1. On June 30, 2023, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 30, 2022, as amended on October 14, 2022 and April 20, 2023, by and among Abacus Life, Inc. (formerly known as East Resources Acquisition Company) (the "Issuer"), LMA Merger Sub, LLC ("LMA Merger Sub"), Abacus Merger Sub, LLC ("Abacus Merger Sub"), Longevity Market Assets, LLC ("LMA") and Abacus Settlements, LLC ("Legacy Abacus"), the Issuer completed its initial business combination (the "Business Combination").

2. (Continued footnote 1) As a result of the Business Combination, each outstanding share of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Issuer was automatically converted into a share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Common Stock"), of the Issuer on a one-for-one basis. Upon the completion of the Business Combination, LMA Merger Sub merged with and into LMA, with LMA surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, Abacus Merger Sub merged with and into Legacy Abacus, with Legacy Abacus surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and the Issuer was renamed "Abacus Life, Inc."
