-2- “Receivership Order”). Mr. Gardemal submits this Sixth Status Report (“Sixth Status Report” or “Report”) pursuant to paragraph 45 of the Receivership Order. By way of summary, the Receivership Estate consists of, among other things, the Receivership Entities and their holdings, including all assets, property, rights, and interests owned or controlled by those entities. As of March 31, 2026, the current cash2 balance of the Receivership Estate was $704,954,050.3 This Report, which covers the period from January 1, 2026, through March 31, 2026, provides an accounting of the Receivership Estate and discusses certain actions the Receiver has taken or will take pursuant to the Receivership Order to prudently manage the assets entrusted to him. I. Background A. Procedural History On February 4, 2021, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) filed a civil law enforcement action against GPB, Ascendant Capital, LLC (“Ascendant Capital”), Ascendant Alternative Strategies, LLC (“AAS”), David Gentile (“Gentile”), Jeffry Schneider (“Schneider”), and Jeffrey Lash (“Lash”) (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York (the “SEC Complaint”). 4 2 For the purposes of this Report, the term “cash” refers to both cash and cash equivalents, unless otherwise specified. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash (e.g., treasury bills, commercial paper, and money market funds). Cash reported at Receivership Entities does not include cash at portfolio companies or non-reporting entities of approximately $7.6 million. 3 All financial data is calculated as of March 31, 2026. 4 Complaint, SEC v. GPB Capital Holdings, LLC, et. al., Case No. 21-cv-00583 (E.D.N.Y.), ECF No. 1. Case 1:21-cv-00583-MKB-VMS Document 350 Filed 04/20/26 Page 4 of 27 PageID #: 12729

-3- The SEC Complaint alleged that the Defendants perpetrated a fraudulent securities scheme that raised more than $1.7 billion for at least five limited partnership funds from approximately 17,000 retail investors.5 The limited partnership funds acquired various portfolio companies (the “GPB Portfolio Companies”) that were operated by GPB.6 Specifically, the SEC Complaint alleged that while GPB had told investors it consistently paid an 8% annualized distribution, as well as periodic “special distributions” ranging from 0.5% to 3%, from the funds generated by the operations of the GPB Portfolio Companies, in reality, GPB used investor funds to pay distributions when the operating funds were insufficient.7 Further, the SEC Complaint alleged that the Defendants concealed the truth from investors by manipulating financial statements for two of the limited partnership funds to give the false appearance that the portfolio company income was sufficient to fund the investor distributions.8 The SEC Complaint also alleged that GPB and Ascendant Capital deceived investors about fees and compensation paid to Gentile, Schneider, and Ascendant Capital, and failed to disclose Gentile’s and Schneider’s conflicts of interest in executing acquisitions because of undisclosed fees. 9 Finally, the SEC Complaint alleged that GPB impeded former employees from communicating directly with the SEC and retaliated against a known whistleblower who raised concerns about GPB’s use of investor funds to make distribution payments to investors.10 5 SEC Complaint ¶¶ 2-3. 6 SEC Complaint ¶ 2. 7 SEC Complaint ¶¶ 2-4. 8 SEC Complaint ¶ 4. 9 SEC Complaint ¶ 5. 10 SEC Complaint ¶ 7.

-4- On the basis of this alleged conduct, the SEC charged that the Defendants (other than Lash) had violated antifraud provisions of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). 11 The SEC also alleged that GPB and Gentile violated antifraud provisions of Sections 206(1) and 206(2) of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”), and that GPB violated Section 206(4) of the Advisers Act. 12 The SEC also alleged that GPB violated whistleblower-protection and reporting and disclosure requirements under Sections 21F and 12(g) of the Exchange Act.13 The SEC further alleged that Gentile and Schneider aided and abetted certain antifraud violations by the entity defendants pursuant to Section 15(b) of the Securities Act, and Section 20(e) of the Exchange Act.14 Finally, the SEC alleged various aiding and abetting antifraud violations by Lash.15 The SEC sought permanent injunctions against each Defendant, disgorgement of Defendants’ ill-gotten gains, together with prejudgment interest, and civil penalties.16 On February 4, 2021, the same day that the SEC filed its civil enforcement action, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York unsealed a grand jury indictment charging Gentile, Schneider, and Lash with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and securities fraud, and Gentile and Lash with wire fraud (the “Indictment”). 17 11 SEC Complaint ¶¶ 9-14. 12 SEC Complaint ¶¶ 9, 12. 13 SEC Complaint ¶ 9. 14 SEC Complaint ¶¶ 12-13. 15 SEC Complaint ¶ 14. 16 SEC Complaint ¶ 17. 17 See Unsealing Order, USA v.

