Forward-Looking Statements

This announcement may contain forward-looking statements based on TPG’s beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to TPG. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “seeks,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” and similar references to future periods, or by the inclusion of forecasts or projections. Examples of forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements TPG makes regarding the outlook for our and/or Peppertree’s future business and financial performance, estimated operational metrics, business strategy, and plans and objectives of management for future operations, including, among other things, statements regarding the expected benefits of the acquisition.

Forward-looking statements are based on TPG’s current expectations and assumptions regarding its and/or Peppertree’s business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, by their nature, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. As a result, TPG’s actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the transaction; unexpected costs related to the integration of the Peppertree business and operations; TPG’s ability to manage growth and execute its business plan; and regional, national, or global political, economic, business, competitive, market, and regulatory conditions and uncertainties, among various other risks. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements and risk factors discussed from time to time in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including, but not limited to, those described under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 18, 2025 and subsequent filings with the SEC, which can be found at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

For the reasons described above, TPG cautions you against relying on any forward-looking statements, which should also be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included elsewhere in this announcement and related public filings. Any forward-looking statement made by TPG in this announcement speaks only as of the date on which TPG makes it. Factors or events that could cause actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for TPG to predict all of them. TPG undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise, except as may be required by law. No recipient should, therefore, rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the views of the Company or its management as of any date subsequent to the date of the document.

This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or an offer of any TPG fund.

¹ As of March 31, 2025, including AUM attributable to TPG Peppertree on a pro forma basis.

SE Labs Award Reinforces NetApp Status as the Most Secure Storage on the Planet

NetApp wins 2025 SE Labs Award for Enterprise Data Protection

SAN JOSE, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
NetApp® (NASDAQ: NTAP), the intelligent data infrastructure company, today announced that it was recognized as a standout performer in cybersecurity in the SE LABS ® Awards 2025. NetApp won the 2025 SE Labs Award for Enterprise Data Protection, validating NetApp’s status as the most secure storage on the planet.

This recognition as a winner of a 2025 SE Labs Award is a result of NetApp’s exceptional innovation in cyber resiliency to deliver NetApp ONTAP® Autonomous Ransomware Protection with Artificial Intelligence (ARP/AI), which was tested and validated by SE Labs. NetApp ARP/AI demonstrated 99 percent detection of tested, advanced full-file encryption ransomware attacks with zero false positives, indicating a strong ability to operate in a business context without contributing to alert fatigue.

“Great security doesn’t just happen—it’s built, tested and proven,” says Simon Edwards, Founder and CEO of SE Labs. “Behind every high performing security product is a team committed to excellence. We believe that we should celebrate the technologies and teams pushing the boundaries in protection and resilience against cyberattacks. The standard of competition for the top place in each category has been very high this year and all of our winners are to be congratulated.”

Now in its seventh year, the SE Labs Awards recognize those security vendors that deliver the very best in their field and are making a real difference in keeping systems secure. Judged based on a combination of continual public testing, private assessments, and feedback from SE Labs’ corporate clients, these are the products setting the benchmarks for the rest of the cyber security industry.

“Winning the 2025 SE Labs Award for Enterprise Data Protection highlights NetApp’s commitment to providing the most secure storage on the planet. With ARP/AI, NetApp is the first and only storage vendor with built-in, real-time AI-powered ransomware detection in primary storage for file workloads,” said Gagan Gulati, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Data Services at NetApp. “Keeping data and their businesses safe is a top concern for companies everywhere, with discussions about the disruption of ransomware attacks rising all the way to the boardroom. To combat the relentless threat of targeted, automated and destructive cyberattacks, companies need an intelligent data infrastructure with built-in cyber resilience.”

Since the release of ARP/AI, NetApp has continued to build and innovate its cyber resiliency solutions, announcing advanced capabilities to orchestrate protection of critical workloads in native cloud environments and the upcoming enhancements for ARP/AI to protect block storage workloads.

Statements by NetApp about unreleased offerings and future plans are for informational purposes only, are subject to change without notice, and should not be relied upon for purchasing or other decisions. Such statements do not constitute a commitment, obligation, guarantee, or warranty of any kind by NetApp, including about availability, functionality, pricing, or timing.

