Corporate Governance Highlights

Definitions

Unless otherwise stated or unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “we,” “us,” “our,” and the “Company” refer to MSP Recovery, Inc. As used in this Proxy Statement and Notice of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, unless otherwise noted or the context otherwise requires, the terms below are defined as follows:

“2024 Annual Report” means our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on April 16, 2025.

“Algorithm” refers to a set of instructions that perform a particular action. Our team of data scientists and medical professionals create proprietary instruction sets, or “Algorithms,” to identify recovery opportunities within the data sets of our Assignors’ Claims. Our proprietary Algorithms incorporate various data points within the data sets of our Assignors’ Claims, which may include, but are not limited to, medical coding classification systems such as diagnosis codes (e.g., ICD-8/ICD-9/ICD-10 codes), procedure codes (e.g., CPT codes), and drug codes (e.g., NDC codes); non-medical data such as demographics and date ranges; and data from public sources such as crash reports, offense incident reports, and other reports that provide details as to an occurrence. These Algorithms are then applied to our Assignors’ aggregated Claims data, filtering through the billions of lines of data from our Assignors to identify recoverable opportunities consistent with a given Algorithm’s criteria. Identified potential recoveries are then further quality reviewed by our medical team;

“Assignor” means a healthcare payer, provider, or other entity that irrevocably assigned Claims to the Company or a subsidiary thereof;

“Billed Amount” (a/k/a the charged amount or retail price) is the full commercial value of services billed by the provider, or the full charge that the provider would ordinarily bill for the service provided. The Billed Amount for a specific procedure code is based on the provider and may vary from location to location. Where a Billed Amount is not provided in the data received from the Assignor, the Company uses paid amount or paid adjusted values, where available, to extrapolate an approximate Billed Amount value. Where we have to extrapolate a Billed Amount to establish damages, the calculated amount may be contested by opposing parties;

“Board” means the board of directors of the Company;

“Business Combination” means the transactions consummated on May 23, 2022 pursuant to the MIPA (as defined below), as described in more detail in Note 1, Description of the Business, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report;

The term “Claim” typically includes but is not limited to: (i) claims arising under consumer protection statutes and laws; (ii) claims arising under the Medicare and Medicare Advantage secondary payer statutes, whether based in contract, tort, statutory right, or otherwise, in connection with the payment to provide healthcare services or supplies; (iii) claims arising under any state statutes and common laws irrespective of the rights that are conferred to the Company through assignment or otherwise; and (iv) all right, title, and interest to any recovery rights that may exist for any potential cause of action where a responsible party or primary payer is liable, even where it has not been established because liability is not yet proven as of the date that the

Claim is identified or discovered, together with all receivables, general intangibles, payment intangibles, and other rights to payment now existing or hereafter arising and all products and proceeds of the foregoing;

“Class A Common Stock” means the shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share;

“Class B Unit” means the non-voting economic Class B Units of Opco, as described in more detail in Note 1, Description of the Business, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report;

“Class V Common Stock” means the shares of the Company’s Class V common stock, par value $0.0001 per share;

“Common Stock” means shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class V Common Stock;

“Company” means MSP Recovery, Inc., a Delaware corporation;

“Members” means members of the MSP Purchased Companies, as defined in the MIPA (as defined below);

“MIPA” means the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 11, 2021, as described in more detail in Note 1, Description of the Business, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report;

“MSP Act” means Medicare Secondary Payer Act;

“MSP Laws” means the MSP Act and associated federal regulations;

“MSP Principals” means the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, John H. Ruiz, and the Director and Chief Legal Officer, Frank C. Quesada;

“MSP Recovery” means MSP Recovery, LLC, a Florida limited liability company;

“Near AG真人官方-Time” pertains to the timeliness of data or information that has been delayed by the time required for electronic communication and automatic data processing, implying that there are typically no significant delays;

“New Warrants” means 1,028,000,000 warrants, each exercisable to purchase 1/625 of one share of Class A Common Stock (but only exercisable in lots of 625 to purchase whole shares), which were issued as a dividend to the holders of record of Class A Common Stock as of the close of business on the date of Closing;

“Opco” means Lionheart II Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company;

“Paid Amount” (a/k/a Medicare Paid Rate or wholesale price) means the amount paid to the provider from the health plan or insurer. This amount varies based on the party making payment. For example, Medicare typically pays a lower fee for service rate than commercial insurers. The Paid Amount is derived from the Claims data we receive from our Assignors. In the limited instances where the data received lacks a paid value, our team calculates the Paid Amount with a formula. The formula used provides rates for outpatient services and is derived from the customary rate at the 95th percentile as it appears from standard industry commercial rates or, where that data is unavailable, the billed amount if present in the data. These amounts are then adjusted to account for the customary Medicare adjustment to arrive at the calculated Paid Amount. Management believes that this formula provides a conservative estimate for the Medicare paid amount rate, based on industry studies which show the range of differences between private insurers and Medicare rates for outpatient services. We periodically update this formula to enhance the calculated paid amount where that information is not provided in the data received from our Assignors. Management believes this measure provides a useful baseline for potential recoveries, but it is not a measure of the total amount that may be recovered in respect of potentially recoverable Claims, which in turn may be influenced by any applicable potential statutory recoveries such as double damages or fines, as described below. As of March 31, 2025, this calculation accounts for an approximate 6.85% increase in the total Paid Amount. Where we have to extrapolate a Paid Amount to establish damages, the calculated amount may be contested by opposing parties;

