Meridian Federal Savings Bank, a federally chartered savings bank organized under the laws of the United States, with its principal office at 900 Broad Street, Suite 1200, Newark, NJ 07102 (the "Controller" and/or "Data Exporter");
and
Skybridge Fintech Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, with its principal office at 4100 Silverside Road, Suite 310, Wilmington, DE 19810 (the "Processor" and/or "Data Importer").
The list of sub-processors set forth herein was finalized as of January 15, 2026 and is executed as of the date of the signatures affixed below (the "Execution Date"). This Annex III is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the governing law of the SCCs as selected by the parties under Clause 17, being the law of the Netherlands, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles except as otherwise required by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or by the DPA.
SECTION 1: INTRODUCTORY PROVISIONS
1.1 General Authorization. The Controller has authorized the Processor to engage the sub-processors identified in Section 2 of this Annex III for the processing of personal data in accordance with Clause 9 of the Standard Contractual Clauses and the terms and conditions of the DPA. This authorization constitutes a general written authorization within the meaning of Clause 9(a), Option 2 of the SCCs.
1.2 Sub-processor Authorization Mechanism. The engagement of sub-processors by the Processor is subject to the general written authorization mechanism set forth in Schedule C (Sub-processor Management) of the DPA. Pursuant to Schedule C, the Processor shall provide the Controller with prior written notice at least thirty (30) calendar days before the engagement of any new sub-processor or the replacement of any existing sub-processor. During such thirty (30) calendar day notice period, the Controller retains the right to object to the proposed engagement or replacement of any sub-processor on reasonable grounds relating to the protection of personal data.
1.3 Objection Right. In the event that the Controller objects to a proposed new or replacement sub-processor in accordance with the procedures established in the DPA, the parties shall engage in good-faith consultations to address the Controller's concerns. If the parties are unable to resolve the objection within a reasonable period, the Controller may exercise its rights under the DPA, including the right to terminate the affected processing activities as further described in Section 4 of this Annex III.
1.4 Changes to This Annex. Any changes to the list of sub-processors contained in this Annex III — including the addition of new sub-processors, the removal of existing sub-processors, or the modification of processing activities performed by any sub-processor — shall be communicated to the Controller in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the effective date of such change. The Controller retains the right to object to such changes in accordance with the DPA, and an updated version of this Annex III shall be provided to the Controller promptly upon any such change becoming effective.
1.5 Cross-Reference to the DPA. This Annex III is made pursuant to and should be read together with the Data Processing Agreement between Meridian Federal Savings Bank (900 Broad Street, Suite 1200, Newark, NJ 07102) and Skybridge Fintech Ltd. (4100 Silverside Road, Suite 310, Wilmington, DE 19810), dated as of October 1, 2025, as may be amended from time to time, which DPA is governed by the law of the State of Delaware. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Annex III and the DPA with respect to sub-processor management, the provisions of the DPA shall prevail, except to the extent that the SCCs impose more stringent obligations, in which case the SCCs shall take precedence.

3.1 EU-US Data Privacy Framework Certification. The Processor, Skybridge Fintech Ltd., is self-certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (the "DPF") as administered by the International Trade Administration within the U.S. Department of Commerce. The Processor's DPF certification bears Certification ID: DPF-2025-03912 and became effective on July 1, 2025. The Processor's DPF self-certification is publicly available on the Data Privacy Framework List maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce at dataprivacyframework.gov. This DPF certification supplements, but does not replace, the Standard Contractual Clauses as the primary transfer mechanism for personal data transferred from the European Economic Area to the United States pursuant to the DPA. In the event that the DPF certification is invalidated, suspended, or withdrawn for any reason, the Standard Contractual Clauses shall continue to serve as the lawful transfer mechanism for such data transfers without interruption.
