<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">On February 15, 2018, the Board of Directors
of Live Ventures Incorporated (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;) adopted a new stock repurchase program (the &ldquo;Program&rdquo;). The
Program authorizes the Company to repurchase up to $10 million of its currently outstanding shares of common stock at prevailing
market prices and expires on February 15, 2021. <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Shares may be purchased under the Program
in open market transactions, including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading
plan that may be adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &ldquo;Exchange
Act&rdquo;). The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in the Company&rsquo;s discretion. The
Program may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time for any reason. The Program does not obligate the Company to acquire
any specific number of shares, and all open market repurchases will be made in accordance with Rule 10b-18 of the Exchange Act,
which sets certain restrictions on the method, timing, price and volume of open market stock repurchases</FONT>. The repurchase
will be funded by cash on hand and cash generated by operations of the Company&rsquo;s businesses.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white">LAS VEGAS, Feb. 20, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Live Ventures Incorporated (Nasdaq:LIVE), a diversified holding company, today announced that its Board of Directors has approved
a new <FONT STYLE="background-color: white">stock repurchase program that will enable the Company to repurchase up to $10 million&nbsp;of
its common stock over the next three years. Live Ventures&rsquo; previous stock repurchase program expired last month.</FONT></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">&ldquo;Management
believes that the program is designed to strengthen the company's long-term financial structure by capitalizing on the current
undervaluation of its stock in the open market,&rdquo; said Jon Isaac, Live Ventures&rsquo; President and Chief Executive Officer.</FONT></P>

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

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; background-color: white"><FONT STYLE="background-color: white">Under
the new stock repurchase program, Live Ventures may purchase shares of its common stock through various means, in open market transactions,
including through block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, or pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted
in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which would permit common stock to be repurchased
at a time that Live Ventures might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed trading restrictions.
The number of shares repurchased and the timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in the Company&rsquo;s
discretion and subject to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, stock price, trading volume and general market conditions,
along with Live Ventures&rsquo; general business conditions and other factors. The program may be suspended or discontinued at
any time and the program does not obligate the company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock. </FONT></P>
