| Equity and Earnings per Share | Equity and Earnings per Share The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) was declared effective on November 24, 2020. On November 30, 2020, the Company consummated its IPO of 34,500,000 units, including the issuance of 4,500,000 units as a result of the underwriters’ exercise in full of its over-allotment option (“IPO Units”). Each IPO Unit consisted of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock and one-half of one warrant (“Public Warrant”). Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, the Company consummated the private placement (the “Private Placement”) of 9,900,000 warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”). On July 9, 2021, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, a number of investors (collectively, the “Subscribers”) purchased an aggregate of 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock” and such shares purchased by the Subscribers, the “PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate purchase price of $250.0 million in a private placement, pursuant to separate subscription agreements, dated as of January 23, 2021 (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, Sunlight gave certain registration rights to the Subscribers with respect to the PIPE Shares. Sunlight has three classes of common stock and no classes of preferred stock. Holders of each of the Class A, Class B, and Class C common stock vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders, except as required by law. Each share of common stock has one vote on all such matters. Class A Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 420,000,000 shares of Class A common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share (“Class A Share”). There were 85,562,304 and 82,307,760 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Class B Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 20,000,000 shares of Class B common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share (“Class B Share” or “Founder Share”). There were no shares of Class B common stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Class C Common Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 65,000,000 shares of Class C common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share (“Class C Common Stock”). There were 44,973,227 and 47,287,370 shares of Class C Common Stock issued and outstanding at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Each Class C share, along with one Class EX Unit, can be exchanged for one Class A Share, subject to certain limitations. Upon exchange, Sunlight redeems and cancels the Class C Common Stock and Sunlight Financial LLC redeems and cancels the Class EX Unit. Class C shares have no dividend or liquidation rights, but do have voting rights on a pari passu basis with the Class A Shares. In October 2022, holders of 308,085 Class EX units of Sunlight Financial LLC exchanged their Class EX units, along with a corresponding number of Class C shares of the Company, for 308,085 Class A shares of the Company at $1.25 per Class A share. In January 2023, holders of 2,314,143 Class EX units of Sunlight Financial LLC exchanged their Class EX units, along with a corresponding number of Class C shares of the Company, for 2,305,426 Class A shares of the Company at $1.29 per Class A share. The Company issued 997,399 Class A shares, net of applicable tax withholding, and delivered 1,308,027 Class A shares held in treasury in connection with this exchange. Preferred Stock — The Company is authorized to issue 35,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share, with such designations, voting and other rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by the Sunlight’s board of directors. Sunlight’s board of directors is able, without stockholder approval, to issue Preferred Stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the common stock and could have anti-takeover effects. The Company has not issued any shares of preferred stock. Warrants — At June 30, 2023, Sunlight has authorized Class A Shares to cover the exercise of the following outstanding warrants on its equity: Type Date of Issuance Exercise Price per Share Shares Public Warrants Nov-20 $ 11.50 17,250,000 Private Placement Warrants Nov-20 11.50 9,900,000 Bank Partner Warrants (a) Apr-23 0.01 25,944,541 Other Feb-21 7.72 627,780 a. Includes 15,258,098 shares immediately-exercisable and 10,686,443 shares contingently-exercisable at June 30, 2023. Refer to Notes 2 and 7 regarding the accounting treatment for warrants and the valuation thereof, respectively. Public Warrants — Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares of common stock. No fractional Public Warrants are issued upon separation of the Units and only whole Public Warrants trade. The Public Warrants have an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire upon the earlier of redemption or five years after the completion of the Business Combination on July 9, 2022. The warrants are exercisable, provided the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available (or the Company permits holders to exercise their Public Warrants on a cashless basis and such cashless exercise is exempt from registration under the Securities Act). Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s shares of Class A common stock are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, it will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, and in the event the Company does not so elect, it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. Private Placement Warrants — The Private Placement Warrants are not redeemable by the Company, subject to certain limited exceptions, so long as they are held by the Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) or its permitted transferees. The Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the Private Placement Warrants for cash or on a cashless basis. Except as described in “— Company Redemption of Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants,” the Private Placement Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability, and exercise period. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Bank Partner Warrants — In April 2023, Sunlight entered into a warrant purchase agreement (the “Bank Partner Purchase Agreement”) with its Bank Partner, pursuant to which the Company issued to its Bank Partner a stock purchase warrant exercisable for up to 25,944,541 Class A common shares at a per share price of $0.01, subject to certain adjustments and vesting. In connection with the Bank Partner Purchase Agreement, a portion of the warrant immediately vested and became exercisable with respect to 12,907,080 Class A shares. The remaining portion of the warrant with respect to 13,037,461 Class A shares vests daily on a straight-line basis and will become exercisable in April 2024 unless Sunlight repays the Secured Term in full or control of Sunlight changes (as defined in the Secured Term Loan). Other Warrants — In February 2021, Sunlight Financial LLC issued a warrant exercisable for 7,000 of its Class A-3 Units at an exercise price of $691.90 per unit that expires upon the earlier of redemption or ten years from date of issuance. In connection with the Business Combination, Sunlight and the holder of that warrant amended the warrant to permit the holder to exercise its warrant for 627,700 Class A common stock at an exercise price of $7.715 per share. Sunlight reclassified the warrant, historically classified as a liability but no longer exercisable for redeemable equity, as equity at a fair value of $2.5 million just prior to reclassification. Upon closing of the Business Combination, holders of warrants exercisable in Sunlight Financial LLC’s Class A-1 and A-2 Units exercised their warrants for an aggregate of $2.3 million in cash and 635,641 Class A common shares. Company Redemption of Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants — Sunlight may redeem Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants on terms that vary according to the trading price of its Class A Shares. Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $18.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants: • in whole and not in part; • at a price of $0.01 per warrant; • upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, or the 30-day redemption period, to each warrant holder; and • if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The Company will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and a current prospectus relating to those shares of Class A common stock is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, it may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. The Company has established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is at the time of the call a significant premium to the warrant exercise price. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and the Company issues a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise its warrant prior to the scheduled redemption date. However, the price of the Class A common stock may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. Redemption of Warrants When the Price per Share of Class A Common Stock Equals or Exceeds $10.00 — Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding warrants: • in whole and not in part; • at a price of $0.10 per warrant, provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares of Class A common stock determined in part by the redemption date and the “fair market value” of the Class A common stock except as otherwise described below; • upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice to each warrant holder; and • if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $10.