The

Marygold Companies Provides Update to Stockholders Regarding Transaction

SAN

CLEMENTE, CALIF. – September 28, 2026 – As previously announced, on September 25, 2026, The Marygold Companies, Inc. (NYSE

American: MGLD) (“Marygold” or the “Company”) entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Merger Agreement”)

pursuant to which funds managed by Madison Dearborn Partners will acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Company for $2.00 per

share.

The

board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) delegated authority to the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Special

Committee”), consisting solely of independent and disinterested directors, to consider, review, evaluate and negotiate the potential

acquisition of the Company and make a recommendation to the Board. Both the Special Committee and the Board unanimously determined that

the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable, fair to and in the interests of the Company.

The

Merger Agreement was supported by holders of approximately 75% of the voting power of the Company’s outstanding shares. Shortly

following the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, those same holders of approximately 75% of the voting power of the Company’s

outstanding shares delivered a written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.

Because

the Company has received stockholder approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, under the terms of the

Merger Agreement, the Company is not permitted to respond to or accept alternative acquisition proposals or to terminate the Merger Agreement

to pursue an alternative acquisition proposal.

The

details of the Merger Agreement and related transactions are included in a Form 8-K filed by the Company earlier today. The Merger Agreement

is filed as an exhibit to that Form 8-K.

Prior

to entering into the Merger Agreement, the Company conducted an extensive process to solicit interest from third parties in acquiring

all or part of the Company’s shares and received several proposals. Details of the process undertaken by the Company prior to entering

into the Merger Agreement will be included in the information statement that the Company will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission

and mail to Company stockholders.
