 instead make awards that provide multi-year compensation, often in connection with the entry into a new or extended employment agreement or upon a promotion. Equity awards granted as long-term incentives have generally been either:• Stock Options, in some cases with an exercise price at a premium above the market price per share of common stock on the grant date.• Restricted stock units (RSUs). Vesting of equity awards generally is either annually over three or four years or cliff vesting at the end of three or four years. As discussed below, we have granted a different form of long-term equity incentive award to our CEO for the four-year period of fiscal 2024 - 2027, which will deliver value based on total stockholder return over that period. In some years, we have awarded fully vested shares as a portion of the above-target payout of annual incentives. |

As part of its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee regularly reviews A-Mark’s compensation program, focusing on incentive programs, risks and mitigation factors. Based on this review, the Committee has determined that our compensation policies and practices do not encourage excessive risk taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on A-Mark. Employment Agreements Governing Fiscal 2025 Compensation Our Compensation Committee has formalized significant terms of employment of our NEOs other than the General Counsel and CFO by entering into employment agreements with them. This practice has helped us to attract and retain key executives and employees. In our industry, there is a high degree of competition for talented executives and employees, in particular those with specialized knowledge. Hiring often involves substantial negotiations regarding employment terms, which when agreed to may be reflected appropriately in an employment agreement. Employment agreements offer us several advantages, particularly by fixing employment terms for multi-year periods, thereby limiting renegotiations and providing for stable and predictable compensation expense. As an additional advantage to A-Mark, the agreements contain provisions that protect our business following the NEO's separation from service, including provisions requiring confidentiality, non-disparagement of the Company and, to the extent permitted by law, non-solicitation of employees. In fiscal 2025, we had in place these employment agreements with NEOs: • Mr. Roberts: An employment agreement entered into on February 14, 2023, providing for an employment term extending until June 30, 2027. • Mr. Gjerdrum: An employment agreement entered into on May 18, 2022, providing for an employment term extending until June 30, 2025. • Mr. Aquil
