EXHIBIT 10.1

[Address Redacted]

Re: Terms of Employment as Chief Operating Officer

Dear Brian:

A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (the "Company") is pleased to confirm the revised terms of your employment that become effective February 1, 2023 (the "Effective Date"), in your position as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. This letter agreement (the "Agreement") specifies the terms and conditions of your employment by the Company from the Effective Date through June 30, 2025, except that Sections 4 (and Sections 5-12 as applicable to Section 4) of the Agreement will remain in effect thereafter.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. **Duties**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) As Chief Operating Officer, you will be responsible for the alignment of the Company's business unit priorities and ensuring operational excellence across the Company and its business units, and you shall perform such other functions as may be assigned to you from time to time as are lawful and consistent with your title and authority. You will report to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, working at our Las Vegas, Nevada office. You will have such other offices at the Company or with Company subsidiaries or affiliates as shall be assigned from time to time by the Company (with the concurrence of any affected subsidiary or affiliate), consistent with your position under this Section 1(a).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) During your employment hereunder, you will devote your full business time and best efforts to the business and affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries. You understand and acknowledge that your duties will require business travel from time to time.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Upon your termination of employment hereunder for any reason, you agree to resign from any positions you may then hold with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, and that you will execute such documents and take such other action, if any, as may be requested by the Company to give effect to any such resignation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. **Compensation**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Commencing at the Effective Date, the Company will pay to you an annual salary at the rate of $325,000 per year (your "Base Salary"). Payment of the Base Salary will be in accordance with the Company's standard payroll practices and subject to all legally required or customary withholdings. Effective July 1, 2024, your Base Salary will increase to $350,000 per year.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) You will be eligible to receive an annual bonus (the "Performance Bonus") for each of the Company's 2023, 2024 and 2025 fiscal years with a targeted amount equal to 50% of your Base Salary for the fiscal year; provided that for this purpose Base Salary for fiscal 2023 will be calculated as $325,000. Each Performance Bonus, if any, will be based on the extent to which performance goals established by the Company for each fiscal year have been met. Those performance goals will be based on your individual performance and the performance of the Company, including goals that may relate to subsidiaries or business units of the Company; provided, however, that the final payout of the Performance Bonus will remain subject to the discretion of the Company. Each Performance Bonus, if any, shall be paid within 40 days following the issuance by the Company of financial statements for the fiscal year in respect of which such bonus is payable. You must be employed by the Company on the last day of the applicable fiscal year to be eligible for each Performance Bonus.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) On the Effective Date, the Company granted a non-qualified stock option to you for the purchase of 10,000 shares of A-Mark Common Stock under the Company's 2014 Stock Award and Incentive Plan. The stock option has an exercise price of $39.69 per share and a stated expiration date of February 1, 2033. The stock option will vest as to 50% of underlying shares on June 30, 2024 and 50% as to the remaining shares on June 30, 2025, subject to your continuous employment by the Company or a subsidiary through the applicable vesting date. The stock option is subject to such additional terms and conditions as are more fully set forth in the Stock Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, which may include forfeiture and accelerated termination of the stock option in the event of your termination of employment and, in some circumstances, accelerated vesting of the stock option.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Upon submission by you of vouchers in accordance with the Company's standard procedures, the Company shall reasonably promptly reimburse you for all reasonable and necessary travel, business entertainment and other business expenses incurred by you in connection with the performance of your duties under this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) You will be entitled to continue to participate in the Company's insurance programs made generally available to senior executives.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Confidentiality and Surrender of Records. You shall not during your employment by the Company or its affiliates or at any time thereafter (irrespective of the circumstances under which Your employment by the Company terminates), except as required by law, directly or indirectly publish, make known or in any fashion disclose any confidential records to, or permit any inspection or copying of confidential records by, any individual or entity other than in the course of such individual's or entity's employment or retention by the Company.

You acknowledge and agree that, by virtue of your position, your services and access to and use of confidential records and proprietary information, any violation by you of any of the undertakings contained in this Section 4 would cause the Company and/or its affiliates immediate, substantial and irreparable injury for which it or they have no adequate remedy at law.

