FreeCast Announces Expiration of April 2026 Warrants and Return of Reserved Shares to Authorized but Unissued StatusJune 2, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire FreeCast, Inc. (Nasdaq: CAST), a digital streaming and media technology company, today announced that substantially all warrants issued in April 2026 to accredited investors have expired unexercised, resulting in the return of 6,493,587 previously reserved shares of Class A common stock to the status of authorized but unissued shares. The warrants were originally issued on April 8, 2026, to 137 accredited investors and represented the right to purchase an aggregate of 6,743,587 shares of FreeCast Class A common stock. The warrants were initially issued with an exercise price of $4.25 per share and an expiration date of May 15, 2026. On May 8, 2026, FreeCast’s Board of Directors approved an amendment reducing the exercise price to $1.33 per share and extending the expiration date to May 22, 2026. Two warrant holders exercised warrants representing an aggregate of 250,000 shares of Class A common stock. In connection with those exercises, FreeCast received aggregate proceeds of $332,500. All remaining warrants expired unexercised on May 22, 2026. As a result, the 6,493,587 shares previously reserved for issuance under those warrants are no longer reserved and have reverted to authorized but unissued status. FreeCast believes the expiration of the unexercised warrants materially reduces the amount of near-term potentially issuable shares associated with the April 2026 warrant issuance while preserving the Company’s authorized share capacity for general corporate purposes and future strategic flexibility. The shares issued upon exercise of the warrants were issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder. The investors represented that they were accredited investors acquiring the securities for investment purposes only.

FreeCast’s RSN Alternative Offers New Monetization Opportunities for Major League, College, and Semi-Pro SportsMay 8, 2026 6:00 AM
Business Wire With Regional Streaming Sports Channels, FreeCast throws its hat into the ring for big league sports distribution. FreeCast is launching a new initiative with the potential to transform how consumers access sports in the streaming era: Regional Streaming Sports Channels (RSSCs). As sports, like the rest of the streaming ecosystem, become fragmented across dozens of different providers, a unified sports streaming solution is becoming an economic necessity for the nation’s major league sports. FreeCast is now making an appeal to the National Basketball Association, Major League Baseball, and National Hockey League in particular, as each of these sports are most impacted by the ongoing collapse of Regional Sports Networks (RSNs). This also presents a first-of-its-kind opportunity for minor and semi-pro sports leagues and collegiate sports that don’t currently enjoy streaming or television deals. RSSC’s will be powered by FreeCast’s Broadcast Enable Streaming Television (BEST) technology, allowing the delivery of games and other programming directly to local markets, across different devices, via over-the-air broadcast and geo-fenced streaming. As RSN bankruptcies leave a number of teams across different sports leagues scrambling for new distribution options, FreeCast’s RSSCs offer a turn-key alternative without complex rights negotiations or building costly infrastructure. Teams will be able to: Launch their own branded regional channels instantly. Reach fans via both over-the-air broadcast and streaming apps simultaneously. Retain control of content and distribution with multiple monetization options. In addition to simplifying distribution and fans’ access to games, each RSSC channel can function as a fully integrated T-commerce hub, supporting advanced ad tech and sponsorships, e-commerce and merchandising, fan communities, and first-party data ownership. This creates multiple reliable revenue streams for teams, unlike massive sports streaming rights deals which often strain the financial stability of the very distributors that they create a dependence on. FreeCast CEO William Mobley described the impetus for a new sports streaming model: “Streaming services are spending big on sports because it’s basically an arms race right now. If you do the math on these multi-billion-dollar deals, there’s almost no way the big SVOD players make money. Long term, that’s not sustainable, and that’s going to become a big problem for everyone: SVOD services that now have those costs on their balance sheets, subscribers who are going to face higher fees, and eventually the sports leagues who aren’t going to keep getting that blank check when the economics don’t work for everyone else. We’re offering a solution that gives leagues and teams multi-channel distribution and innovative monetization options. That way they can control their revenue streams and ensure their fans have access.” With the fundamental economics of sports changing, FreeCast offers teams a key advantage over traditional streaming rights deals. About FreeCast, Inc. FreeCast, Inc. is a global media infrastructure company delivering a unified Platform-as-a-Service ecosystem for modern television and digital video distribution. Serving telecom operators, ISPs, municipalities, enterprises, and major brands, FreeCast enables fully integrated, branded streaming environments without the need to build proprietary backend systems. Its platform combines content aggregation, subscription bundling, payment management, broadcast-to-streaming integration, and cross-device monetization into a single global infrastructure layer.
