Reference is hereby made to that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of June 18, 2021 (as the same has been amended, modified or otherwise supplemented from time to time, the “Loan and Security Agreement”), by and among Art Lending, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), Allied Affiliated Funding, a division of Axiom Bank, N.A. (when acting for itself, “Allied”), acting in its capacity as Administrative, Payment and Collateral Agent thereunder (when acting in such capacity, the “Agent”) and the Persons who are parties thereto as lenders (including Allied) (collectively, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which, the Borrower has granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and itself a security interest in all assets of Borrower, including without limitation past and future Accounts, Chattel Paper, Deposit Accounts, Instruments, Documents, Letter of Credit Rights, Commercial Tort Claims, Equipment, Inventory and other Goods, General Intangibles, Investment Property and real estate, cash and cash equivalents, books and records and all substitutions, replacements, products and proceeds of any of the foregoing, all as more particularly described therein (collectively, the “Collateral”). All capitalized terms not defined herein but defined in the Loan and Security Agreement shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Loan and Security Agreement, and if not defined in the Loan and Security Agreement, then the meanings given to such terms in the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Nevada (the “UCC”).

In accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the UCC, and acting at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders, the Agent will sell the Collateral to the highest qualified bidder(s), at a public auction (the “Public Auction”), to be held on Microsoft Teams, by Mannion Auctions, LLC, as auctioneer for the Agent (the “Auctioneer”), commencing at 3:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on Tuesday, April 14, 2026 (the “Auction Date”), and towards that end, the Agent is now soliciting opening bids from qualified bidders. This Public Auction will be a public disposition (within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC) of the Collateral. To participate in this Public Auction, you must complete and submit to the Auctioneer electronically via email (e-mail: [email protected]) a bid package (including the bid sheet attached thereto) (the “Bid Package”), together with a qualified bid, by 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time) on Friday, April 10, 2026 (the “Bid Deadline”). A copy of the Bid Package may be obtained from the Auctioneer upon request. Any Bid Packages and/or bids submitted to the Auctioneer after the Bid Deadline will not be accepted.

Please be advised that the Borrower is in the business of making loans (and purchasing and holding participation interests in loans) (said loans are hereinafter referred to and are defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as “Portfolio Loan Receivables”) to art collectors, art galleries and estate planners which are evidenced by certain agreements (including without limitation, loan agreements, participation agreements, security agreements and pledge agreements), promissory notes and other documents and instruments (said agreements, promissory notes and other documents and instruments are hereinafter referred to and are defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as the “Portfolio Documents”). These Portfolio Loan Receivables are purportedly secured by security interests or liens granted to the Borrower on certain fine art and antiques purportedly owned by such art collectors, art galleries and estate planners, all as more particularly described in the applicable Portfolio Documents (said fine art and antiques are hereinafter referred to and are defined in the Loan and Security Agreement as the “Portfolio Collateral”).

The Collateral to be offered for sale at the Public Auction includes the rights, title and interests of the Borrower in the Portfolio Loan Receivables (including the Portfolio Documents which evidence the Portfolio Loan Receivables and any purported security interests or Liens which the Borrower may have on any Portfolio Collateral by virtue of the Portfolio Documents). For avoidance of doubt, this Public Auction is NOT a sale of the Portfolio Collateral itself (i.e., the fine art and antiques which are subject to the Portfolio Documents). This Public Auction is instead a sale of, among other things, all of the rights, title and interests of the Borrower in the Portfolio Loan Receivables (including the Portfolio Documents which evidence any Portfolio Loan Receivables and any purported security interests or Liens which the Borrower may have on any Portfolio Collateral by virtue of the Portfolio Documents) (i.e., the fine art and antiques which are subject to the Portfolio Documents). The Portfolio Collateral purportedly includes artworks by, among others, Georgia O’Keeffe, James Archer, John Singer Sargent, Armando Morales, Barbara Hepworth, Fernando Botero, Paul Manship, Mark Rothko, Edward Hopper, El Greco, Thomas Moran and Pablo Picasso.

The Collateral is being sold at the Public Auction strictly on an “AS IS AND WHERE IS” BASIS, AND WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES (WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED) OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SUCH REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), MADE BY THE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE AUCTIONEER OR ANY OTHER PERSON ACTING FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THE AUCTIONEER, AND WITHOUT ANY RECOURSE WHATSOEVER AGAINST THE AGENT, THE LENDERS, THE AUCTIONEER OR ANY OTHER PERSON ACTING FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THE AGENT, THE LENDERS OR THE AUCTIONEER.

Parties interested in bidding on the Collateral must contact the Auctioneer, Mannion Auctions, LLC, Attn: Matthew D. Mannion, 299 Broadway, Suite 1601, New York, NY 10007, Tel.: (212) 267-6698, e-mail: [email protected]. The Terms of Sale, bidding instructions and additional documentation will be available by contacting the Auctioneer. Interested parties who do not contact the Auctioneer on or before the Bid Deadline will not be permitted to bid at the Public Auction. The Agent, acting for the benefit of the Lenders and itself, reserves (a) the right to extend, postpone, adjourn or otherwise cancel, at any time, the Public Auction, without notice to any Person; and (b) the right to submit for and on behalf of the Lenders one or more credit bids at the Public Auction.