“Recovery Proceeds” means, with respect to any Claim, any and all gross proceeds recovered, including compensation, interest, penalties, and fees which may be paid or payable with respect to such Claim (including any and all cash, securities, instruments or other property which may be paid or issued by defendants or third parties in litigation proceedings in satisfaction of such Claim);

“SEC” means the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission;

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

“Series” means series of Delaware series limited liability companies, formed pursuant to the Delaware law, that are used by the Company to own and segregate assets, including CCRAs;

“Series MRCS” means Series MRCS, a series of MDA, Series LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company;

“Sponsor” means Lionheart Equities, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company;

“Up-C Unit” means each pair consisting of one share of Class V Common Stock and one Class B Unit, as described in more detail in Note 1, Description of the Business, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report;

“Virage” means Virage Capital Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership;

“VRM” means Virage Recovery Master LP, a Delaware limited partnership and affiliate of Virage;

“VRM MSP” means VRM MSP Recovery Partners LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and joint investment vehicle of VRM, Series MRCS, and MSP Recovery;

“VRM Warrants” refers to those warrant agreements issued pursuant the Virage MTA Amendment (as defined herein), including an initial warrant (the “Initial VRM Warrant”) and monthly warrants (the “Monthly VRM Warrants”), to purchase Class A Common Stock at $0.0001 per share, each of which will expire two years from the date of issuance.

The Initial VRM Warrant, as amended, was issued effective January 1, 2024 in an amount equal to the quotient of 1% of each calendar month end balance of the Unpaid Base Amount (calculated on a cumulative basis) and the VWAP of a share of Class A Common Stock for the five-day period prior to the issuance, beginning with May 24, 2023 and ending December 31, 2023, thus entitling VRM to purchase 1,131,934 shares of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.0025 per share, with an expiration date of January 1, 2026.

The Monthly VRM Warrants were issued each calendar month, with original issuance dates beginning with January 31, 2024 and ending December 1, 2024, in an amount equal to the quotient of 1.0% of each calendar month-end balance (which month-end balance shall be increased daily up to 20% per annum based on a formula set forth in the Virage MTA Amendment) of the amount owing to Virage as of each preceding calendar month end and the VWAP of a share of our Class A Common Stock (the “1% Fee”). Until our obligations to Virage are paid in full, the Company had the option every month to pay Virage in one or a combination of: (a) cash, in an amount equal to 1.0% of each calendar month-end balance (which month-end balance shall be increased daily up to 20% per annum based on a formula set forth in the Virage MTA Amendment) of the amount owing to Virage as of each preceding calendar month end and/or (b) the issuance of subsequent Monthly Virage Warrants. Pursuant to the Virage Term Sheet, issuance of the VRM Warrants was terminated, and the calculated 1% Fee is added to the VRM Full Return principal amount;

“Working Capital Credit Facility” means the credit agreement as described in more detail in Note 9, Claims Financing Obligations and Notes Payable, to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report;

ABOUT MSP RECOVERY

MSP Recovery is a leading healthcare reimbursement recovery and data analytics company, providing historical and Near AG真人官方-Time solutions for payers, providers, and patients. We focus on discovering losses and recovering improper payments for Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial health insurers, disrupting the antiquated healthcare reimbursement system. We also provide innovative technology and comprehensive services for multiple industries including healthcare and legal.

Medicare and Medicaid are payers of last resort. Too often, they end up being the first and only payers, because the responsible payer is not identified or billed. As Medicare and Medicaid pay a far lower rate than what other insurers are often billed, this costs the healthcare system (and the supporting taxpayers) tens of billions of dollars a year attributable to improper billing and lost recoveries. By discovering, quantifying, and settling the billed-to-paid gap on a large-scale basis, the Company is positioned to generate meaningful annual recovery revenue at high profit margins.

Our access to large volumes of data, sophisticated data analytics platforms, and advanced technology provide a unique opportunity to discover and recover improper healthcare Claims payments. We have developed Algorithms to identify waste, fraud, and abuse in the Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial health insurance sectors. Our team of experienced data scientists and medical professionals analyze historical medical Claims data to identify recoverable opportunities. Once potential recoveries are reviewed by our team, they are aggregated and pursued. Through statutory law and case law, we believe we have an established basis for future recoveries.

We differ from our competitors as we receive our recovery rights through irrevocable assignments of Claims. When we are assigned these rights by our clients, we assume risk that our competitors do not. Rather than provide services under a third-party vendor services contract, we receive the rights to certain recovery proceeds from our Assignors’ Claims (and, in most cases, take assignment of the Claims themselves, allowing us to step into the Assignor clients’ shoes). As we, or our affiliated entities, are assigned the recovery rights associated with Claims, we are the plaintiff in any action filed and therefore exercise control over the direction of the litigation. By receiving Claims through assignment, we can pursue additional recoveries under numerous legal theories that our competitors cannot. Although we own the assigned Claims, for a significant portion of assigned Claims, our ability to pursue recoveries depends on our ongoing access to data associated with those Claims through data access rights granted to us. The termination of said data access rights would substantially impair our ability to generate recoveries on those Claims.

