    On June 24, 2014, Mr. Bryant R. Riley resigned from the Board of Directors of Cadiz Inc. (the “Company”).  Mr. Riley’s resignation was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices.  Mr. Riley has advised the Company that due to B. Riley and Company’s recently closed merger with Great American Group Inc. and his role of Chairman and CEO of this public company, he does not have sufficient time to devote to Company affairs as a director.  Mr. Riley has further advised the Company that he will remain available to assist the Company on an informal basis from time to time.
 
    Mr. Riley’s departure reduces the number of directors on the Company’s Board of Directors to eight.
