Over the last two months, American Rebel has combined corporate actions with brand-building efforts. A 1-for-100 reverse split in late March aimed at Nasdaq compliance was followed by a -20.6% reaction. Earlier, marketing and sponsorship news around American Rebel Light beer and Champion Safe—such as NHRA event sponsorships and sales momentum updates—produced mixed price responses, from +10.66% to -6.38%. Against this backdrop, the latest update on Nasdaq trading resumption and shareholder structure continues a theme of listing-compliance focus alongside brand expansion.

Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions, and projections and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances, many of which are outside the Company's control. Although Nasdaq has announced the resumption of trading in the Company's securities, there can be no assurance that the Company has regained compliance with all applicable Nasdaq continued listing requirements, that Nasdaq Staff or the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will agree with the Company's belief that the CEDE & Co. share issuance cures the Publicly Held Shares deficiency, or that the Company will receive any favorable future determination from Nasdaq Staff, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, or any other Nasdaq adjudicatory body.

During the monitoring period, if Nasdaq Staff determines that the Company is again out of compliance with the Equity Rule, the Company may not be permitted to submit a compliance plan or receive additional Staff-level time to regain compliance, and Nasdaq Staff may issue a Delist Determination Letter.
