity;
Management’s belief that Mount Logan’s business model is highly complementary to 180 Degree Capital’s business model of investing in and working with small, publicly traded companies to unlock value through constructive activism. 180 Degree Capital has historically participated in recapitalization financings through investment in common stock. 180 Degree Capital has also had opportunities in the past to invest in non-equity securities and/or lead large recapitalizations that were beyond the capital resources of the company at the time. Mount Logan’s business of providing credit solutions is a natural extension of 180 Degree Capital’s investment approach and could enable the combined company to identify and invest in opportunities that would otherwise not be available as stand-alone entities;
New Mount Logan’s infrastructure is expected to be supported by BCPA through a servicing support agreement, which provides administrative services that leverage BCPA’s capabilities, strength, resources and scale as a global private credit firm;
127

An attractive valuation relative to industry comparables, which is expected to provide substantial upside value creation opportunities for shareholders;
The expectation that the Mergers will result in a compelling business model built on predictable earnings growth supported by durable fee and spread related earnings;
The opinion of Fenchurch, the financial advisor to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, as more fully described in the section entitled “The Mergers—Opinion of 180 Degree Capital’s Financial Advisor”;
That the TURN Merger is expected to qualify as a tax-free exchange for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
The Merger Agreement is the result of an arm's length negotiation process and includes terms and conditions that are reasonable in the circumstances, and has been unanimously recommended by the 180 Degree Capital Board, including the independent directors of the 180 Degree Capital Board;
The absence of an adverse impact on New Mount Logan’s regulatory obligations; and
The Mergers are subject to the approval of the shareholders of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan.

In the course of its deliberations, the 180 Degree Capital Board also considered a variety of risks and other potentially negative factors, including (which are not in any relative order of importance):

the possibility that the Business Combination might not be consummated and the effect of the public announcement and pendency of the Business Combination and 180 Degree Capital’s performance of its obligations under the Merger Agreement on (i) 180 Degree Capital’s business, operations and financial performance and (ii) the market price of the TURN Common Shares;
180 Degree Capital’s limited remedies in the event of the termination of the Merger Agreement, including the fact that any reimbursement by Mount Logan for fees and expenses incurred by 180 Degree Capital in connection with the negotiation, preparation and performance of the Merger Agreement is limited to $1,000,000;
the potential reimbursement by 180 Degree Capital of up to $1,000,000 in connection with fees and expenses incurred by Mount Logan in connection with the negotiation, preparation and performance of Merger Agreement in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain situations;
disruptions to 180 Degree Capital’s business;
interests that 180 Degree Capital’s directors and executive officers may have with respect to the TURN Merger, in addition to their interests as shareholders generally; and
restrictions on the conduct of 180 Degree Capital’s business prior to the completion of the TURN Merger;

The 180 Degree Capital Board acknowledged that there can be no assurance about future results, including results considered or expected as disclosed in the foregoing reasons. The foregoing discussion of the information and factors that the 180 Degree Capital Board considered is not intended to be exhaustive but is meant to include the material factors regarding the Mergers that the 180 Degree Capital Board considered, which are not necessarily presented in order of relative importance. In light of the complexity and wide variety of factors that the 180 Degree Capital Board considered, the 180 Degree Capital Board did not find it practical to, and did not attempt to, quantify, rank or otherwise assign relative or specific weights or values to any of the factors considered and did not undertake to make any specific determinations as to whether any particular factor, or any aspect of any particular factor, was favorable or unfavorable to the ultimate determination of the 180 Degree Capital Board. Rather, the 180 Degree Capital Board made its recommendation based on the totality of the information available to the 180 Degree Capital Board. In addition, individual members of the 180 Degree Capital Board may have given different weights to different factors.

128

In subsequently approving the Merger Agreement Amendment, the 180 Degree Capital Board generally considered the fact that the nature of the changes to the Merger Agreement was primarily technical in nature and did not materially alter either the Business Combination or the consideration to be received under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, the above factors continued to apply to the Merger Agreement, as amended by the Merger Agreement Amendment.

The foregoing description of the 180 Degree Capital Board’s consideration of the factors supporting the Mergers is forward-looking in nature. This information should be read in light of the factors discussed in the section entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”
Opinion of 180 Degree Capital’s Financial Advisor
Pursuant to an engagement letter, dated October 11, 2024, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee retained Fenchurch as its financial advisor in connection with the Transaction and to deliver a fairness opinion in connection with the Transaction.
In connection with Fenchurch’s opinion, the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee directed Fenchurch to base its analyses and its opinion on (i) financial information, dated as of January 10, 2025, regarding the net asset value of 180 Degree Capital (which value was approximately $45,157,000) (the “180 Degree Capital January Net Asset Value”), (ii) the MLC NAV, (iii) an adjustment to the 180 Degree Capital January Net Asset Value based on estimated Transaction expenses of approximately $2,515,000 and (iv) the number of issued and outstanding shares, as of January 10, 2025, of TURN Common Shares (which number was 10,000,141) (such information described in foregoing clauses (i)-(iv), the “January Exchange Ratio Information”). If these were the adjusted net asset values and shares issued and outstanding as of the Determination Date, each TURN Common Share entitled to be converted into the right to receive shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock, would be converted into 0.5037 shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock (the “January Exchange Ratio”).
At a meeting of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee on January 16, 2025, Fenchurch rendered to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee its oral opinion, and confirmed its oral opinion by delivering to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee its written opinion, dated January 16, 2025, to the effect that, as of the date of such opinion and based upon and subject to the various assumptions, limitations, qualifications and other matters set forth therein, the January Exchange Ratio is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TURN Common Shares, other than the Excluded Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Fenchurch did not express any opinion as to the TURN Exchange Ratio.
The full text of the written opinion of Fenchurch, dated January 16, 2025, which sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the review undertaken, is attached as Annex B to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and is incorporated herein by reference. The summary of Fenchurch’s opinion set forth in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such opinion. 180 Degree Capital shareholders are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. Fenchurch’s written opinion was addressed to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee (in their capacity as such) in connection with and for the purposes of their evaluation of the proposed Transaction, was directed only to the January Exchange Ratio and did not address any other aspect of the Transaction. Fenchurch’s opinion did not constitute a recommendation to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee in connection with the Transaction, and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder of 180 Degree Capital or of any other entity as to how such stockholder should vote with respect to the Transaction or any other matter.

In arriving at its opinion, Fenchurch, among other things:
reviewed the Agreement;
reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information concerning 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan and the industries in which they operate;
129

compared the financial and operating performance of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan with publicly available information concerning certain other companies Fenchurch deemed relevant and reviewed the current and historical market prices of TURN Common Shares and MLC Common Shares and certain publicly traded securities of such other companies;
reviewed intra-quarter internally prepared and maintained holding reports, cash and estimates of liabilities of 180 Degree Capital;
reviewed certain internally prepared financial analyses relating to Mount Logan fiscal years 2024 through 2029 that were prepared by management of Mount Logan and approved for Fenchurch’s use by the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee (collectively, the “MLC Projections”); and
performed such other financial studies and analyses and considered such other information as Fenchurch deemed appropriate for the purposes of its opinion.
In addition, Fenchurch held discussions with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, 180 Degree Capital’s management, Mount Logan’s management and representatives of BCPA with respect to certain aspects of the Transaction, and the past and current business operations of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, the financial condition and future prospects and operations of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, the effects of the Transaction on the financial condition and future prospects of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, and certain other matters Fenchurch believed necessary or appropriate to its inquiry.
In giving its opinion, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, Fenchurch relied upon and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information that was publicly available or was furnished to or discussed with Fenchurch or otherwise reviewed by or for Fenchurch. Fenchurch also, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, based its analyses with respect to Mount Logan solely on Mount Logan’s asset management business, and did not attribute, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, any value to the spread-related earnings of Mount Logan’s insurance business. Fenchurch did not independently verify any such information or its accuracy or completeness and, pursuant to its engagement letter, dated as of October 11, 2024, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, Fenchurch is not in any respect responsible for the accuracy or completeness of, and did not undertake any obligation or responsibility to independently verify, such information, nor has Fenchurch been furnished with any such verification. Fenchurch did not conduct, and was not provided with, any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan (other than the January Exchange Ratio Information) or the investment portfolio of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, nor did Fenchurch evaluate the solvency of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan under any state or federal laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters. In relying on financial analyses and forecasts provided to Fenchurch (including the MLC Projections), Fenchurch assumed, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, that they have been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments by 180 Degree Capital’s management (in the case of any analyses and forecasts provided to Fenchurch by 180 Degree Capital’s management) and Mount Logan’s management (in the case of the MLC Projections and any other analyses and forecasts provided to Fenchurch by Mount Logan’s management) to the expected future results of operations and financial condition of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan, respectively. Fenchurch did not express any view as to such analyses or forecasts (including the MLC Projections), or the assumptions on which they were based. Fenchurch also assumed, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, that the Transaction and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement will qualify as an exchange described in Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for United States federal income tax purposes, and will be consummated as described in the Agreement. Fenchurch also assumed, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, that the representations and warranties made by 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan in the Agreement are and will be true and correct in all respects material to its analysis. Fenchurch is not a legal, regulatory, accounting, actuarial or tax expert and did not undertake any obligation or responsibility to conduct any assessment with respect to such issues. Fenchurch further assumed, with the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee’s consent, that all material governmental, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the consummation of the Transaction will be obtained without any adverse effect on 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan or on the contemplated benefits of the Transaction.
130

Fenchurch’s opinion is necessarily based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to Fenchurch as of, the date of such opinion. It should be understood that subsequent developments may affect its opinion and that Fenchurch does not have any obligation to update, revise, or reaffirm its opinion. Fenchurch’s opinion is limited to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the holders of TURN Common Shares, other than Excluded Shares (as defined in the Agreement), of the January Exchange Ratio, and Fenchurch expressed no opinion as to the fairness of the January Exchange Ratio to any other holders of TURN Common Shares or as to the fairness of any consideration to be paid in connection with the Transaction to the holders of any other class of securities, creditors or other constituencies of 180 Degree Capital or as to the underlying decision by 180 Degree Capital to engage in the Transaction. Furthermore, Fenchurch expressed no opinion with respect to the amount or nature of any compensation to any officers, directors, or employees of any party to the Transaction, or any class of such persons relative to the January Exchange Ratio or with respect to the fairness of any such compensation. Fenchurch expressed no opinion as to the net asset value of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, as to the price at which TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares will trade at any future time or as to the impacts of the MLC Domestication on the financial condition of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan. Additionally, Fenchurch expressed no opinion as to any other transactions undertaken in connection with the Transaction, or any other agreement, arrangement or understanding contemplated by the Transaction, any related transactions or otherwise, or any terms, aspects or implications of such transactions, agreements, arrangements or understandings.
The decision to enter into the Agreement was solely that of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and Fenchurch’s opinion and financial analysis were only one of the many factors considered by the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee in its evaluation of the Transaction and should not be viewed as determinative of the views of the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee with respect to the Transaction or the January Exchange Ratio.
In accordance with customary investment banking practice, Fenchurch employed generally accepted valuation methodologies in rendering its opinion to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee on January 16, 2025 and contained in the presentation delivered to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee on such date in connection with the rendering of such opinion. The following is a summary of the material financial analyses utilized by Fenchurch in connection with rendering its opinion to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee and does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by Fenchurch. Some of the summaries of the financial analyses include information presented in tabular format. The tables are not intended to stand alone, and in order to more fully understand the financial analyses used by Fenchurch, the tables must be read together with the full text of each summary. Considering the data set forth below without considering the full narrative description of the financial analyses, including the methodologies and assumptions underlying the analyses, could create a misleading or incomplete view of Fenchurch’s analyses.
180 Degree Capital Analysis
Net Asset Value Analysis. Using publicly available information, market data as of January 10, 2025 and the January Exchange Ratio Information, Fenchurch calculated and analyzed (i) 180 Degree Capital’s per share market price as of January 10, 2025 as a multiple of 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value per share (“P/NAV”), which resulted in a P/NAV multiple of 0.85x, and (ii) 180 Degree Capital’s P/NAV multiple for the five year period ended January 10, 2025, which resulted in an average P/NAV multiple of 0.72x during such period. Fenchurch then compared these P/NAV multiples to the P/NAV multiple of 1.00x implied by the January Exchange Ratio.

Selected Transactions Analysis. Fenchurch considered certain financial terms of certain merger transactions occurring in the last two years that involved a closed-end fund and exercised professional judgment and experience when considering the relevance and comparability. While these transactions were used to analyze transaction multiples of closed-end fund mergers, the transactions involved two closed-end funds, whereas the proposed transaction anticipates a merger between a closed-end fund and operating company. The transactions selected by Fenchurch are set forth in the table below. For each selected transaction, Fenchurch calculated and analyzed the P/NAV multiple of the combined company implied by the transaction value, in each case, based on publicly available financial information.The following presents the results of this analysis:

No company used in these analyses is identical or directly comparable to 180 Degree Capital. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of these analyses necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial, operating, and business sector characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies involved.
Other Information. For reference only and not as a component of its fairness analysis, Fenchurch reviewed the share price performance for the five year period ended January 10, 2025 for each of the S&P 500 Index, Russell 1000 Index, SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF and S&P/TSX Composite Index (rebased to 100), and compared such performance to the historical performance of 180 Degree Capital’s share price during such period (rebased to 100).
Mount Logan Analysis

Public Company Analysis. Fenchurch reviewed and compared specific financial, operating and public trading data relating to Mount Logan Capital with similar information for selected publicly-traded companies in the asset management industry. The selected comparable companies (the “Mount Logan Capital Peers”) were Apollo Global Management, Inc., Ares Management Corporation, Blackstone Inc., Blue Owl Capital Inc., Brookfield Corporation, Carlyle Group Inc., GCM Grosvenor Inc., Hamilton Lane Inc., KKR & Co Inc., Stepstone Group Inc. and TPG Inc. Although none of the Mount Logan Capital Peers are directly comparable to Mount Logan Capital, the Mount Logan Capital Peers included were selected by Fenchurch in the exercise of its professional judgment and experience because they are publicly traded companies in the asset management industry with operations that, for purposes of its analysis, may be considered similar to certain operations of Mount Logan Capital. A select number of publicly traded companies in the asset management industry were excluded for a variety of reasons, including, but not limited to, business / product mix and lack of exposure to alternative credit. Fenchurch reviewed and compared such data in order to assess how the public market values shares of similar publicly traded companies and to provide a range of relative implied equity values for Mount Logan on a standalone basis, in each case by reference to these Mount Logan Peers.
    Trading Comparables
132

Using publicly available information and market data as of January 10, 2025, Fenchurch calculated each Mount Logan Peer’s per share market price as a multiple of its estimated distributable earnings per share for each of the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 (“P / 2025E Distributable Earnings”) and the calendar year ended December 31, 2026 (“P / 2026E Distributable Earnings”). The results of this selected comparable company analysis are summarized below:
LowHighMean
P / 2025E Distributable Earnings11.5x31.4x24.1x
P/ 2026E Distributable Earnings10.6x26.7x20.7x
Accordingly, Fenchurch selected in its professional judgment (i) a P / 2025E Distributable Earnings multiple range of 11.5x to 16.5x and applied such range to Mount Logan’s adjusted distributable earnings, which Fenchurch calculated based on the MLC Projections after giving effect to certain adjustments to the extent appropriate in Fenchurch’s professional judgment (“Adjusted Distributable Earnings”), for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025, and (ii) a P / 2026E Distributable Earnings multiple range of 10.5x to 15.5x and applied such range to Mount Logan’s Adjusted Distributable Earnings for the calendar year ended December 31, 2026. Using these reference ranges, Fenchurch calculated, (x) in respect of the calculations described in foregoing clause (i), an illustrative range of implied equity value of Mount Logan of approximately $62 million to $89 million and (y) in respect of the calculations described in foregoing clause (ii), an illustrative range of implied equity value of Mount Logan of approximately $82 million to $121 million. Fenchurch then compared the exchange ratio implied by the midpoint of each range to the January Exchange Ratio.
Sum-of-the-Parts
Using publicly available information, Fenchurch calculated each Mount Logan Peer’s (other than GCM Grosvenor Inc. and Stepstone Group Inc., each of which was not included in the applicable analyst research reports that Fenchurch used to perform such calculations) per share market price as a multiple of its estimated fee-related earnings per share for each of the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 (“P / 2025E Fee-Related Earnings”) and the calendar year ended December 31, 2026 (“P / 2026E Fee-Related Earnings”). The results of this selected comparable company analysis are summarized below:

Accordingly, Fenchurch selected in its professional judgment (i) a P / 2025E Fee-Related Earnings multiple range of 13.5x to 18.5x and applied such range to Mount Logan’s Adjusted Distributable Earnings (including incentive-related earnings that are payable within one year and not subject to clawback) for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 and (ii) a P / 2026E Fee-Related Earnings multiple range of 12.5x to 17.5x and applied such range to Mount Logan’s Adjusted Distributable Earnings (including incentive-related earnings that are payable within one year and not subject to clawback) for the calendar year ended December 31, 2026. Using these reference ranges, Fenchurch calculated, (x) in respect of the calculations described in foregoing clause (i), an illustrative range of implied equity value of Mount Logan of approximately $73 million to $100 million and (y) in respect of the calculations described in foregoing clause (ii), an illustrative range of implied equity value of Mount Logan of approximately $98 million to $137 million. Fenchurch then compared the exchange ratio implied by the midpoint of each range to the January Exchange Ratio.
No company used in these analyses is identical or directly comparable to Mount Logan. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of these analyses necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial, operating, and business sector characteristics, and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies to which Mount Logan is compared.

Selected Transactions Analysis. Fenchurch considered certain financial terms of certain merger transactions involving companies that operated in the asset management industry. Fenchurch selected these
133

transactions in the exercise of its professional judgment and experience because Fenchurch deemed them to be sufficiently similar to the Transaction in size, scope and impact on the industry. The transactions selected by Fenchurch are set forth in the table below:

For each precedent transaction, Fenchurch reviewed the total enterprise value (calculated as the equity value based on fully diluted shares outstanding, plus debt and debt-like-items, and less cash and cash equivalents, after giving effect to certain adjustments, to the extent appropriate in Fenchurch’s professional judgment) of the target company in the transaction based upon the consideration payable in the transaction (including earnout payments to the extent applicable) as a multiple of the target company’s estimated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), to the extent such information was available (“EV / EBITDA”). All of these calculations were performed and based on publicly available financial data at the time of announcement of the relevant transaction. The following summarizes the result of these calculations:
 
Low
High
Mean
EV/ EBITDA
14.4x
35.5x

Accordingly, Fenchurch selected in its professional judgment an EV / EBITDA multiple range of 11.0x to 16.0x and applied such range to Mount Logan’s estimated EBITDA for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2025 implied by the MLC Projections. Using these reference ranges, after adjusting by subtracting $63.3 million of net debt (based on balance sheet data as of September 30, 2024), Fenchurch calculated an illustrative range of implied equity value of Mount Logan of approximately $76 million to $139 million. Fenchurch then compared the exchange ratio implied by the midpoint of such range to the January Exchange Ratio.
No company used in these analyses is identical or directly comparable to Mount Logan. Accordingly, an evaluation of the results of these analyses necessarily involves complex considerations and judgments concerning differences in financial, operating, and business sector characteristics and other factors that could affect the public trading or other values of the companies involved.
Discounted Cash Flow. In order to estimate the equity value of Mount Logan, Fenchurch performed a discounted cash flow analysis of Mount Logan. A discounted cash flow analysis is a traditional valuation methodology used to derive a valuation of an asset by calculating the “present value” of estimated future cash flows generated by the asset. “Present value” refers to the current value of future cash flows or amounts and is obtained by discounting those future cash flows or amounts by a discount factor that takes into account macroeconomic assumptions and estimates of risk, the opportunity cost of capital, expected returns and other appropriate factors.
To calculate the estimated enterprise value of Mount Logan using the discounted cash flow method, Fenchurch added (i) Mount Logan’s projected after-tax unlevered free cash flows for the period from January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2029 based on the MLC Projections to (ii) ranges of “terminal values” of Mount Logan as of December 31, 2029, and discounted such amounts to their present value as of January 1, 2025 using a range of selected discount factors.
134

The after-tax unlevered free cash flows were calculated by taking the tax-affected fee-related earnings of Mount Logan and subtracting corporate overhead, in each case, as set forth in the MLC Projections. The residual value of Mount Logan at the end of the projection period, or “terminal value,” was estimated by applying a perpetuity growth rate of 2% to Mount Logan’s estimated unlevered free cash flow. The unlevered free cash flows and terminal values were then discounted to present value as of January 1, 2025 using discount factors ranging from 0.58 to 0.94 for the unlevered free cash flows and a discount factor of 0.54 for the terminal value, which were selected based on Fenchurch’s analysis of the weighted average cost of capital of Mount Logan.
Based on its analysis, after adjusting by subtracting $63.3 million of net debt (based on balance sheet data as of September 30, 2024), Fenchurch calculated an illustrative implied equity value of Mount Logan of $104.5 million. Fenchurch then compared the exchange ratio implied by such value to the January Exchange Ratio.
Other Information. For reference only and not as a component of its fairness analysis, Fenchurch (i) calculated (1) Mount Logan’s per share market price as of January 10, 2025 as a multiple of Mount Logan’s Adjusted Distributable Earnings for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 and (2) the price per MLC Common Share implied by the January Exchange Ratio as a multiple of Mount Logan’s Adjusted Distributable Earnings for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025, which resulted in multiples of 8.6x and 12.5x, respectively, and (ii) reviewed Mount Logan’s share price performance for the five year period ended January 10, 2025 for each of the S&P 500 Index, Russel 1000 Index, SPDR Portfolio S&P 600 Small Cap ETF and S&P/TSX Composite Index (rebased to 100), and compared such performance to the historical performance of Mount Logan’s share price during such period (rebased to 100).
Miscellaneous
The foregoing summary of certain material financial analyses does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses or data presented by Fenchurch. The preparation of a fairness opinion is a complex process and is not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Fenchurch believes that the foregoing summary and its analyses must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of the foregoing summary and these analyses, without considering all of its analyses as a whole, could create an incomplete view of the processes underlying the analyses and its opinion. As a result, the ranges of valuations resulting from any particular analysis or combination of analyses described above were merely utilized to create points of reference for analytical purposes and should not be taken to be the view of Fenchurch with respect to the actual value of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan. The order of analyses described does not represent the relative importance or weight given to those analyses by Fenchurch. In arriving at its opinion, Fenchurch did not attribute any particular weight to any analyses or factors considered by it and did not form an opinion as to whether any individual analysis or factor (positive or negative), considered in isolation, supported or failed to support its opinion. Rather, Fenchurch considered the totality of the factors and analyses performed in determining its opinion.
Analyses based upon forecasts of future results are inherently uncertain, as they are subject to numerous factors or events beyond the control of the Parties and their advisors. Accordingly, forecasts and analyses used or made by Fenchurch are not necessarily indicative of actual future results, which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by those analyses. Moreover, Fenchurch’s analyses are not and do not purport to be appraisals or otherwise reflective of the prices at which businesses actually could be acquired or sold.
As a part of its investment banking business, Fenchurch and its affiliates are continually engaged in the valuation of businesses and their securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, investments for passive and control purposes, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of listed and unlisted securities, private placements, and valuations for corporate and other purposes. Fenchurch was selected to advise the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee with respect to the Transaction and deliver an opinion to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee with respect to the Transaction on the basis of, among other things, such experience and its qualifications and reputation in connection with such matters and its familiarity with 180 Degree Capital, Mount Logan and the industries in which they operate. For services rendered in connection with the Transaction (including the delivery of Fenchurch’s opinion), Fenchurch will receive a fee from 180 Degree Capital of $1.5 million, of which $500,000 became payable to Fenchurch upon delivery of its opinion (of which $250,000 is creditable towards any fees payable
135

upon the consummation of the Transaction), and the balance of which will become payable only if the Transaction is consummated. In addition, 180 Degree Capital agreed to indemnify Fenchurch for certain liabilities arising out of its engagement.
Fenchurch is an independently-managed affiliate of a multinational banking group. During the two years preceding the date of its opinion, the commercial banking division of such group has provided project financing to affiliates of BC Partners for which it has received fees totaling approximately $2,653,000 during such period and may receive additional fees in the future. Except with respect to the Transaction, Fenchurch did not advise, or receive fees from, 180 Degree Capital during this period.

Important Assumptions, Exclusions and Limitations of the MLC Projections
The MLC Projections for Asset management revenue for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 are higher than the audited GAAP revenue for the same period primarily due to the inclusion of approximately $5.6 million in management fees from Ability Insurance Company, which eliminate upon consolidation. Additionally, the projections include management fees from Sierra Crest Investment Management’s advisory relationship with Portman Ridge Finance Corporation, whereas, in the audited financial statements, Portman Ridge Finance Corporation economics are reflected as part of the equity investment earnings line item of the statement of financial position, while the cash fee impact is reflected in the statement of cash flows. Furthermore, management fees related to the Alternative Credit Income Fund are recorded as servicing revenues or expenses under GAAP rather than gross asset management revenue, due to the specific fee structure under the applicable management contract, and during the year ended December 31, 2024 these economics were reflected as an expense. Given these substantial differences in accounting methodology and treatment, and preparation of the MLC projections, actual audited GAAP results may vary from the MLC Projections for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The MLC Projections exclude (i) Mount Logan’s book value as of December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025, of approximately $100 million and (ii) consideration with respect to the spread‑related earnings of $13.7 million that historically have accrued to Mount Logan’s benefit. Had such items been included, the MLC Projections—and any valuation metrics derived therefrom—would differ materially. In addition, the MLC Projections were prepared on the basis that the underlying investment funds managed or advised by Mount Logan will perform in line with historical averages. Material changes in the actual performance, positive or negative, by these funds could cause the resulting financial performance of Mount Logan to be materially different from that reflected in the MLC Projections.
136


The MLC Projections are forward‑looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian Securities Laws. They are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied. See “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward‑Looking Statements.

Mount Logan, as a matter of course, does not make public long-term projections relating to financial matters or other results due to, among other reasons, the inherent uncertainty of the underlying assumptions and estimates. However, Mount Logan provided the MLC Projections, which consisted of certain unaudited forecasted financial analyses, to Fenchurch in connection with its evaluation of the proposed Business Combination solely for purposes of Fenchurch providing financial advice to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee. The MLC Projections were prepared for internal use and not with a view to public disclosure. Mount Logan specifically disclaims any undertaking to update or revise the MLC Projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The MLC Projections, any related summary of the MLC Projections, and any related information are not being provided to influence the decision of 180 Degree Capital Shareholders or MLC Shareholders to vote for the respective Business Combination Proposal being presented to them. The MLC Projections were not prepared with a view to compliance with U.S. GAAP, published guidelines of the SEC or any other published standards or guidelines. The MLC Projections are not fact and reflect numerous assumptions and estimates, all of which are difficult to predict. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the MLC Projections or any other prospective financial information will be realized, and actual results could vary significantly.

Voting Agreements

Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital entered into Voting Agreements with stockholders holding approximately 23% of the MLC Common Shares and approximately 20% of the TURN Common Shares. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each stockholder agreed to (1) attend each shareholders’ meeting concerning proposals related to the Mergers, the Merger Agreement, the TURN Matters or MLC Matters (as applicable), any Takeover Proposal, or any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (2) vote or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares owned at any time by such shareholder (a) in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and any other transactions or matters expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (b) against any action or proposal in favor of a Takeover Proposal, without regard to the terms of such Takeover Proposal, (c) against any other action, agreement or transaction that is intended, or that would or would reasonably be expected, to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Mergers or any of the other transactions expressly contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the performance by the shareholder of his, her or its obligations under the Voting Agreement, (d) against any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would or would reasonably be expected to result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Mount Logan or 180 Degree Capital (as applicable) contained in the Merger Agreement, or of the shareholder contained in the Voting Agreement, and (e) in favor of any other matter necessary to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the Mergers. In addition, during the term of the Voting Agreement, each signatory irrevocably granted to, and appointed, 180 Degree Capital, Mount Logan and any designee of 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, as such signatory’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, for and in such signatory’s name, to vote, or cause to be voted (including by proxy or written consent, if applicable) all of the stock owned by such signatory in accordance with the Voting Agreement.
In addition, in the Voting Agreement, each signatory agreed not to (a) solicit any proposal against the Merger Agreement, the Mergers, or any Takeover Proposal, (b) initiate a vote with respect to any Takeover Proposal, or (c) vote any of his, her or its stock in favor of any Takeover Proposal.
The form of Mount Logan Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Annex C and the form of 180 Degree Capital Voting Agreement is attached hereto as Annex D.

Regulatory Approvals and Related Matters

The obligations of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital to consummate the Mergers are subject to, among other conditions, (i) the consent of the OSC in respect of the MLC Continuance pursuant to the OBCA, (ii) the authorization of the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery for Mount Logan to continue out of Ontario to another jurisdiction, (iii) the consent of Cboe Canada in respect of the Business Combination, (iv) if required, the non-objection or approval of the Canadian securities regulators of the jurisdictions in which Crown is a registered firm (as defined in National Instrument 31-103 – Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations) pursuant to Section 11.10 of National Instrument 31-103 – Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations, (v) either (a) consent from the Nebraska Department of Insurance in respect of the Business Combination or (b) written confirmation from the Nebraska Department of Insurance that consent from the Nebraska Department of Insurance is not required in respect of the Business Combination, (vi) the filing with the SEC of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus in definitive form relating to the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting and the MLC Special Meeting to be held in connection with the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination and of a registration statement on Form S-4 in which this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus is included as a prospectus, and declaration of effectiveness of the registration statement by the SEC, and (vii) approval of listing of such New Mount Logan Common Stock on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance.
Except as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement, the Parties have agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with each other to do all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law to consummate the Mergers, including obtaining applicable consents, waivers or approvals of any third parties, including any Governmental Entities.
As of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, (i) an application has been filed with the OSC in respect of the MLC Continuance and is under review, and a consent, if granted, will be granted only after the MLC Special Meeting and after a Final Order is obtained from the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) approving the Arrangement; (ii) after such consent from the OSC is obtained, an application will be made to the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery seeking authorization for Mount Logan’s continuance out of Ontario to the state of Delaware; (iii) Mount Logan has provided, and will continue to provide, Cboe Canada with all requested documentation in connection with the Business Combination and its consent thereto; (iv) Mount Logan has been advised by Crown that a no objection letter was received by Crown on April 1, 2025; and (v) Mount Logan is in active communication with the Nebraska Department of Insurance regarding the Business Combination in order to determine whether a consent will be required in respect of the Business Combination.
If the conditions described above are not satisfied or (to the extent legally allowed) waived, the Business Combination will not be completed, which may result in material adverse consequences to 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s business and operations.

Canadian Securities Law Consequences

The following discussion is only a general overview of certain requirements of Canadian Securities Laws relating to the Business Combination that may be applicable to MLC Shareholders, to holders of MLC Warrants, MLC RSUs and MLC DEUs and to New Mount Logan after the Effective Time. Each MLC Shareholder is urged to consult such shareholder’s professional advisors to determine the Canadian conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable pursuant to the MLC Merger.
Reporting Status and Listing
Mount Logan is a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada. The MLC Common Shares are currently listed on Cboe Canada. Following completion of the Business Combination, Mount Logan (after completion of the MLC Merger) will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan and it is anticipated that New Mount Logan will apply to the applicable Canadian securities regulators to have Mount Logan cease to be a reporting issuer and that the MLC Common Shares will be delisted from Cboe Canada.
138

Upon completion of the Business Combination, New Mount Logan will become a reporting issuer in each of the provinces of Canada and will be an “SEC foreign issuer” within the meaning of NI 71-102. As an “SEC foreign issuer” within the meaning of NI 71-102, New Mount Logan will be exempt from most of the continuous disclosure requirements set out in NI 51-102 provided New Mount Logan complies with the equivalent continuous disclosure requirements applicable to New Mount Logan under applicable U.S. Securities Laws and files its reports required under applicable U.S. Securities Laws in all provinces of Canada. MLC Shareholders should be aware that the historical financial statements of Mount Logan filed pursuant to Canadian Securities Laws were prepared in accordance with IFRS and were subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in Canada. As an “SEC foreign issuer” within the meaning of NI 71-102, New Mount Logan’s financial statements and information filed under applicable U.S. Securities Laws will be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which differs from IFRS in certain material respects, and are subject to auditing and auditor independence standards in the United States, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements and information of Canadian reporting issuers prepared in accordance with IFRS.
In addition, while the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock will be listed on the Nasdaq, they will not be listed on any stock exchange in Canada.
Resale of Shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock
The issuance of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock pursuant to the MLC Merger will constitute a distribution of securities that is exempt from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian Securities Laws. Shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issued pursuant to the MLC Merger may be resold in Canada, provided: (i) that New Mount Logan is a reporting issuer in a jurisdiction of Canada for the four months immediately preceding the trade (which calculation of time may include the time Mount Logan was a reporting issuer prior to the MLC Merger); (ii) the trade is not a "control distribution" as defined in NI 45-102; (iii) no unusual effort is made to prepare the market or create a demand for those securities; (iv) no extraordinary commission or consideration is paid in respect of that trade; and (v) if the selling security holder is an “insider” or “officer” of New Mount Logan (as such terms are defined by applicable Canadian Securities Laws), the insider or officer has no reasonable grounds to believe that New Mount Logan is in default of applicable Canadian Securities Laws.
In addition, the first trade in the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issued pursuant to the MLC Merger will be exempt from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian Securities Laws as New Mount Logan will be a foreign issuer on the distribution date and New Mount Logan was not a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada on the distribution date, provided that the trade is made through an exchange, or a market outside of Canada or to a person or company outside of Canada.
Each MLC Shareholder and holder of MLC Warrants is urged to consult such shareholder’s professional advisors to determine the Canadian conditions and restrictions applicable to trades in the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable pursuant to the MLC Merger, including the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the MLC Delaware Warrants.
To the extent that an MLC Shareholder or holder of MLC Warrants resides in a non-Canadian jurisdiction, the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock received by such shareholder pursuant to the MLC Merger or issuable to such warrantholder upon exercise of such MLC Warrants may be subject to certain additional trading restrictions under applicable securities laws in such jurisdiction. All MLC Shareholders and holders of MLC Warrants residing outside Canada are advised to consult their own legal advisors regarding such resale restrictions. See “The Mergers – U.S. Federal Securities Law Consequences.
Multilateral Instrument 61-101
    Mount Logan is subject to the requirements of MI 61-101, which regulates certain transactions to ensure fair treatment of securityholders in transactions which raise the potential for conflicts of interest, generally requiring enhanced disclosure, approval by a majority of securityholders excluding interested parties, and, in certain instances, independent valuations. The protections afforded by MI 61-101 apply to "business combinations" (as defined in MI
139

61-101) which are transactions that result in the interests of securityholders being terminated without their consent, subject to certain exceptions.
The MLC Merger will constitute a “business combination” for the purposes of MI 61-101 if, among other things, any “related parties” (as defined in MI 61-101) directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the MLC Merger receive a “collateral benefit” (as defined in MI 61-101).
Collateral Benefit
A “collateral benefit” (as defined in MI 61-101) includes any benefit that a “related party” of an issuer (which includes the directors and senior officers of the issuer) is entitled to receive, directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the transaction, including without limitation, an increase in salary, a lump sum payment, a payment for surrendering securities or other enhancement in benefits related to past or future services as an employee, director or consultant of the issuer. MI 61-101 excludes from the meaning of collateral benefit a payment per security that is identical in amount and form to the entitlement of the general body of holders in Canada of securities of the same class, as well as certain benefits to a related party received solely in connection with the related party’s services as an employee or director of an issuer, of an affiliated entity of such issuer or of a successor to the business of such issuer where (a) the benefit is not conferred for the purpose, in whole or in part, of increasing the value of the consideration paid to the related party for securities relinquished under the transaction; (b) the conferring of the benefit is not, by its terms, conditional on the related party supporting the transaction in any manner; (c) full particulars of the benefit are disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction; and (d) either (i) at the time of the transaction the related party and his or her associated entities beneficially own, or exercise control or direction over, less than 1% of the outstanding securities of each class of equity securities of the issuer (the “De Minimis Holdings Exception”), or (ii) the related party discloses to an independent committee of the issuer the amount of consideration that he or she expects to be beneficially entitled to receive, under the terms of the transaction, in exchange for the equity securities he or she beneficially owns and the independent committee acting in good faith determines that the value of the benefit, net of any offsetting costs to the related party, is less than 5% of the value of the consideration the related party will receive pursuant to the terms of the transaction for the equity securities he or she beneficially owns (the “De Minimis Value Exception”), and the independent committee's determination is disclosed in the disclosure document for the transaction.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and following the MLC Domestication, all outstanding MLC Delaware RSUs and MLC Delaware DEUs issued pursuant to Mount Logan’s Performance and Restricted Share Unit Plan will become fully vested with the holders ultimately receiving shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock for their MLC Delaware Units issued upon vesting of the MLC Delaware RSUs and MLC Delaware DEUs. (the “RSU/DEU Acceleration”). See the section entitled “Merger Agreement - Treatment of Mount Logan Equity AwardsandInterests of Mount Logan Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers.”

The RSU/DEU Acceleration may be considered a “collateral benefit” to each director or senior officer of Mount Logan that is a holder thereof; provided however that, except with respect to Edward Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer of Mount Logan, and Perry Dellelce, Director of Mount Logan, as discussed below, such benefits fall within the De Minimis Holdings Exception. Edward Goldthorpe and Perry Dellelce are, however, deemed to be receiving a “collateral benefit” as neither the De Minimis Holdings Exception nor the De Minimis Value Exception apply to them. Accordingly, as further detailed below, other than MLC Common Shares owned by Edward Goldthorpe and Perry Dellelce, all MLC Common Shares held by Mount Logan’s directors and senior officers can be counted in determining whether “minority approval” required to approve the MLC Merger is obtained.
Minority Shareholder Approval
The MLC Merger is a “business combination” as certain “related parties,” in connection with the MLC Merger, are receiving a "collateral benefit," as described above, each as defined in accordance with MI 61-101.
As a result, the MLC Merger Resolution will require "minority approval" in accordance with MI 61-101, which will require approval by a majority of the votes cast, excluding the votes attached to securities beneficially
140

owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by “related parties” of Mount Logan who can be considered to be receiving a "collateral benefit" in connection with the MLC Merger, or are "related parties" or "joint actors" (as defined in MI 61-101) of such related parties.
The votes attached to MLC Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, if any, by each of Nikita Klassen, Matthias Ederer, Henry Wang, David Held, Rudolph Reinfrank, Buckley Ratchford, David Allen and Sabrina Liak, each of whom is a director and/or a senior officer of Mount Logan, are not excluded for the purpose of minority approval, on the basis that each such person falls within the De Minimis Holdings Exception.
This minority approval is in addition to the requirement that the MLC Merger Resolution be approved by holders representing greater than fifty-percent of all issued and outstanding MLC Common Shares.
For purposes of the minority approval requirements of MI 61-101, all of the 1,031,829 MLC Common Shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, or over which control or direction is exercised by Edward Goldthorpe, Chief Executive Officer, Director and Chairman of the Board of Mount Logan, and Perry Dellelce, Director of Mount Logan, or their related parties or joint actors, representing, as of the MLC Record Date, approximately 3.54% of the issued and outstanding MLC Common Shares, on an undiluted basis, will be excluded in determining whether minority approval for the MLC Merger is obtained.
As of the MLC Record Date, the MLC Common Shares to be excluded for purposes of the minority approval requirement are set out below:
Related PartyNo. of MLC Common SharesPercentage of Outstanding MLC Common Shares as of the MLC Record Date
Edward Goldthorpe617,9892.12%
Perry Dellelce413,8401.42%
Total1,031,8293.54%

Formal Valuation
Mount Logan is not required to obtain a formal valuation in respect of the MLC Merger as the MLC Merger is not a transaction described in section 4.3 of MI 61-101.
Disclosure of Prior Valuations
To the knowledge of Mount Logan and its directors and senior officers, after reasonable inquiry, there have been no prior valuations in respect of Mount Logan (as contemplated in MI 61-101) in the 24 months prior to the date of the Merger Agreement and no bona fide prior offer (as contemplated in MI 61-101) that relates to the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination has been received by Mount Logan during the 24 months before the execution of the Merger Agreement.
Trading History, Purchases and Sales of Securities
The MLC Common Shares are listed and posted for trading on Cboe Canada under the symbol “MLC.” Following the completion of the Business Combination, Mount Logan will apply to have the MLC Common Shares delisted from Cboe Canada.
The following table sets forth the volume of the MLC Common Shares traded on Cboe Canada and the trading price range in the six month period preceding the date of the Merger Agreement. On January 16, 2025, the last trading date prior to the date of announcement of the Merger Agreement, the closing price of the MLC Common Shares was C$2.52.

All MLC Common Shares held by the directors and executive officers of Mount Logan will be treated in the same manner under the MLC Merger as MLC Common Shares held by every other MLC Shareholder.

Certain Canadian Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following summary describes the principal Canadian federal income tax consequences under the Tax Act of the MLC Domestication and the MLC Merger. This summary is generally applicable to MLC Shareholders who beneficially own their MLC Common Shares and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act (i) deal at arm’s length with each of Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital, (ii) are not affiliated with Mount Logan or 180 Degree Capital, and (iii) hold MLC Common Shares as capital property (a “Holder”). The MLC Common Shares will generally be considered to be capital property to the applicable Holder unless such shares are held by the Holder in the course of carrying on a business of buying and selling securities or were acquired in one or more transactions considered to be an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.
This summary assumes that Mount Logan will cease to be resident in Canada for purposes of the Tax Act at the time of the MLC Domestication and that from the time of the MLC Domestication and at all relevant times thereafter Mount Logan will be a resident of the United States for the purpose of the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention (the “U.S. Treaty”) and will be entitled to the benefits of the U.S. Treaty.
This summary is based upon the current provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Tax Proposals”) and an understanding of the current published administrative practices and assessing policies of the Canada Revenue Agency (the “CRA”). No assurances can be given that the Tax Proposals will be enacted as proposed, if at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in applicable law, whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action or administrative policy or assessing practice nor does it take into account other federal tax legislation or considerations or those of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may differ from those discussed herein.
This summary does not apply to a Holder (i) that is a “specified financial institution” for the purposes of the Tax Act, (ii) that is a “financial institution” for the purposes of the mark-to-market rules in the Tax Act, (iii) an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment” for the purposes of the Tax Act, (iv) that reports its “Canadian tax results” for the purposes of the Tax Act in a currency other than Canadian currency, (v) that has entered into or will enter into a “derivative forward agreement” or a “synthetic disposition arrangement” (each as defined in the Tax Act) in respect of the MLC Common Shares or the New Mount Logan Common Stock, (vi) that is a “foreign affiliate” (as defined in the Tax Act) of a taxpayer resident in Canada, (vii) in respect of whom New Mount Logan will be a “foreign affiliate” for purposes of the Tax Act; (viii) that is a partnership, (ix) that has acquired any MLC Common Shares upon the exercise of an employee stock option or other employee compensation plan or otherwise in the course of employment, or (x) that is exempt from Tax under Part I of the Tax Act. In addition, this summary does not address the tax considerations for holders of MLC RSUs, MLC DEUs, MLC Warrants or any other outstanding equity awards of Mount Logan. Holders of such securities should consult with their own tax advisors.
This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Holder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian income tax considerations. Consequently, Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine the particular tax effects to them of the MLC Domestication and MLC Merger and of any other consequences to them in connection with the MLC Domestication and MLC Merger under Canadian federal, provincial, territorial or local tax laws and under foreign tax laws, having regard to their own particular circumstances.
146

Tax Consequences to Shareholders Resident in Canada
This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the Tax Act, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a “Resident Holder”).
Effect of the MLC Domestication
Resident Holders will not be considered to have disposed of their MLC Common Shares by reason only of the MLC Domestication. Accordingly, the MLC Domestication will not cause the Resident Holder to realize a capital gain or loss on their MLC Common Shares and there will be no effect on the adjusted cost base of their MLC Common Shares.
Effect of the MLC Merger
It is expected that the MLC Merger will be a “foreign merger” for purposes of the Tax Act. As a result, pursuant to subsection 87(8) of the Tax Act a Holder of MLC Common Shares (other than a Holder that elects for such subsection not to apply, as discussed below) will be deemed to dispose of such stock for proceeds of disposition equal to the aggregate adjusted cost base of MLC Common Shares to the Holder immediately before the MLC Merger and will be deemed to acquire New Mount Logan Common Stock on the MLC Merger at a cost equal to the same amount. Accordingly, such a Holder will not realize any capital gain or capital loss as a result of the MLC Merger.
A Resident Holder of MLC Common Shares who elects for subsection 87(8) not to apply to the disposition of such Resident Holder’s MLC Common Shares in the MLC Merger will be considered to have disposed of their MLC Common Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the fair market value of the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock received in exchange therefor on the MLC Merger. Such a Resident Holder of MLC Common Shares will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that such proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to such Resident Holder of the MLC Common Shares immediately before the MLC Merger and will acquire the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock at a cost equal to the fair market value of such shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock. For a description of the treatment of capital gains and capital losses, see “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” below.
Dividends on New Mount Logan Common Stock
After the MLC Domestication and the MLC Merger, dividends received on New Mount Logan Common Stock will be required to be included in the Resident Holder’s income for the purposes of the Tax Act. Such dividends received by a Resident Holder who is an individual will not be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules in the Tax Act. A Resident Holder that is a corporation will include such dividends in computing its income and generally will not be entitled to deduct the amount of such dividends in computing its taxable income.
After the MLC Domestication and the MLC Merger, any U.S. non-resident withholding tax on such dividends generally should be eligible, subject to certain limitations under the Tax Act, to be credited against the Resident Holder’s income tax or deducted from income.
Disposition of New Mount Logan Common Stock
After the MLC Domestication and the MLC Merger, a disposition or deemed disposition of New Mount Logan Common Stock by a Resident Holder will generally result in a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Holder of such New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately before the disposition. See “Taxation of Capital Gain or Capital Loss” immediately below.
147

Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses
Generally, a Resident Holder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”) realized by the Resident Holder in the year. Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Holder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized in the year. Allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains in a taxation year may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Holder in such years, to the extent and in the circumstances described in the Tax Act.