Case 1:21-cv-00583-MKB-VMS Document 350 Filed 04/20/26 Page 6 of 27 PageID #: 12731

-5- Specifically, the Indictment alleged that between 2015 and 2018, Gentile, Schneider, Lash, and others engaged in a scheme to defraud investors and prospective investors in GPB investment funds through material misrepresentations and omissions relating to, among other things: (a) the source of funds used to pay monthly distribution payments to investors in several of the GPB investment funds, including GPB Holdings, LP, (“Holdings I”), and GPB Holdings II, LP (“Holdings II”), and (b) the revenue generated by Holdings I in 2014 and GPB Automotive Portfolio, LP (“Automotive Portfolio”) in 2015.18 The Indictment alleged that in furtherance of this fraudulent scheme, Gentile, Schneider, Lash, and others made material misrepresentations and omissions to investors and prospective investors in certain of the GPB investment funds. 19 On February 8, 2021, the SEC moved for the appointment of an independent monitor (the “Monitor”) to oversee the operations of GPB and its affiliates.20 On February 12, 2021, now-Receiver Joseph T. Gardemal III was appointed as the Monitor over GPB pursuant to an order entered by the Honorable Margo K. Brodie, United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York (the “Initial Order”).21 GPB consented to the Initial Order. 22 On April 14, 2021, the Initial Order was amended (the “Amended Order,” and together with the Initial Order, the “Monitor Order”). 18 Indictment ¶ 15. 19 Indictment ¶ 16. 20 Plaintiff’s Application for Order to Show Cause, SEC v.

-6- The Monitor Order provided that, among other things, the Monitor had the power to approve or disapprove: any proposed material corporate transactions by GPB, Highline Management, Inc. (“Highline”), the GPB Funds, 23 or the GPB Portfolio Companies; 24 any extension of credit by GPB, Highline, the GPB Funds, or the GPB Portfolio Companies; any material change in business strategy by GPB, Highline, the GPB Funds, or the GPB Portfolio Companies; any material change to compensation of any executive officer, affiliate, or related party of GPB, Highline, the GPB Funds, or the GPB Portfolio Companies; any retention by GPB, Highline, the GPB Funds, or the GPB Portfolio Companies of any management-level professional; any decision to resume distributions to investors in any of the GPB Funds, consistent with the investment objectives of the GPB Funds; and any decision to prepare for, file, or cause to be filed, any bankruptcy or receivership petition for GPB or its affiliates.25 The Monitor Order also provided that if the Monitor believes GPB is in some way not materially in compliance with the terms of this Order, upon notice of noncompliance to GPB, GPB shall have ten business days in which to cure any claimed material noncompliance (the “Cure Period”) and that, “[i]f GPB does not comply with the above provisions and does not make requested changes within the Cure Period, upon motion of the SEC resulting in a Court Order, the Monitorship shall convert to a Receivership.”26 23 As defined in Exhibit B to the Amended Order, SEC v.

-7- B. Conversion from Monitorship to Receivership On May 29, 2022, Mayer Brown LLP, in its capacity as counsel to GPB, informed the Monitor that Gentile had documents delivered to the Company reflecting that Gentile had purported to take actions, as of May 27, 2022, (i) expanding the number of managers of the Company from one to four and appointing each of Rick Murphy, Michael Fasano, and Matt Judkin as managers, and (ii) amending the limited liability company agreement of the Company to, among other things, provide for new compensation arrangements with respect to non-employee managers (collectively, the “May 27, 2022 Purported Actions”).27 On May 31, 2022, the Monitor provided formal notice to GPB that the May 27, 2022 Purported Actions, among other things, violated Sections 6(d) and 6(e) of the Monitor Order (the “Material Non-Compliance”), which meant that the Company had ten business days in which to cure the Material Non-Compliance, and that if such cure did not occur within ten business days, then the Monitorship would be converted to a Receivership pursuant to Sections 20 and 21 of the Monitor Order. 28 27 SEC’s Memorandum of Law in Support of Its Motion for an Order Appointing a Receiver and Imposing a Litigation Injunction, SEC v.

Scanlon, United States Magistrate Judge for the Eastern District of New York, issued a Report and Recommendation that recommended that the SEC’s motion to convert the Monitorship to a Receivership and for the imposition of a litigation injunction be granted. 31 On September 8, 2023, Gentile and Schneider filed objections to Magistrate Judge Scanlon’s Report and Recommendation with Chief Judge Margo K. Brodie, the District Court Judge overseeing the SEC case.32 Two weeks later, on September 22, 2023, the SEC and GPB filed responses to the objections, in which they asked Chief Judge Brodie to reject the objections and accept Magistrate Judge Scanlon’s recommendations.33 29 Plaintiff’s Application for Order to Show Cause, SEC v.
