**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement**

On October 28, 2025, Siebert Financial Corp. (the "Company") entered into Membership Interest Purchase Agreements with certain employees, directors and affiliates of the Company and RISE Financial Services, LLC ("RISE"), a subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to which the Company purchased the remaining 32% of the limited liability membership interests in RISE that the Company did not previously own, including 24% that were owned by Gloria E. Gebbia, a director of the Company. The aggregate purchase price was $3.7 million. Following the consummation of the transactions, RISE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The purpose of this transaction is to effect a capital restructuring of RISE within the Company's consolidated group and to support potential strategic opportunities at RISE. The purchase price was the carrying value of each membership interest acquired and, therefore, represented a return of capital to the selling holders. The purchase price was the same for employees and non-employee holders; continued employment was not a condition to receive proceeds and there were no side agreements, liquidity support or other non-equity consideration expected. RISE has been largely inactive since its acquisition; however, the Company believes that its 100% ownership of RISE benefits the Company's shareholders as the Company positions itself to evaluate and pursue future opportunities at RISE.

The foregoing description of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified by reference, to the full text of the Form of Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.51 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

WHEREAS, terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Amended Operating Agreement.

**<u>AGREEMENT:</u>**

In consideration of the mutual covenants and representations herein set forth, Investor, RISE Financial and SFC, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. <u>Purchase and Sale of the Units</u>.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, SFC shall purchase, and Investor shall sell and transfer to SFC, limited liability company membership interests in RISE Financial ("<u>Units</u>"), which represent approximately ([PERCENT]%) of the issued and outstanding Units, at a price per Unit of [UNIT PRICE] ($[UNIT PRICE]) for an aggregate purchase price of [AGGREGATE AMOUNT] ($[AGGREGATE AMOUNT]) (the "<u>Purchase Price</u>"). The parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchase Price represents the carrying price of the Units and a return of capital invested in RISE Financial to the Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.2. <u>Closing</u>. The Closing shall take place upon full satisfaction or waiver of each closing condition (the "<u>Closing</u>") which shall be deemed to have occurred upon the execution by each of the parties to this Agreement. At the Closing, SFC shall deliver the Purchase Price to Investor, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Investor, and Investor shall deliver to SFC the Units together with any unit powers requested by Investor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.3. <u>Withholding</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Investor, any of its affiliates and their respective agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from any amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as they determine are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under any provision of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended or provision of applicable law. To the extent any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