In the case of a Resident Holder that is a corporation, the amount of any capital loss arising on a disposition, or deemed disposition, of any MLC Common Shares may be reduced by the amount of dividends received, or deemed to have been received, by it on such share. Similar rules may apply where a corporation is a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns shares, or where a trust or partnership of which a corporation is a beneficiary or a member is itself a member of a partnership or a beneficiary of a trust that owns any shares.
Capital gains realized by a Resident Holder that is an individual (including certain trusts) may be relevant for purposes of calculating liability for alternative minimum tax under the Tax Act.
Additional Refundable Tax
A Resident Holder that is a “Canadian-controlled private corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) throughout the relevant taxation year, or a “substantive CCPC” (as defined in the Tax Act) at any time in the year, may be liable to pay an additional tax (refundable in certain circumstances) on its “aggregate investment income” (as defined in the Tax Act) for the year, including any taxable capital gains, interest, and dividends or deemed dividends that are not deductible in computing the Resident Holder’s taxable income.
Foreign Property Information Reporting
A Resident Holder that is a “specified Canadian entity” (as such term is defined in the Tax Act) for a taxation year or fiscal period whose total “cost amount” of “specified foreign property” (as such terms are defined in the Tax Act), which will include the New Mount Logan Common Stock, at any time in the year or fiscal period exceeds CAD$100,000 is required to file an information return for the year or period disclosing prescribed information in respect of such property. Such holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors.
Offshore Investment Fund Property Rules
The “offshore investment fund property” rules in the Tax Act (the “OIFP Rules”) may, in certain circumstances, require a taxpayer to include in income in each taxation year an imputed return which is determined based on the cost of offshore investment fund properties held by the taxpayer multiplied by a prescribed interest rate.
An offshore investment fund property generally includes shares of a non-resident corporation to the extent that such shares may reasonably be considered to derive their value, directly or indirectly, primarily from portfolio investments in certain specified types of assets, including commodities and foreign currencies. It is unclear whether the New Mount Logan Common Stock will satisfy this definition. However, a Holder will only be subject to the OIFP Rules in respect of New Mount Logan Common Stock to the extent that it may reasonably be concluded, having regard to all the circumstances, that one of the main reasons for the Holder acquiring, holding or having such share is to derive a benefit from portfolio investments in such assets in such a manner that the amount of tax payable
148

by the Holder on income, profit or gain from such assets for any particular year is significantly less than the tax that would have been payable under Part I of the Tax Act had the Holder held such assets directly.
The OIFP Rules are complex and their application will potentially depend, in part, on the reasons for a Holder acquiring, holding or having the New Mount Logan Common Stock. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of these rules based on their particular circumstances.
Dissenting Resident Holders of MLC Continuance
A Resident Holder that properly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of its MLC Common Shares (a “Dissenting Resident Holder”) will dispose of its MLC Common Shares to Mount Logan and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such MLC Common Shares. Although not free from doubt, such Dissenting Resident Holder should be deemed to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which such payment (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement) exceeds the “paid-up capital” of such MLC Common Shares for purposes of the Tax Act immediately before that time.
A Dissenting Resident Holder will be required to include in computing its income for a taxation year any dividend deemed to be received on the MLC Common Shares. In the case of a Dissenting Resident Holder that is an individual (including certain trusts), any such dividend will be subject to the gross-up and dividend tax credit rules normally applicable to taxable dividends received by Canadian resident individuals from a taxable Canadian corporation, including the enhanced gross-up and dividend tax credit if Mount Logan validly designates the dividend as an “eligible dividend.” There may be limitations on Mount Logan’s ability to designate such dividends as eligible dividends.
In the case of a Dissenting Resident Holder that is a corporation, any such dividend generally will be included in computing such Dissenting Resident Holder’s income as a dividend and will ordinarily be deductible in computing its taxable income subject to all other limitations under the Tax Act. In certain circumstances, a taxable dividend received by a Dissenting Resident Holder that is a corporation will be treated under the Tax Act as proceeds of disposition or a capital gain. Dissenting Resident Holders that are corporations should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own circumstances.
A “private corporation” or a “subject corporation” (as defined in the Tax Act) may be liable under Part IV of the Tax Act to pay a refundable tax on any dividend that it is deemed to receive on MLC Common Shares to the extent that the dividend is deductible in computing the corporation’s taxable income.
A Dissenting Resident Holder who transfers MLC Common Shares to Mount Logan for cancellation will also be considered to have disposed of their MLC Common Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Dissenting Resident Holder (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement), less the amount of any deemed dividend arising on the transfer described above. The Dissenting Resident Holder will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) to the extent that the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base of the Dissenting Resident Holder’s MLC Common Shares. For a description of the tax treatment of capital gains or capital loss, see “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” above.
A Dissenting Resident Holder will also be required to include in computing its income any interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement.
Dissenting Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors with respect to the Canadian income tax consequences of exercising their Dissent Rights.
Eligibility for Investment
Provided the New Mount Logan Common Stock are listed on a designated stock exchange (which, for purposes of the Tax Act, currently includes the Nasdaq), the New Mount Logan Common Stock will, immediately
149

after the MLC Merger, be qualified investments under the Tax Act for trusts governed by a registered retirement savings plan, registered retirement income fund, registered education savings plan, registered disability savings plan, tax-free savings account, first home savings account (collectively, “Registered Plans”), or a deferred profit sharing plan.

Pursuant to the MLC Domestication, holders of MLC Common Shares prior to the MLC Domestication will hold MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC Delaware Units for a short period of time following the completion of the MLC Domestication and before completion of the MLC Merger.  Although the ticker representing the MLC Common Shares (which will become MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC Delaware Units on the MLC Domestication) will continue to be listed on a designated stock exchange (which, for purposes of the Tax Act, currently includes Cboe Canada) during such short period, it is unclear whether the MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC Delaware Units themselves will be considered listed on the Cboe Canada during such short period for purposes of the Tax Act. Therefore it is unclear whether the MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC Delaware Units will be a “qualified investment” under the Tax Act for trusts governed by Registered Plans prior to the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock being issued to MLC Shareholders. MLC Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the New Mount Logan Common Stock are a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan, the holder, subscriber or annuitant of the Registered Plan (the “Plan Holder”), as the case may be, will be subject to a penalty tax as set out in the Tax Act. New Mount Logan Common Stock will generally be a “prohibited investment” for a Registered Plan if the Plan Holder does not deal at arm’s length with New Mount Logan for purposes of the Tax Act or has a “significant interest” (as defined in the Tax Act) in New Mount Logan. In addition, the New Mount Logan Common Stock will generally not be a prohibited investment if such shares are “excluded property” as defined in the Tax Act for purposes of the prohibited investment rules.

Regarding the MLC Common Shares, the MLC Domestication will not, in and of itself, cause the MLC Common Shares to cease to be a qualified investment under the Tax Act for trusts governed by Registered Plans.

Plan Holders are advised to consult their own tax advisors with respect to whether MLC Common Shares and New Mount Logan Common Stock are “prohibited investments” in their particular circumstances and the tax consequences of New Mount Logan Common Stock being acquired or held by a Registered Plan.

Tax Consequences to Shareholders Not Resident in Canada
This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who is a MLC Shareholder and who, at all relevant times, for the purposes of the Tax Act and any applicable tax treaty or convention, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold, and is not deemed to use or hold, MLC Common Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Holder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to certain Non-Resident Holders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere or are “authorized foreign banks” (as defined in the Tax Act) and any such Non-Resident Holders should consult their own tax advisors.
Effect of the MLC Domestication
Non-Resident Holders will not be considered to have disposed of their MLC Common Shares by reason only of the MLC Domestication. Accordingly, the MLC Domestication will not cause the Non-Resident Holder to realize a capital gain or loss on their MLC Common Shares and there will be no effect on the adjusted cost base of their MLC Common Shares.
After the MLC Domestication, Non-Resident Holders will not be subject to Canadian withholding tax on dividends received from Mount Logan or New Mount Logan.
Effect of the MLC Merger
150

For a description of the tax consequences of the MLC Merger to Non-Resident Holders, see the first paragraph of “Tax Consequences to Shareholders Resident in Canada - Effect of the MLC Merger” above.
Dissenting Shareholders of MLC Continuance
A Non-Resident Holder that properly exercises Dissent Rights in respect of its MLC Common Shares (a “Dissenting Non-Resident Holder”) will dispose of its MLC Common Shares to Mount Logan and will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such MLC Common Shares. Although not free from doubt, such Dissenting Non-Resident Holder may be deemed to have received a dividend equal to the amount, if any, by which such payment (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement) exceeds the “paid-up capital” of such MLC Common Shares for purposes of the Tax Act immediately before that time.
A dividend deemed to be received by a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will be subject to Canadian withholding tax at a rate of 25% or such lower rate as may be substantiated under the terms of an applicable tax treaty. For example, a dividend deemed to be received by a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder that is a resident of the United States for purposes of the U.S. Treaty, is fully entitled to benefits under the U.S. Treaty and is the beneficial owner of such dividends will generally be subject to withholding tax at a treaty-reduced rate of 15% (or 5% if the beneficial owner of such dividends is a company that owns at least 10% of the MLC Common Shares). Dissenting Non-Resident Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors to determine their entitlement, if any, to relief under an applicable tax treaty, if applicable.
A Dissenting Non-Resident Holder who transfers MLC Common Shares to Mount Logan for cancellation will also be considered to have disposed of their MLC Common Shares for proceeds of disposition equal to the amount paid to such Non-Dissenting Resident Holder (other than any portion of the payment that is interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement), less the amount of any deemed dividend arising on the transfer described above.
The Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain unless the MLC Common Shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder at the time of the transfer and such gain is not exempt from tax under the Tax Act pursuant to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty (if any). Generally, provided that the MLC Common Shares are listed on a “designated stock exchange” (which currently includes Cboe Canada) at the time of disposition, the MLC Common Shares will not be taxable Canadian property of a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder at that time unless at any time during the 60-month period immediately preceding that time: (a) one or any combination of (i) the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder, (ii) persons with whom the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder did not deal at arm’s length for purposes of the Tax Act and (iii) a partnership in which the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder or such non-arm’s length person holds a membership interest directly or indirectly through one or more partnerships owned 25% or more of the issued MLC Common Shares or any other issued class of Mount Logan’s shares; and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the MLC Common Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of (i) real or immovable property situated in Canada, (ii) “Canadian resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), (iii) “timber resource properties” (as defined in the Tax Act), and (iv) options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, property described in any of (i) to (iii), whether or not such property exists. In addition, the MLC Common Shares may be deemed to be taxable Canadian property of a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder in certain circumstances specified in the Tax Act.
In the event the MLC Common Shares are “taxable Canadian property” of a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder and the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder is not entitled to an exemption pursuant to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty (if any), any capital gain or capital loss realized by the Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will be treated in the same manner as described under the heading “Taxation of Capital Gains and Capital Losses” above.
Generally, a Dissenting Non-Resident Holder will not be subject to Canadian income or withholding tax under the Tax Act on any interest awarded by a court in connection with the Arrangement.
151

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Mergers

The Mergers, taken together, will be treated as a transfer to a corporation controlled by transferors within the meaning of Section 351 of the Code. Shareholders of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan are not expected to recognize gain or loss in connection with the Mergers given that such shareholders shall receive only New Mount Logan Common Stock as consideration for the Mergers.
As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had loss carryforwards in aggregate of $23,460,501, long term. Capital losses for the year ended December 31, 2024, were $3,670,653. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had cumulative capital losses, which were derived during years when it failed as a RIC, totaling $10,438,040, which may be carried back 3 years or carried forward 5 years. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had post-enactment cumulative capital losses under the provisions of the RIC Act, which were derived during years when it qualified as a RIC, totaling $13,022,461. Post-enactment losses have no expiration date. As of December 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had approximately $91.4 million in operating loss carryforwards that begin to expire in 2026. As a result of the Business Combination, 180 Degree Capital’s operating and capital loss carryforwards are expected to be subject to limitations of future use to offset taxable capital gains and income, as applicable, pursuant to Section 382 of the Code.

Mount Logan Shareholder Dissent Rights

The Interim Order provides that each Registered MLC Shareholder as of the close of business on the record date of the MLC Special Meeting will have the right to dissent and, if the Arrangement becomes effective, to be paid the fair value of their MLC Common Shares by Mount Logan, which shall be the fair value of such MLC Common Shares as of the close of business on the day before the Arrangement Resolution is approved by MLC Shareholders at the MLC Special Meeting, and such dissenting shareholders shall not be entitled to any other payment or consideration, including any payment that would be payable pursuant to the Mergers had such holders not exercised their Dissent Rights in respect of such MLC Common Shares. If a dissenting shareholder fails to strictly comply with the requirements of the Dissent Rights set out in Section 185 of the OBCA, as modified by the Plan of Arrangement and the Interim Order, such dissenting shareholder may lose his, her or its Dissent Rights. See the section entitled “Dissent Rights for MLC Shareholders in respect of the Arrangement” in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. No appraisal rights following the Continuation are available under the Delaware LLC Act or the terms of the MLC Delaware LLCA in respect of the Mergers.
180 Degree Capital Shareholder Dissent Rights

No shareholder of 180 Degree Capital will be entitled to exercise dissenters’ rights in connection with the Mergers under the Laws of the State of New York.
Expected Accounting Treatment of the Mergers
180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan have performed an analysis of the various reorganization steps to effectuate the Business Combination between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan including creation of New Mount Logan. At the completion of the Mergers:

180 Degree Capital becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan through its merger with TURN Merger Sub, in which 180 Degree Capital is the surviving business;
Mount Logan becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan through its merger with Moose Merger Sub LLC, in which Mount Logan is surviving business;
180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan become wholly-owned legal subsidiaries of New Mount Logan.

While New Mount Logan will be the legal acquiror of Mount Logan, for accounting purposes, the transaction will be treated as a reverse acquisition and accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. This determination is
152

primarily based on the fact that, subsequent to the consummation of the transaction, former Mount Logan equity holders will have a majority of the voting rights of the combined company, former Mount Logan equity holders will have the ability to nominate a majority of the members of the board of directors of the combined company, and Mount Logan senior management will comprise the senior management roles of New Mount Logan, including the roles of Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, and be responsible for the day-to-day operations. As such, New Mount Logan, including 180 Degree Capital as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan, will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes.

Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of Mount Logan will be stated at historical carrying values and its consolidated financial statements will be presented as the predecessor to the combined company in the historical financial statements following the consummation of the transaction. The assets and liabilities of 180 Degree Capital will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. If such excess exists based on preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill will be recognized in this transaction. The results of 180 Degree Capital will be presented within the consolidated results of Mount Logan from the date of acquisition going forward.

The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the Mergers are completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the estimated relative fair values of each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s assets and liabilities. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets, commitments and other items of either 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, as applicable, as compared to the information shown in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, may occur. Accordingly, the final adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Listing of New Mount Logan Common Stock

The Parties are required to use reasonable best efforts to cause the shares comprising the Merger Consideration to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq, subject to official notice of issuance, at or prior to the Effective Time.
Delisting of MLC Common Shares

The MLC Common Shares are currently listed on Cboe Canada. Following completion of the Business Combination, Mount Logan (after completion of the MLC Merger) will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan and it is anticipated that New Mount Logan will apply to the applicable Canadian securities regulators to have Mount Logan cease to be a reporting issuer and that the MLC Common Shares will be delisted from Cboe Canada. See “The Mergers – Canadian Securities Law Consequences.

Deregistration and Delisting of 180 Degree Capital
Following the Effective Time, New Mount Logan will take all necessary actions to deregister 180 Degree Capital as an investment company under the 1940 Act. Specifically, 180 Degree Capital will file an application on Form N-8F with the SEC on the basis that 180 Degree Capital qualifies for an exclusion from the definition of an “investment company” under Section 3(c)(1) or Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and has therefore abandoned its registration under the 1940 Act, or on such other basis as mutually agreed upon by Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital.

Prior to the Closing Date, 180 Degree Capital will use its reasonable best efforts to take all actions necessary to facilitate the delisting of TURN Common Shares from Nasdaq, in accordance with applicable laws and Nasdaq rules and policies.

If the Mergers are consummated, (a) each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of TURN Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of 180 Degree Capital, (b) each share of New Mount Logan Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be redeemed by New Mount Logan and such shares will be cancelled, will cease to exist and no consideration will be issued in redemption therefor, (c) subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each TURN Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the TURN Exchange Ratio, as more fully described below (the “TURN Merger Consideration”), subject to the treatment of fractional shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (d) each unit representing a membership interest in MLC Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one (1) unit representing a membership interest in Mount Logan, and (e) subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each MLC Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, but for the avoidance of doubt, and after giving effect to the MLC Domestication (other than
154

any Excluded Shares) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock equal to the MLC Exchange Ratio, as more fully described below (the “MLC Merger Consideration” and together with the TURN Merger Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), subject to the treatment of fractional shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement.
The 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan exchange ratios are calculated based on each of Mount Logan’s and 180 Degree Capital’s respective NAV as of the Closing, which will be determined in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, as described in more detail below. The TURN Exchange Ratio is calculated by obtaining (a) the quotient of (i) one (1), divided by (ii) the Outstanding TURN Shares, multiplied by (b) the product of (i) the New Mount Logan Shares for Issuance, multiplied by (ii) the quotient (rounded to the nearest fourth decimal place with 0.00005 rounding up) of (x) the Closing TURN Net Asset Value, divided by (y) the Combined Closing NAV. The MLC Exchange Ratio is calculated by obtaining (a) the quotient of (i) one (1), divided by (ii) the outstanding MLC Common Shares, multiplied by (b) the product of (i) the New Mount Logan Shares for Issuances, multiplied by (ii) the MLC NAV Multiplier. The TURN Exchange Ratio and the MLC Exchange Ratio will each be equitably adjusted (to the extent not already taken into account in determining the applicable NAVs) if, from the date 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan delivers its respective net asset value calculation to the other party until the Effective Time, the number of outstanding TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, respectively, increase, decrease, change into or are exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or securities as a result of any reclassification, merger, recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or exchange of shares or similar transaction, or if a stock dividend or dividend payable in any other securities will have been authorized and declared with a record date within such period.
180 Degree Capital’s NAV as of the Closing is calculated as the value of the net assets of 180 Degree Capital, calculated using the same assumptions and methodologies and applying the same categories of adjustments to net asset value, historically used by 180 Degree Capital in calculating the NAV of 180 Degree Capital that has been publicly reported by 180 Degree Capital in its financial statements. 180 Degree Capital’s NAV is calculated (a) without taking into account any conversion of 180 Degree Capital investment assets into cash. any subsequent distribution of such cash by 180 Degree Capital to New Mount Logan or any of its Subsidiaries or any distribution in kind of 180 Degree Capital investment assets to New Mount Logan or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case, as required to implement the 40 Act Closing Date Plan, if applicable, and (b) includes, to the extent not settled at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, (the “Determination Date”), all current and future liabilities related to the Harris & Harris Group, Inc. Retiree Medical Benefit Plan, in an amount equal to the figure actuarially determined and included in 180 Degree Capital’s annual report for the year ending December 31, 2024, net of any payments made under such plan through the Determination Date. At the Closing, 180 Degree Capital’s NAV will be calculated in accordance with the above, and in addition will be (i) reduced for TURN Transaction Expenses to the extent the same did not reduce, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the calculation of 180 Degree Capital’s NAV, and (ii) increased by the amount of the TURN Change of Control Severance Payments included in TURN Transaction Expenses.
The TURN Transaction Expenses include the aggregate amount of all unpaid fees, costs, expenses and other amounts incurred or otherwise payable, directly or indirectly, by 180 Degree Capital, New Mount Logan, TURN Merger Sub, MLC Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries in connection with, arising from or related to (a) the negotiation, preparation, execution or delivery of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Business Combination, including all legal, accounting, proxy solicitation, financial printer, investment banking and financial advisory fees, costs and expenses of 180 Degree Capital, New Mount Logan, TURN Merger Sub, MLC Merger Sub or any of their respective Subsidiaries, in each case other than to the extent constituting (i) any filing fees payable in connection with the notifications, filings, registrations, submission and other materials required to satisfy the regulatory approvals required at Closing, (ii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the paying and exchange agreement engaged in connection with the Business Combination, and (iii) all registration and other filing fees payable to the SEC, Canadian securities regulators or Cboe Canada in respect of, and all legal accounting, proxy solicitation and financial printer fees, costs and expenses incurred by any Party in connection with, the filing of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (collectively, the “Shared Expenses”); (b) all performance awards, deferred compensation, bonuses, including transaction bonuses and stay bonuses, change of control payments, retention payments, termination, severance or other bonuses or payments that are triggered or accelerated or otherwise due or payable in connection with or incident to (whether at or after Closing) the consummation of the
155

Business Combination (including for the avoidance of doubt all retention bonus payments payable to each of Kevin M. Rendino and Daniel B. Wolfe and any TURN Change of Control Severance Payments), including any gross-up or similar payments for Taxes, (c) the employer’s portion of all payroll, employment, unemployment and similar Taxes applicable to any amounts set forth in the preceding subclause (b), (d) one hundred percent (100%) of (i) transfer taxes associated with the TURN Merger and (ii) the costs of obtaining a six (6) year tail insurance policy for director and officer liability for 180 Degree Capital; and (e) fifty percent (50%) of all Shared Expenses.
Mount Logan’s NAV as of the Closing is calculated as $67,410,000, (i) reduced by the aggregate amount of cash dividends or in kind distributions (other than distributions of MLC Common Shares), if any, paid by Mount Logan to its stockholders during the period between the date of the Merger Agreement through the Determination Date (excluding any MLC Delaware Units issued in the MLC Domestication) and (ii) increased by the value ascribed by Mount Logan to any new capital stock actually issued by Mount Logan during the period beginning on the date of the Merger Agreement through the Determination Date in exchange for cash contributions (including cash contributed in connection with exercise of any warrants) or other assets actually received (including by way of any acquisition, however structured) during the interim period (other than stock issued to employees or other service providers of Mount Logan or in connection with any acquisition).
If the relative NAVs of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan would result in either the TURN NAV Multiplier being greater than 50% such that shareholders of 180 Degree Capital would own in the aggregate more than 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time or any shareholder of 180 Degree Capital being expected to own 25% or more of the issued and outstanding shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately after the Effective Time, 180 Degree Capital will, prior to Closing and subject to the prior approval of Mount Logan, make in-kind distributions to its shareholders such that the TURN NAV Multiplier is less than 50% or such shareholder would not be entitled to 25% or more of the issued and outstanding New Mount Logan Common Stock immediately following the Effective Time, as applicable. The in-kind distributions may be comprised of cash and/or freely tradable common stock of publicly traded portfolio companies held by 180 Degree Capital as of the Determination Date. The determination of which assets are distributed to shareholders of 180 Degree Capital will be determined by 180 Degree Capital and be subject to approval by Mount Logan. There will be no consent or notice required in connection with any distribution to 180 Degree Capital Shareholders. The valuation of any securities distributed in-kind will be set based on the closing price of such securities on the Determination Date, and any such distribution would occur prior to Closing.
For example, if 180 Degree Capital’s NAV as of the Determination Date was $75 million and Mount Logan’s NAV as of the Determination Date was $67.41 million, 180 Degree Capital will, subject to the prior approval of Mount Logan, make distributions such that 180 Degree Capital Shareholders would receive approximately $7.725 million in cash and/or shares of freely tradable publicly traded common stock of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio holdings, in aggregate, and 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan Shareholders would own approximately 49.9% and 50.1% of New Mount Logan, respectively.

No fractional shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock will be issued upon the conversion of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares. As to any fraction of a share to which any holder of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares exchanged pursuant to the Mergers would be entitled (after aggregating all fractional shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to which such holder would be entitled in respect of such exchanged TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, as applicable), such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
Treatment of Mount Logan Equity Awards

Prior to the Effective Time and in connection with the Mergers, Mount Logan will cause all restricted share units of Mount Logan which are issued and outstanding as of the Effective Time to be accelerated in accordance with the terms and conditions of the performance and restricted share unit plan of Mount Logan and applicable award agreement. For more information, please see “The Mount Logan Meeting -- MLC RSU/DEU Holders.”

Assumption of Warrants

On October 19, 2018, Mount Logan issued warrants to acquire an aggregate of 20,468,128 MLC Common Shares (the “2018 Warrants”). As of December 31, 2024, Mount Logan had all 20,468,128 2018 Warrants outstanding which are exercisable at any time up to October 19, 2025. As a result of a reverse share split completed by Mount Logan on December 3, 2019, every eight (8) 2018 Warrants entitle the holder to receive, upon exercise, one MLC Common Share at a price of C$6.16 per common share. Accordingly, an aggregate of up to 2,558,516 MLC Common Shares were issuable upon the exercise of the 20,468,128 outstanding 2018 Warrants as of December 31, 2024.
On January 26, 2024, Mount Logan completed a private placement of debentures and warrants (the “2024 Warrants”). Each 2024 Warrant is exercisable to acquire one MLC Common Share at a price of C$2.75 per share for a period of eight (8) years from the issuance thereof. Accordingly, an aggregate of up to 937,600 MLC Common Shares were issuable upon the exercise of the 937,600 outstanding 2024 Warrants as of December 31, 2024.
Prior to the Effective Time, 180 Degree Capital will cause New Mount Logan to execute one or more supplemental indentures to the Warrant Indentures to evidence and effectuate the due assumption by New Mount Logan of all obligations of Mount Logan under such Warrant Indentures, which supplemental indentures will obligate New Mount Logan to issue New Mount Logan Common Stock upon the exercise of any 2018 Warrants or 2024 Warrants outstanding under the Warrant Indentures in accordance with their terms. In connection with this assumption of obligations, the MLC Warrants will be adjusted in accordance with their terms such that upon exercise of such MLC Warrants by a holder, such holder will receive a number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock (having regard to the MLC Exchange Ratio) in lieu of the number of MLC Common Shares such holder would have received if such MLC Warrants had been exercised prior to the Mergers, for the same aggregate consideration. If such assumption of obligations had taken place on July 8, 2025, (i) the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of all outstanding 2018 Warrants would have been 645,287, and (ii) the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that would have been issuable upon exercise of all outstanding 2024 Warrants would have been 236,473, in each case, reflecting the MLC Exchange Ratio as at such date. The information in the prior sentence is provided for illustrative purposes only, and the numbers of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable in connection with any exercise following the assumption at the Effective Time may be higher or lower than the amounts set forth in the prior sentence to reflect the MLC Exchange Ratio as at the Effective Time. Following the Effective Time, New Mount Logan will comply with all terms and conditions of the Warrant Indentures. Neither the 2018 Warrants nor the 2024 Warrants are expected to be listed on any exchange in connection with the assumption by New Mount Logan at the Effective Time or thereafter.

Conversion of Shares; Exchange of Shares in the Mergers

Pursuant to the Mergers, (i) all of the TURN Common Shares and all MLC Common Shares converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the Merger Agreement will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be cancelled and will cease to exist, and each such TURN Common Share and each MLC Common Share will thereafter represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration.
Post-Effective Time Distributions

If any dividend or distribution having a record date at or following the Effective Time is declared by New Mount Logan in respect of the New Mount Logan Common Stock, such declaration will apply to all shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable or issued pursuant to the Merger Agreement that remain outstanding as of the payment date of such dividend or distribution.
Withholding

New Mount Logan, Mount Logan, 180 Degree Capital and the paying agent and exchange agent, as applicable, will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to the Merger Agreement
157

such amounts as each determines in good faith are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under applicable tax laws. If any amounts are withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such withheld amounts will be treated as having been paid to the recipient from whom they were withheld.

The representations and warranties of 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan were made as of specific dates, may be subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the Parties in connection with negotiating the terms of the Merger Agreement and may have been included in the Merger Agreement for the purpose of allocating risk between the Parties rather than to establish matters as facts. The Merger Agreement is described in, and included as Annex A to, this document only to provide you with information regarding its terms and conditions and not to provide any other factual information regarding the Parties or their respective businesses. Accordingly, the representations and warranties and other provisions of the Merger Agreement should not be read alone, but instead, should be read only in conjunction with the information provided elsewhere in this document.
For purposes of the Merger Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” with respect to Mount Logan or 180 Degree Capital, as applicable, means any event, change, circumstance, effect, development, condition or occurrence (an “Effect”) that, individually or together with any one or more event, changes, circumstances, effects, developments, conditions or occurrences, has, has had or would reasonably be expected to have (a) a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, financial condition or results of operations of, in the case of 180 Degree Capital, 180 Degree Capital and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, in the case of Mount Logan, Mount Logan and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (b) a material adverse effect on the ability of, in the case of 180 Degree Capital, 180 Degree Capital, New Mount Logan, TURN Merger Sub or MLC Merger Sub or, in the case of Mount Logan, Mount Logan, to consummate the Business Combination prior to the Termination Date. Solely with respect to clause (a), a Material Adverse Effect will not include and, in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be likely to occur, will be deemed not to include any Effect to the extent resulting from or arising out of:
i.changes in the economic or securities, credit, financial or other capital market conditions generally (including changes in interest rates or changes in prices of debt or equity securities);
ii.a change or condition affecting the industries in which 180 Degree Capital or its Subsidiaries, or Mount Logan or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, operate generally;
iii.any changes or proposed changes after the date of the Merger Agreement in Laws or accounting regulations or principles (including U.S. GAAP and IFRS) or their respective interpretation or enforcement;
iv.any change after the date of the Merger Agreement in general political, regulatory, legislative or business conditions, acts of terrorism or war or the worsening thereof, including protests, riots or the engagement by the United States of America or any other country in hostilities, whether or not pursuant to a declaration of a national emergency or war, cybercrime, cyberterrorism or civil unrest;
v.disease outbreak or any other pandemic or the worsening thereof (including the impact on economies generally and the results of any actions taken by any Governmental Entity in response thereto), earthquakes, hurricanes or other natural disasters or acts of God;
vi.any failure, in and of itself, by, in the case of 180 Degree Capital, 180 Degree Capital or any of its Subsidiaries, or, in the case of Mount Logan, Mount Logan or any of its Subsidiaries, to meet any internal forecast or projection (provided, that the underlying causes of such failures or decline may, unless otherwise excluded by another clause in this definition of “Material Adverse Effect,” be taken into account and shall not be excluded in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred or would reasonably be likely to occur);
vii.the taking of any action required to comply with the Merger Agreement or to which the other party has provided its express written consent or the failure to take any action prohibited by the Merger Agreement;
160

viii.changes in the trading price or trading volume of TURN Common Shares or MLC Common Shares, in and of itself; and

The exceptions in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) above shall not apply to the extent that such effect disproportionately impacts in the case of 180 Degree Capital, 180 Degree Capital and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or, in the case of Mount Logan, Mount Logan and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, relative to other similarly situated industry participants (in which case, only such incremental disproportionate impact may be taken into account in determining whether there was or has been a Material Adverse Effect).

Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital Recommendations
Mount Logan Recommendation
If, prior to the time at which the MLC Requisite Vote is obtained in respect of the MLC Matters, (i) Mount Logan receives a bona fide unsolicited Takeover Proposal from a third party, and (ii) the Mount Logan Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a MLC Superior Proposal, then Mount Logan may engage in discussions and negotiations with such third party so long as certain notice and other procedural requirements are satisfied.
Upon the Mount Logan Board making a determination that a Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a MLC Superior Proposal, Mount Logan must provide written notice to 180 Degree Capital, within twenty-four (24) hours of such determination, advising 180 Degree Capital that (a) the Mount Logan Board has received a MLC Superior Proposal, (b) specifying, in reasonable detail, the material terms and conditions of such MLC Superior Proposal, and including (to the extent available) a copy of the definitive written agreement or other materials with respect to such MLC Superior Proposal, and (c) identifying the Person making such MLC Superior Proposal. Thereafter, Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital will cooperate and negotiate in good faith (to the extent 180 Degree Capital desires to negotiate) during the five (5) calendar day period (subject to certain extensions) following receipt of such notice to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement such that the Mount Logan Board would be able to determine that such MLC Superior Proposal is no longer a MLC Superior Proposal and proceed with the continued recommendation of the MLC Matters to Mount Logan’s shareholders.
If, prior to the time at which the MLC Requisite Vote is obtained in respect of the MLC Matters and following the five (5) calendar day period above, the Mount Logan Board determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor and after giving effect to any proposed adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, that such MLC Superior Proposal remains a MLC Superior Proposal, and that the continued recommendation of the MLC Matters to MLC Shareholders would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the standard of conduct and duties applicable to the directors of Mount Logan under applicable Law as a result of an MLC Superior Proposal, the Mount Logan Board may make an MLC Adverse Recommendation Change or Mount Logan may terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such MLC Superior Proposal, subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the reimbursement of expenses incurred by 180 Degree Capital in connection with the Business Combination in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.
If, prior to the time at which the MLC Requisite Vote is obtained in respect of the MLC Matters an MLC Intervening Event occurs, Mount Logan must (i) provide written notice to 180 Degree Capital at least five (5) calendar days before changing the Mount Logan Board recommendation in favor of the MLC Matters to Mount Logan’s shareholders in response to such MLC Intervening Event, and (ii) negotiate during such five (5) calendar day period with 180 Degree Capital (to the extent 180 Degree Capital desires to negotiate) in good faith to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement as would not permit the Mount Logan Board to change the affirmative recommendation of the MLC Matters to Mount Logan’s shareholders in respect of such MLC Intervening Event. If, following this five (5) calendar day period, the Mount Logan Board determines, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the continued recommendation of the MLC Matters to MLC Shareholders, after taking into account any adjustments made by 180 Degree Capital in respect of such MLC Intervening Event would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the standard of conduct and duties applicable to the Mount Logan Board under applicable Law as a result of such MLC Intervening Event, the Mount Logan Board may change the Mount Logan Board recommendation in favor of the MLC Matters to Mount Logan’s shareholders in response to such MLC Intervening Event. In such case, 180 Degree Capital may terminate the Merger Agreement subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, and Mount Logan would be required to reimburse 180 Degree Capital for its expenses incurred in connection with the Business Combination in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.

180 Degree Capital Recommendation
If, prior to the time at which the TURN Requisite Vote is obtained in respect of the TURN Matters, (i) 180 Degree Capital receives a bona fide unsolicited Takeover Proposal from a third party and (ii) the 180 Degree Capital Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisors, that such Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a TURN Superior Proposal, then 180 Degree Capital may engage in discussions and negotiations with such third party so long as certain notice and other procedural requirements are satisfied.
Upon making a determination that a Takeover Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to result in a TURN Superior Proposal, 180 Degree Capital must provide written notice to Mount Logan, within twenty-four (24) hours of such determination, advising Mount Logan that (a) the 180 Degree Capital Board has received a TURN Superior Proposal, (b) specifying, in reasonable detail, the material terms and conditions of such TURN Superior Proposal, and including (to the extent available) a copy of the definitive written agreement or other materials with respect to such TURN Superior Proposal, and (c) identifying the Person making such TURN Superior Proposal. Thereafter, 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan will cooperate and negotiate in good faith (to the extent Mount Logan desires to negotiate) during the five (5) calendar day period (subject to certain extensions) following receipt of such notice to make adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement such that the 180 Degree Capital Board would be able to determine that such TURN Superior Proposal is no longer a TURN Superior Proposal and proceed with the continued recommendation of the TURN Matters to 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders.
If, prior to the time at which the TURN Requisite Vote is obtained in respect of the TURN Matters and following the five (5) calendar day period above, the 180 Degree Capital Board determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, after consultation with its outside counsel and financial advisor and after giving effect to any proposed adjustments to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, that such TURN Superior Proposal remains a TURN Superior Proposal, and that the continued recommendation of the TURN Matters to 180 Degree Capital shareholders would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the standard of conduct and duties applicable to the directors of 180 Degree Capital under applicable Law as a result of a TURN Superior Proposal, the 180 Degree Capital Board may make a TURN Adverse Recommendation Change or TURN may terminate the Merger Agreement and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such TURN Superior Proposal, subject to compliance with the terms of the Merger Agreement and the reimbursement of expenses incurred by Mount Logan in connection with the Business Combination in an amount not to exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate.

If, following this five (5) calendar day period, the 180 Degree Capital Board determines, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the continued recommendation of the TURN Matters to 180 Degree Capital shareholders, after taking into account any adjustments made by Mount Logan in respect of such TURN Intervening Event would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with the standard of conduct and duties applicable to the 180 Degree Capital Board under applicable Law as a result of such TURN Intervening Event, the 180 Degree Capital Board may change the 180 Degree Capital Board recommendation in favor of the TURN Matters to 180 Degree Capital’s shareholders in response to such TURN Intervening Event.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of both Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital, which are included elsewhere in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. See “Index to Financial Statements.”

180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan have performed an analysis of the various reorganization steps to effectuate the Business Combination between 180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan including creation of New Mount Logan. At the completion of the Mergers:

180 Degree Capital becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan through its merger with TURN Merger Sub, in which 180 Degree Capital is the surviving business;
Mount Logan becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan through its merger with Moose Merger Sub LLC, in which Mount Logan is surviving business;
180 Degree Capital and Mount Logan become wholly-owned legal subsidiaries of New Mount Logan.

While New Mount Logan will be the legal acquiror of Mount Logan, for accounting purposes, the transaction will be treated as a reverse acquisition and accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, Business Combinations. This determination is primarily based on the fact that, subsequent to the consummation of the transaction, former Mount Logan equity holders will have a majority of the voting rights of the combined company, former Mount Logan equity holders will have the ability to nominate a majority of the members of the board of directors of the combined company, and Mount Logan senior management will comprise the senior management roles of New Mount Logan, including the roles of Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer, and be responsible for the day-to-day operations. As such, New Mount Logan, including 180 Degree Capital as a wholly-owned subsidiary of New Mount Logan, will be treated as the “acquired” company for accounting purposes.

Accordingly, for financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of Mount Logan will be stated at historical carrying values and its consolidated financial statements will be presented as the predecessor to the combined company in the historical financial statements following the consummation of the transaction. The assets and liabilities of 180 Degree Capital will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. If such excess exists based on preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, goodwill will be recognized in this transaction. The results of 180 Degree Capital will be presented within the consolidated results of Mount Logan from the date of acquisition going forward.

The final allocation of the purchase price will be determined after the Mergers are completed and after completion of a final analysis to determine the estimated relative fair values of each of 180 Degree Capital’s and Mount Logan’s assets and liabilities. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets, commitments and other items of either 180 Degree Capital or Mount Logan, as applicable, as compared to the information shown in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, may occur. Accordingly, the final adjustments may be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the transaction as follows:

The historical unaudited consolidated balance sheet of New Mount Logan as of March 31, 2025, and the historical unaudited statement of assets and liabilities of 180 Degree Capital as of March 31, 2025, adjusted to conform to that of the statement of financial position of Mount Logan on a pro forma basis depicting the accounting for the business combination and related transactions.

The historical audited consolidated statement of operations of 180 Degree Capital for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, and historical unaudited interim consolidated statement of
180

operations as of March 31, 2025, adjusted to conform to that of the historical consolidated statement of operations presentation of Mount Logan on a pro forma basis assuming the business combination and related transactions had been consummated on January 1, 2024 (i.e., the beginning of the earliest period presented). New Mount Logan did not have operations during the audit period of January 7, 2025 (inception) to February 7, 2025 or the unaudited interim period of January 7, 2025 (inception) to March 31, 2025.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X” (“Article 11 of Regulation S-X”).

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not necessarily indicate the results of operations or the combined financial position that would have resulted had the Business Combination been completed at the beginning of the applicable period presented, nor the impact of expense efficiencies, asset dispositions, dividends and other factors.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(all amounts are in thousands)

Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of New Mount Logan, Mount Logan and 180 Degree Capital. The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of March 31, 2025 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated as of that date. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 and three-month period ended March 31, 2025, give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred as of the beginning of the earliest period presented, respectively.

The transaction is being accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, and accordingly, the allocation of the preliminary estimated purchase price is based upon management’s estimates of and assumptions related to the fair value of assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed as of March 31, 2025, using currently available information. Due to the fact that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final purchase price allocation and the resulting effect on New Mount Logan’s financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts included herein. New Mount Logan expects to finalize its allocation of the purchase consideration as soon as practicable after completion of the Business Combination.

The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change due to several factors, including, but not limited to:

the final amount of TURN Transaction Expenses of 180 Degree Capital that will impact the merger consideration received by holders of TURN Common Shares;

changes in the estimated fair value of 180 Degree Capital’s assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the Closing, which could result from changes in the fair values of its investment holdings and its post-retirement plan liabilities, and others;

the tax bases of 180 Degree Capital’s assets and liabilities as of the Closing; and

the risk factors described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 37.

The preliminary fair value assessment of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed expected to be recorded if the Business Combination was completed on March 31, 2025, is as follows:

180 Degree Capital Corp. Net Asset Value as of March 31, 2025$44,220 
Business Combination-related expenses(1)
(1,817)
Total estimated purchase price42,404

Non-controlled affiliated legacy privately held equity and equity-related securities75 
Unaffiliated derivative securities327 
Non-controlled affiliated derivative securities26 
Unaffiliated rights to payments70

1,817 
Post-retirement plan liabilities345 
Amounts attributable to liabilities assumed5,888 
Total identifiable net assets40,387 
Goodwill$2,017 

(1) Business Combination-related expenses reflect those estimated expenses incurred by 180 Degree Capital that are not included in net asset value as of March 31, 2025, and would reduce the merger consideration of holders of TURN Common Shares as part of the Business Combination pursuant to the Merger Agreement rather than a pro forma adjustment of the combined business.

Note 2 - Reclassification Adjustments

The following reclassification adjustments have been made to conform 180 Degree Capital’s historical financial information to Mount Logan’s financial statement presentation.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

(a)Represents the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s $6 million of shares of money-market funds to New Mount Logan’s Cash and Cash Equivalents.

(b)Represents the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s investments in securities and other financial instruments, at value, separated into categories based on type of investment and voting ownership to New Mount Logan’s Investments. There are no material differences anticipated between the critical accounting policies of 180 Degree Capital and New Mount Logan, including with respect to the valuation of investments.

(c)Represents the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s Total distributable earnings (loss) to New Mount Logan’s Retained earnings.

(d)As a CEF, 180 Degree Capital reports net asset value and net asset value per share on its consolidated statement of assets and liabilities. New Mount Logan will not be a CEF, and therefore Net asset value would be reported as Total equity and the sum of Net asset value and Total liabilities would be New Mount Logan’s Total liabilities and equity. Additionally, there is no equivalent reporting of Net asset value per share on New Mount Logan’s financial statements and therefore no reclassification is made.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations:

(e)Represents the reclassification of fees received from the service of an employee of 180 Degree Capital on the board of directors of a portfolio company of 180 Degree Capital to New Mount Logan’s Other revenue.

(g)Reflects the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s interest income earned from securities of money market funds to New Mount Logan’s Investment income (Loss) - Asset Management.

(h)Reflects the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s operating expenses that are reported in separate line items to New Mount Logan’s General, administrative and other.

(i)Reflects the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s net realized (loss) gain from investments separated into categories based on type of investment and voting ownership to New Mount Logan’s Net gains (losses) from investment activities.

(j)Reflects the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s reporting of Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments separated into categories based on type of investment and voting ownership to New Mount Logan’s Net gains (losses) from investment activities.

(k)Reflects the reclassification of 180 Degree Capital’s reporting of Total investment income (loss) before and after taxes to New Mount Logan’s Net income before and after taxes.

(l)As a CEF, 180 Degree Capital reports net decrease in net assets resulting from operations on its consolidated statement of operations. New Mount Logan will not be a CEF, and therefore this line item will not be part of its consolidated statement of operations.

Note 3 - Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments and reclassifications included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statement information are as follows:

(A)Goodwill, representing the excess of the purchase price paid over 180 Degree Capital’s preliminary estimates of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, has been recorded.

(B)Accounts payable has been adjusted to reflect Business Combination-related expenses as follows:

Change in control and severance agreement$2,017 
Portion of retention bonuses payable post-March 31, 2025208

Mount Logan estimated business-combination expenses post-March 31, 2025770 
Net change in accounts payable$4,604 

(C)The adjustment to total equity reflects the elimination of 180 Degree Capital’s historical equity and the contribution of the merger consideration to 180 Degree Capital shareholders as described below.

180 Degree Capital estimated business-combination expenses post-March 31, 2025$1,609,026

Mount Logan estimated business-combination expenses post-December 31, 20245,613,346 

(E)The adjustment reflects the approximate severance payments and retention bonuses that would be acquisition costs due to certain employees of 180 Degree Capital upon Closing. See “Interests of 180 Directors and Executive Officers in the Mergers” for more information.

INTERESTS OF MOUNT LOGAN DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS IN THE MERGERS

The Mount Logan directors and executive officers may have certain interests in the Mergers that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of MLC Shareholders generally. The members of the Mount Logan Board were aware of and considered these interests in reaching the determination to approve the Merger Agreement and recommend to the MLC shareholders that they vote to approve the Arrangement Resolution and the MLC Merger Resolution at the MLC Special Meeting. Mount Logan’s directors and executive officers for purposes of the discussion below are Edward Goldthorpe (Director and Chief Executive Officer), Nikita Klassen (Chief Financial Officer), Henry Wang (Co-President), Matthias Ederer (Co-President), David Held (Chief Compliance Officer), Sabrina Liak (Director), Perry Dellelce (Director), David Allen (Director), Buckley Ratchford (Director) and Rudolph Reinfrank (Director). Other than the interests and benefits described below, none of Mount Logan’s directors and executive officers or, to the knowledge of Mount Logan’s directors or executive officers, any of their respective associates or affiliates, has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon in connection with the Mergers that would materially affect the Mergers.

Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe is expected to serve as Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of New Mount Logan. Henry Wang, Nikita Klassen and David Held are expected to serve as executive officers of New Mount Logan. Such individuals may enter into new individualized compensation arrangements and may participate in cash or equity incentive (including the 2025 Plan) or other benefit plans to be maintained by New Mount Logan. As of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, no compensation arrangements between such persons and New Mount Logan have been established.

All of the benefits received, or to be received, by Mount Logan’s directors or executive officers as a result of the Mergers are, and will be, solely in connection with their services as Mount Logan directors or executive officers. No benefit has been, or will be, conferred for the purpose of increasing the value of consideration payable to any such person for the Mount Logan Shares held by such persons and no consideration is, or will be, conditional on the person supporting the Mergers.

MLC RSU and MLC DEU Acceleration

Certain Mount Logan directors and executive officers were granted MLC RSUs and MLC DEUs pursuant to the MLC PR Plan. Prior to the MLC Merger and in connection with the MLC Domestication, each MLC RSU will be deemed to be an MLC Delaware RSU, and each MLC DEU will be deemed to be an MLC Delaware DEU. In accordance with the Merger Agreement, following the MLC Domestication but prior to the MLC Merger, all outstanding MLC Delaware RSUs and MLC Delaware DEUs will become fully vested, with the respective Mount Logan directors and executive officers ultimately receiving shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock for their MLC Delaware Units issued upon such vesting.

The chart below sets forth, as of July 8, 2025, for each Mount Logan director and executive officer, as applicable: (1) the number of MLC RSUs held by each such director or executive officer; (2) the number of MLC DEUs held by each such director or executive officer; (3) the value of the consideration related to the MLC RSUs to be received as a result of the Business Combination; and (4) the value of the consideration related to the MLC DEUs to be received as a result of the Business Combination. The chart below assumes no MLC RSUs and MLC DEUs are settled between July 8, 2025 and the Effective Time.

