Orlando, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - May 11, 2026) - The LGL Group, Inc. (NYSE American: LGL) ("LGL Group" or the "Company") today announced an offering of subscription rights to raise capital to advance a broad defense technology and resilient infrastructure strategy.

Each Rights holder who is a stockholder of record as of the record date and exercises its full basic subscription rights may also subscribe for any shares of Common Stock that remain unsubscribed at the expiration of the Rights Offering, subject to certain limitations (the "over-subscription privilege").

The Company intends to file a Form S-1 registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the securities issued in this transaction. The commencement of the Rights Offering will occur promptly following the effectiveness of that registration statement. The Company plans to announce additional information regarding the Rights Offering at the time it files the prospectus.

Lamb, LGL Group Chief Executive Officer. "Consistent with recent public statements by our management, we may use proceeds to advance a broader defense technology and resilient infrastructure strategy, including opportunities related to precision timing and frequency and adjacent critical technologies."