Your obligations under this Section 4 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, your obligations under the Employee Handbook or the Code of Ethics. To the extent there is any inconsistency between this Section 4 and the Employee Handbook or the Code of Ethics that would permit you to take any action or engage in any activity pursuant to this Section 4 that you would be barred from taking or engaging in under the Employee Handbook or the Code of Ethics, the Employee Handbook or the Code of Ethics (as applicable) shall control.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(h) Cooperation With Regard to Litigation. You agree to cooperate with the Company, during the Term and thereafter (including following your termination of employment for any reason), by making yourself reasonably available to testify on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any such action suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as reasonably requested. The Company agrees to reimburse you, on an after-tax basis each calendar quarter, for all expenses actually incurred in connection with your provision of testimony or assistance in accordance with the provisions of Section 4(h) of this Agreement (including reasonable attorneys' fees) but not later than the last day of the calendar year in which the expense was incurred (or, in the case of an expense incurred in the final quarter of a calendar year, the next following February 15).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) Non-Disparagement. You shall not, at any time during your employment by the Company and its affiliates and thereafter, make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or otherwise, or take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude you from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Notices**. Every notice or other communication required or contemplated by this Agreement must be in writing and sent by one of the following methods: (1) personal delivery, in which case delivery is deemed to occur the day of delivery; (2) certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, in which case delivery is deemed to occur the day it is officially recorded by the U.S. Postal Service as delivered to the intended recipient; or (3) next day delivery to a U.S. address by recognized overnight delivery service such as Federal Express, in which case delivery is deemed to occur one business day after being sent. In each case, a notice or other communication sent to a party must be directed to the address for that party set forth below, or to another address designated by that party by written notice:

If to the Company, to:

A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc.

2121 Rosecrans, Suite 6300

El Segundo, CA 90245

Attention: General Counsel

If to you, to:

Mr. Brian Aquilino

2121 Rosecrans, Suite 6300

El Segundo, CA 90245

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;6. **Assignability; Binding Effect**. This Agreement is a personal contract calling for the provision of unique services by you, and your rights and obligations hereunder may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated. The rights and obligations of the Company under this Agreement bind and run in favor of the successors and assigns of the Company.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Complete Understanding**. This Agreement (including Exhibits) constitutes the complete understanding between the parties with respect to the employment of you by the Company and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (subject to Section 1 above), both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. The terms of your employment in periods prior to February 1, 2023 were governed by letter agreements between you and the Company as then in effect. The foregoing notwithstanding, your covenants under Sections 4 and the provisions of other Sections of those prior letter agreements applicable to Section 4 remain in effect and enforceable by their terms, and Sections 4 and related Sections of this Letter Agreement constitute renewals of those covenants for which compensation under this Letter Agreement constitutes additional consideration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8. **Amendments; Waivers**. This Agreement may not be amended except by means of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of the Company and you. No waiver by any party of any breach under this Agreement will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Waiver by either party of any breach by the other party will not operate as a waiver of any other breach, whether similar to or different from the breach waived. No delay on the part of the Company or you in the exercise of any of their respective rights or remedies will operate as a waiver of that right (subject, however, to all explicit deadlines set forth in this Agreement).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9. **Severability**. If any provision of this Agreement or its application to any person or circumstances is determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable to any extent, that unenforceable provision will be deemed eliminated to the extent necessary to permit the remaining provisions to be enforced, and the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of the unenforceable provision to other persons or circumstances, will not be affected thereby. If any provision of this Agreement, or any part thereof, is held to be unenforceable because of the scope or duration of or the area covered by that provision, the court making that determination shall reduce the scope, duration of or area covered by that provision or otherwise amend the provision to the minimum extent necessary to make that provision enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;10. **Survivability**. The provisions of this Agreement that by their terms call for performance subsequent to termination of your employment hereunder, or subsequent to the

------

termination of this Agreement, will survive such termination. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provisions of Section 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;11. **Governing Law**. This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to principles of conflict of laws.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;12. **Jurisdiction; Service of Process**. Any action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this Agreement must be brought against any of the parties in the courts of the State of California, Los Angeles County, or, if it has or can acquire jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, and each of the parties consents to the jurisdiction of those courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such action or proceeding and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such action or proceeding may be served by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 5. Nothing in this Section 12, however, affects the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law. Each party hereto waives trial by jury.

