<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">The following results are estimates of the Company&rsquo;s
operating results from continuing operations. As a result of the securitization of the brands operations and equity investments (the &ldquo;Brands
Transaction&rdquo;), these operating results are expected to be reported as discontinued operations. In addition, with the pending sale
of 53% of the Great American (&ldquo;GA&rdquo;) businesses the previous reported results of the Company&rsquo;s retail liquidations, appraisal
and real estate consulting operations are also expected to be reported as discontinued operations. The Brands Transaction which closed
subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2024 resulted in the Company receiving approximately $236 million of proceeds upon closing
the transaction on October 25, 2024. Proceeds from this transaction of approximately $22 million were used to pay off bebe&rsquo;s stores,
inc. credit facility and $171 million was used to pay down the Nomura credit facility which reduced the balance from approximately $388
million to $217 million. In addition, the sale of the 53% interest in the GA businesses for $203 million is expected to close on November
15, 2024. Approximately $92 million of such proceeds is expected to further pay down the Nomura credit facility balance to $125 million.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Net loss available to common shareholders from continuing
operations is expected to be in the range of $130 million to $135 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 or a loss of
$4.26 to $4.43 per diluted common share. The loss from continuing operations is due in part to non-cash items including a decrease of
approximately $120 million in the valuation of the Company&rsquo;s investment in Freedom VCM, the indirect parent entity for Franchise
Group (&ldquo;FRG&rdquo;), and the loan to Vintage Capital Management, LLC, and a charge of approximately $10 million related to a valuation
allowance for deferred income taxes.</P>

is expected to be approximately $159 million at September 30, 2024, a decrease of $69 million from $228 million at June 30, 2024. The

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Total loans receivable, securities and other investments owned and amounts
due from clearing brokers from continuing operations is expected to be approximately $530 million to $540 million at September 30, 2024,
a decrease of approximately $105 million to $115 million from approximately $645 million at June 30, 2024. The Company also expects to
report liabilities of $3 million for securities sold short, not yet purchased and $4 million of loan participations sold at September
30, 2024. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2024 includes fair value adjustments resulting in a decrease of approximately
$120 million related to the valuation of the Company&rsquo;s investment in Freedom VCM, the indirect parent entity for Franchise Group
(&ldquo;FRG&rdquo;), and the Company&rsquo;s loan to Vintage Capital Management, LLC (&ldquo;VCM&rdquo;). As a result of the bankruptcy
filing of Freedom VCM (and the operating company Franchise Group, Inc.) on November 3, 2024, the carrying value of the VCM Loan has been
reduced to the collateral value of certain equity securities which is approximately $2 million and the investment in Freedom VCM has been
fully reserved.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">These amounts do not reflect approximately $500 million

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">Total debt is expected to be approximately $2.06 billion
at September 30, 2024, a decrease of approximately $100 million from approximately $2.16 billion at June 30, 2024. This decrease includes
approximately $82 million reduction in the outstanding balance for principal payments made on the Nomura credit facility during the quarter.
The Company also made additional principal payments to reduce the Nomura term loan by approximately $171 million in November 2024 using
proceeds received from the Brand Transaction that closed on October 25, 2024. The Company also expects to make principal payments upon
closing the sale of the 53% interest in the GA businesses in November 2024 in the amount of approximately $92 million which is expected
to further reduce the Nomura term loan balance to approximately $125 million. After these transactions, total debt is expected to be approximately
$1.8 billion.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify">At September 30, 2024, the Company expects to report
assets held for sale that relate to discontinued operations in the amount of approximately $290 million to $300 million and liabilities
held for sale of approximately $20 million to $30 million. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company expects to report
a loss from discontinued operations of $140 million to $145 million or a loss of $4.59 to $4.75 per diluted common share. The loss from
discontinued operations includes approximately $150 million to $155 million of fair value adjustments related to the expected future deconsolidation
of the brands operations and equity investments related to the $189 million of cash proceeds received from the securitization of the brands
assets by the Company and $47 million of cash proceeds from the sale of brand equity investments owned by bebe stores, inc., a majority
owned subsidiary of the Company. On a consolidated basis the combined loss from continuing and discontinued operations is expected to
be approximately $270 million to $280 million or a loss of $8.85 to $9.18 per diluted common share. These amounts are for the quarter
ended September 30, 2024 and do not include an estimated gain in the amount of approximately $235 million to $250 million or $7.70 to
$8.20 per diluted share from the sale of a 53% interest in the GA businesses that is expected to close in November 2024.</P>