Certain 180 Degree Capital executive officers are party to change in control and severance agreements with 180 Degree Capital that provide for severance benefits upon a qualifying termination, including enhanced severance benefits for certain officers if such termination occurs within the period beginning three months prior to, and ending 12 months following, a change in control (“Change in Control Period”).
Under the change in control and severance agreements, if an executive officer’s (other than Ms. Gift’s) employment is terminated by 180 Degree Capital without cause (excluding termination due to death or disability) or if the executive officer resigns for good reason (as defined in the applicable agreement), and such termination occurs outside of the Change of Control Period, the executive officer will be entitled to receive: (i) accrued compensation, including wages, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due under company-provided plans and policies; (ii) severance payments equal to 12 months of the executive officer’s base salary, paid in periodic installments in accordance with the company’s normal payroll schedule; (iii) a pro-rata portion of the executive officer’s incentive compensation for the fiscal year of termination, provided that such payment is subject to the achievement of the applicable performance metrics under the incentive plan; and (iv) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months, subject to earlier termination upon the executive officer obtaining similar coverage elsewhere or becoming eligible for Medicare. Ms. Gift is not entitled to the foregoing severance benefits and would be eligible for severance only if terminated without cause during the Change in Control Period (as described below).
If an executive officer’s termination under these same circumstances occurs during the Change in Control Period, the executive officer will be eligible to receive: (i) accrued compensation, including wages, expense reimbursements, and other benefits due under company-provided plans and policies; (ii) a lump-sum severance payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to 12 months of annual base salary, payable no later than 74 days following termination; provided, however, that for executives (other than Ms. Gift) if the executive’s employment terminated prior to the Change in Control. The portion of severance (if any) that is not exempt from Section 409A of the Code will be paid in installments as described above and, the lump-sum amount will be reduced by the amount payable in installments; (iii) a pro-rata portion of the executive officer’s incentive compensation based on a target minimum annual cash compensation including base salary of $831,000 and $728,000 for Mr. Rendino and Mr. Wolfe, respectively, and minimum annual bonus of $50,000 for Ms. Gift, and payable either upon the first payroll after the release deadline or at the originally scheduled time under the incentive plan, depending on applicable tax requirements, (iv) reimbursement of COBRA premiums for up to 12 months, subject to earlier termination upon the executive officer obtaining similar coverage elsewhere or becoming eligible for Medicare.
No severance benefits will be provided if an executive officer voluntarily resigns, except in the case of resignation for good reason (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not apply to Ms. Gift), or is terminated for cause. Similarly, no severance benefits will be provided for terminations due to death or disability.
The receipt of severance payments and benefits is contingent on the executive officer signing and not revoking a release of claims in favor of 180 Degree Capital. Certain severance payments considered “deferred compensation” under Section 409A may also be subject to a six-month delay if required under Section 409A of the Code.
In the event that severance or other benefits constitute parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code and would trigger excise taxes under Section 4999, such benefits will either be paid in full or reduced to $1 below the threshold for excise tax liability, whichever results in the greater after-tax benefit for the executive officer. Any required reduction will follow a specified order, and an independent firm will determine the applicable amounts.
199

No amendments or modifications to any executive’s employment agreement were entered into in connection with or in specific contemplation of the transaction.
Retention Bonuses
Messrs. Rendino and Wolfe were awarded retention bonuses equal to 50 percent of each of their base salaries, with half paid upon signing of the Merger Agreement and half payable upon closing of the transaction.
Director and Officer Indemnification and Insurance.
As described in the section entitled “Additional AgreementsIndemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance,” 180 Degree Capital directors and executive officers are entitled to continued indemnification and insurance coverage under the Merger Agreement.
MANAGEMENT OF NEW MOUNT LOGAN

Board of Directors and Executive Officers
New Mount Logan’s business and affairs are managed under the direction of its Board of Directors (the “New Mount Logan Board”). The New Mount Logan Board consists of seven members, six of whom qualify as “independent directors” as defined in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) (each such qualifying director, an “Independent Director”). The New Mount Logan Board appoints New Mount Logan’s officers, who serve at the discretion of the New Mount Logan Board. The responsibilities of the New Mount Logan Board include oversight of the valuation of New Mount Logan’s assets, corporate governance activities, oversight of New Mount Logan’s financing arrangements and oversight of New Mount Logan’s investment activities.

The New Mount Logan Board's role in managing New Mount Logan is one of oversight. Oversight of New Mount Logan’s investment activities extends to oversight of the risk management processes employed by New Mount Logan. The New Mount Logan Board anticipates reviewing risk management processes at both regular and special board meetings throughout the year, consulting with appropriate representatives of the management team of New Mount Logan as necessary and periodically requesting the production of risk management reports or presentations. The goal of the New Mount Logan Board's risk oversight function is to ensure that the risks associated with New Mount Logan’s investment activities are accurately identified, thoroughly investigated and responsibly addressed. Investors should note, however, that the New Mount Logan Board's oversight function cannot eliminate all risks or ensure that particular events do not adversely affect the financial condition and results of operations of New Mount Logan.

The New Mount Logan Board will have an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The scope of each committee's responsibilities is discussed in greater detail below. The New Mount Logan Board may determine to form additional committees in the future.

Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe is expected to serve as Chair of the New Mount Logan Board. The New Mount Logan Board believes that it is in the best interests of New Mount Logan shareholders for Mr. Goldthorpe to serve as Chair of the New Mount Logan Board because Mr. Goldthorpe’s extensive knowledge of and experience in the financial services industry qualify Mr. Goldthorpe to serve as the Chair of the New Mount Logan Board.

In accordance with the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of New Mount Logan and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws, which will be effective upon the completion of the MLC Merger, the New Mount Logan Board will be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible, with the directors in each class serving for a three-year term, and one class being elected each year by New Mount Logan’s stockholders. At each annual meeting of stockholders after the initial classification, the successors to the directors whose terms will then expire will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election. New Mount Logan’s directors will be divided among the three classes as follows:
200


the Class I directors will be Parker Weil and Matthew Westwood, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026;

the Class II directors will be Sabrina Liak and Rudolph Reinfrank, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027; and

the Class III directors will be Edward (Ted) Goldthorpe, David Allen, and Buckley Ratchford, and their terms will expire at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028.

Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of one-third of the directors. This classification of the New Mount Logan Board may have the effect of delaying or preventing changes in control of New Mount Logan.

The New Mount Logan Board believes that its leadership structure is appropriate because the structure allocates areas of responsibility among the individual directors and the committees in a manner that enhances effective oversight. Each director holds office for the term to which he or she is elected or appointed and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

plurality of the votes cast, in person or by proxy, by the holders of shares entitled to vote thereon, at the meeting at which a quorum is present.

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that any director may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause, by vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares entitled to vote generally in the election of directors.

Preferred Stock

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that shares of preferred stock of New Mount Logan may be issued from time to time in one or more series of any number of shares, provided that the aggregate number of shares issued and not retired of any and all such series shall not exceed the total number of shares of preferred stock of New Mount Logan authorized, and with such powers, including voting powers, if any, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof as are stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the New Mount Logan Board providing for the issue of such shares of preferred stock of New Mount Logan. The powers, including voting powers, if any, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of each series of preferred stock of New Mount Logan, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding. The New Mount Logan Board will be able to, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock of New Mount Logan with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of New Mount Logan Common Stock and could have anti-takeover effects. Each series of shares of preferred stock of New Mount Logan: (i) may have such voting rights or powers, full or limited, if any; (ii) may be subject to redemption at such time or times and at such prices, if any; (iii) may be entitled to receive dividends (which may be cumulative or noncumulative) at such rate or rates, on such conditions and at such times, and payable in preference to, or in such relation to, the dividends payable on any other class or classes or series of stock, if any; (iv) may have such rights upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of, upon any distribution of the assets of, or in the event of any merger, sale or consolidation of, New Mount Logan, if any; (v) may be made convertible into or exchangeable for, shares of any other class or classes or of any other series of the same or any other class or classes of stock of New Mount Logan (or any other securities of New Mount Logan) at such price or prices or at such rates of exchange and with such adjustments, if any; (vi) may be entitled to the benefit of a retirement or sinking fund to be applied to the purchase or redemption of shares of such series in such amount or amounts, if any; (vii) may be entitled to the benefit of conditions and restrictions upon the issue of any additional shares (including additional shares of any other series) and upon the payment of dividends or the making of other distributions on, and the purchase, redemption or other acquisition by New Mount Logan or any subsidiary of, any outstanding shares of New Mount Logan, if any; and (viii) may have such other preferences, qualifications, privileges, options and other relative or special rights and
209

limitations, if any; as are stated and expressed in the resolution or resolutions adopted by the New Mount Logan Board providing for the issue of such shares of preferred stock of New Mount Logan.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of Delaware Law, New Mount Logan’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and New Mount Logan’s Amended and Restated By-laws

Provisions of the DGCL, New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws could make it more difficult to acquire New Mount Logan by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise, or to remove incumbent directors. These provisions, summarized below, may have the effect of discouraging certain types of coercive takeover practices and takeover bids that the New Mount Logan Board may consider inadequate and to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of New Mount Logan to first negotiate with the New Mount Logan Board. New Mount Logan believes the benefits of increased protection of New Mount Logan’s Board’s ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure New Mount Logan outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging takeover or acquisition proposals, including because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of the terms of the proposals.

Delaware Anti-Takeover Statute 

New Mount Logan will be subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. Section 203 of the DGCL generally prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” (as each of those terms is defined in Section 203 of the DGCL) for a period of three years following the time that such stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless, among other exclusions:

prior to such time, the board of directors of the corporation approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock outstanding (but not the outstanding voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) those shares (1) owned by persons who are directors and also officers and (2) held in employee stock plans in which employee participants do not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

at or subsequent to such time, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with its affiliates and associates, owns (or within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status did own) 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock.

The existence of Section 203 of the DGCL would be expected to have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by the New Mount Logan Board, including discouraging takeover attempts that might result in a premium over the then-prevailing market price for the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock held by New Mount Logan stockholders.

A Delaware corporation may “opt out” of Section 203 of the DGCL by including a provision expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL in its original certificate of incorporation or in its certificate of incorporation or by-laws resulting from amendments approved by holders of at least a majority of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock. New Mount Logan will not elect to “opt out” of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Size of Board and Vacancies 

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that the New Mount Logan Board will consist of not less than 5 nor more than 11 directors, the actual number to be determined by the New Mount Logan Board from time to time. Upon completion of the MLC Merger, the New Mount Logan Board will consist of 7 directors.

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws will provide for a classified New Mount Logan Board with three-year staggered terms. The directors will be divided into three classes, as nearly equal in number as possible.

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that any vacancies in the New Mount Logan Board, by reason of death, resignation or otherwise (other than a vacancy due to stockholders removing a director for cause), may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, and that vacancies in the New Mount Logan Board as a result of a removal of a director for cause will be filled by the stockholders entitled to vote on the election of the director so removed. In addition, New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that any newly created directorship to be filled by reason of an increase in the number of directors on the New Mount Logan Board may be filled by election by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum.

Special Stockholder Meetings 

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that special meetings of the stockholders for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chief Executive Officer, or pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire board of directors.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent 

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that holders of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock will not be able to act by written consent.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Proposals 

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will establish advance notice procedures for business (including any nominations for director) to be properly brought by a stockholder before an annual or special meeting of New Mount Logan stockholders. In addition, New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will require that, in order to submit a nomination for director, a stockholder must also submit all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies as well as certain other information.

No Cumulative Voting 

The DGCL provides that stockholders of a company are denied the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless the company’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not provide for cumulative voting.

Undesignated Preferred Stock 

The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation will give the New Mount Logan Board the authority to issue preferred stock, which could potentially be used to discourage attempts by third parties to obtain control of New Mount Logan through a merger, tender offer or proxy contest or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly. The New Mount Logan Board may be able to issue preferred stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock.
211


Amendments to Certificate of Incorporation 

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that New Mount Logan reserves the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, in the manner prescribed by applicable law.
 
Amendments to By-laws 

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that the New Mount Logan Board may make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws without the assent or vote of the stockholders. The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that stockholders may, at any annual or special stockholder meeting, duly called and upon proper notice thereof, make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws by the affirmative vote by the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares.

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that such by-laws may be amended, altered or repealed by resolution adopted by a majority of the New Mount Logan Board at any special or regular meeting of the New Mount Logan Board without the assent or vote of the stockholders if, in the case of such special meeting only, notice of such amendment, alteration or repeal is contained in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will further provide that New Mount Logan’s by-laws may be amended, altered, changed, added to or repealed at any annual or special meeting of New Mount Logan stockholders by the affirmative vote by the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares, and in the case of a special meeting only, notice of such amendment, alteration or repeal is contained in the notice or waiver of notice of such meeting.

Limitations on Liability, Indemnification of Officers and Directors and Insurance

The DGCL authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors or officers to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for certain breaches of fiduciary duties as directors or officers, subject to exceptions. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will include such an exculpation provision. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for certain costs and losses for actions taken as New Mount Logan’s director or officer, or for serving at New Mount Logan’s request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be, subject to exceptions and limitations. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will also provide that New Mount Logan must advance reasonable expenses to New Mount Logan directors and officers, subject to New Mount Logan’s receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that New Mount Logan shall purchase and maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to protect New Mount Logan and New Mount Logan’s directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that will be in New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. These provisions may also have the effect of reducing the likelihood of derivative litigation against New Mount Logan’s directors and officers, even though such an action, if successful, might otherwise benefit New Mount Logan and New Mount Logan stockholders. However, these provisions will not limit or eliminate New Mount Logan’s rights, or those of any stockholder, to seek non-monetary relief such as injunction or rescission in the event of a breach of a director’s or and officer’s fiduciary duty of care. The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions that will be in New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will not alter the liability of directors under the federal securities laws. In addition, your investment may be adversely affected to the extent that, in a class action or
212

direct suit, New Mount Logan pays the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers pursuant to these indemnification provisions.

There is currently no pending material litigation or proceeding against New Mount Logan or any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers or employees for which indemnification is sought.

Exclusive Forum

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that unless New Mount Logan consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the state courts of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County will be the sole and exclusive forum for:

any derivative action or proceeding brought on New Mount Logan’s behalf;

any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers, employees or agents to New Mount Logan or New Mount Logan stockholders;

any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws;

any action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws; or

any action asserting a claim against New Mount Logan or any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers, employees, or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine.


However, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction over any such action, the action may be brought instead in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware.

In addition, New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that unless New Mount Logan consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district court for the District of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

These exclusive forum provisions may impose additional costs on stockholders in pursuing any such claims, particularly if the stockholders do not reside in or near the State of Delaware and may limit the ability of a stockholder to bring a claim in a judicial forum that such stockholder finds favorable for disputes with New Mount Logan or any of New Mount Logan directors, officers or stockholders, which may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. New Mount Logan stockholders will not be deemed to have waived New Mount Logan’s compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder as a result of these exclusive forum provisions.

Authorized but Unissued Shares

New Mount Logan’s authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock will be available for future issuance without further vote or action by New Mount Logan stockholders. New Mount Logan may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock could also discourage attempts by third parties to obtain control of New Mount Logan through a merger, tender offer or proxy contest or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly.

DESCRIPTION OF 2025 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN

In connection with the Closing, New Mount Logan intends to adopt the 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2025 Plan”). The 2025 Plan will provide for grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and other cash-based awards. Directors, officers and other employees of New Mount Logan and its subsidiaries, as well as others performing consulting or advisory services for New Mount Logan, will be eligible for grants under the 2025 Plan. The purpose of the 2025 Plan is to provide incentives that will attract, retain and motivate high performing officers, directors, employees and consultants by providing them with appropriate incentives and rewards either through a proprietary interest in New Mount Logan’s long-term success or compensation based on their performance in fulfilling their personal responsibilities. Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the 2025 Plan, qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2025 Plan, which is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus as Annex E.

Administration. The 2025 Plan will be administered by a committee of the New Mount Logan Board comprised of independent directors (the “Administrator”). For this purpose, the role of Administrator for the 2025 Plan will be delegated to the compensation committee of the New Mount Logan Board. Among the Administrator’s powers is to determine the form, amount and other terms and conditions of awards; clarify, construe or resolve any ambiguity in any provision of the 2025 Plan or any award agreement; amend the terms of outstanding awards; and adopt such rules, forms, instruments and guidelines for administering the 2025 Plan as it deems necessary or proper. The Administrator has authority to administer and interpret the 2025 Plan, to grant discretionary awards under the 2025 Plan, to determine the persons to whom awards will be granted, to determine the types of awards to be granted, to determine the terms and conditions of each award, to determine the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock to be covered by each award, to make all other determinations in connection with the 2025 Plan and the awards thereunder as the Administrator deems necessary or desirable and to delegate authority under the 2025 Plan to New Mount Logan’s executive officers; provided that no participant in the 2025 Plan may execute any award agreement granting awards to such participant and any delegation shall be subject to all limitations prescribed by applicable law and/or the rules of any national securities exchange or national securities association, as applicable. To the extent New Mount Logan seeks to obtain the benefit of exemptions available under Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act, the applicable compensation may be approved by “non-employee directors” or “outside directors,” respectively.

Available Shares; Adjustments. The 2025 Plan reserves an aggregate number of 2,600,000 shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock for issuance in accordance with the 2025 Plan’s terms. The aggregate number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock that may be issued or used with respect to any ISO shall not exceed the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2025 Plan (subject to adjustment as provided for in the 2025 Plan). The number of shares available for issuance under the 2025 Plan may be subject to adjustment in the event of any subdivision (by any split, recapitalization or otherwise) or combination (by reverse split, combination or otherwise) of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock, change in the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock by reason of a merger, consolidation, statutory exchange, spin-off, reorganization, sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or business of New Mount Logan or event having an effect substantially similar to the foregoing, or other change in the capital structure of New Mount Logan. In the event of any of these occurrences, the Administrator may make such proportionate adjustments and/or substitutions (if any) as it considers equitable under the circumstances in its sole discretion to, among other things, the number and kind of shares, options or other
214

property available for issuance under the 2025 Plan or covered by grants previously made under the 2025 Plan. The shares available for issuance under the 2025 Plan may be, in whole or in part, either authorized and unissued shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock or shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock held in or acquired for New Mount Logan’s treasury. In general, if awards under the 2025 Plan are for any reason cancelled for any reason (where applicable, without having been exercised in full), settled for cash or unearned (in whole or in part), or expire or terminate unexercised, the shares covered by such awards may again be available for the grant of awards under the 2025 Plan.

Eligibility for Participation. Members of the New Mount Logan Board, as well as employees and officers of, and consultants to, New Mount Logan or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, are eligible to receive awards under the 2025 Plan.

Award Agreement. Awards granted under the 2025 Plan will be evidenced by award agreements, which need not be identical, that provide vesting conditions and forfeiture provisions, terms, conditions, restrictions and/or limitations covering the grant of the award, including, without limitation, additional terms providing for the acceleration of exercisability or vesting of awards in the event of a Change in Control, as defined in the 2025 Plan, or other circumstances determined by the Administrator, and conditions related to the participant’s employment, each as determined by the Administrator.

Stock Options. The Administrator may grant nonqualified stock options to eligible individuals and ISOs only to eligible employees. The Administrator will determine the number of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock subject to each option, the term of each option, which may not exceed 10 years, or five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10 percent stockholder, the exercise price, the vesting schedule and other conditions, and the other material terms of each option. No incentive stock option or, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of grant, nonqualified stock option, may have an exercise price less than the fair market value of a share of New Mount Logan Common Stock at the time of grant or, in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10 percent stockholder, 110% of such share’s fair market value. Options will be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as determined by the Administrator at grant, and the exercisability of such options may be accelerated by the Administrator.

Stock Appreciation Rights. The Administrator may grant stock appreciation rights (“SARs”) either with a stock option, which may be exercised only at such times and to the extent the related stock option is exercisable (a “Tandem SAR”), or independent of a stock option (a “Non-Tandem SAR”). A SAR is a right to receive a payment in shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock or cash, as determined by the Administrator, equal in value to the excess of the fair market value of one share of New Mount Logan Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price per share established in connection with the grant of the SAR. The term of each SAR may not exceed 10 years. The exercise price per share covered by a SAR will be the exercise price per share of the related stock option in the case of a Tandem SAR and will be the fair market value of a share of New Mount Logan Common Stock on the date of grant in the case of a Non-Tandem SAR. The Administrator may also grant limited SARs, either as Tandem SARs or Non-Tandem SARs, which may become exercisable only upon the occurrence of a Change in Control or such other event as the Administrator may designate at the time of grant or thereafter.

Restricted Stock. The Administrator may award shares of restricted stock. Except as otherwise provided in an award agreement, the recipient generally has the rights of a stockholder with respect to shares of restricted stock, including the right to receive dividends, the right to vote the shares of restricted stock and, conditioned upon vesting of the applicable shares of restricted stock, the right to tender such shares, subject to the conditions and restrictions generally applicable to restricted stock or specifically set forth in the recipient’s restricted stock agreement. Unless provided otherwise in an award agreement, the payment of dividends, if any, will be deferred until the expiration of the applicable restriction period or the attainment of any applicable performance goals, in each case subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying shares of restricted stock.

Recipients of restricted stock will be required to enter into a restricted stock agreement with New Mount Logan that states the restrictions to which the shares are subject, which may include service requirements and/or
215

satisfaction of pre-established performance goals, and the criteria or date or dates on which such restrictions will lapse.

If the grant of restricted stock or the lapse of the relevant restrictions is based on the attainment of performance goals, the Administrator will establish for each recipient the applicable performance goals, formulae or standards and the applicable vesting percentages with reference to the attainment of such goals or satisfaction of such formulae or standards while the outcome of the performance goals are substantially uncertain. Such performance goals may incorporate provisions for disregarding, or adjusting for, changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions, including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions, and other similar events or circumstances. The performance goals for performance-based restricted stock generally may be based on one or more of the objective criteria set forth in the 2025 Plan.

Other Stock-Based Awards. The Administrator may, subject to limitations under applicable law, make a grant of such other stock-based awards, including, without limitation, performance stock units, dividend equivalent units, stock equivalent units, restricted stock units and deferred stock units under the 2025 Plan that are payable in cash or denominated or payable in or valued by shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock or factors that influence the value of such shares. The Administrator may determine the terms and conditions of any such other awards, which may include the achievement of certain minimum performance goals and/or a minimum service period. The performance goals for performance-based other stock-based awards generally may be based on one or more of the objective criteria set forth in the 2025 Plan and discussed in general below. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, the payment of dividends, if any, will be deferred until the attainment of the vesting of the underlying award and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying award.

Other Cash-Based Awards. The Administrator may grant awards payable in cash. Cash-based awards will be in such form, and dependent on such conditions, as the Administrator will determine, including, without limitation, being subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions or being awarded as a discretionary bonus that is not subject to restrictions or conditions. If a cash-based award is subject to vesting conditions, the Administrator may accelerate the vesting of such award in its discretion.

Performance Awards. The Administrator may grant a performance award to a participant payable upon the attainment of specific performance goals. If the performance award is payable in cash, it may be paid upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals or, if applicable, upon any continuous service requirement following the attainment of the relevant performance goals, either in cash or in shares of restricted stock, based on the then current fair market value of such shares, as determined by the Administrator. If the performance award is payable in shares of restricted stock, the shares will be transferrable to the participant only upon the attainment of the relevant performance goals, or in combination with any continuous service requirement. Based on service, performance and/or other factors or criteria, the Administrator may, at or after grant, accelerate the vesting of all or any part of any performance award. Unless otherwise provided in an award agreement, the payment of dividends, if any, will be deferred until the attainment of the relevant performance goals and subject to the same restrictions on transferability and forfeitability as the underlying performance award.

Minimum Vesting Period. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2025 Plan, awards granted under the 2025 Plan may not become vested, in whole or in part, prior to the one-year anniversary of the date of grant, except that: (i) such limitation shall not apply to awards granted for up to an aggregate of five percent (5%) of the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock available under the 2025 Plan, (ii) such limitation shall not apply to awards made to non-employee directors and (iii) the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, accelerate the vesting of awards subject to such limitation in the event of a Change in Control or upon the participant’s death, disability, termination without cause or termination for good reason or similar term, if applicable.

Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control (as defined under the 2025 Plan), except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator in an award agreement, awards will be treated in accordance with one or more of the following methods as determined by the Administrator: (1) awards, whether or not then vested, shall be continued, assumed, or have new rights substituted therefor, as determined by the Administrator in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and restrictions to which shares of restricted stock or
216

any other award granted prior to the Change in Control are subject shall not lapse upon a Change in Control and the restricted stock or other award shall, where appropriate in the sole discretion of the Administrator, receive the same distribution as other common stock on such terms as determined by the Administrator; provided that the Administrator may decide to award additional restricted stock or other awards in lieu of any cash distribution; (2) awards may be purchased for an amount of cash, securities or other property equal to the excess (if any) of the highest price per share of New Mount Logan Common Stock paid in any transaction related to a Change in Control of New Mount Logan with respect to the shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock covered by such awards, over the applicable exercise price per share (if any) under such awards, provided that any cash or other consideration payable upon the purchase of such awards may be subject to vesting terms substantially similar to those that applied to such awards immediately prior to the Change in Control and/or earn-out, escrow, indemnification, holdback or similar arrangements, to the extent such arrangements are applicable to consideration paid to other equity holders of New Mount Logan in connection with the Change in Control; or (3) all outstanding and unexercised stock options, stock appreciation rights or any other stock-based award that provides for a participant elected exercise may be terminated by delivering notice of termination to each participant at least twenty (20) days prior to the date of consummation of the Change in Control, in which case during the period from the date on which such notice of termination is delivered to the consummation of the Change in Control, each such participant shall have the right to exercise in full all of such participant’s awards that are then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on exercisability otherwise contained in the award agreements), but any such exercise shall be contingent on the occurrence of the Change in Control, and, provided that, if the Change in Control does not take place within a specified period after giving such notice for any reason whatsoever, the notice and exercise pursuant thereto shall be null and void.

Stockholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in the applicable award agreement, and with respect to an award of restricted stock, a participant has no rights as a stockholder with respect to shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock covered by any award until the participant becomes the record holder of such shares.

Amendment and Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision of the 2025 Plan, the New Mount Logan Board may at any time amend any or all of the provisions of the 2025 Plan and/or awards granted thereunder, or suspend or terminate the Plan and awards thereunder entirely, retroactively or otherwise, subject to stockholder approval in certain instances (as set forth in the 2025 Plan); provided, however, that, unless otherwise required by law or specifically provided in the 2025 Plan, the rights of a participant with respect to awards granted prior to such amendment, suspension or termination may not be adversely affected without the consent of such participant. The Administrator may amend the terms of any outstanding award, prospectively or retroactively, provided that no such amendment will impair the rights of any participant without the consent of such participant. Unless earlier terminated by the New Mount Logan Board, the 2025 Plan will automatically terminate on the tenth anniversary of the date it is approved by shareholders and no award shall be granted under the 2025 Plan on or after that date.

Transferability. Awards granted under the 2025 Plan generally are nontransferable, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that the Administrator may provide for the transferability of nonqualified stock options at the time of grant or thereafter to certain family members.

Recoupment of Awards. The 2025 Plan provides that awards granted under the 2025 Plan are subject to the Mount Logan Capital, Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy that New Mount Logan will have in place at the consummation of the Mergers and to any and all forfeiture and recoupment policies that New Mount Logan has or may in the future have in place, whether required by the Exchange Act, Nasdaq listing standards, applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, or otherwise.

Effective Date; Term. The 2025 Plan is expected to be adopted by the New Mount Logan Board post-Closing before any grants or issuances are made thereunder, subject to approval by the 180 Degree Capital shareholders at the 180 Degree Capital Special Meeting. No award will be granted under the 2025 Plan on or after the 10-year anniversary of the 2025 Plan. Any award outstanding under the 2025 Plan at the time of termination will remain in effect until such award is exercised or has expired in accordance with its terms.

217

Following the Closing, New Mount Logan intends to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the New Mount Logan Common Stock issuable under the 2025 Plan.

Certain United States Federal Income Tax Aspects

Federal income tax consequences relating to awards under the 2025 Plan are summarized in the following discussion. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other considerations, does not describe the deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code to the extent an award is subject to and does not satisfy those rules, nor does it describe employment tax or state, local or international tax consequences.

For non-qualified stock options, New Mount Logan is generally entitled to deduct, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code (as described below), and the optionee will recognize taxable income in, an amount equal to the difference between the option exercise price and the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise. For ISOs, New Mount Logan is generally not entitled to a deduction, nor does the participant recognize income at the time of exercise. The current U.S. federal income tax consequences of other awards authorized under the 2025 Plan generally follow certain basic patterns: SARs are taxed and deductible in substantially the same manner as non-qualified stock options; nontransferable restricted stock subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture results in income recognition equal to the excess of the fair market value over the price paid (if any) only at the time the restrictions lapse (unless the recipient elects to accelerate recognition as of the date of grant); bonuses are generally subject to income tax at the time of payment; cash-based awards are generally subject to income tax at the time of payment; and compensation otherwise effectively deferred is subject to income tax when paid. Mount Logan will generally have a corresponding deduction at the time the participant recognizes income, subject to Code limitations. However, as discussed above, for those awards subject to incentive stock option treatment, New Mount Logan would generally have no corresponding compensation deduction.

If an award is accelerated under the 2025 Plan in connection with a change in control (as this term is used under the Code), New Mount Logan may not be permitted to deduct the portion of the compensation attributable to the acceleration if it exceeds certain threshold limits under the Code (and certain related excise taxes may be triggered). Furthermore, Section 162(m) of the Code denies deductions to publicly held corporations for compensation paid to certain senior executives that exceeds $1 million.

New Plan Benefits

Awards are subject to the discretion of the Administrator. Therefore, it is not possible to determine the benefits that will be received in the future by participants in the 2025 Plan.

COMPARISON OF MOUNT LOGAN SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

This section describes the material differences between the rights of holders of MLC Common Shares under the OBCA, the articles of amalgamation of Mount Logan, as amended, and the amended and restated by-laws of Mount Logan, prior to the completion of the Mergers, and the rights of holders of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock. Mount Logan is existing under the laws of the Province of Ontario and New Mount Logan is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The differences between the rights of MLC Shareholders and New Mount Logan stockholders primarily result from differences between the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of the State of Delaware, as well as differences between the organizational documents of Mount Logan and New Mount Logan. As a result of the Mergers, holders of MLC Common Shares who receive MLC Merger Consideration in respect of their MLC Common Shares (as momentarily replaced by MLC Delaware Units upon completion of the MLC Domestication) will become holders of New Mount Logan Common Stock. As a result, following the Mergers and the MLC Domestication, the rights of MLC Shareholders who become New Mount Logan stockholders in the Mergers will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and will also then be governed by the New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws.

218

This section does not include a complete description of all differences between the rights of MLC Shareholders and New Mount Logan stockholders, nor does it include a complete description of the specific rights referred to below. Furthermore, the description of some of the differences in the rights in this section is not intended to indicate that other differences that may be equally important do not exist. In addition, this section does not include a comparison of the differences between the rights of holders of MLC Common Shares and the rights of holders of MLC Delaware Stock and, subsequently, MLC Delaware Units (each of which will exist for a moment in time in connection with the MLC Domestication and before completion of the Mergers), but rather a comparison of the rights of holders of the MLC Common Shares directly to the rights of holders of the New Mount Logan Common Stock to be issued to holders of MLC Delaware Units upon completion of the Mergers. All Mount Logan stockholders are urged to read carefully the relevant provisions of the OBCA and DGCL, as well as each company’s organizational documents. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant provisions of the OBCA and DGCL, as well as the full text of the Mount Logan articles of amalgamation (as amended), the Mount Logan by-laws (as amended and restated), the Mount Logan governance guidelines, the New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws and the New Mount Logan corporate governance guidelines.

Quorum and Adjournment of Shareholder Meetings
The OBCA permits the holders of not less than 5% of the issued shares of a corporation that carry the right to vote at a meeting to require the directors to call and hold a meeting of the shareholders of the corporation for the purposes stated in the requisition. Subject to certain exceptions, if the directors fail to provide notice of a meeting within 21 days of receiving the requisition, any shareholder who signed the requisition may call the meeting.

The Mount Logan by-laws provide that at any meeting of the shareholders, two persons present, and holding or representing by proxy not less than 5% of the total number of the issued shares of Mount Logan then entitled to vote, shall constitute a quorum for all purposes, except as otherwise provided by law or the articles.

The Mount Logan by-laws also provide that any meeting of shareholders may be adjourned by the chairman with the consent of the meeting. If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned for less than 30 days, it is not necessary to give notice of the adjourned meeting, other than by announcement at the earliest meeting that is adjourned. If a meeting of shareholders is adjourned by one or more adjournments for an aggregate of 30 days or more, notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given as for an original meeting.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that holders of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares of stock of New Mount Logan entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, present in person or by proxy, constitutes a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders for the transaction of business, except as otherwise provided by law or by the New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that the chairperson of the stockholder meeting or the holders of record of more than 50% of the shares of stock of New Mount Logan entitled to vote at a meeting of the stockholders shall have the power to adjourn such meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after such adjournment a new record date for the adjourned meeting is fixed pursuant to the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws, a notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. If the stockholder meeting is adjourned by the stockholders, the resumption of such stockholder meeting shall occur at such time and place as shall be determined by a vote of the holders of record of more than 50% of the then outstanding shares entitled to vote at such meeting of the stockholders.

Number of Directors and Composition of Board of Directors
The OBCA requires a minimum of three directors for a public corporation, but requires that at least one-third of those directors not be officers or employees of the corporation or its affiliates.

Where a minimum and maximum number of directors of a corporation is provided for in its articles, the number of directors of the corporation and the number of directors to be elected at the annual meeting of the shareholders shall be such number as shall be determined from time to time by special resolution or, if the special resolution empowers the directors to determine the number, by resolution of the directors. Where such special resolution has been passed, the directors may not, between meetings of shareholders, appoint an additional director if, after such appointment, the total number of directors would be greater than one and one-third times the number of directors required to have been elected at the last annual meeting of shareholders.

The Mount Logan by-laws provide that the number of directors shall be the number as specified in the articles or, where a minimum and maximum number of directors is provided for in the articles, the number of directors shall be the number of directors determined from time to time by special resolution or, if a special resolution empowers the directors to determine the number, the number of directors determined by resolution of the board.
The DGCL provides that the board of directors of a corporation must consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that the number of directors will be fixed from time to time exclusively pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the entire board of directors, but shall consist of not less than five (5) Directors nor more than eleven (11) Directors.

Election of Directors
Under the OBCA, unless expressly elected for a stated term, each director ceases to hold office at the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following their election. However, if directors are not elected at a meeting of shareholders, the incumbent directors continue in office until successors are elected. The shareholders of a corporation shall, by ordinary resolution at each annual meeting at which an election of directors is required, elect directors to hold office for a term ending not later than the close of the third annual meeting of shareholders following the election. If a director is appointed or elected to fill a vacancy, that director holds office for the unexpired term of the director’s predecessor.

The Mount Logan by-laws provide that the election of directors shall take place at the first meeting of shareholders and at each succeeding annual meeting of shareholders and all the directors then in office shall retire but, if qualified, shall be eligible for re-election. The number of directors to be elected at any such meeting shall be the number of directors as specified in the articles or, if a minimum and maximum number of directors is provided for in the articles, the number of directors determined by special resolution or, if the special resolution empowers the directors to determine the number, the number of directors determined by resolution of the board.
The DGCL generally provides that directors shall be elected at an annual meeting called for that purpose.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that directors shall be elected at each annual meeting of the stockholders. In an uncontested election of directors at any meeting of the stockholders, a nominee for director shall be elected to the board of directors by receiving a higher number of shares voting “for” such director as compared to the number of votes cast “against” that director (with “abstentions” and “broker nonvotes” not counted as a vote cast either for or against such nominee’s election). In a contested election of directors at any meeting of stockholders, each director will be elected by a plurality of the votes validly cast at such election. If directors are to be so elected by a plurality of the votes validly cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee.

Removal of Directors; Filling Vacancies on the Board of Directors
Under the OBCA, subject to the articles of the corporation and certain exceptions, a vacancy among the directors may be filled by a quorum of directors except when the vacancy results from an increase in the number or the maximum number of directors or from failure to elect the number of directors required to be elected at any meeting of shareholders. Each director not elected for an expressly stated term ceases to hold office at the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders following his or her election unless their office is vacated earlier.

Subject to the OBCA, MLC Shareholders may by ordinary resolution passed at a meeting specially called for such purpose remove any director from office and the vacancy created by such removal may be filled at the same meeting failing which it may be filled by a quorum of the directors. A quorum of the board may fill a vacancy in the board, except a vacancy resulting from an increase in the number or maximum number of directors or from a failure of the shareholders to elect the number of directors required to be elected at any meeting of shareholders.

In the absence of a quorum of the board, or if the vacancy has arisen from a failure of the shareholders to elect the number of directors required to be elected at any meeting of shareholders, the directors then in office shall forthwith call a special meeting of shareholders to fill the vacancy. If the directors then in office fail to call such meeting or if there are no directors then in office, any shareholder may call the meeting.
Under the DGCL, the directors of a corporation may, by the certificate of incorporation or by an initial by-law, be divided into one, two or three classes.

Under the DGCL, any director or the entire board of directors may be removed, with or without cause, by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote at an election of directors, except as follows: (1) unless the certificate of incorporation otherwise provides, in the case of a corporation whose board is classified, stockholders may effect such removal only for cause or (2) in the case of a corporation having cumulative voting, if less than the entire board is to be removed, no director may be removed without cause if the votes cast against such director’s removal would be sufficient to elect such director if then cumulatively voted at an election of the entire board of directors, or, if there be classes of directors, at an election of the class of directors of which such director is a part.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that subject to the rights, if any, of the holders of Preferred Stock, directors shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II, and Class III, with the number of directors in each class to be as nearly equal in number as possible. Directors of Class I shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2026, directors of Class II shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2027 and directors of Class III shall be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2028. At each succeeding annual meeting of stockholders following such initial classification and election, the respective successors of each class shall be elected for 3-year terms.
224

MLC Shareholders
New Mount Logan Stockholders
Pursuant to the DGCL and the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws, any director may be removed at any time, but only for cause upon the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding stock of New Mount Logan entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock of New Mount Logan, any vacancy in the board of directors caused by any such removal by the stockholders shall be filled at such meeting by the stockholders entitled to vote for the election of the director so removed.

If any vacancies occur in the board of directors of New Mount Logan, by reason of death, resignation or otherwise (other than stockholder removal for cause), or if the authorized number of directors shall be increased, the directors then in office shall continue to act and such vacancies and newly created directorships may be filled by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum. A director elected to fill a vacancy shall hold office until the next election of the class of directors for which such director has been chosen and until his or her successor has been elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Director Nominations by Shareholders
The Mount Logan by-laws allow shareholders to nominate a candidate (or candidates) for election to the Mount Logan board, provided the stockholders comply with the procedures, and are eligible stockholders, as set forth in the Mount Logan by-laws.

The Mount Logan by-laws require that, in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, written notice of the nomination be provided to Mount Logan’s Secretary not less than 30 days before the date of such meeting; provided, however, that (A) if the meeting is called for a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first notice to the shareholders or first public announcement of the date of the meeting was made, notice by the nominating shareholder shall be made not less than the close of business on the 10th day after the meeting notice date; and (B) if the Corporation uses “notice-and-access” (as defined in 54-101) to send proxy-related materials to shareholders in connection with a meeting, notice must be received not less than 40 days before the date of the meeting. In the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not an annual and special meeting), called for the purpose of electing directors, written notice of the nomination must be provided to Mount Logan’s Secretary not later than the close of business on the 15th day after the meeting notice date.

In order for a nomination for director to be considered, the nomination notice must include, as to each nominee (if applicable) and the nominating shareholder, the information required by Mount Logan by-laws.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws allow stockholders to nominate a candidate (or candidates) for election to the New Mount Logan board, provided the stockholder (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of providing the notice of nomination, on the record date for the determination of stockholders of New Mount Logan entitled to vote at the meeting and at the time of the annual meeting; (ii) is entitled to vote at such meeting; and (iii) complies with the notice provisions set forth in the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws require that to be timely, a stockholder’s notice for the nomination of persons for election to the board of directors must be delivered and received by the Secretary of New Mount Logan in proper written form not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which New Mount Logan first released its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if and only if the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting and ends 30 days after such first anniversary, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, such stockholder’s notice must be delivered by the 10th day following the day the public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made.

Written Resolutions of Shareholders
The Mount Logan by-laws provide that whenever the vote of shareholders is required or permitted in connection with any corporate action, a resolution in writing signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote on that resolution at a meeting of shareholders is as valid as if it had been passed at a meeting of the shareholders unless a written statement with respect to the subject matter of the resolution is submitted by a director or the auditor in accordance with the OBCA.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated by-laws provide that any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders may be effected only at a duly called annual or special meeting of the stockholders and may not be effected by any written consent of the stockholders.

New Mount Logan Stockholders
Amending of Governing Documents
Under the OBCA, certain amendments to the charter documents of a corporation (such as changing its name, creating new classes of shares or dividing a class of shares) submitted to a special meeting of shareholders require a resolution passed by not less than 66 2⁄3% of the votes cast by the shareholders on the resolution authorizing the amendments. Unless the articles provide otherwise, in the case of certain amendments, holders of shares of a class are entitled to vote separately as a class regardless of whether or not the class otherwise carries the right to vote. For the same specified amendments, holders of a series of a class are entitled to vote separately only if the series is affected in a manner different from other shares of the same class.

Under the OBCA, unless the articles, the by-laws or a unanimous shareholder agreement otherwise provide, the directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate the business or affairs of a corporation. In that instance, the directors must submit the by-law, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, and the shareholders may, by ordinary resolution, confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or repeal.

A resolution to amalgamate an OBCA corporation or continue an OBCA corporation to another jurisdiction requires a special resolution passed by the holders of each share.

Under the DGCL, amendments to the certificate of incorporation generally must be made and effected in the following manner: (1) if the corporation has capital stock, the board of directors sets forth the proposed amendment in a resolution, declares the advisability of the amendment and either calls a special meeting of the stockholders entitled to vote in respect thereof for the consideration of such amendment or directs that the amendment proposed be considered at the next annual meeting of the stockholders; and (2) subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority of shares entitled to vote on the matter, as well as a majority of the outstanding stock of each class or series entitled to vote separately on the amendment as described in the next two sentences, adopt the amendment. Class voting rights exist with respect to amendments to the certificate of incorporation that (i) subject to certain exceptions, increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such class, (ii) increase or decrease the par value of the shares of such class, or (iii) alter or change the powers, preferences, or special rights of the shares of such class so as to affect them adversely. If the amendment adversely affects one or more series of a class but not so affect the entire class, then only the series of shares so affected is entitled to vote separately on the amendment. Under the DGCL, the board of directors may amend a corporation’s by-laws if so authorized in the certificate of incorporation.

Under the New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the board of directors is authorized to amend, alter, change or repeal any provision contained in the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws, in the manner prescribed by applicable law. The stockholders may, at any annual or special stockholder meeting, duly called and upon proper notice thereof, make, alter, amend or repeal the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws by the affirmative vote by the holders of not less than a majority of the outstanding shares.

Annual Meeting of Shareholders
Under the OBCA, the directors of a corporation are required to call an annual meeting of shareholders no later than fifteen months after holding the last preceding annual meeting. All shareholders at the record date are entitled to notice of the meeting and have the right to attend and vote at the meeting. Under the Mount Logan by-laws, the annual meeting of shareholders shall be held at such time, on such day, in each year as the board, the Chairman of the board or the President may from time to time determine. In the absence of a determination with respect to the location at some place in Canada (or outside Canada if the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting agree), the meeting of shareholders shall be held at Mount Logan’s registered office or elsewhere in the municipality in which the registered office is situate.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws, provide that the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be held at such place, within or without the State of Delaware, such date, and such time as designated by the board of directors and set forth in the notice or waiver of notice of the meeting. The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that written or printed notice of the place, date and hour of the meeting of the stockholders, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which such meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than 10 nor more than 60 days prior to the meeting, to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting. The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that no notice of any meeting of stockholders need be given to any stockholder who submits a signed waiver of notice whether before or after the meeting.
Special Meetings of Shareholders
The Mount Logan by-laws provide that special meetings of the shareholders may be called by only the Chairman of the Board, the board of directors or the President then in office. Notice of the time and place of each meeting of shareholders shall be given in the manner provided for in the by-laws not less than 21 days nor more than 50 days before the date of the meeting to each director, to the auditor and to each shareholder who at the close of business on the record date for notice is entered in the securities register as the holder of one or more shares carrying the right to vote at the meeting.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that special meetings of the stockholders for any proper purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Chief Executive Officer, or pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire board of directors.
Constitution and Residency of Directors
The OBCA prohibits the following persons from being directors of a corporation: (a) anyone who is less than eighteen years of age, (b) anyone who has been found under the Substitute Decisions Act, 1992 or under the Mental Health Act to be incapable of managing property or who has been found to be incapable by a court in Canada or elsewhere, (c) a person who is not an individual and (d) a person who has the status of bankrupt. There is no requirement for a certain number of directors to be resident Canadians.
The DGCL requires that directors of Delaware corporations be natural persons.

New Mount Logan will be subject to such DGCL provisions with respect to directors being natural persons.

The Mount Logan constating documents do not require any exclusive forum with respect to legal actions against or involving Mount Logan.
Pursuant to New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, unless New Mount Logan consents to a different forum, (x) the federal district court for the District of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the respective rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and (y) the state courts of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (or, if no state court located within the State of Delaware has jurisdiction, the federal district court for the District of Delaware) will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on New Mount Logan’s behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers, employees or agents to New Mount Logan or New Mount Logan stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws, (iv) any action seeking to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws; or (v) any action asserting a claim against New Mount Logan or any of New Mount Logan’s directors, officers, employees, or agents governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

Derivative Action
Under the OBCA, registered or beneficial shareholders, former registered or beneficial shareholders, directors or officers or former directors or officers of a corporation or its affiliates, and any person who, in the discretion of the court, is a proper person may apply to a court for leave to bring an action in the name and on behalf of a corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or intervene in an action to which any such body corporate is a party, for the purpose of prosecuting, defending or discontinuing the action on behalf of the body corporate. No action may be brought and no intervention in an action may be made unless the complainant has given 14 days notice to the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary of the complainant’s intention to apply to the court and the court is satisfied that (a) the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary will not bring, diligently prosecute or defend or discontinue the action, (b) the complainant is acting in good faith; and (c) it appears to be in the interests of the corporation or its subsidiary that the action be brought, prosecuted, defended or discontinued. A complainant is not required to give notice if all of the directors of the corporation or its subsidiary are defendants in the action.

Under the DGCL, a stockholder bringing a derivative suit must have been a stockholder at the time of the wrong complained of or the stockholder must have received shares in the corporation by operation of law from a person who was such a stockholder at the time of the wrong complained of. In addition, under Delaware common law, the stockholder must remain a stockholder throughout the litigation.

New Mount Logan stockholders will be subject to the foregoing legal requirements with respect to derivative suits.

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers
No provision in a contract, the articles, the by-laws or a resolution may relieve a director or officer from the duty to act in accordance with the OBCA or the regulations or relieve him or her from liability for a breach thereof.

A director has complied with their duties to: (a) act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation and (b) exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances, if the director exercised the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in comparable circumstances, including reliance in good faith on: (i) financial statements of the corporation represented to him or her by an officer of the corporation or in a written report of the auditor of the corporation to present fairly the financial position of the corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (ii) on an interim or other financial report of the corporation represented to him or her by an officer of the corporation to present fairly the financial position of the corporation in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles; (iii) a report or advice of an officer or employee of the corporation, where it is reasonable in the circumstances to rely on the report or advice; or (iv) a report of a lawyer, accountant, engineer, appraiser or other person whose profession lends credibility to a statement made by any such person.