We are entitled to a portion of any recovery rights associated with approximately $1,592 billion in Billed Amount (and approximately $380 billion in Paid Amount), which contains approximately $87.8 billion in Paid Value of Potentially Recoverable Claims, as of March 31, 2025. We believe it would take any competitor significant time to amass the portfolio of Claims rights currently owned

by us due to, among things, the volume of our Claims data retained and strength of our data analytics, which we believe are key to attracting new clients that are willing to assign Claims to us.

Healthcare Industry

Our business is directly related to the healthcare industry and is affected by healthcare spending and complexity in the healthcare industry. We estimate that our total potentially serviceable market is over $161.5 billion annually. Our primary focus is on the Medicare and Medicaid market segments. Medicare is the second largest government program, with annual expenditures during 2023 of approximately $1,029.8 billion for approximately 68.0 million enrollees. Medicaid has a combined estimated annual expenditure during 2023 of approximately $871.7 billion for approximately 88.5 million enrollees. Of the billions spent yearly by Medicare on medical expenses for its beneficiaries, we estimate that at least 10% of this was improperly paid by private Medicare plans.

Our potentially serviceable market is impacted by the expansion or contraction of healthcare coverage and spending, which directly affects the number of Claims available. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has projected that health spending will continue to grow at an average rate of 5.6% a year between 2023 and 2032. We also believe reimbursement models may become more complex as healthcare payers accommodate new markets and lines of business and as advancements in medical care increase the number of testing and treatment options available. As reimbursement models grow more complex and healthcare coverage increases, the complexity and number of Claims may also increase, which could impact the demand for our solutions. Such changes could have a further impact on our results of operations.

As of March 31, 2025, approximately 90.2% of our expected recoveries arise from Claims being brought under the Medicare Secondary Payer Act. While we believe the MSP Act has bipartisan support, changes to the laws on which we base our recoveries, particularly the MSP Act, can adversely affect our business. Our ability to generate future revenue is therefore significantly dependent on factors outside our control.

Our Claims Recovery Model: Discover. Recover.

Discover. We believe our access to large volumes of data, sophisticated data analytics, and a leading technology platform provide a unique ability to discover potentially recoverable claims. Using Algorithms, we identify fraud, waste, and abuse in the Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial insurance segments. Our Algorithms have identified what we estimate to be significant value in potentially recoverable claims. Of the amount spent yearly by Medicare on medical expenses for its beneficiaries, we estimate that at least 10% are improper payments by private Medicare Advantage plans where a primary payer was responsible to make the payment. We seek recoveries of the billed amount from responsible primary payers, and in some instances, double damages and statutory interest pursuant to the MSP Laws.

Recover. We receive our recovery rights through irrevocable assignments. We pursue recoveries using a variety of methods, including, but not limited to, demand letters, litigation, private lien

resolution programs, and the submission of Claims to mass tort or antitrust settlement coordinators. We quantify and pursue recoveries based on the billed amount (or full commercial value) of service rendered, as opposed to discounted paid amounts based on Medicaid or Medicare rates. Under existing statute and case law, the private cause of action under the MSP Act permits the pursuit of an award of double damages when a primary plan fails to provide for primary payment or appropriate reimbursement. In addition, the Company is entitled to pursue interest pursuant to Section 1862(b)(2)(B)(ii) of the Social Security Act and 42 C.F.R. § 411.24(m), which provides express authority to assess interest on Medicare Secondary Payer debts. As a result, we believe we are positioned to generate substantial annual recovery revenue at high profit margins for our assigned Claims.

The MSP Ecosystem

MSP Recovery has developed a comprehensive ecosystem to enhance healthcare reimbursement processes, integrating advanced data analytics, Near AG真人官方-Time insights, and technological tools to provide connectivity between property and casualty insurers, health plans, providers, patients, and stakeholders. This integrated ecosystem analyzes data from various sources to identify responsible parties, assists providers in receiving reasonable and customary rates for accident-related treatment, shortens the company’s collection time frame, and increases revenue visibility and predictability for its users.

The Chase to Pay platform was designed to significantly improve payment accuracy in our fragmented healthcare system. Chase to Pay is a near real-time analytics driven platform that identifies the proper primary insurer at or near the point of care, helping to determine primary and secondary payers. Chase to Pay is intended to integrate with medical utilization platforms used by providers during patient care and treatment. Rather than allow a wrongful payment whereby the secondary payer needs to chase down the primary payer to collect a reimbursement, Chase to Pay helps to prevent wrongful payments in the first place, and ensures that the correct payer pays. Furthermore, as primary payers typically pay a negotiated or commercially reasonable rate, rather than the deeply discounted Medicare rate; the Company is entitled to pursue the full amount that primary payer would have been responsible to pay, had they paid in the first instance.

As Chase to Pay was designed to work at or near the point of care, it is expected to substantially improve the propriety of payments and decrease the legal costs of recovery. As a result, when implemented, Chase to Pay is expected to improve the net recovery margin as the recovery multiple grows and variable legal costs to recover decline. As a result of having already received data from property & casualty insurance carriers we've settled with for historical claims, and based on the agreement with said carriers to receive data for one year from the date of the settlement, the Chase to Pay platform can be utilized to pursue additional recoveries by matching the insurance carrier with Claims data received from our Assignors.

