I.<u>Retirement of Mr. Gross and Appointment of Mr. Fall to the Company's Board of Directors</u> <u>(as disclosed in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 2, 2023).</u>

Departure of Director

On January 31, 2023, Patrick W. Gross, a member of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Liquidity Services, Inc. (the "Company"), a member of the Audit Committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee"), the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board, and the Company's Lead Independent Director, notified the Company of his intention to retire effective February 1, 2023. Mr. Gross has served as a director of the Company since February 2001 and is retiring consistent with the Company's succession plan to accommodate the onboarding of new directors. Mr. Gross's departure from the Board was not as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.

Following the departure of Mr. Gross, the Company's independent directors elected Beatriz V. Infante as the Lead Independent Director effective February 1, 2023. Ms. Infante has served on the Board since 2015 and is currently the Chair of the Compensation Committee of the Board and a member of the Audit Committee.