The Mount Logan by-laws provide that to the fullest extent permitted by the OBCA, no director or officer for the time being of Mount Logan shall be liable for any loss, damage or misfortune whatever which may happen in the execution of the duties of his respective office or trust or in relation thereto unless the same shall happen by or through his failure to exercise the powers and to discharge the duties of his office honestly, in good faith and in the best interests of Mount Logan and in connection therewith to exercise the degree of care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent person would exercise in comparable circumstances.
The DGCL provides that a corporation may limit or eliminate a director’s and an officer’s personal liability for monetary damages to the corporation or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or as an officer, except for liability for: (i) any breach of the director’s or officer’s duty of loyalty to such corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions by a director or an officer not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) a director’s willful or negligent violation of provisions of Delaware law governing payment of dividends and stock purchases or redemptions, (iv) any transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit, or (v) an officer in any action by or in the right of the corporation.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation limits the liability of directors and officers for money damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, as applicable, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended. Any repeal or modification of these protections will not affect rights existing at the time of the change.

Doctrine of Corporate Opportunities
Under the OBCA and applicable Canadian common law, the doctrine of corporate opportunity precludes directors and senior officers from appropriating or diverting for themselves or another person with which they are associated, without the approval of the corporation, any property or business opportunity belonging to the corporation or for which it has been negotiating.
New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Delaware and in accordance with Section 122(17) of the DGCL (or any successor provision thereto), New Mount Logan renounces all interest or expectancy that it or its subsidiaries otherwise would be entitled to have in, and all rights to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that from time to time may be presented to any officer, Director or stockholder of New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries (each such person, a “Covered Person”). No Covered Person will have any duty to refrain from (1) engaging in a corporate opportunity in the same or similar lines of business in which New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries from time to time is engaged or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing, directly or indirectly, with New Mount Logan or any of its subsidiaries. If any Covered Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity, such Covered Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or business opportunity to New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries and such Covered Person or any of his or her respective affiliates may take any and all such transactions or opportunities for himself or herself or offer such transactions or opportunities to any other person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding sentence shall not apply to any potential transaction or business opportunity that is expressly offered to an officer or Director of New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries solely in his or her capacity as such and not in any other capacity.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The by-laws of Mount Logan provide that it shall indemnify a director or officer, a former director or officer or another individual who acts or acted at the corporation’s request as a director or officer, or another individual acting or has acted in similar capacity, of another entity (each an “Indemnifiable Person”), against all costs, charges and expenses, including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, reasonably incurred by the individual in respect of any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other proceeding in which the individual is involved because of that association with the corporation or other entity. Under the OBCA, a corporation may not indemnify an individual unless:

(a) the individual acted honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of the corporation or, as the case may be, to the best interests of the other entity for which the individual acted as director or officer or in a similar capacity at the corporation’s request; and

(b) in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the individual had reasonable grounds for believing that the individual’s conduct was lawful.

A corporation may with the approval of a court, indemnify an Indemnifiable Person, or advance monies to an Indemnifiable Person, in respect of an action by or on behalf of the corporation or other entity to procure a judgment in its favor, to which the individual is made party because of the individual’s association with the corporation or other entity against all costs, charges and expenses reasonably incurred by individual in connection with such action, if the individual fulfils the requirements under (a) above.

An Indemnifiable Person is entitled to indemnity from the corporation if he or she was not judged by the court or other competent authority to have committed any fault or omitted to do anything that the individual ought to have done and fulfilled the conditions set out in (a) and (b) above.
Under the DGCL, a corporation is generally permitted to indemnify its directors and officers against expenses, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with a third party action, suit or proceeding, and against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in the defense or settlement of such action or suit, provided that there is a determination that the individual acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the individual’s conduct was unlawful. The DGCL further provides that a corporation is permitted to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed derivative suit against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if there is a determination that the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper. Indemnification determinations for current directors and officers must be made by: (i) a majority of the disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (ii) a committee of such disinterested directors designated by a majority vote of such disinterested directors, even though less than a quorum; (iii) independent legal counsel in a written opinion if there are no such disinterested directors or if such directors so direct; or (iv) the stockholders.

MLC Shareholders
New Mount Logan Stockholders
The DGCL requires indemnification of current or former directors and officers for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person relating to a successful defense on the merits or otherwise of a derivative or third-party action. Under the DGCL, a corporation may advance expenses relating to the defense of any action, suit or proceeding to directors, officers, employees, and agents contingent in certain circumstances upon those individuals’ entering into an undertaking to repay any advances if it is determined ultimately that those individuals are not entitled to be indemnified.

New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will include such an exculpation provision. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will include provisions that indemnify, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, the personal liability of directors or officers for monetary damages for actions taken as New Mount Logan’s director or officer, or for serving at New Mount Logan’s request as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that New Mount Logan shall indemnify the corporation’s current and former directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will also provide that New Mount Logan shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify and advance reasonable expenses to New Mount Logan directors and officers. New Mount Logan’s advancement obligation will be subject to New Mount Logan’s receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such person is not entitled to be indemnified. New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws will provide that New Mount Logan shall carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance to protect New Mount Logan and New Mount Logan’s directors, officers and certain employees for some liabilities.

Anti-Takeover Provisions and Other Protections
The OBCA does not contain a provision comparable to Section 203 of the DGCL with respect to business combinations. However, MI 61-101 addresses business combinations and related party transactions. See “The Mergers – Canadian Securities Law Consequences.”

Such matters as take-over bids, issuer bids or self tenders, going-private transactions and transactions with directors, officers, significant shareowners and other related parties to which Mount Logan is a party are subject to regulation by Canadian provincial securities legislation and administrative policies and rules and instruments of Canadian securities administrators. Such legislation. administrative policies, rules and instruments may impose shareowner approval requirements separate and apart from the OBCA.
Pursuant to Section 203 of the DGCL any person who becomes an “interested stockholder” (as that term is defined in Section 203), which generally occurs, subject to additional terms and exceptions, where a person acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of a New Mount Logan’s stock, may not engage in certain “business combinations” (as that term is defined in Section 203) with New Mount Logan for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the New Mount Logan board has approved, prior to the interested stockholder’s acquisition of stock, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, that person owns at least 85% of New Mount Logan’s stock outstanding at the time the transaction is commenced (excluding shares owned by persons who are both directors and officers and shares owned by employee stock plans), or (iii) the business combination is approved by the New Mount Logan board and authorized by the affirmative vote (at a special meeting) of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder, subject to additional exclusions set forth in Section 203.

Additionally, as described elsewhere herein, the New Mount Logan Board will be classified into three classes; New Mount Logan stockholders will not be able to take action via written consent; the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws establish advance notice procedures for business (including any nominations for director) to be properly brought by a stockholder before an annual or special meeting; additional shares of authorized but unissued MLC Common Stock or preferred stock may be issued without stockholder consent; and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes exclusive forum selection provisions; all of which could have the effect of making attempts to obtain control of New Mount Logan through a merger, tender offer or proxy contest or otherwise more difficult or more costly.

Appraisal or Dissenters’ Rights
The OBCA provides that shareholders of a corporation are entitled to exercise dissent rights in respect of certain matters and to be paid the fair value of their shares in connection therewith. Such matters include, among others: (i) an amalgamation with another corporation (other than with certain affiliated corporations); (ii) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, remove or change any provisions restricting the issue, transfer or ownership of shares of the class; (iii) an amendment to the corporation’s articles to add, remove or change any restriction on the business or businesses that the corporation may carry on or upon the powers that the corporation may exercise; (iv) a continuance under the laws of another jurisdiction; (v) a sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the property of the corporation other than in the ordinary course of business; and (vi) a court order permitting a shareholder to dissent in connection with an application to the court for an order approving an arrangement proposed by the corporation.

Under the OBCA, a shareholder may, in addition to exercising dissent rights, seek an oppression remedy for any act or omission of a corporation which is oppressive or unfairly prejudicial to or that unfairly disregards a shareholder’s interests.
Generally, pursuant to the DGCL, stockholders of a Delaware corporation have a right to have the fair value of their stock appraised by the Delaware Court of Chancery in certain mergers and other similar transactions, including consolidations, conversions, transfers, domestications, and continuances, provided that stockholders comply with Section 262 of the DGCL in making a demand for such appraisal rights. However, pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders have no appraisal rights in the event of a merger or similar transaction if (among other exceptions) at the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or provide written consent to such transaction the shares otherwise subject to appraisal are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders and stockholders are required by the terms of the merger agreement to accept for their stock: (i) shares of stock of the surviving corporation; (ii) shares of any other corporation which shares will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares; or (iv) a combination of such shares and cash.

New Mount Logan will be subject to such DGCL provisions with respect to appraisal and dissenters’ rights.

Dividends
Under the OBCA a corporation may pay dividends to its shareholders, subject to the articles of the corporation and any unanimous shareholders agreement, by money or property unless the corporation has reasonable grounds for believing that (a) the corporation is or, after the payment, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or (b) the realizable value of the corporation’s assets would thereby be less than the aggregate of its liabilities and stated capital of all classes.
Under Section 170 of the DGCL, the directors of a corporation may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of its capital stock either out of its surplus or, if there is no such surplus, out of its net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that holders of any outstanding series of New Mount Logan preferred stock will be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the New Mount Logan Board, out of funds legally available for the payment thereof, dividends at the rates fixed by the New Mount Logan Board for the respective series, and no more, before any dividends shall be declared and paid, or set apart for payment, on New Mount Logan common stock with respect to the same dividend period.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that Holders of New Mount Logan common stock will be entitled to receive, subject to the rights of any holders of New Mount Logan preferred stock, ratably on a per share basis such dividends and other distributions in cash, stock or property of New Mount Logan as may be declared by the New Mount Logan board from time to time out of the assets or funds of New Mount Logan legally available therefor.

Transactions with Directors and Officers
238

MLC Shareholders
New Mount Logan Stockholders
The OBCA requires that a director or officer of a corporation who, (a) is a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the corporation; or (b) is a director or an officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a material contract or transaction or proposed material contract or transaction with the corporation, shall disclose in writing to the corporation or request to have entered in the minutes of meetings of directors the nature and extent of his or her interest. The disclosure required shall be made, in the case of a director, (a) at the meeting at which a proposed contract or transaction is first considered; (b) if the director was not then interested in a proposed contract or transaction, at the first meeting after he or she becomes so interested; (c) if the director becomes interested after a contract is made or a transaction is entered into, at the first meeting after he or she becomes so interested; or (d) if a person who is interested in a contract or transaction later becomes a director, at the first meeting after he or she becomes a director. Similar disclosures are required in the case of an officer.

Under the OBCA, directors do not need to abstain from voting on matters relating to director compensation, indemnity or insurance under the OBCA, or are otherwise with an affiliate.
New Mount Logan will adopt a formal written policy that will be effective upon the completion of the Merger setting forth policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of “related party transactions,” which are those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC.

Section 144 of the DGCL provides safe harbor procedures for acts or transactions in which one or more directors or officers as well as controlling stockholders and members of control groups have interests or relationships that might render them interested or not independent with respect to the act or transaction. If one of the statutory safe harbors applies, the act or transaction at issue may not be the subject of equitable relief or give rise to an award of damages against a director or officer. Section 144 of the DGCL provides that certain acts or transactions involving interested directors or officers will be protected if the act or transaction is (1) approved or recommended by a majority of the disinterested directors, either serving on a board of directors or a committee of the board of directors acting with knowledge as to the material facts, (2) approved or ratified by an informed, uncoerced, affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders entitled to vote thereon, or (3) fair to the corporation. If a majority of the directors are not disinterested directors with respect to the act or transaction, any such disinterested director approval or recommendation must be provided through a disinterested director committee that consists of two or more directors. In addition, Section 144 sets forth statutory definitions of what parties constitute a controlling stockholder or control group and provides safe harbor procedures that can be followed to insulate from challenge specified acts or transactions from which a controlling stockholder or control group receives a unique benefit. A controlling stockholder transaction that does not constitute a “going private transition” is entitled to the statutory safe harbor protection if it is (1) approved or recommended by a fully empowered committee of two or more disinterested directors acting with knowledge of the material facts, (2) approved or ratified by the informed and uncoerced vote of a majority of the votes cast by the disinterested stockholders entitled to
239

MLC Shareholders
New Mount Logan Stockholders
vote thereon, or (3) fair to the corporation. A controlling stockholder transaction that constitutes a “going private transaction” with a controlling stockholder may be entitled to the statutory safe harbor protection if items (1) and (2) of the foregoing sentence are both obtained or the act or transaction is fair to the corporation. Section 144 of the DGCL also provides, among other things, criteria for determining the independence and disinterestedness of directors and stockholders and provides for a heightened presumption of disinterestedness and independence where directors satisfy exchange rules for independence that can only be rebutted upon substantial and particularized allegations that the director is interested or not independent.
Record Date
The Mount Logan by-laws provide that the board may fix in advance a date, preceding the date of any meeting of shareholders by not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days, as a record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting, provided that notice of any such record date shall be given not less than seven (7) days before such record date by newspaper advertisement in the manner provided in the OBCA and, if any shares of Mount Logan are listed for trading on a stock exchange in Canada, by written notice to each such stock exchange. If no record date is so fixed, the record date for the determination of the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting shall be at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the day on which the notice is given or, if no notice is given, the day on which the meeting is held.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that in order to determine the stockholders entitled to notice of, or entitled to vote at, any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the New Mount Logan Board may fix in advance a record date, which record date shall not precede the date on which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the New Mount Logan Board, not exceeding sixty (60) days, nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting, provided, among other exceptions, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.
Shareholder Proposals
Under the OBCA, any registered or beneficial owner of shares entitled to be voted at a meeting of shareholders may submit to a corporation a notice of a proposal and discuss at the meeting any matter in respect of which the shareholder would have been entitled to submit a proposal.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws allow shareholders to bring business before annual meetings of stockholders (other than nominations of persons for election to the board of directors), provided the stockholder (i) was a stockholder of record at the time of providing the notice described herein, on the record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and at the time of the annual meeting; (ii) is entitled to vote at such meeting; and (iii) complies with the notice provisions set forth in the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws.

New Mount Logan Stockholders
The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws provide that for any business (other than nominations of persons for election to the board of directors) to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in proper written form as described in the amended and restated by-laws to the Secretary of New Mount Logan; any such proposed business must be a proper matter for stockholder action and the stockholder and the Stockholder Associated Person (as defined in the amended and restated by-laws) must have acted in accordance with the representations set forth in the Solicitation Statement (as defined in the amended and restated by-laws).

The New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws require that to be timely, a stockholder’s notice for such business must be delivered and received by the Secretary of New Mount Logan in proper written form not less than 90 days and not more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date on which New Mount Logan first released its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that if and only if the annual meeting is not scheduled to be held within a period that commences 30 days before the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting and ends 30 days after such first anniversary, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, such stockholder’s notice must be delivered by the 10th day following the day the public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made.

The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws without the assent or vote of the stockholders of New Mount Logan. The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that stockholders may, at any annual or special stockholder meeting, duly called and upon proper notice thereof, make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws by the affirmative vote by the holders of not less than a majority of New Mount Logan’s outstanding shares.
241

MLC Shareholders
New Mount Logan Stockholders

By-Law Amendment
Under the OBCA, the board of directors may, by resolution, make, amend or repeal any by-laws that regulate the business or affairs of a corporation. Where the directors make, amend or repeal a by-law, they are required under the OBCA to submit the by-law, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders and the shareholders may confirm, reject or amend the by-law, amendment or repeal by an ordinary resolution, which is a resolution passed by a majority of the votes cast by shareholders who voted in respect of the resolution. If a by-law or amendment or repeal of a by-law is rejected by the shareholders, or if the directors of a corporation do not submit the by-law, amendment or repeal to the shareholders at the next meeting of shareholders, then such by-law, amendment or repeal will cease to be effective and no subsequent resolution of the directors to make, amend or repeal a by-law having substantially the same purpose or effect is effective until it is confirmed or confirmed as amended by the shareholders.
The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws without the assent or vote of the stockholders of New Mount Logan. The New Mount Logan amended and restated certificate of incorporation further provides that stockholders may, at any annual or special stockholder meeting, duly called and upon proper notice thereof, make, alter, amend or repeal the by-laws by the affirmative vote by the holders of not less than a majority of New Mount Logan’s outstanding shares.

COMPARISON OF 180 DEGREE CAPITAL SHAREHOLDERS’ RIGHTS

This section describes the material differences between the rights of holders of TURN Common Shares and the rights of holders of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock. 180 Degree Capital is incorporated under the laws of the State of New York and New Mount Logan is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The differences between the rights of 180 Degree Capital shareholders and New Mount Logan stockholders primarily result from differences between the laws of the State of New York and the laws of the State of Delaware, as well as differences between the organizational documents of 180 Degree Capital and New Mount Logan. As a result of the Mergers, holders of TURN Common Shares who receive Merger Consideration in respect of their TURN Common Shares will become holders of shares of New Mount Logan Common Stock. As a result, following the Mergers, the rights of 180 Degree Capital shareholders who become New Mount Logan stockholders in the Mergers will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware and will also then be governed by New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws.
This section does not include a complete description of all differences between the rights of 180 Degree Capital shareholders and New Mount Logan stockholders, nor does it include a complete description of the specific rights referred to below. Furthermore, the description of some of the differences in the rights in this section is not intended to indicate that other differences that may be equally important do not exist. All 180 Degree Capital shareholders are urged to read carefully the relevant provisions of the New York Business Corporation Law (“NYBCL”) and DGCL, as well as each company’s organizational documents. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the relevant provisions of NYBCL and DGCL, as well as the full text of each of 180 Degree Capital’s Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation (together, the “180 Degree Capital Certificate of Incorporation”), 180 Degree Capital’s By-Laws (the “180 Degree Capital By-Laws”), New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated by-laws.

Section 912 of the NYBCL provides that a New York corporation may not engage in a business combination with any interested shareholder of such corporation for a period of five (5) years following the interested shareholder’s stock acquisition date unless such business combination or the purchase of stock made by such interested shareholder on such interested shareholder's stock acquisition date is approved by the board of directors of such corporation prior to such interested shareholder's stock acquisition date. Covered business combinations include certain mergers and consolidations, dispositions of assets or stock, plans for liquidation or dissolution, reclassifications of securities, recapitalizations and similar transactions.

In addition, New York corporations may not engage at any time with any interested shareholder in a business combination other than: (i) a business combination approved by the board of directors before such interested shareholder's stock acquisition date, or where the purchase of stock had been approved by the board of directors before the stock acquisition date; (ii) a business combination approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder at a meeting for that purpose no earlier than five years after the stock acquisition date; or (iii) a business combination in which the interested shareholder pays a formula price designed to ensure that all other shareholders receive at least the highest price per share that is paid by the interested shareholder and that meets certain other requirements.

The 180 Degree Capital By-Laws do not contain any provisions electing not to be governed by Section 912 of the NYBCL.
Pursuant to Section 203 of the DGCL any person who becomes an “interested stockholder” (as that term is defined in Section 203), which generally occurs, subject to additional terms and exceptions, where a person acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of a New Mount Logan’s stock, may not engage in certain “business combinations” (as that term is defined in Section 203) with New Mount Logan for a period of three years following the time the person became an interested stockholder, unless (i) the New Mount Logan board has approved, prior to the interested stockholder’s acquisition of stock, either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the person becoming an interested stockholder, that person owns at least 85% of New Mount Logan’s stock outstanding at the time the transaction is commenced (excluding shares owned by persons who are both directors and officers and shares owned by employee stock plans), or (iii) the business combination is approved by the New Mount Logan board and authorized by the affirmative vote (at a special meeting) of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder, subject to additional exclusions set forth in Section 203.

Additionally, as described elsewhere herein, the New Mount Logan Board will be classified into three classes; New Mount Logan stockholders will not be able to take action via written consent; the New Mount Logan amended and restated by-laws establish advance notice procedures for business (including any nominations for director) to be properly brought by a stockholder before an annual or special meeting; additional shares of authorized but unissued MLC Common Stock or preferred stock may be issued without stockholder consent; and New Mount Logan’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation includes exclusive forum selection provisions; all of which could have the effect of making attempts to obtain control of New Mount Logan through a merger, tender offer or proxy contest or otherwise more difficult or more costly.

However, pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, stockholders have no appraisal rights in the event of a merger or similar transaction if (among other exceptions) at the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on or provide written consent to such transaction the shares otherwise subject to appraisal are either (i) listed on a national securities exchange or (ii) held of record by more than 2,000 holders and stockholders are required by the terms of the merger agreement to accept for their stock: (i) shares of stock of the surviving corporation; (ii) shares of any other corporation which shares will be either listed on a national securities exchange or held of record by more than 2,000 stockholders; (iii) cash in lieu of fractional shares; or (iv) a combination of such shares and cash.

New Mount Logan will be subject to such DGCL provisions with respect to appraisal and dissenters’ rights.

BUSINESS OF MOUNT LOGAN

Formed in 2018, Mount Logan is a leading, diversified alternative asset management and insurance solutions platform. Mount Logan’s mission is to provide its investors access to a diversified and differentiated set of private market investment solutions to address their capital needs. Mount Logan conducts its business primarily in the United States through its two business segments: Asset Management and Insurance Solutions. ML Management, Mount Logan’s wholly-owned subsidiary and SEC-registered investment adviser, manages a significant portion of Mount Logan’s Assets Under Management (“AUM”) across its various managed funds supported by permanent and semi-permanent capital bases. Mount Logan tailors its asset management platform to serve high-growth client segments within the institutional, retail, and insurance markets. ML Management also directly manages the capital of Mount Logan’s wholly-owned insurance company, Ability, for the benefit of policyholders. Ability, a Nebraska domiciled insurer, specializes in reinsuring annuity products for the increasing number of individuals seeking to fund retirement needs and represents all of Mount Logan’s insurance solutions operations.

Mount Logan’s Businesses

Asset Management

Mount Logan’s Asset Management segment focuses on generating recurring fee streams across a diversified set of credit investing strategies. Mount Logan raises, invests and manages funds, accounts and other vehicles with an emphasis on private credit and private market solutions. As of March 31, 2025, Mount Logan had total AUM of $2.4 billion.

As an alternative asset manager, through ML Management and Sierra Crest Investment Management LLC (“SCIM”), Mount Logan’s wholly- and partially-owned SEC-registered investment advisers (“RIAs”), respectively, Mount Logan earns management and incentive fees for providing investment advisory and management services to multiple diversified investment vehicles, which include Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions segment. The majority of these vehicles are indefinite term and permanent or semi-permanent capital, generating recurring management and fee-related performance fees that are measured and received on a recurring basis. These vehicles are primarily focused on middle-market North American and European direct and indirect private loan origination across the capital structure, as well as corporate credit, specialty finance, and other mandates across managed accounts and CLOs. Mount Logan benefits from its investment in and expansion into high-growth areas of private credit and private solutions investing, including asset-backed finance, opportunistic credit, and venture and growth lending. Beyond participation in the traditional primary and secondary credit markets, through its origination and corporate solutions capabilities, Mount Logan seeks to originate assets with attractive risk-adjusted returns in the funds it manages through rigorous and deep diligence on the opportunities it assesses.

Through its RIAs, Mount Logan seeks to provide a full credit cycle investment offering, with the ability to opportunistically allocate capital to fill the white space created as other capital sources retrench due to both secular and cyclical investing trends. In its private lending strategies, Mount Logan invests in well-established middle-market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries, with no concentration in any one industry. Mount Logan employs fundamental credit analysis, targeting investments in businesses with relatively low levels of cyclicality and operating risk. As part of its opportunistic allocation of capital, Mount Logan can invest in primary and secondary structured products and non-traditional credit instruments, regulatory capital relief investments, structured equity, as well as asset investing, special situations, and in certain cases, stressed or distressed debt.

Mount Logan has experience managing levered vehicles, both public and private, and seeks to enhance returns through the prudent use of leverage with a conservative approach that prioritizes downside protection and capital preservation. Mount Logan believes this strategy and approach offers attractive risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility given the potential for fewer defaults and greater resilience through market cycles.

263

Permanent or Semi-Permanent Capital

Included within Mount Logan’s investing strategies above is $1.5 billion of permanent or semi-permanent capital, out of the $2.4 billion of total AUM as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, permanent capital includes, without limitation, certain assets in Mount Logan’s credit strategy, including assets relating to publicly traded and non-traded vehicles, and assets managed for certain of Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions clients, which have indefinite or long-term investment horizons, and in specific cases provide stable sources of funding while allowing for liquidity access for investors through redemption mechanisms. Mount Logan does not include in its permanent or semi-permanent capital those investment funds or vehicles that are not closed-ended, or those that are not actively investing or raising new capital, as well as any investment fund or vehicle in process of winding down its operations, including investment and portfolio management-related activities.

The amount of fees charged for managing these assets depends on the underlying investment strategy, vehicle being managed, liquidity profile, and, ultimately, Mount Logan’s ability to generate returns for its clients. After expenses associated with generating fee-related revenues, Mount Logan measures the resulting earnings stream’s “Fee Related Earnings” or “FRE”, which represents the primary performance measure for the Asset Management segment. FRE is the sum of all recurring fees underpinned by asset management activities including but not limited to: (i) management and servicing fees, (ii) interest income attributable to investment management activity, (iii) equity investment earnings related to fee generating vehicles, and (iv) fee-related performance fees from certain managed funds with indefinite terms, measured and received on a recurring basis and not dependent on realization events of the underlying investments, less (x) fee related compensation expense, excluding equity-based compensation, and (y) other associated operating expenses, which excludes growth investments into the retail distribution platform, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, interest and other credit facility expenses, foreign exchange-related gains and losses, and other non-recurring, nonmaterial items that are not required for the management of the underlying assets and investments.

Historically, Mount Logan focused on strategic acquisitions and partnerships to expand its asset management capabilities, including but not limited to (i) the 2020 transaction alongside SCIM, whereby SCIM became the investment advisor to the Alternative Credit Income Fund (“ACIF”), (ii) the purchase of, and subsequent increase in, a minority stake in SCIM, which manages Portman Ridge Finance Corp. (“PTMN”), a closed-end, externally managed, non-diversified investment company that has elected to be treated as a Business Development Company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (iii) the 2021 acquisition of certain assets from Capitala Investment Advisors, LLC, whereby ML Management became the manager of Logan Ridge Finance Corp. (formerly Capitala Finance Corp.), also a BDC, and (iv) the transaction with Ovation Partners, LP, for the management of its alternative income platform, which included the transfer of employees to ML Management to support its specialty finance and asset-backed finance efforts across commercial lending, real estate lending, consumer finance, and litigation finance.

The Asset Management segment also holds minority stake interests in (i) Runway Growth Capital, which is a private credit, SEC-registered investment adviser managing $1.2 billion AUM with a specific orientation on providing growth capital to sponsored (i.e., venture-backed) and non-sponsored companies, and (ii) two Canadian alternative asset managers focused on investment grade, high yield, private credit, and asset-backed investment strategies. The minority stake in Runway Growth Capital was made during the first quarter of 2025, but for purposes of this filing is not considered a significant acquisition in accordance with Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X.

Mount Logan is differentiated by the scale, depth, diversity, and investment performance of its funds and investment solutions. The diversity of Mount Logan’s credit products and private market solutions demonstrates Mount Logan’s focus on expanding and enhancing its capabilities, in support of investment performance on behalf of its investment clients. Mount Logan believes the achievement of attractive risk-adjusted returns will continue to support growth in AUM and the recurring fee streams it earns across the vehicles it manages.
Insurance Solutions

264

Mount Logan acquired Ability in the fourth quarter of 2021. Today, Ability is a Nebraska domiciled reinsurer of annuity products. Upon closing of the acquisition of Ability, ML Management entered into an investment management agreement with Ability (the “Ability IMA”) to manage certain of Ability’s assets that are within the scope of ML Management’s expertise in providing investment management advisory services (the assets of Ability managed by ML Management are referred to herein as the “Managed Ability Portfolio”). Ability then shifted the focus of its insurance business away from legacy insurance products, and reoriented around retirement solutions products, including multi-year guaranteed annuities (“MYGA”). Ability’s long-term goal is to build a platform that can both insure and reinsure a diverse set of competitive annuity and life insurance products.

The acquisition of Ability by Mount Logan combined two products that Mount Logan believes are, and will continue to be, in high demand – insurance solutions and alternative asset management. Mount Logan, through its acquisition of Ability, brought the insurance business additional capital to support growth, a stronger investment portfolio through ML Management’s repositioning of the portfolio, stability and continuity of liability management, and new growth opportunities that Mount Logan believes will provide increased security to policyholders. The acquisition positioned Mount Logan for a new stage of growth, as the stronger capital base and alignment allows Mount Logan to scale asset and liability origination for the benefit of Ability’s policyholders as well as Mount Logan and its shareholders.

Mount Logan is focused on generating spread income, or Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”), within its Insurance Solutions segment for the benefit of policyholders, through (i) sourcing long-term liabilities and (ii) using the origination and investment capabilities of its Asset Management business to source or originate assets that fit Ability’s targeted risk and return characteristics. SRE represents the difference between actual earnings generated on the assets and investments made and the interest or crediting rate guaranteed to policyholders or participants. Mount Logan views SRE as a critical measurement for assessing the profitability of the Insurance Solutions segment, as it excludes the impact of certain market volatility and other one-time, non-core components of income or loss. Rather than increasing allocations to higher risk securities to increase yields, or returns, on the assets invested, Ability and ML Management focus on proprietary origination of high-quality, predominantly senior secured loans and assets, which Mount Logan believes reduces downside risk.

Mount Logan’s asset management expertise supports the sourcing and underwriting of assets for Ability’s portfolio. Ability is invested in a diverse array of high-grade fixed income assets including corporate bonds, structured securities and commercial real estate loans, as well as senior secured loans. Ability manages its interest rate risk through hedging activity to lower its overall net floating rate position. Ability also maintains holdings in less interest rate-sensitive investments, including CLOs, non-agency RMBS, and various types of structured products, consistent with its strategy of pursuing incremental yield by assuming liquidity and complexity risk, rather than assuming incremental credit risk.

Ability’s Products

Ability currently reinsures annuity products, consisting of MYGA, and is licensed in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Mount Logan acquired Ability in the fourth quarter of 2021. As part of the transaction, Mount Logan invested $10 million of capital into Ability to strengthen its balance sheet and launch a platform for the reinsurance of annuities. The reinsurance of annuity products commenced in the second quarter of 2022. Subsequently, Mount Logan has contributed an incremental $21.6 million of capital and investments into Ability.

Annuities are a contract with an insurer where individuals agree to pay a certain amount of money, either in a lump sum or through installments, which entitles them to receive a series of payments at a future date. MYGA products are single premium deferred individual annuity contracts, providing consumers with an attractive, low-risk, predictable, and tax deferred investment option.

Effective April 1, 2022, Mount Logan, through Ability, closed a reinsurance agreement with Atlantic Coast Life Insurance Company (“ACL”) pursuant to which Ability assumed a 20% quota share coinsurance of up to $150.0 million of premium of MYGA policies beginning January 1, 2021. Effective July 1, 2022, Ability closed on an additional reinsurance agreement with Sentinel Security Life Insurance Company (“SSL”) to assume a 20% quota
265

share coinsurance of up to $100.0 million of premium of MYGA policies. These quota share coinsurance agreements were met as of July 10, 2023. On January 10, 2024, Mount Logan, through Ability, amended the reinsurance agreements with ACL and with SSL, pursuant to which Ability would assume a 20% quota share coinsurance of premium of MYGA policies issued and approved on or after October 1, 2023. Ability elected to terminate the amended reinsurance agreements, effective June 30, 2024, to diversify and grow liability origination away from the initial counterparties, ACL and SSL. On March 31, 2025, Ability entered a new reinsurance treaty for additional MYGA with National Security Group (“NSG”), further diversifying its reinsurance partners.

To support growth in the insurance solutions segment, as of March 31, 2025, Mount Logan has invested $31.6 million directly into Ability to provide the capital support required to enter into the previously mentioned reinsurance agreements, as well as provide additional capital to evaluate new reinsurance opportunities as they are presented to Ability.

Ability has a runoff book of long-term care (“LTC”) business, which Mount Logan classifies as Ability’s legacy business. Ability has several reinsurance agreements to reinsure the long-term care portfolio's morbidity risk. Ability is no longer insuring new long-term care risk. The last LTC policy Ability wrote was in the early 2000’s, and thus, LTC has not been a core focus of the insurance business for multiple decades.

Reinsurance Channels

Ability is focused on reinsurance through quota-share agreements in the form or flow or block trades, as well as acquisitions, which supports Ability’s liability origination efforts across market environments. As Ability continues to grow, it remains disciplined in its evaluation of liabilities that are core to its strategy.

Capital

Ability believes it has a strong capital position and is well positioned to meet policyholder and other obligations, which it determines through various internal capital metrics tracked by management. The amount of capital required to support Ability’s core operating strategies is determined based on internal modeling and analysis of economic risk, as well as inputs from rating agency capital models and consideration of National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements. Capital in excess of this required amount is considered excess equity capital, which is available to deploy.

Ability’s Market Opportunity

Ability participates in a large U.S. market that it expects to grow in part due to several demographic trends. As measured by annual premiums written, annuities are the largest product line in the life and annuity sector. Annuities play an important role in retirement planning by providing individuals with stable, tax-efficient sources of income. In 2024, annuity premiums totaled $434.1 billion, up 13% year over year, accordingly to LIMRA’s U.S. Individual Annuity Sales survey, which represents 92% of the U.S. annuity market. The most common annuities are fixed and variable and may be written on an individual or group basis. The current products Ability reinsures are fixed annuities written on an individual basis.

There is an increasing demand for retirement solutions as a growing portion of the U.S. population is of retirement age and the retirement income needs of retirees are expected to increase. The number of people of retirement age has increased significantly since 2010, driven by the aging of the “Baby Boomer” generation. The U.S. population over 65 years old is forecast to grow from 57.8 million in 2022 to an estimated 78.3 million in the next 20 years, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Population Estimates and Projections. This study also forecasted that the U.S. population aged over 65 years old is expected to grow by 44% from 2020 to 2040, while the total U.S. population is expected to grow by only 12%. Currently, 17.3% of the U.S. population is 65 or older, which is projected to rise to 22% by 2040, according to the ACL. The UN’s Population Statistics group has also forecasted that the global population aged 65 and over is expected to double from 0.8 billion to 1.6 billion, increasing from 10% to 17% of the total population, by mid-century. This demographics-driven demand has been further supported
266

by a higher interest rate environment, which has enabled annuity providers to enhance their product offerings with more attractive crediting rates, strengthening the overall value proposition for consumers.

Annuities play an increasingly vital role in retirement planning, offering retirees stable, tax-efficient, and guaranteed income streams. In 2023, total fixed-rate deferred annuity sales reached $164.9 billion, representing a 46% increase over the previous record set in 2022. MYGA sales rose to $53 billion in 2023, up 48% year-over-year, according to LIMRA. The solid growth in MYGA demand has been a key driver of the overall expansion in the fixed annuity market. Ability’s current product focus is centered on individual MYGA offerings, where Ability sees continued opportunity for growth.

Growth Strategy

Mount Logan’s management team is focused on growing Mount Logan across its primary business segments, Asset Management and Insurance Solutions, both via organic reinvestment into each business segment and through inorganic growth efforts, including mergers, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, and joint ventures.

Asset Management

Beginning in 2020, Mount Logan expanded its focus from a lending-oriented credit platform to an alternative asset management platform in the United States. Since 2018, Mount Logan has closed 14 acquisitions and strategic investments, thereby increasing its permanent and semi-permanent capital bases. As of March 31, 2025, Mount Logan had total AUM of $2.4 billion.

Mount Logan’s medium-term plan is to leverage its fixed cost base towards scaling its Asset Management AUM. The Asset Management growth strategy is centered around AUM and Fee Related Earnings expansion, further diversifying Mount Logan’s credit investment capabilities and products offered to its institutional retail and insurance clients, as well as enhancing the market presence of its credit investment business. Mount Logan believes that increased AUM comes through new fund launches and sub-advisory relationships, which benefit from strong underlying fund performance and Mount Logan’s historical track record.

In addition, Mount Logan will continue to pursue merger and acquisition opportunities to increase scale from its existing private credit platform and to broaden its growing investment capabilities. Through these strategic initiatives, Mount Logan aims to solidify its position as a leading alternative asset manager and insurance solutions provider in North America.

Insurance Solutions

Mount Logan, following the acquisition of Ability in 2021, strategically positioned its insurance solutions segment to capitalize on the growing demand for retirement solutions products, with an initial focus on MYGA. MYGA, with its guaranteed returns and fixed tenor, make it a suitable product for both insurance companies and policyholders with minimal complexity and a high-level of predictability, often offering greater insured returns relative to comparable risk-free rates.

Mount Logan’s long-term plans are to broaden the suite of insurance products it reinsures, including but not limited to Fixed Indexed Annuities (“FIA”) and pre-need products. Any new reinsurance treaties Mount Logan enters into will be filed with and approved by appropriate state insurance regulatory authorities before being executed. Mount Logan is also actively evaluating expanding into the direct writing of new insurance and retirement products.

Mount Logan’s growth strategy focuses on leveraging its asset management expertise and capabilities to optimize the insurance investment portfolio and ensure the stability and growth of the assets and liabilities of the business. By investing MYGA premiums into diversified assets, Mount Logan aims to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns, which supports repayment to policyholders and contributes to spread income.

267

Additionally, Mount Logan is actively exploring new growth opportunities through strategic partnerships and acquisitions, supporting Mount Logan’s long-term goal of building a comprehensive insurance solutions platform capable of insuring and reinsuring a diverse set of competitive annuity and life insurance products.

Mount Logan believes that its multi-faceted approach to growth via organic and inorganic initiatives, including prudent asset management, will strengthen its Insurance Solutions segment’s positioning in the market, and provides increased benefits to policyholders, resulting in continued success in the competitive insurance and retirement solutions landscape.

Competition

Asset Management

The competition is high in the asset management industry, and more specifically the alternative asset management space in which Mount Logan primarily operates. Mount Logan faces competition from a large number of asset managers that focus on the management of public and private funds, as well as commercial and investment banks, merchant banks, commercial financing companies, institutional investors, insurance companies and, to the extent they provide an alternative form of financing, private equity funds.

With respect to Mount Logan’s investment strategies and the deployment of capital, Mount Logan primarily competes with other private markets solutions providers within North America and Europe that specialize in private credit. Mount Logan endeavors to maintain strong relationships with general partners and other alternative asset managers who manage investment funds, as well as the general investment community that can include investment banks, commercial banks, advisors, brokers, legal firms, and accountants. Mount Logan’s non-sponsored, or non-private equity-backed, deals are sourced through a proprietary and robust network of industry contacts and other channels including existing relationships with owners or management teams of middle market companies, family-owned businesses, and niche industry players. Mount Logan views the non-sponsored channel as less competitive given the wide dispersion of opportunities across North America and Europe, which are harder to source, evaluate, and underwrite. However, because of the increasing demand for private credit investments and growth across the industry, there can be no assurance that Mount Logan will be able to invest all of the capital it raises in investments that meet our risk-adjusted return thresholds, or that the size of investment opportunities available to Mount Logan will meet its investment sizing targets.

To grow its business, Mount Logan must compete for investor capital, both within its existing investor base and the broader investor universe that is actively seeking to deploy capital into the private markets, and specifically funds managed by alternative asset managers like ML Management. Historically, Mount Logan’s ability to raise additional capital, and thus grow AUM, is based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to:
Investment performance across Mount Logan’s managed and sub-advised investment strategies;
Ability to originate and execute private credit investment opportunities;
Nature and duration of investor relationships;
Quality of service;
Fund terms, including fees;
Brand recognition of the platforms through which Mount Logan operates as well as the brand recognition of the firms which Mount Logan partners with, including BCPA and Runway Growth Capital;
Ability to customize product offerings to fit Mount Logan’s institutional, retail, and insurance client specifications; and
Ability to provide cost effective and comprehensive range of services and products.

Competition is also high to attract and retain highly qualified investment professionals and support functions personnel. Mount Logan’s ability to continue to compete effectively within its industry will depend upon its ability to attract new employees and to motivate and retain its existing employees.

268

Insurance Solutions

Mount Logan operates in a highly competitive industry through its Insurance Solutions operating subsidiary, Ability. Ability reinsures annuity products, which compete with fixed rate, fixed index, and variable annuities sold by other insurance companies and also with mutual fund products, traditional bank products, and other investment and retirement funding alternatives offered by other asset managers, banks, and broker/dealers.

The products Ability reinsures may compete with products of other insurance companies, financial intermediaries and other institutions based on several features, including crediting rates, index options, policy terms and conditions, ratings, reputation, and distributor compensation.

Many of Ability’s competitors are well-established, and have greater market share, broader networks, and maintain financial strength ratings from A.M. Best, which Ability does not have today. Larger competitors can have lower operating costs, enabling them to participate in transactions at more competitive pricing levels for insurance products, reinsurance solutions, and acquisitions. This pricing pressure could affect Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions platform’s ability to maintain or increase profitable growth. Ability has primarily grown through MYGA block reinsurance transactions and flow reinsurance, and increased competition within these insurance products could impact transaction pricing, potentially challenging future growth.

Regulatory and Compliance Matters

Mount Logan’s businesses, as well as the financial services and insurance industries generally, are subject to extensive regulation in the United States and around the world. Virtually all aspects of Mount Logan’s business are subject to various laws and regulations, some of which are summarized below. Under these laws and regulations, agencies that regulate investment advisers, investment funds, insurance businesses, and other individuals and entities have broad administrative powers, including the power to limit, restrict, or prohibit the regulated entity or person from carrying on business if it fails to comply with such laws and regulations. Failure to comply with applicable regulatory and compliance requirements may result in a variety of consequences, including fines; administrative measures; suspension of voting rights; suspension of individual employees; limitations on engaging in certain lines of business for specified periods of time or mandatory disposal of interests in any affected regulated entity; revocation of investment adviser, insurance, and other registrations; licenses, or charters; censures; and other regulatory sanctions. The legal and regulatory requirements applicable to Mount Logan’s business are ever evolving and may become more restrictive, which may make compliance with applicable requirements more difficult or expensive, or otherwise restrict Mount Logan’s ability to conduct its business activities in the manner in which they are now conducted. Mount Logan’s businesses have operated for many years within a legal framework that requires being able to monitor and comply with a broad range of legal and regulatory developments that affect Mount Logan’s activities. However, additional legislation, changes in rules promulgated by self-regulatory organizations, or changes in the interpretation or enforcement of existing laws and rules, either in the United States or elsewhere, may directly affect Mount Logan’s mode of operation and profitability. The complex regulatory frameworks governing financial institutions, insurance companies, and insurance distributors and their respective holding companies and subsidiaries, as well as those with investments in them, are very detailed and technical. Accordingly, the discussion below is general in nature, does not purport to be complete and is current only as of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus.

Regulation under the Advisers Act

Mount Logan conducts its advisory business primarily through ML Management and SCIM, each of which is registered as an investment adviser with the SEC under the Advisers Act. ML Management and SCIM are subject to, among other Advisers Act provisions, the anti-fraud provisions of the Advisers Act and to fiduciary duties derived from these provisions, which apply to the RIA’s relationships with their advisory clients globally, including funds that the RIAs manage. These provisions and duties impose restrictions and obligations on the RIA with respect to their dealings with their fund investors and their investments, including for example restrictions on agency cross and principal transactions. ML Management and SCIM are subject to periodic SEC examinations and other requirements under the Advisers Act and related regulations primarily intended to benefit advisory clients. These
269

additional requirements relate, among other things, to maintaining an effective and comprehensive compliance program, record-keeping and reporting requirements and disclosure requirements. The Advisers Act generally grants the SEC broad administrative powers, including the power to limit or restrict an investment adviser from conducting advisory activities in the event it fails to comply with federal securities laws. Additional sanctions that may be imposed for failure to comply with applicable requirements include the prohibition of individuals from associating with an investment adviser, the revocation of registrations, and other censures and fines.

Ability is subject to extensive regulation and supervision by the states in which it is domiciled, particularly with respect to their financial condition. Ability is domiciled in Nebraska, where it is regulated and supervised by the Nebraska Department of Insurance (“NEDOI”). Ability is also subject to regulation by all states in which the company transacts business; oversight that, in practice, often focuses on review of Ability’s market conduct. Ability is licensed to conduct insurance business, and is therefore subject to regulation and supervision by insurance regulators, in 42 states and the District of Columbia.

The extent and scope of insurance regulation varies between jurisdictions, but most jurisdictions have laws and regulations governing the financial security of insurers, including admittance of assets for purposes of calculating statutory surplus, standards of solvency, reserves, reinsurance, capital adequacy, and the business conduct of insurers.

In addition, statutes and regulations require the licensing of insurers and their agents, the approval of policy forms and related materials, and the approval of rates. State statutes and regulations also prescribe the permitted types and concentrations of investments by insurers. The primary purpose of this insurance industry regulation is to protect policyholders. Life insurance companies are required to file detailed quarterly and annual financial statements with insurance regulatory authorities in each of the jurisdictions in which they are licensed to do business, and their operations are subject to periodic examination by such authorities. Regulators have discretionary authority, in connection with the continued licensing of insurance companies, to limit or prohibit the insurance company’s ability to continue to do business if, in their judgment, the regulators determine that an insurer is not maintaining necessary statutory surplus or capital or if the further transaction of business will be detrimental to its policyholders.

The amount of dividends that Ability may pay in any twelve-month period, without prior approval by its domestic insurance regulator, is restricted under the laws of Nebraska.

Mount Logan, an insurance holding company, together with its insurance subsidiary, Ability, is subject to the insurance holding company system laws of Nebraska. These laws generally require insurers that are members of such insurance holding company’s system to register with the jurisdiction’s insurance regulatory authorities, to file reports disclosing certain information, including the insurance holding company’s capital structure, ownership, management, financial condition, enterprise risk, and own risk and solvency assessment.

These laws also require disclosure of certain qualifying transactions between Ability and any of Mount Logan’s other subsidiaries or affiliates. Such transactions could include loans, investments, sales, service agreements, and reinsurance agreements among other similar inter-affiliate transactions. These laws also require that intercompany transactions be fair and reasonable and not adversely affect the interests of policyholders. In certain circumstances, the insurance company must give prior notice of the transaction to the insurance department in its state of domicile, and the insurance department must either approve or disapprove the subject intercompany transaction within defined periods. Further, these laws require that an insurer’s surplus following any dividends or distributions to shareholder affiliates is reasonable in relation to the insurer’s outstanding liabilities and its financial needs.

The insurance holding company laws in some states, including Nebraska, require regulatory approval of a direct or indirect change of control of an insurer or an insurer’s parent company. Generally, to obtain approval from
270

the insurance commissioner for any acquisition of control of an insurance company or its parent company, the proposed acquirer must file with the applicable commissioner an application containing information regarding:

(i)the identity and background of the acquirer and its affiliates;
(ii)the nature, source and amount of funds to be used to carry out the acquisition;
(iii)the financial statements of the acquirer and its affiliates;
(iv)any potential plans for disposition of the securities or business of the insurer;
(v)the number and type of securities to be acquired;
(vi)any contracts with respect to the securities to be acquired;
(vii)any agreements with broker-dealers; and
(viii)other relevant matters.

