(Nasdaq: MLCI) ("Mount Logan” or the "Company”) today announced the successful closing of the previously announced acquisition by the Opportunistic Credit Interval Fund ("SOFIX”), a fund managed by Mount Logan’s wholly owned registered investment advisor Mount Logan Management, LLC ("MLM”), of substantially all of the assets of Yieldstreet Alternative Income Fund Inc. ("YS AIF”) (the "Asset Acquisition”). The Asset Acquisition was approved by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of YS AIF on July 31, 2026. In connection with the Asset Acquisition, MLM has also entered into a Transition Services Agreement ("TSA”) with Willow Asset Management LLC ("Willow Wealth”), the advisor of YS AIF, for access to certain books and records of YS AIF. The Asset Acquisition increased SOFIX’s assets by approximately $130 million, nearly doubling the fund’s size. Mount Logan estimates the transaction will contribute more than $3 million of incremental annual fee-related earnings ("FRE”)1, representing more than 40% of Mount Logan’s FRE for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026. The transaction is immediately accretive to Mount Logan’s FRE and earnings per share, with financial benefits to begin accruing at closing and to ramp through 2027. "The closing of this transaction is a significant milestone for Mount Logan and a clear demonstration of our ability to source, structure and execute strategic acquisitions that scale our asset management platform and expand our base of recurring, fee-based revenue,” said Ted Goldthorpe, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Mount Logan. "SOFIX is now a materially larger and more diversified interval fund, which we believe strengthens its positioning with existing and prospective investors and enhances its economic efficiency. The current environment in private credit is creating a unique set of opportunities for disciplined, well-capitalized platforms to acquire high-quality assets at attractive valuations, and this transaction is one example of what a broader and active M&A pipeline can deliver for our shareholders. Combined with the meaningful investments we have made in SOFIX’s retail distribution capabilities, we believe we are well positioned to convert this expanded platform into sustained fundraising, AUM growth and continued expansion of recurring fee-related earnings.” Positioning SOFIX for Continued Retail Distribution Growth The closing of the Asset Acquisition coincides with continued build-out of Mount Logan’s retail distribution capabilities in support of SOFIX. Mount Logan recently added a third-party distribution partner focused on broadening SOFIX’s reach across the intermediary channel and, through Mount Logan’s staffing and servicing arrangement with BC Partners, has made an internal investment to expand the dedicated sales team supporting the platform. The combination of select third-party relationships and targeted internal sales resources is designed to broaden SOFIX’s addressable investor base while maintaining cost discipline. Mount Logan believes these investments in distribution, together with SOFIX’s now materially larger asset base and broader appeal, are expected to support additional fundraising, growth in assets under management and continued expansion of recurring fee-related earnings over time. Details of the Asset Acquisition Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between SOFIX and YS AIF, SOFIX acquired substantially all of the assets and assumed the non-discharged liabilities of YS AIF at the closing net asset value in exchange for newly issued shares of beneficial interest of SOFIX. The Asset Acquisition was intended to be treated as a tax-free reorganization for YS AIF’s shareholders. The Board of Trustees of SOFIX and the Board of Directors of YS AIF each unanimously approved the Asset Acquisition. The Asset Acquisition was approved by the requisite majority of YS AIF shareholders on July 31, 2026. The Asset Acquisition did not require a vote of SOFIX shareholders. All requisite regulatory approvals were obtained and closing conditions satisfied prior to the closing of the Asset Acquisition. Details of the Transition Services Agreement MLM and Willow Wealth entered into a two-year TSA whereby MLM receives access to certain books and records of YS AIF following the closing of the Asset Acquisition (the "Closing”) in exchange for $2 million in cash and $1 million in newly issued common stock of MLCI paid at Closing, and up to $2 million in aggregate additional cash consideration to be paid ratably and quarterly over two years subject to certain requirements. The $1 million in newly issued common stock is subject to lock-up provisions. Inducement Awards under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) In connection with the transaction, six employees of Willow Wealth were granted an aggregate of 199,397 restricted stock units that will be settled in shares of common stock of Mount Logan ("RSUs”) as inducement grants pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4), outside of the Company’s existing 2025 Omnibus Incentive Plan. The RSUs are conditioned on these individuals becoming employees of BC Partners in order to provide services to Mount Logan pursuant to the existing staffing and servicing agreements between Mount Logan and BC Partners in accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(c)(4). The RSUs will vest over three years, with one-third of the RSUs vesting on each anniversary of the applicable grant date, subject to each respective employee’s continued service to Mount Logan.

These projections, and their underlying assumptions, are inherently unpredictable and undue reliance should not be placed thereon. These estimates reflect internal financial models that Mount Logan uses in connection with its strategic planning and are based on numerous variables and assumptions made by Mount Logan’s management with respect to industry performance, general business, economic, regulatory and financial conditions and other future events, as well as matters specific to Mount Logan’s businesses, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of Mount Logan’s management. As a result, these estimates constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these projections. Please carefully consider "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” below. There can be no assurance that these estimates will be realized or that actual results will not be significantly different than projected. The inclusion of these estimates in this press release should not be regarded as an indication that Mount Logan or any of its affiliates, advisors, officers, directors or representatives considered or considers such estimates to be necessarily predictive of actual future events, and these estimates should not be relied upon as such. The inclusion of these estimates herein should not be deemed an admission or representation by Mount Logan that its management views these estimates as material information. Certain of the estimates and projections set forth herein may be considered non-GAAP financial measures, including FRE. There are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures, because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP”). Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-GAAP financial measures used by Mount Logan may not be comparable with similarly titled amounts used by other companies. No reconciliation of these projected non-GAAP measures was created or used in connection with preparing the estimates included herein.
