Purpose of this agreed upon procedures report
We have performed the following agreed upon procedures in accordance with our engagement letter dated 7 September 2026 (the “Engagement Letter”). The agreed upon procedures were performed solely for the purpose of assisting you in evaluating the validity of certain characteristics of the loan pool (the “Loan Pool”) of certain residential mortgage loans (the “Purpose”) and may not be suitable for another purpose.
Our responsibilities
We have conducted the agreed upon procedures engagement in accordance with the Standards for Investment Reporting 1000 issued by the Financial Reporting Council of the United Kingdom.
Professional ethics
We conducted our engagement with integrity and objectivity and complied with specific requirements to meet ethical, professional, and regulatory standards. We complied with the ICAEW Code of Ethics and the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants ethical requirements.
While there were no independence requirements with which we needed to comply for the purposes of this agreed-upon procedures engagement, as statutory auditor of the Seller, we complied with the Financial Reporting Council’s Revised Ethical Standard.
Quality management
Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Management (UK) 1, Quality management for firms that perform audits or reviews of financial statements, or other assurance or related services engagements, and accordingly, maintains a comprehensive system of quality management including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Procedures and findings
We have performed the procedures described below, as defined in Appendix 3 of the Engagement Letter (the “Agreed upon Procedures”).
The Seller provided us with a data file ‘Confirmed Loan ID as of 30.06.2026.xlsx’ (the “First Pool Run”) containing a loan identifier for each of the 2,931 residential mortgage loans in the Loan Pool as at 30 June 2026 (the “Cut-off Date”).
A random sample of 439 residential mortgage loans was selected from the First Pool Run (the “Sample”) using the sampling approach below.
The Seller then provided the data files ‘Polaris 2026-3 Audit Sample.xlsx’ and ‘Polaris 2026-3 Name, Address and Tenure.xlsx’ (together, the “Sample Pool”) containing information for each residential mortgage loan in the Sample as at the Cut-off Date.
We have carried out the Agreed upon Procedures on the Sample Pool during the period 12 August to 2 September 2026.
Approach to sampling
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 residential mortgage 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 1.24 under the Agreed upon Procedures sections below, have been limited to confirming that the selected attribute from the Sample Pool information relating to the First Pool Run agreed to the original mortgage loan documentation or copies thereof provided to us in the mortgage loan file. We are entitled to assume that the documentation is correct, and we have not sought to independently verify this information. The documentation used in these Agreed upon Procedures was the application form, identity documents, valuation report, AVM screen print, offer letter, offer cover letter, welcome letter, acceptance of offer, certificate of title (“CoT”) or solicitor’s letter, land registry print, credit search, DPR credit search, proof of income, ‘Deloitte Borrower List.xlsx’ (the “DPR System Extract”) and the Case Management system (the “System”).
Objectives
The sample sizes chosen were designed with the objective of us being able to state that there is a 99% confidence that not more than 1% 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.

Limitations
The scope of our work in preparing this report (the “Report”) was limited solely to those procedures set out above. Accordingly, we do not express any opinion or overall conclusion on the procedures we have performed.
You are responsible for determining whether the scope of our work specified is sufficient for your purposes and we make no representation regarding the sufficiency of these procedures for your purposes. If we were to perform additional procedures, other matters might come to our attention that would be reported to you.
This Report should not be taken to supplant any other enquiries and procedures that may be necessary to satisfy the requirements of the Recipient Parties.
The Agreed upon Procedures we performed did not constitute an audit, review or an assurance engagement of any kind and consequently we do not express any assurance on the characteristics of the Loan Pool. We did not subject the information contained in this Report or given to us by the Issuer and/or the Seller to checking or verification procedures except to the extent expressly stated above. This is normal practice when carrying out such limited scope procedures, but contrasts significantly with, for example, an audit. The procedures we performed were not designed to and are not likely to reveal fraud.
Had we performed additional procedures, or had we performed an audit, review or assurance engagement of the Loan Pool in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, International Standards on Review Engagements, International Standards on Assurance Engagements (or relevant national standards or practices), other matters might have come to our attention that would have been reported to you.
The procedures in this Report have not been undertaken in contemplation of the professional standards of the US American Institute of Certified Public Accountants or the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and accordingly this Report is not designed to be relied upon in connection with any obligations or responsibilities that you may have under any legislation, regulations and/or rule of law in the United States. This Report may be used by a manager in connection with the Purpose to establish a due diligence defence under Section 11 of the United States Securities Act 1933, as amended, or a defence analogous to the due diligence defence available under such section. However, we express no view as to the effectiveness of such use of this Report.