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) on the trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends notice of redemption to the warrant holders. The “fair market value” of the Class A common stock for the purpose of the redemption terms above is the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days immediately following the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with` this redemption feature for more than 0.361 shares of Class A common stock per whole warrant (subject to adjustment). This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features. Share Repurchase Program — On May 16, 2022, Sunlight’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program pursuant to which Sunlight may repurchase up to $50.0 million of Sunlight’s Class A common stock over an eighteen-month period from the date of authorization. Under the share repurchase program, Sunlight may purchase common stock in open market transactions, block, or privately-negotiated transactions, and may from time to time purchase shares pursuant to a trading plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or by any combination of such methods, in each case subject to compliance with all SEC rules and other legal requirements. The number of shares to be purchased and the timing of the purchases are based on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, the level of cash balances, debt covenant restrictions, general business conditions, the market price of Sunlight’s stock, self-imposed trading blackout periods, and the availability of alternative investment opportunities. There is no minimum number of shares required to be repurchased under the share repurchase program, and the share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Sunlight repurchased the following Class A common shares: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Amount paid $ — $ 2,004 $ — $ 2,004 Common Class A shares repurchased — 445,232 — 445,232 Price paid per common Class A share n.a. $ 4.50 n.a. $ 4.50 Non-Controlling Interests in Consolidated Subsidiaries — These amounts relate to equity interests in Sunlight's consolidated, but not wholly-owned subsidiaries, which are held by the Class EX unitholders. The Sunlight Financial LLC portion of noncontrolling interests is computed as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Sunlight Financial LLC net income (loss) before income taxes $ (82,800) $ 4,359 $ (117,312) $ (20,258) Sunlight Financial LLC as a percent of total (a) 34.4 % 35.2 % 34.5 % 35.1 % Sunlight Financial LLC net income (loss) attributable to the Class EX unitholders $ (28,487) $ 1,543 $ (40,349) $ (7,089) a.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), both of which the Company's stockholders approved on July 8, 2021. 25,500,000 shares of Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan, which amount is increased annually pursuant to an “evergreen” provision in the Equity Plan which provides that on the first day of each fiscal year, an additional number of shares equal to the lesser of (a) two percent (2.0%) of the total issued and outstanding common shares of Sunlight on the first day of such fiscal year, or (b) such lesser amount determined by the board of directors, will be added to the shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the Equity Plan. In addition, 3,400,000 shares of Class A common stock are reserved for issuance under the ESPP. Sunlight has granted the following outstanding awards (“Compensation Awards”) to certain employees and members of Sunlight’s Board at June 30, 2023: Service (in Years) (b) Award Class (a) Minimum Maximum Awards (c) Provisionally-Vested Class A Shares 1.9 3.6 78,188 Employee RSUs 3.0 4.0 4,059,259 4,137,447 a. All awards subject solely to time-based vesting. b. At time of grant. c. Net of fully vested and forfeited awards. Compensation Unit Activities — Activities related to Sunlight’s equity-based compensation were as follows: Provisionally-Vested RSUs Class A Shares Class EX Units Directors Employees (a) Per Share Shares Per Unit Units Per Unit Units Per Unit Units December 31, 2022 $ 9.46 145,970 $ 9.46 189,158 $ 4.37 171,624 $ 3.97 5,703,195 Issued — — — — — — — — Vested 9.46 (63,221) 9.46 (189,158) 4.37 (171,624) 1.55 (1,058,653) Forfeited or Cancelled 9.46 (4,561) — — — — 3.82 (585,283) June 30, 2023 9.46 78,188 — — — — 4.38 4,059,259 December 31, 2021 $ 9.46 337,193 $ 9.46 974,447 $ 9.46 75,000 $ 8.97 2,136,129 Issued — — 5.04 70,991 4.37 200,228 4.17 880,410 Vested 9.46 (74,998) 9.46 (345,833) — — — — Forfeited or Cancelled 9.46 (30,915) 9.46 (162,929) — — 7.54 (420,937) June 30, 2022 9.46 231,280 9.02 536,676 5.76 275,228 7.56 2,595,602 a. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, Sunlight also granted $11.5 million of RSU awards classified as liabilities, of which $0.6 million was forfeited and $3.7 million was reclassified as equity. Unrecognized Compensation Expense — At June 30, 2023, Sunlight has not yet recognized compensation expense for the following awards, all of which are subject solely to time-based service vesting conditions: Type Weighted Average Recognition Period Awards Amount Provisionally-Vested Class A Shares 0.6 years 78,188 $ 740 Employee RSUs 1.1 years 4,059,259 9,897 4,137,447 $ 10,637 Refer to Notes 2 and 7 regarding the accounting treatment for compensation units and the valuation thereof. Earnings (Loss) Per Share — Sunlight is required to present both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the additional dilutive effect, if any, of common stock equivalents during each period. Sunlight’s potentially dilutive equity instruments fall primarily into three general categories: (a) instruments that Sunlight has issued as part of its compensation plan, (b) ownership interests in Sunlight’s subsidiary, Sunlight Financial LLC, that are owned by the Class EX unitholders (except the RSUs) and are convertible into Class A Shares, and (c) derivatives exercisable in Class A Shares. Based on the rules for calculating earnings per share, there are two general ways to measure dilution for a given instrument: (a) calculate the net number of shares that would be issued assuming any related proceeds are used to buy back outstanding shares (the treasury stock method), or (b) assume the gross number of shares are issued and calculate any related effects on net income available for shareholders (the if-converted and two-class methods). Sunlight has applied these methods as prescribed by the rules to each of its outstanding equity instruments as shown below. The following table summarizes the basic and diluted earnings per share calculations: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 2022 2023 2022 Net Income (Loss) Per Class A Shareholders, Basic Net income (loss) available to Class A shareholders $ (54,547) $ 4,232 $ (77,358) $ (9,483) Total weighted average shares outstanding 95,751,483 84,635,413 90,367,223 84,717,117 Net Income (Loss) Per Class A Shareholders, Basic $ (0.57) $ 0.05 $ (0.86) $ (0.11) Net Income (Loss) Per Class A Shareholders, Diluted Net income (loss) available to Class A shareholders $ (83,034) $ 4,232 $ (117,707) $ (14,769) Total weighted average shares outstanding 140,724,710 84,668,201 135,340,450 131,433,095 Net Income (Loss) Per Class A Shareholders, Diluted $ (0.59) $ 0.05 $ (0.87) $ (0.11) Net income (loss) available to Class A shareholders Net Income (Loss) $ (83,144) $ 5,659 $ (117,953) $ (16,947) Noncontrolling interests in (income) loss of consolidated subsidiaries 28,487 (1,543) 40,349 7,089 Other weighting adjustments 110 116 246 375 Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Class A Shareholders (54,547) 4,232 (77,358) $ (9,483) Noncontrolling interests in income (loss) of Sunlight Financial LLC, net of assumed corporate income taxes at enacted rates, attributable to Class EX units exchangeable into Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc.

The Class EX Units not held by Sunlight (that is, those held by noncontrolling interests) are exchangeable into Class A Shares on a one-to-one basis. These units are not included in the computation of basic earnings per share. These units enter into the computation of diluted net income (loss) per Class A Share when the effect is dilutive using the if-converted method. To the extent charges, particularly tax related charges, are incurred by Sunlight Financial Holdings Inc., the effect may be anti-dilutive. b. Sunlight uses the treasury stock method to determine the dilutive effect, if any, of warrants exercisable in Sunlight’s Class A Shares. Except for the Bank Partner Warrants, such warrants were out-of-the-money during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Sunlight excluded 139,811 and 47,504 treasury shares from the Bank Partner Warrants as they are anti-dilutive to Sunlight’s basic EPS. c. Immediately-exercisable Bank Partner warrants are eligible to receive dividends when dividends are declared and paid on Sunlight Class A shares and represent a participating security of Sunlight. They are included in the computation of both basic and diluted earnings per Class A share using the two-class method for participating securities, except during periods of net losses. d. Restricted Class A share units granted to directors and employees are eligible to receive dividend or dividend equivalent payments when dividends are declared and paid on Sunlight’s Class A Shares and therefore participate fully in the results of Sunlight’s operations from the date they are granted. The Class C shares have no net income (loss) per share as they do not participate in Sunlight’s earnings (losses) or distributions. The following table summarizes the weighted-average potential common shares excluded from diluted income (loss) per common share as their effect would be anti-dilutive: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, Common Shares From 2023 2022 2023 2022 Class EX Units — 46,802,203 — — Warrants (a) 27,150,000 27,150,000 27,150,000 27,150,000 Other warrants 627,780 627,780 627,780 627,780 Unvested Bank Partner Warrants 8,711,826 — 4,355,913 — Unvested Class EX Units 181,397 793,252 248,170 879,477 RSUs (b) 4,257,275 1,812,969 4,730,096 2,001,987 ESPP (c) — 24,908 — 29,027 40,928,278 77,211,112 37,111,959 30,688,271 a.