Different jurisdictions may have similar or additional requirements for prior approval of any acquisition of control of an insurance or reinsurance company licensed or authorized to transact business in those jurisdictions. Additional requirements may include re-licensing or subsequent approval for renewal of existing licenses upon an acquisition of control.

Statutory Examinations

Ability is required to file detailed quarterly and annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with statutory accounting practices (“SAP”), with regulatory officials in each of the jurisdictions in which they conduct business. As part of their routine regulatory oversight process, the NEDOI conducts periodic detailed examinations, generally once every three to five years, of the books, records, accounts and operations of Ability. The NEDOI began its regularly-scheduled triennial examination of Ability for the period of 2020-2022 in August 2023, completing its examination and issuing its final report on October 25, 2024.

Financial Tests

The NAIC has developed a set of financial relationships or “tests,” known as the Insurance Regulatory Information System, or IRIS, which is designed for early identification of companies that may require special attention or action by insurance regulatory authorities. Insurance companies submit data annually to the NAIC, which in turn analyzes the data by utilizing ratios. State insurance regulators review this statistical report, which is available to the public, together with an analytical report, prepared by and available only to state insurance regulators, to identify insurance companies that appear to require immediate regulatory attention. A “usual range” of results for each ratio is used as a benchmark.

Risk-Based Capital Requirements

In order to enhance the regulation of insurers’ solvency, the NAIC has adopted a model law to implement RBC requirements for life insurers. All states have adopted the NAIC’s model law or a substantively similar law. The NAIC Risk-Based Capital Model Act requires insurance companies to submit an annual RBC Report, which compares an insurer’s total adjusted capital with its authorized control level RBC. A company’s RBC is calculated by using a specified formula that applies factors to various specified assets, premium, claim, expense, and reserve items. The factors are higher for those items with greater underlying risk and lower for items with less underlying risk.

The RBC Report is used by insurance regulators to set in motion appropriate regulatory actions relating to insurers that show indications of weak or deteriorating conditions. RBC is an additional standard for minimum capital requirements that insurers must meet to avoid being placed in receivership by regulators. The annual RBC Report, and the information contained therein, is not intended by the NAIC as a means to rank insurers.

RBC is a method of measuring the minimum amount of capital appropriate for an insurance company to support its overall business operations in light of its size and risk profile. It provides a means of setting the capital requirement in which the degree of risk taken by the insurer is the primary determinant. The value of an insurer’s
271

Total Adjusted Capital, which is the sum of its year-end statutory capital and surplus, in relation to its RBC, together with its trend in its Total Adjusted Capital, is used as a basis for determining regulatory action that a state insurance regulator may be authorized or required to take with respect to an insurer.

Ability is subject to risk based capital ("RBC") standards and other minimum capital and surplus requirements imposed by state laws. Regulatory capital requirements for Ability are determined in accordance with statutory requirements of the Nebraska Department of Insurance. The minimum RBC ratio for Ability is 200% and Ability must have a ratio in excess of 300% to be able to reinsure new business. Regulatory action is triggered beginning at 200% RBC and below. The regulatory action varies with Risk based capital level as follows: (i) if a company's total adjusted capital is less than 200% but greater than or equal to 150% of its authorized control level RBC, the company shall submit a risk-based capital plan to the regulatory authority highlighting conditions which contributed to lower adjusted capital and proposing corrective actions aimed at improving its capital position; (ii) if a company's total adjusted capital is less than 150% but greater than or equal to 70% of its authorized control level RBC, the regulatory authority will perform such examination and analysis of the assets, liabilities, and operations including a review of its risk-based capital plan of the company as deemed necessary and issue an order specifying the corrective actions that must be taken; (iii) if a company's total adjusted capital is less than 70%, the regulatory authority may take any action it deems necessary, including placing the company under regulatory control. Ability’s RBC ratio is tested annually at the end of Ability’s financial year and estimated on a quarterly basis. 

Market Conduct Exams

Ability is subject to periodic market conduct exams (“MCE”) in any jurisdiction where it does business. An MCE typically entails review of business activities, such as operations and management, complaint handling, marketing and sales, producer licensing, policyholder service, underwriting, and claims handling. Regulators may impose fines and penalties upon finding violations of regulations governing such business activities.

Form Approvals

Ability is subject to state laws and regulations regarding form approvals. In most states, insurance policies are subject to prior regulatory approval in the state in which the policy is sold.

Unfair Claims Practices

Insurance companies are prohibited by state statutes from engaging in unfair claims practice. Unfair claims practices include, but are not limited to, misrepresenting pertinent facts or insurance policy provisions; failing to acknowledge and act reasonably promptly upon communications with respect to claims arising under insurance policies; and attempting to settle a claim for less than the amount to which a reasonable person would have believed such person was entitled.

Regulation of Investments

Ability is subject to state laws that restrict the kinds of investments it may make. These laws require diversification of investment portfolios and limit the amounts of investments in certain asset categories, such as below-investment grade fixed income securities, equity real estate, other equity investments, and derivatives. Failure to comply with these requirements and limitations could cause affected investments to be treated as non-admitted assets for purposes of measuring statutory surplus and, in some instances, could require the divestiture of such non-qualifying investments. Ability’s investment guidelines, including its Derivative Use Plan, have been filed with the NEDOI.

Statutory Accounting Practices

SAP are a basis of accounting developed to assist insurance regulators in monitoring and regulating the solvency of insurance companies. SAP is primarily concerned with measuring an insurer’s solvency. Statutory
272

accounting focuses on valuing assets and liabilities of insurers at financial reporting dates in accordance with appropriate insurance law and regulatory provisions applicable in each insurer’s domiciliary state.

U.S. GAAP is concerned with a company’s solvency, but is also concerned with other financial measurements, principally income and cash flows. Accordingly, U.S. GAAP gives more consideration to appropriately matching revenue and expenses and accounting for management’s stewardship of assets than does SAP. As a result, different assets and liabilities and different amounts of assets and liabilities will be reflected in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP as compared to SAP.

Enterprise Risk and other Developments

The NAIC, as part of its solvency modernization initiative, has engaged in a concerted effort to strengthen the ability of U.S. state insurance regulators to monitor U.S. insurance holding company groups. The holding company reform efforts at the NAIC culminated in December 2010 in the adoption of significant amendments to the NAIC’s Insurance Holding Company System Regulatory Act (the “Model Holding Company Act”) and its Insurance Holding Company System Model Regulation (the “Model Holding Company Regulation”). Among other things, the revised Model Holding Company Act and Model Holding Company Regulation explicitly address “enterprise” risk — the risk that an activity, circumstance, event, or series of events involving one or more affiliates of an insurer will, if not remedied promptly, be likely to have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition or liquidity of the insurer or its insurance holding company system as a whole — and require annual reporting of potential enterprise risk as well as access to information to allow the state insurance regulator to assess such risk. In addition, the Model Holding Company Act amendments include a requirement to the effect that any person divesting control over an insurer must provide 30 days’ notice to the regulator and the insurer (with an exception for cases where a Form A is being filed). The amendments direct the domestic state insurance regulator to determine those instances in which a divesting person will be required to file for and obtain approval of the transaction. Some form of the 2010 amendments to the Model Holding Company Act and the Model Holding Company Act Regulation has been adopted in all states.

Consumer Protection Laws and Privacy and Data Security Regulation

Federal and state consumer protection laws affect Mount Logan’s operations. As part of the Dodd-Frank Act, Congress established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to supervise and regulate institutions that provide certain financial products and services to consumers. In addition, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 implemented fundamental changes in the regulation of the financial services industry in the United States and includes privacy and security requirements for financial institutions, including obligations to protect and safeguard consumers’ nonpublic personal information and records, limitations on the re-disclosure and re-use of such information, and requirements to notify customers and other individuals about their policies and practices relating to their collection and disclosure of such information and their practices relating to protecting the security and confidentiality of that information.

In addition to federal and other financial institution-specific privacy laws and regulations, an increasing number of states are considering and passing comprehensive privacy legislation. The issues surrounding data security and the safeguarding of consumers’ protected information are under increasing regulatory scrutiny by state and federal regulators.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF MOUNT LOGAN

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Mount Logan Capital Inc.'s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes within this quarterly report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those included in the section of this report entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” The highlights listed below have had significant effects on many items within our condensed consolidated financial statements and affect the comparison of the current period’s activity with those of prior periods.
Nature of Business
General
Mount Logan’s Business
Mount Logan, together with its consolidated subsidiaries is an alternative asset management and insurance solutions company. Mount Logan manages its business through two business segments: Asset Management and Insurance Solutions. Its Asset Management segment is focused on investing in and actively managing credit investment opportunities in North America through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mount Logan Management LLC (“ML Management”). The Insurance Solutions segment is conducted by Ability Insurance Company (“Ability”), a Nebraska domiciled insurer, that specializes in reinsuring annuity products for the increasing number of individuals seeking to fund retirement needs. Ability also holds a run-off book of long-term care policies. As of March 31, 2025, Mount Logan had a team of 29 employees.
Asset Management
Our Asset Management segment focuses on generating recurring asset management fee streams across a variety of credit investing strategies. Mount Logan raises, invests and manages funds, accounts and other vehicles with an emphasis on private credit. As of March 31, 2025, Mount Logan had a total AUM of $2.4 billion.
As an alternative asset manager, through Mount Logan’s wholly and partially owned SEC-registered investment advisers (“RIAs”), Mount Logan earns management and incentive fees for providing investment advisory and management services to multiple diversified investment vehicles, which include Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions segment. The majority of these vehicles are permanent or semi-permanent capital, generating recurring management and fee-related performance fees from indefinite term vehicles, that are measured and received on a recurring basis, primarily focused on North American and European direct and indirect private loan origination in the middle-market across the capital structure, as well as corporate credit, specialty finance, and other mandates across managed accounts and CLOs. Mount Logan benefits from its investment in and expansion into high-growth areas of private credit and private solutions investing, including asset-backed finance, opportunistic credit, and venture and growth lending. Beyond participation in the traditional primary and secondary credit markets, through Mount Logan’s origination and corporate solutions capabilities, Mount Logan seeks to originate assets with attractive risk-adjusted returns, in the funds Mount Logan manages, through the employment of rigorous and deep diligence on the opportunities Mount Logan assesses.
Through Mount Logan’s RIAs, Mount Logan seeks to invest in well-established middle market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries (i.e., no concentration in any one industry). Mount Logan employs fundamental credit analysis, targeting investments in businesses with relatively low levels of cyclicality and operating risk. Mount Logan has experience managing levered vehicles, both public and private, and seek to enhance returns through the prudent use of leverage with a conservative approach that prioritizes downside protection and capital preservation. Mount Logan believes this strategy and approach offers attractive risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility featuring the potential for fewer defaults and greater resilience through market cycles.
274


The amount of fees charged for managing these assets depends on the underlying investment strategy, vehicle being managed, liquidity profile, and, ultimately, Mount Logan’s ability to generate returns for Mount Logan’s clients. After expenses associated with generating fee-related revenues, Mount Logan measures the resulting earnings stream “Fee Related Earnings” or “FRE”, which represents the primary performance measure for the Asset Management segment. FRE is the sum of (i) management fees, (ii) performance fees received from certain managed funds (iii) equity investment earnings related to fee generating vehicles, and (iv) interest income attributable to investment management activity, less (a) fee-related compensation, excluding equity-based compensation, and (b) other associated operating expenses, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and interest and other credit facility expenses. FRE excludes non-fee generating revenues and expenses, transaction-related charges, equity-based compensation costs, the amortization of intangible assets, the operating results of VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements, and any other non-recurring income and expenses. In addition, FRE excludes interest and other financing costs related to the Company not attributable to any specific segment, and corporate overhead expenses incurred to support the operations of the business rather than directly fee-related. Management considers these types of costs corporate in nature, and are included only for reconciliation purposes to income (loss) before income tax (provision) benefit.
The Asset Management segment also holds minority interests in two Canadian asset managers and in Sierra Crest Investment Management ("SCIM"), which manages Portman Ridge Finance Corp. ("Portman"), a United States business development company, and Alternative Credit Income Fund ("ACIF"), a closed-end interval fund that invests in a portfolio of public and private credit investments. SCIM is majority owned by BCPA.
Insurance Solutions
Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions segment is operated by Ability, a Nebraska domiciled insurer and reinsurer of long-term care ("LTC") policies and retirement savings products, licensed in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Upon closing of the acquisition of Ability in late 2021, ML Management entered into an investment management agreement with Ability (the "Ability IMA") to manage certain of Ability’s assets that are within the scope of ML Management’s expertise in providing investment management advisory services (the assets of Ability managed by ML Management referred to herein as the "Managed Ability Portfolio"). In the second quarter of 2022, management began to implement its plan to expand and diversify the Insurance Solutions business, including ceasing to insure new long-term care risk and, instead, reinsuring multi-year guaranteed annuity ("MYGA") policies. The Insurance Solutions segment also includes the economic benefits of the three Cornhusker CLOs (collectively, the "Cornhusker CLOs"), which represent consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Annuity policies are contracts with insurers where individuals agree to pay a certain amount of money, either in a lump sum or through installments, which entitles them to receive a series of payments at a future date.
Long-term care insurance policies reimburse policyholders a daily amount, upon meeting certain requirements, for services to assist with daily living as they age. Ability's long-term care portfolio's morbidity risk has been largely reinsured to third-parties.
A reinsurance contract is a type of insurance contract that is issued by an entity (the reinsurer) to compensate another entity (the cedant) for claims arising from insurance contract(s) issued by the cedant. 
Consistent with the overall business strategy, Ability assumes certain policy risks written by other insurance companies and cedes insurance risks to reinsurers. Reinsurance accounting is applied for reinsurance transactions when risk transfer provisions have been met. Ability reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. Ability does not have any assumed or ceded reinsurance contracts for the LTC line of business that do not meet risk transfer requirements. The MYGA line of business does not meet the risk requirements to qualify as an insurance contract and is therefore considered an investment contract.
275

Ability uses ceded reinsurance contracts in the normal course of business to manage its risk exposure. For each of its reinsurance agreements, cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge Ability’s obligations as the primary insurer. Reinsurance assets represent the benefit derived from reinsurance agreements in force at the reporting date, considering the financial condition of the reinsurer. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in accordance with the terms of the relevant reinsurance contract and historical reinsurance recovery information. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are based on what Ability believes are reasonable estimates and the balance is reported as an asset in the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. However, the ultimate amount of the reinsurance recoverable is not known until all claims are settled.  
Mount Logan provides a full suite of services for Ability's investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisitions asset diligence and certain operational support services, including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions business focuses on generating spread income by combining the two core competencies of (1) sourcing long-term, persistent liabilities through reinsurance treaties and (2) using the scale and reach of Mount Logan’s Asset Management business to actively source or originate assets with Ability's preferred risk and return characteristics. Ability's investment philosophy is to invest a portion of its assets in securities that earn an incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk and capitalize on its long-dated, persistent liability profile to prudently achieve higher net investment earned rates, rather than assuming incremental credit risk. Because Ability maintains discipline in reinsuring attractively priced liabilities, it has the ability to invest in a broad range of high-quality assets to generate attractive earnings.
Mount Logan uses Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”) to assess the performance of the Insurance Solutions segment. SRE is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Insurance Solutions segment, excluding certain market volatility, which consists of investment gains (losses), other income and certain general, administrative & other expenses. For the Insurance Solutions segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment earnings on Insurance Solutions segment’s net invested assets (excluding investment earnings on funds held under reinsurance contracts and modified coinsurance agreement), less (ii) cost of funds (as described below), (iii) compensation and benefits, (iv) interest expense and (v) operating expenses. SRE represents the difference between actual earnings generated on the assets and investments made and the interest or crediting rate guaranteed to policyholders or participants. Rather than increasing allocations to higher risk securities to increase yields, or returns, on the assets invested, Ability and ML Management focus on proprietary origination of high-quality, predominantly senior secured loans and assets, which Mount Logan believes reduce downside risk.
The diagram below depicts Mount Logan’s current organizational structure:

276

Note: The organizational structure chart above depicts a simplified version of the Mount Logan structure. It does not include all legal entities in the structure.
Business Environment
Industry Trends and Market Conditions
Mount Logan’s asset management and insurance solutions businesses are affected by the conditions in the political environment and financial markets and economic conditions of the United States, such as changes in interest rates, availability of credit, and inflation rates (including persistent inflation). These conditions can significantly impact the performance of Mount Logan’s business, including, but not limited to, the valuation of investments, including those of the vehicles Mount Logan manages, and related income Mount Logan may recognize.
Mount Logan carefully monitors economic and market conditions that could potentially give rise to market volatility and affect its business operations, which include inflation and benchmark interest rates. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual U.S. inflation rate decreased slightly from 2.9% as of December 31, 2024 to 2.4% as of March 31, 2025. This easing of inflation was part of a broader trend of declining inflationary pressures. The Federal Reserve finished the first quarter of 2025 with a benchmark interest rate target range of 4.25% to 4.5%, unchanged from its December 2024 meeting. While the Federal Reserve in the United States and central banks in other countries have begun to cut interest rates as inflation rates have gradually weakened, they may raise rates again in the future due to ongoing inflation concerns. This potential increase, combined with reduced government spending and financial market volatility, could further elevate economic uncertainty and associated risks. Additionally, interest rate hikes or other government measures aimed at curbing inflation might lead to recessionary pressures globally. Such a recession could significantly and adversely impact Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, operational results, liquidity, and cash flows.
Moreover, Ability is materially affected by conditions in the capital markets and the U.S. economy generally. Actual or perceived stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in financial asset classes or various capital and credit markets may have an adverse effect on Mount Logan’s insurance business because such conditions may decrease the returns on, and value of, its investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Environment
Medium and long-term rates decreased in the first quarter of 2025, with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield at 4.23% as of March 31, 2025 compared to 4.58% as of December 31, 2024. Short term rates decreased in the first quarter of 2025, with the 3-month secured overnight financing rate at 4.29% as of March 31, 2025 compared to 4.31% as of December 31, 2024.
With respect to the Insurance Solutions segment, Ability's investment portfolio consists predominantly of fixed maturity investments. Both rising and declining interest rates can negatively affect the income Ability derives from these interest rate spreads. During periods of rising interest rates, Ability may be contractually obligated to reimburse its clients for the greater amounts they credit on certain interest-sensitive products. However, Ability may not have the ability to immediately acquire investments with interest rates sufficient to offset the increased crediting rates on its reinsurance contracts. During periods of falling interest rates, Ability’s investment earnings will be lower because new investments in fixed maturity securities will likely bear lower interest rates. Ability may not be able to fully offset the decline in investment earnings with lower crediting rates on underlying annuity products related to certain of its reinsurance contracts. Higher interest rates may result in increased surrenders on interest-based products of Ability’s clients, which may affect its fees and earnings on those products. Lower interest rates may result in lower sales of certain insurance and investment products of Ability’s clients, which would reduce the demand for its reinsurance of these products. If interest rates remain low for an extended period, it may adversely affect Ability’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Ability addresses interest rate risk through managing the duration of the liabilities it sources with assets it acquires through asset/liability management (“ALM”) programs. As part of its investment strategy, Ability purchases floating rate investments, which are
277

expected to perform well in a rising interest rate environment and are expected to underperform in a declining rate environment. Ability manages its floating interest rate risk in a declining rate environment through hedging activity.
As of March 31, 2025, Ability's net invested asset portfolio included $375 million of floating rate investments, or 52% of its net invested assets. In periods of prolonged low interest rates, the net investment spread may be negatively impacted by reduced investment income to the extent that Ability is unable to adequately reduce policyholder crediting rates due to policyholder guarantees in the form of minimum crediting rates or otherwise due to market conditions. A significant majority of the MYGA policies Ability reinsures have crediting rates that reset upon renewal. While Ability has the contractual right to not accept the renewals, its willingness to do so may be limited by competitive pressures.
Significant interest rate risk may arise from mismatches in the timing of cash flows from Ability’s assets and liabilities. Management of interest rate risk at the company-wide level, and at the various operating company levels, is one of the main risk management activities in which MLC senior management engages. 
Interest rate sensitivity 
The following table summarizes the potential impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates on Mount Logan’s debt investments, future policy benefits, and interest rate swaps assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables remaining constant for the Insurance Solutions segment. The impact of interest rates sensitivity on the Asset Management segment is immaterial.

Actual results may differ significantly from these sensitivity analyses. As such, the sensitivities should only be viewed as directional estimates of the underlying sensitivities for the respective factors based on the assumptions outlined above.
During the first quarter of 2024, Mount Logan entered into interest rate swaps to economically hedge fair value interest rate risk on floating rate debt investments. Mount Logan does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value with subsequent changes therein recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Mount Logan's derivative instruments are disclosed below:

Overview of Results of Operations
Financial Measures under U.S. GAAP - Asset Management
The following discussion of financial measures under U.S. GAAP is based on Mount Logan's Asset Management business as of March 31, 2025.
Revenues
Management fees 
Mount Logan provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, managed accounts and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee. The significant growth of assets Mount Logan manages has had a positive effect on Mount Logan’s revenues. Management fees are determined quarterly using an annual rate which are generally based upon (i) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (ii) net asset value, gross assets, or as otherwise provided in the respective agreements. Management fees are recognized over time, during the period in which the related services are performed.
Incentive fees 
Mount Logan provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, managed accounts and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee, as discussed above and, in some cases an incentive fee, a type of performance revenue. The incentive fee consists of two parts: (i) an income incentive fee which is based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a hurdle rate and (ii) a capital gains incentive fee which is based on cumulative realized capital gains and losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as they are based on the fund achieving certain investment return hurdles. Accordingly, the recognition of such fee is deferred until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur, which is generally upon liquidation of the investment fund.
The following table summarizes Mount Logan’s (i) management fees and (ii) incentive fees by fee generating vehicle:

Management fees earned indirectly through ML Management’s 24.99% interest in SCIM, which is the manager of Portman, are excluded as management fee revenue, but are paid as cash distributions from SCIM.
(3)ML Management as the adviser to two CLOs, 2018-01 and 2019-01, earns senior and subordinated management fees on these vehicles, calculated on the outstanding collateral balance. CLO 2018-1 earns 0.25% senior and 0.35% subordinated fees, and 2019-1 earns 0.25% senior and 0.25% subordinated fees. These rates are fixed for the life of the transaction and are not subject to repricing.
(4)ML Management is the adviser to OCIF and earns management and incentive fees directly from this fund. Base management fees are earned at 1.25% of gross assets. Incentive fees are realized when the fund reaches a hurdle rate of return each quarter, based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income. When OCIF’s pre-incentive net investment income – i.e. interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter, less OCIF’s operating expenses for the quarter – exceeds the hurdle rate of return on OCIF’s adjusted capital of 1.5% (or 6% annualized), ML Management earns an incentive fee at 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income. All incentive fees recognized are considered realized as they are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. All recorded incentive fees have been subsequently received in cash. Separately, Mount Logan receives the economics of ACIF, which is an interval fund advised by SCIM, via a servicing agreement with SCIM over ACIF. The SCIM servicing fee over ACIF is excluded.
(5)Mount Logan as the general partner accrues base management fees, calculated monthly, due and payable either monthly or quarterly in arrears at 0.125% of the net assets in the Ovation funds. Incentive fees, calculated monthly, due and payable quarterly in arrears, are calculated as 10% of pre-incentive fee distributable income. If pre-incentive fee distributable income amounts do not exceed 0% in any fiscal quarter, such shortfall (a “High Watermark Shortfall”) will carry forward to subsequent quarters. No incentive fees are payable to the general partner in any fiscal quarter in which a High Watermark Shortfall exists.
280

(6)Consists of several small, closed end private funds which are sub-advised by ML Management at 1% of net assets, as well as management fees earned from a portfolio of Vista Life & Casualty Reinsurance Company’s (Vista) assets to which ML Management was appointed as the investment manager of, effective March 2025, at a rate of 1% on the average statutory book value of investments under management. Only fees which are crystallized and not subject to reversal are recognized and included.
(7)Management and incentive fees receivable are part of Other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The fee rates described above are contractually fixed, however Mount Logan retains the right to voluntarily waive all or a portion of any management or incentive fee in circumstances where doing so would better align the economic interests of Mount Logan and the investors in a particular vehicle. Any such waiver would be approved by the applicable fund board.

Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
The most significant expense in Mount Logan’s Asset Management business is compensation and benefits expense. This consists of fixed salary, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, profit sharing expense associated with the performance fees earned and compensation expense associated with the vesting of non-cash equity-based awards. Mount Logan’s current compensation arrangements with certain of its employees include non-cash equity-based awards, which are considered to be ‘performance-based incentives.’ The non-cash equity-based awards are granted subject to management’s discretion and approval by the Board of Directors. There are no clawback provisions associated with the non-cash equity-based awards; however, they are subject to a time-based vesting requirement and continued employment. To date, Mount Logan has not paid any profit sharing associated with performance fees. Because of these performance-based incentives, as Mount Logan’s net revenues increase, Mount Logan’s compensation costs rise. Mount Logan’s compensation costs also reflect the increased investment in people as Mount Logan continues to grow its AUM both organically and inorganically.
Mount Logan grants equity awards to certain directors, officers, service providers and employees, consisting of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") that generally vest and become exercisable in annual installments depending on the award terms. See Note 19 Equity based Compensation to Mount Logan’s condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of equity-based compensation.
Administration and servicing fees
On November 20, 2018, Mount Logan entered into a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) with BCPA. Under the terms of the Servicing Agreement, BCPA as servicing agent (the "Servicing Agent") performs (or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of Mount Logan, including, without limitation, office facilities, equipment, bookkeeping and record keeping services and such other services the Servicing Agent, subject to review by the Board, shall from time to time deem necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement. The Servicing Agent is authorized to enter into sub-administration agreements as determined to be necessary in order to carry out the administrative services.
Unless earlier terminated as described below, the Servicing Agreement will remain in effect from year-to-year if approved annually by (i) the vote of the Board and (ii) the vote of a majority of Mount Logan’s independent directors. The Servicing Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice by the vote of the Board or by the Servicing Agent.
Mount Logan reimburses BCPA for an allocable portion of compensation paid to Mount Logan’s Chief Financial Officer, associated management personnel (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business affairs of Mount Logan), and out-of-pocket expenses. While the Servicing Agent
281

performs certain administrative functions for Mount Logan, the management functions of Mount Logan are wholly performed by Mount Logan’s management team.
Mount Logan provides administrative and reporting services to SCIM in respect of the management of ACIF in exchange for a servicing fee. The servicing fee is variable consideration as it is calculated quarterly based on the fees received by SCIM under its advisory agreement with ACIF, less a specified fee retained by SCIM, debt servicing expense, compensation and other certain expenses SCIM incurs in connection with investment advisory services it provides to ACIF. As Mount Logan determined it acts as the agent in this relationship, Mount Logan recognizes in income the amount it is entitled to receive or obligated to pay. In the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, uncollected amounts are classified as Due from related parties when money is owed to Mount Logan and money owed by Mount Logan is presented as Due to related parties. 
Financial Measures under U.S. GAAP - Insurance Solutions
The following discussion of financial measures under U.S. GAAP is based on Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions business, which is operated by Ability, as of March 31, 2025.
Revenues
Net premiums
Net premiums for long-duration contracts, including products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits, are recognized as revenue when due from policyholders. Insurance premiums are reported net of reinsurance ceded premiums.
Product charges
Product charges mainly include surrender charges on MYGA product which are earned when assessed against policyholder account balances during the period.
Net investment income
Net investment income is a significant component of Ability's total revenues. Ability recognizes investment income as it accrues or is legally due, net of investment management and custody fees. Investment income on fixed maturity securities includes coupon interest, as well as the amortization of any premium and the accretion of any discount. Investment income on equity securities represents dividend income and preferred coupon interest.
Net gains (losses) from investment activities
Investment related gains (losses) primarily consist of (i) realized gains and losses on sales of investments, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on trading securities, (iii) unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, (iv) changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives and derivatives not designated as a hedge, and (v) changes in the provision for credit losses.
Net revenues of consolidated variable interest entities
Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are presented within net revenues of consolidated variable interest entities.
282

Net investment income (loss) on funds withheld
Net gains (losses) on funds withheld consists of investment activity pertaining to funds withheld assets which includes any interest income, unrealized gains, and losses, and realized gains and losses from sales of these assets.
Ceded reinsurance – Funds withheld with Front Street Re  
Mount Logan has a coinsurance with funds withheld arrangement with Front Street Re covering a significant portion of the LTC business (the “Medico” block of policies). Under the funds withheld arrangement, assets are retained by Mount Logan; however, all investment activity pertaining to those assets are passed through to Front Street Re. Investment activity includes any interest income, unrealized gains, and losses, and realized gains and losses from sales of these assets.  The liability for this funds held arrangement is in the liability section of the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the income statement items related to this contract are in the line item net investment income (loss) on funds withheld in the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.   
Ceded reinsurance – Modified coinsurance with Vista Life and Casualty Reinsurance Company  
Mount Logan also has a modified coinsurance (“Modco”) agreement with Vista Life and Casualty Reinsurance Company (“Vista”). Pursuant to such agreement, Mount Logan retains assets in a designated custody account to support the quota share of the ceded Modco reserves. Similar to a funds withheld arrangement, all investment activity pertaining to those assets are passed through to Vista. Investment activity includes any interest income, unrealized gains, and losses, and realized gains and losses from sales on these assets.  The liability for this funds held agreement is netted against the reinsurance recoverable of the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the income statement items related to this contract are in the line item net investment income (loss) on funds withheld in the Insurance Consolidated Statement of Operations.    
Expenses
Interest sensitive contract benefits
Liabilities for the MYGA investment contracts equal the account value, that is, the amount that accrues to the benefit of the contract or policyholder including credited interest and assessments through the financial statement date. Changes in interest sensitive contract liabilities, excluding deposits and withdrawals, are recorded in interest sensitive contract benefits or product charges on the consolidated statements of operations.
Net policy benefit and claims
Net policy benefit and claims represent the present value of future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. The liability is measured for each group of contracts (i.e., cohorts) using current cash flow assumptions. Contracts are grouped into cohorts by line of business, product type and cash flow streams, based on the date the policy was acquired (which for the entire LTC portfolio is the date of the acquisition of Ability Insurance). Future policy benefit reserves are adjusted each period because of updating lifetime net premium ratios for differences between actual and expected experience with the retroactive effect of those variances recognized in current period earnings. Mount Logan reviews at least annually in the third quarter, future policy benefit reserves cash flow assumptions, and if the review concludes that the assumptions need to be updated, future policy benefit reserves are adjusted retroactively based on the revised net premium ratio using actual historical experience, updated cash flow assumptions, and the locked-in discount rate with the effect of those changes recognized in current period earnings.
As Mount Logan’s LTC business is in run-off, the locked-in discount rate is used for the computation of interest accretion on future policy benefit reserves recognized in earnings. However, cash flows used to estimate future policy benefit reserves are also discounted using an upper-medium grade (i.e., low credit risk) fixed-income
283

instrument yield reflecting the duration characteristics of the liabilities and is updated each reporting period with changes recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). As a result, changes in the current discount rate at each reporting period are recognized as an adjustment to AOCI and not earnings each period, whereas, changes relating to cash flow assumptions are recognized in the Insurance Statement of Earnings (Loss).
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs
Mount Logan incurs significant costs in connection with its renewals for its MYGA business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of MYGA contracts are capitalized as Deferred Acquisition Costs (“DAC”).  Such costs for Mount Logan are comprised mostly of incremental direct costs of contract acquisitions, which for Mount Logan are primarily commissions. Deferred acquisition costs will be amortized to expense on a straight-line basis, at the individual level over the expected term of the related contract.    
All other acquisition-related costs, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. 
Compensation and Benefits
This consists of fixed salary, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses.
Interest expense
This includes interest expense on the debt obligations.
General, administrative and other
General, administrative and other expenses include normal operating expenses, integration, restructuring and other non-operating expenses.
Other Financial Measures under U.S. GAAP
Income Taxes
Mount Logan’s income tax expense remained relatively flat in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. In 2025 Mount Logan incurred an income tax expense of less than $0.1 million while in 2024 Mount Logan received a small tax benefit of less than $0.1 million.
Managing Business Performance - Key Segment and Non-U.S. GAAP Performance Measures
Mount Logan believes that the presentation of Segment Income supplements a reader’s understanding of the economic operating performance of each of Mount Logan’s segments.
Segment Income is the key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of the Asset Management and Insurance Solutions segments. See Note 22. Segment Income to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more details regarding the components of Segment Income and management’s consideration of Segment Income. Mount Logan believes that Segment Income is helpful for an understanding of Mount Logan’s business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze Mount Logan’s segment performance. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of operations discussed in “Overview of Results of Operations” that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Fee Related Earnings and Spread Related Earnings
Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. FRE is the sum of (i) management fees, (ii) performance fees received from certain
284

managed funds (iii) equity investment earnings related to fee generating vehicles, and (iv) interest income attributable to investment management activity, less (a) fee-related compensation, excluding equity-based compensation, and (b) other associated operating expenses, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and interest and other credit facility expenses.
FRE excludes non-fee generating revenues and expenses, transaction-related charges, equity-based compensation costs, the amortization of intangible assets, the operating results of VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements, and any other non-recurring income and expenses. In addition, FRE excludes interest and other financing costs related to the Company not attributable to any specific segment, and corporate overhead expenses incurred to support the operations of the business rather than directly fee-related. Management considers these types of costs corporate in nature, and are included only for reconciliation purposes to income (loss) before income tax (provision) benefit.
Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”) is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Insurance Solutions segment, excluding certain market volatility, which consists of investment gains (losses), other income and certain general, administrative & other expenses. For the Insurance Solutions segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment earnings on Insurance Solutions segment’s net invested assets (excluding investment earnings on funds held under reinsurance contracts and modified coinsurance agreement), less (ii) cost of funds (as described below), (iii) compensation and benefits, (iv) interest expense and (v) operating expenses.
Cost of funds includes liability costs associated with the crediting cost on MYGA liabilities as well as other liability costs. Other liability costs include DAC amortization, the cost of liabilities associated with LTC, net of reinsurance, which includes change in reserves, premiums, actual claim experience including related expenses and certain product charges related to MYGA.
Mount Logan uses FRE and SRE as measures of operating performance, not as measures of liquidity. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of these measures without consideration of their related U.S. GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described above.

Asset Management Segment
Revenues
Revenues were $3.8 million in 2025, an increase of $0.1 million from $3.7 million in 2024, driven by an increase in management fees and equity investment earnings, offset by a decrease in incentive fees.
286

Management fees increased by $0.6 million to $3.2 million in 2025 from $2.6 million in 2024. The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to higher fees earned from Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund (“OCIF”) due to increased AUM, partially offset by a decrease in management fees from Ovation Alternative Income Fund and Ovation Alternative Income Fund-A LP (collectively the “Ovation funds”) due to the decline in AUM from their wind down, which was announced in mid-2024.
The $0.6 million decrease in incentive fees was driven by investment write-downs in the Ovation funds which resulted in $nil Ovation incentive fees being earned in 2025, compared to $0.6 million earned in 2024.
Equity investment earnings increased by less than $0.1 million due to better net income results in SCIM, which were primarily driven by the decrease in professional fee spend due to active management efforts to reduce costs.
Expenses
Expenses were $12.7 million in 2025, an increase of $4.9 million from $7.8 million in 2024, driven by increases in transaction costs, compensation and benefits, amortization and impairment of intangibles and interest and credit facility expenses, offset by decreases in general, administrative and other expenses, and administrative and servicing fees.
Transaction costs increased $4.3 million in 2025 primarily due to deal costs related to Mount Logan’s merger with TURN, partially offset by the lower credit facility fees as the amendment occurred in 2024.
Compensation and benefits increased $0.7 million in 2025 primarily due to increased headcount, RSUs granted and quarterly guaranteed bonus accruals.
Amortization and impairment of intangible assets increased $0.4 million in 2025 due to a decrease in the remaining useful life and change in amortization method on the IMA purchased in the Ovation GP acquisition, as the underlying fund is being wound down.

Interest and other credit facility expenses increased $0.2 million in 2025 primarily due to increased borrowings from upsizing our existing credit facility during the fourth quarter of 2024 and growing paid in kind interest on the debenture units.
The increase in expenses was offset by a $0.5 million decrease in general, administrative and other expenses attributable to the expiration of transition services agreements on assets purchased and non-recurring costs incurred in 2024 related to one of the BDCs managed by ML Management.

Administration and servicing fees were lower by $0.2 million due to the decrease in net economic loss attributable to Mount Logan’s service agreement with SCIM and the decrease in sub-investment management expenses. The decrease in economic loss attributable to the servicing agreement with SCIM was primarily driven by a $0.6 million decrease in expenses under the agreement due to compensation costs moving directly to Mount Logan. Sub-investment management expenses decreased primarily due to fee waivers provided by one sub-investment manager. The decrease in administration and servicing fees was partially offset by an increase in administrative fees due to additional headcount.

Investment and Other Income (Loss)
Total investment and other income increased $1.3 million primarily driven by the increase in unrealized gain on the seller note issued in relation to the Capitala acquisition (refer to note 11 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding Mount Logan’s debt obligations). Other income also contributed to the increase due to tax refunds received in relation to prior period tax returns. The increase in total investment and other income was partially offset by a decrease in dividend income from the partial redemption of OCIF shares.
287

Insurance Solutions Segment
Revenues
Revenues were $11.2 million in 2025, an increase of $0.8 million from $10.4 million in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases in net gains (losses) from investment activities, net investment income (loss) on funds withheld, and product charges. These increases were partially offset by decreases in net investment income, net revenue of consolidated VIEs, and net premiums.
Net gains (losses) from investment activities were gains of $1.5 million in 2025, an increase of $2.3 million from losses of ($0.8) million in 2024, primarily due to a favorable change in the fair value of investment assets. The favorable change in the fair value of investment assets was primarily driven by a decrease in U.S. Treasury rates and bond yields in 2025 compared to 2024, which resulted in an increase in the fair value of existing bonds in 2025 compared to 2024. Consequently, there were higher unrealized gains on these bonds in 2025 compared to 2024.
Net investment income (loss) on funds withheld were a loss of ($5.8) million in 2025, which reflects an decrease of $1.6 million from a loss of ($7.4) million in 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by higher investment related expense on funds withheld assets under the Modco arrangement with Vista. This decrease was partially offset by the favorable change in the fair value of investment assets related to reinsurers under funds withheld/modco arrangement resulting in lower unrealized losses. The favorable change in the fair value was primarily driven by a decrease in bond yield in 2025 compared to 2024.
Product charges were $0.9 million in 2025, which reflects an increase of $0.8 million from $0.1 million in 2024, primarily driven by an increase in surrenders of MYGA policies in 2025 compared to 2024 which resulted in higher surrender charges/product charges paid by policyholders in 2025.
Net investment income was $15.0 million in 2025, a decrease of $2.4 million from $17.4 million in 2024, primarily driven by the decrease in U.S. treasury rates and bond yields, interest expense associated with the interest rate swap in 2025 and higher investment related expense on funds withheld assets under the Modco arrangement with Vista.
Net revenues of consolidated VIEs were $3.6 million in 2025, a decrease of $1.1 million from $4.7 million in 2024, primarily driven by lower investments balance and lower interest rates in 2025 compared to 2024.
Net premiums were ($4.0) million in 2025, a decrease of $0.4 million from ($3.6) million in 2024. The negative net premiums resulted from ceded premiums exceeding direct/assumed premiums within the LTC business. The decrease in net premiums was primarily driven by an increase of $0.2 million in ceded premium related to the LTC business compared to 2024, as well as a decrease of $0.2 million in direct/assumed premium compared to 2024.
Expenses
Expenses were $10.4 million in 2025, an increase of $5.9 million from $4.5 million in 2024. The increase was driven by increases in net policy benefit & claims, interest sensitive contract benefits, DAC amortization, and compensation & benefits, partially offset by a decrease in general, administrative & other expenses.
Net policy benefits and claims were $1.8 million in 2025, an increase of $6.1 million from ($4.3) million in 2024, primarily driven by remeasurement gains of $5.4 million due to the one-time benefit of an in-force update in the LTC business as well as the unfavorable impact of the decrease in treasury yields in 2025 compared to 2024.
Interest sensitive contract benefits were $3.8 million in 2025, an increase of $0.4 million from $3.4 million in 2024, primarily driven by interest accretion on higher interest sensitive contract liabilities in 2025 compared to 2024.
288

DAC amortization was $0.6 million in 2025, an increase of $0.1 million from $0.5 million in 2024, primarily due to additional MYGA business assumed in the second quarter of 2024, which resulted in higher DAC and its amortization in 2025 compared to 2024.
General, administrative & other expenses were $3.7 million in 2025, a decrease of $0.6 million from $4.3 million in 2024. Expenses were lower in 2025 primarily due to lower assumed expenses due to the cessation of MYGA flow in the second quarter of 2024.
Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
Mount Logan’s income tax expense was less than $0.1 million in 2025, an increase from the income tax benefit of less than $0.1 million in 2024. Income taxes were higher in 2025 due to certain book to tax adjustments that reduced Mount Logan’s deferred tax asset balance within the quarter and an increase in Mount Logan’s Canadian current income tax liability as a result of establishing a new Canadian taxable corporation to complete the acquisition of Runway. The (provision) benefit for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (0.54%) and (0.23%) for 2025 and 2024, respectively. The most significant reconciling items between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate were due to the following: (i) foreign accrual property income, as Mount Logan Capital is a Canadian tax paying entity and (ii) changes in deferred tax assets. Mount Logan does not expect a material increase to its consolidated effective tax rate or earnings and results of operations as a result of the utilization of the deferred tax assets, though Mount Logan can provide no assurance that the impacts will not be material in future years. See Note 17. Income Taxes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding Mount Logan’s income tax (provision) benefit.

Discussed below are Mount Logan’s results of operations for each of Mount Logan’s reportable segments. They represent the segment information available and utilized by management to assess performance and to allocate resources. See Note 22. Segments to Mount Logan’s condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding Mount Logan’s segment reporting.

In this section, references to 2024 refer to the three months ended March 31, 2025, and references to 2024 refer to the three months ended March 31, 2024.
FRE was $2.3 million in 2025, an increase of $0.1 million compared to $2.2 million in 2024. FRE was relatively flat primarily because the increase in management fees along with the decrease in other operating expenses were offset by decreases in incentive fees and increases in fee-related compensation.
The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to higher fees earned from OCIF due to increased AUM, partially offset by a decrease in management fees from the Ovation funds due to the decline in AUM from their wind down, and the decrease in management fees from Ability due to one-time expenses which are not expected to continue throughout the remainder of 2025.
The decrease in other operating expenses was primarily driven by the expiration of transition services agreements on assets purchased, the decrease in professional services fee spend due to active management efforts to reduce costs, and a decrease in servicing fees under the agreement with SCIM over ACIF.
Mount Logan’s servicing agreement with SCIM is for ACIF, an interval fund, and is calculated as the gross management and incentive fees paid by ACIF net of expenses incurred under the servicing agreement. During 2025, expenses decreased by $0.6 million primarily due to compensation costs moving directly to Mount Logan’s fee-related compensation line, driving the decrease in net economic loss attributable to the performance of ACIF.
Incentive fees decreased due to investment write-downs in the Ovation funds which resulted in $nil Ovation incentive fees being earned in 2025, compared to $0.6 million earned in 2024.
The increase in fee-related compensation was driven by corresponding growth in fee related revenues and increased headcount.

(1)Ability’s AUM excludes assets held under the funds withheld and modco agreements, and includes a portion of the Vista assets to which ML Management was appointed as the investment manager of, effective March 2025,
(2)ML Management manages Logan Ridge Finance Corporation and through another subsidiary, owns a 24.99% interest in SCIM, which is the manager of Portman.
(3)ML Management is the adviser to two CLOs 2018-01 and 2019-01.
(4)ML Management is the adviser to OCIF. Separately Mount Logan receives the economics of ACIF, which is an interval fund advised by SCIM, via a servicing agreement with SCIM over ACIF.

(5)Consists of several small closed end private funds and AUM which is sub-advised by ML Management.
(6)Inflows generally represent new capital which includes capital contributions, subscriptions, dividend reinvestments, draw downs on leverage facilities, and new MYGA flows and managed reinsurance assets added at Ability. Outflows include redemptions, pay downs on leverage facilities, and claims and benefits payments at Ability. Realizations represent distributions of realized income, repurchases of capital, and repayments on CLO notes. Market activity and other generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments and other changes in AUM.

(7)Represents ACIF’s investment in OCIF.

(8)Several of the above funds are still subject to their annual audits, thus the AUM quoted above represents management’s best estimate of AUM as of March 31, 2025, but may be subject to change.
Three months ended March 31, 2025 versus three months ended March 31, 2024
Total AUM was $2.4 billion at March 31, 2025, an increase from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2024. The increase is attributable to growth in Ability’s AUM from additional capital contribution and the addition of a portion of the Vista portfolio of assets to which Mount Logan has been appointed manager. Mount Logan also saw an increase in interval fund assets as OCIF continued to scale. The total increase in AUM was offset by decreases in AUM across the BDCs, CLOs and Ovation funds. BDC assets decreased due to the underlying decline in performance of assets in their portfolios. CLO assets will continue to decline given both are in post reinvestment period and continue to harvest their assets. Ovation funds’ AUM will also continue to decline pursuant to their wind down.

Spread Related Earnings
SRE was less than $0.1 million in 2025, a decrease of $5.4 million, or 99%, compared to $5.4 million in 2024. The decrease in SRE was primarily driven by higher cost of funds, partially offset by lower general, administrative & other expenses.
Cost of funds increased by $6.1 million, primarily driven by an unfavorable in-force update to the LTC business in the first quarter of 2025 whereas the first quarter of 2024 benefited from a favorable in-force update resulted in a $5.3 million increase in the cost of funds. Additionally, the first quarter of 2025 we observed higher net
292

benefits and an increased provision for credit losses on reinsurance recoverable compared to 2024, which resulted in an additional $0.8 million increase in cost of funds.
General, administrative & other expenses decreased by $0.8 million in 2025 primarily as a result of a decrease in assumed expenses due to the cessation of MYGA flow in the second quarter of 2024.

