TABLE OF CONTENTS
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
The board of directors of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) currently consists of nine directors. Our Articles of Association provide that our Board may consist of not less than three and up to ten directors.
Under our Articles of Association, until 2024 our directors were divided into three classes, with each class elected to hold office for a term of three years. At the 2024 annual general meeting of our shareholders, the phasing out of the Board classification was approved, such that (i) at the 2024 annual general meeting of our shareholders, each of the directors in Class II was elected to hold office for a term of two years, which expires at the time of the Annual Meeting; (ii) at the 2025 annual general meeting of our shareholders, each of the directors up for election was elected to hold office for a term of one year, which expires at the time of the Annual Meeting, and (iii) beginning with the Annual Meeting, our Board will no longer be divided into classes and all directors up for election will be elected to hold office for a term of one year, except in the event of a director’s earlier death, resignation, removal or other termination. All of our current directors are serving a term that expires at the Annual Meeting and are standing for reelection to the Board. In addition, Jason Gardner is standing for election to the Board as a new nominee.
Except as indicated herein, there are no arrangements or understandings between any director and any other person pursuant to which such director was selected as director.
Upon recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee”), our Board nominated each of Gal Krubiner, Avital Pardo, Yahav Yulzari, Avi Zeevi, Alison Davis, Harvey Golub, Asheet Mehta, Dan Petrozzo, and Tami Rosen for reelection at the Annual Meeting, and nominated Jason Gardner for election at the Annual Meeting, to serve until the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their office is vacated in accordance with our Articles of Association or the Israel Companies Law. Each director nominee has consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected, and has certified to us that he or she meets all the requirements of the Israel Companies Law to serve as a director of the Company, has the qualifications and time required for the performance of his or her duties as a director, taking into account the size and particular needs of Pagaya, and that there are no legal restrictions preventing him or her from assuming such office.
Avi Zeevi, Alison Davis, Jason Gardner, Harvey Golub, Asheet Mehta, and Dan Petrozzo each qualify as an independent director under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules. Gal Krubiner, Avital Pardo, Yahav Yulzari, and Tami Rosen are members of the Company’s management team and thus do not qualify as independent directors under the applicable Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules. Avi Zeevi, Alison Davis, Harvey Golub, and Dan Petrozzo are currently members of the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board (the “Audit and Finance Committee”). Harvey Golub, Asheet Mehta, Dan Petrozzo, and Tami Rosen are currently members of the Risk Committee of the Board (the “Risk Committee”).

Independent directors meet at regular executive sessions without management present. During fiscal year 2025, the Board held six meetings and conducted certain business by unanimous consent. During the period in 2025 in which he or she served as a director, each of our directors attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board.
Annual Meeting Attendance
We do not maintain a formal policy regarding director attendance at the Annual Meeting; however, all directors are encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting. Four of our then incumbent directors attended our annual general meeting of shareholders held in 2025.
Board Leadership Structure
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for the continuing review of the governance structure of the Board, and for recommending to the Board those structures and practices best suited to the Company and its shareholders. Our Board is currently led by our independent Chairman, Avi Zeevi, and Gal Krubiner serves as our Chief Executive Officer. Our Chief Executive Officer is responsible for day-to-day leadership and for setting the strategic direction of the Company, while the Chairman oversees the functioning of the Board and its oversight responsibilities. The Board believes the current leadership structure is appropriate and ensures robust, independent oversight of the Company by our Board and our independent Chairman. Our Board will continue to periodically review its leadership structure and may make such changes in the future as it deems appropriate in light of the dynamic and competitive environment in which we operate and as circumstances may change.
The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight
The Board is responsible for overseeing management’s execution of risk oversight and for assessing the Company’s approach to risk management. The Board exercises its responsibilities in Board meetings and through the Board’s four standing committees, each of which examines various components of both enterprise and emerging risks inherent in their respective areas of oversight. Risk assessment is integral to the Board’s strategic planning and in the analysis of transactions and other matters presented to the Board, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, divestitures and other portfolio actions, and operational and financial matters. On a committee level, the Board’s Compensation Committee assesses and monitors whether any of our compensation policies and programs have the potential to encourage excessive risk taking. The Risk Committee (i) assesses and provides oversight to management relating to the identification and assessment of material risks facing the Company, including strategic, operational, regulatory, information and external risks inherent in the business of the Company, and the control processes, strategies and policies with respect to such risks, and (ii) reviews and oversees the risk management activities of the Company, including, without limitation, the development and execution by management of strategies to mitigate risks. We believe the current Board leadership structure helps ensure the Board’s independent oversight of risk management.
Committees of the Company’s Board
The Company’s Board has the following standing committees: the Audit and Finance Committee; the Compensation Committee; the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee; and the Risk Committee. In 2025, there were ten Audit and Finance Committee meetings, three Compensation Committee meetings, two Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meetings and four Risk Committee meetings. During the period in which he or she served as a committee member in 2025, each of our committee members attended at least 75% of the meetings of each Board committee of which they were members.
Audit and Finance Committee

The Audit and Finance Committee is responsible, among its other duties and responsibilities, for overseeing the Company’s accounting and financial reporting processes, audits of financial statements, qualifications and independence of the independent registered public accounting firm, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and the performance of the internal audit function and independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit and Finance Committee reviews and assesses the qualitative aspects of the Company’s financial reporting, processes to manage business and financial risks and compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements. The Audit and Finance Committee is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm.