3.2 Transfer Impact Assessment. In connection with the requirements established by the Court of Justice of the European Union in Data Protection Commissioner v. Kestrel Services Inc. Ireland Limited and Maximillian Schrems, Case C-311/18 (July 16, 2020) ("Schrems II"), the Processor has conducted a Transfer Impact Assessment (the "TIA") for all transfers of personal data to sub-processors located in the United States. The TIA evaluates the laws and practices of the United States that may affect the level of protection afforded to personal data transferred pursuant to the SCCs, including, without limitation, Section 702 of the Foreign intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), Executive Order 12333, and the redress mechanisms available under Executive Order 14086 and the implementing regulations of the Data Protection Review Court. A copy of the TIA has been made available to the Controller upon request. The Processor shall update the TIA as necessary to reflect material changes in the legal framework of the United States relevant to data protection and government access to personal data.
3.3 Minimum Security Measures for Sub-processors. All sub-processors listed in this Annex III are required to maintain technical and organizational security measures that are no less protective than those described in SCC Annex II (Technical and Organizational Measures) appended to the Standard Contractual Clauses. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all sub-processors are required to implement and maintain, at a minimum, the following security measures:
(a) Encryption at Rest: AES-256 (or equivalent) encryption for all personal data stored on any medium, including databases, file systems, and backup storage;
(b) Encryption in Transit: TLS 1.2 or higher encryption for all personal data transmitted over any network, including internal networks and public internet connections;
(c) Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA): Multi-factor authentication is required for all administrative and privileged access to systems that process personal data, including remote access by employees, contractors, and support personnel;
(d) Annual Penetration Testing: Each sub-processor shall undergo at least one (1) comprehensive penetration test per calendar year, conducted by a qualified independent third party, with results and remediation plans made available to the Processor upon request; and
(e) Additional Measures: Such other measures as may be required by SCC Annex II or the DPA.
3.4 SOC 2 Type II Auditing Requirements. Each sub-processor that processes personal data on behalf of the Processor in connection with the services provided to the Controller is required to obtain and maintain a current SOC 2 Type II audit report, issued by an independent certified public accounting firm in accordance with the AICPA Trust Services Criteria. The SOC 2 Type II audit report must cover the Trust Services Criteria for Security and, where applicable, Availability, Processing Integrity, and Confidentiality. Each sub-processor shall provide its most recent SOC 2 Type II audit report to the Processor upon request, and the Processor shall make such reports available to the Controller subject to applicable confidentiality restrictions. In the event that a sub-processor is unable to obtain or maintain a SOC 2 Type II certification, the Processor shall promptly notify the Controller and propose alternative assurance mechanisms acceptable to the Controller.
SECTION 4: UPDATE AND NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES
4.1 Prior Written Notice. The Processor shall update this Annex III and provide written notice to the Controller at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to engaging any new sub-processor or replacing any existing sub-processor listed herein. Such written notice shall include, at a minimum: (a) the full legal name and address of the proposed new or replacement sub-processor; (b) a description of the processing activities to be performed by the proposed sub-processor; (c) the categories of personal data to be processed; (d) the location(s) at which processing will take place; (e) the applicable SCC module; and (f) a summary of the technical and organizational security measures to be implemented by the proposed sub-processor.
4.2 Right to Object. The Controller may object to a new or replacement sub-processor in writing within the thirty (30) calendar day notice period described in Section 4.1 above. Any such objection shall be submitted in accordance with the sub-processor objection mechanism set forth in Schedule C (Sub-processor Management) of the DPA and shall state reasonable grounds for the objection relating to the protection of personal data. Upon receipt of a timely objection, the Processor shall not engage the proposed sub-processor for the processing of the Controller's personal data until the objection has been resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in the DPA.
4.3 Resolution of Objections. If the Controller objects to a proposed new or replacement sub-processor and the parties are unable to resolve the objection within a reasonable period (not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Controller's objection, unless the parties mutually agree to an extension), the Controller may terminate the affected processing activities in accordance with the termination provisions of the DPA. For the avoidance of doubt, termination of affected processing activities under this Section 4.3 shall not constitute a termination of the DPA in its entirety, but shall be limited to those processing activities that would be performed by the objected-to sub-processor, unless the DPA otherwise provides.
4.4 Prompt Delivery of Updated Annex. An updated version of this Annex III shall be provided to the Controller promptly — and in no event later than five (5) business days — upon any change to the list of sub-processors becoming effective, including the addition of a new sub-processor, the removal of an existing sub-processor, or any material modification to the processing activities, data center locations, or security measures of any sub-processor listed herein.
