AMERICAN REBEL HOLDINGS INC 8-K

What Happened

• American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (AREB) filed an 8-K reporting that its board approved a 1-for-100 reverse stock split of its common stock, effective at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time on March 23, 2026. The reverse split was authorized by stockholders (who approved up to a 1-for-250 split) and the board chose the 1-for-100 ratio. Common stock and publicly traded warrants (symbol AREBW) are expected to begin trading on a reverse-split adjusted basis on Nasdaq on March 23, 2026. The company issued a press release on March 19, 2026 and disclosed an upcoming Nasdaq hearing on March 24, 2026.

Key Details

• Reverse split ratio: 1-for-100 (board-selected from stockholder-approved up to 1-for-250). Effective: 12:00 a.m. ET, March 23, 2026.
• Trading: Common symbol remains AREB; new common CUSIP 02919L885. Warrants remain AREBW (CUSIP 02919L117) and will be adjusted (quantity reduced, exercise price increased) — warrants will not be reversed.
• Fractional shares: no fractional shares will be issued; fractional interests will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. No current owner of 100+ shares will be reduced to fewer than 100 shares.
• Other securities: Authorized preferred stock (10,000,000 shares) and par values unchanged; conversion/voting rights for Series A, C and D preferred securities remain as stated in the filing. Transfer agent and exchange/pay agent: Securities Transfer Corporation.

Why It Matters

• For holders, the reverse split reduces the number of outstanding shares and increases the per-share price proportionally; each holder’s percentage ownership and voting power remains essentially the same except for minor rounding adjustments. Options, warrants and other convertible securities will be adjusted so holders can buy fewer shares at a higher per-share price (same total cost).
• The company says the split aims to improve marketability and help regain compliance with Nasdaq’s $1.00 minimum bid-price requirement, which could affect continued listing. Investors should note the timing (March 23 trading adjustment and Nasdaq hearing March 24) and that while the split does not change fundamental ownership percentages, it can affect liquidity and share price behavior.
