Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. As permitted by SEC rules, Figure is making this proxy statement and its 2025 Annual Report available to its stockholders electronically via the Internet.

Questions and Answers About the Annual Meeting
WHO IS ENTITLED TO VOTE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 9, 2026. You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting only if you were a stockholder of record at 11:59 p.m. ET on that date, or if you hold a valid proxy for the Annual Meeting. Each outstanding share of our Blockchain common stock is entitled to one vote per share, each outstanding share of our Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and each outstanding share of Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share for all matters before the Annual Meeting in accordance with the provisions of our Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter”). Holders of our Blockchain common stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on any matter (including the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting) that is submitted to a vote of our stockholders, unless otherwise required by law or our Charter. As of 11:59 p.m. ET on the Record Date, there were 690,250 shares of Blockchain common stock, 181,663,016 shares of Class A common stock and 37,893,047 shares of Class B common stock outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, representing approximately 0.12%, 32.37% and 67.51% of the voting power of our common stock, respectively.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BEING A “RECORD HOLDER” AND HOLDING SHARES IN “STREET NAME”?
A record holder holds shares in his, her or its name. Shares held in “street name” means shares that are held in the name of a bank or broker on a person’s behalf.
AM I ENTITLED TO VOTE IF MY SHARES ARE HELD IN “STREET NAME”?
Yes. If your shares are held by a bank or a brokerage firm, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of those shares held in “street name.” If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being provided to you by your bank or brokerage firm, along with a voting instruction card if you received printed copies of our proxy materials. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your bank or brokerage firm how to vote your shares, and the bank or brokerage firm is required to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. See “How do I Vote‑Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in ‘Street Name’” below for additional information.
HOW MANY SHARES MUST BE PRESENT TO HOLD THE ANNUAL MEETING?
A quorum must be present at the Annual Meeting for any business to be conducted. The presence at the Annual Meeting online or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter), of the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the common stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum.
WHO CAN ATTEND THE ANNUAL MEETING?
Figure has decided to hold the Annual Meeting entirely online this year. You may attend and participate in the Annual Meeting by visiting the following website: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FIGR2026. To attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16‑digit control number included on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16‑digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 16‑digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote or ask questions. The meeting webcast will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. We encourage you to access the meeting prior to the start time. Online check‑in will begin at 8:45 a.m. Eastern Time, and you should allow ample time for the check‑in procedures.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 3 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
WHAT IF A QUORUM IS NOT PRESENT AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
If a quorum is not present at the scheduled time of the Annual Meeting, a majority of the voting power represented or the chairperson of the Annual Meeting is authorized by our Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) to adjourn the meeting, without a vote of stockholders, until a quorum is present.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN IF I RECEIVE MORE THAN ONE INTERNET NOTICE OR MORE THAN ONE SET OF PROXY MATERIALS?
It means that your shares are held in more than one account at the transfer agent and/or with banks or brokers. Please vote all of your shares. To ensure that all of your shares are voted, for each Internet Notice or set of proxy materials, please submit your proxy by phone, via the Internet, or, if you received printed copies of the proxy materials, by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the enclosed envelope.
HOW DO I VOTE?
Stockholders of Record. If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:
 | Internet You can vote over the Internet at www.proxyvote.com by following the instructions on the Internet Notice or proxy card; |  | Phone You can vote by telephone by calling 1‑800‑690‑6903 and following the instructions on the proxy card; |  | Mail You can vote by mail by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card, which you may have received by mail; |  | On line If you attend the meeting online, you will need the 16‑digit control number included in your Internet Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials to vote electronically during the meeting. | ||||||||||||||||
If you are a record holder of Blockchain common stock, you may cast your vote or abstain from voting over the Provenance Blockchain using your self-custodial wallet or Provenance-compatible custodial wallet (a "Compatible Wallet"). Holders of fractional shares of blockchain stock are entitled to cast votes on a proportional basis, including fractional votes, consistent with the number of shares of blockchain stock held as of 11:59 p.m. ET on the Record Date. The process for casting or abstaining from votes for holders of fractional shares will be the same as for holders of whole shares, including through self-custodial wallets or Compatible Wallets.
Internet and telephone voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day and will close at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on June 3, 2026. To participate in the Annual Meeting, including to vote via the Internet or telephone, you will need the 16‑digit control number included on your Internet Notice, on your proxy card or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials.
Whether or not you expect to attend the Annual Meeting online, we urge you to vote your shares as promptly as possible to ensure your representation and the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting. If you submit your proxy, you may still decide to attend the Annual Meeting and vote your shares electronically.
Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in “Street Name.” If your shares are held in “street name” through a bank or broker, you will receive instructions on how to vote from the bank or broker. You must follow their instructions in order for your shares to be voted. Internet and telephone voting also may be offered to stockholders owning shares through certain banks and brokers. If your shares are not registered in your own name and you would like to vote your shares online at the Annual Meeting, you should contact your bank or broker to obtain your 16‑digit control number or otherwise vote through the bank or broker. If you lose your 16‑digit control number, you may join the Annual Meeting as a “Guest” but you will not be able to vote or ask questions. You will need to obtain your own Internet access if you choose to attend the Annual Meeting online and/or vote over the Internet.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 4 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
CAN I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I SUBMIT MY PROXY?
Yes.
If you are a record stockholder, you may revoke your proxy and change your vote:
•by submitting a duly executed proxy bearing a later date;
•by granting a subsequent proxy through the Internet or telephone;
•by giving written notice of revocation to the Secretary of Figure prior to the Annual Meeting; or
•by attending and voting online at the Annual Meeting.
Your most recent proxy card or Internet or telephone proxy is the one that is counted. Your attendance at the Annual Meeting by itself will not revoke your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Secretary before your proxy is voted or you vote online at the Annual Meeting.
If your shares are held in street name, you may change or revoke your voting instructions by following the specific directions provided to you by your bank or broker, or you may vote online at the Annual Meeting using your 16‑digit control number or otherwise voting through your bank or broker.
WHO WILL COUNT THE VOTES?
A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., our inspector of election, will tabulate and certify the votes.
