Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Splash Beverage Group filed an update describing its status with the NYSE American and its ongoing strategic review. The company previously received notice on April 29, 2026 that it is not in compliance with continued listing standards tied to stockholders’ equity and has submitted a remediation plan, with a potential cure period extending through January 29, 2027 if the plan is accepted. Management emphasizes its focus on maintaining the NYSE American listing and strengthening the balance sheet. The update also notes that a non-binding Letter of Intent with Medterra CBD, LLC expired on May 4, 2026 without a definitive deal, but the company is in discussions with multiple other counterparties in the cannabinoid wellness sector. In addition, the company highlights that its 2025 audited financial statements include an auditor’s going concern explanatory paragraph, signaling uncertainty about its ability to continue operating without additional financial improvements.

Positive

  • None.

Negative

  • NYSE American listing deficiency and cure risk: The company has been notified it is not in compliance with continued listing standards related to stockholders’ equity and is awaiting a decision on its submitted compliance plan, creating uncertainty over its NYSE American listing status.
  • Auditor going concern explanatory paragraph: The audit opinion on the 2025 financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, underscoring material risk around liquidity and long-term viability.

Insights

Listing deficiency and going concern language increase risk around SBEV.

Splash Beverage Group confirms two major pressure points: an NYSE American listing deficiency tied to stockholders’ equity and an auditor opinion including a going concern explanatory paragraph for the year ended December 31, 2025. Both highlight balance sheet and funding challenges.

The company has submitted a compliance plan and may receive a cure period through January 29, 2027 if the exchange accepts it, but that outcome is not assured. Simultaneously, the strategic review has shifted after the Medterra CBD, LLC Letter of Intent expired without a definitive agreement, leaving future transactions uncertain.

Management is now in preliminary negotiations with multiple parties in the cannabinoid wellness space, aiming for a deal that supports long-term value and mitigates dilution. Actual impact will depend on NYSE American’s decision on the plan and whether any strategic transaction progresses from discussions to signed, financed deals.

NYSE American compliance process regulatory
"provided a corporate update regarding its NYSE American compliance process, ongoing strategic transaction initiatives"
going concern financial
"include an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern"
A going concern is a business that is expected to continue its operations and meet its obligations for the foreseeable future, rather than shutting down or selling off assets. This assumption matters to investors because it indicates stability and ongoing profitability, making the business a more reliable investment. Think of it as believing a restaurant will stay open and serve customers, rather than closing down suddenly.
Letter of Intent financial
"the previously announced non-binding Letter of Intent with Medterra CBD, LLC expired on May 4, 2026"
A letter of intent is a document that shows an agreement in principle between parties to work towards a future deal or transaction. It outlines their intentions and key terms, acting like a roadmap before a formal contract is signed. For investors, it signals serious interest and helps clarify expectations early in the process.
cannabinoid wellness technical
"transformation toward the cannabinoid wellness sector"
forward-looking statements regulatory
"This press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995"
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.

Splash Beverage Group Provides Corporate Update on NYSE Compliance Process and Strategic Transaction Initiatives

 

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., June 3, 2026 – Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) (“Splash” or the “Company”), today provided a corporate update regarding its NYSE American compliance process, ongoing strategic transaction initiatives, and certain required disclosures.

 

NYSE American Compliance Update

 

As previously disclosed on May 5, 2026, the Company received notice from NYSE Regulation on April 29, 2026 indicating that the Company was not in compliance with certain continued listing standards related to stockholders’ equity.

 

In accordance with NYSE American requirements, Splash submitted its compliance plan to the Exchange on May 28, 2026 outlining actions management has taken and intends to take in an effort to restore compliance with applicable listing standards. The Company is currently engaged in ongoing dialogue with NYSE American staff and is awaiting a determination regarding the plan.

 

If accepted, the plan would permit the Company to continue executing its compliance initiatives during a cure period that could extend through January 29, 2027. While no assurance can be given regarding the Exchange’s determination, management remains focused on maintaining the Company’s NYSE American listing and advancing initiatives designed to strengthen its financial position.

 

Strategic Transaction Update

 

As disclosed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on May 20, 2026, the previously announced non-binding Letter of Intent with Medterra CBD, LLC expired on May 4, 2026 without execution of a definitive agreement.

 

The Letter of Intent was non-exclusive, and since its expiration the Company has continued actively evaluating strategic opportunities aligned with its transformation toward the cannabinoid wellness sector. Management is currently engaged in discussions with multiple potential transaction counterparties and has advanced preliminary negotiations with select parties.

 

The Company is evaluating several strong opportunities based on several key criteria, including strategic fit, long-term shareholder value creation, capital structure considerations, and the potential to mitigate dilution while supporting future growth initiatives.

 

As part of that, Splash believes the cannabinoid wellness industry continues to present compelling opportunities for consolidation, brand development, and platform creation, supported by evolving federal rules supporting the industry. The Company remains focused on identifying opportunities that leverage its public company infrastructure while supporting established operators and brands within the federally compliant hemp-derived cannabinoid marketplace and, subject to applicable regulatory and exchange approvals, broader cannabinoid wellness categories.

 

Management Commentary

 

“We continue to make progress on multiple fronts,” said Brady Cobb, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Splash Beverage Group. “The submission of our NYSE compliance plan represents an important milestone, while our strategic review process remains active and focused on identifying opportunities that we believe can create long-term value for shareholders. Our objective is to execute a transaction that is strategically compelling, financially responsible, and aligned with our vision of building a leading cannabinoid wellness platform.”

 

 

 

Going Concern Disclosure

 

Pursuant to Section 610(b) of the NYSE American Company Guide, the Company reports that its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 15, 2026, contain an audit opinion from its independent registered public accounting firm that includes an explanatory paragraph regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

This disclosure is being made solely to satisfy NYSE American requirements and does not reflect any amendment or restatement of the Company’s previously filed financial statements or Annual Report on Form 10-K.
