The business address of each member of the Reporting Persons is 434 Surfview Drive, Pacific Palisades, California 90272. The Trust was formed by the Trustees in 2008 in order to engage in the acquiring, holding and disposing of investments for family estate planning purposes. Philip Barach is president and co-manager of Vista Investment Group, a privately-held real estate investment firm, and is a Trustee of the Trust. Daniele Barach is not currently employed and is a Trustee of the Trust. Accordingly, pursuant to the regulations promulgated under Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Trust and each Trustee each may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the Class A Common Stock held for the account of the Trust. None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors). None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding were or are subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws The Trust is a trust formed under the laws of California. Each Trustee is a United States citizen. On December 19, 2025, Celularity Inc. (the "Company") and the Trust engaged in two financing transactions (collectively, the "Financing") pursuant to which the Company issued to the Trust a senior secured promissory note in the principal amount of $7,000,000 (the "Senior Note") and a convertible secured promissory note in the aggregate principal amount of $3,000,000 (the "Convertible Note" and, together with the Senior Note, the "Notes") and, in connection with the issuance of the Notes, issued to the Trust five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,707,457 shares of Class A Common Stock which are exercisable beginning on June 19, 2026 and have an exercise price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth therein. Pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement dated as of December 19, 2025 by and between the Company and the Trust under the terms of which the Company issued the Convertible Note to the Trust (the "Convertible Note Purchase Agreement"), the Trust also has the right to purchase additional convertible notes in up to two tranches of $1,000,000 each, containing terms identical to and issuable upon the same terms and conditions as the Convertible Note (each, an "Additional Convertible Note" and, together with the Convertible Note, the "Convertible Notes"). All of the Convertible Notes are or will be convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.66 per share, subject to adjustment as provided therein. The number of shares of Class A Common Stock reported as beneficially owned herein represents the number of shares issuable at the conversion price of $1.66 per share, assuming the issuance of the additional convertible notes in two tranches of $1,000,000 each at the election of the Trust, which would result in the Trust owning an aggregate amount of Convertible Notes of $5,000,000 convertible into 3,012,048 shares of Class A Common Stock. The source of funds for the Trust to purchase the Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 was cash held by the Trust at the time of the Financing.

Pursuant to the Senior Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company may sell up to an aggregate of $8,400,000 in principal amount of Senior Notes before June 19, 2026 to the Trust and one or more Participation Purchasers (as defined in the Senior Securities Purchase Agreement and, together with the Trust, the "Senior Note Purchasers"). The Senior Note accrues interest at a rate of 4% per annum (increasing to 12% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Senior Note)) and matures upon the earlier of (i) April 30, 2026 and (ii) the consummation by the Company a debt or equity financing, asset sale, licensing agreement or similar strategic transaction resulting in gross proceeds equal to or greater than the then-outstanding principal amount of the Senior Notes. Prior to the maturity date of the Senior Note, the Company may, at its election, redeem the principal amount of the Senior Note together with interest accrued therein for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Senior Note). The Senior Note ranks pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to any other Senior Notes and Convertible Notes. The Senior Note Warrant is exercisable commencing on June 19, 2026 and terminates on December 19, 2030. The Senior Note Warrant is exercisable for shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment set forth therein. Pursuant to the Senior Securities Purchase Agreement, until such date that no Senior Notes are outstanding, if the Company enters into any public or private offering of its securities (including securities convertible into shares of its Class A Common Stock) with any individual or entity (an "Other Investor") that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such Other Investor in a manner more favorable to such Other Investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Senior Note Purchasers, at each Senior Note Purchaser's option, such more favorable terms shall become a part of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Senior Securities Purchase Agreement). Furthermore, if the Company conducts a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Senior Securities Purchase Agreement), the Senior Note Purchasers shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to their respective subscription amounts on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. In connection with the issuance of the Senior Note, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into a security agreement (the "Senior Note Security Agreement") with the Agent (as defined in the Senior Note Security Agreement) and Secured Party (as defined in the Senior Note Security Agreement) pursuant to which the Company granted the Trust a first-priority security interest over substantially all of the assets of the Company, subject to certain customary exclusions and priority agreements. Convertible Notes Financing On the Effective Date, the Company also entered into the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement with the Trust pursuant to which the Company issued to the Trust the Convertible Note in the principal amount of $3,000,000 and a warrant to purchase up to 1,258,740 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock (the "Convertible Note Warrant"). Pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the Trust may purchase up to an aggregate of $2,000,000 of Additional Convertible Notes, which right shall expire upon the earlier of (i) six months following the Effective Date and (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note). Pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, the Company may sell up to an aggregate of $6,200,000 in principal amount of Convertible Notes before June 19, 2026 to the Trust and one or more Participation Purchasers (as defined in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement and, together with the Trust, the "Convertible Note Purchasers"). The Convertible Note accrues interest at 8% per annum (increasing to 12% per annum upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Note)), payable in kind, and matures on December 31, 2026. Any additional Convertible Notes issued pursuant to Convertible Note Purchase Agreement shall mature on such date that is one year from the date such notes are issued. The Convertible Note is convertible at the option of the holder into shares of Class A Common Stock at a conversion price of $1.66 per share, subject to adjustment and limitations set forth therein (the "Conversion Price"). Upon the consummation of a Qualified Financing (as defined in the Convertible Note), the Company may elect to convert up to 100% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note together with interest accrued thereon into such number of shares of the Company's Class A common stock as is determined by dividing (i) 100% of the then outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Note together with interest accrued thereon by (ii) the lowest price per share used in the Qualified Financing at which shares of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement) are sold. Prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes, the Company may, at its election, redeem the principal amount of the Convertible Notes together with interest accrued therein for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Convertible Note). Pursuant to the Convertible Note, if the Company issues additional shares of Class A Common Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price, then the Conversion Price shall be reduced as set forth in the Convertible Note, subject to customary exceptions. The Convertible Note ranks pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to any other Senior Notes and Convertible Notes. The Convertible Note Warrant is exercisable commencing on June 19, 2026 and terminates on December 19, 2030. The Convertible Note Warrant is exercisable for shares of the Company's Class A common stock at a price of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment set forth therein. Pursuant to the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement, until such date that no Convertible Notes are outstanding, if the Company enters into any public or private offering of its securities (including securities convertible into shares of its Class A Common Stock) with any Other Investor that has the effect of establishing rights or otherwise benefiting such Other Investor in a manner more favorable to such Other Investor than the rights and benefits established in favor of the Convertible Note Purchasers, at each Convertible Note Purchaser's option, such more favorable terms shall become a part of the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement). Furthermore, if the Company conducts a Subsequent Financing (as defined in the Convertible Note Purchase Agreement), the Convertible Note Purchasers shall have the right to participate in up to an amount of the Subsequent Financing equal to their respective subscription amounts on the same terms, conditions and price provided for in the Subsequent Financing. In connection with the Convertible Note Financing, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into a security agreement (the "Convertible Note Security Agreement") with the Agent (as defined in the Convertible Note Security Agreement) and Secured Party (as defined in the Convertible Note Security Agreement) pursuant to which the Company granted the Trust a first-priority security interest over certain of the proceeds from a Qualified Financing. Registration Rights Agreement In connection with the Financing, on the Effective Date, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Trust pursuant to which the Company shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC" or the "Commission") a registration statement covering the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) on or prior to the date that is 45 calendar days following the Effective Date. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the registration statement covering the Registrable Securities to be declared effective as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof, but in any event no later the 90th calendar day following the Effective Date (or in the event of a full review by the SEC, the 120th calendar day following the Effective Date).