WHAT IF I DO NOT SPECIFY HOW MY SHARES ARE TO BE VOTED?
If you submit a proxy but do not indicate any voting instructions, the persons named as proxies will vote in accordance with the recommendations of the Board. The Board’s recommendations are indicated on page 2 of this proxy statement, as well as with the description of each proposal in this proxy statement.
WILL ANY OTHER BUSINESS BE CONDUCTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING?
We know of no other business that will be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matter properly comes before the stockholders for a vote at the Annual Meeting, however, the proxy holders named on the Company’s proxy card will vote your shares in accordance with their best judgment.
WHY HOLD A VIRTUAL MEETING?
We believe that hosting a virtual meeting this year is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. A virtual meeting also enables increased stockholder attendance and participation because stockholders can participate from any location around the world. You will be able to attend the Annual Meeting online and submit your questions by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FIGR2026. You also will be able to vote your shares electronically at the Annual Meeting by following the instructions above.
WHAT IF DURING THE CHECK‑IN TIME OR DURING THE ANNUAL MEETING I HAVE TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES OR TROUBLE ACCESSING THE VIRTUAL MEETING WEBSITE?
We will have technicians ready to assist you with any technical difficulties you may have accessing the virtual meeting website, and the information for assistance will be located on www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/FIGR2026.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 5 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
WILL THERE BE A QUESTION AND ANSWER SESSION DURING THE ANNUAL MEETING?
As part of the Annual Meeting, we will hold a live Q&A session, during which we intend to answer questions submitted online during the meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the meeting matters, as time permits. Only stockholders that have accessed the Annual Meeting as a stockholder (rather than a “Guest”) by following the procedures outlined above in “Who can attend the Annual Meeting?” will be permitted to submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is limited to no more than two questions. Questions and answers may be grouped by topic, and substantially similar questions may be grouped and answered as one. We will not address questions that are not pertinent to the business of the Company or the business of the Annual Meeting, or that we otherwise believe are not appropriate under the circumstances.
HOW MANY VOTES ARE REQUIRED FOR THE APPROVAL OF THE PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED UPON AND HOW WILL ABSTENTIONS AND BROKER NON‑VOTES BE TREATED?
| Proposal | Votes required | Effect of Votes Withheld / Abstentions and Broker Non‑Votes | ||||||
| Proposal 1: Election of Directors | The plurality of the votes cast. This means that the eight (8) nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as directors. | Votes withheld and broker non‑votes will have no effect. | ||||||
Proposal 2: Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm | The votes cast “FOR” the proposal must exceed the votes cast “AGAINST” the proposal. | Abstentions and broker non‑votes will have no effect. We do not expect any broker non‑votes on this proposal. | ||||||
WHAT ARE “VOTES WITHHELD” AND “ABSTENTIONS” AND DO THEY COUNT FOR DETERMINING A QUORUM?
A “vote withheld,” in the case of the proposal regarding the election of directors, or an “abstention,” in the case of the proposal regarding the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, represents a stockholder’s affirmative choice to decline to vote on a proposal.
Votes withheld and abstentions are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.
WHAT ARE BROKER NON‑VOTES AND DO THEY COUNT FOR DETERMINING A QUORUM?
Generally, broker non‑votes occur when shares held by a broker in “street name” for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because the broker (1) has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (2) lacks discretionary voting power to vote those shares. A broker is entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on routine matters, such as the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm, without instructions from the beneficial owner of those shares. On the other hand, absent instructions from the beneficial owner of such shares, a broker is not entitled to vote shares held for a beneficial owner on non‑routine matters, such as the election of directors. Broker non‑votes count for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present.
WHERE CAN I FIND THE VOTING RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL MEETING?
We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and we will report the final results in a Current Report on Form 8‑K, which we intend to file with the SEC after the Annual Meeting.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 6 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
PROPOSAL 1
Election of Directors
At the Annual Meeting, eight (8) directors are to be elected to hold office until the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2027 and until each such director’s successor shall be elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier death, retirement, disqualification, resignation or removal.
We currently have eight (8) directors on our Board. Our current directors, who are also director nominees for election at the Annual Meeting, are Michael Tannenbaum, Adam Boyden, Michael Cagney, David Katsujin Chao, Lesley Goldwasser, Sachin Jaitly, Daniel Morehead and June Ou. The Board has nominated each of the foregoing director candidates to serve as directors until the 2027 Annual Meeting.
The proposal regarding the election of directors requires the approval of a plurality of the votes cast. This means that the eight (8) nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative “FOR” votes will be elected as directors. Votes withheld and broker non‑votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal.
In accordance with our Charter and Bylaws, the directors currently stand for election for one‑year terms that expire at the following year’s annual meeting. Effective on and after the date on which Michael S. Cagney and his affiliates collectively cease to beneficially own more than 50% of the outstanding voting power of the Company’s capital stock (such date, the “Trigger Date”), the directors of the Company, other than those who may be elected solely by the holders of any series of Blockchain common stock or preferred stock under circumstances specified in the certificate of designation for such series, will be divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. The initial term of the Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting following the Trigger Date, the initial term of the Class II directors will expire at the second annual meeting following the Trigger Date and the initial term of the Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting following the Trigger Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders commencing with the first annual meeting following the Trigger Date, each of the individuals elected to succeed the directors of the class whose term expires at such annual meeting will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election.
Pursuant to our Charter and Bylaws, the total number of directors constituting the Board shall be not less than one (1), with the then‑authorized number of directors being fixed and thereafter changed from time to time (i) prior to the Trigger Date, by resolution(s) adopted by the Board or the holders of at least a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock; and (ii) from and after the Trigger Date, solely by resolution(s) adopted by the Board, which number is currently eight (8) members. Subject to the Charter or any rights of the holders of preferred stock or Blockchain common stock, if any, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors or any vacancies on the Board resulting from death, retirement, disqualification, resignation or removal from office or other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of the remaining directors then in office, even if less than a quorum of the Board, or by a sole remaining director. Subject to any rights of the holders of preferred stock or Blockchain common stock, if any, our directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause and by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the voting power.

