American Rebel Holdings, Inc. Announces Nasdaq Panel Determination, Shareholder Liquidity Plan, and Path Forward on OTC MarketsMay 12, 2026 6:45 PM
ACCESS NewswireCompany Remains Fully Reporting SEC Registrant; Plans Transition to OTCID and OTCQB;
Committed to Building America's Patriotic Brand for 34,000+ ShareholdersNASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / May 12, 2026 / American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB)(NASDAQ:AREBW) ("American Rebel" or the "Company") today announced that a Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the "Panel") has determined to delist the Company's securities for continued non-compliance with Nasdaq's $1.00 minimum bid-price requirement (Listing Rule 5550(a)(2)). Trading in the Company's securities on Nasdaq is expected to be suspended at the open of trading on May 13, 2026.The Company is providing this update directly to its approximately 34,000 beneficial-holder accounts and is committed to full transparency as it executes its plan to preserve shareholder liquidity and continue building long-term value.Shareholder Liquidity Remains the PriorityAmerican Rebel intends to remain a fully reporting SEC registrant and currently expects to pursue quotation on OTC Markets - first on OTCID and then on OTCQB as and when eligible. The Company believes this path represents the most practical and shareholder-focused framework available to maintain public market access, support trading liquidity, and continue executing its operating plan.The Company may request further review of the Panel's decision by the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council within 15 calendar days by submitting the required $15,000 fee. Any such appeal would not stay the Panel's determination. At this time, American Rebel currently expects to focus on its OTC Markets transition planning rather than pursue further review, subject to final Board authorization and consultation with counsel. The Panel's own written decision acknowledged that the Company may be well positioned to seek relisting on a national securities exchange at a later date - an outcome the Company actively intends to pursue.A Word on Market Structure and Shareholder ProtectionsAmerican Rebel respects the Panel's process and the collegial dialogue it has had with Nasdaq. At the same time, the Company believes it is important to be transparent with its shareholders about the broader market dynamics that have disproportionately affected smaller-cap, thinly traded companies like American Rebel.Reverse stock splits are mathematically neutral corporate actions. Like forward stock splits, they change the price-per-share and share count proportionally without altering the economic value of a shareholder's position. The Company undertook each of its reverse stock splits in calendar year 2025 and 2026 with express, proactive shareholder protections embedded in the implementation, including:Round-lot protection: Shareholders holding fewer than 100 shares as of each record date were rounded up to 100 shares, preserving round-lot status and avoiding the market-access consequences of falling below that threshold.Fractional share rounding: All fractional shares resulting from the splits were rounded up to whole shares, ensuring no shareholder received less than they were entitled to.These provisions were among the most shareholder-friendly implementation structures available to any public company executing a reverse split. The Company's actions were designed to protect its retail base - not harm it.The issue, in the Company's view, is what happened in the market upon resumption of trading. In the latest documented instance, despite American Rebel proactively coordinating with Nasdaq on a mid-day opening designed to promote an orderly market, the first trade occurred not at or near the prior session's closing price of approximately $6.46, but at approximately $1.50 - a gap-down of nearly $5.00, or approximately 76.8%, in a structured opening on a national exchange. This is not a pre-market or after-hours anomaly. This occurred during a prescribed, exchange-supervised opening.Unlike after-hours and pre-market sessions, exchange-supervised openings carry an implied expectation of orderly price formation. Nasdaq's own limit up/limit down (LULD) protections are cited as a key benefit of national exchange listing - yet those protections did not prevent a near-77% gap-down at the open of a designed, coordinated mid-day resumption. The Company believes this raises legitimate questions about whether current Nasdaq market structure and disclosure rules surrounding reverse stock splits adequately protect the retail shareholders they are designed to serve - particularly given the role algorithmic