Net Investment spread0.48%0.63%(15)bps
(1)Excludes changes in future policy benefits liabilities of LTC line of business, to calculate net investment spread, which result from changes in actuarial assumptions and future cash flow projections.
Net investment spread was 0.48% in 2025, a decrease of 15 basis points compared to 0.63% in 2024, primarily driven by lower net investment income and realized gain or (loss) and higher costs of funds in 2025 compared to 2024.
Net investment income and realized gain or (loss) percent represents a percent of net investment income and realized gain (loss) over average net invested assets. Net investment income and realized gain (loss) was flat in 2025 compared to 2024. However, net investment income percent was lower in 2025 primarily due to higher average net invested assets compared to 2024.
Cost of funds percent represents the percent of cost of funds over average net invested assets. Cost of funds were higher in 2025 compared to 2024 primarily due to an unfavorable in-force update to LTC business in the first quarter of 2025 whereas the first quarter of 2024 had a favorable in-force update.
Net invested assets represent investments that directly back Insurance Solutions segment’s net reserve liabilities as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets for Insurance Solutions segment includes (a) total investments on the consolidated statements of financial position, with available-for-sale securities, trading securities and mortgage loans at cost or amortized cost, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE assets, and (f) net investment payables and receivables. Net invested assets exclude the investment assets under funds withheld arrangement with FSR and assets under Modco agreement with Vista. Net invested assets also exclude mark-to-market adjustment (net unrealized gains (losses)) including provision for credit losses recognized in consolidated statement of operations during the year.
Investment Portfolio and Net Investment Spread
Ability had total investments, including related parties and consolidated VIEs, of $1,017 million and $1,043 million as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Total investments have decreased by 2.5% compared to 2024, which is primarily driven by the dispositions of investment assets. Ability’s investment strategy seeks to achieve sustainable risk-adjusted returns through the disciplined management of its investment portfolio against its duration of liabilities. The investment strategies focus primarily on a buy and hold asset allocation strategy that may be adjusted periodically in response to changing market conditions and the nature of Ability’s liability profile. Ability takes advantage of its generally persistent liability profile by identifying investment opportunities with an emphasis on earning incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk rather than assuming incremental credit risk. Ability has selected a diverse array of primarily high-grade fixed income assets including corporate bonds, structured securities and commercial real estate loans, among others. Ability also maintains holdings in floating rate and less rate-sensitive instruments, including CLOs, non-agency RMBS and various types of structured products, both as an expression of its macroeconomic views as well as to capture
293

incremental returns versus fixed rate instruments. Depending on its market outlook, Ability will use financial hedges to increase or reduce its exposure to various macroeconomic factors, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, and / or performance of market indices. In addition to its fixed income portfolio, Ability opportunistically allocates to alternative investments where it primarily focuses on fixed income-like, cash flow-based investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Mount Logan primarily derives revenues and cash flows from the assets it manages and the retirement savings products it issues and reinsures. Based on management’s experience, Mount Logan believes that its current liquidity position, together with the cash generated from revenues will be sufficient to meet Mount Logan’s anticipated expenses and other working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. For the longer-term liquidity needs of the Asset Management business, Mount Logan expects to continue to fund the Asset Management business’s operations through management fees and incentive fees received. The principal sources of liquidity for the Insurance Solutions segment, in the ordinary course of business, are operating cash flows and holdings of cash, cash equivalents and other readily marketable assets. At March 31, 2025, Mount Logan had $125.8 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Primary Uses of Cash
Over the next 12 months, Mount Logan expects its primary liquidity needs will be to:
support the future growth of Mount Logan's businesses through strategic corporate investments;
pay Mount Logan’s operating expenses, including, compensation, general, administrative, and other expenses;
make payments to policyholders for surrenders, withdrawals and payout benefits;
make interest and principal payments on funding agreements;
pay taxes; and
pay cash dividends.
Over the long term, Mount Logan believes it will be able to (i) grow Mount Logan's Assets Under Management and generate positive investment performance in the funds Mount Logan manages, which it expects will allow us to grow its management fees and incentive fees and (ii) grow the investment portfolio of insurance solutions services, in each case in amounts sufficient to cover Mount Logan’s long-term liquidity requirements, which may include:
supporting the future growth of our businesses;
creating new or enhancing existing products and investment platforms;
making payments to policyholders;
pursuing new strategic corporate investment opportunities; and
paying interest and principal on Mount Logan’s financing arrangements.
Cash Flow Analysis
294

The section below discusses in more detail Mount Logan’s primary sources and uses of cash and the primary drivers of cash flows within Mount Logan’s consolidated statements of cash flows:
Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)20252024
Operating activities$(7,782)$(41,304)
Investing activities$53,170 $(17,601)
Financing activities$(8,759)$48,787 
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and cash and cash equivalents of consolidated VIEs, end of period$138,334 $80,102 
Operating Activities
Mount Logan’s operating activities support its Asset Management and Insurance Solutions activities. The primary sources of cash within operating activities include: (a) management and performance fees, (b) insurance premiums, (c) reinsurance recoverable, (d) proceeds for sales of investments from Mount Logan’s consolidated VIEs and (e) cash interest received from investments. The primary uses of cash within operating activities include: (a) investment purchases from Mount Logan’s consolidated VIEs (b) compensation and non-compensation related expenses, (c) benefit payments, (d) cash interest paid on debt obligations and (e) other operating expenses. A significant use of cash within operating activities pertain to future policy benefits incurred in the LTC business. As the LTC business is in run-off, this activity is expected to have less of an impact to cash outflow over time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities reflects Asset Management expense reimbursements to BCPA under the servicing agreement for third-party costs incurred, and interest expense on borrowings. Cash used in operating activities also reflects net cash benefit payments associated with the LTC business, purchases of investments by consolidated VIEs, policy acquisition costs, and other operating expenses within Insurance Solutions segment. These outflows were partially offset by inflows of management fees, realized incentive fees, distributions from SCIM, investment income, reinsurance recoverables related to the LTC business and proceeds from the sale of investments held by consolidated VIEs within Insurance Solutions.
Investing Activities
Mount Logan’s investing activities support the growth of its business. The primary sources of cash within investing activities include sales, maturities and repayments of investments. The primary uses of cash within investing activities include: (a) acquisition of consolidated business(es) and (b) purchases and acquisitions of new investments. The cash flow activities related to MYGA products is split across investing activities and financing activities. As the Company assumes new MYGA products, the receipt of cash is reported in financing activities and the corresponding purchase of securities is reported in investing activities. As a result, as the MYGA portfolio grows, these cash flow activities while related, will continue to present an inflow to financing activities and an outflow to investing activities.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash provided by investing activities primarily reflects the sales, maturities and repayment of investments, partially offset by purchase of investments, mainly available-for-sale (“AFS”) and mortgage loans within Insurance Solutions.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities primarily reflects the purchase of investments due to the deployment of significant cash inflows from the reinsurance of MYGA contracts within Insurance Solutions, partially offset by the sales, maturities and repayments of investments.
Financing Activities
295

Mount Logan’s financing activities reflect its capital market transactions and transactions with equity holders. The primary sources of cash within financing activities primarily include proceeds from debt issuances and proceeds from reinsurance of MYGA. The primary uses of cash within financing activities include dividends paid and repayments of debt.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, cash used in financing activities primarily reflects surrenders or benefit payments related to MYGA policies (classified as investment-type contracts) within the Insurance Solutions segment, and the repayment of debt within the Asset Management segment. These outflows were partially offset by increased borrowings in the Insurance Solutions segment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects proceeds from the issuance of debenture units under the Asset Management segment and net inflows associated with the reinsurance of new MYGA contracts within the Insurance Solutions segment. These inflows were partially offset by repayments on borrowings within Asset Management.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
For a summary and a description of the nature of Mount Logan’s commitments, contingencies and contractual obligations, see Note 23. Commitments and contingencies to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated VIEs
Mount Logan manages its liquidity needs by evaluating unconsolidated cash flows; however, Mount Logan’s financial statements reflect the financial position of Mount Logan as well as consolidated VIEs. The primary sources and uses of cash at Mount Logan's consolidated VIEs include: (a) proceeds from sales, maturities and repayments of investments and (b) purchase of investments.
Dividends and Distributions
For information regarding the quarterly dividends that were made to common stockholders and distribution equivalents on participating securities, see Note 18. Equity to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Although Mount Logan currently expects to pay dividends, Mount Logan may not pay dividends if, among other things, Mount Logan does not have the cash necessary to pay the dividends. To the extent it does not have sufficient cash on hand to pay dividends, Mount Logan may have to borrow funds to pay dividends, or it may determine not to pay dividends. The primary source of funds for dividends is distributions from Mount Logan’s operating subsidiaries, which are expected to be adequate to fund dividends and other cash flow requirements based on current estimates of future obligations. The ability of these operating subsidiaries to make distributions to Mount Logan will depend on satisfying applicable law with respect to such distributions, including surplus and minimum solvency requirements among others. On March 13, 2025 Mount Logan declared a cash dividend of C$0.02 per share of its common stock, which was paid on April 10, 2025, to holders of record at the close of business on April 3, 2025.
Asset Management Liquidity
Mount Logan’s Asset Management business requires limited capital resources to support the working capital or operating needs of the business. For the Asset Management business’s longer term liquidity needs, Mount Logan expects to continue to fund the Asset Management business’s operations through management fees and performance fees received. Liquidity needs are also met through proceeds from borrowings and equity issuances as described in Note 11. Debt Obligations and Note 18. Equity to the condensed consolidated financial statements, respectively. From time to time, if Mount Logan determines that market conditions are favorable after taking into
296

account Mount Logan’s liquidity requirements, we may seek to raise proceeds through the issuance of additional debt or equity instruments.
At March 31, 2025, the Asset Management business had $2.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Future Debt Obligations
The Asset Management business had long-term debt of $75.3 million at March 31, 2025, which includes notes with maturities in 2025, 2027, 2031 and 2032. There are also scheduled incremental repayments of principal on the credit facility in 2025 and 2026. See Note 11. Debt obligations to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Asset Management business’s debt arrangements.
Future Cash Flows
Mount Logan’s ability to execute Mount Logan’s business strategy, particularly Mount Logan’s ability to increase Mount Logan’s AUM, depends on Mount Logan’s ability to establish new funds and to raise additional investor capital within such funds. Mount Logan’s liquidity will depend on a number of factors, such as Mount Logan’s ability to project our financial performance, which is highly dependent on the funds it manage and its ability to manage our projected costs, fund performance, access to credit facilities, compliance with the existing credit agreement, as well as industry and market trends. Also during economic downturns the funds Mount Logan manages might experience cash flow issues or liquidate entirely. In these situations, Mount Logan might be asked to reduce or eliminate the management fee and incentive fees it charges, which could adversely impact Mount Logan’s cash flow in the future. An increase in the fair value of the investments of the funds Mount Logan manages, by contrast, could favorably impact its liquidity through higher management fees where the management fees are calculated based on the net asset value, gross assets or adjusted assets. Additionally, higher incentive fees not yet realized would generally result when investments appreciate over their cost basis which would not have an impact on the Asset Management business’s cash flow until realized.
Consideration of Financing Arrangements
As noted above, the Asset Management business has and may continue to issue debt to supplement its liquidity. The decision to enter into a particular financing arrangement is made after careful consideration of various factors, including the Asset Management business’s cash flows from operations, future cash needs, current sources of liquidity, demand for the Asset Management business’s debt or parent's equity, and prevailing interest rates.
Insurance Solutions Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous. Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash on hand and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Mount Logan also has the ability to raise additional liquidity through the issuance of debt, and through the sale of its portfolio investments. Periodic cash flow forecasts are performed to ensure Ability has sufficient cash to meet operational and financing costs. 
Liquid assets 
Liquid assets, including high-quality assets that are marketable, can be pledged as security for borrowings, and can be converted to cash in a time frame that meets liquidity and funding requirements.

The liquid assets held by Mount Logan's insurance company, Ability, are subject to restrictions which prevent Mount Logan from transferring these assets to other entities within the group without insurance regulatory approvals. These assets are not restricted for use within the insurance company. 
Insurance Subsidiaries’ Operating Liquidity
The primary cash flow sources for Ability include retirement services product inflows, investment income, and principal repayments on its investments. Uses of cash include investment purchases, payments to policyholders for surrenders, withdrawals and payout benefits, interest and principal payments on funding agreements and outstanding debt, policy acquisition and general operating costs.
Ability’s policyholder obligations are generally long-term in nature. However, policyholders may elect to withdraw some, or all, of their account value in amounts that exceed Ability’s estimates and assumptions over the life of an annuity contract. Ability includes provisions within its annuity policies, such as surrender charges and market value adjustments, which are intended to protect it from early withdrawals. As of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, approximately 76% of Ability’s MYGA policies were subject to penalty upon surrender. In addition, as of March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, approximately 83% and 92%, respectively, of policies contained Market Value Adjustments (“MVAs”) that may also have the effect of limiting early withdrawals if interest rates increase but may encourage early withdrawals by effectively subsidizing a portion of surrender charges when interest rates decrease.
Dividends from Insurance Subsidiaries
The NAIC has established minimum capital requirements in the form of RBC that factors the type of business written by an insurance company, the quality of its assets and various other aspects of its business to develop a minimum level of capital known as “authorized control level risk-based capital” and compares this level to adjusted statutory capital that includes capital and surplus as reported under SAP, plus certain investment reserves. Should the ratio of adjusted statutory capital to control level RBC fall below 200%, a series of remedial actions by the affected company would be required. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the RBC ratio of Ability was 325% and 400%, respectively.
The ability to pay dividends is limited by applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where Ability is domiciled, as well as agreement(s) entered into with regulators. These laws and regulations require, among other things, Ability to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends Ability can pay. Nebraska state insurance laws and regulations require that the statutory surplus following any dividend or distribution must be reasonable in relation to their outstanding liabilities and adequate for its financial needs.
Future Debt Obligations
298

Ability had long-term debt of $17.3 million as of March 31, 2025, which includes notes with maturities in 2028, 2032, and 2033. See Note 11. Debt obligations to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding Ability’s debt arrangements.
Capital
Ability believes it has a strong capital position and is well positioned to meet policyholder and other obligations. Ability measures capital sufficiency using various internal capital metrics which reflect management’s view on the various risks inherent to its business, the amount of capital required to support its core operating strategies and the amount of capital necessary to maintain its current ratings in a recessionary environment. The amount of capital required to support Ability’s core operating strategies is determined based upon internal modeling and analysis of economic risk, as well as inputs from rating agency capital models and consideration of NAIC risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements. Capital in excess of this required amount is considered excess equity capital, which is available to deploy. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Ability’s RBC ratio was 325% and 400%, respectively. The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented in Note 2. Summary of significant accounting policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of our accounting policies that are affected most by judgments, estimates and assumptions. 
Critical Accounting Estimates - Overall 
Consolidation 
Mount Logan assesses all entities in which Mount Logan has a variable interest for consolidation including management companies, insurance companies, investment companies, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and other entities. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses and/or receive expected residual returns. Fees earned by Mount Logan that (i) include terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length, (ii) are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, and (iii) where Mount Logan does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, would not be considered to be variable interests.
Pursuant to its consolidation policy, once Mount Logan determines it has a variable interest in an entity, Mount Logan considers whether the entity is a VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are assessed for consolidation as voting interest entities ("VOEs") under the voting interest model. 
An entity is a VIE if one of the following conditions exist: (a) the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the holders of the equity at risk (as a group) lack the ability to make decisions about the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity, or both and substantially all of the legal entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. Limited partnerships and other similar entities where limited partners, not affiliated with the general partner, have not been granted (i) substantive participation rights or (ii) substantive rights to either dissolve the partnership or remove the general partner are VIEs.
299

Mount Logan consolidates VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. Mount Logan is the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest which is defined as possessing both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Mount Logan determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion on an ongoing basis if facts and circumstances change. 
Entities determined not to be VIEs are VOEs and are evaluated under the voting interest model. Mount Logan typically consolidates VOEs when it has a majority voting interest. 
Each entity is assessed for consolidation individually considering the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that entity. The consolidation assessment, including the determination whether an entity is a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances for each entity, and therefore Mount Logan’s investment companies may qualify as VIEs or VOEs.  
With respect to CLOs (which are generally VIEs), as collateral manager, Mount Logan generally has the power to direct the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact the CLO’s economic performance. In some, but not all cases, Mount Logan, through its ownership in the CLOs, may have variable interests that represent an obligation to absorb losses of, or a right to receive benefits from, the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO. In cases where Mount Logan has both the power to direct the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact the CLO’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the CLO or the right to receive benefits from the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO, Mount Logan is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the CLO. 
Assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily presented in separate sections within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are primarily presented within revenues of consolidated variable interest entities and Income of consolidated variable interest entities, for the Asset Management and Insurance Solutions segments, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes 
Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions. Mount Logan recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. Mount Logan’s tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether Mount Logan has uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period during which the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  
Critical Accounting Estimates- Asset Management Segment
Investments, at Fair Value 
On a quarterly basis, Mount Logan utilizes a valuation committee consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to the investments of the funds ML Management manages. Mount Logan also retains external valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to
300

Mount Logan, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the external valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. Mount Logan performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analyses. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The fair values of the investments in the funds Mount Logan manages can be impacted by changes to the assumptions used in the underlying valuation models. There have been no material changes to the valuation approaches utilized during the periods that Mount Logan’s financial results are presented in this report. 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments  
Except for Mount Logan’s debt obligations (each as defined in Note 11. Debt obligations to Mount Logan’s condensed consolidated financial statements), Mount Logan's financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. See “Investments, at Fair Value” above. While Mount Logan's valuations of portfolio investments are based on assumptions that Mount Logan believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Financial instruments’ carrying values generally approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments or variable interest rates related to the borrowings.  
Revenue Recognition 
Management Fees  
ML Management provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee. Management fees are determined quarterly using an annual rate which are generally based upon (i) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (ii) net asset value, gross assets, or as otherwise provided in the respective agreements. Management fees are recognized over time, during the period in which the related services are performed.
Incentive Fees
ML Management provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, managed accounts and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee, as discussed above and, in some cases an incentive fee, a type of performance revenue. The incentive fee consists of two parts: (i) an income incentive fee which is based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a hurdle rate and (ii) a capital gains incentive fee which is based on cumulative realized capital gains and losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as they are based the fund achieving certain investment return hurdles. Accordingly, the recognition of such fee is deferred until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur, which is generally upon liquidation of the investment fund. Accordingly, the recognition of such fee is deferred until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur, which is generally upon liquidation of the investment fund.
Critical Accounting Estimates - Insurance Solutions Segment
Investments 
Mount Logan is responsible for the fair value measurement of investments presented in the consolidated financial statements. Mount Logan performs regular analysis and review of its valuation techniques, assumptions and inputs used in determining fair value to evaluate if the valuation approaches are appropriate and consistently applied, and the various assumptions are reasonable. Mount Logan also performs quantitative and qualitative
301

analysis and review of the information and prices received from commercial pricing services and broker-dealers, to verify it represents a reasonable estimate of the fair value of each investment. In addition, Mount Logan uses both internally-developed and commercially-available cash flow models to analyze the reasonableness of fair values using credit spreads and other market assumptions, where appropriate. For investment funds, Mount Logan typically recognizes its investment, including those for which it has elected the fair value option, based on net asset value information provided by the general partner or related asset manager. For a discussion of investment funds for which it has elected the fair value option, see Note 8. Fair value measurements to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in the business environment may indicate the carrying amount of one of our reporting units may exceed its fair value. Our methodology for conducting this goodwill impairment testing contains both a qualitative and quantitative assessment. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, we perform a qualitative analysis at the reporting unit level to determine whether there are any events or circumstances that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Based on the results of this analysis, if we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then perform the impairment evaluation using a quantitative assessment based on an analysis of the discounted future cash flows generated by the underlying assets. The process of determining whether goodwill is impaired or recoverable relies on projections of future cash flows, operating results and market conditions. Future cash flow estimates are based partly on economic trends such as interest rates and market conditions, which are beyond our control and are likely to fluctuate.

Mount Logan has determined it has two reporting units: (1) LTC, its legacy run-off business, and (2) MYGA and & Other (“MYGA”). The fair value of reporting unit is determined from a projection of future cash flows and operating results derived from both the in-force business and new business expected in the future. This approach requires assumptions including premium growth rates, capital requirements, interest rates, mortality, morbidity, policyholder behavior, and discount rates. These assumptions are consistent with internal projections and operating plans. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. To calculate the fair value of the insurance business, Mount Logan discounted projected earnings from in-force contracts and valued new business growing at expected plan levels,
303

consistent with the periods used for forecasting long term businesses, in addition to considering a terminal value for the value of new business beyond five years at Mount Logan’s long-term growth rate. In arriving at its projections, Mount Logan considered past experience, economic trends such as interest rates, capital requirements and market trends. Capital requirements were based on a risk based capital (RBC) ratio of 350.0%. Excess capital above this requirement was added to the fair value of the reporting units, consistent with market participant treatment. Mount Logan's key assumptions for the new MYGA business were the (i) discrete premium growth rate, (ii) interest rate, and (iii) capital requirements, which are discussed further below:
i.The discrete MYGA premium growth rate in the fair value calculations were based on maintaining management’s target RBC ratio of 350%. RBC of 350% is anticipated to be maintained based on the performance of the investment portfolio and additional capital contributions. We assumed a higher growth rate in initial years with declining growth in the later years as we continue to scale the business;
ii.Interest rate assumptions are based on prevailing market rates at the valuation date; and,
iii.Capital requirements assumed per management’s target RBC ratio of 350%.

Management has not adjusted its assumptions between the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, rather, the discount rate applied to the quantitative assessment has had the most significant impact. Discount rates assumed in determining the fair value for applicable reporting units was based on a cost of equity of 17.5% and 23.5% on an after-tax basis for LTC and MYGA, respectively for impairment testing for the year ended December 31, 2024. Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) was used to estimate the cost of equity. The cost of equity was derived using the 20-year U.S. treasury bond yield and by adding an equity risk premium. The equity risk premium considers 100 basis point and 700 basis point execution risk to account for the risk of achieving the planned forecast for LTC and MYGA, respectively. This represents a change in approach from the year ended December 31, 2023 where discount rates were based on a weighted average cost of capital of 16.0% on an after-tax basis for both LTC and MYGA. Management believes the updated approach better represents the underlying economics of its business. Changes to the discount rate ultimately impact the fair value of each reporting unit, as discussed further below.

We apply significant judgement when determining the estimated fair value of our reporting units. While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, these estimates are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from what is assumed in our impairment tests. Such analyses are particularly sensitive to changes in estimates of discount rates, future cash flows and other market conditions. A 50 basis point increase to the discount rate assumption, all other assumptions remaining constant, would result in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the MYGA reporting unit but not the LTC reporting unit. While a 50 basis point decrease to future cash flows, all other assumptions remaining constant, would not result in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the LTC and/or MYGA reporting units. Management notes that these assumptions are often interdependent and shouldn’t be assessed in isolation. Further changes to these estimates might result in material changes in fair value and determination of the recoverability of goodwill, which may result in charges against earnings and a reduction in the carrying value of our goodwill in the future.

We complete our annual goodwill impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of each period presented using an October 1 measurement date. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we determined from a qualitative standpoint there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value exceeded the fair value. From a quantitative standpoint as of October 1, 2024, we performed our annual quantitative goodwill impairment test for our reporting units, LTC and MYGA, and as of such date, the fair value was in excess of the carrying value for each reporting unit, by 24.3% and 10.7%, respectively.

Derivatives
Freestanding derivatives are instruments that Ability has entered into as part of their overall risk management strategies. Such contracts include interest rate swaps to convert floating-rate interest receipts to fixed-rate interest receipts to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. All derivatives are recognized in Derivatives liability and are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as the swaps are in hedging relationships, with changes in fair value reclassified into Interest income in the same period as the hedged
304

transactions affect earnings. Any interest accruals will flow through earnings as adjustments to Interest income. Ability’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Ability attempts to reduce this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, Ability formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction. This documentation identifies how the hedging instrument is expected to mitigate the designated risk related to the hedged item and the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedge effectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of the hedge accounting relationship.
Ability issues and reinsures products or purchases investments that contain embedded derivatives. If it determines an embedded derivative has economic characteristics not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for separately, unless the Fair Value Option (“FVO”) is elected on the host contract. Under the FVO, bifurcation of the embedded derivative is not necessary as the entire contract is carried at fair value with all related gains and losses recognized in Net gains (losses) from investment activities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Embedded derivatives are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in the same line item as the host contract.
Additionally, reinsurance agreements written on a funds withheld or modco basis contain embedded derivatives. Ability has determined that the obligation to pay the total return on the assets supporting the funds withheld liability represents a total return swap with a floating rate leg. The fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld and modco agreements is computed as the unrealized gain (loss) on the underlying assets and is included within the funds withheld under reinsurance contracts in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
The change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives is recorded in Net investment income (loss) on funds withheld in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Ceded earnings from funds withheld liability and changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives are reported in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Contributions to and withdrawals from funds withheld liability are reported in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Ability’s insurance operations include providing reinsurance related to LTC, as well as MYGA products. Insurance contracts are contracts with significant mortality and/or morbidity risks, while investment contracts are contracts without such risks. MYGA contracts were deemed to be investment contracts. Insurance revenue is comprised primarily of premiums and investment income. For traditional long-duration insurance contracts, Mount Logan reports premiums as revenue when due. Premiums received on MYGA products (a product without significant mortality risk) are not reported as revenue but rather as deposit liabilities. Mount Logan recognizes revenue for charges and assessments on these contracts, mostly relating to surrender charges. Interest credited to policyholder accounts is charged to expense.
Future policy benefit reserves represent the present value of future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. The liability is measured for each group of contracts (i.e., cohorts) using current cash flow assumptions. Contracts are grouped into cohorts by line of business, product type and cash flow streams, based on the date the policy was acquired (which for the entire LTC portfolio is the date of the acquisition of Ability Insurance). Future policy benefit reserves are adjusted each period because of updating lifetime net premium ratios for differences between actual and expected experience with the retroactive effect of those variances recognized in current period earnings. Ability reviews at least annually in the third quarter, future policy benefit reserves cash flow assumptions, and if the review concludes that the assumptions need to be updated, future policy benefit reserves are adjusted retroactively based on the revised net premium ratio using actual historical experience, updated cash flow assumptions, and the locked-in discount rate with the effect of those changes recognized in current period earnings.
305

As Ability’s LTC business is in run-off, the locked-in discount rate is used for the computation of interest accretion on future policy benefit reserves recognized in earnings. However, cash flows used to estimate future policy benefit reserves are also discounted using an upper-medium grade (i.e., low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield reflecting the duration characteristics of the liabilities and is updated each reporting period with changes recorded in AOCI. As a result, changes in the current discount rate at each reporting period are recognized as an adjustment to AOCI and not earnings each period, whereas, changes relating to cash flow assumptions are recognized in the Insurance Solutions Statement of Earnings (Loss).
Liabilities for the MYGA investment contracts equal the account value, that is, the amount that accrues to the benefit of the contract or policyholder including credited interest and assessments through the financial statement date. See Note 14. Interest sensitive contract liabilities for further information.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF MOUNT LOGAN

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Mount Logan Capital Inc.'s consolidated financial statements and the related notes as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those included in the section of this report entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” The highlights listed below have had significant effects on many items within our consolidated financial statements and affect the comparison of the current period’s activity with those of prior periods.
Nature of Business
General
Mount Logan’s Business
Mount Logan, together with its consolidated subsidiaries is an alternative asset management and insurance solutions company. Mount Logan manages its business through two business segments: Asset Management and Insurance Solutions. Its Asset Management segment is focused on investing in and actively managing credit investment opportunities in North America through its wholly-owned subsidiary Mount Logan Management LLC (“ML Management”). The Insurance Solutions segment is conducted by Ability Insurance Company (“Ability”), a Nebraska domiciled insurer, that specializes in reinsuring annuity products for the increasing number of individuals seeking to fund retirement needs. Ability also holds a run-off book of long-term care policies. As of December 31, 2024, Mount Logan had a team of 30 employees.
Asset Management
Our Asset Management segment focuses on generating recurring asset management fee streams across a variety of credit investing strategies. Mount Logan raises, invests and manages funds, accounts and other vehicles with an emphasis on private credit. As of December 31, 2024, Mount Logan had a total AUM of $2.3 billion.
As an alternative asset manager, through Mount Logan’s wholly and partially owned SEC-registered investment advisers (“RIAs”), Mount Logan earns management and incentive fees for providing investment advisory and management services to multiple diversified investment vehicles, which include Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions segment. The majority of these vehicles are permanent or semi-permanent capital, generating recurring management and fee-related performance fees from indefinite term vehicles, that are measured and received on a recurring basis, primarily focused on North American and European direct and indirect private loan origination in the middle-market across the capital structure, as well as corporate credit, specialty finance, and other mandates across managed accounts and CLOs. Mount Logan benefits from its investment in and expansion into high-growth areas of private credit and private solutions investing, including asset-backed finance, opportunistic credit, and venture and growth lending. Beyond participation in the traditional primary and secondary credit markets, through Mount Logan’s origination and corporate solutions capabilities, Mount Logan seeks to originate assets with attractive risk-adjusted returns, in the funds Mount Logan manages, through the employment of rigorous and deep diligence on the opportunities Mount Logan assesses.
Through Mount Logan’s RIAs, Mount Logan seeks to invest in well-established middle market businesses that operate across a wide range of industries (i.e., no concentration in any one industry). Mount Logan employs fundamental credit analysis, targeting investments in businesses with relatively low levels of cyclicality and operating risk. Mount Logan has experience managing levered vehicles, both public and private, and seek to enhance returns through the prudent use of leverage with a conservative approach that prioritizes downside protection and capital preservation. Mount Logan believes this strategy and approach offers attractive risk-adjusted returns with lower volatility featuring the potential for fewer defaults and greater resilience through market cycles.
307


The amount of fees charged for managing these assets depends on the underlying investment strategy, vehicle being managed, liquidity profile, and, ultimately, Mount Logan’s ability to generate returns for Mount Logan’s clients. After expenses associated with generating fee-related revenues, Mount Logan measures the resulting earnings stream “Fee Related Earnings” or “FRE”, which represents the primary performance measure for the Asset Management segment. FRE is the sum of (i) management fees, (ii) performance fees received from certain managed funds (iii) equity investment earnings related to fee generating vehicles, and (iv) interest income attributable to investment management activity, less (a) fee-related compensation, excluding equity-based compensation, and (b) other associated operating expenses, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and interest and other credit facility expenses. FRE excludes non-fee generating revenues and expenses, transaction-related charges, equity-based compensation costs, the amortization of intangible assets, the operating results of VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements, and any other non-recurring income and expenses. In addition, FRE excludes interest and other financing costs related to the Company not attributable to any specific segment, and corporate overhead expenses incurred to support the operations of the business rather than directly fee-related. Management considers these types of costs corporate in nature, and are included only for reconciliation purposes to income (loss) before income tax (provision) benefit.
The Asset Management segment also holds minority interests in two Canadian asset managers and in Sierra Crest Investment Management ("SCIM"), which manages Portman Ridge Finance Corp. ("Portman"), a United States business development company, and Alternative Credit Income Fund ("ACIF"), a closed-end interval fund that invests in a portfolio of public and private credit investments. SCIM is majority owned by BCPA.
Insurance Solutions
Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions segment is operated by Ability, a Nebraska domiciled insurer and reinsurer of long-term care ("LTC") policies and retirement savings products, licensed in 42 states and the District of Columbia. Upon closing of the acquisition of Ability in late 2021, ML Management entered into an investment management agreement with Ability (the "Ability IMA") to manage certain of Ability’s assets that are within the scope of ML Management’s expertise in providing investment management advisory services (the assets of Ability managed by ML Management referred to herein as the "Managed Ability Portfolio"). In the second quarter of 2022, management began to implement its plan to expand and diversify the Insurance Solutions business, including ceasing to insure new long-term care risk and, instead, reinsuring multi-year guaranteed annuity ("MYGA") policies. The Insurance Solutions segment also includes the economic benefits of the three Cornhusker CLOs (collectively, the "Cornhusker CLOs"), which represent consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"). Annuity policies are contracts with insurers where individuals agree to pay a certain amount of money, either in a lump sum or through installments, which entitles them to receive a series of payments at a future date.
Long-term care insurance policies reimburse policyholders a daily amount, upon meeting certain requirements, for services to assist with daily living as they age. Ability's long-term care portfolio's morbidity risk has been largely reinsured to third-parties.
A reinsurance contract is a type of insurance contract that is issued by an entity (the reinsurer) to compensate another entity (the cedant) for claims arising from insurance contract(s) issued by the cedant. 
Consistent with the overall business strategy, Ability assumes certain policy risks written by other insurance companies and cedes insurance risks to reinsurers. Reinsurance accounting is applied for reinsurance transactions when risk transfer provisions have been met. Ability reviews all contractual features, particularly those that may limit the amount of insurance risk to which the reinsurer is subject or features that delay the timely reimbursement of claims. Ability does not have any assumed or ceded reinsurance contracts for the LTC line of business that do not meet risk transfer requirements. The MYGA line of business does not meet the risk requirements to qualify as an insurance contract and is therefore considered an investment contract.
308

Ability uses ceded reinsurance contracts in the normal course of business to manage its risk exposure. For each of its reinsurance agreements, cessions under reinsurance agreements do not discharge Ability’s obligations as the primary insurer. Reinsurance assets represent the benefit derived from reinsurance agreements in force at the reporting date, considering the financial condition of the reinsurer. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are estimated in accordance with the terms of the relevant reinsurance contract and historical reinsurance recovery information. Amounts recoverable from reinsurers are based on what Ability believes are reasonable estimates and the balance is reported as an asset in the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. However, the ultimate amount of the reinsurance recoverable is not known until all claims are settled.  
Mount Logan provides a full suite of services for Ability's investment portfolio, including direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisitions asset diligence and certain operational support services, including investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support. Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions business focuses on generating spread income by combining the two core competencies of (1) sourcing long-term, persistent liabilities through reinsurance treaties and (2) using the scale and reach of Mount Logan’s Asset Management business to actively source or originate assets with Ability's preferred risk and return characteristics. Ability's investment philosophy is to invest a portion of its assets in securities that earn an incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk and capitalize on its long-dated, persistent liability profile to prudently achieve higher net investment earned rates, rather than assuming incremental credit risk. Because Ability maintains discipline in reinsuring attractively priced liabilities, it has the ability to invest in a broad range of high-quality assets to generate attractive earnings.
Mount Logan uses Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”) to assess the performance of the Insurance Solutions segment. SRE is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Insurance Solutions segment, excluding certain market volatility, which consists of investment gains (losses), other income and certain general, administrative & other expenses. For the Insurance Solutions segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment earnings on Insurance Solutions segment’s net invested assets (excluding investment earnings on funds held under reinsurance contracts and modified coinsurance agreement), less (ii) cost of funds (as described below), (iii) compensation and benefits, (iv) interest expense and (v) operating expenses. SRE represents the difference between actual earnings generated on the assets and investments made and the interest or crediting rate guaranteed to policyholders or participants. Rather than increasing allocations to higher risk securities to increase yields, or returns, on the assets invested, Ability and ML Management focus on proprietary origination of high-quality, predominantly senior secured loans and assets, which Mount Logan believes reduce downside risk.

Note: The organizational structure chart above depicts a simplified version of the Mount Logan structure. It does not include all legal entities in the structure.
Business Environment
Industry Trends and Market Conditions
Mount Logan’s asset management and insurance solutions businesses are affected by the conditions in the political environment and financial markets and economic conditions of the United States, such as changes in interest rates, availability of credit, and inflation rates (including persistent inflation). These conditions can significantly impact the performance of Mount Logan’s business, including, but not limited to, the valuation of investments, including those of the vehicles Mount Logan manages, and related income Mount Logan may recognize.
Mount Logan carefully monitors economic and market conditions that could potentially give rise to market volatility and affect its business operations, which include inflation and benchmark interest rates. The US inflation rates experienced a notable change from 2023 to 2024. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the annual U.S. inflation rate decreased from 3.4% as of December 31, 2023, to 2.9% as of December 31, 2024. This easing of inflation was part of a broader trend of declining inflationary pressures during that period. The Federal Reserve initiated its first rate cut in nearly three years in September 2024, bringing the rate to 5.13%. By December 2024, the Federal Reserve made its final interest rate decision of the year, capping a year during which the central bank provided some financial relief to borrowers weary of the inflation-related high-interest rate environment . While the Federal Reserve in the United States and central banks in other countries have begun to cut interest rates as inflation rates have gradually weakened, they may raise rates again in the future due to ongoing inflation concerns. This potential increase, combined with reduced government spending and financial market volatility, could further elevate economic uncertainty and associated risks. Additionally, interest rate hikes or other government measures aimed at curbing inflation might lead to recessionary pressures globally. Such a recession could significantly and adversely impact Mount Logan’s business, financial condition, operational results, liquidity, and cash flows.
Moreover, Ability is materially affected by conditions in the capital markets and the U.S. economy generally. Actual or perceived stressed conditions, volatility and disruptions in financial asset classes or various capital and credit markets may have an adverse effect on Mount Logan’s insurance business because such conditions may decrease the returns on, and value of, its investment portfolio.
Interest Rate Environment
Medium and long-term rates increased in 2024, with the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield at 4.58% as of December 31, 2024 compared to 3.88% as of December 31, 2023. Short term rates decreased in 2024, with the 3-month secured overnight financing rate at 4.31% as of December 31, 2024 compared to 5.33% as of December 31, 2023.
With respect to the Insurance Solutions segment, Ability's investment portfolio consists predominantly of fixed maturity investments. Both rising and declining interest rates can negatively affect the income Ability derives from these interest rate spreads. During periods of rising interest rates, Ability may be contractually obligated to reimburse its clients for the greater amounts they credit on certain interest-sensitive products. However, Ability may not have the ability to immediately acquire investments with interest rates sufficient to offset the increased crediting rates on its reinsurance contracts. During periods of falling interest rates, Ability’s investment earnings will be lower because new investments in fixed maturity securities will likely bear lower interest rates. Ability may not be able to fully offset the decline in investment earnings with lower crediting rates on underlying annuity products related to certain of its reinsurance contracts. Higher interest rates may result in increased surrenders on interest-based products of Ability’s clients, which may affect its fees and earnings on those products. Lower interest rates may result in lower sales of certain insurance and investment products of Ability’s clients, which would reduce the demand for its reinsurance of these products. If interest rates remain low for an extended period, it may adversely affect Ability’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. Ability addresses interest rate risk through

managing the duration of the liabilities it sources with assets it acquires through asset/liability management (“ALM”) programs. As part of its investment strategy, Ability purchases floating rate investments, which are expected to perform well in a rising interest rate environment and are expected to underperform in a declining rate environment. Ability manages its floating interest rate risk in a declining rate environment through hedging activity.
As of December 31, 2024, Ability's net invested asset portfolio included $382 million of floating rate investments, or 53% of its net invested assets. In periods of prolonged low interest rates, the net investment spread may be negatively impacted by reduced investment income to the extent that Ability is unable to adequately reduce policyholder crediting rates due to policyholder guarantees in the form of minimum crediting rates or otherwise due to market conditions. A significant majority of the MYGA policies Ability reinsures have crediting rates that reset upon renewal. While Ability has the contractual right to not accept the renewals, its willingness to do so may be limited by competitive pressures.
Significant interest rate risk may arise from mismatches in the timing of cash flows from Ability’s assets and liabilities. Management of interest rate risk at the company-wide level, and at the various operating company levels, is one of the main risk management activities in which MLC senior management engages. 
Interest rate sensitivity 
The following table summarizes the potential impact on net income of hypothetical base rate changes in interest rates on Mount Logan’s debt investments, future policy benefits, and interest rate swaps assuming a parallel shift in the yield curve, with all other variables remaining constant for the insurance solutions segment. The impact of interest rates sensitivity on the Asset Management segment is immaterial.

Actual results may differ significantly from these sensitivity analyses. As such, the sensitivities should only be viewed as directional estimates of the underlying sensitivities for the respective factors based on the assumptions outlined above.
During the first quarter of 2024, Mount Logan entered into interest rate swaps to economically hedge fair value interest rate risk on floating rate debt investments. Mount Logan does not designate derivatives (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under a fair value hedge accounting model. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value with subsequent changes therein recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Mount Logan's derivative instruments are disclosed below:

Overview of Results of Operations
Financial Measures under U.S. GAAP - Asset Management
The following discussion of financial measures under U.S. GAAP is based on Mount Logan's Asset Management business as of December 31, 2024.
Revenues
Management fees 
Mount Logan provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, managed accounts and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee. The significant growth of assets Mount Logan manages has had a positive effect on Mount Logan’s revenues. Management fees are determined quarterly using an annual rate which are generally based upon (i) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (ii) net asset value, gross assets, or as otherwise provided in the respective agreements. Management fees are recognized over time, during the period in which the related services are performed.
Incentive fees 
Mount Logan provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, managed accounts and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee, as discussed above and, in some cases an incentive fee, a type of performance revenue. The incentive fee consists of two parts: (i) an income incentive fee which is based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a hurdle rate and (ii) a capital gains incentive fee which is based on cumulative realized capital gains and losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as they are based on the fund achieving certain investment return hurdles. Accordingly, the recognition of such fee is deferred until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur, which is generally upon liquidation of the investment fund.
The following table summarizes Mount Logan’s (i) management fees and (ii) incentive fees by fee generating vehicle:

(1)ML Management earns a base management fee of 1% on the average statutory book value of the portion of Ability’s investments it manages. Management fees earned by ML Management from Ability are eliminated on consolidation.
(2)ML Management earns a base management fee of 1.75% on the gross assets of Logan Ridge Finance Corporation. Management fees earned indirectly through ML Management’s 24.99% interest in SCIM, which is the manager of Portman, are excluded as management fee revenue, but are paid as cash distributions from SCIM.
(3)ML Management as the adviser to two CLOs, 2018-01 and 2019-01, earns senior and subordinated management fees on these vehicles, calculated on the outstanding collateral balance. CLO 2018-1 earns 0.25% senior and 0.35% subordinated fees, and 2019-1 earns 0.25% senior and 0.25% subordinated fees. These rates are fixed for the life of the transaction and is not subject to repricing.
(4)ML Management is the adviser to OCIF and earns management and incentive fees directly from this fund. Base management fees are earned at 1.25% of gross assets. Incentive fees are realized when the fund reaches a hurdle rate of return each quarter, based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income. When OCIF’s pre-incentive net investment income – i.e. interest income, dividend income and any other income accrued during the calendar quarter, less OCIF’s operating expenses for the quarter – exceeds the hurdle rate of return on OCIF’s adjusted capital of 1.5% (or 6% annualized), ML Management earns an incentive fee at 15% of the pre-incentive fee net investment income. All incentive fees recognized are considered realized as they are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. All recorded incentive fees have been subsequently received in cash. Separately, Mount Logan receives the economics of ACIF, which is an interval fund advised by SCIM, via a servicing agreement with SCIM over ACIF. The SCIM servicing fee over ACIF is excluded.
(5)Mount Logan as the general partner accrues base management fees, calculated monthly, due and payable either monthly or quarterly in arrears at 0.125% of the net assets in the Ovation funds. Incentive fees, calculated monthly, due and payable quarterly in arrears, are calculated as 10% of pre-incentive fee distributable income. If pre-incentive fee distributable income amounts do not exceed 0% in any fiscal quarter, such shortfall (a “High Watermark Shortfall”) will carry forward to subsequent quarters. No incentive fees are payable to the general partner in any fiscal quarter in which a High Watermark Shortfall exists.
313

(6)Consists of several small, closed end private funds which are sub-advised by ML Management at 1% of net assets, as well as management fees earned from a portfolio of Vista Life & Casualty Reinsurance Company’s (Vista) assets to which ML Management was appointed as the investment manager of, effective March 2025, at a rate of 1% on the average statutory book value of investments under management. Only fees which are crystallized and not subject to reversal are recognized and included.
(7)Management and incentive fees receivable are part of Other assets on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The fee rates described above are contractually fixed, however Mount Logan retains the right to voluntarily waive all or a portion of any management or incentive fee in circumstances where doing so would better align the economic interests of Mount Logan and the investors in a particular vehicle. Any such waiver would be approved by the applicable fund board.

Expenses
Compensation and Benefits
The most significant expense in Mount Logan’s Asset Management business is compensation and benefits expense. This consists of fixed salary, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, profit sharing expense associated with the performance fees earned and compensation expense associated with the vesting of non-cash equity-based awards. Mount Logan’s current compensation arrangements with certain of its employees include non-cash equity-based awards, which are considered to be ‘performance-based incentives.’ The non-cash equity-based awards are granted subject to management’s discretion and approval by the Board of Directors. There are no clawback provisions associated with the non-cash equity-based awards; however, they are subject to a time-based vesting requirement and continued employment. To date, Mount Logan has not paid any profit sharing associated with performance fees. Because of these performance-based incentives, as Mount Logan’s net revenues increase, Mount Logan’s compensation costs rise. Mount Logan’s compensation costs also reflect the increased investment in people as Mount Logan continues to grow its AUM both organically and inorganically.