PROPOSAL 2
Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Our Audit and Risk Management Committee (“Audit Committee”) has appointed KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Our Board has directed that this appointment be submitted to our stockholders for ratification at the Annual Meeting. Although ratification of our appointment of KPMG LLP is not required, we value the opinions of our stockholders and believe that stockholder ratification of our appointment is a good corporate governance practice.
KPMG LLP also served as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. Neither the accounting firm nor any of its members has any direct or indirect financial interest in or any connection with us in any capacity other than as our auditors, providing audit and non‑audit related services. A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to attend the Annual Meeting and to have an opportunity to make a statement and be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.
In the event that the appointment of KPMG LLP is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will consider this fact when it appoints the independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027. Even if the appointment of KPMG LLP is ratified, the Audit Committee retains the discretion to appoint a different independent auditor at any time if it determines that such a change is in the interest of the Company.
Recommendation of the Board of Directors
| The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the Ratification of the Appointment of KPMG LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. | ||||||||

2.Audit-related fees include fees for initial public offering readiness assessment services.
3.Tax fees include professional services in connection with tax compliance, planning and advice.
4.All other fees include fees for agreed-upon procedures related to securitization transactions.
PRE‑APPROVAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Audit Committee has adopted a policy (the “Pre‑Approval Policy”) that sets forth the procedures and conditions pursuant to which audit and non‑audit services proposed to be performed by the independent auditor may be pre‑approved. The Pre‑Approval Policy generally provides that we will not engage KPMG LLP to render any audit, audit‑related, tax or permissible non‑audit service unless the service is either (i) explicitly approved by the Audit Committee (“specific pre‑approval”) or (ii) entered into pursuant to the pre‑approval policies and procedures described in the Pre‑Approval Policy (“general pre‑approval”). Unless a type of service to be provided by KPMG LLP has received general pre‑approval under the Pre‑Approval Policy, it requires specific pre‑approval by the Audit Committee or by a designated member of the Audit Committee to whom the committee has delegated the authority to grant pre‑approvals. Any proposed services exceeding pre‑approved cost levels or budgeted amounts will also require specific pre‑approval. For both types of pre‑approval, the Audit Committee will consider whether such services are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence. The Audit Committee will also consider whether the independent auditor is best positioned to provide the most effective and efficient service, for reasons such as its familiarity with the Company’s business, people, culture, accounting systems, risk profile and other factors, and whether the service might enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality. All such factors will be considered as a whole, and no one factor should necessarily be determinative. The Audit Committee periodically reviews and generally pre‑approves any services (and related fee levels or budgeted amounts) that may be provided by KPMG LLP without first obtaining specific pre‑approvals from the Audit Committee or the Chair of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may revise the list of general pre‑approved services from time to time, based on subsequent determinations. The Audit Committee pre-approved all services performed since the Pre-Approval Policy was adopted.

Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
The Audit Committee has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements of Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. (the “Company”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 and has discussed these financial statements with management and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee has also received from, and discussed with, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm various communications that such independent registered public accounting firm is required to provide to the Audit Committee, including the matters required to be discussed by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided the Audit Committee with a formal written statement required by PCAOB Rule 3526 (Communications with Audit Committees Concerning Independence) describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company, including the disclosures required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence. In addition, the Audit Committee discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm its independence from the Company.
Based on its discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and its review of the representations and information provided by management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

Corporate Governance
GENERAL
Our Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines, a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to serve as a framework for the effective governance of the Company. You can access our committee charters, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics on our website at https://www.figure.com/investors, or by writing to our Secretary at our offices at 100 West Liberty Street, Suite 600, Reno, Nevada 89501.
BOARD COMPOSITION
Our Board currently consists of eight members: Michael Tannenbaum, Adam Boyden, Michael Cagney, David Katsujin Chao, Lesley Goldwasser, Sachin Jaitly, Daniel Morehead and June Ou. Subject to any rights of the holders of preferred stock or Blockchain common stock, if any, our directors may be removed from office at any time, with or without cause and by the affirmative vote of not less than two-thirds of the voting power. In accordance with our Charter and Bylaws, the directors currently stand for election for one‑year terms that expire at the following year’s annual meeting. Effective on and after the Trigger Date, the directors, other than those who may be elected solely by the holders of any series of Blockchain common stock or preferred stock under circumstances specified in the certificate of designation for such series, will be divided into three classes with staggered, three-year terms. The initial term of the Class I directors will expire at the first annual meeting following the Trigger Date, the initial term of the Class II directors will expire at the second annual meeting following the Trigger Date and the initial term of the Class III directors will expire at the third annual meeting following the Trigger Date. At each annual meeting of stockholders commencing with the first annual meeting following the Trigger Date, each of the individuals elected to succeed the directors of the class whose term expires at such annual meeting will be elected to serve from the time of election and qualification until the third annual meeting following their election.
Our Charter provides that, for as long as the holders of Class B common stock collectively own at least 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, the holders of Class B common stock shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate the majority of directors for election to our board of directors, and we shall include such nominees for election to our board of directors at all of our applicable annual or special meetings of stockholders (or consents in lieu of meetings) at which directors are to be elected (adjusted as appropriate to take into account our classified board of directors, if applicable).
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
In making its independence determinations, the Board reviewed and discussed information provided by the directors with regard to each director’s business and personal activities and any relationships they have with us and our management. As a result of this review, our Board determined that Adam Boyden, David Katsujin Chao, Lesley Goldwasser, Sachin Jaitly and Daniel Morehead are “independent directors” as defined under the applicable Nasdaq rules, representing five of our eight directors.
In making these determinations, our board of directors considered the current and prior relationships that each non-employee director has with our Company and all other facts and circumstances that our Board deemed relevant in determining their independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director, and the transactions involving them described in the section titled “Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions.”
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 16 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
CONTROLLED COMPANY EXEMPTION
The Nasdaq rules define a “controlled company” as a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company. Michael Cagney, our co-founder and member of our board of directors, controls a majority of the voting power represented by our capital stock. As a result, we are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq and as such, we qualify for exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements. We currently rely on the “controlled company” exemptions with respect to the Nasdaq requirements that (a) a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (b) the compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors, and (c) the nominating and corporate governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors. Accordingly, our stockholders may not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the Nasdaq rules. If at any time we cease to be a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq rules and our shares continue to be listed on Nasdaq, our Board intends to take all action necessary to comply with the Nasdaq corporate governance rules applicable to non-controlled companies in the required timeframe.
FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
Mr. Cagney and Ms. Ou are husband and wife. There are no other family relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.
DIRECTOR CANDIDATES
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is primarily responsible for identifying and reviewing the qualifications of potential director candidates and recommending to the Board those candidates to be nominated for election to the Board.
To facilitate the search process for director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may solicit our current directors and executives for the names of potentially qualified candidates or may ask directors and executives to pursue their own business contacts for the names of potentially qualified candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consult with outside advisors or retain search firms to assist in the search for qualified candidates or consider director candidates recommended by our stockholders.
Once potential candidates are identified, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews the backgrounds of those candidates, evaluates candidates’ independence from us and potential conflicts of interest and determines if candidates meet the qualifications desired by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of candidates for election as director.
In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, in evaluating the suitability of individual candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates with personal and professional integrity, strong ethics, values and the ability to make mature business judgments. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may consider, among other criteria: experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company; experience as a board member of another publicly held company; relevant professional and academic experience relevant to the Company’s industry; leadership skills; experience in finance, accounting and/or executive compensation practices; whether the candidate has the time required for preparation, participation and attendance at Board meetings and committee meetings, if applicable, and any other relevant qualifications, attributes or skills. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the Board monitors the mix of specific experience, qualifications and skills of its directors in order to assure that the Board, as a whole, has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively in light of the Company’s business and structure. In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board.
Stockholders may recommend individuals to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee for consideration as potential director candidates by submitting the names of the recommended individuals, together with appropriate biographical information and background materials, to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, c/o Corporate Secretary and Chief Legal Officer Ronald Chillemi, Figure Technology Solutions, Inc., 100 West Liberty Street, Suite 600, Reno, Nevada 89501. In the event there is a vacancy, and assuming that appropriate biographical and background material has been provided on a timely basis, the Committee will evaluate stockholder-recommended candidates by following substantially the same process, and applying substantially the same criteria, as it follows for candidates submitted by others.

COMMUNICATIONS FROM STOCKHOLDERS
The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications that are submitted by stockholders, and will respond if and as appropriate. Our Secretary is primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and for providing copies or summaries to the directors as he considers appropriate.
Communications are forwarded to all directors if they relate to important substantive matters and include suggestions or comments that our Secretary and Chairman of the Board consider to be important for the directors to know. In general, communications relating to corporate governance and long‑term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than communications relating to ordinary business affairs, personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications. Stockholders who wish to send communications on any topic to the Board should address such communications to the Board in writing: c/o Secretary, Figure Technology Solutions, Inc., 100 West Liberty Street, Suite 600, Reno, Nevada 89501.
BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE AND ROLE IN RISK OVERSIGHT
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that the roles of Chair of the Board and Chief Executive Officer may be separated or combined, and our Board exercises its discretion in combining or separating these positions as it deems appropriate in light of prevailing circumstances. The positions of our Chair of the Board and our Chief Executive Officer are currently served by two separate persons. Currently, Michael Tannenbaum serves as Chief Executive Officer and Michael Cagney serves as Chair of the Board. The Board believes that our current leadership structure of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board being held by two separate individuals is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and strikes the appropriate balance between the Chief Executive Officer’s responsibility for the strategic direction, day-to day-leadership and performance of our Company and the Chair of the Board’s responsibility to guide overall strategic direction of our Company and provide oversight of our corporate governance and guidance to our Chief Executive Officer and to set the agenda for and preside over Board meetings. We recognize that different leadership structures may be appropriate for companies in different situations and believe that no one structure is suitable for all companies. Accordingly, the Board will continue to periodically review our leadership structure and make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that, if the Chair of the Board is a member of management or does not otherwise qualify as independent, the independent directors may elect a Lead Director. Adam Boyden currently serves as Lead Independent Director. The Lead Director’s responsibilities include, but are not limited to: presiding over all meetings of the Board at which the Chair of the Board is not present, including any executive sessions of the independent directors; calling meetings or separate sessions of the independent directors; approving Board meeting schedules, agendas and information sent to the Board; and acting as the liaison between the independent directors, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chair of the Board, and, when appropriate, meeting or otherwise communicating with major stockholders or other constituencies of the Company.
Risk assessment and oversight are an integral part of our governance and management processes. Our Board encourages management to promote a culture that incorporates risk management into our corporate strategy and day‑to‑day business operations. Management discusses strategic and operational risks at regular management meetings and conducts specific strategic planning and review sessions during the year that include a focused discussion and analysis of the risks facing us. Throughout the year, senior management intends to review these risks with the Board at regular Board meetings as part of management presentations that focus on particular business functions, operations or strategies, and presents the steps taken by management to mitigate or eliminate such risks. Our Board administers this oversight function directly through the Board as a whole, as well as through various standing committees of the Board that address risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight.
Our Board is responsible for monitoring and assessing overall strategic risk exposure. Our Board considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the IT Security Risk Committee oversight of cybersecurity risks, including oversight of management's implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program. The IT Security Risk Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks and reports to the full Board regarding its activities. Our management team, led by our Chief Information Security Officer, is primarily responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 19 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
Our Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our enterprise risk management framework and related activities, including risks relating to the blockchain technologies utilized by the Company and its affiliated entities, as well as categories of risk such as operational, credit, market, interest rate, reputational, liquidity, counterparty, fiduciary, and business continuity and resiliency risks. The Audit Committee reviews with management these categories of risk, evaluating risk concentrations, interrelationships, likelihood of occurrence, potential impact, and mitigating measures. The Audit Committee also reviews and, as applicable, approves the Company's risk appetite and risk tolerance levels, and receives periodic reports from management on risk metrics and regulatory matters, including regulatory treatment and technological developments relating to cryptographic tokens and blockchain technology. In addition, the Audit Committee monitors compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and considers and approves or disapproves any related person transactions.
