Associated Capital Group, Inc. (NYSE: AC) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has approved a 2018 allocation to its Shareholder-Designated Charitable Contribution Program for all registered Class A and Class B shareholders. Each registered shareholder can designate a charity to which the company will make a donation of $0.25 per share on behalf of the shareholder. Associated Capital Group follows in the footsteps of its affiliate, GAMCO Investors, Inc. which created its Shareholder-Designated Charitable Contribution Program in April 2013. Over its first two years as a public company, AC donated approximately $10 million to over 100 different charities that address a broad range of local, national, and international concerns.

At AC, we believe charitable giving is a cornerstone of society and an obligation for those with the means to make a difference in the world. As an organization, AC will have no control over these donations, but we are happy to make them on behalf of our shareholders in furtherance to our commitment to supporting our communities.

Shares held in nominee or street name will not be eligible to participate. Shareholders will have until November 30, 2018 to register shares in their own names to participate in the program. Shareholders that wish to register their shares to participate in the program should contact their broker or custodian to make the necessary arrangements.

We currently plan to solicit shareholder designations in December with payments to the charities following in early 2019. Only charities that are recognized 501(c)(3) organizations will be qualified to receive donations under the program. A list of eligible charities is available at Guidestar.org (https://www.guidestar.org/search).

Based on the approximately 19.5 million shares currently registered in shareholders’ names, the total contribution AC is expected to make will be approximately $5 million. This amount may increase if shares held in nominee or street name are subsequently registered in the shareholders’ names.
