The Company presents a disposition of a component, being an operating or reportable segment, business unit, subsidiary or asset group, that represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. The following operations have been presented as discontinued operations.

On October 25, 2024, the Company completed a transaction whereby the Company contributed and transferred its controlling equity interest in the assets and intellectual properties related to the licenses of Catherine Malandrino, English Laundry, Joan Vass, Kensie Girl, Limited Too and Nanette Lepore (or “Six Brands”), which were previously consolidated in the Company's financial statements, and the noncontrolling equity interests the Company owned in the assets and intellectual properties of Hurley, Justice, and Scotch & Soda (collectively with Six Brands the “Brands Interests”), which the Company had elected to account for the equity investments under the fair value option, into a securitization financing vehicle in exchange for $189,300 in net proceeds. The Company accounted for this transfer of financial assets as a sale. During the year ended December 31, 2024, upon deconsolidation of the Six Brands, the Company recognized a loss on disposal of discontinued operations of $(40,782) and the Company recognized a write-down in the fair value of the equity investments in Hurley, Justice, and Scotch & Soda of $(87,810) that is reported in realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments in discontinued operations below. In addition, the Company’s ownership interest in the Brand Interests will be reported as a non-controlling equity investment that is estimated to have a nominal value as a result of the liquidation preferences and notes that were issued as part of the secured financing.

Additionally, in connection with the Brands Interests contribution and transfer noted above, the Company entered into a membership interest purchase agreement dated October 25, 2024, whereby the Company’s subsidiary bebe sold its limited liability company equity interests in BB Brand Holdings and BKST Brand Management (the “bebe Brands”), which the Company had elected to account for the equity investments in the bebe Brands under the fair value option for $46,624 in net cash proceeds. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a write-down in fair value of equity investment in the bebe Brands of $(21,386) that is reported in realized and unrealized (losses) gains on investments in discontinued operations below. Upon closing of the bebe Brands sale, proceeds of $22,188 was used to pay off the then outstanding balance of the bebe Credit Agreement in full (see Note 10 - Term Loans and Revolving Credit Facility) and $224 of loan-related pay off expenses. Collectively, the bebe Brands sale and the contribution and transfer of Brands Interest comprise the Brands Transaction.

The Brands Interests and bebe Brands were historically reported within All Other category - generating operating revenues from the Company's majority owned subsidiary that licenses the trademarks and intellectual properties from Six Brands. The bebe Brands equity investments also generated other income from dividends the Company received from the equity ownership of investments that range from 10% to 50% in companies that license the trademark and intellectual property of bebe and Brookstone brands (equity ownership of bebe stores, inc., our majority owned subsidiary).

The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the divestiture of the brand assets, including the fair value adjustments and dividends received from the brand assets significance to the overall net income and earnings per share, and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met. As such, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Prior period amounts have been adjusted to reflect discontinued operations presentation. The Company has no significant continuing involvement with operations and management of the Brands Interests and bebe Brands post-disposition.

On October 13, 2024, the Company entered into an equity purchase agreement, (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), to sell a 52.6% ownership stake in the Appraisal and Valuation Services, Real Estate, and Retail, Wholesale & Industrial Solutions businesses (collectively, the "Great American Group") to Oaktree. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, the Equity Purchase Agreement, the Company conducted an internal reorganization and contributed all of the interests in the “Great American Group”, to Great American Holdings, LLC, a newly formed holding company ("Great American NewCo"). At the closing on November 15, 2024, (i) Oaktree received (a) all of the outstanding class A preferred limited liability units of Great American NewCo (which will have a 7.5% cash coupon and a 7.5% payment-in-kind coupon) (the “Class A Preferred Units”) and (b) common limited liability units of Great American NewCo (the “Common Units”)

representing 52.6% of the issued and outstanding common limited liability units in Great American NewCo for a purchase price of approximately $203,000 (with an initial liquidation preference of approximately $203,000). The Company retains (a) 93.2% of the issued and outstanding class B preferred limited liability company units of Great American NewCo (which will have a 2.3% payment-in-kind coupon and an initial aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $183,000) (the “Class B Preferred Units”) and (b) 44.2% of the issued and outstanding Common Units. The remaining 6.8% of issued and outstanding Class B Preferred Units and 3.2% of issued and outstanding Common Units will be held by certain minority investors. The Company accounts for its non-controlling equity interest in Great American NewCo using the equity method of accounting (refer to Note 2(m) - Equity Method Investment) with its carrying value included in the “Prepaid expenses and other assets” line item in the consolidated balance sheets (refer to Note 7 - Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets).

The Great American Group, which was historically reported within the Auction and Liquidation segment—providing auction and liquidation services to help clients dispose of assets that include multi-location retail inventory, wholesale inventory, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, intellectual property, and real property—and within the Financial Consulting segment—offering bankruptcy, financial advisory, forensic accounting, real estate consulting, and valuation and appraisal services—were divested. The Company recorded a net gain of $258,286 to the "Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes" line item in the consolidated statements of operations during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024. The net after-tax proceeds from this transaction were used to repay certain debt obligations and focus on the core operating subsidiaries.

The Company analyzed the quantitative and qualitative factors relevant to the sale of the Great American Group, including the significance of the operating income generated from the appraisal, real estate consulting and auction and liquidation operations to the overall net income (loss), net (loss) income per share, and net assets, and determined that those conditions for discontinued operations presentation had been met. As such, results of operations and cash flows of that business are reported as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

In addition to retaining an equity interest accounted for under the equity method of accounting, at the closing of the transaction, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain transition services to Great American NewCo relating to the Great American Group for a period of up to one year from the closing. Additionally, the Company entered into a credit agreement, pursuant to which an affiliate of the Company, as lender, will provide to Great American NewCo, as borrower, a first lien secured revolving credit facility of up to $40,000 for general corporate purposes, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, which had an outstanding balance of $1,698 at closing. The Company also entered into promissory notes which totaled $15,332 related to capital requirements for certain retail liquidation engagements that were ongoing as of closing.

On June 27, 2025, the Company signed an equity purchase agreement to sell all of the membership interests of GlassRatner and Farber. The aggregate cash consideration paid by the buyers for the interests of GlassRatner and shares of Farber was $117,800, which is based on a target closing working capital amount that is subject to adjustment within 180-days following the sale date. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the buyer to provide certain services.
