emerging growth company regulatory
"Emerging growth company"
An emerging growth company is a recently public or smaller public firm that qualifies for temporary, lighter regulatory and disclosure rules to reduce the cost and effort of being public. For investors, it means the company may provide less historical financial detail and face fewer reporting requirements than larger firms, so it can grow more quickly but also carries higher uncertainty—like buying a promising early-stage product with fewer user reviews.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains “forward-looking statements” that are subject to substantial risks"
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

A public offering is when a company sells shares to the general public through the stock market, either by issuing new shares to raise cash or by letting existing owners sell their stakes. Think of it like a business opening its doors to many new owners at once: it can bring in money for growth but also increases the number of shares available, which can change the stock price and dilute existing ownership — key factors investors watch closely.

Off The Hook Yachts Expands Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Presence with Two New Strategic Marina Offices

 

New locations in Rhode Island and New Jersey enhance regional market density, increase transaction flow, and support continued broker hiring

 

Wilmington, NC – April 6, 2026 – Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH) (“Off the Hook Yachts” or “Off the Hook” or “the Company”), a vertically integrated, AI-powered marine marketplace and the largest buyer and seller of used boats in the United States, today announced the opening of two new strategic marina-based offices in East Greenwich, Rhode Island and Cape May, New Jersey.

 

“This expansion reflects a deliberate focus on deepening our presence in two of the most active and attractive boating markets on the East Coast,” said Brian John, CEO of Off The Hook Yachts. “By establishing a physical footprint at premier marinas in Rhode Island and Cape May, we’re increasing our ability to source high-quality inventory, accelerate transaction velocity, and better serve both buyers and sellers. Just as importantly, these locations position us to attract top brokerage talent in regions with deep marine expertise, which is a critical component of how we continue to scale the platform.”

 

East Greenwich, Rhode Island – Greenwich Cove Marina

 

Off The Hook Yachts has established its New England headquarters at Greenwich Cove Marina in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.

 

The location provides immediate access to one of the most active and affluent boating regions in the Northeast, including nearby Newport, Block Island, Montauk, Nantucket, Marthas Vineyard and other surrounding coastal communities. Rhode Island’s tax-free status on boat purchases further supports transaction efficiency and buyer demand.

 

The East Greenwich office will serve as the central hub for all New England operations. John Parker—an experienced maritime professional with more than three decades on the water, including time as a U.S. Navy instructor and commercial vessel captain—will be based in East Greenwich and support regional growth initiatives.

 

In addition to its strategic positioning, the marina’s surrounding waterfront environment—featuring high-traffic dining and lifestyle destinations—creates what we believe is a natural platform for brand visibility, client acquisition, and broker recruitment.

 

Cape May, New Jersey – Cape May Marina

 

The Company has also opened a new office at Cape May Marina in Cape May, New Jersey, strengthening its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region.

 

The waterfront office overlooks the marina and is situated within a full-service destination featuring a pool, bar, and grille, providing an ideal setting for client engagement and deal flow.

 

The Cape May office will be spearheaded by Scott White, a 25-year industry veteran who recently joined Off The Hook Yachts from United Yacht Sales. White brings extensive experience in brokerage and regional market development and will lead the Company’s efforts across the Jersey Shore and surrounding markets.
