**Forward Looking Statements**

This Current Report on Form 8-K and its exhibits (collectively, this "<u>Current Report</u>") contain forward-looking statements within the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, made by, or respecting, the Corporation and its subsidiaries. "Forward-looking statements" are defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "<u>Securities Act</u>") and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, and other applicable federal and state securities laws, rules and regulations, as amended.

Readers can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Words such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "anticipate," "continue," "plan," "project," or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Corporation in this Current Report on Form 8-K may include (without limitation) statements regarding: risks, uncertainties, cautions, circumstances and other factors ("<u>Risks</u>"). Those Risks include (without limitation): the uncertainty of the contents and submission timing of the Corporation's compliance plan regarding failure to file its Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025, or Nasdaq's acceptance of it; potential non-compliance with applicable Nasdaq rules regarding the filing of periodic financial reports, director independence, bid price or other rules; the impact of selling certain of the Corporation's subsidiaries or any resulting impact on revenues, earnings or cash; the Company's cash flows or financial condition; and plans, intentions, expectations.

For additional information and risk factors that could affect SPAR Group, see its 2024 Annual Report and other SEC Reports as filed with the SEC. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K is made only as of the date hereof, even if subsequently made available by the Corporation on its website or otherwise.

You should carefully review and consider the Corporation's forward-looking statements (including all risk factors and other cautions and uncertainties) and other information made, contained or noted in or incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K, but you should not place undue reliance on any of them. The results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company (including its affiliates, assets, business, clients, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, legal costs, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks, trends or condition) and other events and circumstances planned, intended, anticipated, estimated or otherwise expected by the Company (collectively, "<u>Expectations</u>"), and our forward-looking statements (including all Risks) and other information reflect the Corporation's current views about future events and circumstances. Although the Corporation believes those Expectations and views are reasonable, the results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company or other events and circumstances may differ materially from our Expectations and views, and they cannot be assured or guaranteed by the Corporation, since they are subject to Risks and other assumptions, changes in circumstances and unpredictable events (many of which are beyond the Corporation's control). In addition, new Risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Corporation to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Accordingly, the Corporation cannot assure you that its Expectations will be achieved in whole or in part, that it has identified all potential Risks, or that it can successfully avoid or mitigate such Risks in whole or in part, any of which could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Corporation's common stock.

These forward-looking statements reflect the Corporation's Expectations, views, Risks and assumptions only as of the date hereof, and the Corporation does not intend, assume any obligation, or promise to publicly update or revise any forward- looking statements (including any Risks or Expectations) or other information (in whole or in part), whether as a result of new information, new or worsening Risks or uncertainties, changed circumstances, future events, recognition, or otherwise.
