Siebert Financial Corp. (the "Company") expects to hold its 2017 annual meeting of shareholders on or about June 23, 2017. The Company expects that shareholders of record as of the close of business on or about May 9, 2017 will be entitled to receive notice of and vote at the meeting.

The Annual Meeting is more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company's annual meeting of shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2015, which was held on December 16, 2016. As a result, the deadline for any shareholder proposal or shareholder nomination under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") listed in the Company's 2016 Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on November 28, 2016, is no longer applicable. In order for a shareholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and form of proxy for the 2017 annual meeting, the written proposal must be received at our principal executive offices at 120 Wall Street, New York, New York 10005, Attention: Corporate Secretary, on or before May 2, 2017. All shareholder proposals must satisfy the requirements of Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and all other applicable SEC regulations regarding the inclusion of shareholder proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.
