        <footnote id="F2">BRF is the parent company of BRPI. As a result, BRF may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities of theMaven, Inc. (the &quot;Issuer&quot;) held of record by BRPI. BRF is the parent company of BRFI. As a result, BRF may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held of record by BRFI. BRF expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein held indirectly except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">Bryant Riley, as Chief Executive Officer of BRCM and Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of BRF, has voting power and dispositive power over the securities of the Issuer held of record by BRPI and BRFI. As a result, Bryant Riley may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities of the Issuer held of record by BRPI and BRFI. Mr. Riley expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities of the Issuer reported herein held indirectly except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">Subject to the conversion limitation described in the next sentence, the reported security is convertible into common stock of the Issuer at any time, and has no expiration date, but is subject to mandatory conversion on the fifth anniversary of the issuance date. The reported security is subject to a conversion limitation that prohibits the Issuer from effecting a conversion of the reported security into common stock if giving effect to the conversion would cause the holder to beneficially own (together with its affiliates or any &quot;group&quot; members) in excess of 4.99% of the common stock (or, upon notice by the holder, in excess of 9.99% of the common stock).</footnote>

Riley over the assets of BRC Partners Opportunity Fund, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (&quot;BRPLP&quot;), BRF, BRCM and Bryant R. Riley no longer may be deemed to beneficially own the shares held by BRPLP.</remarks>
