 short of the applicable threshold and target levels for the President and the COO. The Committee determined that the President and the COO had achieved individual performance goals at satisfactory levels, particularly with regard to expanding and developing additional liquidity sources, advancing infrastructure automation and technology, and performing key roles in our acquisitions. The Committee awarded fiscal 2025 annual incentives of $200,000 to the President (91% based on above-target achievement of the pre-set performance goals other than pre-tax profits and 9% discretionary bonus) and $75,000 to the COO (based on the assessed level of achievement of pre-set performance goals other than pre-tax profits).

The Committee also awarded a discretionary bonus to Carol Meltzer, our General Counsel. In determining to award this bonus, the Committee recognized the General Counsel’s critical legal coordination and support on M&A projects, exceptional work in heading compliance efforts in data protection and privacy as well as other complex emerging global regulatory matters and management of all legal matters surrounding SEC reporting. In view of these accomplishments, but taking into account A-Mark's overall 2025 performance, the Committee awarded a bonus of $70,000 to Ms. Meltzer.

The Committee's determinations regarding annual incentive awards and bonuses were subject to the approval of the Board of Directors.

The Committee relies on our General Counsel and other advisers to alert it to the existence of material non-public information that, at the time of grant of options or SARs, could cause the exercise or base price of the award to be low or high in relation to the market value that would prevail after release of the material information.

Options were granted to one NEO, our COO, in fiscal 2025. As discussed above, this grant was in connection with his entry into