Mount Logan grants equity awards to certain directors, officers, service providers and employees, consisting of Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") that generally vest and become exercisable in annual installments depending on the award terms. See note 20 to Mount Logan’s consolidated financial statements for further discussion of equity-based compensation.
Administration and servicing fees
On November 20, 2018, Mount Logan entered into a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) with BCPA. Under the terms of the Servicing Agreement, BCPA as servicing agent (the "Servicing Agent") performs (or oversees, or arranges for, the performance of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of Mount Logan, including, without limitation, office facilities, equipment, bookkeeping and record keeping services and such other services the Servicing Agent, subject to review by the Board, shall from time to time deem necessary or useful to perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement. The Servicing Agent is authorized to enter into sub-administration agreements as determined to be necessary in order to carry out the administrative services.
Unless earlier terminated as described below, the Servicing Agreement will remain in effect from year-to-year if approved annually by (i) the vote of the Board and (ii) the vote of a majority of Mount Logan’s independent directors. The Servicing Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon 60 days’ written notice by the vote of the Board or by the Servicing Agent.
Mount Logan reimburses BCPA for an allocable portion of compensation paid to Mount Logan’s Chief Financial Officer, associated management personnel (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business affairs of Mount Logan), and out-of-pocket expenses. While the Servicing Agent
314

performs certain administrative functions for Mount Logan, the management functions of Mount Logan are wholly performed by Mount Logan’s management team.
Mount Logan provides administrative and reporting services to SCIM in respect of the management of ACIF in exchange for a servicing fee. The servicing fee is variable consideration as it is calculated quarterly based on the fees received by SCIM under its advisory agreement with ACIF, less a specified fee retained by SCIM, debt servicing expense, compensation and other certain expenses SCIM incurs in connection with investment advisory services it provides to ACIF. As Mount Logan determined it acts as the agent in this relationship, Mount Logan recognizes in income the amount it is entitled to receive or obligated to pay. In the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, uncollected amounts are classified as Due from related parties when money is owed to Mount Logan and money owed by Mount Logan is presented as Due to related parties. 
Financial Measures under U.S. GAAP - Insurance Solutions
The following discussion of financial measures under U.S. GAAP is based on Mount Logan’s Insurance Solutions business, which is operated by Ability, as of December 31, 2024.
Revenues
Net premiums
Net premiums for long-duration contracts, including products with fixed and guaranteed premiums and benefits, are recognized as revenue when due from policyholders. Insurance premiums are reported net of reinsurance ceded premiums.
Product charges
Product charges mainly include surrender charges on MYGA product which are earned when assessed against policyholder account balances during the period.
Net investment income
Net investment income is a significant component of Ability's total revenues. Ability recognizes investment income as it accrues or is legally due, net of investment management and custody fees. Investment income on fixed maturity securities includes coupon interest, as well as the amortization of any premium and the accretion of any discount. Investment income on equity securities represents dividend income and preferred coupon interest.
Net gains (losses) from investment activities
Investment related gains (losses) primarily consist of (i) realized gains and losses on sales of investments, (ii) unrealized gains and losses on trading securities, (iii) unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, (iv) changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives and derivatives not designated as a hedge, and (v) changes in the provision for credit losses.
Net revenues of consolidated variable interest entities
Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are presented within net revenues of consolidated variable interest entities.
315

Net investment income (loss) on funds withheld
Net gains (losses) on funds withheld consists of investment activity pertaining to funds withheld assets which includes any interest income, unrealized gains, and losses, and realized gains and losses from sales of these assets.
Ceded reinsurance – Funds withheld with Front Street Re  
Mount Logan has a coinsurance with funds withheld arrangement with Front Street Re covering a significant portion of the LTC business (the “Medico” block of policies). Under the funds withheld arrangement, assets are retained by Mount Logan; however, all investment activity pertaining to those assets are passed through to Front Street Re. Investment activity includes any interest income, unrealized gains, and losses, and realized gains and losses from sales of these assets.  The liability for this funds held arrangement is in the liability section of the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the income statement items related to this contract are in the line item net investment income (loss) on funds withheld in the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statement of Operations.   
Ceded reinsurance – Modified coinsurance with Vista Life and Casualty Reinsurance Company  
Mount Logan also has a modified coinsurance (“Modco”) agreement with Vista Life and Casualty Reinsurance Company (“Vista”). Pursuant to such agreement, Mount Logan retains assets in a designated custody account to support the quota share of the ceded Modco reserves. Similar to a funds withheld arrangement, all investment activity pertaining to those assets are passed through to Vista. Investment activity includes any interest income, unrealized gains, and losses, and realized gains and losses from sales on these assets.  The liability for this funds held agreement is netted against the reinsurance recoverable of the Insurance section of the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the income statement items related to this contract are in the line item net investment income (loss) on funds withheld in the Insurance Consolidated Statement of Operations.    
Expenses
Interest sensitive contract benefits
Liabilities for the MYGA investment contracts equal the account value, that is, the amount that accrues to the benefit of the contract or policyholder including credited interest and assessments through the financial statement date. Changes in interest sensitive contract liabilities, excluding deposits and withdrawals, are recorded in interest sensitive contract benefits or product charges on the consolidated statements of operations.
Net policy benefit and claims
Net policy benefit and claims represent the present value of future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. The liability is measured for each group of contracts (i.e., cohorts) using current cash flow assumptions. Contracts are grouped into cohorts by line of business, product type and cash flow streams, based on the date the policy was acquired (which for the entire LTC portfolio is the date of the acquisition of Ability Insurance). Future policy benefit reserves are adjusted each period because of updating lifetime net premium ratios for differences between actual and expected experience with the retroactive effect of those variances recognized in current period earnings. Mount Logan reviews at least annually in the third quarter, future policy benefit reserves cash flow assumptions, and if the review concludes that the assumptions need to be updated, future policy benefit reserves are adjusted retroactively based on the revised net premium ratio using actual historical experience, updated cash flow assumptions, and the locked-in discount rate with the effect of those changes recognized in current period earnings.
As Mount Logan’s LTC business is in run-off, the locked-in discount rate is used for the computation of interest accretion on future policy benefit reserves recognized in earnings. However, cash flows used to estimate future policy benefit reserves are also discounted using an upper-medium grade (i.e., low credit risk) fixed-income
316

instrument yield reflecting the duration characteristics of the liabilities and is updated each reporting period with changes recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“AOCI”). As a result, changes in the current discount rate at each reporting period are recognized as an adjustment to AOCI and not earnings each period, whereas, changes relating to cash flow assumptions are recognized in the Insurance Statement of Earnings (Loss).
Amortization of deferred acquisition costs
Mount Logan incurs significant costs in connection with its renewals for its MYGA business. Costs that are related directly to the successful acquisition or renewal of MYGA contracts are capitalized as Deferred Acquisition Costs (“DAC”).  Such costs for Mount Logan are comprised mostly of incremental direct costs of contract acquisitions, which for Mount Logan are primarily commissions. Deferred acquisition costs will be amortized to expense on a straight-line basis, at the individual level over the expected term of the related contract.    
All other acquisition-related costs, as well as all indirect costs, are expensed as incurred. 
Compensation and Benefits
This consists of fixed salary, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses.
Interest expense
This includes interest expense on the debt obligations.
General, administrative and other
General, administrative and other expenses include normal operating expenses, integration, restructuring and other non-operating expenses.
Other Financial Measures under U.S. GAAP
Income Taxes
Mount Logan’s income tax expense increased year over year from $0.4 million to $0.6 million as there was more income subject to tax in 2024 compared to 2023 relating to Mount Logan’s US operations due to a true up of unrealized carry being recognized as income for tax purposes in 2024.
Managing Business Performance - Key Segment and Non-U.S. GAAP Performance Measures
Mount Logan believes that the presentation of Segment Income supplements a reader’s understanding of the economic operating performance of each of Mount Logan’s segments.
Segment Income is the key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of the Asset Management and Insurance Solutions segments. See note 23 to the consolidated financial statements for more details regarding the components of Segment Income and management’s consideration of Segment Income. Mount Logan believes that Segment Income is helpful for an understanding of Mount Logan’s business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze Mount Logan’s segment performance. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of operations discussed in “Overview of Results of Operations” that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Fee Related Earnings and Spread Related Earnings
Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Asset Management segment. FRE is the sum of (i) management fees, (ii) performance fees received from certain
317

managed funds (iii) equity investment earnings related to fee generating vehicles, and (iv) interest income attributable to investment management activity, less (a) fee-related compensation, excluding equity-based compensation, and (b) other associated operating expenses, which excludes amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets and interest and other credit facility expenses.
FRE excludes non-fee generating revenues and expenses, transaction-related charges, equity-based compensation costs, the amortization of intangible assets, the operating results of VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements, and any other non-recurring income and expenses. In addition, FRE excludes interest and other financing costs related to the Company not attributable to any specific segment, and corporate overhead expenses incurred to support the operations of the business rather than directly fee-related. Management considers these types of costs corporate in nature, and are included only for reconciliation purposes to income (loss) before income tax (provision) benefit.
Spread Related Earnings (“SRE”) is a component of Segment Income that is used to assess the performance of the Insurance Solutions segment, excluding certain market volatility, which consists of investment gains (losses), other income and certain general, administrative & other expenses. For the Insurance Solutions segment, SRE equals the sum of (i) the net investment earnings on Insurance Solutions segment’s net invested assets (excluding investment earnings on funds held under reinsurance contracts and modified coinsurance agreement), less (ii) cost of funds (as described below), (iii) compensation and benefits, (iv) interest expense and (v) operating expenses.
Cost of funds includes liability costs associated with the crediting cost on MYGA liabilities as well as other liability costs. Other liability costs include DAC amortization, the cost of liabilities associated with LTC, net of reinsurance, which includes change in reserves, premiums, actual claim experience including related expenses and certain product charges related to MYGA.
Mount Logan uses FRE and SRE as measures of operating performance, not as measures of liquidity. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of these measures without consideration of their related U.S. GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described above.

Asset Management Segment
Revenues
Revenues were $15.0 million in 2024, an increase of $3.5 million from $11.5 million in 2023, driven by an increase in management and incentive fees partially offset by a decrease in equity investment earnings.
319

Management fees increased by $2.0 million to $11.1 million in 2024 from $9.1 million in 2023. The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to higher fees earned from Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund (“OCIF”) due to increased AUM, a full year of management fees from Ovation Alternative Income Fund and Ovation Alternative Income Fund-A LP (collectively the “Ovation funds”) managed funds compared to 2023 during which the Ovation GP acquisition closed in the third quarter, and First Trust continuing to scale with increased AUM.
The $1.9 million increase in incentive fees was primarily driven by incentive fees earned from OCIF of $1.7 million in 2024 compared to close to $nil in 2023. The increase in OCIF incentive fee was primarily due to growth in OCIF’s pre-incentive fee net investment income (NII). The growth in NII was driven by OCIF’s increased fundraising which allowed OCIF to deploy additional capital into yielding assets. Net assets increased from around $37.9 million to $145.7 million year on year while operating expenses remained relatively flat. All incentive fees recognized are realized incentive fees as they are calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter. All recorded incentive fees have been subsequently received in cash.

The increase in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in equity investment earnings due to the loss of significant influence over the investment in OCIF in the third quarter of 2023 and decreased performance in SCIM.
Expenses
Expenses were $33.5 million in 2024, an increase of $5.5 million from $28.1 million in 2023, driven by increases in administrative and servicing fees, compensation and benefits, amortization and impairment of intangibles and interest and credit facility expenses, offset by decreases in general, administrative and other expenses, and transaction costs.
Administration and servicing fees increased $3.0 million in 2024 due to additional headcount, increased net economic loss attributable to Mount Logan's service agreement with SCIM, and an increase in sub-investment management expenses.
Compensation and benefits increased $5.0 million in 2024 primarily due to increased headcount and costs associated with the operations of Ovation GP, RSUs granted and quarterly guaranteed bonus accruals from the third quarter of 2024 onwards.
Amortization and impairment of intangible assets increased $2.1 million in 2024 due to an impairment loss in the fourth quarter of 2024 on the IMA purchased in the Ovation GP acquisition as well as a decrease in the remaining useful life of that intangible asset, as the underlying fund is being wound down.
Interest and other credit facility expenses increased $1.0 million in 2024 primarily due to increased borrowings from upsizing our existing credit facility during the second quarter of 2023 and the issuance of debenture units during the first quarter of 2024, as well as refinancing costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2024.
The increase in expenses was offset by a $4.0 million decrease in general, administrative and other expenses attributable to significantly lower professional services fee spend due to active management efforts to reduce costs, the expiration of transition services agreements on assets purchased and fee-sharing agreements associated with the CLOs, and the improved performance of OCIF. Transaction costs were also lower by $1.5 million due to reduced deal activity in most of 2024 compared to 2023.
Investment and Other Income (Loss)
Total investment and other loss were close to $nil in 2024, a decrease of $2.5 million from $2.5 million of investment income in 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by an increase in unrealized losses on equity security investments compared to 2023, and the decrease in interest income attributable to consolidated VIEs as Mount Logan deconsolidated its interest in 2018-01 when it was no longer the primary beneficiary.
320

Insurance Solutions Segment
Revenues
Revenues were $34.8 million in 2024, a decrease of $0.3 million from $35.0 million in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a decrease in net gains (losses) from investment activities and a decrease in net revenue of consolidated VIEs. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in net premiums, an increase in net investment income and an increase in net investment income (loss) on funds withheld.
Net gains (losses) from investment activities were ($8.2) million in 2024, a decrease of $24.5 million from $16.2 million in 2023, primarily due to an unfavorable change in the fair value of investment assets and also due to an unfavorable change in the provision for credit losses. The unfavorable change in the fair value of investment assets was primarily driven by an increase in bond yield in 2024 compared to 2023, which resulted in decrease in the fair value of existing bonds in 2024 compared to 2023. Consequently, there were higher unrealized losses on these bonds in 2024 compared to 2023. The unfavorable change in the provision for credit losses of $4.1 million was primarily driven by deterioration in credit ratings of certain mortgage loans.
Net revenues of consolidated VIEs were $15.1 million in 2024, a decrease of $1.8 million from $16.9 million in 2023, primarily driven by lower realized gains on the sale of investments in 2024 compared to 2023 and also due to lower accretion of discounts in 2024 compared to 2023. This decrease was partially offset by favorable returns on underlying assets.
Net premiums were ($15.5) million in 2024, an increase of $1.8 million from ($17.3) million in 2023. The negative net premiums resulted from ceded premiums exceeding direct/assumed premiums within the LTC business. The increase in net premiums was primarily driven by a decrease of $5.2 million in ceded premium related to LTC business compared to 2023, which was partially offset by a decrease of $3.4 million in direct/assumed premium compared to 2023.
Net investment income was $74.6 million in 2024, an increase of $5.0 million from $69.6 million in 2023, primarily driven by growth in the Insurance Segment's investment portfolio and higher rates on new deployment in comparison to existing portfolio related to the higher interest rate environment.
Net investment income (loss) on funds withheld were ($32.1) million in 2024, which reflects an increase of $19.5 million from ($51.6) million in 2023. The corresponding balance sheet account, funds withheld under reinsurance contracts, reflects the collateral payable to reinsurers for the LTC block of business. Typically, when the investments held as collateral as part of the funds withheld decrease in value, the funds withheld liability also decreases. Thus, the unfavorable change in the fair value of investment assets related to reinsurers under funds withheld/modco arrangement resulted in higher unrealized losses. The unfavorable change in the fair value of investment assets related to reinsurers under funds withheld/modco arrangement was primarily driven by an increase in bond yield in 2024 compared to 2023.
Expenses
Expenses were $26.0 million in 2024, a decrease of $1.3 million from $27.3 million in 2023. The decrease was driven by a decrease in net policy benefit & claims, a decrease in general, administrative & other expenses and a decrease in compensation & benefits, partially offset by an increase in interest sensitive contract benefits, an increase in interest expense and an increase in DAC amortization.
Net policy benefits and claims were ($10.0) million in 2024, a decrease of $4.6 million from ($5.5) million in 2023, primarily driven by a favorable in-force updates and favorable assumption changes related to the LTC business in 2024, partially offset by higher interest accretion in 2024 compared to 2023.
General, administrative & other expenses were $16.3 million in 2024, a decrease of $2.9 million from $19.2 million in 2023. Expenses were higher in 2023 primarily due to the one-time implementation cost of IFRS 17.
321

Compensation and benefits were $1.4 million in 2024, a decrease of $0.6 million from $2.0 million in 2023, primarily driven by departure of employees in 2024. This reduction in cost is anticipated to be temporary in nature.
Interest sensitive contract benefits were $15.0 million in 2024, an increase of $5.5 million from $9.4 million in 2023, primarily driven by growth in the Insurance Segment's MYGA business and higher rates on new MYGA.
Interest expense was $1.3 million in 2024, an increase of $0.8 million from $0.5 million in 2023, primarily due to a full year of interest expense in 2024 on a new surplus note which was issued in August 2023 and had only 4 months worth of interest expense in 2023.
DAC amortization was $2.2 million in 2024, an increase of $0.5 million from $1.7 million in 2023, primarily due to growth in insurance segment's MYGA business resulted in higher DAC and its amortization.
Income Tax (Provision) Benefit
Mount Logan’s income tax expense was $0.6 million in 2024, an increase of $0.2 million from $0.4 million in 2023. Income taxes were higher in 2024 due to higher taxable income attributable to Mount Logan’s Asset Management segment, which primarily operates in the US, including a catch up tax expense for unrealized carry being recognized as income for tax purposes in one of the fund’s managed by Mount Logan. The (provision) benefit for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, resulting in an effective income tax rate of (6.2%) for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The most significant reconciling items between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the effective income tax rate were due to the following: (i) foreign accrual property income, as Mount Logan Capital is a Canadian tax paying entity and (ii) changes in deferred tax assets. Mount Logan does not expect a material increase to its consolidated effective tax rate or earnings and results of operations as a result of the utilization of the deferred tax assets, though Mount Logan can provide no assurance that the impacts will not be material in future years. See note 18 to the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding Mount Logan’s income tax (provision) benefit.

In this section, references to 2024 refer to the year ended December 31, 2024, and references to 2023 refer to the year ended December 31, 2023.
FRE was $9.1 million in 2024, an increase of $0.1 million compared to $9.0 million in 2023. FRE was flat primarily because increases in management and incentive fees were offset by increases in fee-related compensation and administration and servicing fees.
The increase in management fees was primarily attributable to higher fees earned from OCIF due to growth in AUM, a full year of management fees from the funds managed by the Ovation GP compared to 2023 during which the Ovation GP acquisition closed in the third quarter, and First Trust continuing to scale with increased AUM.
The increase in incentive fees was primarily attributable to fees earned from OCIF of $1.7 million in 2024 compared to close to $nil in 2023, reflecting improved fund performance.
The growth in revenues was offset by increases in fee-related compensation and other operating expenses. The increase in fee-related compensation was driven by corresponding growth in fee related revenues and increased headcount. The increase in other operating expenses was primarily driven by additional headcount which support the Asset Management segment, an increase in net economic loss attributable to Mount Logan's service agreement with SCIM, and an increase in sub-investment management expenses. Mount Logan’s servicing agreement with SCIM is for ACIF, an interval fund, and is calculated as the gross management and incentive fees paid by ACIF net of expenses incurred under the servicing agreement. During 2024, management and performance fees decreased compared to 2023, while expenses remained fairly consistent. As a result, the increase in net economic loss attributable to the performance of ACIF drove the increase in operating expenses of the Asset Management segment. Sub-management expenses increased as the Asset Management segment only entered into sub-management agreements from the fourth quarter of 2023 with third parties to help manage Ability’s growing portfolio of assets.

(6)Inflows generally represent new capital which includes capital contributions, subscriptions, dividend reinvestments, draw downs on leverage facilities, and new MYGA flows and managed reinsurance assets added at Ability. Outflows include redemptions, pay downs on leverage facilities, and claims and benefits payments at Ability. Realizations represent distributions of realized income, repurchases of capital, and repayments on CLO notes. Market activity and other generally represents realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments and other changes in AUM.

(8)Several of the above funds are still subject to their annual audits, thus the AUM quoted above represents management’s best estimate of AUM as of December 31, 2024, but may be subject to change.
Year ended December 31, 2024 versus year ended December 31, 2023
Total AUM was $2.3 billion at December 31, 2024, remaining relatively flat from $2.3 billion at December 31, 2023. Mount Logan saw an increase in interval fund assets, as OCIF’s AUM increased significantly as it has continued to scale, since it was seeded in 2022. Additionally, the sub advisory relationship continued to grow in 2024, leading to a positive increase in AUM. These increases were offset by slight decreases in AUM with the CLOs Mount Logan manages as they begin harvesting their assets as well as a slight decline in the BDC assets due to the underlying decline in performance of several assets in their portfolios. The Ovation funds’ AUM will continue to decline pursuant to their winddown, which was announced in mid-2024.

Spread Related Earnings
SRE was $13.7 million in 2024, an increase of $4.5 million, or 50%, compared to $9.2 million in 2023. The increase in SRE was primarily driven by higher net investment earnings, lower general, administrative & other expenses and lower compensation cost, partially offset by higher interest cost.
Net investment earnings increased $3.3 million, primarily driven by growth in the insurance segment's investment portfolio and higher rates on new deployment in comparison to existing portfolio related to the higher interest rate environment.
Compensation and benefits decreased by $0.6 million, primarily driven by departure of employees in 2024. This reduction in cost is expected to be temporary in nature.
325

Interest expense increased by $0.8 million, primarily due to full year interest expense in 2024 on a new surplus note, which was issued in August 2023 and had only 4 months’ worth of interest expense in 2023.
General, administrative & other expenses decreased by $0.9 million primarily as a result of efforts to reduce overall costs in 2024.

(1)Excludes changes in future policy benefits liabilities of LTC line of business, to calculate net investment spread, which resulted from change in actuarial assumptions and future cash flow projections.
Net investment spread was 2.1% in 2024, a decrease of 52 basis points compared to 2.6% in 2023, primarily driven by lower net investment income and realized gain or (loss) percent in 2024 verses 2023 which was partially offset by lower percent of costs of funds.
Net investment income and realized gain or (loss) percent represents a percent of net investment income and realized gain (loss) over average net invested assets. Net investment income and realized gain (loss) was higher in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily driven by growth in the insurance segment's investment portfolio and higher rates on new deployment. However, net investment income percent was lower in 2024 primarily due to higher average net invested assets compared to 2023.
Cost of funds percent represents a percent of cost of funds over average net invested assets. Cost of funds were higher in 2024 compared to 2023 primarily due to higher crediting cost of MYGA liabilities and higher amortization of DAC which was partially offset by lower cost of liabilities for LTC line of business. However, cost of funds percent was lower due to higher average net invested assets in 2024 compared to 2023
Net invested assets represent investments that directly back insurance segment’s net reserve liabilities as well as surplus assets. Net invested assets for insurance segment includes (a) total investments on the consolidated statements of financial position, with available-for-sale securities, trading securities and mortgage loans at cost or amortized cost, (b) cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, (c) investments in related parties, (d) accrued investment income, (e) VIE assets, and (f) net investment payables and receivables. Net invested assets exclude the investment assets under funds withheld arrangement with FSR and assets under Modco agreement with Vista. Net invested assets also exclude mark-to-market adjustment (net unrealized gains (losses)) including provision for credit losses recognized in consolidated statement of operations during the year.
Investment Portfolio and Net Investment Spread
Ability had total investments, including related parties and consolidated VIEs, of $1,042 million and $1,009 million as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Total investments have risen by 3.3% compared to 2023, which is primarily driven by acquisition of new investments into Ability's portfolio. Ability’s investment strategy seeks to achieve sustainable risk-adjusted returns through the disciplined management of its investment portfolio against its duration of liabilities. The investment strategies focus primarily on a buy and hold asset allocation strategy that may be adjusted periodically in response to changing market conditions and the nature of Ability’s liability profile. Ability takes advantage of its generally persistent liability profile by identifying investment opportunities with an emphasis on earning incremental yield by taking measured liquidity and complexity risk rather than assuming incremental credit risk. Ability has selected a diverse array of primarily high-grade fixed income assets including corporate bonds, structured securities and commercial real estate loans, among
326

others. Ability also maintains holdings in floating rate and less rate-sensitive instruments, including CLOs, non-agency RMBS and various types of structured products, both as an expression of its macroeconomic views as well as to capture incremental returns versus fixed rate instruments. Depending on its market outlook, Ability will use financial hedges to increase or reduce its exposure to various macroeconomic factors, including interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate, and / or performance of market indices. In addition to its fixed income portfolio, Ability opportunistically allocates to alternative investments where it primarily focuses on fixed income-like, cash flow-based investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Mount Logan primarily derives revenues and cash flows from the assets it manages and the retirement savings products it issues and reinsures. Based on management’s experience, Mount Logan believes that its current liquidity position, together with the cash generated from revenues will be sufficient to meet Mount Logan’s anticipated expenses and other working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. For the longer-term liquidity needs of the Asset Management business, Mount Logan expects to continue to fund the Asset Management business’s operations through management fees and incentive fees received. The principal sources of liquidity for the Insurance Solutions segment, in the ordinary course of business, are operating cash flows and holdings of cash, cash equivalents and other readily marketable assets. At December 31, 2024, Mount Logan had $86.0 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Primary Uses of Cash
Over the next 12 months, Mount Logan expects its primary liquidity needs will be to:
support the future growth of Mount Logan's businesses through strategic corporate investments;
pay Mount Logan’s operating expenses, including, compensation, general, administrative, and other expenses;
make payments to policyholders for surrenders, withdrawals and payout benefits;
make interest and principal payments on funding agreements;
pay taxes; and
pay cash dividends.
Over the long term, Mount Logan believes it will be able to (i) grow Mount Logan's Assets Under Management and generate positive investment performance in the funds Mount Logan manages, which it expects will allow us to grow its management fees and incentive fees and (ii) grow the investment portfolio of insurance solutions services, in each case in amounts sufficient to cover Mount Logan’s long-term liquidity requirements, which may include:
supporting the future growth of our businesses;
creating new or enhancing existing products and investment platforms;
making payments to policyholders;
pursuing new strategic corporate investment opportunities; and
paying interest and principal on Mount Logan’s financing arrangements.

Operating Activities
Mount Logan’s operating activities support its Asset Management and Insurance Solutions activities. The primary sources of cash within operating activities include: (a) management and performance fees, (b) insurance premiums, (c) reinsurance recoverable, (d) proceeds for sales of investments from Mount Logan’s consolidated VIEs and (e) cash interest received from investments. The primary uses of cash within operating activities include: (a) investment purchases from Mount Logan’s consolidated VIEs (b) compensation and non-compensation related expenses, (c) benefit payments, (d) cash interest paid on debt obligations and (e) other operating expenses. A significant use of cash within operating activities pertain to future policy benefits incurred in the LTC business. As the LTC business is in run-off, this activity is expected to have less of an impact to cash outflow over time.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in operating activities reflects cash inflows of management fees, realized incentive fees revenues, net investment income, and reinsurance recoverables offset by cash paid for interest on funding agreements, taxes, benefit payments, policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities includes net cash used in Mount Logan’s consolidated VIEs, which primarily includes purchases of VIEs’ investments offset by net proceeds from the sale of VIEs’ investments.
We financed our negative cashflow from operations during the year ended December 31, 2024 through increased borrowings of the Asset Management business. We monitor our cash flow projections on a current basis and take active measures to obtain the funding it requires to continue our operations. However, these cash flow projections are subject to various uncertainties concerning their fulfillment such as the ability to increase revenues by establishing new funds and to raise additional investor capital within such funds as well as continuing to grow and scale our Insurance Solutions business. When disbursements for claims, policy acquisition costs and other operating expenses exceed premium inflows, cash flow from insurance operations is negative. The effect on cash flow from operations is partially offset by cash flow from investment income. Additionally, cash inflows from investment maturities of both short-term investments and longer-term maturities are available to supplement other operating cash flows.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used in operating activities reflects cash inflows of management fees, incentive fees, net investment income, offset by cash paid for interest on funding agreements, policy acquisition costs, reinsurance recoverables, and operating expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities includes net cash used in Mount Logan’s consolidated VIEs, which primarily includes purchases of VIEs’ investments, offset by net proceeds from the sale of VIEs’ investments.
We financed our negative cashflow from operations during the year ended December 31, 2023 through increased borrowings of the Asset Management and Insurance Solutions businesses.
328

Mount Logan’s ability to execute Mount Logan’s business strategy, particularly Mount Logan’s ability to increase Mount Logan’s AUM, depends on Mount Logan’s ability to establish new funds and to raise additional investor capital within such funds. Mount Logan’s liquidity will depend on a number of factors, such as Mount Logan’s ability to project our financial performance, which is highly dependent on the funds it manage and its ability to manage our projected costs, fund performance, access to credit facilities, compliance with existing credit agreement, as well as industry and market trends. Also during economic downturns the funds Mount Logan manages might experience cash flow issues or liquidate entirely. In these situations, Mount Logan might be asked to reduce or eliminate the management fee and incentive fees it charges, which could adversely impact Mount Logan’s cash flow in the future. An increase in the fair value of the investments of the funds Mount Logan manages, by contrast, could favorably impact its liquidity through higher management fees where the management fees are calculated based on the net asset value, gross assets or adjusted assets. Additionally, higher incentive fees not yet realized would generally result when investments appreciate over their cost basis which would not have an impact on the Asset Management business’s cash flow until realized.
Investing Activities
Mount Logan’s investing activities support the growth of its business. The primary sources of cash within investing activities include sales, maturities and repayments of investments. The primary uses of cash within investing activities include: (a) acquisition of consolidated business(es) and (b) purchases and acquisitions of new investments. The cash flow activities related to MYGA products is split across investing activities and financing activities. As the Company assumes new MYGA products, the receipt of cash is reported in financing activities and the corresponding purchase of securities is reported in investing activities. As a result, as the MYGA portfolio grows, these cash flow activities while related, will continue to present an inflow to financing activities and an outflow to investing activities.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, cash used in investing activities primarily reflects the purchase of investments, mainly available-for-sale (“AFS”) and mortgage loans, due to the deployment of significant cash inflows from Ability's growth, partially offset by the sales, maturities and repayments of investments.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, cash used in investing activities primarily reflects the purchase of investments due to the deployment of significant cash inflows from Ability's growth, partially offset by the sales, maturities and repayments of investments, and cash used to acquire Ovation.
Financing Activities
Mount Logan’s financing activities reflect its capital market transactions and transactions with equity holders. The primary sources of cash within financing activities primary include proceeds from debt issuances and proceeds from reinsurance of MYGA. The primary uses of cash within financing activities include dividends paid and repayments of debt.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects cash received from increased borrowings of the Asset Management business partially offset by repayment of debt and dividends to shareholders as well as annuity payments, net of cash inflows of the insurance solutions business for investment-type policies.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, cash provided by financing activities primarily reflects cash received from increased borrowings of the Asset Management business and insurance solutions business partially offset by repayment of borrowings from the Asset Management business and annuity payments, net of cash inflows of the Insurance Solutions business for investment-type policies.
Contractual Obligations, Commitments and Contingencies
329

For a summary and a description of the nature of Mount Logan’s commitments, contingencies and contractual obligations, see note 24 to the consolidated financial statements.
Consolidated VIEs
Mount Logan manages its liquidity needs by evaluating unconsolidated cash flows; however, Mount Logan’s financial statements reflect the financial position of Mount Logan as well as consolidated VIEs. The primary sources and uses of cash at Mount Logan's consolidated VIEs include: (a) proceeds from sales, maturities and repayments of investments and (b) purchase of investments.
Dividends and Distributions
For information regarding the quarterly dividends that were made to common stockholders and distribution equivalents on participating securities, see note 19 to the consolidated financial statements. Although Mount Logan currently expects to pay dividends, Mount Logan may not pay dividends if, among other things, Mount Logan does not have the cash necessary to pay the dividends. To the extent it does not have sufficient cash on hand to pay dividends, Mount Logan may have to borrow funds to pay dividends, or it may determine not to pay dividends. The primary source of funds for dividends is distributions from Mount Logan’s operating subsidiaries, which are expected to be adequate to fund dividends and other cash flow requirements based on current estimates of future obligations. The ability of these operating subsidiaries to make distributions to Mount Logan will depend on satisfying applicable law with respect to such distributions, including surplus and minimum solvency requirements among others. On March 13, 2025 Mount Logan declared a cash dividend of C$0.02 per share of its common stock, which was paid on April 10, 2025, to holders of record at the close of business on April 3, 2025.
Asset Management Liquidity
Mount Logan’s Asset Management business requires limited capital resources to support the working capital or operating needs of the business. For the Asset Management business’s longer term liquidity needs, Mount Logan expects to continue to fund the Asset Management business’s operations through management fees and performance fees received. Liquidity needs are also met through proceeds from borrowings and equity issuances as described in note 12 and note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively. From time to time, if Mount Logan determines that market conditions are favorable after taking into account Mount Logan’s liquidity requirements, we may seek to raise proceeds through the issuance of additional debt or equity instruments.
At December 31, 2024, the Asset Management business had $8.9 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
Future Debt Obligations
The Asset Management business had long-term debt of $76.3 million at December 31, 2024, which includes notes with maturities in 2025, 2027, 2031 and 2032. There are also scheduled incremental repayments of principal on the credit facility in 2025 and 2026. See note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Asset Management business’s debt arrangements.
Future Cash Flows
Mount Logan’s ability to execute Mount Logan’s business strategy, particularly Mount Logan’s ability to increase Mount Logan’s AUM, depends on Mount Logan’s ability to establish new funds and to raise additional investor capital within such funds. Mount Logan’s liquidity will depend on a number of factors, such as Mount Logan’s ability to project our financial performance, which is highly dependent on the funds it manage and its ability to manage our projected costs, fund performance, access to credit facilities, compliance with existing credit agreement, as well as industry and market trends. Also during economic downturns the funds Mount Logan manages might experience cash flow issues or liquidate entirely. In these situations, Mount Logan might be asked to reduce or eliminate the management fee and incentive fees it charges, which could adversely impact Mount Logan’s cash flow
330

in the future. An increase in the fair value of the investments of the funds Mount Logan manages, by contrast, could favorably impact its liquidity through higher management fees where the management fees are calculated based on the net asset value, gross assets or adjusted assets. Additionally, higher incentive fees not yet realized would generally result when investments appreciate over their cost basis which would not have an impact on the Asset Management business’s cash flow until realized.
Consideration of Financing Arrangements
As noted above, the Asset Management business has and may continue to issue debt to supplement its liquidity. The decision to enter into a particular financing arrangement is made after careful consideration of various factors, including the Asset Management business’s cash flows from operations, future cash needs, current sources of liquidity, demand for the Asset Management business’s debt or parent's equity, and prevailing interest rates.
Insurance Solutions Liquidity and funding risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with its financial liabilities as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous. Prudent liquidity risk management includes maintaining sufficient cash on hand and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities. Mount Logan also has the ability to raise additional liquidity through the issuance of debt, and through the sale of its portfolio investments. Periodic cash flow forecasts are performed to ensure Ability has sufficient cash to meet operational and financing costs. 
Liquid assets 
Liquid assets, including high-quality assets that are marketable, can be pledged as security for borrowings, and can be converted to cash in a time frame that meets liquidity and funding requirements.

The liquid assets held by Mount Logan's insurance company, Ability, are subject to restrictions which prevent Mount Logan from transferring these assets to other entities within the group without insurance regulatory approvals. These assets are not restricted for use within the insurance company. 
Insurance Subsidiaries’ Operating Liquidity
The primary cash flow sources for Ability include retirement services product inflows, investment income, and principal repayments on its investments. Uses of cash include investment purchases, payments to policyholders for surrenders, withdrawals and payout benefits, interest and principal payments on funding agreements and outstanding debt, policy acquisition and general operating costs.
Ability’s policyholder obligations are generally long-term in nature. However, policyholders may elect to withdraw some, or all, of their account value in amounts that exceed Ability’s estimates and assumptions over the life of an annuity contract. Ability includes provisions within its annuity policies, such as surrender charges and
331

market value adjustments, which are intended to protect it from early withdrawals. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately 76% and 78%, respectively, of Ability’s annuity liabilities were subject to penalty upon surrender. In addition, as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately 85% and 98%, respectively, of policies contained Market Value Adjustments (“MVAs”) that may also have the effect of limiting early withdrawals if interest rates increase but may encourage early withdrawals by effectively subsidizing a portion of surrender charges when interest rates decrease.
Dividends from Insurance Subsidiaries
The NAIC has established minimum capital requirements in the form of RBC that factors the type of business written by an insurance company, the quality of its assets and various other aspects of its business to develop a minimum level of capital known as “authorized control level risk-based capital” and compares this level to adjusted statutory capital that includes capital and surplus as reported under SAP, plus certain investment reserves. Should the ratio of adjusted statutory capital to control level RBC fall below 200%, a series of remedial actions by the affected company would be required. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the RBC ratio of Ability was 325% and 400%, respectively.
The ability to pay dividends is limited by applicable laws and regulations of the jurisdiction where Ability is domiciled, as well as agreement(s) entered into with regulators. These laws and regulations require, among other things, Ability to maintain minimum solvency requirements and limit the amount of dividends Ability can pay. Nebraska state insurance laws and regulations require that the statutory surplus following any dividend or distribution must be reasonable in relation to their outstanding liabilities and adequate for its financial needs.
Future Debt Obligations
Ability had long-term debt of $14.3 million as of December 31, 2024, which includes notes with maturities in 2028 and 2032. See note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding Ability’s debt arrangements.
Capital
Ability believes it has a strong capital position and is well positioned to meet policyholder and other obligations. Ability measures capital sufficiency using various internal capital metrics which reflect management’s view on the various risks inherent to its business, the amount of capital required to support its core operating strategies and the amount of capital necessary to maintain its current ratings in a recessionary environment. The amount of capital required to support Ability’s core operating strategies is determined based upon internal modeling and analysis of economic risk, as well as inputs from rating agency capital models and consideration of NAIC risk-based capital (“RBC”) requirements. Capital in excess of this required amount is considered excess equity capital, which is available to deploy. As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, Ability’s RBC ratio was 325% and 400%, respectively. The formulas for determining the amount of RBC specify various weighting factors that are applied to financial balances or various levels of activity based on the perceived degree of risk.
Critical Accounting Estimates
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented in note 2 to our consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of our accounting policies that are affected most by judgments, estimates and assumptions. 
Critical Accounting Estimates - Overall

Consolidation 
Mount Logan assesses all entities in which Mount Logan has a variable interest for consolidation including management companies, insurance companies, investment companies, collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), and other entities. A variable interest is an investment or other interest that will absorb portions of an entity’s expected losses and/or receive expected residual returns. Fees earned by Mount Logan that (i) include terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm’s length, (ii) are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services, and (iii) where Mount Logan does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, would not be considered to be variable interests.
Pursuant to its consolidation policy, once Mount Logan determines it has a variable interest in an entity, Mount Logan considers whether the entity is a VIE. Entities that do not qualify as VIEs are assessed for consolidation as voting interest entities ("VOEs") under the voting interest model. 
An entity is a VIE if one of the following conditions exist: (a) the equity at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (b) the holders of the equity at risk (as a group) lack the ability to make decisions about the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are disproportionate to their obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity, or both and substantially all of the legal entity's activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. Limited partnerships and other similar entities where limited partners, not affiliated with the general partner, have not been granted (i) substantive participation rights or (ii) substantive rights to either dissolve the partnership or remove the general partner are VIEs.
Mount Logan consolidates VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. Mount Logan is the primary beneficiary if it holds a controlling financial interest which is defined as possessing both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  Mount Logan determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes involved with a VIE and reconsiders that conclusion on an ongoing basis if facts and circumstances change. 
Entities determined not to be VIEs are VOEs and are evaluated under the voting interest model. Mount Logan typically consolidates VOEs when it has a majority voting interest. 
Each entity is assessed for consolidation individually considering the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that entity. The consolidation assessment, including the determination whether an entity is a VIE or VOE, depends on the facts and circumstances for each entity, and therefore Mount Logan’s investment companies may qualify as VIEs or VOEs.  
With respect to CLOs (which are generally VIEs), as collateral manager, Mount Logan generally has the power to direct the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact the CLO’s economic performance. In some, but not all cases, Mount Logan, through its ownership in the CLOs, may have variable interests that represent an obligation to absorb losses of, or a right to receive benefits from, the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO. In cases where Mount Logan has both the power to direct the activities of the CLO that most significantly impact the CLO’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the CLO or the right to receive benefits from the CLO that could potentially be significant to the CLO, Mount Logan is deemed to be the primary beneficiary and consolidates the CLO. 
Assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily presented in separate sections within the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are primarily presented within revenues of consolidated variable interest entities and Income of consolidated variable interest entities, for the Asset Management and Insurance Solutions segments, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Income Taxes 
Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating certain and uncertain tax positions. Mount Logan recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. Mount Logan’s tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether Mount Logan has uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition. 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period during which the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.  
Critical Accounting Estimates- Asset Management Segment
Investments, at Fair Value 
On a quarterly basis, Mount Logan utilizes a valuation committee consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to the investments of the funds ML Management manages. Mount Logan also retains external valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Mount Logan, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the external valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. Mount Logan performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analyses. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The fair values of the investments in the funds Mount Logan manages can be impacted by changes to the assumptions used in the underlying valuation models. There have been no material changes to the valuation approaches utilized during the periods that Mount Logan’s financial results are presented in this report. 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments  
Except for Mount Logan’s debt obligations (each as defined in note 12 to Mount Logan’s consolidated financial statements), Mount Logan's financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. See “Investments, at Fair Value” above. While Mount Logan's valuations of portfolio investments are based on assumptions that Mount Logan believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Financial instruments’ carrying values generally approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments or variable interest rates related to the borrowings.  
Revenue Recognition 
Management Fees  
ML Management provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee. Management fees are determined quarterly using an annual rate which are generally based upon (i) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (ii) net asset value, gross assets, or as otherwise
334

provided in the respective agreements. Management fees are recognized over time, during the period in which the related services are performed.
Incentive Fees
ML Management provides investment management services to investment funds, CLOs, managed accounts and other vehicles in exchange for a management fee, as discussed above and, in some cases an incentive fee, a type of performance revenue. The incentive fee consists of two parts: (i) an income incentive fee which is based on pre-incentive fee net investment income in excess of a hurdle rate and (ii) a capital gains incentive fee which is based on cumulative realized capital gains and losses and unrealized capital depreciation. Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as they are based the fund achieving certain investment return hurdles. Accordingly, the recognition of such fee is deferred until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur, which is generally upon liquidation of the investment fund. Accordingly, the recognition of such fee is deferred until it is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue will not occur, which is generally upon liquidation of the investment fund.

Investments 
Mount Logan is responsible for the fair value measurement of investments presented in the consolidated financial statements. Mount Logan performs regular analysis and review of its valuation techniques, assumptions and inputs used in determining fair value to evaluate if the valuation approaches are appropriate and consistently applied, and the various assumptions are reasonable. Mount Logan also performs quantitative and qualitative analysis and review of the information and prices received from commercial pricing services and broker-dealers, to verify it represents a reasonable estimate of the fair value of each investment. In addition, Mount Logan uses both internally-developed and commercially-available cash flow models to analyze the reasonableness of fair values using credit spreads and other market assumptions, where appropriate. For investment funds, Mount Logan typically recognizes its investment, including those for which it has elected the fair value option, based on net asset value information provided by the general partner or related asset manager. For a discussion of investment funds for which it has elected the fair value option, see note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill
We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes in the business environment may indicate the carrying amount of one of our reporting units may exceed its fair value. Our methodology for conducting this goodwill impairment testing contains both a qualitative and quantitative assessment. In evaluating the recoverability of goodwill, we perform a qualitative analysis at the reporting unit level to determine whether there are any events or circumstances that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is below its carrying value. Based on the results of this analysis, if we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, we then perform the impairment evaluation using a quantitative assessment based on an analysis of the discounted future cash flows generated by the underlying assets. The process of determining whether goodwill is impaired or recoverable relies on projections of future cash flows, operating results and market conditions. Future cash flow estimates are based partly on economic trends such as interest rates and market conditions, which are beyond our control and are likely to fluctuate.

Mount Logan has determined it has two reporting units: (1) LTC, its legacy run-off business, and (2) MYGA and & Other (“MYGA”). The fair value of reporting unit is determined from a projection of future cash flows and operating results derived from both the in-force business and new business expected in the future. This approach requires assumptions including premium growth rates, capital requirements, interest rates, mortality, morbidity, policyholder behavior, and discount rates. These assumptions are consistent with internal projections and operating plans. We believe these estimates and assumptions are reasonable and comparable to those that would be used by other marketplace participants. To calculate the fair value of the insurance business, Mount Logan discounted projected earnings from in-force contracts and valued new business growing at expected plan levels, consistent with the periods used for forecasting long term businesses, in addition to considering a terminal value for the value of new business beyond five years at Mount Logan’s long-term growth rate. In arriving at its projections, Mount Logan considered past experience, economic trends such as interest rates, capital requirements and market trends. Capital requirements were based on a risk based capital (RBC) ratio of 350.0%. Excess capital above this requirement was added to the fair value of the reporting units, consistent with market participant treatment. Mount Logan's key assumptions for the new MYGA business were the (i) discrete premium growth rate, (ii) interest rate, and (iii) capital requirements, which are discussed further below:
i.The discrete MYGA premium growth rate in the fair value calculations were based on maintaining management’s target RBC ratio of 350%. RBC of 350% is anticipated to be maintained based on the performance of the investment portfolio and additional capital contributions. We assumed a higher growth rate in initial years with declining growth in the later years as we continue to scale the business;
ii.Interest rate assumptions are based on prevailing market rates at the valuation date; and,
iii.Capital requirements assumed per management’s target RBC ratio of 350%.

Management has not adjusted its assumptions between the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024, rather, the discount rate applied to the quantitative assessment has had the most significant impact. Discount rates assumed in determining the fair value for applicable reporting units was based on a cost of equity of 17.5% and 23.5% on an after-tax basis for LTC and MYGA, respectively for impairment testing for the year ended December 31, 2024. Capital Asset Pricing Model (“CAPM”) was used to estimate the cost of equity. The cost of equity was derived using the 20-year U.S. treasury bond yield and by adding an equity risk premium. The equity risk premium considers 100 basis point and 700 basis point execution risk to account for the risk of achieving the planned forecast for LTC and MYGA, respectively. This represents a change in approach from the year ended December 31, 2023 where discount rates were based on a weighted average cost of capital of 16.0% on an after-tax basis for both LTC and MYGA. Management believes the updated approach better represents the underlying economics of its business. Changes to the discount rate ultimately impact the fair value of each reporting unit, as discussed further below.

We apply significant judgement when determining the estimated fair value of our reporting units. While we believe that our estimates of future cash flows are reasonable, these estimates are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from what is assumed in our impairment tests. Such analyses are particularly sensitive to changes in estimates of discount rates, future cash flows and other market conditions. A 50 basis point increase to the discount rate assumption, all other assumptions remaining constant, would result in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the MYGA reporting unit but not the LTC reporting unit. While a 50 basis point decrease to future cash flows, all other assumptions remaining
337

constant, would not result in the carrying value exceeding the fair value of the LTC and/or MYGA reporting units. Management notes that these assumptions are often interdependent and shouldn’t be assessed in isolation. Further changes to these estimates might result in material changes in fair value and determination of the recoverability of goodwill, which may result in charges against earnings and a reduction in the carrying value of our goodwill in the future.

We complete our annual goodwill impairment analyses in the fourth quarter of each period presented using an October 1 measurement date. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we determined from a qualitative standpoint there were no events or circumstances that indicated that the carrying value exceeded the fair value. From a quantitative standpoint as of October 1, 2024, we performed our annual quantitative goodwill impairment test for our reporting units, LTC and MYGA, and as of such date, the fair value was in excess of the carrying value for each reporting unit, by 24.3% and 10.7%, respectively.