Our Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to our compensation plans and arrangements, as well as oversight of our strategies, policies, and practices with respect to human capital management and talent development. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee manages risks associated with the independence of our Board and governance matters, and periodically reviews and provides oversight with respect to the Company's strategy, initiatives, policies, and risks concerning environmental and social matters.
The allocation of risk oversight responsibility delegated to each committee by the Board may change, from time to time, based on the evolving needs of the Company. The Board does not believe that its role in the oversight of our risks affects the Board’s leadership structure.
CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS
Our board of directors adopted a code of business conduct and ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, as well as our contractors, consultants, and agents. The full text of our code of business conduct and ethics is available on the investor relations page on our website at https://www.figure.com/investors. We intend to disclose any amendments to our code of business conduct and ethics, or waivers of its requirements, applicable to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions, on our website identified above, or in filings under the Exchange Act.
INSIDER TRADING COMPLIANCE POLICY
Our Board has adopted an Insider Trading Compliance Policy and Procedures governing the purchase, sale and/or other dispositions of our securities by our directors, officers and employees. We believe that our Insider Trading Compliance Policy and Procedures are reasonably designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations, and any listing standards applicable to us. It is also our policy to comply with applicable insider trading laws and regulations with respect to transactions in our own securities. A copy of the Insider Trading Compliance Policy and Procedures is filed as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
ANTI-HEDGING POLICY
The Insider Trading Compliance Policy also prohibits our directors, officers and employees and any entities they control from purchasing financial instruments such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds, or otherwise engaging in transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of the Company’s equity securities, or that may cause an officer, director, or employee to no longer have the same objectives as the Company’s other stockholders.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 20 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
CLAWBACK POLICY
Our Board has adopted a Policy for Recovery of Erroneously Awarded Compensation (the "Clawback Policy"), in accordance with the Nasdaq listing standards and Exchange Act Rule 10D-1, which applies to our current and former executive officers. Under the Clawback Policy, we are required to recoup the amount of any erroneously awarded compensation (as defined in the Clawback Policy) on a pre-tax basis within a specified lookback period in the event of any Financial Restatement (as defined in the Clawback Policy), subject to limited impracticability exceptions. Administration of the Clawback Policy is overseen and administered by the Compensation Committee.
ATTENDANCE BY MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT MEETINGS
Following the IPO, there were two meetings of the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of (i) all meetings of the Board and (ii) all meetings of the committees on which the director served during the period in which he or she served as a director.
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which is available on our website at https://www.figure.com/investors, a director is expected to spend the time and effort necessary to properly discharge his or her responsibilities. Accordingly, a director is expected to regularly prepare for and attend meetings of the Board and any committee on which the director sits (including separate meetings of the independent directors), with the understanding that, on occasion, a director may be unable to attend a meeting. A director who is unable to attend a meeting of the Board or a committee of the Board is expected to notify the Chair of the Board or the Chair of the appropriate committee in advance of such meeting, and, whenever possible, participate in such meeting via teleconference in the case of an in‑person meeting. We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, it is expected that absent compelling circumstances directors will attend. Given the timing of our IPO, we did not hold an annual meeting in 2025.

2025 SALARIES
Our NEOs receive a base salary to compensate them for services rendered to our Company. The base salary payable to each NEO is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation reflecting the executive’s skill set, experience, role and responsibilities. For fiscal year 2025, the annual base salaries for Mr. Tannenbaum, Ms. Kgil and Mr. Stevens were as follows: $424,715, $450,000 and $350,000, respectively.
Our board of directors may, from time to time, adjust base salaries in their discretion. For fiscal year 2025, Mr. Tannenbaum’s annual base salary was increased from $375,000 to $424,715.
2025 BONUSES
We maintain a quarterly performance-based bonus program in which our NEOs participated during fiscal year 2025. Under the performance-based bonus program, each applicable NEO’s target bonus amount is expressed as a percentage of quarterly base salary. For fiscal year 2025, the target quarterly bonus amount for Messrs. Tannenbaum and Stevens and Ms. Kgil was 100%, 100% and 33%, respectively. Effective April 1, 2025, Mr. Stevens’ target quarterly bonus amount was increased to 100% of his quarterly base salary. In addition, pursuant to his offer letter, Mr. Tannenbaum was entitled to guaranteed quarterly bonus payments as described below under “Executive Compensation Arrangements—Michael Tannenbaum.”
Prior to each quarterly bonus period, participants may elect to receive bonus payments earned for such quarterly bonus period in the form of cash or fully vested shares of common stock. No named executive officers elected to receive their bonus in the form of shares with respect to 2025.
For fiscal year 2025, under our quarterly performance-based bonus program, bonus amounts earned were based on achievement of certain quarterly company qualitative and quantitative metrics relating to our strategic and operational goals. The goals established for our NEOs under our 2025 bonus program were solely based on Company performance rather than individual performance. For fiscal year 2025, the Company performance goals for the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter and fourth quarter were achieved at 100%, 100%, 100% and 110%, respectively.
IPO BONUS AWARD
In connection with our initial public offering, we granted a one-time bonus award for the contributions of Michael Tannenbaum and Macrina Kgil to the success of our IPO, in the amounts of $600,000 and $300,000, respectively. In the event the executive resigns or is terminated for cause within one year from September 10, 2025, the executive is required to repay the post-tax amount of the bonus to the Company.
EQUITY COMPENSATION
We have historically granted stock options and RSUs to our employees, including our NEOs, to attract and retain them, as well as to align their interests with the interests of our stockholders.
Typically, stock options granted to our employees are intended to qualify as “incentive stock options” to the extent permitted under the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the “Code”), though we also grant non-qualified stock options where determined appropriate. The stock options granted to our NEOs are subject to time-based vesting as follows: 1/4th of the shares subject to the option vest on the first anniversary of the vesting commencement date, and 1/48th of the shares subject to the option vest monthly thereafter, subject to the executive’s continued employment through the applicable vesting dates.
