Pagaya Technologies Ltd. to Participate in J.P. Morgan 50th Annual Global TMC Conference on May 24, 2022

Announces Effectiveness of Registration Statement and Special Meeting Date of EJF Acquisition Corp. for Proposed Business Combination

Pagaya Technologies Ltd. (“Pagaya”), a global technology company building artificial intelligence infrastructure for the financial ecosystem, announced today that Gal Krubiner, Co-Founder and CEO, will be participating in the J.P. Morgan 50th Annual Global TMC Conference at the Westin Boston Seaport District in Boston, MA. The fireside chat will take place on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, and is scheduled to begin at approximately 4:50 pm ET. It will be available via live webcast and archived replay on Pagaya’s investor relations website at https://pagaya.com/investor-relations.

Pagaya also announced that the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has declared effective Pagaya’s registration statement on Form F-4 (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) which includes a definitive proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with Pagaya’s previously announced proposed business combination (the “Business Combination”) with EJF Acquisition Corp. (“EJFA”) (NASDAQ: EJFAU, EJFA, EJFAW), a publicly traded special purpose acquisition company. EJFA’s extraordinary general meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) to approve the Business Combination and related proposals is scheduled to be held on or about June 15, 2022, or such other date to which such meeting may be adjourned or postponed.

At the Special Meeting, EJFA’s shareholders will be asked to approve the Business Combination and other such proposals as disclosed in the Proxy Statement relating to the Business Combination. Holders of EJFA Class A ordinary shares and Class B ordinary shares at the close of business on the record date of May 17, 2022 are entitled to notice of the Special Meeting and to vote at the Special Meeting. Pursuant to a voting agreement, EJFA’s sponsor and directors and advisors of EJFA holding EJFA ordinary shares have agreed to vote their shares at the Special Meeting in favor of the approval of the Business Combination and related proposals.

The closing of the Business Combination is subject to approval by EJFA’s shareholders and the satisfaction or waiver (as applicable) of other customary closing conditions. As a result of PIPE commitments, EJFA expects to satisfy the condition that there is a minimum of $200 million in cash available to Pagaya at the time of the closing of the Business Combination, regardless of the amount of redemptions of EJFA shares in connection with the Business Combination. The Business Combination is expected to close promptly after the Special Meeting. Upon the closing of the Business Combination, Pagaya will be a publicly listed company and Pagaya’s Class A ordinary shares and warrants are expected to be listed on The Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbols “PGY” and “PGYWW”, respectively.

More information about voting and attending the Special Meeting will be included in the definitive Proxy Statement to be filed by EJFA with the SEC, which will be available on the SEC's website at http://www.sec.gov. EJFA encourages shareholders to read the Proxy Statement carefully. The deadline for EJFA's public shareholders to exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination is June 13, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time. If you have any questions or need assistance voting your shares, please contact EJFA’s proxy solicitor, Morrow Sodali (“Morrow”), at (800) 662-5200, or banks and brokers can call collect at (203) 658-9400, or by emailing EJFA.info@investor.morrowsodali.com.
