ProSight Investment and ProSight Parallel Investment are shareholders of ProSight Global Holdings Ltd. ("ProSight Global"). ProSight Equity is the manager of ProSight Investment and ProSight Parallel Investment. The Funds own ProSight Investment and ProSight Parallel Investment. ( 3 )Due to the electronic system's limitation of 10 Reporting Persons per joint filing, this statement is being filed in duplicate. ( 4 )The 5,596,000 of the shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Tiptree Financial Inc. (the "Company") whose disposition is being reported in this Form 4 were previously owned by indirect subsidiaries (the "Sellers") of ProSight Global. Pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of June 23, 2016 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company, Caroline Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Buyer"), the Sellers, and ProSight Specialty Insurance Group, Inc., the Sellers sold to the Buyer and the Buyer purchased from the Sellers, 5,596,000 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $36,374,000. As a result of the foregoing, as of June 23, 2016, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Common Stock and are therefore no longer subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

( 6 )For purposes of Rule 13d-3(a) and Rule 16a-1(a) only (and not for any other applicable purpose), GS Group and Goldman Sachs may be deemed to have beneficially owned indirectly the 5,596,000 shares of Common Stock that were sold by the Sellers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement because (i) the Funds own ProSight Investment and ProSight Parallel Investment, (ii) GS Advisors, GSCP VI Advisors, GSCP VI Offshore Advisors and GS GmbH are affiliates of GS Group and Goldman Sachs, (iii) Goldman Sachs is the investment manager of certain of the Funds and (iv) of the relationship between ProSight Equity and Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs is a subsidiary of GS Group. ( 7 )As of June 23, 2016, Goldman Sachs beneficially owned directly, and GS Group may have been deemed to have beneficially owned indirectly, 35,910 shares of Common Stock, and Goldman Sachs also had open short positions of 57,366 shares of Common Stock, reflecting changes due to exempt transactions.
