American Rebel Holdings Updates Shareholders After 1-for-100 Reverse Split

American Rebel Holdings provided stockholders with an update following the effectiveness of its 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its common stock and publicly traded warrants on March 23, 2026. This press release is also being issued to publicly disclose the Company's receipt on March 23, 2026, of an Additional Staff Determination Letter from Nasdaq relating to the minimum publicly held shares requirement for continued listing. The Company is also correcting its post-reverse-split common shares outstanding disclosure. Based on the latest transfer agent report received by the Company as of the close of business on March 23, 2026, American Rebel reports 227,554 currently issued and outstanding common shares on a post-reverse-split basis. The Company believes this 227,554 figure should be used as the corrected current outstanding common share count. Due to a clerical error with the Company's transfer agent's web portal, the post-reverse share estimate was originally anticipated to be approximately 247,988. The Company's 1-for-100 reverse stock split is now effective. The Company's common stock continues under the symbol "AREB" and its publicly traded warrants continue under the symbol "AREBW." The split-adjusted prior reference price for the common stock remains $6.46, and no post-split trades have occurred today because the Company's securities remain halted on Nasdaq pending compliance with the minimum publicly held shares requirement for continued listing. As per the Company's strategy to preserve an orderly opening post the reverse stock split, and in preparation for today's Nasdaq Hearings Panel appeal, the Company had previously requested that Nasdaq MarketWatch maintain the normal reverse-split regulatory halt through the thin-liquidity early pre-market session and reopen the security during regular market hours through the Nasdaq Halt Cross in order to preserve a fair and orderly market and avoid distorted pricing before Nasdaq's normal regular-hours market protections are fully in effect. This request was made prior to receipt of the Nasdaq additional deficiency letter regarding the minimum publicly held shares requirement and Nasdaq's decision to halt the trading of the Company's common shares on March 23, 2026. To ensure stockholders have sufficient information regarding Nasdaq's March 23, 2026, notice, the Company is including below selected excerpts from the Additional Staff Determination Letter attached to this release: "On March 23, 2026, the Company effected a 1-for-100 reverse stock split. This resulted in the Company having a post reverse stock split publicly shares number of 247,279. As a result, the Company does not comply with the minimum 500,000 Publicly Held Shares requirement for continued inclusion set forth in Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). Accordingly, this matter serves as an additional basis for delisting the Company's securities from The Nasdaq Stock Market. This is formal notification that the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will consider this matter in rendering a determination regarding the Company's continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market. Pursuant to Listing Rule 5810(d), the Company should present its views with respect to this additional deficiency at its Panel hearing. If the Company fails to address the aforementioned issue, the Panel will consider the record as presented at the hearing and will make its determination based upon that information. In addition, Staff notes that under Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will remain non-compliant with both the minimum $1 bid price requirement until the Publicly Held shares deficiency is cured and, thereafter, the Company meets the bid price standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless Staff exercises its discretion to extend this 10 day period as discussed in Rule 5810(c)(3)(H)."