The undersigned hereby execute this Agreement on the date stated in the introductory clause.

Exhibit A

**A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc.**

**Stock Option Agreement**

This Stock Option Agreement (the "Agreement") which includes the attached "Terms and Conditions of Option Grant" confirms the grant, effective February 1, 2023, by A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("A-Mark"), to Brian Aquilino ("Grantee"), of a non-qualified stock option (the "Option") to purchase shares of A-Mark Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), as set forth below. The Option is granted under Section 6(b) of the A-Mark 2014 Stock Award and Incentive Plan, as amended, and under Section 2(d) of the Employment Agreement between Grantee and A-Mark effective February 1, 2023 (the "Employment Agreement"), in consideration of Grantee's entry into such Employment Agreement and his service to A-Mark in an executive capacity.

The principal terms of the Option granted hereby are as follows (subject to adjustment in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement):

Shares purchasable: 10,000 A-Mark Shares

Exercise Price and Stated Vesting Dates:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Option - Number of Underlying Shares <br>| &nbsp;&nbsp;Exercise Price Per-Share of the Option | &nbsp;&nbsp;Stated Vesting and Exercisability Dates \* |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 10000 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $39.69 | &nbsp;&nbsp;50% on June 30, 2024 and the remainder on June 30, 2025<br>|

---

The Option will become vested and exercisable, in whole or in part, on an accelerated basis upon the occurrence of certain events relating to Termination of Employment, in accordance with Section 4 hereof, and will become fully vested and exercisable upon a Change in Control, as defined in Section 8 of the Plan.

Expiration Date: The Option will expire at 11:59 PM on February 1, 2033 (the "Stated Expiration Date"); provided, however, that the Option is subject to termination prior to the Stated Expiration Date upon or following a Termination of Employment, in accordance with Section 4 hereof. The occurrence of a Change in Control of A-Mark does not by itself affect the expiration or termination of the Option. If, at the date on which the Option or any portion thereof are to expire or terminate, the Fair Market Value of a Share exceeds the Exercise Price and if the Option or portion thereof that will expire or terminate is otherwise vested and exercisable, the Option or portion thereof that will expire or terminate will be automatically exercised by the withholding of Option Shares to pay the exercise price and applicable withholding taxes.

The Option is subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, including the Terms and Conditions of Option Grant attached hereto and deemed a part hereof. The number and kind of Shares purchasable, the Exercise Price, and other terms and conditions are subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10(c) of the Plan. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan.

------

Grantee acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Option is nontransferable as set forth in Section 5 hereof and Section 10(b) of the Plan, (ii) the Option is subject to early termination in the event of Grantee's Termination of Employment in certain circumstances, as specified in Section 4 hereof, and (iii) the sale of Shares under this Option and resales of the Shares will be subject to compliance with applicable Federal and state securities laws, and with A-Mark's policies governing trading in Shares by employees.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, A-Mark has caused this Agreement to be executed by its officer thereunto duly authorized.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTION GRANT

The following Terms and Conditions apply to the Option granted to Grantee by A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. ("A-Mark"), as specified in the Stock Option Agreement (of which these Terms and Conditions form a part). Certain specific terms and conditions of the Option, including the number of A-Mark Shares purchasable, vesting terms and conditions, Expiration Date and Exercise Price, are set forth on the cover page hereto, which is an integral part of this Agreement.

. **General**. The Option is granted to Grantee under the A-Mark 2014 Stock Award and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which has previously been delivered to Grantee and/or is available upon request to the General Counsel of A-Mark. All of the applicable terms, conditions and other provisions of the Plan are incorporated by reference herein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not defined herein shall have the same meanings as in the Plan. If there is any conflict between the provisions of this document and mandatory provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan govern. By accepting the grant of the Option, Grantee agrees to be bound by all of the terms and provisions of the Plan (as presently in effect or later amended), the rules and regulations under the Plan adopted from time to time, and the decisions and determinations of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Committee") made from time to time. The Option is a non-qualified stock Option (not an incentive stock option as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended).