In fiscal year 2025, we granted option awards covering the following number of shares to Mr. Tannenbaum and Ms. Kgil: 530,135 and 42,149, respectively. Options granted to Mr. Tannenbaum and Ms. Kgil in fiscal year 2025 have an exercise price of $10.51 per share.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 27 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
The RSUs granted to certain of our NEOs vested based on the satisfaction of both a service-based vesting condition and a liquidity event-based vesting condition. The service-based vesting condition is satisfied as follows: 1/4th of the shares subject to the RSUs vest on the first anniversary of the applicable vesting commencement date, and 1/16th of the shares subject to the RSUs vest in quarterly installments thereafter. The liquidity event-based vesting condition is satisfied upon the occurrence of (i) an initial public offering or SPAC transaction or (ii) a change in control prior to the seventh anniversary of the grant date. Our initial public offering constituted a liquidity event for purposes of the RSUs.
In fiscal year 2025, we granted RSU awards covering the following number of shares to Mr. Tannenbaum and Ms. Kgil: 530,135 and 42,149, respectively.
We currently maintain the Figure Technologies, Inc. 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) in order to attract, retain, motivate and reward employees, non-employee directors and key consultants to our Company and our subsidiaries.
In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted the 2025 Incentive Award Plan (the “2025 Plan”) in order to facilitate the grant of cash and equity incentives to directors, employees (including our named executive officers) and consultants of our Company and to enable our Company to obtain and retain services of these individuals. Following the effective date of the 2025 Plan, no further grants will be made under our 2018 Plan or the Figure Markets Holdings, Inc. Incentive Award Plan (the “2024 Plan”). However, the 2018 Plan and the 2024 Plan will continue to govern the terms and conditions of the outstanding awards granted thereunder.
Equity Grant Practices
We do not We do not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of equity awards or for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation. Proximity of any awards to an earnings announcement or other market events is coincidental. In the event material nonpublic information were to become known to the Compensation Committee before the grant of an equity award, the Compensation Committee would consider the information and use its business judgment to determine whether to delay the grant to avoid any appearance of impropriety. During 2025, we granted stock options prior to and in connection with our IPO, but we did not grant any stock options or option-like instruments following the completion of the IPO.
New equity awards are reviewed and presented to the Compensation Committee for approval on a quarterly basis. The Compensation Committee evaluates proposed awards in the context of market practices, individual performance, and the Company’s overall compensation objectives. All grants are subject to approval by the Compensation Committee.
OTHER ELEMENTS OF COMPENSATION
Retirement Plan
We maintain a 401(k) retirement savings plan (the “401(k) plan”) for our employees, including our named executive officers, who satisfy certain eligibility requirements. Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in the 401(k) plan on the same terms as other full-time employees. The Code allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, within prescribed limits, on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the 401(k) plan. We believe that providing a vehicle for tax-deferred retirement savings through our 401(k) plan adds to the overall desirability of our compensation package and further incentivizes our employees, including our named executive officers, in accordance with our compensation policies.
Employee Benefits and Perquisites
All of our employees, including our named executive officers, are eligible to participate in our health and welfare plans, including:
•medical, dental and vision benefits;
•short-term and long-term disability insurance; and
•life insurance.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 28 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
We did not provide any perquisites or special personal benefits to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2025, but our compensation committee may from time to time approve them in the future when our compensation committee determines that such perquisites are necessary or advisable to fairly compensate or incentivize our employees.
No Tax Gross-ups
We do not make gross-up payments to cover our named executive officers’ personal income taxes that may pertain to any of the compensation or perquisites paid or provided by us.
Clawback Policy
In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted a compensation recovery policy that is compliant with the listing rules of NASDAQ, as required by the Dodd-Frank Act, which became effective upon the effectiveness of our initial public offering.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy
In connection with our initial public offering, we adopted a non-employee director compensation policy that is applicable to each of our non-employee directors.
Pursuant to this policy, each eligible non-employee director other than those directors affiliated with certain of our sponsors will receive an annual cash retainer of $75,000 that will be paid quarterly in arrears. In addition, an eligible director serving as lead independent director of our board of directors will receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000; the chairperson of the audit committee will receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000 and each other member of the audit committee will receive an additional cash retainer of $10,000; the chairperson of the compensation committee will receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000 and each other member of the compensation committee will receive an additional cash retainer of $10,000; and the chairperson of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000 and each other member of the nominating and corporate governance committee will receive an additional cash retainer of $10,000.
In addition and pursuant to this policy, eligible non-employee directors other than those directors affiliated with certain of our sponsors will be eligible to receive an annual equity award of RSUs with a grant date fair value of $100,000 (with prorated awards made to directors who join after this offering on a date other than the date of an annual meeting), which will generally vest in full on the earlier of (i) the day immediately prior to the date of our annual stockholder meeting immediately following the date of grant and (ii) the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the non-employee director continuing service through such date. In the event of a change in control (as defined in the 2025 Plan), all outstanding equity awards granted to our non-employee directors pursuant to this policy will accelerate and vest in full.
Founder Retention Award
In connection with our initial public offering, our board of directors, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee, and taking into account advice from Meridian, approved the grant of an equity award under the 2025 Plan covering an aggregate number of shares of Class B common stock equal to 4% of the number of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock outstanding as of the date of the initial public offering on an as-converted basis to Mr. Cagney (the “Founder Retention Award”). The Founder Retention Award is intended to help ensure Mr. Cagney’s retention as Chairman for at least an additional four years. We firmly believe Mr. Cagney’s retention is of paramount concern, with consideration given to his essential role in achieving our long-term strategy and our goal to deliver meaningful value to our stockholders.
The Founder Retention Award consists of (i) 3,200,942 options that vest based on continued service to our Company over a four-year period (the “Chairman Options”), (ii) 3,200,942 RSUs that vest based on continued service to our Company over a four-year period (the “Chairman RSUs”) and (iii) 2,133,961 performance-based RSUs that vest based on the achievement of stock price performance goals (the “Chairman Stock Price PSUs”). This award mix was intended to ensure our goal of retention while also further aligning Mr. Cagney’s interests with those of our stockholders by incorporating vesting events that deliver significant value creation for the Company’s stockholders. On November 12, 2025, upon recommendation from the Compensation Committee and taking into account further advice from Meridian, the board of directors approved that the time-based vesting schedule applicable to the Chairman Options and the Chairman RSUs be amended to remove the initially approved one-year vesting cliff and instead vested solely in monthly installments, consistent with the Company’s historical practice to not include a one-year vesting cliff on equity awards granted to its service providers which were not the initial equity awards granted to such service providers.
