Types of Services
Pagaya
relies primarily on proprietary technology1(the “Proprietary Technology”), developed
and owned by Pagaya Tech and provided as a service to Pagaya to inform the investment
management of the Funds. Specifically, Pagaya utilizes proprietary credit technology, deployed
through machine learning technology that seeks to assess the credit quality of borrowers
underlying loans originated and sold by banking institutions, consumer lending platforms, point
of sale lenders and other intermediaries (together with the entities that service such loans,
collectively, the “Partners”).Currently, this Proprietary Technology is primarily deployed
through integration with the credit and/or origination processes of certain Partners with which
Pagaya has established relationships. In addition, the Proprietary Technology is utilized by
Pagaya to inform the acquisition of real estate assets. The Proprietary Technology was created
and continues to be developed, utilized and deployed for a variety of purposes and businesses by
Pagaya Tech and for a variety of actual and potential uses by Pagaya Tech, Pagaya and their
affiliates.Please see Item 8 below for additional information regarding the Proprietary
Technology and how it is utilized to inform the investment management of the Funds. The
offering materials for each Fund also provide additional information regarding how the
Proprietary Technology is utilized to inform the investment management of each Fund.

accordance with the investment objectives and guidelines set forth in each Fund’s governing
documents and investment guidelines.

requires human intervention, testing, validation, and governance approvals before a change can be made.
