Explanation of Responses:

1. Bruce M. Rogers and Carollinn Gould, husband and wife, and their family, including trusts or custodial accounts of minor children of each of Mr. Rodgers and Ms. Gould, own 100% of the outstanding membership interests of BRR Holding, LLC. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these shares except to the extent of the reporting person's pecuniary interest in the shares.

2. Options were granted under the LM Funding America, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan. These options are fully vested as of the date of this Form 4.

3. Option awards to purchase shares of common stock were granted under the Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, as amended on November 18, 2022 (the "Plan"). Shares subject to the options will vest as to one-half on the 180th day after the grant date and as to one-half on the date that is the first anniversary of the grant date. Unvested awards will become fully vested upon a Change of Control, as that term is used in the Plan.
