For financial reporting purposes we classify our businesses into four operating segments: (i) Capital Markets, (ii) Auction and Liquidation,
(iii) Valuation and Appraisal and (iv) Principal Investments - United Online and magicJack.

Capital Markets Segment. Our Capital Markets segment provides a full array of investment banking, corporate finance, consulting,
financial advisory, research, securities lending, wealth management and sales and trading services to corporate, institutional and high net worth
clients. Our corporate finance and investment banking services include merger and acquisitions as well as restructuring advisory services to

as a principal for our account, including investments in funds managed by our subsidiaries. Our Capital Markets segment also includes our asset
management businesses that manage various private and public funds for institutional and individual investors.

Auction and Liquidation Segment. Our Auction and Liquidation segment utilizes our significant industry experience, a scalable network of
independent contractors and industry-specific advisors to tailor our services to the specific needs of a multitude of clients, logistical challenges
and distressed circumstances. Furthermore, our scale and pool of resources allow us to offer our services across North American as well as parts
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1464790/000161577419007064/s118002_424b5.htm[5/6/2019 10:48:35 AM]

consists of businesses which have been acquired primarily for attractive investment return characteristics. Currently, this segment includes
UOL, through which we provide consumer Internet access, and magicJack, through which we provide VoIP communication and related product
and subscription services.

Recent Developments

We believe a key differentiator of our business is the ability to pursue a diversified strategy of utilizing our balance sheet for the purchase
of assets, for equity investments, to provide backstop commitments, and to assist our clients in closing transactions. We have employed this
strategy throughout our history. We aim to structure these transactions to mitigate our downside risk and provide for returns consistent with our
past performance. GACP from time to time participates in and provides capital for these transactions. We are currently exploring other
opportunities to utilize our balance sheet and deploy capital in a manner consistent with our diversified strategy and complementary to the
transactions that we closed in 2018.

On April 5, 2019, B. Riley FBR, Inc. agreed to provide Babcock & Wilcox, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("B&W"), with (i) $150.0 million
in additional commitments under Tranche A-3 of last out term loans and (ii) an incremental uncommitted facility of up to $15.0 million
pursuant to Amendment No. 16, to B&W's Credit Agreement, dated May 11, 2015 (as amended to date, the "B&W Credit Agreement"), with
Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and lender, and the other lenders party thereto. B. Riley FBR and Vintage Capital Management,
LLC ("Vintage Capital") are each lenders with respect to B&W's last out term loans under the B&W Credit Agreement. Additionally, Kenneth
Young, the President of B. Riley Financial, Inc., is the Chief Executive Officer of B&W.

S-4

In connection with the provisions of the Tranche A-3 last out term loans, B&W, B. Riley FBR and Vintage Capital entered into a letter
agreement (the "Letter Agreement") on April 5, 2019, pursuant to which the parties agreed to use their reasonable best efforts to effect a series
of equitization transactions for a portion of the last out term loans extended under the B&W Credit Agreement, subject to, among other things,
approval by B&W's shareholders. These transactions (the "Equitization Transactions") consist of: (i) a $50.0 million rights offering (the
"Rights Offering") allowing B&W's shareholders to subscribe for shares of B&W's Common Stock at a price of $0.30 per share (the
"Subscription Price"), the proceeds of which will be used to prepay a portion of the last out term loans under the B&W Credit Agreement, (ii)
the exchange of Tranche A-1 last out term loans under the B&W Credit Agreement for shares of B&W's Common Stock at a price per share
equal to the Subscription Price, and (iii) the issuance to B. Riley or its designees of an aggregate of 16,667,667 warrants, each to purchase one
share of B&W's Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share. B. Riley FBR will use its reasonable best efforts to act as a backstop for
the Rights Offering to the extent the Rights Offering is not fully subscribed, by exchanging last out term loans that it holds for any unsubscribed
shares in the offering at a price per share equal to the Subscription Price. The issuance of any shares of B&W's Common Stock (or other
securities) in connection with the Equitization Transactions is subject to the receipt of all required shareholder approvals, and no shares of
B&W's Common Stock (or other securities) will be issued before such approvals have been obtained.

The parties to the Letter Agreement have also agreed to negotiate one or more agreements that will provide B. Riley FBR and Vintage
Capital with certain governance rights, including (i) the right for B. Riley FBR and Vintage Capital to each nominate up to three individuals to
serve on B&W's board of directors (the "B&W Board"), subject to certain continued lending and equity ownership thresholds and (ii) pre-
emptive rights permitting B. Riley FBR to participate in future issuances of B&W's equity securities. The size of the B&W Board will remain
at seven directors.

On June 17, 2018, we entered into certain agreements pursuant to which we agreed to provide certain debt and equity funding and other
support in connection with the acquisition by Vintage Rodeo Parent, LLC (the "Vintage Parent"), of Rent-A-Center, Inc. ("Rent-A-Center"),
contemplated by that certain merger agreement dated as of June 17, 2018, by and among Vintage Parent, Vintage Rodeo Acquisition, Inc. a
wholly owned subsidiary of Vintage Parent (the "Merger Sub"), and Rent-A-Center (the "Merger Agreement").