In accordance with the Israel Companies Law, the Audit and Finance Committee is responsible for identifying irregularities in our business administration, including by consulting with the Internal Auditor as described below or with our independent registered public accounting firm, and suggesting corrective measures to the Board; and reviewing policies and procedures with respect to transactions (other than transactions related to compensation or terms of services) between the Company and its officers and directors, affiliates of officers or directors, or transactions that are not in the ordinary course of the Company’s business and deciding whether to approve such acts and transactions if so required under the Israel Companies Law. Consistent with the requirement under the Israel Companies Law that the board of directors of a public company must appoint an Internal Auditor, the Audit and Finance Committee is also responsible for the retention and termination of the Internal Auditor, as well as approving the Internal Auditor’s engagement fees and the yearly or periodic work plan proposed by the Internal Auditor.
The role of the Internal Auditor is, among other things, to review the Company’s compliance with applicable law and proper business procedure. Under the Israel Companies Law, the Internal Auditor must meet specific standards of independence from the Company’s 5% shareholders and officers (and their relatives) and from the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Our Internal Auditor is Mr. Nir Zauberer, a partner at Deloitte Israel.
Under the Nasdaq listing standards, all members of the Audit and Finance Committee must satisfy the independence requirements of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Board has determined that each member of the Audit and Finance Committee is “independent” as defined under the Nasdaq listing standards and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act.
The members of the Audit and Finance Committee are Avi Zeevi, Alison Davis, Harvey Golub, and Dan Petrozzo, with Avi Zeevi serving as Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee. All members of the Audit and Finance Committee are financially literate as required by the Nasdaq listing standards. The Board has determined that each of Avi Zeevi and Alison Davis is financially sophisticated and qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC regulations. In making this determination, the Board considered Mr. Zeevi’s and Ms. Davis’s formal education and previous and current experience in financial and accounting roles.

In accordance with the Israel Companies Law, the responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are, among others, as follows: making recommendations to the Board with respect to the approval of the Company’s Compensation Policy and with respect to any extensions thereof; reviewing the implementation of the Compensation Policy and periodically making recommendations to the Board with respect to any amendments or updates to the Compensation Policy; and resolving whether to approve arrangements with respect to the terms of office and employment of officers (which under the Israel Companies Law requires the approval of the Board and, in certain cases, the Company’s shareholders).
The Board has determined that each member of the Compensation Committee is independent as defined under applicable SEC rules and the Nasdaq listing standards.
The members of the Compensation Committee are Avi Zeevi and Dan Petrozzo, with Avi Zeevi serving as chair of the Compensation Committee. The charter of the Compensation Committee is available without charge at: https://investor.pagaya.com.

The members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are Avi Zeevi and Harvey Golub, with Avi Zeevi serving as chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
Major Shareholders
The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of Pagaya’s voting securities as of June 15, 2026, by:
●each person known by Pagaya to beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding shares of Pagaya;
●each of Pagaya’s directors and named executive officers; and
●all of Pagaya’s current executive officers and directors as a group.
Unless otherwise indicated, Pagaya believes that all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them. Except as otherwise noted herein, the number and percentage of the Ordinary Shares (as defined below) beneficially owned is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under such rule, a person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of a security if that person has sole or shared voting power, which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of the security, or investment power, which includes the power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of the security. In determining beneficial ownership percentages, Pagaya deems Class A ordinary shares, no par value (“Class A Ordinary Shares”), and Class B ordinary shares, no par value (the “Class B Ordinary Shares” and, collectively with the Class A Ordinary Shares, the “Ordinary Shares”) that a shareholder has the right to acquire, including the Ordinary Shares issuable pursuant to options that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of June 15, 2026, if any, and any restricted stock units vesting within 60 days of June 15, 2026, if any, to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person with such right to acquire additional Ordinary Shares for the purposes of computing the percentage ownership of that person (including in the total when calculating the applicable beneficial owner’s percentage of ownership), but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Unless otherwise stated, the address of each named executive officer and director is c/o Pagaya Technologies Ltd., 335 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10017.
The calculation of the percentage of beneficial ownership is based on 2,027,147 outstanding Series A Preferred Shares, 71,635,856 outstanding Class A Ordinary Shares, and 11,288,577 outstanding Class B Ordinary Shares, as of June 15, 2026.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Approval of Related Party Transactions
The Israeli Companies Law requires that an “office holder” (as defined in the Israel Companies Law) of a company promptly disclose any personal interest that he or she may have and all related material information known to him or her, in connection with any existing or proposed transaction of the company. Each of our directors and executive officers is an “office holder” under the Israel Companies Law and Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy. Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy also applies to any director nominees, any holders of 5% or more of Pagaya’s outstanding share capital or voting rights (“5% Holders” and collectively with Pagaya’s office holders and director nominees, the “Covered Persons”) and with respect to transactions in which a Covered Person has a direct or indirect personal interest, including a personal interest of a relative of such Covered Person and a personal interest of an entity in which such Covered Person or a relative of such Covered Person is an interested party (as defined in the Israeli Companies Law).
Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law and Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy, the Audit and Finance Committee shall determine whether any transaction with a Covered Person in which the Covered Person has a personal interest (other than, with respect to a Covered Person who is an office holder, such office holder’s terms of office and employment) is an “extraordinary transaction” (defined as a transaction not in the ordinary course of business, not on market terms or likely to have a material impact on the company’s profitability, assets or liabilities).
Pursuant to the Israel Companies Law, the Articles of Association and Pagaya’s Related Person Transactions Policy, in the event that the Audit and Finance Committee determines that the transaction is an extraordinary transaction, Audit and Finance Committee and Board approval are required and, in some circumstances, shareholder approval may also be required; if however, it is determined that the transaction is not an extraordinary transaction, the transaction will not require Board or shareholder approval. A Related Person Transaction may only be approved if it is determined to be in the best interests of Pagaya. The Company should normally not commit to a Related Person Transaction for a term of more than three years without the right to review and re-negotiate its terms and provisions at least once every three years.
