On July 1, 2020, GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO") announced its Chairman and CEO, Mr. Mario J. Gabelli, has elected to waive all of his compensation that he would otherwise have
been entitled to for the period from July 1, 2020 to November 10, 2020. In addition to adding to our investing in new product development, the Company plans to allocate a portion of the funds to continue its
charitable contribution programs which since its IPO in 1999, the firm has donated over $57 million to charities, including over $4.5 million allocated to the shareholder designated charitable contribution last year.
This year, we will recommend shareholders focus on inner-city schools and frontline healthcare workers.
