⯀ | Investment Banking and Capital Markets provides investment banking, capital markets and other related services to our clients. We provide underwriting and financial advisory services across most industry sectors in the Americas; Europe and the Middle East; and Asia. Our capital markets businesses operate across the spectrum of equities and fixed income products. Related services include prime brokerage, equity
finance, research and strategy, corporate lending and real estate finance. Investment Banking and Capital Markets also includes our corporate lending joint venture (JFIN Parent LLC), our commercial real estate finance joint venture (Berkadia Commercial Holding LLC) and our automobile lending and servicing activities. |
⯀ | Asset Management provides alternate investment management services to investors globally. In addition, through our asset management efforts, we often invest seed or additional strategic capital for our own account in the strategies offered by us and affiliated asset managers. |
⯀ | the
market price of our common shares may experience rapid and substantial increases or decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects, or macro or industry fundamentals, and substantial increases may be significantly inconsistent with the risks and uncertainties that we continue to face; |
⯀ | factors in the public trading market for our common shares may include the sentiment of retail investors (including as may be expressed on financial trading and other social media sites and online forums), the direct access by retail investors to broadly available trading platforms, the amount and status of short interest in our securities, access
to margin debt, trading in options and other derivatives on our common shares and any related hedging and other trading factors; |
⯀ | our market capitalization, as implied by recent trading prices, may reflect significantly higher valuations of the company than those seen prior to recent volatility and that are significantly higher than our market capitalization prior to such periods of volatility, and to the extent these valuations reflect trading dynamics unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, purchasers of our common shares could incur substantial losses if there are declines in the market prices of our common shares driven by a return
to earlier valuations; |
⯀ | to the extent volatility in our common shares is caused by a “short squeeze” in which coordinated trading activity causes a spike in the market price of our common shares as traders with a short position make market purchases to avoid or to mitigate potential losses, investors purchase at inflated prices unrelated to our financial performance or prospects, and may thereafter suffer substantial losses as prices decline once the level of short-covering purchases abates; and |
⯀ | if
the market price of our common shares subsequently declines, you may be unable to resell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them. |

ordinary course of business in connection with the obtaining of material, products or services), but only to the extent such indebtedness is enforceable by a money judgment; |
• | guarantees or assumptions by us of indebtedness of others of any of the kinds described in the preceding clause; and |
• | renewals, extensions and refundings of, and indebtedness of a successor corporation issued in exchange for or in replacement of, indebtedness, guarantees and assumptions of the kinds described in the preceding two clauses, unless, in the case of any particular indebtedness, obligation, guarantee, assumption, renewal, extension or refunding, the instrument creating or evidencing

United States, including, without limitation, such holder or |
• | any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge that would not have been imposed but for the presentation by the holder of the debt security for payment on a date more than 10 days after the date on which such payment became due and payable or the date on which payment thereof is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; |
• | any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, excise, personal property or similar tax, assessment or other governmental charge; |

practices adopted pursuant to any intergovernmental agreement entered into in connection therewith; |
• | any tax, assessment or other governmental charge imposed solely because the holder or the beneficial owner of such debt security (i) is a bank purchasing such debt security in the ordinary course of its lending business or (ii) is a bank that is neither (a) buying such debt security for investment purposes nor (b) buying such debt security for resale to a third party that either is not a bank or holding such debt security for investment purposes only; |
