Listing & Corporate Finance Analyst

Nasdaq confirms American Rebel met the $2.5M equity rule; listing continues with a one-year monitoring period.

American Rebel moved from a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $(8.0) million on March 31, 2025 to positive stockholders’ equity of $3,378,257 as of September 30, 2025, surpassing the $2.5 million Nasdaq threshold required by Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). The Nasdaq Hearings Panel’s written determination dated November 21, 2025 confirms the Company satisfied the previously granted exception and will remain listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol AREB.

The Company now enters a mandatory one-year Panel monitoring period under Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B); if equity again drops below the threshold during that year, Nasdaq staff must issue an immediate delisting determination without another cure period (the Company may still request a hearing). The improvement reflects an aggregate swing in reported equity of roughly $11.4 million from March 31, 2025 to September 30, 2025, which materially altered the risk profile for continued listing but leaves the company on a watchlist rather than freeing it from future compliance risk.

Watchable items over the next 12 months include quarterly filings that preserve positive equity and the Panel monitoring end date (one year from the Panel’s November 21, 2025 letter). Maintain focus on recurring ability to sustain or grow stockholders’ equity and any disclosures describing the specific corporate actions that produced the improvement; these items determine whether compliance is durable or a short-term fix.

Nasdaq Hearings Panel Confirms American Rebel Holdings, Inc. Has Met $2.5 Million Stockholders’ Equity Rule; American Rebel Holdings, Inc. is fully Compliant and Remains Listed on The Nasdaq Capital Market

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Rebel Holdings, Inc.

The Panel’s compliance determination follows the Company’s filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025, on November 10, 2025, which reported stockholders’ equity of $3,378,257—above the required $2.5 million threshold and in line with the Panel’s prior directive that American Rebel evidence compliance with the Equity Rule on or before November 15, 2025. As a result, American Rebel’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AREB.”

Andy Ross – CEO of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. Commentary

“The compliance notice from the Nasdaq Hearings Panel on Friday, November 21, 2025, is an important milestone for American Rebel and for all of our stockholders,” said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. “We believe a Nasdaq listing is a critical asset for our Company—it supports liquidity, helps broaden our investor base, and reinforces the level of transparency and governance we strive to deliver. We are fully committed to taking whatever corporate actions are necessary to remain in compliance with Nasdaq’s standards because we believe it is in the best interests of both our current and future stockholders as we continue to build the next great American company, American Rebel Holdings, Inc.”

Nasdaq Panel Determination Confirming Compliance for Continued Listing for AREB

In its November 21, 2025, letter, the Panel advised that, based on the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Staff’s compliance worksheet, American Rebel has satisfied the exception previously granted under the Equity Rule. Under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5815(d)(4)(B), the Company will be subject to a mandatory one-year Panel monitoring period beginning on the date of the letter.

During this monitoring period, if the Company again falls out of compliance with the Equity Rule, Nasdaq staff will be required to issue an immediate delisting determination without offering an additional cure or plan-of-compliance period, although the Company would retain the right to request a new hearing before a Nasdaq hearings panel.

American Rebel Holdings, Inc. Significant Improvement in Stockholders’ Equity

The Panel’s decision caps a multi-quarter effort by American Rebel to resolve its stockholders’ equity deficiency following Nasdaq’s February 19, 2025 notification that the Company did not meet the Equity Rule as of September 30, 2024. Over the course of 2025, American Rebel executed a series of strategic and corporate initiatives designed to strengthen its balance sheet and restore positive equity, which were reflected in its quarterly filings:

• As disclosed in its Q1 2025 Form 10-Q, the Company reported a stockholders’ deficit of approximately $(8.0) million as of March 31, 2025.
• By June 30, 2025, the deficit had narrowed to approximately $(3.1) million, as disclosed in its Q2 2025 Form 10-Q.
• As reported in the Q3 2025 Form 10-Q, stockholders’ equity improved to a positive $3,378,257 as of September 30, 2025—an improvement of roughly $11.4 million from March 31, 2025, and approximately $6.5 million from June 30, 2025.
  

This progression from a material deficit to positive equity above the Nasdaq standard is also illustrated in the Company’s stockholder equity chart comparing the periods ended September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, March 31, 2025, June 30, 2025, and September 30, 2025, demonstrating consistent quarter-over-quarter improvement through September 30, 2025.
