Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2025 Financial Results to be Released by March 31, 2026

LOS ANGELES, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BRC Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: RILY) ("BRCGH" or the "Company"), today announced a series of transactions with a long-time institutional investor pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, which will, upon closing of the final transaction, result in the cancellation of 1,343,551 units of its publicly-traded senior notes across multiple outstanding series in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 4,201,300 shares of the Company's common stock at an average price of $7.0933 per share. 

In addition, the Company repurchased 171,703 units of its 5.0% senior notes due 2026 (RILYG) for approximately $4.0 million in cash. Upon closing of these transactions, these publicly-traded senior notes will no longer be outstanding. Upon closing of the final 3(a)(9) transaction scheduled for March 13, 2026, the Company's outstanding debt will be reduced by approximately $37.9 million.

As previously announced, on March 30, 2026, the Company will also redeem its 5.50% Senior Notes due 2026 (RILYK) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $96 million.

Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of BRCGH, said: "These senior note transactions, combined with continued appreciation in our investment portfolio, have further reduced our net debt position beyond the preliminary estimates communicated for December 31, 2025. We will continue to utilize multiple strategies to reduce debt and invest in our business.

"The Company values the enormous effort required by its team and business partners to file three Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q between November 20, 2025 and January 14, 2026.  Bringing these filings current while driving strong progress on our annual audit in an accelerated timeframe demonstrates the strength and resolve of our team — and positions us well for the road ahead. We look forward to discussing the Company and taking questions on the earnings call by the end of March."

With our new auditor onboarding late in September 2025, and the subsequent filing of the Quarterly Reports for Q1, Q2 and Q3 2025, the Company determined it requires additional time to complete and file its 2025 Annual Report.  By filing the Notification of Late Filing on Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by March 17, 2026,  the deadline to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K will be automatically extended by 15 additional days. The Company expects to file its 2025 Annual Report on or before the extended deadline of March 31, 2026, and to announce the timing of its earnings release and earnings call next week.