A person with a personal interest in the matter generally may not be present at meetings of the Board or certain committees where the matter is being considered and, if a member of the Board or a committee, may generally not vote on the matter.
We have determined there are no transactions required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the business combination with EJF Acquisition Corp (the “EJFA Merger”), each of Pagaya, Wilson Boulevard LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and certain Pagaya shareholders as of immediately prior to the EJFA Merger entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which Pagaya agreed to file a registration statement, by no later than 30 days following the date of the closing of the EJFA Merger, to register the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement). The Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Pagaya shareholder parties thereto with a demand right for Pagaya to conduct an underwritten offering of the Registrable Securities, provided that the total offering price of all securities proposed to be sold in such offering exceeds $75 million in the aggregate and subject to certain limitations. The Registration Rights Agreement further provides customary registration rights to the Pagaya shareholder parties thereto (including demand rights and piggy-back rights, subject to cooperation and cut-back provisions) with respect to Class A Ordinary Shares, any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of Warrants and any other equity security of Pagaya issued or issuable with respect to any such Class A Ordinary Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement terminates on the earliest of (a) the tenth anniversary of the date of the Registration Rights Agreement, (b) any acquisition of Pagaya after the EJFA Merger, as a result of which the Registrable Securities are converted into the right to receive consideration consisting solely of cash or other property other than securities listed on a national securities exchange registered under Section 6 of the Exchange Act or (c) with respect to any Pagaya shareholder party to the Registration Rights Agreement, on the date that such Pagaya shareholder no longer holds any Registrable Securities. For more information on the Registration Rights Agreement, see the Registration Rights Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 4.5 to the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2026.

wholly owned by the Company and (ii) in which the Company has an interest in that entity because it is managed by the Company’s office holders are considered related party transactions, and therefore require approval by the Board, as well as a determination by the Audit and Finance Committee that the transactions are not “extraordinary.” The Board approved the Company entering into such transactions for a period of 12 months so long as they are within the ordinary course of business and remain under certain individual and aggregate monetary thresholds. Covered transactions include loans to the Company’s subsidiaries (including entities affiliated with Pagaya investment funds), as well as a recourse guaranty or pledge of assets to a third party for the benefit of a subsidiary. The initial Board approval on November 10, 2022 has been renewed for successive years and was last approved by the Board and the Audit and Finance Committee for an additional twelve months in November 2025.

AUDIT AND FINANCE COMMITTEE REPORT
On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Company, the Audit and Finance Committee oversees the operation of the Company’s system of internal controls in respect of the integrity of its financial statements and reports, compliance with laws, regulations and corporate policies, and the qualifications, performance and independence of its independent registered public accounting firm. Management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting process, and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for auditing those financial statements.
Consistent with its oversight responsibility, the Audit and Finance Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and its independent registered public accounting firm the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, and the results of management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
The Audit and Finance Committee has also discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed under applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) rules, including the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm also provided to the Audit and Finance Committee the written disclosures and letters regarding their independence required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communications with the Audit and Finance Committee concerning independence. The Audit and Finance Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm their independence from the Company and its management and considered whether the non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company are compatible with maintaining the firm’s independence.
The Audit and Finance Committee discussed with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for its audit. The Audit and Finance Committee met with the independent registered public accounting firm to discuss the results of its examinations and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting.
Based on the Audit and Finance Committee’s review of the audited financial statements and the review and discussions described in the foregoing paragraph, the Audit and Finance Committee recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, be included in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2026 and Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2026. The Audit and Finance Committee has selected Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and has asked the shareholders to approve the reappointment.

PROPOSAL 3: APPROVAL, ON AN ADVISORY (NON-BINDING) BASIS, OF THE 2025 COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Background
As required under Section 14A of the Exchange Act and the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”), we are seeking, on a non-binding advisory basis, shareholder approval of the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related executive compensation tables incorporated by reference to Part III, Item 11. “Executive Compensation” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our named executive officers.
Our executive compensation program is designed with the intention of (i) attracting, motivating and retaining highly qualified executive officers in a competitive market, (ii) providing compensation to our executives that is competitive and rewarding the achievement of challenging business objectives; and (iii) aligning our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders by providing a significant portion of total compensation in the form of equity awards. Our Board of Directors believes that our current executive compensation program must be regularly reviewed and revised as necessary to ensure alignment of our executive officers’ interests with those of our shareholders. The Compensation Committee takes into consideration the recommendations of the Company’s senior management when assessing the amount or form of executive and director compensation. Shareholders are referred to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related executive compensation tables incorporated by reference to Part III, Item 11. “Executive Compensation” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026, which further discusses the material terms of our executive compensation and contains tabular information and narrative discussion about the compensation of our named executive officers. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors believe that our executive compensation program is designed appropriately, that the terms of our executive compensation program are effective in implementing our compensation philosophy and in achieving our goals, and that our executive compensation program ensures that management’s interests are aligned with our shareholders’ interests to support long-term shareholder value creation.
As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding. Neither the outcome of this advisory vote nor of the advisory vote included in this proposal overrules any decision by the Company or our Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), creates or implies any change to the fiduciary duties of the Company or our Board of Directors (or any committee thereof), or creates or implies any additional fiduciary duties for the Company or our Board of Directors (or any committee thereof). However, our Board and Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, value the opinions expressed by shareholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.
