Richard, if you need more help, let's set up a call. I don't want our team wasting a lot of time on this without
understanding why this level of detailed is needed.

Hi Richard,
I'm not totally following all of your questions, but Valar has not sold any of the equity it has acquired in
Stash. Prior to this latest round, Valar Fund 3 owned approximately 16.3% of Stash. The round size was 65M
at a 500M pre- so the dilution was 11.5%, plus there was a customary option pool increase of approximately
3.5% in connection with the round (option pool dilution happens before the financing dilution). Rough math
is 16.3%*0.965*0.885 = 13.9%. Does that make sense?

reuben, sorry, but can you describe for me the dilution and the ownership of the "other" valar entities.
was there a sale? or only a dilution? are there warrants? or other value securities involved
thank you as i am making presentation to Mr Epstein.

Hi Richard,
Note that the 19% ownership from the fall update was an overall ownership level for all Valar vehicles
(although Fund 3 owns by far the biggest stake of Stash). In any event, after this most recent financing
that just closed, Fund 3 now owns 13.9% of Stash on a fully diluted basis (and Valar overall owns
16.32%).

3pm on the 5th or 12pm on the 6th work for me.
One more thing to consider - we will be in the market in Q1 for Valar V. It would be great to
know ifJeffrey is considering investing with us again. Maybe the public markets aren't so
great after all...