The Chairman Options have an exercise price equal to $25.00 and will vest, subject to Mr. Cagney’s continued service to our Company through each vesting date, in forty-eight substantially equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of September 10, 2025 (the “Chairman Vesting Commencement Date”) such that the award will be fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the Chairman Vesting Commencement Date.
The Chairman RSUs will vest, subject to Mr. Cagney’s continued service to our Company through each vesting date, in forty-eight substantially equal monthly installments on each monthly anniversary of the Chairman Vesting Commencement Date such that the award will be fully vested on the fourth anniversary of the Chairman Vesting Commencement Date.
| Figure Technology Solutions, Inc. | 32 | 2026 Proxy Statement | ||||||
The Chairman Stock Price PSUs are conditioned on satisfaction of certain stock price-based vesting conditions. The stock price-based vesting conditions can be satisfied at the end of four consecutive annual performance periods ending on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the Chairman Vesting Commencement Date (each such anniversary, a “Performance Date”) based on the achievement of certain specified stock price hurdles, set forth in the table below, subject to Mr. Cagney’s continued service through the applicable Performance Dates:
| Performance Date | Stock Price Hurdle (1) ($) | Percentage of Chairman Stock Price PSUs Satisfying the Stock Price-Based Vesting Conditions (%) | |||||||||
| 1st Anniversary of Chairman Vesting Commencement Date | $32.50 (130% of the IPO price) | 25 | |||||||||
| 2nd Anniversary of Chairman Vesting Commencement Date | $42.25 (169% of the IPO price) | 25 | |||||||||
| 3rd Anniversary of Chairman Vesting Commencement Date | $52.75 (211% of the IPO price) | 25 | |||||||||
| 4th Anniversary of Chairman Vesting Commencement Date | $63.00 (252% of the IPO price) | 25 | |||||||||
1.For purposes of each performance date, calculated based on the average trading price of our Class A common stock over the final ten trading days of the applicable performance year.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any portion of the Chairman Stock Price PSUs for which the stock price-based vesting condition is not achieved in respect of the first Performance Date, the second Performance Date or the third Performance Date, respectively, shall remain outstanding and eligible to vest based on the achievement of the applicable stock price hurdle for a subsequent Performance Date. Any portion of the Chairman Stock Price PSUs which remains unvested as of the final Performance Date shall be forfeited.
Unless otherwise determined by our board of directors, if Mr. Cagney incurs a termination of service prior to any portion of the Founder Retention Award becoming vested, such unvested portions shall be forfeited upon such termination of service.
In the event a Change in Control (as defined in the 2025 Plan) occurs prior to the final Performance Date and the stock price-based vesting condition for any applicable tranche of the Chairman Stock Price PSUs has not been achieved, and the Chairman Stock Price PSUs are not continued, assumed or otherwise replaced by the surviving entity according to the terms of the 2025 Plan, then, such unvested Chairman Stock Price PSUs will be eligible to vest in connection with such Change in Control, with stock price performance measured based on the per share price received by stockholders in connection with such Change in Control, subject to Mr. Cagney’s continued service through the date of such Change in Control. Any portion of the Chairman Stock Price PSUs which does not vest in connection with the Change in Control shall be forfeited as of the date of such Change in Control.

Stock Ownership
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of our voting shares by:
•each person who is known to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our voting shares;
•each of our executive officers and directors; and
•all of our executive officers and directors as a group.
Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days, provided that any person who acquires any such right with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the issuer, or in connection with or as a participant in any transaction having such purpose or effect, immediately upon such acquisition shall be deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities which may be acquired through the exercise of such right. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities.
Our authorized common stock consists of Blockchain common stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Because the Blockchain common stock is convertible into Class A common stock at any time at the option of the holder, any holder of Blockchain common stock will be deemed to be the beneficial owner of Class A common stock for purposes of U.S. federal securities laws.
Beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock is based on 690,250 shares of Blockchain common stock, 181,663,016 shares of Class A common stock and 37,893,047 shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding as of 11:59 p.m. ET on April 9, 2026.
Unless otherwise indicated, we believe that all persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of voting shares beneficially owned by them. Except as set forth below, to our knowledge, none of our shares of common stock beneficially owned by any executive officer or director have been pledged as security.

Certain Relationships and Related Person Transactions
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR RELATED PERSON TRANSACTIONS
Our Board recognizes the fact that transactions with related persons present a heightened risk of conflicts of interests (or the perception thereof). We have a written policy on transactions with related persons that is in conformity with the requirements for issuers having publicly held common stock that is listed on Nasdaq. Under the policy, our legal team is primarily responsible for developing and implementing processes and procedures to obtain information regarding related persons with respect to potential related person transactions and then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether such potential related person transactions do, in fact, constitute related person transactions requiring compliance with the policy. In addition, any potential related person transaction that is proposed to be entered into by the Company must be reported to the Company’s Chief Legal Officer (or his or her designee), by both the related person and the person at the Company responsible for such potential related person transaction.
If our legal team determines that a transaction or relationship is a related person transaction requiring compliance with the policy, our Chief Legal Officer (or his or her designee) is required to present to the Audit Committee all relevant facts and circumstances relating to the related person transaction. Our Audit Committee must review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related person transaction, including whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction, take into account the conflicts of interest and corporate opportunity provisions of our organizational documents and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, and either approve or disapprove the related person transaction. If advance Audit Committee approval of a related person transaction requiring the Audit Committee’s approval is not feasible, then the transaction may be preliminarily entered into by management upon prior approval of the transaction by the chairperson of the Audit Committee, subject to ratification of the transaction by the Audit Committee at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification is not forthcoming, management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction. If a transaction was not initially recognized as a related person transaction, then upon such recognition the transaction will be presented to the Audit Committee for ratification at the Audit Committee’s next regularly scheduled meeting; provided, that if ratification is not forthcoming, management will make all reasonable efforts to cancel or annul the transaction.
