The procedures that we performed and our findings are as follows:

Scope of our work and factual findings

The procedures performed were as defined in Appendix 3 of the Engagement Letter (the “Agreed Upon Procedures”).

The Issuer provided us with a data file ‘Bridgegate Funding BOE LLD 2026-01-31.xlsx’ (the “First Pool Run”) containing an account number for each of the 32,162 mortgages in the Loan Pool as at 31 January 2026 (the “Cut-off Date”).

A random sample of 59 loans (the “Sample”) was selected from the First Pool Run using the sampling approach below.

The Issuer then provided us with the data file ‘Bridgegate Funding 2026-01-31 DT Sample.xlsx’ (the “Sample Pool”) containing information for each loan in the Sample as at the Cut-off Date.

We have carried out the Agreed Upon Procedures on the Sample Pool on 25 March 2026.

The sampling approach

Sampling confidence is the probability that the actual errors, within a total population, are contained within the range of an estimate. Precision is the range of that estimate. The precision limit is the estimated maximum predicted number of errors within the total population. Sampling confidence and precision are stated in percentages.

Attribute sampling is a method of assessing the rate of occurrences of a specified attribute in a population and requires agreed upon procedures in relation to certain characteristics of a random sample of individual loans. In this case the Agreed Upon Procedures related to the documentation and procedures that support the Sample Pool contained in the First Pool Run.

Our method of calculating attribute sample sizes is based on the binomial probability distribution.

Statistical tests can only provide estimates of the error.

The procedures we have undertaken, set out in paragraphs 1.1 to 1.9 under the pool agreed upon procedures section below, has been limited to confirming that the selected attribute from the Sample Pool information relating to the First Pool Run agreed to the original loan documentation or copies thereof provided to us in the loan file. We are entitled to assume that the loan documentation is correct and we have not sought to independently verify this information. The loan documentation used in these Agreed upon Procedures was UFSS, the primary system of record (the “System”).

Objectives

On the assumption that the information in the First Pool Run is a complete and accurate representation of the Loan Pool, the sample sizes chosen were designed with the objective of us being able to state that there is a 95% confidence that not more than 5% of the population of the First Pool Run contained an error in the relevant attribute. Where errors were found in the Sample Pool, we have recalculated the percentage errors that there might be in the First Pool Run and noted the revised percentage below. It is for you to ensure you understand this basis of reporting and to determine whether the errors are acceptable to you and for the purpose of the Issue.