and high-frequency trading can play in exploiting publicly disclosed corporate action timelines.American Rebel is not alone in this experience. The Company encourages regulators, exchange operators, and market participants to evaluate whether the current framework for compliance thresholds - particularly the minimum bid price rule - creates unintended signaling effects that invite predatory trading activity and accelerate price deterioration in thinly traded names, ultimately harming the very shareholders it is designed to protect.Financial Update and Shareholder SnapshotAmerican Rebel remains operationally active and financially progressing. Key highlights include:2025 Full-Year Revenue: $9.52 million, as reported in the Company's 2025 Form 10-KQ1 2026 Revenue: $1,985,191 for the period ended March 31, 2026, as reported in the Company's Form 10-QQ1 2026 Stockholders' Equity: $7,185,798 - an increase from $4.38 million at year-end 2025, reflecting equity-strengthening activityCommon Shares Outstanding: 12,245,495 as of May 12, 2026, as reported by the Company's transfer agentThe Company's capital structure remains lean: as of May 12, 2026, issued and outstanding common shares represent just 2.04% of the Company's 600,000,000 authorized shares, with 587,754,505 shares authorized but unissued. This preserves significant structural flexibility for future capital formation and relisting efforts.A Shareholder Base Worth Fighting ForA Broadridge share-range analysis as of the April 14, 2026 record date reflects the deeply retail nature of American Rebel's ownership base across approximately 33,908 positions:Share RangePositionsShares in Range1-2426,56528,30225-991007,126100-2497,132719,103250-4995218,167500-9993021,5151,000+2983,317Approximately 81.9% of all shares in the analysis were held in the 100-249 share range, directly reflecting the round-lot protection that prior corporate actions were designed to preserve. This is not an institutional order book. These are individual Americans who believe in the brand, the company, and the mission - and American Rebel intends to honor that trust.CEO Commentary"We respect the Panel and the process," said Andy Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. "At the same time, we feel a responsibility to speak plainly to our 34,000 shareholders. Reverse stock splits are mathematically neutral - they do not destroy value. What we witnessed in the market upon resumption of trading, however, was a near-77% gap-down at the open on a national exchange. That is not an orderly market. That is real shareholder value destroyed in real time, without the limit up/limit down protections that are supposed to be one of the core benefits of a national listing.""Our shareholders implemented round-lot protection. Our shareholders received fractional rounding. Our shareholders were protected to the greatest degree we could provide in the corporate action itself. T he market structure that surrounded it - that is a conversation the industry needs to have.""We have strong, long-term capital partners who have continued to stand with us. Our beer business is building momentum in a year that could not be better timed - the 250th anniversary of American independence. Our safe and security products business continues to generate revenue. We are evaluating all national exchange options for future relisting, including Nasdaq, NYSE, and emerging alternatives such as the Texas Stock Exchange. We will have options. Our shareholders will have options. We are going to Rebel up, keep building, and come back stronger. Hold my Beer!!!" Path Forward and Relisting OutlookAmerican Rebel intends to:1. Transition to OTC Markets - pursuing OTCID quotation immediately, with OTCQB eligibility to follow as applicable requirements are met2. Maintain full SEC reporting - continuing to file all required periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission3. Execute its operating plan - growing American Rebel Light Beer distribution, leveraging the America 250 tailwind, and continuing safe and security product sales4. Pursue relisting on a national securities exchange - evaluating all available options including Nasdaq, NYSE, and potential future venues such as the Texas Stock Exchange (TXSE)5. Keep shareholders informed - providing regular updates through press releases, SEC filings, and direct shareholder communicationsThe Panel's written decision noted that the Company "may be well positioned to seek relisting at a latter date." American Rebel agrees, and intends to make that a near-term reality.About American Rebel Holdings, Inc.American Rebel Holdings, Inc. is America's Patriotic Brand, offering safes and security products, branded lifestyle merchandise, and American Rebel Light Beer.

