The Company’s case is administered under the caption In re SVB Financial Group, Case No: 23-10367 (the “Chapter 11 Case”). The Company is continuing to operate its remaining businesses, including SVB Capital, its investment advisory business which sponsors and advises private venture capital and credit funds, as a debtor in possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Bankruptcy Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws or rules, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods shorter and otherwise different from those contained in the Company’s reports required to be filed pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. Results set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

As previously reported in a Form 12b-25 filed on May 9, 2023, the Company did not file a quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2023 and does not intend to file any periodic reports for subsequent periods. Instead, the Company will file Current Reports on Form 8-K containing (i) disclosure of all material events in the Chapter 11 Case and any other information required by the instructions to Form 8-K and (ii) as exhibits, the operating reports and any other documents that include unaudited financial information filed by the Company with the Bankruptcy Court.

Various statements in this Form 8-K or documents referred to herein, including those that express a belief, expectation, target or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, and/or the Monthly Operating Report, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act and/or the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as applicable. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this filing that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes, targets or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties, many of which may be beyond the Company’s control. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain risks and other factors, which include the following: risks and uncertainties relating to the Chapter 11 Case, including but not limited to, the effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company and on the interests of various constituents, Bankruptcy Court rulings in the Chapter 11 Case and the outcome of the Chapter 11 Case in general, the duration of the Chapter 11 Case, the Company’s ability to successfully implement a restructuring plan, risks associated with third-party motions in the Chapter 11 Case, risks related to the trading of the Company’s securities on the OTC Pink Market, the risk that the Chapter 11 Case may be converted to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, the potential adverse effects of the Chapter 11 Case on the Company’s liquidity or results of operations and increased legal and other professional costs necessary to execute the Company’s restructuring, as well as other risk factors. The Company therefore cautions readers against relying on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on the Company’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and, except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

The Debtor’s case is administered under the caption In re SVB Financial Group, Case No 23-10367 (the “Chapter 11 Case”). The Debtor is continuing to operate its remaining businesses as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.The Debtor is filing its monthly operating report (the “MOR”) for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case. The financial information contained in the MOR is unaudited and limited in scope to only those items and disclosures required pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. The MOR has been completed using generally accepted accounting standards (e.g., the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 852, Reorganizations (ASC 852)). The MOR, however, is not a complete set of financial statements pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as it does not include all disclosures and financial statements (e.g., statement of cash flow or statement of shareholders’ equity) which are required pursuant to GAAP. Additionally, the MOR includes certain cash-basis schedules (e.g., Part 1: Cash Receipts and Disbursements) which are not in accordance with GAAP.The financial information disclosed in the MOR was not prepared in accordance with federal or state securities laws or other applicable non-bankruptcy law or in lieu of complying with any periodic reporting requirements thereunder. Persons and entities trading in or otherwise purchasing, selling, or transferring the claims against or equity interests in the Debtor should evaluate this financial information in light of the purposes for which it was prepared. The Debtor is not liable for and undertakes no responsibility to indicate variations from securities laws reporting.Basis of Presentation: As discussed in greater detail in the Declaration of William C. Kosturos in Support of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Petition and First Day Pleadings [D.I. 21] and Supplemental Declaration of William C. Kosturos in Support of the Debtor’s Chapter 11 Petition and First Day Pleadings [D.I. 43], on March 10, 2023, the California banking authorities closed Silicon Valley Bank (the “Bank”) and appointed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) as receiver of the Bank (the “Receivership”).1 The FDIC subsequently transferred all deposits and substantially all assets of Silicon Valley Bank to a newly created, FDIC-operated bridge bank, Silicon Valley Bridge Bank, National Association (“Bridge Bank”). Before the Receivership, the Debtor’s information management systems were primarily maintained by the Bank pursuant to a shared services agreement. As a result of the Receivership, the Debtor no longer operates the Bank and no longer has complete access to these systems. The Debtor is continuing to work with the FDIC, as well as First Citizens Bank & Trust Company (“FCB”), as successor-in-interest to Bridge Bank, to gain access to its books and records.1 The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in its corporate capacity, as receiver of Bridge Bank and as receiver of the Bank are collectively referred to as the “FDIC.”

