On December 4, 2023, Slam Corp. (the “Company”) appointed Julian Nemirovsky as a new director of the Company. Mr. Nemirovsky has been appointed to serve on the audit committee and nominating committee of the Company, with such appointment effective upon his becoming a director of the Company.

The Company believes that Mr. Nemirovsky is well qualified to serve on the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) due to his experience in accounting and finance. Mr. Nemirovsky is the Founder and President of Long Castle Advisors, Corp., offering capital structure and related consulting services to operationally challenged and liquidity constrained businesses. He was formerly Head of Capital Markets at MacAndrews & Forbes, where he was responsible for managing all capital-structure matters relating to the firm’s portfolio companies and new investments. Prior to joining MacAndrews in 2020, he spent 8 years at MidOcean Credit Partners, where he held the title of Principal and Portfolio Manager. Prior to joining MidOcean in 2011, he was an Associate at Union Capital, a lower-middle market private equity firm. He began his career in 2006 as an Analyst in Goldman Sachs’ Leveraged Finance group within the Investment Banking division. Mr. Nemirovsky is currently a director of SIGA Technologies serving on the audit committee and compensation committee. Mr. Nemirovsky holds a BBA from Baruch College and an MBA from the Tuck School of Business (Dartmouth).

The Board has affirmatively determined that Mr. Nemirovsky meets the applicable standards for an independent director under both the rules of the Nasdaq Capital Market and Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Mr. Nemirovsky will not be compensated by the Company for his services as a director and has not entered into an employment agreement with the Company.

In connection with this appointment, Mr. Nemirovsky has entered into an indemnity agreement, registration and shareholder rights agreement and a letter agreement with the Company on the same terms as the indemnity agreements, registration and shareholder rights agreement and letter agreement entered into at the time of the Company’s initial public offering.