American Rebel Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: AREB) American Rebel Light Beer Goes Full Throttle with Branded NHRA Lineup at This Weekend's Southern Nationals in GeorgiaMay 1, 2026 1:40 PM
ACCESS NewswireAmerican Rebel Light Beer - America's Patriotic Beer to be featured across Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle with Leah Pruett, four-time world champion Matt Hagan and John Hall at the 2026 NHRA Southern Nationals; fans can catch the action nationally on FS1NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / May 1, 2026 / American Rebel Beverages, a subsidiary of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB), today announced a high-impact, full-throttle brand presence at this weekend's 41st annual NHRA Southern Nationals, May 1-3, at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, Georgia, where American Rebel Light Beer will be featured across a powerful three-racer lineup at the track and on the national NHRA broadcast. The 2026 NHRA Southern Nationals mark the NHRA Mission Foods Drag Racing Series debut at South Georgia Motorsports Park during NHRA's 75th anniversary season.American Rebel Light Beer - America's Patriotic Beer - will be front and center with Tony Stewart Racing / TSR Nitro, serving as a primary sponsor presence on Leah Pruett's Top Fuel dragster and four-time NHRA Funny Car world champion Matt Hagan's American Rebel Light Beer Funny Car. American Rebel will also be the primary brand on the American Rebel Light Pro Stock Motorcycle ridden by John Hall of John Hall Racing, giving fans a full American Rebel lineup across Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycle."American Rebel Light Beer was built for patriots who love freedom, competition, horsepower and the American way of life - and there is no better place to celebrate that than with NHRA fans in Georgia," said Andy Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. "The NHRA, its fans and the great state of Georgia are all important to American Rebel Light Beer and to American Rebel, America's Patriotic Brand. This weekend, our Patriotic Brand will be flying down the track on Leah Pruett's Top Fuel car, Matt Hagan's Funny Car and John Hall's Pro Stock Motorcycle. We want every fan at the track and every fan watching nationally on FS1 to cheer American Rebel all the way to victory lane. Rebel Up!" The American Rebel lineup enters the Southern Nationals with serious momentum. Pruett, who has returned to Top Fuel competition in 2026, advanced to the final quad last weekend in Charlotte, marking her second final round in three races, and NHRA noted she entered the Southern Nationals third in points in her American Rebel Beer dragster for Tony Stewart Racing. Hagan, a four-time world champion, opened the year with major fireworks, winning the 1,000th NHRA Funny Car race at Pomona and extending his streak to 14 consecutive seasons with at least one win. Hall brings American Rebel horsepower to Pro Stock Motorcycle after major 2025 success on his American Rebel-backed Buell, including a Pro Stock Motorcycle win in Norwalk, Ohio, that ended a nearly 12-year victory drought.For American Rebel, the weekend represents more than sponsorship exposure. It is another major live-event brand activation designed to connect American Rebel Light Beer with one of the most passionate, patriotic and brand-loyal fanbases in motorsports. American Rebel has previously described NHRA fans as a natural audience for the brand, and management believes the combination of trackside visibility, national broadcast exposure, retail execution and distributor engagement helps accelerate consumer awareness and distribution opportunities.National Broadcast Schedule - FS1Fans can catch the 2026 NHRA Southern Nationals on FS1, with qualifying coverage scheduled for Friday, May 1 at 9:30 p.m. ET, additional qualifying coverage on Sunday, May 3 at 1:00 p.m. ET, and eliminations coverage beginning Sunday, May 3 at 7:00 p.m. ET. Final eliminations are scheduled to begin at the track at 11:00 a.m. ET on Sunday."This is exactly the kind of weekend that shows what American Rebel Light Beer is building," added Ross. "We are not just placing logo's. We are building a patriotic consumer movement around a premium domestic light lager, a powerful motorsports platform and a brand that stands tall, stands proud and speaks directly to Americans who love their country."American Rebel Light Beer is produced in partnership with AlcSource and positioned as a premium domestic light lager brewed for consumers seeking crisp, clean refreshment with a lighter feel. American Rebel Light Beer is described in company materials as approximately 100 calories, 3.2g carbohydrates and 4.3% ABV per 12 oz serving, brewed without corn, rice or added sweeteners commonly found in many mass-produced light beers. Since launch, the brand has expanded distribution through agreements in Tennessee, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Florida, Indiana, Virginia, Mississippi, Minnesota, Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, West Virginia and Alabama, and the Company began offering American Rebel Light online in 40 U.S. states in 2025. American Rebel Holdings continues to position American Rebel Light Beer as a growth platform within the U.S. beer market, which industry research estimates at approximately $109 billion in 2025. Management believes the Company's Distribution First Strategy, NHRA relationship, national television visibility and expanding state-by-state footprint provide a compelling opportunity to build American Rebel Light Beer into one of the most recognizable patriotic beer brands in America.American Rebel Light Beer Southern Nationals LineupLeah Pruett - Top Fuel