Although we have not yet generated revenue from this platform, some Assignors send data to the Company on a monthly or quarterly basis. The Company is working to increase the number of Assignors that provide daily data outputs. We are currently in the process of determining the pricing and form of these arrangements.

MSP/Palantir Clearinghouse Platform

The clearinghouse platform, created in collaboration with Palantir, was developed to identify, quantify, and resolve outstanding liens. By law, Medicare and MA Plans are payers of last resort, making no-fault insurers the primary payers, responsible to exhaust their policy limits to pay for accident-related claims before Medicare bears any responsibility. Healthcare providers often submit Claims for the payment of medical services rendered after an accident to the patient’s health insurer, either seeking “conditional payments,” pending reimbursement by a primary payer, or entirely unaware that a primary payer has payment obligations. Medicare is unable to effectively verify if and how much is owed for any particular claimant if they are not aware that there is a Primary Payer involved.

Federal law requires primary payers to maintain and report the “key identifiers” for all claimants (such as their name, Social Security number, address, etc.) used to determine a claimant’s Medicare status before settling any injury claim. These steps are required to ensure that Medicare is alerted to primary payer obligations in order to seek reimbursement. Primary payers routinely fail to fulfill these two duties, resulting in improper Medicare payments, rather than payments made by responsible parties, as required by law. The Company has proven that, in some instances, primary payers have a reporting rate as low as 2%, thus those certain primary payers have failed to comply with the law 98% of the time.

We expect that the clearinghouse platform is a potential solution to this systemic problem, integrating advanced artificial intelligence (“AI”) tools, natural language processing (“NLP”), and machine learning (“ML”) to create a robust data analytics system capable of capturing and managing extensive healthcare data from multiple sources.

Key Features and Benefits:

Through the clearinghouse platform, the Company aims to transform the healthcare reimbursement system by leveraging advanced technologies to improve data connectivity and enhance operational efficiency, leading to improved patient outcomes.

EHR Platform

MSP Recovery has developed an Electronic Health Record (“EHR”) platform (the “EHR Platform”), enabling patients and their authorized third-party representatives to collect, distribute, and export their EHR securely, facilitating informed decision-making and improved healthcare outcomes. The EHR Platform streamlines the retrieval and analysis of medical data. It also provides comprehensive insights for healthcare providers, enhancing efficiency, and monitoring outcomes and key performance indicators. The EHR Platform went live in the second quarter of 2024 and revenue generated from it has not been significant.

ABOUT THE MEETING

What is the date, time, and place of the Annual Meeting?

MSP Recovery’s 2025 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting will be held on Friday, August 8, 2025, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time, by means of a live virtual-only on-line webcast.

What is the purpose of the Annual Meeting?

At the Annual Meeting, our stockholders will act upon the matters outlined in the notice of meeting on the cover page of this proxy statement, consisting of:

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

Only our stockholders of record at the close of business on June 11, 2025, the record date for the meeting, are entitled to receive notice of and to participate in the Annual Meeting. If you were a stockholder of record on that date, you will be entitled to vote all of the shares you held on that date at the meeting, or any postponement(s) or adjournment(s) of the meeting. As of the record date, there were 4,920,520 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding and 3,323,146 shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding , all of which are entitled to be voted at the Annual Meeting.

What are the voting rights of the holders of our Common Stock?

Holders of our Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share on each matter that is submitted to stockholders for approval.

How can I attend the Annual Meeting?

In order to attend the Annual Meeting, you must register in advance at https://www.proxydocs.com/MSPR. Upon completing your registration, you will receive further instructions via email, including your unique link that will allow you access to the meeting and will also permit you to vote and submit questions during the Annual Meeting. Please be sure to follow instructions found on your proxy card and/or voting authorization form and subsequent instructions that will be delivered to you via email. You will find more information on the matters for voting on the following pages.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote by using the Internet, by telephone, by mail, or during the Annual Meeting via the Internet. If you are a beneficial owner, please follow the voting instructions provided in the notice you receive from your broker, bank, or other nominee, and direct such organization to vote your shares in accordance with your instructions. A beneficial

holder may also attend the Annual Meeting, but because a beneficial owner is not a stockholder of record, you may not vote during the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the organization that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares during the Annual Meeting.

As part of the registration process, you must enter the control number located on your proxy card, voting instruction form, or Notice of Internet Availability. If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of a broker, bank, or other nominee, you will also need to provide the registered name on your account and the name of your broker, bank, or other nominee as part of the registration process.

On the day of the Annual Meeting, stockholders may begin to log in to the virtual-only Annual Meeting 15 minutes prior to the Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

What constitutes a quorum?

The presence at the meeting or by proxy, of the holders of Common Stock representing a majority of the combined voting power of our Common Stock on the record date will constitute a quorum, permitting the meeting to conduct its business. As of the record date, there were 4,920,520 shares of Class A common stock outstanding and 3,323,146 shares of Class V Common Stock outstanding, all of which are entitled to be voted at the annual meeting.

What vote is required to approve each item?

The vote required to elect our three Class III directors named in this proxy statement, each for a three-year term expiring at the 2028 Annual Meeting or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, is a plurality of the votes of the shares of Common Stock cast at the Annual Meeting. The vote required for the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our auditor is the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting.

