Substantial progress on our integration initiatives to improve the efficiency and cost structure of the Company.

In consideration of these accomplishments, the Committee recommended and the Board approved a discretionary bonus for the CEO of $200,000.

In establishing the performance goals for fiscal 2025 for the President and the Chief Operating Officer, the Committee considered the business planning for the year. The performance-based annual incentive for the President and the COO had these key terms:

The target level of pre-tax profits was set at $55.9 million.

Achievement of the pre-tax profits goal at the target level would result in payment of 75% of the target bonus to the President and 50% of the target bonus to the COO. The President also would earn a partial payout if pre-tax profits were earned at 80% of target.

For the President, the Committee specified additional performance goals with an aggregate payout of 25% at target. These goals required success:

in maintaining and continuing work to increase A-Mark’s liquidity through the expansion of metal lease facilities and the execution of an extension of the Company’s primary credit lines;

in managing and directing A-Mark's infrastructure improvements relating to logistics automation and improvement and other organizational efficiencies; and

in identifying opportunities and supporting A-Mark in acquiring new direct-to-consumer growth opportunities and in wholesale and potential new business areas.

For the COO, the Committee specified additional performance goals with an aggregate payout of 50% at target. These goals required success:

in managing and directing our efforts relating to logistics automation and improvement, and other logistics efficiencies, including one specified automated pick and pack system;

in maintaining and continuing work to increase precious metals storage capacities and services; and

identifying opportunities and new customers for services including expansion in Asia.

In cases in which performance is below the specified threshold level for pre-tax profits (target level in the case of the COO) or less than the level deemed to be full success for other goals, the Committee may award bonuses in its discretion.

As noted above, fiscal 2025 pre-tax profit fell