. **Right to Exercise Option**. Subject to all applicable laws, rules, regulations and the terms of the Plan and this Agreement, Grantee may exercise the Option at such time or times and to the extent the Option has become vested and exercisable, as specified on the cover page hereto, and prior to or on the applicable Stated Expiration Date of the Option (but not after any termination, forfeiture or expiration of the Option prior to the Stated Expiration Date).

. **Method of Exercise**. To exercise the Option or any part thereof, Grantee must (a) give written notice to the Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel of A-Mark, which notice shall specifically refer to this Agreement, identify the Option, state the number of A-Mark Shares as to which the Option is being exercised and the Exercise Price relating to the Option or portion thereof being exercised, and any instructions relating to issuance of the A-Mark Shares, which notice shall be signed by Grantee, (b) pay in full to A-Mark the applicable Exercise Price of the Option for the number of A-Mark Shares being purchased in cash (including by check), payable in United States dollars, or by tender of A-Mark Shares owned by Grantee having a then Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price, or by any other payment method then permitted by A-Mark under the Plan, and (c), unless this requirement is waived by A-Mark, deliver an investment representation statement in the form requested by A-Mark if the offer and sale of the A-Mark Shares is not then registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission under an effective registration statement. Once Grantee gives notice of exercise, such notice may not be revoked. When Grantee validly exercises an Option, or part thereof, A-Mark will transfer A-Mark Shares to Grantee in certificated form or make such a transfer (or make a non-certificated credit) to Grantee's brokerage account at a designated securities brokerage firm or otherwise deliver A-Mark Shares to Grantee. Grantee shall not have at any time any rights with respect to A-Mark Shares covered by this Agreement prior to the valid exercise as specified herein, and no adjustment shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to such valid exercise except as provided in the Plan and this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. **Termination Provisions**. The following provisions will govern the vesting, exercisability and expiration of the Option in the event of Grantee's Termination of Employment

------

at a time that the Option remains outstanding, unless the Committee determines to provide more favorable terms:

(a) Death or Disability. In the event of Grantee's Termination of Employment due to death or Disability (as defined below), a pro-rata portion (determined in accordance with Section 4(f) below) of the Option (if not previously vested) will become vested, with the remaining unvested portion of the Option forfeited, and the vested portion of the Option will be and remain exercisable until the earlier of two years after such Termination of Employment or the Stated Expiration Date, at which time the Option will terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Termination by A-Mark Without Cause. In the event of Grantee's Termination of Employment by A-Mark without Cause (as defined below), the Option (if not previously vested) will become vested in full, and the vested Option will be and remain exercisable until the earlier of three years after such Termination of Employment or the Stated Expiration Date, at which time the Option will terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) Termination by A-Mark for Cause. In the event of Employee's Termination of Employment by A-Mark for Cause (as defined below), the Option immediately will terminate.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Termination by the Employee Voluntarily. In the event of Employee's voluntary Termination of Employment, the Option, to the extent vested at the date of Termination, will remain exercisable until the earlier of three months after Termination of Employment or the Stated Expiration Date, at which time the Option will terminate, and with any unvested portion of the Option forfeited at the date of Termination.