American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB) Announces American Rebel Light Beer Sales Results - Rebel Light Outsells Every Beer at the 2026 NHRA Gatornationals by 40%, Underscoring Strong Alignment with NHRA FansApril 28, 2026 8:00 AM
ACCESS NewswireAmerican Rebel Light Official Beer Sponsor activation, the American Rebel Light Patriotic Beer Garden, live music on the American Rebel Stage, a high-energy Matt Hagan Total Wine pre-race event, and early on-track success from American Rebel-backed teams highlight growing momentum with consumers, retailers, venue operators, and distribution partnersNASHVILLE, TN / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / American Rebel Beverages, a subsidiary of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB), today announced that American Rebel Light Beer delivered a breakout performance at the 57th Annual AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida, where American Rebel Light Beer outsold every other beer offered at the track by 40%, outperformed a top national brand by 600%, and exceeded that brand's light beer version by 150%.American Rebel - America's Patriotic Beer didn't just show up to the 2026 Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals. It took over.For American Rebel, the weekend was about more than strong sales. Management believes the Gatornationals provided compelling real-world proof that NHRA fans and American Rebel Light Beer are a natural fit. In one of the most patriotic, high-energy, tradition-rich environments in motorsports, fans responded to the brand's message, taste profile, and full-event activation in a way that translated into visible engagement and measurable sell-through. American Rebel Light is America's Patriotic Beer, brewed for Americans who love their country and a great-tasting premium light lager."NHRA is where our people are," said Andy Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. "These are fans who love speed, freedom, competition, country, and the full race-day experience. Gainesville showed exactly why American Rebel Light belongs in that environment. Fans didn't just try the beer - they came back for it, they carried it through the Midway and the grandstands, and they made it clear that America's Patriotic Beer resonates with this audience." As the Official Beer Sponsor of the Gatornationals, American Rebel Light built one of the weekend's most visible brand platforms. The American Rebel Light Patriotic Beer Garden anchored the Midway and became a central gathering place for fans throughout race weekend. The American Rebel Stage kept energy high with live music between nitro sessions, including a performance by Ross, extending the brand from beverage choice to full fan experience. From first-round qualifying through final eliminations, American Rebel Light was positioned not simply as a sponsorship asset, but as part of the atmosphere and identity of the event itself.That alignment was reinforced operationally by Tri-Eagle Sales, American Rebel's distributor partner across North and North Central Florida, which supported on-site execution, cold-box placement, product delivery, and event-level logistics throughout the weekend. The result was a highly visible, high-velocity activation that showcased the brand's ability to perform in a competitive, high-volume live-event environment.The Numbers Don't Lie: Fan Demand For American Rebel Light Beer Was Overwhelming"We were incredibly excited by American Rebel's outstanding performance at the Gatornationals," said Dylan Witt, District Manager - Southeast, Sodexo Live! Sports Division. "Their team was attentive, responsive, and extremely supportive in helping us execute this event...and I found a new Beer! The brand (American Rebel Light) truly resonated with consumers, and the sales results exceeded all expectations. This success has energized our team, and we are actively exploring additional opportunities to support American Rebel across other venues we manage throughout the Southeast. We see great potential for growth and look forward to expanding our partnership."The momentum extended well beyond the track. On the Thursday before race weekend, American Rebel hosted a high-energy meet-and-greet and sampling event with four-time NHRA Funny Car World Champion Matt Hagan at Total Wine & More in Gainesville. Fans lined up well before Hagan arrived, stretching through the lobby and out the door. The event sold more than 50 twelve-packs in a single activation, making it one of the strongest chain-level sampling events in the brand's history and providing another clear signal that trial is converting into purchase."We knew the event would be strong, but the turnout blew us away," said Todd Porter, President of American Rebel Beverages. "What we saw in Gainesville - both at retail and at the track - is exactly what we want our distribution partners, retail accounts, and venue operators to see: when consumers taste Rebel Light and experience the brand in the right setting, they buy it. That kind of trial-to-purchase conversion matters, and it gives us confidence as we continue to expand in Florida and other key markets." "Florida is a cornerstone state for American Rebel Light Beer in 2026, and partnering with Tri-Eagle Sales is a game-changer," said Ross. "Tri-Eagle's market relationships, logistics strength, and disciplined execution will help us turn growing retailer demand into real retail velocity."American Rebel believes the Gatornationals weekend also demonstrates a broader commercial point for wholesalers, retailers, and on-premise partners: American Rebel Light is built for high-engagement occasions. The brand's patriotic positioning, approachable taste profile, race-day energy, and integrated