FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., May 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) (“Splash” or the “Company”), today announced that on April 29, 2026, it received a notice from NYSE Regulation (the “NYSE”) indicating that the Company is not currently in compliance with the NYSE’s continued listing standards related to minimum shareholders’ equity. In accordance with NYSE requirements, the Company is required to submit a plan by May 29, 2026, outlining the actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance. If the plan is accepted, the Company may be granted a cure period extending through January 29, 2027 to restore compliance with the continued listing standards. Management Commentary “Since stepping into this new phase of leadership, our priority has been to bring discipline, transparency, and a rigorous compliance framework to the organization,” said Brady Cobb, Board member of Splash. “We are taking decisive steps to strengthen our balance sheet and align the Company with NYSE standards. Our focus is not just on regaining compliance, but on building a more resilient and accountable enterprise for the long term.” As previously announced, the Company entered into a letter of intent (the “Letter”) with Medterra CBD, LLC (“Medterra”), a leading manufacturer and multi-brand operator of federally compliant cannabinoid wellness products. The parties agreed in principal on the terms of a potential business combination between Medterra and the Company (the “Merger”), which the Merger would be subject to further due diligence and execution of a definitive Merger Agreement and other applicable agreements, including shareholder approval, and customary closing conditions. The Company has delivered a draft of the proposed Merger Agreement to Medterra and is awaiting comments.