Proposed Resolution
You are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“3. RESOLVED, that the shareholders of Pagaya Technologies Ltd. approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, the Named Executive Officers’ compensation as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and related executive compensation tables incorporated by reference to Part III, Item 11. “Executive Compensation” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026.”
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt the foregoing resolution. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on this proposal. The Say-on-Pay Vote is not binding on us, the Board or the Compensation Committee.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADVISORY APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AS DISCLOSED HEREIN.

PROPOSAL 4: APPROVAL OF THE 2026 BONUS CALCULATION FRAMEWORK FOR OUR MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS
Background
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders are being asked to approve the below framework for calculating 2026 cash bonuses for our Chief Executive Officer and Deputy Chief Executive Officers (collectively, our “Management Directors”). In particular, the Board of Directors proposes that the Company performance portion of the short term incentive framework for the Management Directors shall be based on four key performance indicators that the Company uses to measure its overall performance: Total Revenue and Other Income, Network Volume, GAAP Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA. Each of these metrics is described in the Company’s SEC filings. The Board further proposes that the individual performance portion of the short term incentive framework for the Management Directors shall be based on an assessment of each individual executive’s performance. The final short term incentive payable to each executive shall be subject to adjustment by the Compensation Committee and the Board. The Compensation Committee sets the targets for each of the four key performance indicators.
In calculating the bonuses for our Management Directors in 2026, the Board recommends that the ultimate payouts be adjusted by an overall Company performance multiplier, which shall be determined utilizing a formula that assigns Total Revenue and Other Income a weighting of 15%, Network Volume a weighting of 20%, GAAP Net Income a weighting of 50%, and Adjusted EBITDA a weighting of 15%, with each metric reflecting funding levels varying from 0% to 300%, depending on the Company’s performance with respect to such metric. In no event will the overall Company performance multiplier exceed 300%. Half of a participant’s target bonus will be adjusted by the overall Company performance multiplier. The Board also recommends that the ultimate payouts be further adjusted by an individual performance multiplier based on an assessment of each individual executive’s performance during the year to reflect funding levels varying from 0% to 300%. In no event will the individual performance multiplier exceed 300%. The other half of a participant’s target bonus will be adjusted by the individual performance multiplier. The Board also recommends that the Compensation Committee and the Board be granted discretion to finally adjust any payouts after applying the Company performance and individual performance multipliers, subject to the maximum annual cash bonus permitted by the Company’s Compensation Policy, which is 300% of the participant’s then-current annual base salary. In addition to the above formulaic bonus, the Board recommends that the Compensation Committee and the Board be granted the authority, in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy, to award (i) our Chief Executive Officer, if so recommended by the Compensation Committee, a discretionary bonus of up to 25% of his annual base salary, and (ii) each of our other Management Directors, if so recommended by the Compensation Committee, a discretionary bonus of up to 25% of his or her annual base salary.
The proposed framework for the cash bonuses of our Management Directors was approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board, after considering the factors specified in our Compensation Policy, including each of our Management Directors’ performance and contributions to the Company. The terms also reflect each of our Management Directors’ experience, a comprehensive compensation survey, and the terms of our Compensation Policy. Our Compensation Committee and Board approved the framework described above as they believe that, together with the current terms of each of our Management Directors’ compensation, it serves as an appropriate long-term retention and performance incentive, and advances the objectives of the Company, its work plan and its long-term strategy.
Proposed Resolution
You are requested to adopt the following resolutions:
“4.a. RESOLVED, to approve the 2026 bonus calculation framework for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, as set forth in Proposal No. 4 of the Proxy Statement dated , 2026; and
4.b. RESOLVED, to approve the 2026 bonus calculation framework for the Company’s Management Directors other than its Chief Executive Officer, as set forth in Proposal No. 4 of the Proxy Statement dated , 2026.”
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt each of the foregoing resolutions. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals.
23
In addition to an Ordinary Majority, each of the foregoing resolutions also requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority, meaning that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company.
The term “controlling shareholder” means a shareholder having the ability to direct the activities of a company, other than by virtue of being an office holder. A shareholder is presumed to be a controlling shareholder if the shareholder holds 50% or more of the voting rights in a company or has the right to appoint the majority of the directors of the company or its general manager.
Under the Companies Law, a “personal interest” of a shareholder (i) includes a personal interest of the shareholder and any member of the shareholder’s family, family members of the shareholder’s spouse, or a spouse of any of such family members, or a personal interest of a company with respect to which the shareholder (or such family member) serves as a director or chief executive officer, owns at least 5% of the shares or has the right to appoint a director or chief executive officer, and (ii) excludes an interest arising solely from the ownership of our Ordinary Shares. Under the Israel Companies Law, in the case of a person voting by proxy for another person, “personal interest” includes a personal interest of either the proxy holder or the shareholder granting the proxy, whether or not the proxy holder has discretion how to vote. If you do not have a personal interest in this matter, you may assume that voting as instructed on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card you received in the mail will not create a personal interest. To avoid confusion, in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and the proxy card your received in the mail, we refer to such a personal interest as a “personal benefit or other interest.”
Under the Israel Companies Law, every voting shareholder is required to notify the Company whether such shareholder is a “controlling shareholder” or has a “personal interest.” To avoid confusion, every shareholder voting as instructed on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card you received in the mail will be deemed to confirm to us that such shareholder is NOT a controlling shareholder and does not have a personal interest. If you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest (in which case your vote will count only for or against the Ordinary Majority, and not for or against the Special Majority), please notify the Company’s Chief Legal Officer at 335 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10017 or by email to PagayaProxies@pagaya.com. If your shares are held in “street name” by your broker, bank or other nominee and you are a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest, you should notify your broker, bank or other nominee of that status, and they in turn should notify the Company as described in the preceding sentence.
