I. Related Party Transactions<br />

The following is a summary of certain related party transactions. Further details regarding these and other relationships appear in our Proxy Statement for our 2007 Annual Meeting<br />

of Shareholders.<br />

GGCP, <strong>Inc</strong>. owns a majority of the outstanding shares of class B common stock of <strong>GAMCO</strong> <strong>Investors</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>., which ownership represented approximately 95% of the combined<br />

voting power of the outstanding common stock and approximately 72% of the equity interest on December 31, 2006.<br />

As of December 5, 1997, GGCP entered into a master lease agreement with an entity controlled by members of Mr. Mario <strong>Gabelli</strong>’s immediate family, which expires on April 30,<br />

2013. As of February 9, 1999, GGCP assigned all of its rights and obligations under the master lease to GBL. GBL leases space in the Building to a company for which Mr.<br />

Mario <strong>Gabelli</strong> (“Mr. <strong>Gabelli</strong>”) serves as Chairman and is a significant stockholder.<br />

On May 31, 2006, we entered into an Exchange and Standstill Agreement with Frederick J. Mancheski, a significant shareholder, pursuant to which, among other things, he agreed<br />

to exchange his 2,071,635 shares of our class B common stock for an equal number of shares of our class A common stock. Certain shareholders of GGCP, including two of our<br />

officers and a director, who received shares of our class B common stock in a distribution from GGCP, also agreed to exchange their shares of our class B common stock for an<br />

equal number of shares of our class A common stock. Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement that we entered into with Mr. Mancheski, we filed a shelf registration statement<br />

that was declared effective by the SEC on September 1, 2006 for the sale by Mr. Mancheski and others, including certain of our officers, employees and a director, of up to<br />

2,486,763 shares of our class A common stock.<br />

Prior to its initial public offering in February 1999, GBL and GGCP entered into a Management Services Agreement, with a one-year term and renewable annually, under which<br />

GBL provides certain services for GGCP, including furnishing office space and equipment, providing insurance coverage, overseeing the administration of its business and providing<br />

personnel to perform certain administrative services. Pursuant to the Management Services Agreement, GGCP paid GBL $200,000 in each of 2004, 2005 and 2006 for services<br />

provided.<br />

GBL has entered into agreements to provide advisory and administrative services to MJG Associates, <strong>Inc</strong>., an entity owned by Mr. <strong>Gabelli</strong> with respect to the private investment<br />

funds managed by it. Pursuant to such agreement, MJG Associates, <strong>Inc</strong>. pays GBL for services provided.<br />

Mr. <strong>Gabelli</strong> and GSI serve as co-general partners of <strong>Gabelli</strong> Associates Fund, L.P. (“GAF.”), one of the investment partnerships consolidated for the period through March 31,<br />

2006 under FIN 46R and EITF 04-5. Mr. <strong>Gabelli</strong> receives relationship manager and portfolio manager compensation through an incentive fee allocation directly from GAF.<br />

<strong>Gabelli</strong> Securities International Limited ("<strong>Gabelli</strong> Securities International") was formed in 1994 to provide management and investment advisory services to offshore funds and<br />