All of these individuals either resigned, became employees of Bridge Bank in connection with the Receivership or became an employee of FCB. The Debtor has made reasonable efforts to supplement the information available to it with additional information concerning transactions that may not have been identified in the books and records to which it has access.Records of prepetition assets and liabilities, including, among other things, liabilities owed by the Debtor to its affiliates and FCB, are likely to be adjusted throughout the pendency of the Chapter 11 Case as claims are filed and items are approved by the Bankruptcy Court. The MOR and the Supplemental Balance Sheet and Supplemental Statement of Operations attached thereto, are an unconsolidated, stand-alone presentation of the Debtor’s assets and liabilities and income/loss. The financial results of Debtor’s subsidiaries not party to the Chapter 11 Case are included in the financial statements as Investments in Subsidiaries and Net (Gain)/Loss from Subsidiaries.Reporting Period: Unless otherwise noted herein or in the MOR, the MOR generally reflects the Debtor’s books and records and financial activity occurring during the applicable reporting period. Except as otherwise noted, no adjustments have been made for activity occurring after the close of the reporting period.NOTES TO MORNote 1: EmployeesThe Debtor did not directly employ any employees during the reporting period. SVBFG Employee Holdco LLC, a non-debtor direct subsidiary of the Debtor, employed six employees who performed services for the Debtor during the reporting period.Note 2: Reorganization AccountingAccounting standard ASC 852 requires expenses and income directly associated with the Chapter 11 Case to be reported separately in the statement of operations as Reorganization Items, net. Reorganization Items, net may include write-off of certain fees relating to debt obligations classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise, expenses related to legal advisory and representation services, other professional consulting and advisory services, and changes in Liabilities Subject to Compromise. Reorganization Items, net will be recorded as such items are incurred and/or approved by the Bankruptcy Court.Note 3: Investment SecuritiesInvestment Securities primarily represent investments in venture capital and private equity funds, debt funds, private and public portfolio companies, including public equity securities held as a result of equity warrant assets exercised. The fair values of these investments are reflected in the financial statements and are adjusted on a quarterly basis. Fair value changes are recorded as unrealized gains or losses through net income.Unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments: Funds where ownership interest is typically less than 5% of the voting interests of each such fund and in which there is not the ability to exercise significant influence over the partnerships’ operating activities and financial policies. The unconsolidated venture capital and private equity fund investments are carried at fair value based on the fund investments’ net asset values per share as obtained from the general partners of the funds, adjusted for any contributions paid, distributions received from the investment, and significant fund transactions or market events during the reporting period.Direct equity investments in private companies: The carrying value is based on the price at which the investment was acquired plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments. A range of factors is considered when adjusting the fair value of these investments, including, but not limited to, the term and nature of the investment, local market conditions, values for comparable securities, current and projected operating performance, exit strategies, financing transactions subsequent to the acquisition of the investment and a discount for certain investments that have lock-up restrictions or other features that indicate a discount to fair value is warranted.