No ransomware detection or prevention system can completely guarantee safety from a ransomware attack. Although it’s possible that an attack might go undetected, NetApp technology acts as an important additional layer of defense, and our research indicates NetApp technology has resulted in a high degree of detection for certain file encryption-based ransomware attacks.

Forge Global Expands Investment Management and Wealth Capability with Completion of Accuidity Capital Management Acquisition

SAN FRANCISCO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Forge Global Holdings, Inc. (“Forge,” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FRGE), a leading provider of marketplace infrastructure, data services, technology, and investment solutions for the private market, today announced that it had completed its previously announced acquisition of Accuidity Capital Management (“Accuidity”), a specialized asset management firm focused on private market investing, in a simultaneous sign and close transaction.

Forge believes that this acquisition marks a significant step forward in Forge’s long-term strategic vision to deliver private market access more broadly and to serve as a valuable contributor to the capital ecosystem of high-growth private companies. Investor interest in private market strategies continues to grow, with global alternative assets under management expected to surpass $29 trillion by 2029¹, driven by demand for enhanced returns, diversification, and access to high-growth private companies. By integrating Accuidity’s differentiated investment strategies and sourcing ecosystem with Forge’s proprietary data, technology, and distribution capabilities, the Company aims to deliver a scalable portfolio of private market products designed to meet this growing demand in alternative assets from institutional and individual investors.

“Accuidity accelerates our strategic vision by enabling the launch of innovative financial products and strategies that broaden investor access to the private markets, while delivering primary and secondary capital solutions for private companies,” said Kelly Rodriques, CEO of Forge. “Leveraging our data, technology and global network alongside Accuidity’s expertise, we aim to deliver new investment opportunities to our growing global client base, with a strategic focus on the wealth channel.”

Through the acquisition, Forge is reinforcing its commitment to democratizing access to the private markets by expanding beyond single-asset strategies. The addition of Accuidity’s co-investment vehicles and early-stage venture funds enables Forge to offer a more diversified set of investment solutions through the Forge private market platform.

Furthermore, Forge and Accuidity will collaborate to transition Accuidity’s flagship Megacorn Fund—an institutionally managed index fund designed to replicate, over time, the performance of the Forge Accuidity Private Market Index—into an interval fund, compliant with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and subject to SEC approval. The Megacorn Fund could provide broader investor access to private market exposure at lower cost and with reduced investment minimums.

“Forge has been a leader in creating the indexes and pricing innovations on which new financial products are being built,” said Vince Gubitosi, Co-President of Accuidity. “Together, we believe we can integrate our asset management capabilities and unique investment strategy with the Forge platform, delivering investment opportunities through Forge’s network of clients, companies, registered investment advisors and more.”

“We see enormous potential to scale Accuidity’s strategies across new investor segments and channels,” said Mark DeNatale, Co-President of Accuidity. “We chose Forge as a partner because of their trusted reputation, scale, and operational integrity. Jointly, we’re unlocking the infrastructure needed to meet growing demand with flexible, transparent private market investment solutions.”

Building on the foundation of Forge’s custody business with $17.6 billion² AUC and Forge Global Advisors’ $1.1 billion AUM², the acquisition of Accuidity, which adds an additional $220 million³ in AUM, represents a meaningful step forward in the development of Forge’s broader wealth and asset management strategy. With a focus on delivering private market exposure through a range of fund vehicles, Forge is expanding its platform beyond direct client relationships to include financial advisors, registered investment advisors and other distribution partners. Forge believes these efforts will provide the necessary infrastructure and capabilities to make private markets more accessible, intuitive, and aligned with how today’s advisors and private market participants want to engage.

The acquisition was completed for $10.0 million in cash (subject to customary adjustments) and 1.15 million shares of newly issued shares of Forge common stock issued in a private placement transaction (a portion of which are subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions). In addition, the acquisition includes the potential for post-closing earn-out consideration of up to a maximum of 1 million additional shares of Forge common stock issuable upon the achievement of certain performance-related milestones through the end of 2027. During the twelve-month period ended May 31, 2025, Accuidity reported revenue of approximately $5.7 million⁴, and Forge believes the acquisition will be accretive to EPS.
