cbdMD has removed NYSE American compliance risk, stabilizing its listing status.

cbdMD, Inc. received a letter from NYSE Regulation on December 5, 2025 confirming it is back in compliance with all NYSE American continued listing standards in Part 10 of the Company Guide. This resolves earlier deficiencies cited under Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii), which had placed the company on the exchange’s noncompliant issuer list.

The company will now be monitored under the exchange’s standard continued listing procedures, aligning its oversight with compliant peers.

Investors can reference the company’s December 8, 2025 press release (Exhibit 99.1) for additional context around this status change, as it outlines the announcement that compliance has been regained.
