The company said that the closing of the final transaction will result in the cancellation of 1.34 million units of its publicly-traded senior notes across multiple outstanding series in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate of 4.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $7.0933 per share.

RILY has repurchased 171,703 units of its 5.0% senior notes due 2026 (RILYG) for approximately $4.0 million in cash. Upon closing of the final transaction scheduled for March 13, 2026, the company's outstanding debt will be reduced by approximately $37.9 million.

Bryant Riley, Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer of BRCGH then said, "These senior note transactions, combined with continued appreciation in our investment portfolio, have further reduced our net debt position beyond the preliminary estimates communicated for December 31, 2025. We will continue to utilize multiple strategies to reduce debt and invest in our business”.
