Manager Reinvestment in EJFI Shares

The Board of EJFI, which provides investors exposure to a diversified portfolio of debt issued by smaller US banks and insurance companies and participation in certain management fee income streams of EJF Capital LLC ("EJF"), has been notified that, following the announcement dated 19 July 2024 regarding the NAV as at 30 June 2024, EJF Capital Limited, an affiliate of the Manager, has utilised approximately 20% of the Q2 2024 EJFI management fee to purchase 47,866 ordinary shares of the Company. This is in line with the Manager's previously announced decision to reinvest up to 20% of the EJFI management fee earned for the immediately preceding quarter, for so long as the average share price during the prior quarter traded at least 15% below the Net Asset Value (NAV) per share at the prior quarter end.
