  2. What agreement governs the Warrants?

    The warrant agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1, contains the complete terms and conditions of the warrants and is attached as an exhibit to LGL’s post-effective amendment to registration statement on Form S-1, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on June 5, 2025 (the “Amended Registration Statement”). It is available on the SEC’s web site at www.SEC.gov.

  6. Why is the exercise price $4.75 now?

    As a result of the spinoff of M-tron Industries, Inc., the warrant exercise price was adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement.

  7. Do the warrants expire?

    Yes. The warrants will expire on the five-year anniversary of issuance, on November 16, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), a Sunday, which allows holders to exercise the Warrants by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the next business day, November 17, 2025.

  8. Will holders of the warrants be entitled to receive any future cash dividends?

    No. Holders of unexercised warrants are not entitled to any of the rights of LGL Group common stock, which includes the right to vote and to receive dividends. Future cash dividends, if any, will be paid on shares of LGL Group common stock outstanding on the record date set for any such dividend.

  9. What type of event would cause an anti-dilution adjustment to the warrant?

    The initial exercise price for LGL Group common stock to be purchased in connection with these warrants is subject to anti-dilution adjustment for certain events, including:

    • Stock dividends
    • Stock splits or combinations
    • Issuance of shares in connection with a consolidation or merger in which LGL Group is the continuing corporation
    • Issuance of rights, options, or warrants to all holders of common stock
    • Distribution of debt instruments or assets to all holders of common stock
    • Consummation of tender offer for more than 30% of LGL Group, or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, outstanding common stock at a price that is above market price
       
  10. What is the process to exercise my warrants?

    The warrants can be exercised under the Basic Warrant Exercise Rights at the current ratio and exercise price discussed above and Holders that exercise all of their warrants pursuant to the Basic Warrant Exercise Rights may elect to participate in the Over-Subscription Privilege (as defined and discussed below), which was included pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to the warrant agreement.

    Any Holder that exercises all of its warrants from and after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 16, 2025 (the “Over-Subscription Commencement Date”) until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date (the “Over-Subscription Period” and the last day of such period, the “Over-Subscription Deadline”), then, subject to the terms described below, such Holder may also choose to subscribe for any or all of the shares issuable pursuant to any unexercised Warrants as of the Over-Subscription Deadline (the “Over-Subscription Privilege”). The number of shares of Common Stock that will be available in the aggregate to all Holders that exercise their Warrants pursuant to the Over-Subscription Privilege will be the number of shares of Common Stock which are not subscribed for as of the Over-Subscription Deadline pursuant to the Basic Warrant Exercise Right of all Holders (such number of shares of Common Stock, the “Under-Subscribed Shares”). Holders who exercise the Over-Subscription Privilege are subject to pro rata share allocation provisions if requests for over-subscription exceed the number of Under-Subscribed Shares, which are described in the Registration Statement.

    Direct registration holders should contact Computershare Investor Services, the warrant agent. To exercise, you will be required to complete an exercise notice and provide payment to Computershare Investor Services by money order, certified check, or official back check in an amount equal to the exercise price multiplied by the number of warrants being exercised. Upon exercise, you will receive the whole number of shares of LGL Group common stock to which you are entitled.

    Holders in street name should contact their broker, bank, or other intermediary for information on how to exercise warrants, which may be effectuated through the procedures of Depositary Trust Company (“DTC”). The deadlines of brokers, banks, other intermediaries, or DTC may be earlier than the deadlines set forth in the warrant agreement, so holders should confirm any deadlines with such entities. Street name holders may exercise the Basic Warrant Exercise Rights and the Over-Subscription Privilege through their broker, bank, or other intermediary through the customary procedures of the DTC using DTC’s Automated Subscription Offer Program (commonly referred to as “ASOP”).

CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR

The information contained herein provides a general summary regarding the application of certain U.S. Federal income tax laws and regulations relating to the distribution of the warrants. The information contained herein does not constitute tax advice and does not purport to be complete or to describe the consequences that may apply to particular categories of shareholders. LGL  Group does not provide tax advice to its shareholders. You are urged to consult your own tax advisor regarding the particular consequences of the distribution of the warrants to you, including the applicability and effect of all U.S. Federal, state and local and foreign tax laws.

  1. Are there any substantial tax implications related to the warrants?

    The LGL Warrants are being issued as a dividend proportionate to all outstanding shares of LGL Group common stock. As such, the warrant dividend would normally be a non-taxable distribution for U.S. taxpayers. The above information is presented here for information purposes only and is not intended to constitute tax advice for any individual stockholder or warrant holder or stockholder. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the United States federal and other tax consequences of the distribution of the warrants.

  2. Is this a qualified dividend?

    No. This warrant dividend is a distribution of stock rights to holders of LGL Group common stock and does not qualify as a qualified dividend.

  3. Will I need to allocate any portion of the tax basis in my LGL Group common stock to the warrants I receive?

    The general rules for allocating tax basis between common stock and rights (such as these warrants) received as a distribution require U.S. taxpayers to allocate the tax basis of their stock between the stock and the rights received. However, there is an exception to this general rule when the fair market value of the rights received is less than 15% of the value of the stock immediately prior to the distribution. Once the fair market value of the warrants at issuance is known, we will update this section to let recipients know whether or not the fair market value of the warrants is less than 15% of the value of the common stock.

  4. How is the fair market value of the warrants determined?

    The fair market value of the warrants is based upon the trading value of the warrants as separate from the common stock on the first day of trading.

  5. What adjustment is needed to the tax basis per share of my LGL Group common stock?

    Once the fair market value of the warrants at issuance is known, we will update this section to let recipients know if the general rules for U.S. taxpayers indicate that an allocation of tax basis is required.

  6. What is my tax basis for the warrants I received or obtained through buying the common stock with due bills attached?

    Generally, if you purchased your LGL Group common stock after the record date with a due bill attached, your tax basis in the warrants is the fair market value of the warrants at the time that you purchased the common stock.
