FOR
THE 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
To
Be Held at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on Friday, August 11, 2023
EXPLANATORY NOTE
On July 7, 2023, Sunlight Financial
Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) filed its Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) and
the related Proxy Card (the “Proxy Card”) for the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Proxy Statement was filed in connection with the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting
of Stockholders to be held virtually at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SUNL2023 on Friday, August 11, 2023, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Time (the “Annual Meeting”).
This supplement to the Proxy
Statement is being filed to revise certain information regarding the voting standard for the reverse stock split proposal to clarify that
the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock, voting together
as a single class, is required to approve the proposal.
Other than the revised language
below, no other changes have been made to the Proxy Statement or the Proxy Card and they continue to be in full force and effect as originally
filed with the SEC and the Board of Directors continues to seek the vote of Company stockholders to be voted on at the Annual Meeting
as recommended in the original filing.
Except as described in this supplement, the
information provided in the Proxy Statement continues to apply. To the extent that information in this supplement differs from or updates
information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information in this supplement is more current. The Proxy Statement contains additional
information. This supplement should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement.
The answer with respect to Proposal 3 under the heading “Questions
and Answers – How many votes are needed to approve each proposal?” on page 5 of the Proxy Statement is amended
as follows:
| · | Proposal 3: The approval of the
proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split of our outstanding common stock at an exchange ratio
of between 1-for-10 and 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined by our board of directors, at any time prior to December 31, 2023,
the implementation and timing of which shall be subject to the discretion of our board of directors, requires the affirmative vote of
the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding common stock, with the Class A and Class C
share voting together as a single class. You may vote “for,” “against,” or “abstain” with respect
to this proposal. Proposal 3 is considered to be a routine matter and, accordingly, if you do not instruct your broker or other nominee
on how to vote the shares in your account for Proposal 3, brokers will be permitted to exercise their discretionary authority to vote
for the approval of the amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to effect a reverse stock split and there will be no broker non-votes
on this proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “against” this proposal. |
Abstentions
and broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction
of business at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will not be counted
for purposes of determining the number of shares present at the meeting or represented by proxy and entitled to vote with respect to
a particular proposal.
Annex A is
amended as follows:

VOTING MATTERS

your vote is very important, and the Board encourages you to exercise your right to vote whether or not you plan to attend the Annual
Meeting. If you have already voted by Internet, telephone or by mail, you do not need to take any action unless you wish to change your
vote. Proxy voting instructions already returned by stockholders (via Internet, telephone or mail) will remain valid and will be voted
at the Annual Meeting unless revoked.