If you are unable to make this confirmation, please contact the Company’s Legal Department for guidance at CorporateSecretary@pagaya.com; if you hold your shares in “street name,” you may also contact the representative managing your account, who could contact us on your behalf.
Board Recommendation
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE ADOPTION OF THE FOREGOING RESOLUTIONS TO APPROVE THE 2026 BONUS CALCULATION FRAMEWORK FOR THE MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS.

PROPOSAL 5: RATIFICATION OF PRIOR COMPENSATION ACTIONS FOR OUR MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS
Background
Our founders serve on the Board of Directors and are also executive officers of the Company. Currently, Gal Krubiner serves as our Chief Executive Officer, and Avital Pardo and Yahav Yulzari serve as our Deputy Chief Executive Officers. In addition, Tami Rosen serves on the Board of Directors and is currently the Company’s Chief Development Officer (Ms. Rosen will transition to a consulting role effective August 1, 2026). Under the Israel Companies Law, the compensation of a director in any capacity requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and the Company’s shareholders, in that order. We are seeking shareholder ratification for the following compensation actions, which the Compensation Committee and the Board previously approved.
Equity Awards for Founder Directors
The Compensation Committee and the Board approved a grant of 185,000 restricted stock units to each of Mr. Krubiner, Mr. Pardo, and Mr. Yulzari in March 2026. Each of these grants vests in two equal annual installments over two years from March 25, 2026. The Compensation Committee and the Board determined that these grants were necessary to promote retention and motivation, incentivize superior individual excellence, provide a market-standard compensation package for our executives, and align the interests of our executive officers with our long-term performance.
Equity Award for Other Management Director
The Compensation Committee and the Board approved a grant of 125,000 restricted stock units to Ms. Rosen in March 2025. This grant vests in eight equal quarterly installments over two years from March 12, 2025. The Compensation Committee and the Board determined that this grant was necessary to promote retention and motivation, incentivize superior individual excellence, provide a market-standard compensation package for our executives, and align the interests of our executive officers with our long-term performance.
Bonus
In November 2024, we entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Tami Rosen, which is described in more detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis incorporated by reference to Part III, Item 11. “Executive Compensation” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026. The principal substantive change from Ms. Rosen’s prior employment agreement relates to bonuses. Under the amended and restated agreement, Ms. Rosen was entitled to a guaranteed bonus of $600,000 in 2024. Both the Compensation Committee and the Board determined that this amendment was necessary to promote retention and motivation and incentivize superior individual excellence.
Consulting Arrangement
In January 2026, the Company and Ms. Rosen signed agreements related to Ms. Rosen’s transition to provide consulting services for the Company, effective August 1, 2026 (when she will cease her role as Chief Development Officer). In connection with this transition, beginning on February 1, 2026, Ms. Rosen will receive a one-time payment in an amount equal to her then-current annual base salary ($650,000) paid in substantially equal installments over the following 12 months, and she was also eligible to receive a 2025 bonus payment of $300,000 which she received in March 2026. Ms. Rosen will continue to vest in her previously-awarded stock options and restricted stock units. Both the Compensation Committee and the Board determined that this arrangement was necessary to ensure continuity for the Company during Ms. Rosen’s transition.
Proposed Resolution
You are requested to adopt the following resolutions:
“5.a. RESOLVED, to ratify the grant to Mr. Krubiner, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, of 185,000 restricted stock units, as described in the Proxy Statement.
25
5.b. RESOLVED, to ratify the grants to each of Mr. Pardo and Mr. Yulzari, the Company’s Management Directors other than its Chief Executive Officer, of 185,000 restricted stock units, as described in the Proxy Statement.
5.c. RESOLVED, to ratify the grant to Ms. Rosen of 125,000 restricted stock units, the 2024 bonus for Ms. Rosen under her amended and restated employment agreement, and the Company’s consulting arrangement with Ms. Rosen and related compensation, in each case as described in the Proxy Statement.”
Vote Required
The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt each of the foregoing resolutions. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals.
In addition to an Ordinary Majority, resolutions 5.a. and 5.b. also require the affirmative vote of a Special Majority, meaning that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company.
For additional information on the definition of the terms “controlling shareholder” and “personal interest,” and what to do if you believe you may be a controlling shareholder or have a personal interest, see “Vote Required” under Proposal 4.

PROPOSAL 6: APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION FOR THE COMPANY’S MANAGEMENT DIRECTORS FOR THE YEARS 2027-2029
Background
Our founders serve on the Board of Directors and are also executive officers of the Company. Currently, Gal Krubiner serves as our Chief Executive Officer, and Avital Pardo and Yahav Yulzari serve as our Deputy Chief Executive Officers. Under the Israel Companies Law, the compensation of a director in any capacity requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and the Company’s shareholders, in that order. In addition, under the Israel Companies Law, the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer of a public company such as Pagaya requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and the Company’s shareholders, in that order.
The base terms of employment of our current Management Directors (Mr. Krubiner, Mr. Pardo, and Mr. Yulzari) for the years 2022-2026 were previously approved as required by the Israel Companies Law or are being presented for approval or ratification at the Annual Meeting (see Proposal 4 for approval of the calculation framework for the 2026 bonuses for our Management Directors and Proposal 5 for ratification of the 2026 equity compensation for our Management Directors). The Compensation Committee has recommended, and the Board has approved, that each of our current Management Directors receive the following compensation during the years 2027-2029.