(e) Certain Definitions. The following definitions apply for purposes of this Agreement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) "Cause" means the occurrence of any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Grantee's neglect or failure or refusal to perform his duties under his Employment Agreement (other than as a result of total or partial incapacity or disability due to physical or mental illness);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Any intentional act by or omission of Grantee that materially injures the reputation or business of the Company or any of its affiliates, or his own reputation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) Grantee's conviction (including conviction on a nolo contendere plea) of a felony or any crime involving, in the good faith judgment of the Company, fraud, dishonesty or moral turpitude;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4) The breach of an obligation under Section 4 of the Employment Agreement or any other material breach of the Employment Agreement or this Agreement; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(5) Any material violation of the Company's Code of Ethics, as may be amended from time to time (the "Code of Ethics").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) "Termination of Employment" means the earliest time at which Grantee is employed by neither A-Mark nor a subsidiary of A-Mark and is not serving as a Director of A-Mark.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) Determination of Pro-Rata Portion. For purposes of Section 4(a), the pro-rata portion of an Option that is to become vested will be the number of Option Shares that would become vested if employment continued through the next scheduled Vesting Date multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days from the last previous Vesting Date (or, if no portion of the Option has vested, from the grant date) through the date of Termination of Employment and the denominator of which is the total number of days from the last previous Vesting Date (or, if no portion of the Option has vested, from the grant date) to such next scheduled Vesting Date.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5. **Non-transferability**. Grantee may not transfer the Option or any rights hereunder to any third party other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution and, during Grantee's lifetime, only Grantee or his or her duly appointed guardian or legal representative may exercise the Option, except for transfers to a Beneficiary in the event of death or as otherwise permitted and subject to the conditions under Section 10(b) of the Plan.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7. **Miscellaneous**.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) Binding Agreement; Written Amendments. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and any successors, heirs, executors or administrators of the parties. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Option, and supersedes any prior agreements or documents with respect to the Option. No amendment or alteration of this Agreement that may impose any additional obligation upon A-Mark shall be valid unless expressed in a written instrument duly executed in the name of A-Mark, and no amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of this Agreement that materially impairs the rights of Grantee with respect to the Option shall be valid unless expressed in a written instrument executed by Grantee.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) No Promise of Employment. The Option and the granting thereof shall not constitute or be evidence of an agreement or understanding, express or implied, that Grantee has a right to continue as an officer or employee of A-Mark or any subsidiary for any period of time, or at any particular rate of compensation.

(c) Governing Law. The validity, construction, and effect of this Agreement shall be determined in accordance with the laws (including those governing contracts) of the state of Delaware, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws, and applicable federal law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Tax Withholding. Grantee must make arrangements satisfactory to A-Mark to pay or provide for payment of withholding taxes due upon exercise of the Option.

Exhibit 99.1

**A-Mark Precious Metals Reports Fiscal Second Quarter 2023 Results**

**Q2 FY 2023 Diluted Earnings Per Share of $1.35 up from $1.30 in Q2 FY 2022**

**230% YoY Increase in New Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) Customers, including customers acquired from BGASC**

**El Segundo, CA – February 6, 2023 – A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK)**, a leading fully integrated precious metals platform, reported results for the fiscal second quarter ended December 31, 2022.

**Management Commentary** 

"Our second quarter results continue to demonstrate the strength of our fully integrated precious metals platform," said A-Mark CEO Greg Roberts. "Despite the subdued market conditions we experienced during the latter half of the quarter, our diversified business model enabled us to deliver positive financial results, including a 6% quarterly return on equity and EBITDA of nearly $49 million. Our DTC segment contributed significantly to our overall results, representing 57% of the consolidated gross profit for the quarter and reporting a 130 basis point increase in our DTC gross margin percentage year-over-year.

"We have remained active in seeking investment opportunities to strategically enhance our business. As we announced last month, we purchased a 12% minority interest in Texas Precious Metals, LLC, a leading e-commerce precious metals retailer with a strong geographic presence in Texas. Last week, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire a 25% minority interest in Atkinsons Bullion & Coins, a leading United Kingdom-based online retailer of precious metals, bullion and coins. This investment transaction, which is expected to close in the first quarter of calendar 2023 (subject to customary closing conditions), expands our international footprint outside of North America. Additionally, as we announced previously, JM Bullion closed the asset acquisition of BGASC during the second quarter. We are encouraged by the performance of the now fully integrated BGASC brand and the customer base we acquired. Our overall DTC business continues to grow and remains a key contributor to our overall business.

"Our minting business has remained a consistent driver for our performance with production levels continuing at near record levels. Some sovereign mints continue to face challenges to meet demand due to supply chain constraints, elevating the value and importance of A-Mark as a reliable and low-cost producer.

"Looking ahead, we remain confident in the stability of our fully integrated precious metals platform, which has historically generated positive results even in more modest market conditions, with the opportunity for outsized returns in periods of elevated volatility. We continue to explore additional strategic investment and acquisition opportunities to further enhance our platform and business model."

**Fiscal Second Quarter 2023 Financial Summary**

Revenues increased 0.2% to $1.950 billion from $1.946 billion in the same year-ago quarter due to an increase in silver ounces sold, partially offset by a decrease in gold ounces sold and lower average selling prices of gold and silver.

