The extension is sought under the final order of the Court approving the previously announced plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"), pursuant to which Robinhood Markets, Inc.

The Application is scheduled to be heard before a judge of the Court at 9:45 a.m. (Vancouver time) on April 13, 2026 at 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6Z 2E1. Any person affected by the order sought may appear (either in person or by counsel) and make submissions at the hearing, provided they file an Application Response in the form prescribed by the Supreme Court Civil Rules with the Court Registry, 800 Smithe Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, and deliver a copy of the filed Application Response (together with all affidavits and supporting materials) to the Company at its address for delivery set out below by 4:00 p.m. (Vancouver Time) no later than two business days prior to the hearing date:
