AC Associated Capital Group Inc

Associated Capital Group, Inc. (NYSE: AC) has set October 15, 2023 as the record date for its 2023 Shareholder Designated Charitable Contribution (“SDCC”). AC previously announced the approval of a $0.20 per share SDCC for all registered Class A and Class B shareholders. To be eligible, shareholders will have until October 15, 2023 to register shares directly with Computershare, AC’s transfer agent. Shareholders can then designate a 501(c)(3) charitable organization to receive the $0.20 per share SDCC.

Based on the 21.7 million shares currently outstanding, AC’s total contribution will be approximately $4.3 million. In late October, AC will provide forms to registered holders to designate recognized 501(c)(3) charitable organizations. There will also be an option to designate charitable organizations through our website www.associated-capital-group.com/donate. A list of eligible charities is available at Guidestar.org (https://www.guidestar.org/search).

Since its inception as a public company, through the SDCC, the shareholders of AC have donated approximately $38 million to over 190 different charities that address a broad range of local, national, and international concerns.