The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 23% and 28% of the consolidated revenue in the fiscal second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. JMB's revenue represented 21% of the consolidated revenues for the fiscal second quarter of 2023 compared with 25% for the prior year fiscal second quarter.

Gross profit decreased 3% to $64.0 million (3.28% of revenue) from $65.9 million (3.39% of revenue) in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease in gross profit was due to lower gross profits earned from the Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services and Direct-to-Consumer segments. The Direct-to-Consumer segment contributed 57% and 56% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal second quarters of 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gross profit contributed by JMB represented 51% of the consolidated gross profit in the fiscal second quarter of 2023 and 45% of the consolidated gross profit for the prior year fiscal second quarter.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% to $20.8 million from $18.7 million in the same year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense (including performance-based accruals) of $1.5 million, higher advertising costs of $1.2 million, an increase in insurance costs of $0.8 million, an increase in computer-related expenses of $0.3 million, partially offset by lower consulting and professional fees of $1.7 million.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased 61% to $3.3 million from $8.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The change was primarily due to a $5.0 million decrease in JMB's intangible asset amortization expense.

Interest income decreased 5% to $5.0 million from $5.3 million in the same year-ago quarter. The aggregate decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower interest income earned by our Secured Lending segment, offset by higher other finance product income.

Interest expense increased 34% to $7.2 million from $5.4 million in the same year-ago quarter. The increase in interest expense was primarily driven by $1.2 million associated with the Company's Trading Credit Facility and the AMCF Notes (including amortization of debt issuance costs), $0.7 million related to product financing arrangements, $0.2 million in interest associated with liabilities on borrowed metals, offset by a decrease of $0.2 million of loan servicing fees.

Earnings from equity method investments increased 283% to $4.7 million from $1.2 million in the same year-ago quarter. The net increase was primarily due to our additional 40% ownership interest in Silver Gold Bull, Inc. acquired in June 2022.

Net income attributable to the Company totaled $33.5 million or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to net income of $31.8 million or $1.30 per diluted share in the same year-ago quarter, adjusted for the effect of the two-for-one stock split that occurred in June 2022.

Adjusted net income before provision for income taxes for the three months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $46.5 million, a decrease of $2.5 million or 5% compared to $49.0 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease is principally due to a lower adjustment for amortization of acquired intangibles of $5.1 million, partly offset by $2.5 million of higher net income before provision for income taxes.

EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2022 totaled $48.7 million, a decrease of $0.4 million or 1% compared to $49.1 million in the same year-ago quarter. The decrease was principally due to lower amortization of acquired intangibles of $5.1 million, partially offset by higher net income of $1.7 million, higher interest expense of $1.8 million, and higher income tax expense of $0.8 million.

**About A-Mark Precious Metals**

Founded in 1965, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRK) is a leading fully integrated precious metals platform that offers an array of gold, silver, platinum, palladium, and copper bullion, numismatic coins, and related products to wholesale and retail customers via a portfolio of channels. The company conducts its operations through three complementary segments: Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services, Direct-to-Consumer, and Secured Lending. The company's global customer base spans sovereign and private mints, manufacturers and fabricators, refiners, dealers, financial institutions, industrial users, investors, collectors, and e-commerce and other retail customers.

A-Mark's Wholesale Sales & Ancillary Services segment distributes and purchases precious metal products from sovereign and private mints. As a U.S. Mint-authorized purchaser of gold, silver, and platinum coins since 1986, A-Mark purchases bullion products directly from the U.S. Mint for sale to customers. A-Mark also has longstanding distributorships with other sovereign mints, including Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Mexico, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. The company sells more than 200 different products to e-commerce retailers, coin and bullion dealers, financial institutions, brokerages, and collectors. In addition, A-Mark sells precious metal products to industrial users, including metal refiners, manufacturers, and electronic fabricators.

Through its A-M Global Logistics subsidiary, A-Mark provides its customers with a range of complementary services, including managed storage options for precious metals as well as receiving, handling, inventorying, processing, packaging, and shipping of precious metals and coins on a secure basis. A-Mark's mint operations, which are conducted through its wholly owned subsidiary SilverTowne Mint, enable the company to offer customers a wide range of proprietary coin and bar offerings and, during periods of market volatility when the availability of silver bullion from sovereign mints is often product constrained, preferred product access.