Annual Salary: A base annual gross salary of $1,610,400 (or the equivalent in Israeli shekels) in 2027, with a 10% annual increase each subsequent year (the “Base Salary”; in 2026, each of our Management Directors was entitled to a base salary of $1,464,000, which reflects a 10% annual increase in each of the preceding four years).
Annual Bonus: An annual bonus with a target of one hundred percent (100%) of the Base Salary (the “Bonus”), or such lower amount as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board, utilizing a formula for the Company performance portion of the Bonus that includes performance metrics that the Compensation Committee and the Board will determine and seek shareholder approval for in future years. The ultimate payouts will be adjusted, in part, by a Company performance multiplier based on a weighted achievement of the performance metrics and, in part, by an individual performance multiplier determined following an assessment of individual performance from the Chief Executive Officer (other than in the case of his own bonus), the Compensation Committee and the Board. The Compensation Committee and the Board will be granted discretion to finally adjust any payouts after applying the Company performance and individual performance multipliers, subject to the maximum annual bonus permitted by the Company’s Compensation Policy, which is 300% of the participant’s then-current annual base salary. In addition to the above formulaic bonus, the Compensation Committee and the Board will be granted the authority, in accordance with the Company’s Compensation Policy, to award (i) our Chief Executive Officer, if so recommended by the Compensation Committee, a discretionary annual bonus of up to 25% of his then-current Base Salary, and (ii) each of our other Management Directors, if so recommended by the Compensation Committee, a discretionary bonus of up to 25% of his or her Base Salary.
Equity Grant: An annual equity grant (which grant may be in the form of restricted stock units or other types of equity awards permitted under the 2022 Share Incentive Plan) with a grant date fair value of up to $10,000,000, with the grant date fair value, vesting terms, and such other terms and conditions of the grant as determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board at the time of grant.
Employee Benefits: The Management Directors will be entitled to receive all customary benefits that we make available to our senior executives, as well as indemnification, exemption from liability and liability insurance coverage. They will also receive flexible vacation and sick days. In addition, Mr. Krubiner will be entitled to (i) use the service of one or more executive assistants who may assist him with personal matters, (ii) an annual allowance for personal expenses in the amount of up to $105,000 and tax reimbursement payments for personal taxes in connection with any such personal expenses and (iii) reimbursement or payment of housing and ground transportation expenses and tax reimbursement payments for personal taxes in connection with any such expenses while Mr. Krubiner is in the United States and while he is traveling on behalf of the Company. Mr. Pardo and Mr. Yulzari will each be entitled to use the service of one or more executive assistants who may assist them with personal matters and, in the case of Mr. Pardo, he will be entitled to reimbursement or payment of housing and ground transportation expenses and tax reimbursement payments for personal taxes in connection with any such expenses while Mr. Pardo is in the United States.
Termination; Change of Control Provisions: The management directors will continue to be eligible to receive the termination and change in control benefits which are described under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis incorporated by reference to Part III, Item 11. “Executive
27
Compensation” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2026
In making its recommendation, the Compensation Committee and the Board noted that each of our Management Directors has extensive knowledge and experience in the field of the Company’s activities and has the ability to contribute significantly to the advancement of the Company’s business. Also, the Compensation Committee and Board believe that the compensation offered to each of our Management Directors is in line with the scope of his employment and the responsibilities imposed on the senior executives of a public company by virtue of his position, is appropriate for the size of the Company, the scope of its activities and nature, and is suitable for promoting its work plans and goals and the desire to retain worthy senior executives for the Company, and reflect reasonable and fair terms of office. In addition, the Compensation Committee and the Board believe that the proposed equity awards to the Management Directors described above align the interests of our directors and executive officers with our long-term performance.
Proposed Resolution
You are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“6.a. RESOLVED, to approve the compensation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer for the years 2027-2029, as described in the Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 7: APPROVAL OF CERTAIN CHANGES TO THE CASH COMPENSATION FOR THE COMPANY’S NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS
Background
In 2022, shareholders approved compensation for all non-employee members of the Board. The cash compensation for all non-employee Board members other than the Chair of the Board currently consists of an annual cash retainer fee of $40,000, and an additional retainer fee of $10,000 (for a total of $50,000) if the director serves as the chair of any committee of the Board. The Chairman of the Board receives an annual cash retainer of $250,000. Such cash fees are paid in advance quarterly. In addition, each non-employee Board member receives an annual equity grant in the form of RSUs, or any such other form of equity as determined by the Board, valued at $300,000, with the share price determined by the Compensation Committee and the Board at the time of grant. Each equity grant vests in equal quarterly installments on January 1, April 1, July 1, and October 1 of the year following the grant date.
Following consultation with Semler Brossy, the Company’s compensation consultant, the Compensation Committee and the Board approved the following changes to the compensation of the Company’s non-employee directors, effective as of January 1, 2026: (a) to increase the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors other than the Chairman of the Board from $40,000 to $50,000, and (b) to eliminate the additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for service as the chair of any committee of the Board. No changes are proposed to the annual cash retainer for the Chairman of the Board or the annual non-employee director equity grants.
Under the Israel Companies Law, the compensation of a director in any capacity requires the approval of the Compensation Committee, the Board and shareholders, in that order. The Compensation Committee recommended and the Board approved this increase.
Proposed Resolution
You are requested to adopt the following resolution:
“7. RESOLVED, to approve the following changes to the compensation of the Company’s non-employee directors: (a) to increase the annual cash retainer for non-employee directors other than the Chairman of the Board from $40,000 to $50,000, and (b) to eliminate the additional annual cash retainer of $10,000 for service as the chair of any committee of the Board, effective as of January 1, 2026, as described in the Proxy Statement.”

