Hi Y***, Absolutely,happy to jump into team structure and capital allocation on Wednesday. Here’s a high-level preview: 1. Deal Team Structure • Sector Leads: we have dedicated heads for Music & Film, Technology and Hospitality who drive sourcing and diligence in their verticals. • Core Investment Team: each sector lead is supported by analysts, financial planners and a creative development manager to bridge the gap between numbers and artistic vision. • Cross-Functional Partners: marketing, legal and operations each have representatives on our investment committee to ensure projects are feasible from every angle. 2. Capital Allocation Process • Quarterly Budget Pools: we set aside a creative projects fund each quarter, with reserve capital for follow-on rounds or extensions. • Investment Committee Review: all proposals,whether a new artist development deal or a hotel investment,go through a formal committee that includes Finance, Legal and Creative Leads. • Approval Thresholds: smaller projects (<$500K) can be signed off by sector leads; larger commitments require full committee sign-off and, above a certain size, the Executive Investment Council. • Creative Reserve: a portion of each pool is earmarked for high-potential “black swan” ideas, giving you flexibility to back emerging talent or experimental formats. During our call, we can walk through an example deal flow end-to-end, review approval timelines and discuss how you’d plug in from day one. Looking forward to our conversation on Wednesday, May 1 at 11:00 AM ET. Let me know if you’d like an org chart or sample deck beforehand. Best regards, J*** HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi Y***, Great question,happy to share some specifics: 1. Creative Reserve Pool • We earmark roughly 12,15% of each quarterly budget for our creative reserve, placing us squarely within the 10,15% range you’ve built at U***n. We do have the flexibility to stretch up to ~18% in quarters with a strong pipeline of high-potential ideas. 2. Approval Turnaround • Sub-$500K Projects: With sector leads empowered to sign off, our average approval time is 7,10 business days. • Larger Deals (>$500K): Once a proposal goes to the full Investment Committee,and, if applicable, the Executive Investment Council,we typically close in 3,5 weeks. We can walk through a real-world example on Wednesday to show you where the bottlenecks are and how your process improvements could accelerate timelines. Sound good? Looking forward to your thoughts. Best, J***