A-Mark's Direct-to-Consumer segment operates as an omni-channel retailer of precious metals, providing access to a multitude of products through its wholly owned subsidiaries, JM Bullion and Goldline. JM Bullion is a leading e-commerce retailer of precious metals and operates six separately branded, company-owned websites targeting specific niches within the precious metals market: JMBullion.com, ProvidentMetals.com, Silver.com, GoldPrice.org, SilverPrice.org and BGASC.com. JMB also owns CyberMetals.com, an online platform where customers can purchase and sell fractional shares of digital gold, silver, platinum and palladium bars in a range of denominations. Goldline markets precious metals directly to the investor community through various channels, including television, radio, and telephonic sales efforts. A-Mark also holds minority ownership interests in three additional direct-to-consumer brands.

The company operates its Secured Lending segment through its wholly owned subsidiaries, Collateral Finance Corporation (CFC) and AM Capital Funding. Founded in 2005, CFC is a California licensed finance lender that originates and acquires loans secured by bullion and numismatic coins. Its customers include coin and precious metal dealers, investors, and collectors. AM Capital Funding was formed in 2018 for the purpose of securitizing eligible secured loans of CFC.

A-Mark is headquartered in El Segundo, CA and has additional offices and facilities in the neighboring Los Angeles area as well as in Dallas, TX, Las Vegas, NV, Winchester, IN, and Vienna, Austria. For more information, visit www.amark.com.

**Important Cautions Regarding Forward-Looking Statements**

Statements in this press release that relate to future plans, objectives, expectations, performance, events and the like are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These include statements regarding expectations regarding the dividend declaration, the amount or timing of any future dividends, future macroeconomic conditions and demand for precious metal products, and the Company's ability to effectively respond to changing economic conditions. Future events, risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause actual results or circumstances to differ materially from those expressed or implied in these statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ include the following: the failure to execute the Company's growth strategy, including the inability to identify suitable or available acquisition or investment opportunities; greater than anticipated costs incurred to execute this strategy; changes in the current international political climate, which has favorably contributed to demand and volatility in the precious metals markets; potential adverse effects of the current problems in the national and global supply chains; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the closing of the investment in Atkinsons Bullion & Coins; increased competition for the Company's higher margin services, which could depress pricing; the failure of the Company's business model to respond to changes in the market environment as anticipated; changes in consumer demand and preferences for precious metal products generally; potential negative effects that inflationary pressure may have on our business; the failure of our investee companies to maintain, or address the preferences of, their customer bases; general risks of doing business in the commodity markets; the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the eventual return to normalized business and economic conditions; and the strategic, business, economic, financial, political and governmental risks and other Risk Factors described in in the Company's public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The words "should," "believe," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "foresee," "plan" and similar expressions and variations thereof identify certain of such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they were made. Additionally, any statements related to future performance or future payment of dividends are forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

**Use and Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial and Liquidity Measures**

In addition to presenting the Company's financial results determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, management believes the following non-GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company's operating performance: "adjusted net income before provision for income taxes" and "earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization" ("EBITDA"). Management believes the "adjusted net income before provision for income taxes" non-GAAP financial measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison of period-to-period operational performance on a consistent basis by excluding items that management does not believe are indicative of the Company's core operating performance. The items excluded from this financial measure may have a material impact on the Company's financial results. Certain of those items are non-recurring, while others are non-cash in nature. Management believes the EBITDA non-GAAP liquidity measure assists investors and analysts by facilitating comparison with other publicly traded companies. Non-GAAP measures do not have standardized definitions and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, the comparable measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to be filed with the SEC. Management encourages investors and others to review the Company's financial information in its entirety and not to rely on any single financial or liquidity measure.

In the Company's reconciliation from its reported U.S. GAAP "net income before provision for income taxes" to its non-GAAP "adjusted net income before provision for income taxes", the Company eliminates the impact of the following three amounts: (i) acquisition expenses; (ii) amortization expenses related to intangible assets acquired; and (iii) depreciation expense. The Company's reconciliations from its reported U.S. GAAP "net cash provided by (used in) operating activities" to its non-GAAP
