<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:center;"><b>U.S. Global Investors Reports Financial Results for </b><b>the </b><b>Second</b><b> Quarter of 2019 Fiscal Year</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:center;">************************************************************************</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><b>SAN ANTONIO&ndash;</b><b>February 12</b><b>, 201</b><b>9</b>&ndash;U.S. Global Investors, Inc. (NASDAQ: GROW) (the &ldquo;Company&rdquo;), a boutique registered investment advisory firm with longstanding experience in global markets and specialized sectors, today reported a net loss of $3.2 million ($0.21 per share) for the quarter ended December 31, 2018, compared to earnings of $749,000 ($0.05 per share) a year earlier. As was the case in the September quarter, the loss is primarily due to unrealized investment losses related to decreases in valuation of corporate investments.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&ldquo;Shares of GROW, which have traditionally been correlated with the price of gold, took on additional short-term volatility with our investment in HIVE Blockchain Technologies in September 2017,&rdquo; explains Frank Holmes, Company CEO and chief investment officer. &ldquo;Because HIVE mines bitcoin, some investors trade GROW as a proxy for the digital currency, whose price has been and is expected to remain volatile.&rdquo;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">For the three months ended December 31, the Company saw an investment loss of $3.4 million, compared to investment income of $243,000 in the same quarter the previous year. As of July 1, 2018, the Company adopted a new accounting pronouncement that changed how unrealized gains and losses of certain corporate investments are recorded. Starting in fiscal year 2019, changes in the fair value of the Company&rsquo;s investments formerly classified as available-for-sale were no longer reported through other comprehensive income, but rather through earnings. This change in accounting can result in investment income and losses being more volatile quarter-to-quarter.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">The Company had a net loss of $48,000 from equity method investments for the December quarter, compared to $1.2 million income for the same three months in 2017. The underlying investments in the equity method investments are concentrated in cryptocurrency mining stocks, which are expected to continue to be volatile. There is potential for continued significant volatility in the valuation of the equity method investment currently held.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Total operating revenues for the December quarter decreased $194,000, or 9.7 percent, compared to the same period a year earlier. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower advisory and administrative services fees, as investors continue to rotate out of actively managed mutual funds in favor of passively managed index funds such as exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The decrease in revenue due to the decrease in assets under management (AUM) was somewhat offset by an increase in performance fees received by Galileo Global Equity Advisors Inc. (Galileo). The Company has a 65% percent interest in Galileo. The receipt of performance fees in the future is uncertain as fees are dependent upon many factors, including market conditions.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">February 12, 2019</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><b>&nbsp;</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><b>Investor Appetite Is Changing, But Active Management Still Has Value</b></p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&ldquo;In December 2018, outflows from actively managed U.S.-based funds totaled $142.7 billion, the highest amount on record for a single month, while passive funds saw inflows of $59.7 billion, according to Morningstar data,&rdquo; explains Holmes. &ldquo;For all of 2018, investors pulled as much as $300.7 billion out of active funds and allocated more than $457.7 billion toward passive funds. For better or worse, investor appetite is changing, and this is affecting not just our company but the entire mutual fund industry.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&ldquo;Among the fund categories that saw the best inflows in December, according to Morningstar, were U.S.-based ultrashort and short-term bond funds, as investors sought a safe haven during the worst monthly stock selloff since the Great Recession,&rdquo; Holmes continues. &ldquo;Our own two bond funds, the Near-Term Tax Free Fund (NEARX) and U.S. Government Securities Ultra-Short Bond Fund (UGSDX), delivered positive returns for the December quarter as well as the year 2018, helping shareholders stanch some of the losses they might have seen in their equity positions.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">&ldquo;Having said that, I&rsquo;m proud to say that our two domestic equity funds, the All American Equity Fund (GBTFX) and Holmes Macro Trends Fund (MEGAX), performed better than their benchmarks, the S&amp;P 500 Index and S&amp;P Composite 1500 Index, for the one-month and three-month periods ended December 31, 2018. I believe this shows that our style of active management and ability to navigate even the choppiest of markets brings great value to our investors and shareholders.&rdquo; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">U.S. Global Investors has continued purchasing its outstanding stock.

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;"><i>Please consider carefully a fund&rsquo;s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses.

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:left;">Bond funds are subject to interest-rate risk; their value declines as interest rates rise. Though the Near-Term Tax Free Fund seeks minimal fluctuations in share price, it is subject to the risk that the credit quality of a portfolio holding could decline, as well as risk related to changes in the economic conditions of a state, region or issuer. These risks could cause the fund&rsquo;s share price to decline. Tax-exempt income is federal income tax free. A portion of this income may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. The Near-Term Tax Free Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in securities that pay taxable interest. Income or fund distributions attributable to capital gains are usually subject to both state and federal income taxes. Stock markets can be volatile and share prices can fluctuate in response to sector-related and other risks as described in the fund prospectus.</p>
