Unlocking New Opportunities for Investors in Premium Entertainment Growth, as its Development Pipeline Scales Nationwide and Institutional Interest Deepens

Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the “Company”) (NYSE American: VENU), a developer, owner, and operator of upscale live music venues and premium hospitality destinations, today announced that options on its common stock have been listed and are now available for trading on select U.S. options exchanges.

The availability of options on VENU provides investors with additional tools for managing risk, enhancing portfolio strategies, and increasing exposure to the company’s equity through leveraged positions. Listed options typically offer both institutional and retail investors more flexibility around entry points, hedging, and trading around key catalysts.

“This options eligibility reflects VENU’s increasing visibility and liquidity in the public markets and marks a pivotal step in broadening investor flexibility and access to VENU's transformative story, as we continue to expand access and engagement within the capital markets,” said J.W. Roth, Founder and CEO of VENU. “With our national venue rollout accelerating and investor interest growing, the introduction of options trading reflects increased market visibility and liquidity in our stock.”

VENU joins a select group of emerging growth companies whose equity options are made available, generally subject to listing standards set by the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) and U.S. options exchanges such as NYSE American Options, Cboe, and Nasdaq PHLX.

Investors can now utilize standard equity option strategies, including calls, puts, spreads, and hedging approaches, to trade around VENU’s underlying shares, which have attracted increasing attention following its multi-billion-dollar pipeline of next-generation live entertainment venues.

VENU's portfolio features innovative venues like the more than 9,000-seat Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, which hosted 20 national acts and 100,000+ fans in its 2024 debut, earning a Pollstar nomination for Best New Concert Venue. Upcoming projects, such as the 12,500-seat Sunset Amphitheater at El Paso (groundbreaking November 19, 2025), are backed by $31.5 million in incentives and projected to generate $5.4 billion in economic impact over 20 years. The company's Luxe FireSuites and Aikman Club offerings, with $200 million in 2025 sales targets, further drive recurring revenue through premium memberships and partnerships like AEG Presents.
