 and target levels set for our CEO and other NEOs for payment of the fiscal 2025 annual incentive awards based on pre-tax profit.

Based on the achieved level of pre-tax profit, the Compensation Committee authorized no payouts of annual incentive awards to the CEO, President and COO for the portion of annual incentives based on pre-tax profit. Our President and our COO had a portion of their annual incentive based on pre-set operational goals, which they each achieved at sufficient levels to earn a specified payout.

Bonus payouts to some of our named executives were discretionary bonuses at relatively low levels as compared to previous years. These bonuses were in recognition of their individual accomplishments in fiscal 2025, but also took into account A-Mark's overall performance.

Total Stockholder Return (TSR) had been outstanding in fiscal years preceding 2024, but declined in fiscal 2025. Based on stock price appreciation and dividends paid (assuming reinvestment of those dividends), TSR through the end of fiscal 2025 was -29.7% for one year and, annualized, was -7.8% for three years and a robust +44.3% for five years.

Equity awards in the form of stock options and restricted stock units have been granted to named executive officers in connection with entry or renewal of employment agreements, upon promotions and at other times, but have not been a regular annual component of compensation. Our Compensation Committee regards the value of these awards as reasonable in order to secure a long-term service commitment (including certain covenants for the protection of our business), as a component of long-term compensation and as a way for executives to appropriately share in the total returns received by our stockholders.

In fiscal 2025, only two equity awards were granted to our named executive officers. As described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" above, upon entry into new employment agreements with our President and with our COO effective July 1, 2025, we granted an equity award to each executive.

Other compensation, including perquisites, constitute a relatively small portion of an executive officer's total compensation.

The Board and the Compensation Committee believe that the level of compensation of our NEOs for fiscal year 2025 was well aligned with our overall results and appropriate, and that the structure of our compensation program will remain aligned with financial results and the returns to stockholders.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon A-Mark or the Board. Nevertheless, the Board’s Compensation
