to Expand Key Operations

Siebert Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: SIEB) ("Siebert"), a provider of financial services, today announced that it has completed the purchase of an office building located at 653 Collins Avenue in Miami Beach, Florida. The purchase reflects Siebert's ongoing commitment to expand in the Greater Miami area and the location will serve as the primary operations of RISE Prime ("RISE"), a division of RISE Financial Services, LLC, which specializes in offering a comprehensive suite of prime brokerage services aligned with the growing mission-driven Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") initiatives of institutional investors.

653 Collins Avenue, built in 1940, spans approximately 12,000 square feet and is strategically located two blocks from 5th Street/MacArthur Causeway which connects Miami Beach to Downtown Miami. The purchase strengthens Siebert's presence in the Greater Miami area following the opening of Siebert's office in Miami approximately three years ago.

Gebbia, controlling shareholder and Board member of Siebert. "Siebert will continue to build on the company's legacy and core values while modernizing our offerings and geographic footprint to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers."

Opening the primary operations of RISE Prime in Miami will provide valuable services to the growing diverse investor community in this region and serves as a beacon for women and minorities to pursue impactful financial services careers in this vibrant city. Our investment further signifies our long-term commitment and confidence in the brilliant future of this region."