Our management will update the Audit Committee as to any material changes to any approved or ratified related person transaction and will provide a status report at least annually of all then current related person transactions. No director may participate in approval of a related person transaction for which he or she is a related person.
The following are certain transactions, arrangements and relationships with our directors, executive officers and stockholders owning 5% or more of our outstanding common stock, or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, since January 1, 2025, other than equity and other compensation, termination, change in control and other arrangements, which are described under “Executive Compensation.” All related person transactions described below that occurred prior to adoption of the formal, written policy described above were not subject to the approval and review procedures set forth in the policy.

In March 2024, in connection with a series of transactions, we separated our business and Figure Lending Corp. (“FLC”) and Figure Markets Holdings, Inc. (“FMH”) began operating as separate businesses (the “Separation”).
In connection with and to effectuate the Separation, Figure Technologies, LLC (f/k/a Figure Technologies, Inc.) (“FT”) created each of FMH and the Company as direct wholly‑owned subsidiaries of FT. Following the formation of these entities, we completed the Separation through a series of steps, which resulted in, (i) FLC being the sole owner of certain lending‑related intellectual property and commercial contracts that were previously owned by FT, (ii) the Company becoming a holding company whose principal assets were the shares it held in FLC, (iii) FMH becoming a separate company, and (iv) FT being a wholly‑owned subsidiary of FMH. On March 19, 2024, Figure Technologies, Inc. converted into Figure Technologies, LLC.
The board of directors of each of FLC and FMH made a determination that it is in the best interests of both entities to recombine the businesses. On August 29, 2025, we recombined the businesses through a series of transactions (the “Recombination”) and FMH became a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the Company.
As a result of the Recombination, (i) the Company is a holding company with its principal assets consisting of shares in FLC and FMH, (ii) the Company is the sole shareholder of FLC and FMH, (iii) FMH is a wholly‑owned subsidiary of the Company, and (iv) the Company operates and controls all of the business and affairs of FLC, FMH, and their respective direct and indirect subsidiaries.
Prior to the consummation of the Recombination, our executive officers and members of the board of directors also served as directors and/or officers of FT and its subsidiaries and FMH. Mr. Cagney, Chairman of our board of directors, served as (i) the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the board of directors of FT, (ii) director, President, Chief Executive Officer, and Treasurer of FLC, (iii) director and President of Figure REIT, (iv) director and officer of certain of FT’s other subsidiaries and (v) director of FMH and certain of its subsidiaries. Mr. Cagney currently also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of FMH. Ms. Ou, member of our board of directors, served as an officer of FMH. Mr. Chao, member of our board of directors, served as a member of the board of directors of FMH and FT.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, Figure REIT contributed $264 million of loans to an FLC securitization.
Figure REIT purchases loans from our subsidiary Figure Lending LLC (“FL LLC”) through Figure Connect. Figure REIT and FL LLC entered into a Second Right of First Refusal to Purchase Loans Originated or Acquired by FL LLC dated December 20, 2024, granting Figure REIT a ROFR with respect to the lesser of $35 million or 10% of eligible HELOCs originated or acquired by FL LLC in any month that the aggregate HELOCs originated or acquired by FL LLC exceeds $140 million, not to exceed $100 million in the aggregate during the ROFR period (from the closing date until June 30, 2025).
Loan Sales and Servicing Agreements and Technology Services Agreement Between FL LLC And Figure Markets Credit LLC
On March 1, 2024, FL LLC entered into a (i) Purchase Agreement and (ii) Servicing Agreement (collectively, the “FMC LLC Purchase and Servicing Agreements”) with Figure Markets Credit LLC (“FMC LLC”), pursuant to which FL LLC, on behalf of FMC LLC sells and services the loans originated by FL LLC secured by Bitcoin or Ether (“Crypto‑Backed Loans”). As of December 31, 2025, FL LLC has originated, sold, and serviced $19.9 million, respectively, of such loans pursuant to the FMC LLC Purchase and Servicing Agreement.
On January 2, 2025, FL LLC entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with FMC LFV LLC (“FMC LFV”), a direct subsidiary of FMC LLC, to warehouse the Crypto‑Backed Loans purchased by FMC LLC and subsequently sold to FMC LFV. The facility was guaranteed by FMH and further secured by a pledge of all interests that FMC LLC holds in FMC LFV.

PROVENANCE FOUNDATION
Ms. Ou, one of our co‑founders and a member of our board of directors, serves as the Executive Director of the Provenance Foundation.

Term Note
In July 2022, FT entered into an interest bearing term note with the Provenance Blockchain Foundation (“Provenance”), pursuant to which FT provided Provenance with a $5.0 million loan, which was subsequently amended on June 12, 2023, to increase the total principal amount to $9.1 million. The term note was held by FMH and was eligible to be settled in cash or an equivalent value of HASH at maturity. At December 31, 2024 the outstanding principal of the loan, including interest paid in-kind, was recorded at $9.4 million, as “Loan to related parties” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest accrued on the note was $0.7 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, recorded as “Interest income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On December 31, 2025, the loan was settled in full. The total loan balance at the time of payoff, including all accrued interest, was $10.1 million. As allowed by the terms of the note, the payoff was satisfied through the transfer of 4,969,120,678 HASH tokens. The per token value of the HASH tokens was determined to be $0.00205, based on a valuation report provided by an independent third party. This valuation resulted in a total transfer value of $10.2 million. As the transfer of HASH tokens resulted in an overpayment by Provenance of $0.1 million, the Company recorded a payable to related party of $0.1 million, representing 31,707,317 HASH tokens to be returned to Provenance.
Services Agreement
In February 2025, Figure Certificate Company (“FCC”) entered into a services agreement (the “Provenance Services Agreement”) with Provenance Foundation, pursuant to which Provenance Foundation pays, on behalf of FCC, Hash Tokens (“HASH”) to cover fees to network validators for processing and validating operations on the blockchain incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of the face‑amount certificates issued by FCC and transacted on the Provenance Blockchain.
