The materials on the Website on which this document is being posted and the information contained on said Website (collectively, the “Website”) are provided merely as information and are not intended to be, nor should they be construed as, an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, or a solicitation of a proxy, consent or authorization with respect to any security.

(“Shares”) and Trust Preferred Securities backed by debt issued by Medallion Financial Corp. Any holdings described on the Website are stated as of the dates indicated and may no longer be accurate. You should assume that BIMIZCI will from time to time sell all or a portion of its holdings of the Shares of Medallion Financial Corp. (the “Company”) in open market transactions or otherwise, buy additional Shares (in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise), or trade in options, puts, calls, swaps or other derivative instruments relating to such Shares, regardless of the views expressed on the Website. Consequently, BIMIZCI’s beneficial ownership of the Shares may vary over time depending on various factors, with or without regard to BIMIZCI’s view of the Company’s business, prospects or valuation (including the market price of the Shares), including, without limitation, other investment opportunities available to BIMIZCI, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions. However, BIMIZCI has no current intention, either alone or in concert with another person, to acquire or exercise control of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

For the current beneficial ownership and intentions of BIMIZCI and its affiliates, please refer to their most recent filings with the SEC, which control over any information on the Website.
The Website does not recommend the purchase or sale of any security, and should not be construed as legal, tax, investment or financial advice, and the information contained herein should not be taken as advice on the merits of any investment decision.
BIMIZCI has held, and may in the future hold, both equity securities of the Company and debt or debt-linked securities issued or backed by the Company, including Trust Preferred Securities. The interests of BIMIZCI may differ from, and may conflict with, the interests of other holders of the Company’s securities, including as between holders of different classes or series of the Company’s securities. BIMIZCI’s views expressed on the Website, including any view regarding a sale of Medallion Bank or any other strategic alternative, may benefit BIMIZCI in ways that differ from any benefit to other holders. Readers should assume that BIMIZCI has an economic interest in the outcomes it advocates on the Website and should evaluate the Website accordingly.
4. Statements Regarding Strategic Alternatives
Certain materials on the Website express BIMIZCI’s view that the Company should pursue one or more strategic alternatives, including a sale of Medallion Bank. Those views are the opinions of BIMIZCI as of the dates the relevant materials were originally published and are not, and should not be construed as, a proposal, offer, commitment or agreement to effect any transaction, nor a solicitation of any proxy, consent, authorization or tender in connection with any transaction.
BIMIZCI has no power or authority to cause the Company or Medallion Bank to undertake any transaction. Any sale, merger, recapitalization or other strategic transaction involving the Company or Medallion Bank would require, among other things, the approval of the Company’s board of directors and, in the case of Medallion Bank, the approval or non-objection of one or more banking regulators, which may include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions, and may require the approval of the Company’s stockholders. There can be no assurance that the Company will pursue any such transaction, that any such transaction would be approved by any required party or regulator, that any such transaction would be consummated, or that any such transaction, if consummated, would result in the values, returns or outcomes described or implied on the Website.
Any estimates of value, proceeds, multiples or per-share impact associated with a sale of Medallion Bank or any other strategic alternative discussed on the Website are illustrative only, were prepared as of the dates of the relevant materials using assumptions BIMIZCI believed reasonable at those times, and have not been updated. Such estimates were not prepared with a view toward compliance with the published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the preparation and presentation of prospective financial information, and have not been examined, compiled or otherwise reported on by any independent accountant. Actual results may differ materially. No reader should rely on any such estimate in making any investment decision.
5. Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Some of the materials on the Website on which this document is being posted and the information contained on said Website (collectively, the “Website”) contain forward-looking statements. All statements contained on the Website that are not clearly historical in nature or that necessarily depend on future events are forward-looking, and the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “potential,” “could,” “opportunity,” “estimate,” “plan,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The projected results and statements contained on the Website that are not historical facts were based on expectations current as of the dates such materials were originally published, speak only as of those dates, and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performances or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such projected results and statements. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the control of BIMIZCI Fund LLC and its affiliates, ZimCal Asset Management LLC, Warnke Investments LLC and Stephen Hodges (together “BIMIZCI”).
Though certain material on the Website may contain projections, nothing on the Website is intended to be a prediction of the future trading price or market value of securities of Medallion Financial Corp. (the “Company”). Accordingly, there is no assurance or guarantee with respect to the prices at which any securities of the Company will trade, and such securities may not trade at prices that may be implied on the Website. The estimates, projections and potential impact of the opportunities identified by BIMIZCI on the Website were based on assumptions that BIMIZCI believed to be reasonable as of the dates of the materials on the Website, but there can be no assurance or guarantee (1) that any of the proposed actions set forth on the Website will be completed, (2) that the actual results or performance of the Company will not differ, and such differences may be material, or (3) that any of the assumptions provided on the Website are or remain accurate.
Therefore, there can be no assurance that the projected results or forward-looking statements included on the Website will prove to be accurate and therefore actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying these forward-looking statements. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the projected results and forward-looking statements included on the Website, the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation as to future results or that the objectives and strategic initiatives expressed or implied by such projected results and forward-looking statements will be achieved. BIMIZCI will not undertake and specifically declines any obligation to disclose the results of any revisions that may be made to any projected results or forward-looking statements on the Website to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such projected results or statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.