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1464790/000161577419007064/s118002_424b5.htm[5/6/2019 10:48:35 AM]

In connection with the Merger Agreement, we and Vintage RTO, L.P., an affiliate of Vintage Parent ("Vintage Merger Guarantor"),
entered into a Limited Guarantee dated as of June 17, 2018 (the "Limited Guarantee"), in favor of Rent-A-Center, pursuant to which we and
Vintage Merger Guarantor (together, the "Merger Guarantors") agreed to guarantee, jointly and severally, to Rent-A-Center the payment,
performance and discharge of all of the liabilities and obligations of Vintage Parent and Merger Sub under the Merger Agreement when required
in accordance with the Merger Agreement (the "Guaranteed Obligations"), including without limitation, (i) termination fees in the amount of
$126.5 million due to Rent-A-Center if the Merger Agreement is properly terminated (the "Termination Fee"); and (ii) reimbursement and
indemnification obligations when required (collectively, the "Guarantee Obligations"), provided, that the liability under the Limited Guarantee
shall not exceed $128.5 million.

In connection with the execution of the Limited Guarantee, the Company entered into a Mutual Indemnity/Contribution Agreement, dated
as of June 17, 2018 (the "Mutual Indemnity Agreement"), with the Vintage Merger Guarantor and Samjor Family, LP (collectively, the
"Vintage Indemnity Parties"). Under the Mutual Indemnity Agreement, the Vintage Indemnity Parties agreed, jointly and severally, to
indemnify and hold harmless us and our affiliates from damages and liabilities arising out of the Guarantee Obligations, other than those caused
by our failure to fund under their debt or equity commitments.

On December 18, 2018, Rent-A-Center purported to terminate the Merger Agreement because the end date of the agreement was allegedly
not extended prior to December 17, 2018 by Vintage Parent. Rent-A-Center delivered notice of such termination to Vintage Parent, and notified
Vintage Parent of its obligation under the terms of the Merger Agreement to pay Rent-A-Center the Termination Fee within three business
days. On December 18, 2018, Vintage Capital Management, LLC, an affiliate of Vintage Parent ("Vintage Capital"), delivered a letter to Rent-
A-Center stating that Rent-A-Center's purported termination of the Merger Agreement is invalid, that it believes the Merger Agreement
remains in effect. On December 21, 2018, Vintage Capital filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the "Court")
challenging Rent-A-Center's purported termination of the Merger Agreement and demand for payment of the Termination Fee. The relief
sought by Vintage Capital includes declaratory judgements that the Merger Agreement has not been terminated and remains in full force and
effect, that Rent-A-Center has breached its obligations under the Merger Agreement and is not excused from failing to comply with its
obligations thereunder and that the Termination Fee is an unenforceable penalty. On December 28, 2018, Rent-A-Center provided each of the
Company and the Vintage Merger Guarantor with a written request under the Limited Guarantee (a "Performance Demand"), to promptly, and
in any event within ten (10) business days, pay to Rent-A-Center the Guaranteed Obligations (including the Termination Fee) in full.

S-5

On December 30, 2018, we filed a motion in the Court to intervene in the above referenced case filed by Vintage Capital pursuant to which
we sought declaratory judgments, among other things, that the parties agreed to extend the end date under the Merger Agreement and that Rent-
A-Center is estopped from terminating the Merger Agreement, that Rent-A-Center has breached the Merger Agreement and its obligations of
good faith and fair dealing in connection with consummating the Merger, and that the Termination Fee is an unenforceable penalty. On
February 11th and 12th, a trial was held, post-trial briefs were filed on February 22, 2019 and March 1, 2019, and a post-trial hearing was held
on March 11, 2019. On March 14, 2019, the Court issued its Opinion concluding that Rent-A-Center's termination of the merger agreement was
valid and did not rule on the enforceability of the payment of the Termination Fee. The parties submitted supplemental briefs as well as reply
briefs on that issue. On April 22, 2019, the parties announced an agreement in principal to settle the matter and on April 25, 2019 signed a
settlement agreement including a release of claims. The Company is not making any financial contribution in connection with the settlement.

On November 14, 2018, we entered into an agreement to acquire shares of National Holdings Corporation ("National Holdings"), a
NASDAQ-listed issuer, from Fortress Biotech, Inc. for an aggregate purchase price totaling approximately $22.9 million. The transaction was
completed in two tranches. In the first tranche, which was completed in the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company acquired shares representing
24% of the total outstanding shares of National Holdings. The second tranche was contingent upon receipt of the approval of Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority, Inc., which was obtained in the first quarter of 2019. As a result of the closing of the second tranche, we now hold 49% of
the outstanding shares of National Holdings. The equity ownership in National Holdings is accounted for under the equity method of
accounting.