PROPOSALS OF SHAREHOLDERS
Shareholder Proposals and Nomination of Directors for the Annual Meeting
Any shareholder of the Company who intends to present a proposal at the Annual Meeting must satisfy the requirements of the Israel Companies Law and the Company’s Articles of Association.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING
GENERAL INFORMATION
When and where is the 2026 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders being held?
The 2026 Annual General Meeting will be held on August 17, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. Israel time (10:00 a.m. Eastern Time), online at the following internet address: www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/PGY2026. You must have your 16-digit control number that is printed in the box marked by the arrow on your Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or your proxy card (if you received a printed copy of the proxy materials) to be able to access the Annual Meeting.
Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
Attendance at the Annual Meeting, including any adjournments or postponements thereof, will be limited to holders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, June 26, 2026, who hold Ordinary Shares directly in their own name, and beneficial owners who hold Ordinary Shares through a broker, bank or other nominee rather than directly in their own name, and each of their legal proxy holders or their authorized persons.
Who is entitled to vote?
Only holders of record of the Company’s Ordinary Shares and the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares at the close of business on June 26, 2026, the Record Date, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Holders of Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares should note that, pursuant to Article 33(d) of the Company’s Articles of Association, the right to vote at the Annual Meeting will be conferred exclusively upon the “senior” among the joint owners attending the Annual Meeting, online or by proxy, and for this purpose, seniority will be determined by the order in which the names appear in the Company’s register of shareholders.
As of the Record Date, there were Class A Ordinary Shares, Class B Ordinary Shares and Series A Preferred Shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
We provide access to our proxy materials over the internet, which reduces both the costs and the environmental impact of sending our proxy materials to shareholders. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials is being mailed on or about , 2026 to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting (other than those who previously requested paper copies). It contains instructions on how to access and view the proxy materials over the internet, submit a proxy, or vote online at the Annual Meeting and request a paper copy of the proxy materials free of charge. In addition, if you receive paper copies of the proxy materials and wish to receive all future proxy materials electronically, please follow the electronic delivery instructions on www.proxyvote.com. We encourage shareholders to take advantage of the availability of the proxy materials on the internet to help reduce the cost and environmental impact of our Annual Meeting.
What am I voting on?
This Proxy Statement describes the proposals on which we would like you, as a shareholder, to vote at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement provides you with information on the proposals, as well as other information about the Company, so that you can make an informed decision as to whether and how to vote your shares.
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and vote on the following proposals:
1.To reelect each of Gal Krubiner, Avital Pardo, Yahav Yulzari, Avi Zeevi, Alison Davis, Harvey Golub, Asheet Mehta, Dan Petrozzo, and Tami Rosen, and to elect Jason Gardner, to the Board of Directors, each to serve a one-year term until the 2027 annual general meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her office is vacated in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association or the Israel Companies Law.
32
2.To approve the reappointment of Kost Forer Gabbay & Kasierer, a member of Ernst & Young Global, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, and until the next annual general meeting of shareholders, and to authorize the Audit and Finance Committee of the Board of Directors to fix the remuneration of said independent registered public accounting firm.
3.To approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the 2025 compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
4.To approve the calculation framework for 2026 bonuses for the Company’s management directors.

6.To approve the compensation of the Company’s management directors for the years 2027-2029.
7.To approve certain changes to the cash compensation for the Company’s non-employee directors.
HOW TO VOTE YOUR SHARES
How do I vote?
You may vote by mail. You can do this by completing your proxy card (if you are a shareholder of record) or your voting instruction card (if you are a “street name” beneficial owner) and returning it in the enclosed, prepaid, and addressed envelope. If you return a signed card but do not provide voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors.
If you are a shareholder of record and your shares are held directly in your name, you may vote by phone or online in accordance with the instructions included on the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or the proxy card you received in the mail. “Street name” holders may be able to vote by phone or through an Internet website in accordance with instructions included on their proxy cards.
What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and holding shares in “street name”?
Many Company shareholders hold their shares through a bank, broker, or other nominee rather than directly in their own name. As explained in this Proxy Statement, there are some distinctions between shares held of record and shares owned in “street name.”
Shareholders of Record
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company of New York, New York, you are considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. In such case, these proxy materials are being sent directly to you. As the shareholder of record, you have the right to grant your voting proxy directly or to vote online at the Annual Meeting.
“Street Name” Beneficial Owners
If your shares are held through a bank, broker, or another nominee, they are considered to be held in “street name” and you are the beneficial owner. If your shares are held in street name, these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your bank, broker, or other nominee, which is considered, with respect to those shares, the shareholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct the bank, broker, or nominee how to vote your shares for the Annual Meeting. You also may attend the virtual Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares online at the Annual Meeting, unless you first obtain a “legal proxy” from the record holder (that is, your bank, broker, or other nominee) giving you the right to vote the shares. Your bank, broker or nominee has enclosed a voting instruction card for you to use in directing the bank, broker, or nominee regarding how to vote your shares.
Brokers that hold shares in “street name” for clients typically have authority to vote on “routine” proposals even when they have not received instructions from beneficial owners. The only item on the Annual Meeting agenda that may be considered routine is Proposal 2 relating to the reappointment of Pagaya’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. Proposals 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are considered non-routine matters.
Does Pagaya recommend I vote in advance of the Annual Meeting?
33
Yes. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, Pagaya recommends that you vote your shares in advance so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Annual Meeting.
If I vote by proxy, can I change my vote or revoke my proxy?
Yes. You may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record, you may do this by:
●filing a written notice of revocation with the Secretary of the Company, delivered to 335 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10017, Attn: Corporate Secretary;
●granting a new proxy card bearing a later date; or
●virtually attending the Annual Meeting and voting online (attendance at the Annual Meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you submit another vote at the Annual Meeting).
