The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Dealer Manager, its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the 1933 Act), and the selling agents, officers and directors and each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act as follows: 

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included (A) in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or (B) in any Offering Materials, or the omission or alleged omission in the Prospectus or in any Offering Materials of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (other than statements or omissions made in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information);

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any arbitrator, court, governmental agency or body, regulatory body, administrative agency or other authority, body or agency having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective properties, assets or operations (“Governmental Authority”), commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 8(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Dealer Manager), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto)or in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Dealer Manager expressly for use therein. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the following information in the Prospectus: (i) the Dealer Manager’s name and address; (ii) the first sentence of the third paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution”; (iii) the fifth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution”; and (iv the first sentence of the sixth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” (collectively, the “Dealer Manager Information”). 

(b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. The Dealer Manager agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, and its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or in the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Dealer Manager Information. 

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Dealer Manager and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the prior written consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Authority, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 8 or Section 9 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 

(d) Settlement without Consent if Failure to Reimburse. If at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel, such indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of the nature contemplated by Section 7(a)(ii)

effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 75 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement at least 60 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 

SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (a) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Manager, on the other hand, from the Rights Offering or (b) if the allocation provided by clause (a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (b) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the Dealer Manager on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. 

The relative benefits received by the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Manager, on the other hand, in connection with the Rights Offering shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the Rights Offering (net of the fees of the Dealer Manager but before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total fees received by the Dealer Manager from the Rights Offering. 

The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Manager, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Dealer Manager and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 

The Company and the Dealer Manager agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 9 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, the Dealer Manager shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price paid for Shares purchased upon exercise of the Rights exceeds the amount of any damages which the Dealer Manager has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 

No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

For purposes of this Section 9, each person, if any, who controls the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Dealer Manager, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

SECTION 10. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of the subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto, shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or controlling person, or by or on behalf of the Company, and shall survive distribution of the Rights and delivery of and payment for the Shares.

SECTION 11. Termination of Agreement. 

(a) Termination. The Dealer Manager may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Expiration Date (i) if any conditions specified in Section 4 or Section 6 are not fulfilled, (ii) if there is a good faith disagreement between the Company the Dealer Manager with respect to a material term or condition of the Rights Offering, (iii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Dealer Manager, impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Rights Offering or the sale of the Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus, (iv) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or NYSE American, (v) if trading generally on the NYSE, NYSE American or the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other Governmental Authority, (vi) if a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States or with respect to the systems of Clearstream Banking, S.A., or Euroclear Bank, SA/NV, in Europe, or (vii) if a banking moratorium has been declared by either Federal or New York authorities. 

In addition, this Agreement may be terminated by the Company with the consent of the Dealer Manager (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) if, in the judgment of the Company (upon consultation with the Dealer Manager), it is inadvisable to proceed with the Rights Offering. 

(b) Termination of Backstop Agreement. If the Backstop Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the Expiration Time, the Dealer Manager shall be entitled, at its sole option, to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by written notice to that effect given to the Company at any time prior to the Expiration Time.

(c) Liabilities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed and delivered this agreement as of the date first set forth above.

NEW YORK, NY, SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 – Seaport Entertainment Group Inc. (NYSE American: SEG) (the “Seaport Entertainment Group,” “SEG” or “Company”) announced today that it has commenced its previously announced $175.0 million rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to purchase up to 7,000,000 shares of its common stock.

The Rights Offering gives Company stockholders as of the Record Date (as defined below) the opportunity to subscribe for their basic subscription amount of newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock in proportion to their respective existing ownership amounts as of the Record Date. Company stockholders who exercise their respective full basic subscription rights will have an over-subscription privilege giving such Company stockholders the option to subscribe for any shares of common stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering, subject to certain ownership limitations. If the aggregate subscriptions (basic subscriptions plus over-subscriptions) exceed the amount offered in the Rights Offering, then the aggregate over-subscription amount will be pro-rated among the Company stockholders exercising their respective over-subscription privileges based on the basic subscription amounts of such stockholders.

The Company is distributing to each holder of the Company’s common stock as of 5:00 PM, New York time, on September 20, 2024 (the “Record Date”), transferable subscription rights (the “Rights”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at a subscription price of $25.00 per share. Each Record Date stockholder will be issued one Right for each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock owned on the Record Date. Each Right will entitle the holder to purchase 1.267683 shares of common stock. The Company will not issue fractional shares of common stock. Any fractional shares of common stock that would be created by the exercise of Rights will be rounded down to the nearest whole share, and any excess payments in respect thereof will be returned.

The Rights Offering is being backstopped by investment funds advised by Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”). Pershing Square has agreed to (i) exercise its pro rata subscription Right with respect to the Rights Offering and (ii) purchase from the Company, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at the Rights Offering subscription price of $25.00 per share, any shares of the Company’s common stock not purchased upon the expiration of the Rights Offering, up to $175.0 million in the aggregate, such that the aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of the Rights Offering would be $175.0 million.

The Rights Offering will expire at 5:00 PM, New York time, on October 10, 2024, unless extend by the Company. Regular way trading in the Rights on NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) will begin on September 24, 2024 under the symbol “SEG RT” and continue until the close of trading on NYSE American on October 9, 2024 (or, if the offer is extended, on the business day immediately prior to the extended expiration date).

The Company reserves the right to amend or terminate the Rights Offering at any time prior to its expiration date.

The shares of common stock to be issued upon exercise of the rights, like the Company's existing shares of common stock, will be listed for trading on the NYSE American under the symbol “SEG.”

The Company expects that the information agent for the Rights Offering will mail subscription rights certificates and a copy of the prospectus for the Rights Offering to stockholders as of the Record Date beginning on or about September 24, 2024. Holders of shares of common stock in “street name” through a brokerage account, bank or other nominee will not receive physical subscription rights certificates and must instruct their broker, bank or nominee whether to exercise subscription rights on their behalf. For any questions or further information about the Rights Offering, please call Georgeson LLC, the information agent for the rights offering, at (866) 410-6525.

Neither the Company nor its Board of Directors has, or will, make any recommendation to stockholders regarding the exercise or sale of Rights in the Rights Offering. Stockholders should make an independent investment decision about whether or not to exercise or sell their Rights based on their own assessment of the Company’s business and the Rights Offering

The Company expects to use the proceeds from the Rights Offering for general operating, working capital and other corporate purposes.