BRPI Acquisition Co LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("BRPAC"), UOL, and YMax Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("YMax"; and, together with BRPAC and UOL, the "Borrowers"), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, in their capacity of borrowers,
entered into a credit agreement (the "BRPAC Credit Agreement") dated December 19, 2018, with the Banc of California, N.A. in its capacity as
agent and lender and with the other lenders party thereto. Certain of the Borrowers' U.S. subsidiaries are guarantors of all obligations under the
BRPAC Credit Agreement and are parties to the BRPAC Credit Agreement in such capacity (collectively, the "Secured Guarantors"; and,
together with the Borrowers, the "Credit Parties"). In addition, we and B. Riley Principal Investments, LLC, the parent corporation of BRPAC
and our subsidiary, are guarantors of the obligations under BRPAC Credit Agreement pursuant to standalone guaranty agreements pursuant to
which the shares of outstanding membership interests of the BRPAC are pledged as collateral. The obligations under the BRPAC Credit
Agreement are secured by first-priority liens on, and a first-priority security interest in, substantially all of the assets of the Credit Parties,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1464790/000161577419007064/s118002_424b5.htm[5/6/2019 10:48:35 AM]

including a pledge of (a) 100% of the equity interests of the Credit Parties, (b) 65% of the equity interests in United Online Software
Development (India) Private Limited, a private limited company organized under the laws of India and (c) 65% of the equity interests in
magicJack. The credit facilities under the BRPAC Credit Agreement consist of: (a) a term credit facility under which the Borrowers may borrow
up to $80.0 million on the closing date with a final maturity date of five years from the closing date; and (b) an optional accordion term loan
credit facility under which the Borrowers may borrow up to $10.0 million with a final maturity date of five years from the closing date. On
February 1, 2019, the Borrowers entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Joinder with City National Bank as a new lender in
which the new lender extended to Borrowers the additional $10.0 million. Borrowings under the BRPAC Credit Agreement are due in quarterly
installments commencing on March 31, 2019 with any remaining amounts outstanding due at maturity. The borrowings under the BRPAC
Credit Agreement bear interest equal to the LIBOR plus a margin of 2.50% to 3.00% depending on the Borrowers' consolidated total funded
debt ratio as defined in the BRPAC Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the BRPAC Credit Agreement were used to refinance a portion of the
purchase price of the recently closed acquisition of magicJack and to pay related costs.

During 2017 and 2018, we entered into a series of related At the Market Issuance Sales Agreements (the "Sales Agreements") with B. Riley
FBR, Inc. governing an ongoing program of at-the-market sales of our 7.50% Senior Notes due 2021 (the "7.50% 2021 Notes"), our 7.50%
Senior Notes due 2027 (the "7.50% 2027 Notes"), our 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "7.25% 2027 Notes"), our 7.375% Senior Notes due
2023 (the "7.375% 2023 Notes") and our 6.875% 2023 Notes (the "6.875% 2023 Notes" and, together with the 7.50% 2021 Notes, the 7.50%
2027 Notes, the 7.25% 2027 Notes and the 7.375% 2023 Notes, the "senior notes"). The senior notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture,
dated as of November 2, 2016, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 2, 2016, the Second Supplemental
Indenture, dated as of May 31, 2017, the Third Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 13, 2017, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture,
dated as of May 17, 2018, and the Fifth Supplemental Indenture, dated as of September 11, 2018, each between the Company and U.S. Bank,
National Association, as trustee. We filed prospectus supplements under which we sold the senior notes on June 28, 2017, December 19, 2017,
April 25, 2018, June 5, 2018 and December 18, 2018. Each of these prospectus supplements was filed pursuant to an effective Registration
Statement on Form S-3. As of March 31, 2019, in aggregate, we have sold senior notes having an aggregate principal balance of approximately
$472.2 million under the Sales Agreements and related prospectus supplements. Our most recent Sales Agreement was entered into on
December 18, 2018 (the "December 2018 Sales Agreement"), and, under the related prospectus supplement, we may offer and sell up to $75.0
million of the senior notes. As of March 31, 2019, we had approximately $70.0 million remaining availability under the December 2018 Sales
Agreement. Future sales of the senior notes pursuant to the December 2018 Sales Agreement will depend on a variety of factors including, but
not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of the notes and the Company's capital needs.

Conflicts of Interest
B. Riley FBR, our wholly-owned subsidiary, will participate in the offering of the Notes as a joint
book-running manager.

Because of the foregoing, the representative may be deemed to have a "conflict of interest" within
the meaning of Rule 5121 of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), and this
offering will be conducted in accordance with Rule 5121. The representative may not make sales
of Notes in this offering to any of its discretionary accounts without the prior written approval of
the account holder. However, in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121, no "qualified independent
underwriter" is required because the Notes are investment grade-rated by one or more nationally
recognized statistical rating agencies.

date and, if applicable, the initial interest accrual date and the initial interest payment date) as the
Notes; provided that if any such additional notes are not fungible with the Notes initially offered
hereby for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will have one or more separate
CUSIP numbers.

The Notes are subject to legal and covenant defeasance by us. See "Description of the Notes
Defeasance" for more information.
