<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">On September 4, 2018, SPAR Group, Inc. (&quot;SGRP&quot; or the &quot;Registrant&quot;) filed a claim (the &quot;Claim&quot;) with the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (C.A. No. 2018-0650) against Robert G. Brown, a substantial stockholder of SGRP and former Executive Chairman and director of SGRP, and William H. Bartels, a substantial stockholder of SGRP and current Vice Chairman and director and officer of SGRP (together with Robert G. Brown, the &quot;Majority Stockholders&quot;).</p>

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

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">The Claim was filed in response to the written consent from the Majority Stockholders received by SGRP on August 6, 2018 (the &quot;Written Consent&quot;), in which the Majority Stockholders attempted to change SGRP&#39;s By-Laws in order to (among other things) weaken the independence of the Board through new supermajority requirements and stockholder only approvals and eliminate the Board&#39;s independent majority requirement, in order to further benefit themselves.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">SGRP has requested in the Claim that the Delaware Chancery Court provide SGRP with: (1) declaratory relief in the form of an order confirming that the bylaw amendments proposed by the Majority Stockholders (as set forth in the Written Consent and each of the Majority Stockholders&#39; amendments to their respective Schedule 13Ds, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 6, 2018) (the &quot;Proposed Amendments&quot;) are invalid under Delaware law and (2) preliminary injunctive relief enjoining the Majority Stockholders from attempting during the pendency of the Claim to (a) enact the Proposed Amendments, (b) remove or attempt to remove any independent director of SGRP, (c) further weaken the independence of SGRP&#39;s Board of Directors (the &quot;Board&quot;) or (d) circumvent or interfere with the duties of the Audit Committee of the Board.</p>

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

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">SGRP is pursuing the Claim against the Majority Stockholders because the Board&#39;s Governance Committee believes that the Proposed Amendments will negatively impact all stockholders (particularly minority stockholders), among other things:</p>

Words such as &quot;may,&quot; &quot;will,&quot; &quot;expect,&quot; &quot;intend&quot;, &quot;believe&quot;, &quot;estimate&quot;, &quot;anticipate,&quot; &quot;continue,&quot; &quot;plan,&quot; &quot;project,&quot; or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions also identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements made by the Company in this Current Report or the SEC Reports may include (without limitation) statements regarding: risks, uncertainties, cautions, circumstances and other factors (&quot;Risks&quot;); and plans, intentions, expectations, guidance or other information respecting the objective&#39;s of the Claim or the potential negative effects of the Proposed Amendments, the pursuit or achievement of the Company&#39;s five corporate objectives (growth, customer value, employee development, greater productivity &amp; efficiency, and increased earnings per share), building upon the Company&#39;s strong foundation, leveraging compatible global opportunities, growing the Company&#39;s client base and contracts, continuing to strengthen its balance sheet, growing revenues and improving profitability through organic growth, new business development and strategic acquisitions, and continuing to control costs. The Company&#39;s forward-looking statements also include (without limitation) those made in the Annual Report in &quot;Business&quot;, &quot;Risk Factors&quot;, &quot;Legal Proceedings&quot;, &quot;Management&#39;s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations&quot;, &quot;Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance&quot;, &quot;Executive Compensation&quot;, &quot;Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters&quot;, and &quot;Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence&quot;.</p>

<p style="font-family:'Times New Roman', Times, serif;font-size:10pt;margin:0pt;text-align:justify;">You should carefully review and consider the Company&#39;s forward-looking statements (including all risk factors and other cautions and uncertainties) and other information made, contained or noted in or incorporated by reference into this Current Report, the Annual Report, the Proxy Statement and the other applicable SEC Reports, but you should not place undue reliance on any of them. The results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company (including its affiliates, assets, business, clients, capital, cash flow, credit, expenses, financial condition, income, liabilities, liquidity, locations, marketing, operations, performance, prospects, sales, strategies, taxation or other achievement, results, risks, trends or condition) and other events and circumstances planned, intended, anticipated, estimated or otherwise expected by the Company (collectively, &quot;Expectations&quot;), and our forward-looking statements (including all Risks) and other information reflect the Company&#39;s current views about future events and circumstances. Although the Company believes those Expectations and views are reasonable, the results, actions, levels of activity, performance, achievements or condition of the Company or other events and circumstances may differ materially from our Expectations and views, and they cannot be assured or guaranteed by the Company, since they are subject to Risks and other assumptions, changes in circumstances and unpredictable events (many of which are beyond the Company&#39;s control). In addition, new Risks arise from time to time, and it is impossible for the Company to predict these matters or how they may arise or affect the Company. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure you that its Expectations will be achieved in whole or in part, that it has identified all potential Risks, or that it can successfully avoid or mitigate such Risks in whole or in part, any of which could be significant and materially adverse to the Company and the value of your investment in the Company&#39;s Common Stock.</p>

SGRP </b>therefore began negotiations in 2014 with SBS to update their service agreement and reduce those related-party expenses (with a goal of saving half). The negotiations dragged on over the course several years regarding (among other things) the net cost of using SBS <i>(i.e., </i>achieving actual savings) and Brown&#39;s insistence that SGRP reimburse any and all expenses incurred by <b>SBS,&nbsp;</b>which Brown believed always to be in the best interest of SGRP if Brown made that determination, including (without limitation) legal expenses (and in later years) a salary to Brown.</p>

Brown also was retiring, and the meetings were extremely contentious, with Brown arguing for an award of &quot;retirement&quot; benefits to him which was greater than the compensation paid to SGRP&#39;s CEO and unprecedented in the view of the compensation consultants retained by the Board&#39;s Compensation Committee.

SGRP is exploring its legal options for recovering the Affinity Returns from SAS and SBS.</p>

Those services ceased on July, 31, 2018. However, Bartels continues to demand that SGRP reimburse various ongoing expenses of SAS, including its personnel expenses and office rent for several years, which SGRP believes will be of no value or benefit to SGRP. While willing to consider reasonable reimbursements over a short period of time, SGRP has, with the support of the Audit Committee, refused to agree to reimburse most of those post-termination expenses. Bartels has used these demands as an excuse to avoid the Affinity reimbursement and security agreement he previously agreed to in principle.</p>

The Compensation Committee declined. Brown also has suggested a stockholder-approved <i>(i.e.,</i><i> </i>Defendant-approved) pension plan for himself to achieve his desired results.</p>

The Brazilian &quot;expense&quot; reimbursement (see <b>iiii </b>29-30, <i>infra)</i>&nbsp;and additional Clothier defense expenses (see <b>iiii</b> 21-22, <i>infra) </i>could alone cost SGRP another $500,000 this year if Defendants gain control of the Board.
