Rhea-AI Summary

Firma Holdings (OTC PINK: FRMA) announced an integrated, asset-backed platform strategy and expansion of U.S. operating initiatives on February 4, 2026. The company described multi-year international evaluations and the formation of regionally focused Saddle Creek entities to centralize asset oversight and scalable execution.

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESS Newswire / February 4, 2026 / Firma Holdings Corporation (OTC PINK:FRMA) today announced the continued execution of its integrated, asset-backed platform strategy following a multi-year period of international relationship development, opportunity evaluation, and structured finance engagement across commodities, mining, and alternative asset sectors.

Over the past two years, FRMA conducted international discussions and evaluations across Africa, the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and Asia. These activities provided exposure to a broad range of counterparties and transaction structures, including precious metals, commodities settlement, and secured finance frameworks, offering valuable insight into jurisdictional governance, execution dynamics, and asset control considerations.

Rather than relying on fragmented, transaction-by-transaction arrangements, FRMA consolidated its operating experience into an integrated, platform-based model designed for consistency, governance, and scalable execution. This strategy led to the formation of multiple regionally focused Saddle Creek entities, including SCRC S2C, SCRC Zambia, and SCRC ME-FZC (UAE), each structured to enhance asset oversight and operational discipline.

These initiatives reflect FRMA's broader transition toward internally controlled, asset-backed operating platforms capable of supporting long-term institutional engagement and repeatable capital deployment.

U.S. Platform Development and AKDI Engagement

As part of this strategy, FRMA has prioritized the development and optimization of U.S.-based operating assets, including its current engagement with American Kitchen Delights, Inc. ("AKDI"). Through this relationship, FRMA is supporting business development initiatives, financial restructuring and reporting alignment, operational deployment of equipment and platform resources, and the incorporation of FRMA's advisory and governance framework into AKDI's long-term operating plan.

FRMA's engagement with AKDI is advisory and collaborative in nature and does not involve any change in ownership, management control, voting rights, or corporate structure of AKDI. For informational and due diligence reference purposes, American Kitchen Delights, Inc. maintains publicly accessible materials at www.akdi.org.

In addition, FRMA is assisting AKDI in evaluating and conducting due diligence on additional strategic assets, including a marina property in Riverdale, Illinois, adjacent industrial acreage with warehouse, the Gary, Indiana redevelopment site, and the potential expansion of operations through a secondary facility in South Holland, IL.

These initiatives are intended to enhance asset utilization, improve capital efficiency, support scalable growth, and position AKDI for expanded operating capacity and long-term institutional engagement, while preserving AKDI's independent operating and financing relationships.

"These evaluations were instrumental in shaping our long-term strategy," said a spokesperson for FRMA. "They reinforced the importance of asset control, transparency, and disciplined execution in today's capital markets environment."

International Evaluation Activities

In connection with certain historical international evaluation activities, FRMA interacted with various third-party counterparties, including Namaboo Holdings Ltd., for the limited purpose of assessing potential asset-backed and commodity-related structures. These activities were exploratory and non-exclusive in nature and did not result in any material operating partnerships, equity interests, or control arrangements.
