About Dominari Holdings Inc.

Dominari Holdings Inc. (the "Company"), formerly AIkido Pharma, Inc., was founded in 1967 as Spherix Incorporated. Since 2017, the Company operated as a biotechnology company with a diverse portfolio of small-molecule anticancer and antiviral therapeutics and their related patent technology. The Company is in the process of winding down its historical pipeline of biotechnology assets held by Aikido Labs, LLC. In an effort to enhance shareholder value, in June of 2022, the Company formed a wholly owned financial services subsidiary, Dominari Financial Inc.

Through Dominari Financial, the Company acquired Dominari Securities LLC ("Dominari Securities"), an introducing broker-dealer, registered with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") and an investment adviser registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Dominari Securities provides investment advisory services and annuity and insurance products of certain insurance carriers as an insurance agency through independent and affiliated brokers.
