Dominari Holdings Issues Shareholder Letter

Company Reports Revenue of $35.8 million up 395% from prior year

Total Capital invested across all SPV Series: approximately $292 million

Record Date of May 15^th for $9 Million Dividend Payment

NEW YORK, May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Dominari Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:DOMH) ("Dominari" or the "Company") today issued the following letter to shareholders:

Dear Shareholder,

As we approach mid-year, I want to take this opportunity to thank you for being a Dominari shareholder and provide you with some updates.

10Q Summary

The year is off to a strong start. As noted in our 10Q just filed with the SEC, first quarter revenue is up significantly, and we have increased our annual recurring revenue. Highlights from the 10Q include:

• Revenue of $35.8 million, up 395% from the prior year's first quarter's revenue of $7.2 million.
• Underwriting revenues totaled $32.9 million in Q1 2026 as compared to $5.6 million for Q1 2025, representing a 488% increase.
• Carried interest totaled $1.1 million as compared to no such revenue in Q1 2025.
• The Company's annual recurring revenue (ARR) increased to $1.1 million from $0.4 million at the end of Q1 2025, reflecting an increase of 189%.

I encourage all shareholders to review the 10Q, which has been filed with the SEC.

Company Legacy Holdings

In addition, I'd like to discuss the Company's portfolio of legacy holdings. Dominari's wholly owned subsidiary, Dominari Labs, holds a portfolio of investments consisting of a mix of private company equity investments, public market holdings, preferred securities, convertible instruments, and warrant-enhanced positions. Some of our positions have seen significant unrealized appreciation, led by xAI, Groq, Cerebras, Skyline Builders Group, Datacentrex, and JFB Construction Holdings. As of mid-April 2026, the market value of our holdings in Dominari Labs exceeded $5,000,000.00. It is our intent to liquidate these positions when appropriate to augment shareholder value.

Special Purpose Vehicles

Another area of shareholder value is in our Special Purpose Vehicles ("SPVs"). There are speculative stories in the press about these SPVs, how they work and how Dominari runs our process. Much of what is in the media is incorrect. So, to clarify any potential confusion, I'd like to explain how our process works generally, keeping in mind that every situation is different. 

Generally, Dominari has two types of SPVs, "Unicorn SPVs" and "Venture SPVs." Unicorn SPVs, as the name suggests, focus on raising money to purchase shares in private companies with a valuation of one billion dollars or more, that are expected to go public. Examples of our Unicorn SPVs include the names such as, SpaceX, xAI, Groq, Cerebras.

The second type of SPVs are referred to as Venture SPVs. To start, Dominari establishes a new Venture SPV for every new project. We then raise money for each new SPV, often without a specific target or use of proceeds in mind. Next, we work to identify public vehicles with operating businesses that might benefit from augmented business lines. Once a public vehicle has been identified, we conduct due diligence and collaborate with the public entity to align management with concept of augmenting its existing business. Once those issues, if any, are resolved, we then may take a position in the public entity for our clients and occasionally Dominari, through our SPVs. All of this work is done by Dominari, not our investors or advisors.

Our investment thesis is simple: We identify and invest in U.S.-based leaders in new technologies that create American jobs and reduce U.S. dependence on foreign resources. The Skyline Builders/Kaz Resources transaction is an example. An American Venture SPV was formed, money was raised, and the work with Skyline Builders was performed before Kaz Resources was even approached. We then found an opportunity in Kaz Resources to lessen U.S. dependance on foreign governments for the incredibly important rare mineral of tungsten. Tungsten is crucial for the aerospace industry, military applications, electrical contacts, and heating elements. According to the U.S. Geological Survey, tungsten is not actively mined in the U.S. and approximately 80% of the world supply of tungsten is mined in China. So, in keeping with our thesis of creating American jobs and lessening our dependance on foreign governments, the combination of these two entities, created a more meaningful U.S. company that can help support America.

With that background, a summary of the combined SPV data of all funds as of mid-April shows:

• Total capital invested across all series: approximately $292 million.
• Total estimated value of all series: approximately $1.27 billion.
• Estimated carry to Dominari: approximately $110 million.

The estimated carry referenced above changes constantly, due to market conditions. However, the "carry" is potential revenue for the Company, representing significant value for our shareholders.

Dividends

In addition to the above, as recently announced, the Dominari board of directors has authorized a special cash dividend of, in the aggregate, approximately $9 million, or approximately $0.31 per share. The dividend is payable on or about May 29, 2026, to DOMH's common stock shareholders and certain DOMH warrant holders (on an as-exercised basis) of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2026. This represents the second cash dividend paid this year and is in addition to the approximately $22,000,000.00 we have already paid to shareholders in the last 18 months. We believe this shows our continual efforts to return value directly to our shareholders.

It is the intent of the Company to continue to work to build shareholder value and, when financially responsible, to make additional dividend distributions in the future, subject to market conditions and appropriate due diligence.

On behalf of all employees, we hope you find this update helpful, and we thank you for being a Dominari shareholder.

Sincerely,

Anthony Hayes

CEO, Dominari Holdings Inc.
