Fnality International Limited

The Company owns approximately 7.3% (or 6.2% on a fully-diluted basis) of capital stock of Fnality International Limited (“Fnality”), a company incorporated in England and Wales and focused on creating a peer-to-peer digital wholesale settlement ecosystem comprised of a consortium of financial institutions, offering real time cross-border payments from a single pool of liquidity. The Company’s ownership interest is represented by 2,340,378 Series B-1 Preference Shares (“Fnality B-1 Shares”) and 3,029,294 Series C-1 Preference Shares (“Fnality C-1 Shares”). The Fnality B-1 Shares resulted from the conversion of the Company’s investment of £6,000 ($8,091) in convertible notes upon Fnality’s qualified equity financing which occurred in October 2023. The Fnality C-1 Shares resulted from (i) a new investment made by the Company in the amount of £10,000 ($13,553) as part of a qualified equity financing that occurred in September 2025, and (ii) the conversion of a previously outstanding convertible note issued by Fnality with a cost of $674 (previously listed as “other investments” in the table above). The Fnality B-1 Shares and the Fnality C-1 Shares are convertible into ordinary shares at the option of the Company and contain various rights and protections. The Fnality B-1 Shares carry a 1.0x liquidation preference, while the Fnality C-1 Shares carry a 1.5x liquidation preference, which may be reduced to 1.0x upon the occurrence of certain conditions, such as receipt of specified regulatory approvals or a subsequent qualified equity financing.

This investment is accounted for under the measurement alternative prescribed in ASC 321, as it does not have a readily determinable fair value and is otherwise not subject to the equity method of accounting. The investment is assessed for impairment and similar observable transactions on a quarterly basis. The (losses)/gains recognized by the Company on its investment in Fnality were ($969) and ($49), respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $476 and ($920), respectively, during the comparable periods in 2024. These (losses)/gains are recorded in other gains and losses, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and are inclusive of changes in the British pound to U.S. dollar exchange rate.

The Company’s investment in Fnality Series B-1 Shares was re-measured to fair value upon the occurrence of the Fnality C-1 Shares qualified equity financing in September 2025. Fair value was determined using the backsolve method, a valuation approach that determines the value of shares for companies with complex capital structures based upon the price paid for shares recently issued. Fair value was allocated across the capital structure using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The table below presents the inputs used in the backsolve valuation approach (classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy):
