Fraudulent transfers and fraud (against former agents). These actions, which arise under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state
law governing fraudulent transfers, seek to avoid and recover payments made by the Debtors during the course of the Ponzi scheme (from July 2012 through the December 4, 2017 bankruptcy filing) for commissions to former agents, as well
as for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, and the unlicensed sale of securities asserted by the Trust based on claims contributed to the Trust by defrauded investors. These actions were filed by the Trust in the United States Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware between November 15, 2019 and December 4, 2019. Actions of this type are also being pursued by the SEC, and it is the Trust’s understanding that any recoveries obtained by the SEC will be transmitted
to the Trust pursuant to a “Fair Fund” established by the SEC.

Actions regarding the Shapiros’ personal assets. On December 4, 2019, the Trust filed an action in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
District of Delaware, Adv. Pro. No. 10-51076 (BLS), Woodbridge Liquidation Trust v. Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro, 3X a Charm, LLC, Carbondale Basalt Owners, LLC, Davana Sherman Oaks Owners, LLC, In
Trend Staging, LLC, Midland Loop Enterprises, LLC, Schwartz Media Buying Company, LLC and Stover Real Estate Partners LLC. In this action, the Trust asserts claims under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code and applicable state law
for avoidance of preferential and fraudulent transfers together with claims for fraud, aiding and abetting fraud, the unlicensed sale of securities, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment. The Trust seeks to recover damages and
assets held in the names of Robert Shapiro, Jeri Shapiro and their family members and entities owned or controlled by them, which assets the Trust contends are beneficially owned by the Debtors or for which the Debtors are entitled to
recover based on the Shapiros’ defalcations, including over $20 million in avoidable transfers.

Criminal Proceeding and Forfeiture. In connection with the United States’ criminal case against Robert Shapiro (Case No. No.
19-20178-CR-ALTONAGA (S.D. Fla. 2019)), Shapiro agreed to the forfeiture of certain assets. The Trust filed a petition in the Florida court to claim the Forfeited Assets as property of the Debtors’ estates, and therefore as property
that had vested in the Trust pursuant to the Plan. The Trust has entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Justice to resolve its claim. The agreement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court on September 17, 2020 and
was approved by the United States District Court on October 1, 2020. Among other things, the agreement provides for the release of specified Forfeited Assets by the United States to the Trust, and for the Trust to liquidate those
assets and distribute the net sale proceeds to Qualifying Victims, which include the vast majority of Trust beneficiaries—specifically, all former holders of Class 3 and 5 claims and their permitted assigns—but do not include former
holders of Class 4 claims. The Trust has taken possession of most of the Forfeited Assets, and is working with the Department of Justice to obtain possession of the remainder of the Forfeited Assets.

Wind-Down Group Litigation. The Wind-Down Group owns a portfolio of real estate assets, which includes secured loans and other properties. As
part of its recovery efforts, the Wind-Down Group, through its subsidiaries, is involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental to such assets. Among other litigation, certain Woodbridge entities (including the Trust, the Wind-Down
Entity, and WB 8607 Honoapiilani, LLC) filed an action against Certain Underwriters at Lloyd’s of London in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleging that the defendant insurer breached its obligations under an insurance policy purchased to
protect a property owned by WB 8607 Honoapiilani (a subsidiary of the Wind-Down Entity) in Hawaii, which property was destroyed by fire in August 2017. The Superior Court granted the defendant’s motion for summary judgment, and on
March 25, 2021 entered judgment in favor of the defendant. The judgment provided that plaintiffs take nothing by way of the complaint. Further, the judgment provided that defendant refund plaintiffs for the premium payments under the
insurance policy at issue in the lawsuit (approximately $111,000), less all amounts paid by the defendant in respect of claims under the policy (approximately $98,000) and less defendant’s costs (defendant has requested costs of
approximately $10,000). Plaintiffs are considering their appellate options.
