Ranked separately for each type of Form N-PX report.

Each is ranked by the shares voted on the item that the most managers of that type reported, shown as a share of the 30,597,066 shares outstanding at the time of that meeting.

Percentages above are of 30,597,066 shares outstanding, as reported by B. RILEY FINANCIAL INC. on its Form 10-Q dated November 17, 2025 (see the filing on EDGAR). This is the count contemporaneous with the 2023-2024 meeting, not today’s. Each holding is as of its own filing, which may be dated before or after the meeting.
Every figure above is derived from filings made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission: Form N-PX, in which registered funds disclose how they voted every proxy and institutional managers disclose their votes on executive pay (say-on-pay, say-on-frequency and golden parachutes), and Form 8-K Item 5.07, in which the company reports its own meeting results. Shares outstanding are taken from B. RILEY FINANCIAL INC.’s 10-Q dated November 17, 2025.
