| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. As previously reported, on February 22, 2021, the Reporting Person received an inducement award approved by the Board of Directors of SPAR Group, Inc. (the "Issuer") for Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) for $100,000 of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, issuable on May 15 of each year he remains employed by the Issuer (the "Continuing Award"), which commenced in 2022. |
| 2. As previously reported, on May 15, 2024, under the Continuing Award (see footnote (1), above), the Reporting Person automatically received from the Issuer RSUs (the "2024 RSUs") for 57,143 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock based on the market price of $1.75 per share on May 14, 2024 (the last trading day preceding the RSU issuance date). Subject to certain conditions (including the Reporting Person's continued employment by the Issuer at such time), the 2024 RSUs automatically vested as scheduled on May 15, 2025, and automatically converted and become payable either (at the option of the Issuer) in cash or Common Stock issued directly from the Issuer, but no exercise price or other payment for such shares was required (other than tax withholdings). |
| 3. On May 15, 2025, the Issuer elected to issue Common Stock in satisfaction of the vesting of the 2024 RSUs in a letter to the Reporting Person, giving rise to the Reporting Person's right to receive such Common Stock but no exercise price or other payment for such shares was required (other than tax withholdings). Although the Reporting Person was entitled to receive 57,143 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock upon such vesting, the Reporting Person elected to satisfy his tax withholding obligations by using a portion of those shares, and accordingly only 40,051 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock were issued to the Reporting Person under the vested 2024 RSUs. |
| 4. On May 15, 2025, under the Continuing Award (see footnote (1), above), the Reporting Person automatically received from the Issuer RSUs (the "2025 RSUs") for 96,154 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock based on the market price of $1.04 per share on May 14, 2025 (the last trading day preceding the RSU issuance date). Subject to certain conditions (including the Reporting Person's continued employment by the Issuer at such time), the 2025 RSUs are scheduled on May 15, 2026, to automatically vest and convert and become payable either (at the option of the Issuer) in cash or Common Stock issued directly from the Issuer, but no exercise price or other payment for such shares is required (other than tax withholdings). |
| 5. Not applicable. |
| 6. That beneficial ownership does not include the shares that could be acquired under the following options. As previously reported, on February 22, 2021, the Reporting Person received an inducement award approved by SPAR Group, Inc.'s (the Issuer) Board of Directors for options to purchase 630,000 shares of the Common Stock of the Issuer at an exercise price of $1.90 per share (which was the market price on February 22, 2021, the date the options were issued). On February 22, 2022, automatically vested and became exercisable at the option of the Reporting Person, which requires notice and payment of $1.90 per share to the Issuer to effect such exercise. The options automatically expire on February 22, 2031. The reporting person's beneficial ownership does not include the shares that could be acquired under this option because of the high exercise price and current limited economic value to the Reporting Person |