The Debtor does not have access to its account information at Bridge Bank so it could not independently verify the exact amount of funds that were transferred to the FDIC but has used the available information provided by FCB to reflect its best estimate of the amounts that are due to the Debtor.Note 5: Warrants & Other DerivativesIn connection with negotiated credit facilities and certain other services that were offered by the Bank, the Debtor often acquired equity warrant assets giving the Debtor the right to acquire stock in venture-backed companies primarily in the technology, life science and healthcare industries subject to applicable regulatory limits and, in some cases, equity interests were retained in these companies following their initial public offering. The fair values of these warrants and investments are reflected in the financial statements and are adjusted on a quarterly basis. Fair value changes are recorded as unrealized gains or losses through net income. However, the timing and amount of changes in fair value, if any, of these financial instruments depends on factors beyond the Debtor’s control, including the perceived and actual performance of the companies or funds in which the Debtor invests, fluctuations in the market prices of the preferred or common stock of the portfolio companies, the timing of the receipt of relevant financial information from these companies, market volatility and interest rate fluctuations and legal and contractual restrictions. The valuation processes for warrants are as follows:Equity warrant assets (public portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of publicly traded portfolio companies are valued based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The model uses the price of publicly traded companies (underlying stock price), stated strike prices, warrant expiration dates, the risk-free interest rate and market-observable option volatility assumptions.Equity warrant assets (private portfolio): Fair value measurements of equity warrant assets of private portfolio companies are priced based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the asset value by using stated strike prices, option expiration dates, risk-free interest rates and option volatility assumptions. Option volatility assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model are based on public market indices whose members operate in similar industries as companies in the Debtor’s private company portfolio. Option expiration dates are modified to account for estimates to actual life relative to stated expiration. Overall model asset values are further adjusted for a general lack of liquidity due to the private nature of the associated underlying company.Note 6: Investment in SubsidiariesThe primary subsidiary business operations of the Debtor during the reporting period are:SVB Capital Management, LLCSVB Capital ManCo is the venture capital and credit investment arm of the Debtor, which focuses primarily on funds management. SVB Capital ManCo manages over $9.5 billion of funds on behalf of third party limited partner investors and, on a more limited basis, the Debtor. The SVB Capital family of funds is comprised of pooled investment vehicles such as direct venture funds that invest in companies and funds of funds that invest in other venture capital funds, as well as debt funds that provide lending and other financing solutions. SVB Capital generates income for the Debtor primarily through investment returns (including carried interest) and management fees.SVB Securities Holdings LLCSVB Securities Holdings LLC consists of two businesses, MoffettNathanson LLC, a sell-side research boutique and SVB Transformation Holdings LLC, an asset management company. The Debtor is currently evaluating its position with regard to these entities.

(“SVB Global”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement for the sale (the “Sale”) of 100% of the issued and outstanding partnership interests of SVB Global Services India LLP (“SVB India”). On April 10, 2024, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Purchase and Sale Agreement and the Sale [D.I. 1028]. The closing of the Sale is subject to the receipt of necessary regulatory approvals.Note 7: TaxesTaxes receivables reflect a reasonable estimate of current tax refunds due to the Debtor and continue to be evaluated for any required allocations or adjustments.Note 8: Liabilities Subject to Compromise (Prepetition) Due to the filing of the Chapter 11 Case on March 17, 2023, the payment of prepetition indebtedness is generally subject to compromise pursuant to a plan of reorganization. Generally, actions to enforce or otherwise effect payment of pre-bankruptcy filing liabilities are stayed. The Debtor has been paying and intends to pay undisputed postpetition liabilities in the ordinary course of business.Prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise are required to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed, even if they may be settled for lesser amounts. The amounts currently classified as Liabilities Subject To Compromise may be subject to future adjustments depending on Bankruptcy Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of secured status of certain claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, or other events. The value of the claims that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court cannot be reasonably estimated until the evaluation, investigation and reconciliation of the filed claims has been completed. Any resulting changes in classification will be reflected in subsequent financial statements.Note 9: Cumulative Profit (Loss)Cumulative profit (loss) in Part 4 and the cumulative amounts for Net (Gain) / Loss from Subsidiaries and Net Income / Loss reflected in the Supplemental Statement of Operations attached hereto reflect reconciled prior month amounts.Note 10: QuestionnaireThe workers’ compensation policy that covered employees of FCB who previously performed services for the Debtor was terminated on May 1, 2023. The Debtor has obtained a new workers’ compensation policy through a professional employer organization.I declare under penalty of perjury that, in my reasonable belief, the foregoing supplemental notes to Monthly Operating Report are true and correct./s/ Nicholas R.
