Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. Provides Update on Previously Announced Transaction with

Horizon Kinetics LLC and related Corporate Actions

Denver, Colo., July 1, 2024 - (Business Wire) - Scott's Liquid Gold-Inc. ("Scott's" or the "Company") (OTC: SLGD) today provided an update on its previously announced transaction with Horizon Kinetics LLC ("Horizon Kinetics") and its 1-for-20 reverse stock split, reincorporation, name change and change in ticker symbol (collectively, the "Transactions"). The Company and Horizon Kinetics have postponed the closing of the Transactions to ensure a smooth transition in trading of the Company's stock, which, immediately after closing, is expected to trade on a post-reverse split basis under a new name and ticker symbol. The Company will update the market once it has confirmed the closing date.

The Company currently expects its legacy shareholders to own between approximately 3.3% and 3.8% of the pro forma combined company, which is within the range disclosed in the Company's previously filed definitive proxy statement.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including statements regarding the merger with Horizon Kinetics, including the expected closing date. All statements other than statements of historical facts contained herein, including statements on the anticipated effective date of the merger, reverse stock split, reincorporation, name change and ticker symbol change, statements on the anticipated percentage ownership by the Company's legacy shareholders, and other statements regarding our, Horizon Kinetics' or the combined company's future financial position and results of operations, liquidity, business strategy and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words "believe," "may," "estimate," "continue," "anticipate," "intend," "should," "plan," "could," "target," "potential," "is likely," "will," "expect" and similar expressions, as they relate to us, Horizon Kinetics, or the combined company, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs as a combined company.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include: the possibility that the merger does not close, or does not close in a timely manner; the possibility that the ultimate ownership percentage of the legacy shareholders falls outside of the range disclosed herein, the possibility that anticipated benefits from the merger will not be realized, or will not be realized within the expected time period; and disruption from the merger making it more difficult to maintain business and operational relationships; among other risks.

Further information on risks we face is contained in our filings with the SEC, including our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 and our Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2024, and the definitive proxy statement dated May 13, 2024. Any forward-looking statement made by us herein speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as may be required by law.