activation model created a powerful combination that drove both traffic and sales. For on-premise operators and venue partners, the weekend showed the brand's ability to hold its own in a crowded, competitive environment. For off-premise retailers, the Total Wine event showed the power of sampling, athlete association, and merchandising to convert interest into immediate sell-through. For distributors, the event offered a scalable playbook that combines sponsorship, field execution, consumer trial, and retail follow-through.America's Beer. America's Race. America's Fans.At 110 calories, 4g of carbs, 4.2% ABV, and zero corn, rice, or shortcuts, American Rebel Light is built for the NHRA and American Rebel fans who showed up in Gainesville and chose it overwhelmingly over every other option. The 2026 Gatornationals proved that when you put America's Patriotic Beer in front of the right crowd, they don't just try it - they come back for more.America's Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand-Your-Ground BeerAmerican Rebel Racing's 2026 NHRA presence also helped put the brand front-and-center with one of motorsports' most loyal fan bases. At the season-opening Gatornationals, both Matt Hagan in Funny Car and Leah Pruett in Top Fuel opened eliminations with first-round victories, while John Hall rode the American Rebel Light Pro Stock Motorcycle all the way to the final round. Management believes that opening-race performance reinforced the energy around the American Rebel brand at the track and extended the weekend's momentum beyond beer sales alone.That momentum has continued through the early part of the 2026 NHRA season. Hagan followed Gainesville by winning the historic 1,000th Funny Car race in NHRA history at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. Pruett reached the final round in Phoenix in just her second race back in Top Fuel competition, and unofficial NHRA points following the fourth event of the season listed Hagan second in Funny Car, Pruett third in Top Fuel, and Hall third in Pro Stock Motorcycle. The Company's driver lineup at Gainesville included Leah Pruett in Top Fuel, Matt Hagan in Funny Car, and John Hall in Pro Stock Motorcycle, giving American Rebel Light Beer meaningful on-track exposure across multiple premier NHRA classes at the very start of the season."We're proud of what the NHRA Gatornationals weekend represented in beer sales at the track," Porter added. "This was not just a sponsorship. It was a brand statement. Our American Rebel Beer Garden, our race-team relationships, our music, our retail event, and our distributor execution all came together to create an unforgettable fan experience. That matters to consumers, and it matters to the accounts and partners who want brands that can create energy, sell product, and build repeat business with American Rebel Light Beer."American Rebel Light is positioned as a premium domestic light lager crafted for consumers who want a crisp, easy-drinking beer with a cleaner ingredient story and a bold brand identity. With approximately 110 calories, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and 4.2% ABV per 12-ounce serving, American Rebel Light is brewed with a 100% all-malt recipe and without the corn, rice, or added sweetener shortcuts often associated with mass-market light beer. Brewed in La Crosse, Wisconsin by City Brewing Company, with recipe development in partnership with the AlcSource beverage innovation team, the product is built for consistency, scale, and broad consumer appeal.Since launch, American Rebel Light has continued to expand under a Distributor-First growth strategy, securing distribution agreements across 18 states and building placements in both on-premise and off-premise accounts. Management believes the Gatornationals performance provides a strong proof point for future growth discussions with chain buyers, independent retailers, venue operators, and distributors seeking brands that can generate authentic consumer connection and visible market momentum."Gainesville was another milestone weekend for American Rebel Light," Ross said. "For retail investors, it showed consumer demand. For retailers and establishments, it showed velocity. For wholesalers and venue partners, it showed execution. And for American Rebel Light Beer, it reinforced something we believe strongly: when America's Patriotic Beer is placed in front of the right crowd, it wins."PUT A CAN IN YOUR HAND: A BETTER-FOR-YOU PREMIUM LIGHT LAGER BUILT TO WINAmerican Rebel Light Beer is America's Patriotic Beer-crafted for beer drinkers who want a crisp, clean, easy-drinking domestic light lager with a "better-for-you" profile, aligned with a brand that celebrates freedom and the American spirit.

"The shares issued to CEDE & Co. for distribution to stockholders affected by the round-lot rounding were an important part of the stockholder-protection mechanics associated with our reverse split, and we believe that issuance addressed the Nasdaq Publicly Held Shares deficiency. Broadridge's range analysis also highlights the breadth of our shareholder base, with a significant majority of beneficial holders owning positions below 250 shares. We remain focused on transparency, compliance, and executing our business plan as America's Patriotic Brand."Per a transfer agent report generated this morning, the Company's most recent common shares issued and outstanding are 4,132,655.Based on Broadridge's Share Range Analysis, with a record date of April 14, 2026 and last updated April 22, 2026 at 2:52 a.m., approximately 86% of American Rebel's approximately 33,908 beneficial shareholders held positions under 250 shares as of the record date, with nearly 82% of holders owning between 100 and 249 shares.
