I. Executive Summary 4


 
5 Executive Summary Executive Summary Summary of Fairness Opinion • Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”) understands that Spectrum Group International, Inc. (“SGI”, “Parent” or the “Company”) intends to distribute all shares of its wholly owned subsidiary, A-Mark Precious Metals, Inc. (“A-Mark”), to Parent’s stockholders, after which A-Mark is expected to become an independent, publicly-traded company (such distribution, the “Spin-Off”). Following the Spin-Off, Parent will effect a 1-for-1,000 reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split” and, together with the Spin-Off, the “Transactions”) such that Parent stockholders of record that own fewer than 1,000 shares of common stock (the “Fractional Interest Stockholders”) will have such shares cancelled and converted into the right to receive $0.65 (the “Fractional Share Consideration”) for each share of common stock held of record prior to the Reverse Stock Split. • The Board of Directors of Parent (the “Board”) has asked Roth to provide an opinion to the Board (in its capacity as such) as to whether, as of the date hereof, the Fractional Share Consideration to be received by the Fractional Interest Stockholders in the Reverse Stock Split is fair, from a financial point of view, to such stockholders.

IV. Methodology and Assumptions 22


 
23 Methodology and Assumptions Methodology & Assumptions Approach • In arriving at a range of pro forma estimated values for Parent common stock, Roth utilized various widely-used valuation methodologies. Different valuation techniques are likely to derive different ranges of values, and the use of more than one methodology serves to validate the results of any single approach while reducing the margin of error. • While the following summary describes several analyses and examinations that Roth deemed material to its analysis, they are not a comprehensive description of all analyses and examinations actually conducted by Roth. The preparation of a fairness opinion necessarily is not susceptible to partial analysis or summary description. Roth believes that such analyses and the following summary set forth herein must be considered as a whole and that selecting portions of such analyses and of the factors considered, without considering all such analyses and factors, would create an incomplete view of the process underlying the analyses set forth in its presentation to the Board. The ranges of values resulting from any particular analysis described herein should not be taken to be Roth’s view of the actual value of Parent common stock, nor the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Fractional Interest Shareholders of the Fractional Share Consideration.


 
24 Methodology & Assumptions Summary (cont’d) For the purposes of its analysis, Roth: • reviewed A-Mark’s registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) in connection with the Spin-Off, filed on November 12, 2013; • reviewed a draft of Parent’s Schedule 14A proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) in connection with the Reverse Stock Split, received by us on November 9, 2013; • reviewed certain publicly available business and financial information of Parent that we believe to be relevant to our inquiry; • reviewed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning Parent; • reviewed certain pro forma financial forecasts relating to Parent (giving effect to the Spin-Off) prepared by the management of Parent (the “Parent Forecasts”); • discussed the past and current operations, financial condition and prospects of Parent with management of Parent; • reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for Parent common stock; • compared the financial performance of Parent, and the prices and trading activity of Parent common stock, with that of certain publicly traded companies we deemed relevant; • considered publicly available financial terms of certain transactions we deemed relevant; and • performed such other analyses and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate.