Derivatives
Freestanding derivatives are instruments that Ability has entered into as part of their overall risk management strategies. Such contracts include interest rate swaps to convert floating-rate interest receipts to fixed-rate interest receipts to reduce exposure to interest rate changes. All derivatives are recognized in Derivatives liability and are presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income as the swaps are in hedging relationships, with changes in fair value reclassified into Interest income in the same period as the hedged transactions affect earnings. Any interest accruals will flow through earnings as adjustments to Interest income. Ability’s derivative financial instruments contain credit risk to the extent that its counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of the agreements. Ability attempts to reduce this risk by limiting its counterparties to major financial institutions with strong credit ratings.
To qualify for hedge accounting, at the inception of the hedging relationship, Ability formally documents its risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedging transaction. This documentation identifies how the hedging instrument is expected to mitigate the designated risk related to the hedged item and the method that will be used to retrospectively and prospectively assess the hedge effectiveness. A derivative designated as a hedging instrument must be assessed as being highly effective in offsetting the designated risk of the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is formally assessed at inception and periodically throughout the life of the hedge accounting relationship.
Ability issues and reinsures products or purchases investments that contain embedded derivatives. If it determines an embedded derivative has economic characteristics not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics of the host contract, and a separate instrument with the same terms would qualify as a derivative instrument, the embedded derivative is bifurcated from the host contract and accounted for separately, unless the Fair Value Option (“FVO”) is elected on the host contract. Under the FVO, bifurcation of the embedded derivative is not necessary as the entire contract is carried at fair value with all related gains and losses recognized in Net gains (losses) from investment activities in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Embedded derivatives are carried at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in the same line item as the host contract.
Additionally, reinsurance agreements written on a funds withheld or modco basis contain embedded derivatives. Ability has determined that the obligation to pay the total return on the assets supporting the funds withheld liability represents a total return swap with a floating rate leg. The fair value of embedded derivatives on funds withheld and modco agreements is computed as the unrealized gain (loss) on the underlying assets and is included within the funds withheld under reinsurance contracts in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
The change in the fair value of the embedded derivatives is recorded in Net investment income (loss) on funds withheld in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Ceded earnings from funds withheld liability and changes in the fair value of embedded derivatives are reported in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Contributions to and withdrawals from funds withheld liability are reported in operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
338

Ability’s insurance operations include providing reinsurance related to LTC, as well as MYGA products. Insurance contracts are contracts with significant mortality and/or morbidity risks, while investment contracts are contracts without such risks. MYGA contracts were deemed to be investment contracts. Insurance revenue is comprised primarily of premiums and investment income. For traditional long-duration insurance contracts, Mount Logan reports premiums as revenue when due. Premiums received on MYGA products (a product without significant mortality risk) are not reported as revenue but rather as deposit liabilities. Mount Logan recognizes revenue for charges and assessments on these contracts, mostly relating to surrender charges. Interest credited to policyholder accounts is charged to expense.
Future policy benefit reserves represent the present value of future benefits to be paid to or on behalf of policyholders and related expenses less the present value of future net premiums. The liability is measured for each group of contracts (i.e., cohorts) using current cash flow assumptions. Contracts are grouped into cohorts by line of business, product type and cash flow streams, based on the date the policy was acquired (which for the entire LTC portfolio is the date of the acquisition of Ability Insurance). Future policy benefit reserves are adjusted each period because of updating lifetime net premium ratios for differences between actual and expected experience with the retroactive effect of those variances recognized in current period earnings. Ability reviews at least annually in the third quarter, future policy benefit reserves cash flow assumptions, and if the review concludes that the assumptions need to be updated, future policy benefit reserves are adjusted retroactively based on the revised net premium ratio using actual historical experience, updated cash flow assumptions, and the locked-in discount rate with the effect of those changes recognized in current period earnings.
As Ability’s LTC business is in run-off, the locked-in discount rate is used for the computation of interest accretion on future policy benefit reserves recognized in earnings. However, cash flows used to estimate future policy benefit reserves are also discounted using an upper-medium grade (i.e., low credit risk) fixed-income instrument yield reflecting the duration characteristics of the liabilities and is updated each reporting period with changes recorded in AOCI. As a result, changes in the current discount rate at each reporting period are recognized as an adjustment to AOCI and not earnings each period, whereas, changes relating to cash flow assumptions are recognized in the Insurance Solutions Statement of Earnings (Loss).
Liabilities for the MYGA investment contracts equal the account value, that is, the amount that accrues to the benefit of the contract or policyholder including credited interest and assessments through the financial statement date. See Note 15 Interest sensitive contract liabilities for further information.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS OF MOUNT LOGAN

Mount Logan Relationship with BCPA and its Affiliates

Since October 19, 2018, BC Partners Investment Holdings, an affiliate of BCPA, has held a minority equity investment in Mount Logan. As of July 8, 2025, such investment amounts to approximately 3.5% of the outstanding Mount Logan Common Shares. Upon consummation of the Mergers, it is expected that BC Partners Investment Holdings will continue to have a minority equity interest in New Mount Logan, and in the future, other entities affiliated with BCPA may have an equity interest in New Mount Logan.

Servicing Agreement

Since November 20, 2018, BCPA, as servicing agent (the “Servicing Agent”), performs (or oversees, or arranges for the performance of) the administrative services necessary for the operation of Mount Logan, including, without limitation, office facilities, equipment, bookkeeping and recordkeeping services and such other services as the Servicing Agent, subject to review by Mount Logan’s Board of Directors, shall from time to time deem necessary or useful to perform its obligations under the servicing agreement (as amended from time to time, the “Servicing Agreement”). The Servicing Agreement, by its terms, is subject to annual approval by the Mount Logan Board.

Mount Logan pays the Servicing Agent an amount equal to its allocable portion of the Servicing Agent’s overhead resulting from its obligations under the Servicing Agreement, including rent and the allocable portion of the cost of Mount Logan’s Chief Financial Officer and associated personnel. The Servicing Agent, from time to time, pays amounts owed by Mount Logan to third-party providers of goods or services, and Mount Logan subsequently reimburses the Servicing Agent for such amounts paid on its behalf at cost.

As of December 31, 2024, Mount Logan owed the Servicing Agent $7.6 million and $1.0 million for Asset Management and Insurance Solutions respectively under the Servicing Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, Mount Logan owed the Servicing Agent $5.9 million and $1.0 million for Asset Management and Insurance Solutions, respectively. Because Mount Logan expects the Business Combination to strengthen its balance sheet and improve its liquidity, consummation of the Business Combination is expected to increase the likelihood that the combined business following the completion of the Business Combination will have sufficient cash to pay amounts owed to the Servicing Agent in a timely manner.

Upon the consummation of the Mergers, New Mount Logan intends to becomes a party to the Servicing Agreement with BCPA to enable New Mount Logan to receive the management and administrative functions that are currently provided to Mount Logan pursuant to the Servicing Agreement.

New Mount Logan will rely on the Servicing Agent or personnel provided by the Servicing Agent to perform certain management and administrative services functions, and the personnel at the Servicing Agent performing such services are presently, and plan in the future to continue to be, involved with activities that are unrelated to New Mount Logan. The Servicing Agent will cause its employees to only devote as much time to New Mount Logan’s business as the Servicing Agent, in its judgment, determines is reasonably required, which will be less than their full time. Therefore, the Servicing Agent, its personnel and the BCPA Credit Affiliates will face conflicts of interest in allocating time, services and functions between New Mount Logan and BCPA and the BCPA Credit Affiliates.

The foregoing description of the Servicing Agreement is not complete and covers only certain key terms. The Servicing Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto, and you are encouraged to read the entire document for further information about its terms and conditions.

Staffing Agreement

On October 1, 2020, BCPA and ML Management entered into a Staffing Agreement (the “Staffing Agreement” and together with the Servicing Agreement, the “BCPA Arrangements”), pursuant to which certain designated BCPA employees provide services to ML Management, as described in more detail below. The Staffing Agreement allows ML Management and BCPA to share personnel for a variety of investment advisory activities. Pursuant to the Staffing Agreement, BCPA may allocate costs and expenses relating to the Staffing Agreement as agreed to between ML Management and BCPA. The Staffing Agreement, by its terms, can be terminated upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the non-terminating party or as otherwise mutually agreed between BCPA and ML Management.

The foregoing description of the Staffing Agreement is not complete and covers only certain key terms. The Staffing Agreement is attached as an exhibit hereto and you are encouraged to read the entire document for further information about its terms and conditions.

The BCPA Arrangements allow Mount Logan to leverage BCPA’s infrastructure and scale, including the resources of BCPA’s credit team.

In the future, Mount Logan and its subsidiaries or New Mount Logan and its subsidiaries may, from time to time, (i) agree to amend, modify, supplement or otherwise change the BCPA Arrangements or aspects of such arrangements, and (ii) may otherwise agree to enter into additional, alternative or similar arrangements with BCPA. As of the date of this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Mount Logan and BCPA have discussed potential amendments to the BCPA Arrangements relating to some or all of the employees of Mount Logan or its subsidiaries or New Mount Logan or its subsidiaries instead becoming employees of BCPA or one of its affiliates and changes to the compensation arrangements with BCPA, including the methodology for determining the compensation of BCPA (including, without limitation, such compensation being paid in the form of equity compensation and/or determined on the basis of metrics tied to Mount Logan’s or New Mount Logan’s consolidated assets or performance). Such amendments are expected to be agreed to and implemented contemporaneously with the completion of the Business Combination or at some other time in the future.

Senior Management

Mount Logan’s senior management team is comprised of substantially the same personnel as the senior management team of BCPA, and such personnel have in the past, and may in the future, serve in similar or other capacities for BCPA or to future investment vehicles affiliated with BCPA, such as in an advisory capacity to other managed accounts or investment vehicles or as members of an investment or advisory committee or a board of directors (or similar governing body) for one or more investment funds, corporations, foundations or other organizations. As a result, such personnel with management functions are involved with both Mount Logan and other activities unrelated to Mount Logan, which could create conflicts of interest as described in more detail below.

Investments and Other Transactions and Matters involving BCPA, the BCPA Credit Affiliates, BC Partners, and the BC Partners PE/RE Affiliates

BCPA, together with its affiliate BC Partners, is a global alternative asset manager focused on private credit, private equity and real estate, and currently collectively manages approximately $40 billion of assets. Because of the global nature of its business and its breadth across different verticals, BCPA, the BCPA Credit Affiliates, BC Partners and the BC Partners PE/RE Affiliates have interests of differing types in a broad range of companies.

341

Mount Logan has engaged, and may in the future engage, in the following activities: (i) investing alongside, or buying certain assets from, or selling certain assets to BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates in which some or all of the foregoing have an interest; or (ii) entering into commercial transactions in the ordinary course of its business with BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates (x) in which some or all of the foregoing have an interest or (y) in which some or all of the foregoing directly or indirectly benefit from Mount Logan engaging in commercial activities with such companies, which in each case has created or could create a benefit for BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates or otherwise had or could have a more favorable result for BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates as compared to Mount Logan. Additional details about these arrangements can be found below.

Investment Advisory Services Arrangements

SCIM

Mount Logan holds a minority ownership interest in SCIM of 24.99% as of July 8, 2025. SCIM provides investment advisory services and is majority owned by BCPA. Because SCIM is majority owned by BCPA, Mount Logan will have a limited role in determining the business activities and strategic direction of SCIM. In addition, BCPA has caused and may continue to cause SCIM to undertake activities or transactions that have different impacts on BCPA as compared to Mount Logan, and Mount Logan will generally not be able to block or alter the nature of such activities or the terms or conditions of such transactions.

On January 20, 2025, Portman Ridge Finance Corporation (“PTMN”) and Logan Ridge Finance Corporation (“LRFC”), business development companies managed by SCIM and ML Management, respectively, announced a proposed merger transaction pursuant to which LRFC will merge with and into PTMN (the “Proposed Merger”), subject to the receipt of certain approvals and the satisfaction of other closing conditions. Pursuant to the Proposed Merger, PTMN will be the surviving public entity and will continue to be advised by SCIM. LRFC will cease to exist and accordingly, ML Management will no longer have any business development company clients immediately after the closing of the Proposed Merger. The Proposed Merger was approved by stockholders of PTMN and LRFC on June 27, 2025 and June 20, 2025, respectively.

BCPA

Due to the overlapping nature of the business of ML Management and BCPA and Mount Logan’s reliance on the BCPA Arrangements, conflicts may exist with BCPA, including those described below.

ML Management relies heavily upon the expertise and relationships developed by the employees of BCPA (generally provided to them through the Staffing Agreement) to identify and evaluate potential investment opportunities for clients. As a result, personnel of BCPA who are provided to ML Management (generally through the Staffing Agreement) work on projects unrelated to Mount Logan, which creates conflicts in the allocation of management or other resources and related costs.

In addition, the advisory services that ML Management provides to its clients, and that BCPA provides to its clients, often in reliance upon the same employees, create conflicts of interests.

From time to time, ML Management expects to invest in securities or other financial instruments of an issuer for a client that are senior or junior to securities or financial instruments of the same issuer that are bought for or held by another client of BCPA or a proprietary account. In such circumstances, if an issuer enters bankruptcy or undergoes a capital restructuring, ML Management clients holding securities that are senior in preference might have the right to pursue the issuer’s assets to fully satisfy the issuer’s indebtedness to the client, and as a fiduciary, ML Management could have an obligation to pursue aggressive remedies on behalf of such clients, including to the detriment of BCPA’s clients. The reverse situation could also arise. An ML Management client holding junior securities also might not have access to sufficient assets of the issuer to completely satisfy its bankruptcy claim against the issuer and could suffer loss.

342

In addition, the payment by clients receiving investment advisory services at varying rates can create an incentive for BCPA, whose employees manage ML Management pursuant to the Staffing Agreement, to direct ML Management to disproportionately allocate time, services or functions to clients paying management fees and/or incentive fees at a higher rate, or direct ML Management to allocate investment opportunities to such clients. BCPA and ML Management seek to mitigate risks and conflicts of interest with respect to differing fee arrangements by, among other things, allocating investments among clients with similar investment programs but different fee structures in a manner consistent with BCPA’s and ML Management’s investment allocation policy.

Commercial Transactions with Portfolio Companies of Funds Advised by BCPA or BC Partners and Other Companies

Private equity funds advised by BC Partners have ownership interests in a broad range of companies. Mount Logan and its subsidiaries have entered, and New Mount Logan may in the future enter, into commercial transactions in the ordinary course of its business with some of these companies, including the sale of goods and services and the purchase of goods and services. These transactions could provide indirect benefits to BC Partners and the BC Partners PE/RE Affiliates. For example, because the Servicing Agent is authorized to enter into sub-administration agreements as determined to be necessary in order to carry out the administrative services, certain service providers provide services to ML Management, while also providing similar or related services to other BCPA or BC Partners entities and/or portfolio investments of Mount Logan and/or funds advised by BCPA or BC Partners. Ability also uses service providers that provide similar or related services to other BCPA or BC Partners entities and/or portfolio investments of Mount Logan and/or funds advised by BCPA or BC Partners. Payments to such service providers indirectly benefit BC Partners (which does not manage the day-to-day affairs of its portfolio companies) and/or the BC Partners PE/RE Affiliates to the extent any of the foregoing has an ownership or other interest in any such service providers. These relationships may influence BCPA in deciding whether to select such service providers to perform services for New Mount Logan, and may incentivize BCPA to engage such a service provider over a different third party.

Allocation of Investment Opportunities

Because BCPA and its clients invest in similar, or the same assets as, Mount Logan and clients of ML Management, BCPA and Mount Logan are presented with a variety of conflicts of interests related to investments. In particular, it is likely that investments that are suitable for clients of ML Management will also be suitable for clients of BCPA. BCPA and ML Management have implemented an allocation policy applicable to ML Management, BCPA and the BCPA Credit Affiliates pursuant to which investment opportunities are allocated among their respective clients. The allocation policy provides that, to the extent any clients have investment objectives or guidelines that overlap, in whole or in part, investment opportunities that fall within such common objectives or guidelines will be generally be allocated pro rata, subject to, among other limitations, (A) any applicable investment parameters, limitations and other contractual provisions, (B) available capital of participating clients, and (C) legal, tax, accounting, regulatory and other considerations deemed relevant by such clients. While the allocation policy has been designed to reasonably assure fair and equitable treatment over time, it does not guarantee that any client will participate in each or every investment that is consistent with its mandate.

Co-Investment Opportunities

Co-investments can occur when an investment is shared between a ML Management fund and one or more affiliated or third-party investors, including investors in funds sponsored or advised by BCPA. There are expected to be circumstances where an amount that would have otherwise been invested by an ML Management fund (even if such opportunity was sourced through Mount Logan) will instead be allocated to such other investors (including investors in funds sponsored or advised by BCPA). There is no guarantee for any investor in an ML Management fund that it will be offered any co-investment opportunities that are offered to others. As a general matter, the allocation of co-investment opportunities is entirely discretionary, subject to the organizational documents of such
343

investment vehicles. BCPA and ML Management will generally take into account various facts and circumstances deemed relevant in allocating co-investment opportunities pursuant to a co-investment allocation policy.

Additionally, it can be expected that BCPA will, from time to time, enter into arrangements or strategic relationships with third parties, including other asset managers, financial firms or other businesses or companies, which, among other things, may provide for referral, sourcing or sharing of investment opportunities. While it is possible that an ML Management client will, along with BCPA itself, benefit from the existence of those arrangements and/or relationships, it is also possible that investment opportunities that would otherwise be presented to or made by an ML Management affiliated fund would instead be referred (in whole or in part) to such third parties.

Purchases and Sales of Assets

As stated above, Mount Logan and clients of ML Management have, and may in the future, engage in investing alongside, or buying certain assets from, or selling certain assets to BCPA or the BCPA Credit Affiliates in which some or all of the foregoing may have an interest. BCPA and ML Management have adopted policies and procedures designed to address related conflicts that may arise in the context of cross trades. Pursuant to current policies and procedures, BCPA and ML Management will only effect such a cross trade if they were to first determine that such trade is in the best interests of the affected clients, and then only in compliance with the requirements of applicable law, and the governing documents of the affected clients, including obtaining any required informed consent.

Other Matters

BCPA may come into possession of confidential or material, non-public information (including as a result of information that BC Partners and/or BCPA may have access to). Consequently, Mount Logan may be restricted from initiating a transaction or selling an investment which, if such information had not been known to it, it otherwise would have initiated or sold. Additionally, BCPA and the BCPA Credit Affiliates may enter into information sharing and use arrangements with clients or portfolio companies, which may give BCPA access to data that it would not otherwise obtain in the ordinary course and could further increase the universe of such information that BCPA has in its possession.

Policy Regarding Transactions with Related Persons

New Mount Logan will adopt a formal written policy that will be effective upon the completion of the Merger setting forth policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of “related party transactions,” which are those transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404 of Regulation S-K as promulgated by the SEC. New Mount Logan’s related person policy will require that a “related person” (as defined in paragraph (a) of Item 404 of Regulation S-K) must promptly disclose to our Corporate Secretary any “related person transaction” (defined as any transaction that is anticipated would be reportable by us under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K in which New Mount Logan was or is to be a participant and the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest) and all material facts with respect thereto. New Mount Logan’s Corporate Secretary will then promptly communicate that information to New Mount Logan’s audit committee. At its meetings, the audit committee shall be provided with the details of each new, existing or proposed related party transaction, including the terms of the transaction, any contractual restrictions that New Mount Logan has already committed to, the business purpose of the proposed transaction and the benefits of the proposed transaction to New Mount Logan and to the relevant related party. Any member of the committee who has an interest in the related party transaction under review (including as a result of their relationship with BCPA and/or the BCPA Credit Affiliates) will be required to abstain from voting on the approval of the related party transaction, but may, if so requested by the chairman of the committee, participate in some or all of the committee’s discussions of the related party transaction. As part of its review, the committee will take into account, among other factors, whether the transaction is on terms no more favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third party under the same or similar circumstances and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction. Upon
344

completion of its review of the related party transaction, the committee may determine to permit or to prohibit the related party transaction.

BUSINESS OF 180 DEGREE CAPITAL

180 Degree Capital is an internally managed, non-diversified, registered closed-end investment company ("CEF") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the "1940 Act").

Investment Objectives and Policies

180 Degree Capital’s investment objective is to generate capital appreciation and current income from investments and investment-related activities such as managed funds. The restrictions identified as fundamental below, along with 180 Degree Capital’s investment objective, are 180 Degree Capital’s only fundamental policies as a registered CEF. Fundamental policies may not be changed without the approval of the holders of a majority of 180 Degree Capital’s outstanding voting securities, as defined in the 1940 Act. As a matter of fundamental policy, 180 Degree Capital will not:

1.Issue senior securities, borrow money from banks, brokers or other lenders, or engage in transactions involving the issuance by 180 Degree Capital of "senior securities" representing indebtedness, except to the extent permitted under the 1940 Act or the rules, regulations or interpretations thereof.

2.Underwrite securities of other issuers, except insofar as 180 Degree Capital may be deemed an underwriter under the Securities Act in connection with the disposition of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio securities. 180 Degree Capital may invest in restricted securities (those that must be registered under the Securities Act before they may be offered or sold to the public) to the extent permitted by the 1940 Act or the rules, regulations or interpretations thereof.

3.Invest more than 25% of 180 Degree Capital’s total assets in the securities of companies or entities engaged in any one industry, or group of industries. This limitation does not apply to investment in the securities of the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

4.Purchase or sell real estate or interests in real estate (except that 180 Degree Capital may (a) purchase and sell real estate or interests in real estate in connection with the orderly liquidation of investments, or in connection with foreclosure on collateral, or (b) own the securities of companies that are in the business of buying, selling or developing real estate).

5.Purchase or sell commodities or commodity contracts, but 180 Degree Capital may purchase and sell foreign currency and enter into foreign currency forward contracts, and may engage in other transactions in financial instruments, in each case to the extent permitted under 180 Degree Capital’s investment policies as in effect from time to time.

6.Make loans of money or securities to other persons, except through purchasing fixed-income securities or other debt instruments, lending portfolio securities or entering into repurchase agreements in a manner inconsistent with 180 Degree Capital’s investment policies.

With respect to these investment restrictions, if a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of entering into the investment or transaction, a later change in percentage resulting from a change in the values of investments or the value of 180 Degree Capital’s total assets, unless otherwise stated or required by law, will not constitute a violation of the restriction or policy.

In accordance with the foregoing, 180 Degree Capital may also purchase securities on margin, sell securities short, and write call options with respect to securities in its portfolio, in each case to the extent 180 Degree Capital is permitted to do so under the 1940 Act. In addition, in connection with the issuance of any senior securities, 180 Degree Capital will be required as a registered CEF to maintain an asset coverage ratio of at least
345

300%, generally reflecting the ratio of its total assets to senior securities that are indebtedness (or 200% in the case of senior securities representing stock, generally reflecting the ratio of 180 Degree Capital’s total assets to total senior securities outstanding).

In addition to the above fundamental policies and as discussed in more detail below, 180 Degree Capital may invest up to 100% of its assets in equity securities issued by publicly traded or privately held operating companies, which may be acquired directly in privately negotiated transactions or in secondary market purchases.

Investment Strategy

180 Degree Capital’s investment strategy is focused on generating capital appreciation and current income from investments in what it believes are deeply undervalued, small publicly traded companies where 180 Degree Capital believes it can positively impact the business and valuation through constructive activism. This investment strategy is not a fundamental policy and may be changed without requiring approval from shareholders prior to making such change.

180 Degree Capital believes it combines new perspectives with the historical knowledge and experience of managing the current portfolio, and that these complementary sets of experiences and skills in investment management and in working with management teams to build businesses can be a foundation for future growth. 180 Degree Capital further believes it will be able to generate income and grow net asset value per share for shareholders over shorter, more predictable timeframes than 180 Degree Capital has experienced historically.

While there are other fund managers that invest in smaller publicly traded companies, 180 Degree Capital believes that these managers are often not able to engage with, or are not interested in engaging with, such companies on an active basis. 180 Degree Capital believes its expertise and focus on constructive activism could be an attractive complement to other investors in the space, and that its simplified structure and focus could lead to partnerships or other opportunities. 180 Degree Capital further believes that the universe of potential partners for its strategy is substantially larger than those focused on privately held investments, and that it will be in a strong position to seek these strategic partnership opportunities with the current and future assets of 180 Degree Capital.

180 Degree Capital’s investment approach is comprised of a patient examination of available opportunities through thorough due diligence and close involvement with management of its portfolio companies. 180 Degree Capital currently invests its capital directly into portfolio companies or through purchases of securities of publicly traded companies through open-market purchases and private placements. 180 Degree Capital has in the past and may in the future seek to invest its capital alongside capital from other investors through co-investment funds that it controls. Such funds could provide benefits to 180 Degree Capital including 1) the generation of income from management fees; 2) the potential to participate economically in the returns of the funds invested above and beyond the returns generated from investment of its capital; 3) the ability for 180 Degree Capital to increase the amount of capital under its control invested per portfolio company; and 4) in cases where it may partner with others, 180 Degree Capital gains access to market intelligence and complementary expertise.

180 Degree Capital believes it provides three core benefits to its shareholders. First, 180 Degree Capital’s go-forward investment strategy offers investors the opportunity to leverage its experience, extensive diligence and active portfolio management of what 180 Degree Capital believes are significantly undervalued publicly traded companies that may be difficult to replicate on an individual basis. Second, 180 Degree Capital provides access for accredited investors to co-invest with it in its portfolio companies when 180 Degree Capital’s management determines that such co-investment is appropriate for it and such investors. Third, 180 Degree Capital is able to invest opportunistically in multiple types of securities to take advantage of market inefficiencies.

Neither 180 Degree Capital’s investments, nor an investment in it, is intended to constitute a balanced investment program. 180 Degree Capital expects to be risk seeking rather than risk averse in its investment approach. To such end, 180 Degree Capital reserves the fullest possible freedom of action, subject to its Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated By-Laws, applicable law and regulations, and policy statements contained herein. There is no assurance that 180 Degree Capital’s investment objective will be achieved.
346


Investment Securities

180 Degree Capital has discretion in the investment of its capital to achieve its objectives within the restrictions of its fundamental policies. 180 Degree Capital focuses its investments on what it believes are deeply undervalued, small publicly traded companies where it believes it can positively impact the business and valuation through constructive activism. These businesses can range in stage from pre-revenue to generating positive cash flow.

180 Degree Capital does not currently limit its investments to any security type. 180 Degree Capital’s securities investments may consist of private, public or governmental issuers of any type, subject to the restrictions imposed on it as a registered CEF under the 1940 Act. Investments may include the following:

Equity, equity-related securities (including warrants and options) and debt with equity features from either private or public issuers;

Debt obligations of all types having varying terms with respect to security or credit support, subordination, purchase price, interest payments and maturity;

Foreign securities;

Miscellaneous investments.

The following is a summary description of the types of assets in which 180 Degree Capital may invest, the investment strategies it may use, and the attendant risks associated with its investments and strategies.

Equity, Equity-Related Securities and Debt with Equity Features

180 Degree Capital may invest in equity, equity-related securities and debt with equity features. These securities include common stock or units, preferred stock or units, debt instruments convertible into common or preferred stock or units, limited partnership interests, other beneficial ownership interests and warrants, options or other rights to acquire or agreements to sell any of the foregoing.

180 Degree Capital’s investments in publicly traded securities may include relatively small, emerging growth companies that management believes are deeply undervalued. These investments may be through open-market transactions, through secondary offerings of primary securities or through private placements in publicly traded companies ("PIPEs"). Securities purchased in PIPE transactions are typically subject to a lock-up agreement for 180 days or longer, or are issued as unregistered securities that are not freely tradable for at least six months.

Warrants, options and convertible or exchangeable securities generally give the investor the right to acquire specified equity securities of an issuer at a specified price during a specified period or on a specified date. Warrants and options fluctuate in value in relation to the value of the underlying security and the remaining life of the warrant or option. Convertible or exchangeable securities fluctuate in value both in relation to the intrinsic value of the security without the conversion or exchange feature and in relation to the value of the conversion or exchange feature, which is like a warrant or option. When 180 Degree Capital invests in these securities, it incurs the risk that the option feature will expire worthless, thereby either eliminating or diminishing the value of its investment.

180 Degree Capital may utilize instruments such as forward contracts, currency options and interest rate swaps, caps, collars and floors to seek to hedge against fluctuations in the relative values of its portfolio positions from changes in market conditions, currency exchange rates and market interest rates. Hedging against a decline in the values of 180 Degree Capital’s portfolio positions does not eliminate the possibility of fluctuations in the values of such positions or prevent losses if the values of such positions decline. However, such hedging can establish other positions designed to gain from those same developments, thereby offsetting the decline in the value of such portfolio positions.
347


Even if 180 Degree Capital has registration rights to make its investments in unlisted securities more marketable, a considerable amount of time may elapse between a decision to sell or register the securities for sale and the time when 180 Degree Capital is able to sell the securities. The prices obtainable upon sale may be adversely affected by market conditions, by the level of average trading volume of the underlying stock as compared with the position offered for sale or negative conditions affecting the issuer during the intervening time. 180 Degree Capital may elect to hold formerly restricted securities after they have become freely marketable, either because they remain relatively illiquid or because it believes that they may appreciate in value. During this holding period, the value of these securities may decline and be especially volatile. If 180 Degree Capital needs funds for investment or working capital purposes, it might need to sell marketable securities at disadvantageous times or prices.

Debt Investments

180 Degree Capital may hold debt securities, including in privately held and thinly traded public companies. Debt obligations may include U.S. government and agency securities, commercial paper, bankers’ acceptances, receivables or other asset-based financing, notes, bonds, debentures, or other debt obligations of any nature and repurchase agreements related to these securities. These obligations may have varying terms with respect to security or credit support, subordination, purchase price, interest payment and length of time to maturity from private, public or governmental issuers of any type located anywhere in the world. 180 Degree Capital may invest in debt obligations of companies with operating histories that are unprofitable or marginally profitable, that have negative net worth or are involved in bankruptcy or reorganization proceedings, or that are start-up or development-stage small businesses. In addition, 180 Degree Capital may participate in the acquisition or divestiture of companies or divisions of companies through issuance or receipt of debt obligations.

180 Degree Capital’s investments in debt obligations may be of varying quality, including non-rated, unsecured and highly speculative debt investments with limited marketability. Investments in lower-rated and non-rated securities, commonly referred to as "junk bonds," including 180 Degree Capital’s non-convertible debt investments, are subject to special risks, including a greater risk of loss of principal and non-payment of interest. Generally, lower-rated and non-rated securities offer a higher return potential than higher-rated securities, but involve greater volatility of price and greater risk of loss of income and principal, including the possibility of default or bankruptcy of the issuers of these securities. Lower-rated securities and comparable non-rated securities will likely have large uncertainties or major risk exposure to adverse economic conditions and are predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. In addition, issuers of lower-rated securities and comparable non-rated securities are often highly leveraged and may not have more traditional methods of financing available to them; therefore, their ability to service their debt obligations during an economic downturn or during sustained periods of rising interest rates may be impaired. The risk of loss owing to default by these issuers is significantly greater because lower-rated securities and comparable non-rated securities generally are unsecured and frequently are subordinated to the prior payment of senior indebtedness. 180 Degree Capital may incur additional expenses to the extent that it is required to seek recovery upon a default in the payment of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.

The markets in which lower-rated securities or comparable non-rated securities are traded generally are more limited than those in which higher-rated securities are traded. The existence of limited markets for these securities may restrict 180 Degree Capital’s ability to obtain accurate market quotations for the purposes of valuing lower-rated or non-rated securities and calculating net asset value or to sell securities at their fair value. The market values of lower-rated and non-rated securities also tend to be more sensitive to individual corporate developments and changes in economic conditions than higher-rated securities. The occurrence of adverse conditions and uncertainties to issuers of lower-rated securities would likely reduce the value of lower-rated or non-rated securities held by it, with a commensurate effect on the value of 180 Degree Capital’s shares, when applicable.

The market values of investments in debt securities that carry no equity conversion rights usually reflect yields generally available on securities of similar quality and type at the time purchased. When interest rates decline, the market value of a debt portfolio already invested at higher yields can be expected to rise if the securities are protected against early call. Similarly, when interest rates increase, the market value of a debt portfolio already
348

invested at lower yields can be expected to decline. Deterioration in credit quality also generally causes a decline in market value of the security, while an improvement in credit quality generally leads to increased value.

Foreign Securities

180 Degree Capital may make investments in securities of issuers whose principal operations are conducted outside the United States, and whose earnings and securities are stated in foreign currency. In comparison with otherwise comparable investments in securities of U.S. issuers, currency exchange risk of securities of foreign issuers is a significant variable. The value of these investments to 180 Degree Capital will vary with the relation of the currency in which they are denominated to the U.S. dollar, as well as with intrinsic elements of value such as credit risk, interest rates and performance of the issuer. Investments in foreign securities also involve risks relating to economic and political developments, including nationalization, expropriation of assets, currency exchange freezes and local recession. Securities of many foreign issuers are less liquid and more volatile than those of comparable U.S. issuers. In addition, accounting and financial reporting standards that prevail outside of the United States. generally may differ from U.S. standards and, consequently, less information is typically available concerning companies located outside of the United States. than for those located in the United States. Interest, dividend or other income and capital gains on 180 Degree Capital’s foreign securities may be subject to withholding and other taxes that may not be recoverable by 180 Degree Capital. 180 Degree Capital may seek to hedge all or part of the currency risk of its investments in foreign securities through the use of futures, options and forward currency purchases or sales.

Securities Lending Activities

Although 180 Degree Capital does not currently intend to engage in securities lending, it may do so in the future. Prior to engaging in securities lending, 180 Degree Capital will enter into securities lending agreements. Once 180 Degree Capital enters into such agreements, it may lend its portfolio securities in an amount not exceeding one-third of its total assets to financial institutions such as banks and brokers if the loan is collateralized in accordance with applicable regulations. Under the present regulatory requirements which govern loans of portfolio securities, the loan collateral must, on each business day, be at least equal to the value of the loaned securities and must consist of cash, letters of credit of domestic banks or domestic branches of foreign banks, or securities of the U.S. government or its agencies. To be acceptable as collateral, letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay amounts demanded by 180 Degree Capital if the demand meets the terms of the letter. Such terms and the issuing bank would have to be satisfactory to 180 Degree Capital. Any loan might be secured by any one or more of the three above-referenced types of collateral. The 180 Degree Capital Board has a fiduciary obligation to recall a loan in time to vote proxies if it has knowledge that a vote concerning a material event regarding the securities will occur. As such, the terms of 180 Degree Capital’s loans must permit 180 Degree Capital to reacquire loaned securities on five days’ notice or in time to vote on any material matter and must meet certain tests under the Code.

The primary risk in securities lending is a default by the borrower during a sharp rise in price of the borrowed security resulting in a deficiency in the collateral posted by the borrower. 180 Degree Capital will seek to minimize this risk by requiring that the value of the securities loaned be computed each day and additional collateral be furnished each day if required. In addition, 180 Degree Capital is exposed to the risk of delay in recovery of the loaned securities or possible loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower become insolvent. All investments made with the collateral received are subject to the risks associated with such investments.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF 180 DEGREE CAPITAL

You should read the following discussion of 180 Degree Capital’s financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto and other financial information included elsewhere in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect 180 Degree Capital’s current plans, estimates and beliefs. 180 Degree Capital’s historical results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any period in the future. 180 Degree Capital’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, particularly in the section titled “Risk Factors.” Please also see the section titled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

180 Degree Capital is an internally managed, non-diversified, registered closed-end investment company ("CEF") under the Investment Company Act of 1940, (the "1940 Act"). For tax purposes, 180 Degree Capital has elected to be treated as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). However, as is discussed in detail in Note 9 in 180 Degree Capital’s Shareholder Report on Form N-CSR dated February 14, 2025, which is incorporated by reference to this Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, 180 Degree Capital did not qualify as a RIC in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 (the “Non-RIC Years”), but it had no net taxable income during its Non-RIC Years. 180 Degree Capital was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York in August 1981. 180 Degree Capital is overseen by the 180 Degree Capital Board and managed by its officers and has no external investment adviser.

Impact of General Economic Risk Factors on 180 Degree Capital’s Business and Investments

As with any closed-end fund that invests in common stocks, 180 Degree Capital is subject to market risk—the possibility that common stock prices will decline over short and/or extended periods of time due to overall market, financial, and economic conditions, trends or events, governmental or central bank actions and/or interventions, changes in investor sentiment, armed conflicts, economic sanctions and countermeasures in response to sanctions, market disruptions caused by trade disputes or other factors, political developments, major cybersecurity events and acts of terrorism, the global and domestic effects of a pandemic or epidemic, contagion effects on the finance sector and the overall economy from banking industry instability, and other factors that may or may not be directly related to the issuer of a security held by 180 Degree Capital. Economies and financial markets throughout the world are increasingly interconnected, and economic, financial, or political events in one country or region could have profound impacts on global economies or markets. Armed conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, as well as any banking industry instability, may adversely affect global economies, markets, industries, and individual companies in ways that cannot necessarily be foreseen. As a result, the value of a 180 Degree Capital shareholder’s investment in 180 Degree Capital will fluctuate, sometimes sharply and unpredictably, and he or she could lose money over short and/or long periods of time.

The prices of equity securities of the smaller companies in which 180 Degree Capital invests are generally more volatile than those of larger-cap securities. In addition, because these securities tend to have significantly lower trading volumes than larger-cap securities, 180 Degree Capital may have difficulty selling holdings or may only be able to sell holdings at prices substantially lower than what it believes they are worth. Therefore, investing in 180 Degree Capital may involve considerably more risk of loss and its returns may differ significantly from funds investing in larger-cap companies or other asset classes. No assurance can be given that 180 Degree Capital will achieve its investment goals.

350

While 180 Degree Capital is subject to certain diversification requirements regarding the concentration of investments in any one industry or group of industries at the time of each investment, it does not choose investments based on a strategy of diversification. 180 Degree Capital also does not rebalance the portfolio should one of its portfolio companies increase or decrease in value substantially relative to the rest of the portfolio.  Therefore, the value of its portfolio may be more vulnerable to microeconomic events affecting a single sector, industry or portfolio company and to general macroeconomic events that may be unrelated to its portfolio companies. These factors may subject the value of its portfolio to greater volatility than a company that follows a diversification strategy.

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Interest rate sensitivity refers to the change in earnings that may result from changes in the level of interest rates.

180 Degree Capital may invest in both short- and long-term U.S. government and agency securities. To the extent that it invests in short- and long-term U.S. government and agency securities, changes in interest rates result in changes in the value of these obligations that result in an increase or decrease of our net asset value. The level of interest rate risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment, the expectations of future price and market movements, and the quantity and duration of long-term U.S. government and agency securities held by the 180 Degree Capital, and it will vary from period to period. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital did not hold any short- or long-term U.S. government or agency securities.

In addition, if 180 Degree Capital holds debt investments with floating interest rates, the value and income generated from such investments would be impacted by changes in interest rates. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital did not hold any debt investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The sources of liquidity that 180 Degree Capital uses to make investments and fund its operations primarily come from its cash and sales of its investments rather than income from investments or other sources. The investments held by 180 Degree Capital as of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023 were primarily in publicly traded securities. Although 180 Degree Capital’s holdings of these companies are publicly traded, their stock may not trade at high volumes and prices may be volatile, which may restrict 180 Degree Capital’s ability to sell its positions at any given time. While 180 Degree Capital’s daily liquidity may fluctuate based on the increase or decrease in the value of its investments, it does not believe such fluctuations materially impact its day-to-day operations owing to its holdings of primarily freely tradable common stock of publicly listed companies and the fact that it does not have any debt or senior securities outstanding as of March 31, 2025.

180 Degree Capital may maintain a substantial amount of cash on its balance sheet as it seeks to identify investment opportunities. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, approximately $7.1 million, $6.0 million, and approximately $0.1 million of 180 Degree Capital’s cash, respectively, was invested in money market mutual funds that invest solely in U.S. treasury securities, respectively.

As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital’s cash and securities of publicly traded companies were approximately $45.9 million, $47.1 million and $49.1 million, respectively.

The decrease in its cash and securities of publicly traded companies of approximately $1.2 million from December 31, 2024, to March 31, 2025, was primarily owing to cash paid for operating expenses of approximately $3.0 million, a net change in unrealized depreciation of less than $0.1 million, offset by a net realized gain of approximately $2.1 million and cash used for investments and received from the sale of investments during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as follows:

(2) Miscellaneous Common Stocks are unrestricted common stocks of publicly traded companies that 180 Degree Capital has not disclosed publicly.

Except for a rights offering, 180 Degree Capital is generally not able to issue and sell its common stock at a price below its net asset value per share, exclusive of any distributing commission or discount, without shareholder approval. As of March 31, 2025, 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value per share was $4.42 per share and its closing market price was $3.97 per share. 180 Degree Capital does not currently have shareholder approval to issue or sell shares below its net asset value per share.

Results of Operations
180 Degree Capital presents the financial results of its operations utilizing U.S. GAAP for investment companies. On this basis, the principal measure of 180 Degree Capital’s financial performance during any period is the net increase (decrease) in its net assets resulting from its operating activities, which is the sum of the following three elements:
Net Investment Income (Loss) - the difference between 180 Degree Capital’s income from interest, dividends, and fees and its operating expenses.
Net Realized Gain (Loss) from Investments - the difference between the net proceeds of sales of portfolio securities and their stated cost.
Net Change in Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation) on Investments - the net unrealized change in the value of 180 Degree Capital’s investment portfolio.

Owing to the structure and objectives of 180 Degree Capital’s business, 180 Degree Capital generally seeks to generate increases in its net assets from operations through net investment gains generated from long-term appreciation and monetization of its investments. 180 Degree Capital has relied, and continue to rely, primarily on proceeds from sales of investments, rather than on investment income, to defray a significant portion of its operating expenses.

The potential for, or occurrence of, inflation could result in rising interest rates for government-backed debt. 180 Degree Capital may also invest in both short- and long-term U.S. government and agency securities. To the extent that it invests in short- and long-term U.S. government and agency securities, changes in interest rates result in changes in the value of these obligations that result in an increase or decrease of 180 Degree Capital’s net asset value. The level of interest rate risk exposure at any given point in time depends on the market environment, the expectations of future price and market movements, and the quantity and duration of long-term U.S. government and agency securities held by 180 Degree Capital, and it will vary from period to period. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital did not hold any U.S. government securities.

Comparison of the Three Month Periods Ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had net (decreases) increases in net assets resulting from operations of $(2,131,827) and $1,386,437, respectively.

Investment Income and Expenses

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had net investment losses of $4,160,181 and $1,052,975, respectively. The increase in net investment losses was primarily owing to an increase in operating expenses of $3,370,619, primarily related to professional fees associated with the proposed Business Combination, offset in part by an increase in investment income of $263,214. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had net investment losses, before income taxes, of $4,160,181 and $1,052,776, respectively. Income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, were $0 and $199, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had total investment income of $286,924 and $23,710, respectively. Investment income increased primarily owing to dividend income related to distributions from Intevac, Inc., the receipt of board fees related to the service of Kevin M. Rendino on the board of directors of SNCR, a portfolio company of 180 Degree Capital, and an increase in interest income from cash held in money market funds. The 1940 Act restricts the ability of affiliates, including officers, to receive fees or remuneration for any services, including serving on boards of directors, from any
354

company in which 180 Degree Capital has an investment. As such, all remuneration for such services is paid directly to 180 Degree Capital and, in the case of equity-based compensation, such affiliate assigns all economic benefit from such equity-based compensation to 180 Degree Capital at the time of such grant. The value of equity-based compensation at the time of grant and recognized as income is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton model for stock options and the closing price on the date of grant less a discount for lack of marketability for restricted stock. The board fees related to the service of Mr. Rendino on the board of directors of SNCR are determined by SNCR and are not contractually governed through any agreement between 180 Degree Capital and SNCR. Cash board fees are generally paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. Mr. Rendino was also granted shares of restricted stock of SNCR pursuant to SNCR’s annual grant of restricted stock to all of the members of its board of directors. Mr. Rendino has also historically been granted options for the purchase of common stock of SNCR as compensation for his appointment to the board of directors of SNCR. Mr. Rendino has entered into assignment and assumption agreements for all stock-based compensation received from SNCR that provides all economic, voting and control of such equity-based compensation to 180 Degree Capital. Mr. Rendino does not receive any additional compensation from SNCR for his service as a member of the board of directors of SNCR. The equity-based grants are subject to time-based vesting provisions related to Mr. Rendino’s service on the board of directors of SNCR, and are not subject to any other clawback provisions. Mr. Rendino’s appointment to the board of directors of SNCR was not subject to any agreement between 180 Degree Capital and SNCR.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital had total operating expenses of $4,447,105 and $1,076,486, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was primarily owing to increases in professional fees related to the proposed Business Combination, software expenses, directors fees and salaries, bonuses and benefits offset by declines in administration and operations and custody expenses.

Salaries, bonus and benefits increased by $93,900, or 16.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of the payment of retention bonuses related to the proposed Business Combination of approximately $200,000, offset in part by a reduction in the number of employees.

Professional fees increased by $3,323,578, or 1633.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in expenses related to the proposed Business Combination, including approximately $2.5 million in legal fees, approximately $800,000 in fees paid and/or due to the financial advisor to the 180 Degree Capital Special Committee, and approximately $40,000 in additional accounting-related fees.

Administration and operations expenses decreased by $116,587, or 89.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily as a result of decreases in and timing of general office and administration expenses.

Directors expenses increased by $12,917, or 22.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to fees paid to the special committee of 180 Degree Capital’s Board related to the proposed Business Combination.

Insurance expenses increased by $2,092, or 4.2%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the cost of 180 Degree Capital’s directors and officers insurance policy.

Software expenses increased by $59,266, or 208.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to expenses related to the preparation and filing of regulatory documents related to the proposed Business Combination.

Rent expenses increased by $337, or 3.5%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the annual increase in rent for 180 Degree Capital’s corporate office.

355

Custody expenses decreased by $4,145, or 55.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decline in the value of legacy privately held investments in 2025 versus 2024.

Realized Gains and Losses from Investments

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, 180 Degree Capital realized net gains on investments of $2,159,507 and $2,398,121, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital had net investment losses of $4,019,686 and $3,711,441, respectively. The increase in net investment losses was primarily owing to an increase in operating expenses of $448,745, primarily related to professional fees associated with the proposed Business Combination, offset in part by an increase in investment income of $139,820. During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital had net investment losses, before income taxes, of $4,019,533 and $3,710,608, respectively.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital had total investment income of $194,813 and $54,993, respectively. Investment income increased primarily owing to the receipt of board fees related to the service of Kevin M. Rendino on the board of directors of SNCR, a portfolio company of 180 Degree Capital, and an increase in interest income from cash held in money market funds. The 1940 Act restricts the ability of affiliates, including officers, to receive fees or remuneration for any services, including serving on boards of directors, from any company in which 180 Degree Capital has an investment. As such, all remuneration for such services is paid directly to 180 Degree Capital and, in the case of equity-based compensation, such affiliate assigns all economic benefit from such equity-based compensation to 180 Degree Capital at the time of such grant.

Cash board fees are generally paid on a quarterly basis in arrears. Mr. Rendino was also granted shares of restricted stock of SNCR pursuant to SNCR’s annual grant of restricted stock to all of the members of its board of directors. Mr. Rendino has also historically been granted options for the purchase of common stock of SNCR as compensation for his appointment to the board of directors of SNCR. Mr. Rendino has entered into assignment and assumption agreements for all stock-based compensation
358

received from SNCR that provides all economic, voting and control of such equity-based compensation to 180 Degree Capital. Mr. Rendino does not receive any additional compensation from SNCR for his service as a member of the board of directors of SNCR. The equity-based grants are subject to time-based vesting provisions related to Mr. Rendino’s service on the board of directors of SNCR, and are not subject to any other clawback provisions. Mr. Rendino’s appointment to the board of directors of SNCR was not subject to any agreement between 180 Degree Capital and SNCR.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, 180 Degree Capital had total operating expenses of $4,214,346 and $3,765,601, respectively. The increase in operating expenses was primarily owing to increases in professional fees and administration and operations offset by declines in salaries, bonus and benefits, directors, insurance and software expenses.

Salaries, bonus and benefits decreased by $39,393, or 2.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of a decrease in the projected benefit obligation expense accrual for medical and mandatory retirement benefits of $274,806, offset by an increase in aggregate compensation to employees of $235,413.

Professional fees increased by $576,919, or 75.1%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of an increase in legal expenses related to the proposed Business Combination. During the year ended December 31, 2024, approximately $700,000 of legal expenses were directly related to the proposed Business Combination. This amount was offset primarily by a reduction in legal expenses related to 180 Degree Capital’s investment-related activist efforts in the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023.

Administration and operations expenses increased by $19,023, or 7.4%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily as a result of increases in general office and administration expenses.

Directors expenses decreased by $21,017, or 8.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to 180 Degree Capital’s Board having one less director in 2024 versus 2023.

Insurance expenses decreased by $30,058, or 13.0%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decline in the cost of 180 Degree Capital’s directors and officers insurance policy.

Software expenses decreased by $53,423, or 25.7%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the decision to not renew certain software licenses related to the valuation of legacy privately held investments.

Rent expenses increased by $2,353, or 6.5%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to the annual increase in rent for 180 Degree Capital’s corporate office.

Custody expenses decreased by $3,294, or 10.3%, for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared with the year ended December 31, 2023, primarily due to a decline in the value of legacy privately held investments in 2024 versus 2023.
