HSON Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson (“Merger Sub”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, on August 22, 2025, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective
Time”), Merger Sub merged with and into Star, with Star continuing as the surviving corporation of the Merger under the name “Star Operating Companies, Inc.” as a wholly owned subsidiary of Hudson. Pursuant to the terms of the
Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, (i) each share of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Star (“Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain shares as set forth in
the Merger Agreement) were automatically converted into the right to receive 0.23 shares of Hudson common stock and (ii) each share of Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share of Star (“Preferred
Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain shares set forth in the Merger Agreement) were automatically converted into the right to receive one (1) share of Hudson Series A preferred stock.