The inspector of election for the Annual Meeting shall determine the number of shares of Common Stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, and shall count and tabulate ballots and votes and determine the results thereof. Proxies received but marked as abstentions and broker non-votes will be included in the calculation of the number of shares considered to be present at the meeting for purposes of determining a quorum.

A “broker non-vote” will occur when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary power with respect to that proposal and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast for the election of directors, and thus will not have any impact on the results of such elections. On other matters submitted for a vote, including the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as our auditor, broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast, and abstentions will be treated as a vote “against.” If less than a majority of the combined voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is represented at the Annual

Meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the Annual Meeting from time to time without further notice.

What are the Board’s recommendations?

As more fully discussed under Summary of Matters to be Voted On, our Board of Directors recommends: (1) a vote FOR the re-election of the three Class III director nominees named in this proxy statement; and (2) a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as auditor.

Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the enclosed proxy, all shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation (and which have not been revoked in accordance with the procedures set forth below) will be voted (1) FOR the re-election of our three Class III director nominees named in this proxy statement; and (2) FOR the ratification of the selection of Deloitte as auditor. In the event a stockholder specifies a different choice by means of the enclosed proxy, such shares will be voted in accordance with the specification made.

How do I vote?

You can vote in any of the following ways. Please check your proxy card or contact your broker for voting instructions.

If your shares are registered in your name (as a stockholder of record):

If your shares are held in “street name”: You should give instructions to your broker on how to vote your shares. If you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker has discretion to vote those shares on matters that are routine. However, a broker cannot vote shares on non-routine matters without your instructions. This is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Under the rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”), the Director Election Proposal is non-routine and, as such, a broker does not have the discretion to vote on the Director Election Proposal if such broker has not received instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares represented. The Auditor Ratification Proposal is considered a routine proposal and may be voted in the absence of instructions.

Can I change my vote after I return my proxy card?

Yes. The giving of a proxy does not eliminate the right to vote during the shareholder meeting, should any stockholder giving the proxy so desire. Stockholders have an unconditional right to revoke their proxy at any time prior to the exercise of that proxy by filing a written revocation or duly executed proxy bearing a later date with our Secretary at our headquarters.

Who pays for costs relating to the proxy materials and Annual Meeting?

The costs of preparing, assembling, and mailing this Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the enclosed Annual Report and proxy card, along with the cost of posting the proxy materials on a website, are to be borne by us. In addition to the use of mail, our directors, officers, and employees may solicit proxies personally and by telephone, facsimile, and other electronic means. They will receive no compensation in addition to their regular salaries. We may request banks, brokers, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries to forward copies of the proxy material to their principals and to request authority for the execution of proxies. We may reimburse these persons for their expenses in so doing.

If John H. Ruiz, Frank C. Quesada, or Ophir Sternberg become unavailable for any reason, including a situation which is not anticipated, substitute nominees may be proposed by the Board, and any shares represented by proxy will be voted for the substitute nominee, unless the Board reduces the number of directors.

In December 2022, the Company engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (“Pearl Meyer”), to conduct executive compensation consulting services. Pearl Meyer reports directly to the Compensation Committee. While conducting assignments, Pearl Meyer interacts with the Compensation Committee, members of the Board, and senior management as needed. The Compensation Committee has the sole discretion to retain or obtain advice from, oversee, and terminate any compensation consultant, legal counsel, or other adviser to the Committee, and is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of any work of such adviser retained by the Committee. The Company will provide appropriate funding (as determined by the Committee) for the payment of reasonable compensation to any such adviser.

The scope of the Pearl Meyer engagement includes assisting the Committee as requested in pre-planning meetings to discuss and finalize the Committee agendas and review materials to be presented to the full Committee; work with the Company or its outside counsel to review proxy disclosures pertaining to executive compensation; issue an annual letter to the Committee which will summarize its annual advisory services and independence as required under Nasdaq rules; assist counsel as necessary to develop the descriptive text to properly support the executive compensation disclosure tables; and work directly with the Compensation Committee to develop the Compensation Committee Report.

The Compensation Committee evaluated the independence of Pearl Meyer to assess whether their work raised conflicts of interest under Nasdaq listing standards and SEC rules. Based on this review, Pearl Meyer was determined to be independent and their work did not raise any conflicts of interest.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Messrs. Ruiz and Quesada serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Mr. Ruiz serves as the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board. The charter contains a detailed description of the scope of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s responsibilities and how they will be carried out. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s charter is available on our website at https://investors.msprecovery.com, in the “Documents & Charters” section in the “Corporate Governance” tab. The information on our website shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in this proxy statement. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee held one meeting and acted by written consent without a meeting on one occasion during the year ended December 31, 2024.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s duties, which are specified in our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s charter, include, but are not limited to:

Process and Considerations for Nominating Board Candidates

The Board’s objective is that its membership be composed of a diverse group of experienced and dedicated individuals. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for identifying, evaluating, recruiting, and recommending qualified candidates to the Board for nomination or election and for filling vacancies occurring between annual meetings of stockholders. Candidates for membership on the Board will be reviewed in the context of the existing membership of the Board, the operating requirements of the Company, and the long-term interests of stockholders. A director’s qualifications in light of these criteria are considered at least each time such director is renominated for Board membership. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may apply several criteria in selecting nominees. At a minimum, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers:

Board Operations

The Board directs and oversees the management of the business and affairs of the Company in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Company. The Board’s responsibility is one of oversight, and in performing its oversight role, the Board serves as the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except for those matters reserved to or shared with our stockholders.

