| Statement |

| We were pleased to see high returns generated on a historically low risk position for the portfolio |
| We believe these factors will provide favorable risk/reward investment opportunities for investors that can provide capital nimbly |
| We feel good about our overall adjusted net asset position and the longer-term trend |
| Overall, we were pleased with our ability to generate strong performance across the platform in the first quarter and believe the market environment will continue to provide favorable risk reward investment opportunities for our fund investors |
| As Jimmy mentioned, our performance for the quarter across the board was strong |
| Given our flexible and opportunistic investment mandate, we believe we should be able to continue to capitalize on this opportunity set |
| In credit, higher base rates, wider excess spreads and greater investor protections have led to an attractive and building investment pipeline |
| We are well positioned due to our diverse set of investment capabilities across geographies and asset classes and the strong team we have in place |
| The fund delivered strong performance both on an absolute basis and relative to the HFRI fixed income credit index, which was up 1.7% for the quarter |
| This fund also delivered strong performance, both on absolute and relative to the HFRI fund-weighted composite index, which was up 1.3% |
| In opportunistic credit, our Credit Opportunities Master Fund generated a gross return of 3.6% for the quarter, with all underlying strategies generating strong absolute returns |
| Amidst this turbulent market environment, our funds were able to deliver a solid absolute performance and relative outperformance versus peer indices |
| We have substantially recovered our losses and opportunities to credit and have made meaningful progress in multi-strategy against the high watermarks year-to-date |
| This incentive income highlights the benefits of fund diversification on our platform, which is the result of building blocks we put in place over the last decade in credit and real estate |
| And so while we've been enjoying strong returns, we have done so with a trailing 3-month [indiscernible] to global equities of about 0.2% -- sorry, 0.2 on average and realized 3-month volatility of approximately 5% or about 1/3 of the equity market's volatility |
| Our positive fund performance and opportunistic credit and multi-strategy was offset by net outflows across the platform |
| Said simply, it's a great time to be an opportunistic credit investor, in our opinion |
| On the real estate side, we continue to invest and harvest capital successfully |
| While many things change over time, there is one which does not: Our number one focus is to deliver great investment results to our fund investors |
| Jimmy Levin Good morning |
| Dava? Dava Ritchea Thank you, Jimmy, and good morning, everyone |

| On our revenues, we had management fees of $60 million for the first quarter, down from both the prior quarter and the first quarter of 2022, primarily from lower multi-strategy AUM |
| And again, I stated earlier, the trends on capital raising remain a little challenging for us at this time |
| We expect our overall flow picture to be challenged until there's a resolution of this externally driven legacy corporate noise |
| As we stated on the call earlier, fundraising overall has been challenged given the legacy corporate noise |
| As we discussed last quarter, we saw fundraising continue to be challenging during the first quarter, consistent with the second half of 2022, impacted primarily by the uncertainty and perceived instability created by public actions taken by the founder and former CEO of Och-Ziff, along with other factors, including broader industry trends |
| We're seeing continued signs of stress across global markets as rate volatility, poor liquidity and a general sense of fragility are prompting fast-changing market conditions |
| Taking a step back on the overall macro environment during the first quarter, despite a series of economic shocks, deteriorating fundamentals and tightening credit conditions, most major asset classes were up for the period |
| Adjusted net assets were down from the prior quarter, largely due to typical seasonality in our cash balance related to the timing of certain receivables and payables |
| The market was impacted by dislocation in the banking sector and interest rate volatility not witnessed since the 1980s |
| Due to our overall assessment of the economic environment, the fund has been running with historically low gross and net exposure |