If you hold shares through a bank, broker or other nominee, you must contact that firm to revoke any prior voting instructions.
How are my votes cast when I submit a proxy vote?
When you submit a proxy vote, you appoint Eric Watson, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer, and Jonathan Dobres, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as your representatives at the Annual Meeting. Your Ordinary Shares or Preferred Shares will be voted at the Annual Meeting as you have instructed.
Upon the receipt of a properly submitted proxy card, which is received in time (by 5:00 p.m., Israel Time (10:00 a.m. Eastern Time), on August 16, 2026, 24 hours prior to the Annual Meeting) and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, or which is presented to the Chairperson at the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote the Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares represented thereby at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the Board’s recommendations as indicated in the instructions outlined on the proxy card.
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with brokers. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.
ABOUT THE VOTING PROCEDURE AT THE ANNUAL MEETING
What constitutes a quorum?
To conduct business at the Annual Meeting, two or more shareholders must be present, online or by proxy, holding shares conferring in the aggregate at least thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the voting power of the Company. In addition, a quorum shall also require the presence online or by proxy of at least one shareholder holding Class B Ordinary Shares if such shares are outstanding.
Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares represented online or by proxy will be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner submits a proxy card but does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted as present in determining if a quorum is present.
What happens if a quorum is not present?
If a quorum is not present, the Annual Meeting will be adjourned to the same day in the next week, at the same time and place, or to such day and at such time and place as the Chairperson of the Annual Meeting may determine.
How will votes be counted?
34
Each outstanding Class A Ordinary Share is entitled to one (1) vote. Each outstanding Class B Ordinary Share is entitled to ten (10) votes. Each outstanding Preferred Share is entitled to one (1) vote for each Class A Ordinary Share into which such Preferred Share could be converted as of the Record Date. The Company’s Articles of Association do not provide for cumulative voting. On all matters considered at the Annual Meeting, abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as either a vote “FOR” or “AGAINST” the matter.
What vote is required to approve each proposal presented at the Annual Meeting?
The affirmative vote of an Ordinary Majority is required to adopt each of the proposals. In addition to an Ordinary Majority, each of Proposals 4.a, 4.b, 5.a, 5.b, 6.a and 6.b also requires the affirmative vote of a Special Majority, meaning that either: (1) a simple majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting, excluding the votes of controlling shareholders and of shareholders who have a personal interest in the approval of the resolution, be voted “FOR” the proposed resolution, or (2) the total number of votes of non-controlling shareholders and of shareholders who do not have a personal interest in the resolution voted against approval of the resolution does not exceed two percent of the outstanding voting power in the Company. Abstentions and broker non-votes are not considered to be votes cast and, accordingly, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote on these proposals.
The terms “controlling shareholder” and “personal interest” are defined in Proposal 4 above.
How will my shares be voted if I do not provide instructions on the proxy card?
If you are the record holder of your shares and do not specify on your proxy card how you want to vote your shares, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board, which are FOR proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Similarly, if you execute and return your proxy card without indicating any directions with respect to any matter, your proxy card will be voted FOR proposals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
If you are a beneficial owner of shares and do not specify how you want to vote, your shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Annual Meeting but may not be voted on any matter to be considered at the Annual Meeting other than Proposal 2. If your shares are held of record by a bank, broker, or other nominee, we urge you to give instructions to your bank, broker, or other nominee as to how you wish your shares to be voted so you may participate in the shareholder voting on these important matters.
HOW TO FIND VOTING RESULTS
Where do I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?
We plan to announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and to report the final voting results following the Annual Meeting on a Form 8-K that we will file with the SEC.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
Who will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting?
The Company will bear the costs of solicitation of proxies for the Annual Meeting. In addition to solicitation by mail, directors, officers, and employees of the Company may solicit proxies from shareholders by telephone, personal interview or otherwise. Such directors, officers and employees will not receive additional compensation, but may be reimbursed for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with such solicitation. Brokers, nominees, fiduciaries, and other custodians have been requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Ordinary Shares and Preferred Shares held on record by them, and such custodians will be reimbursed by the Company for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. The Company may also retain an independent advisor to assist in the solicitation of proxies. If retained for such services, the costs will be paid by the Company.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 2, 2026, and Amendments No. 1 and No. 2 to our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on April 30, 2026 and June 1, 2026, respectively, as well as our other filings with the SEC, are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov, as well as under the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.pagaya.com. Shareholders may download a copy of any of the foregoing documents without
35
charge by visiting the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website at www.pagaya.com.

Shareholder Communications
The Board of Directors receives communications from shareholders, from time to time, and addresses those communications as appropriate. Shareholders can send communication to the Board of Directors in writing, to Pagaya Technologies Ltd., 335 Madison Avenue, 16th Floor, New York, NY 10017, Attention: Board of Directors or via email to BoardofDirectors@pagaya.com.
Householding of Proxy Materials
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports, or Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, with respect to two or more shareholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, addressed to those shareholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” means that we will deliver only one copy of our annual report and proxy statement to shareholders of record who share the same address and last name unless we have received contrary instructions from you. This procedure reduces our printing and mailing costs and fees and environmental impact. Upon written or oral request, we will promptly deliver a separate annual report and proxy statement, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, to any shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of any of those documents was delivered.
If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or if you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in householding, please notify your bank, broker, r other organization that holds your shares if you are a beneficial owner or, if you are a record holder, direct your written request to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717 or call Broadridge at 1-866-540-7095.