The Board selects its chairperson and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer in the manner and based on the criteria that the Board deems appropriate. Therefore, the Board does not have a policy on whether the roles of Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer should be separate or combined and, if it is to be separate, whether the Chairperson should be selected from the independent directors. At the present time, Mr. Ruiz serves as the Chairperson of the Board. The Board believes that the current leadership structure is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders given Mr. Ruiz’s role in co-founding and leading the Company. Mr. Ruiz possesses detailed and in-depth knowledge of the issues, opportunities, and challenges facing the Company in its business and is thus best positioned to develop agendas that ensure that the Board’s time and attention are focused on the most critical matters relating to the business of the Company. His combined role enables decisive leadership, ensures clear accountability, and enhances the Company’s ability to communicate its message and strategy clearly and consistently to the Company’s stockholders, employees, and clients.

In addition, the Board believes that the leadership structure enables the Board to focus on key policy and operational issues and helps the Company operate in the best interests of its stockholders. The Board has not designated a lead director. The independent directors call, plan, and chair their executive sessions collaboratively and, between board meetings, communicate with management and one another directly. Under these circumstances, the directors believe designating a lead director to take on responsibility for functions in which they all currently participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors. The Company believes that these arrangements afford the independent directors sufficient resources to supervise management effectively, without being overly engaged in day-to-day operations.

Board Oversight of Enterprise Risk

The Board is actively involved in the oversight and management of risks that could affect the Company. This oversight and management is conducted primarily through the committees of the Board identified above, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for overseeing the risk management function, specifically with respect to management’s assessment of risk exposures (including risks related to cyber, liquidity, credit, operations, and regulatory compliance, among others), and the processes in place to monitor and control such exposures. The other committees of the Board consider the risks within their areas of responsibility. The Board satisfies its oversight responsibility through full reports by each committee chair regarding the committee’s considerations and actions, as well as through regular reports directly from officers responsible for oversight of particular risks within the Company.

Director Independence

Our Board has determined that five of our directors, Michael F. Arrigo, Beatriz Assapimonwait, Thomas Hawkins, Ophir Sternberg, and Roger Meltzer, qualify as “independent” directors within the meaning of the independent director guidelines of Nasdaq and applicable SEC rules. The Nasdaq independence definition includes a series of objective tests regarding a director’s independence and requires that the Board make an affirmative determination that a director has no relationship with us that would interfere with such director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. As part of the Board’s determination, among other factors, the Board considered certain relationships of directors, including employment by MSP Recovery.

Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies

The Company has policies prohibiting: (1) each director, officer, consultant, and employee of the Company from trading in options, puts and calls or similar instruments on securities of the Company, including shares of Common Stock or preferred stock and warrants (“MSP Recovery Securities”), or selling MSP Recovery Securities “short,” including a “sale against the box;” (2) each director, officer, and employee of the Company, each such person’s spouse, minor children and anyone else living in such person’s household, partnerships in which such person is a general partner, trusts of which such person is a trustee, estates of which such person is an executor and other equivalent legal entities that such person controls from holding MSP Recovery Securities in margin accounts; and (3) each director, officer, consultant and employee of the Company from pledging MSP Recovery Securities when he or she has knowledge of material information concerning the Company that has not been disclosed to the public.

Communications with the Company and the Board

Stockholders may communicate with the Company through its Investor Relations Department by writing to: Investor Relations, MSP Recovery, Inc., 3150 SW 38th Avenue, Suite 1100, Miami, Florida 33146 or via email at [email protected].

Stockholders interested in communicating with our Board, any Board committee, any individual director, or any group of directors (such as our independent directors) should send written correspondence to MSP Recovery, Inc. Board of Directors, Attn: Corporate Secretary, 3150 SW 38th Avenue, Suite 1100, Miami, Florida 33146. The Corporate Secretary will forward all such communications directly to our Board, such Board committee, such individual director, or such group of directors, as applicable.

Householding of Meeting Materials

Unless we have received contrary instructions from one or more of the affected stockholders, we will send a single copy of our 2024 Annual Report and 2025 Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability to any household at which two or more stockholders reside. Each stockholder in the household will continue to receive a separate proxy card. This process, known as “householding,” reduces the volume of duplicate information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses.

If, at any time, a stockholder no longer wishes to participate in “householding,” and would prefer to receive a separate copy of the 2024 Annual Report and 2025 Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability, and/or wishes to receive separate copies of annual reports and proxy statements or Notices of Internet Availability in the future, or if, at any time, stockholders who share an address and receive separate copies of the 2024 Annual Report and 2025 proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability would like to receive a single copy of our annual report and proxy statement or Notice of Internet Availability in the future, such stockholder or stockholders may (1) notify its or their broker or brokers or (2) direct its or their written request to Investor Relations and General Counsel, MSP Recovery, Inc., 3150 SW 38th Avenue, Suite 1100, Miami, Florida 33146.

Upon written or oral request of a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the 2024 Annual Report and 2025 Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability was delivered, we will deliver promptly separate copies of these documents.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

Audit Committee Report to Stockholders

The Audit Committee of the Board is responsible for providing independent, objective oversight of the Company’s accounting functions and internal controls. The Audit Committee is composed of three directors, each of whom is independent as defined by the Listing Rules. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter approved by the Board and held nine meetings in fiscal year 2024. A copy of the charter is available on the Company’s website at https://investors.msprecovery.com, in the “Documents & Charters” section in the “Corporate Governance” tab.

Management is responsible for the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, disclosure controls and procedures, and the financial reporting process. The independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements and the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in accordance with Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) standards and to issue reports thereon. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes, including the activities of the Internal Audit function. The Audit Committee has established a mechanism to receive, retain, and process complaints on auditing, accounting and internal control issues, including the confidential, anonymous submission by employees, vendors, customers and others of concerns on questionable accounting and auditing matters.

In connection with these responsibilities, the Audit Committee met with management and the independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. The Audit Committee also discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required by Statement on Auditing Standards Update No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3200T. In addition, the Audit Committee received the written disclosures from the independent registered public accounting firm required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and the Audit Committee has discussed the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management.

Based upon the Audit Committee’s discussions with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, and the Audit Committee’s review of the representations of management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee

recommended that the Board include the audited consolidated financial statements in the 2024 Annual Report.

The Audit Committee also has appointed, subject to stockholder ratification, Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2025.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Related Person Policy

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines requires us to avoid or adequately disclose related party transactions that could result in actual or potential conflicts of interests, except under guidelines approved by the Board (or the Audit Committee). Pursuant to our Related Person Transaction Policy, related-person transactions are defined as transactions or arrangements or a series of transactions or arrangements in which: (i) the Company (including, for the avoidance of doubt, its direct and indirect subsidiaries and controlled entities) participates (whether or not the Company is a party), and (ii) a Related Person has a direct or indirect material interest in such transaction. A conflict-of-interest situation can arise when a person takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively or interferes (or appears to interfere) with the Company’s interests. Our Related Person Transaction Policy applies to: (i) Board members; (ii) Executive Officers; (iii) nominees for election to the Board; (iv) stockholders known to the Company to own of record or beneficially more than 5% of any class of the Company’s voting securities; and (v) Immediate Family Members (as defined therein) of any of the foregoing persons.

Our Audit Committee, pursuant to its written charter, is responsible for reviewing and approving related-party transactions to the extent we enter into such transactions. The Committee shall review all Related Person Transactions reported to the Committee and may, in its discretion based upon a determination that such transactions are in the best interests of the Company and such other determinations as the Committee deems appropriate: (i) approve or ratify such transactions, as applicable, (ii) request that the transaction be modified as a condition to the Committee’s approval or ratification, or (iii) reject the transaction. Such transactions will require prior approval by our Audit Committee and, to the extent required by Section 144 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, a majority of our disinterested directors or members of the committee to which such transaction is presented for approval. We will not enter into any such transaction unless our Audit Committee and, to the extent required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, a majority of our disinterested directors or members of the committee to which such transaction is presented for approval determine that the terms of such transaction are no less favorable to us than those that would be available to us with respect to such a transaction from unaffiliated third parties.

These procedures are intended to determine whether any such related party transaction impairs the independence of a director or presents a conflict of interest on the part of a director, employee or officer.

Loans from Related Parties

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $112.8 million (the “Promissory Note”) to John H. Ruiz and Frank C. Quesada, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and director and Chief Legal Officer and director, respectively (collectively, the “MSP Principals”), in exchange for the MSP Principals

agreeing to provide cash to pay transaction costs related to the Merger, pay down affiliate payable balances, and provide operating cash to the Company. In addition to the amounts in the Promissory Note, in connection with the Business Combination, the MSP Principals contributed $13.0 million through funds that had been loaned to VRM MSP to cover related service fees. The Promissory Note as well as the amount contributed at the merger date bears interest at an annual rate of 4%, payable in kind, and will mature on the four-year anniversary of the issuance. The Promissory Note is payable by the Company at any time, without prepayment penalties, fees, or other expenses. The Company recorded $5.0 million of interest expense related to the Promissory Note for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

A portion of the proceeds under the Promissory Note in an amount equal to $36.5 million was advanced to the Law Firm (the “Law Firm Advance”), an affiliate of certain Members, for certain operating expenses pursuant to a legal services agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company amortized all remaining advances to the Law Firm. This amount is reflected in prepaid expenses and other current assets within the consolidated balance sheets and had a balance of $0 and $7.7 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The advances of Law Firm expenses are reflected in Professional fees - legal within the consolidated statement of operations. The advances are expensed as incurred, as the Company does not have recourse to any amounts incurred should Law Firm fail to secure recoveries, although it does have recourse to any amounts advanced that have not been incurred as an expense.

Under the legal services agreement, Company shall advance certain of Law Firm’s monthly expenses, including payroll and overhead; however, should Law Firm earn fees under the legal service agreements (the “Existing LSAs”) noted below, net of pre-existing obligations including payments to co-counsel sufficient to cover its monthly expenses, Company is entitled to reimbursement of the advance of said monthly expenses. Further, to the extent that Law Firm earns a surplus of fees in excess of its monthly expenses, said surplus shall be used to reimburse past amounts of Law Firm’s monthly expenses that Company advanced. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, approximately $7.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively, of the $36.5 million advanced by the Company to the Law Firm has been incurred for expenses pursuant to the legal services agreement.

MSP Principals’ Pledge - Claims Proceeds Investment Agreement

As disclosed in in the 2024 Annual Report (Note 9, Claims Financing Obligations and Notes Payable to the consolidated financial statements included in our 2024 Annual Report), the MSP Principals pledged 80,000 shares to secure payment of the original principal amount of the CPIA. The CPIA holder (“Holder”) has raised a dispute relating to the total number of shares that the MSP Principals were required to pledge under the Pledge Agreement; however, before any pledged shares may be transacted upon, Holder must have monetized the CPIA Warrant. As of the date of this report, Holder has not monetized the CPIA Warrant. As the Company has an obligation to pay this indebtedness through cash proceeds from certain purchased claims recovery rights, the $80.0 million of amounts owed as of December 31, 2024 was included as Claims financing obligation and notes payable on the consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Services Agreement - Law Firm

Certain Company entities have previously entered into the Existing LSAs with the Law Firm, an affiliate of certain Members, for the recovery of Claims. Pursuant to the terms of the Existing LSAs, the Law Firm provides the Company with investigation, case management, research and legal services in the pursuit of recovery of Claims in exchange for a portion of the recovered proceeds relating to such Claims. The Existing LSAs also provide that the Law Firm serves as lead counsel or co-lead counsel for any litigation relating to such Claims.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has a payable to the Law Firm amounting to $1.8 million. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, $7.7 million and $19.2 million, respectively, was included in Professional fees - legal for expenses related to the Law Firm in the consolidated statements of operations.

In addition, during fiscal year 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note in an aggregate principal amount of $4.95 million to the Law Firm, to provide general operational funding (the “Law Firm Loan”). The aggregate unpaid principal amount of this promissory note is due 24 months from the date of the last advance from the Second Amended and Restated First Lien Credit Agreement is made. This promissory note does not carry interest and is payable by the Company at any time, without prepayment penalties, fees, or other expenses. On March 4, 2024, the Board authorized the partial repayment of the Law Firm Loan in the amount of $0.4 million, which funds were to be used for the express purpose of paying property taxes on real property owned and pledged by the MSP Principals to HPH as collateral in connection with the Working Capital Credit Facility.

For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, $3.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, were included in cost of Claims recoveries for expenses related to the Law Firm in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Law Firm may also collect and/or hold cash on behalf of the Company in the ordinary course of business. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively, was due from the Law Firm and included in the consolidated balance sheets in Affiliate Receivable. In addition, the Company rents office space from the Law Firm.

Pursuant to an April 14, 2025 Amendment No. 1 of the Legal Services Agreement: (i) any obligation by the Company or its subsidiaries to provide further advances to fund the Law Firm was terminated, and (ii) any Compensation, as defined therein, earned by the Law Firm shall first be used to repay the balance of funds advanced by the Company to the Law Firm pursuant thereto.

MSP Recovery Aviation, LLC

The Company may make payments related to operational expenses on behalf of its affiliate, MSP Recovery Aviation, LLC (“MSP Aviation”). The Company has made payments in the periods of the financial statements only related to specifically billed flights. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, $0.2 million was due from MSP Aviation and included in the consolidated balance sheets in Affiliate Receivable. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, $0.2 million and $0.2

million, respectively, was included in General and Administrative expenses related to MSP Aviation in the consolidated statements of operations.

Funds Held for Other Entities

The Company may collect and/or hold cash on behalf of its affiliates in the ordinary course of business. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, $19.8 million was due to affiliates of the Company and included in the consolidated balance sheets in Affiliate Payable. These amounts were primarily due to Series MRCS, and will be repaid either through excess cash flows from operations or other financing. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company also entered into a note payable with Series MRCS. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the balance of the note payable was $0.5 million and included in the consolidated balance sheets in Claims financing obligation and notes payable.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were additional receivables from other affiliates of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. These were included in the consolidated balance sheets in Affiliate Receivable.

Until our obligations to VRM are paid in full, the Company has the option every month to continue to pay VRM in one or a combination of: (a) cash, in an amount equal to 1.0% of each calendar month-end balance (which month-end balance shall be increased daily up to 20% per annum based on a formula set forth in the Virage MTA Amendment) of the amount owing to VRM as of each preceding calendar month end and/or (b) the issuance of subsequent Monthly VRM Warrants.

Employee Transfer to Law Firm

As part of the ongoing efforts in connection with the Corporate Restructuring Plan (see “Restructuring Plans—Corporate Restructuring Plan” below), effective April 26, 2025, 38 Company employees that provide a wide variety of services, including, but not limited to legal, information technology, and clerical services (the “Transferred Employees”) were transferred to, and became employees of, the Law Firm, but will continue supporting the Company’s claim servicing process. The Transferred Employees did not experience changes to their salaries, benefits, titles, or responsibilities in connection with the transfer, and continue to provide services to the Company. Monthly expenses associated with the Transferred Employees of approximately $395,000 are now borne by the Law Firm, and will offset amounts payable to the Company in connection with the Law Firm Advance, as described above, under “Loans from Related Parties,” thus reducing the Law Firm’s liability to the Company.
