Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. To Strengthen Balance Sheet by $31 Million Through CEO-Led Capital Restructuring

CORNELIUS, N.C., June 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Modus Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMOD), an emerging leader in AI-driven retail technology, today announced a transformative improvement to its capital structure, driven by the planned exchange of Series C Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock by CEO William Alessi’s affiliated family trusts. The transaction should not only align the CEO family with common shareholders but should deliver a material $31 million boost to shareholder equity.

As a result of the transaction:

  • Mezzanine Equity to be reduced by $31,151,393
    Significantly reducing preferred equity overhang and long-term liabilities.
  • Common Stock to be increased by 26,515,152 shares and $2,651
    Reflecting the conversion and aligning economic interests with all shareholders.
  • Additional Paid-in Capital to be increased by $31,148,742
    Boosting the Company’s permanent equity base and financial flexibility.

This reallocation of capital should remove approximately $31 million in preferred equity obligations from the mezzanine section of the balance sheet, which should enhance the Company's long-term solvency metrics, lower perceived risk, and improve its ability to access capital markets going forward.

“This isn’t just a show of faith—it’s a structural upgrade,” said CEO William Alessi. “We’re realigning our capital stack in a way that strengthens Alpha Modus from the inside out. This is a powerful message to current and future investors: we’re positioning ourselves for growth, not debt.”

Implications for Investors and the Company:

  • Improved Capital Structure: By reducing mezzanine equity and boosting common equity, the Company believes it will enhance its attractiveness to institutional investors.
  • Balance Sheet Optimization: The exchange should significantly de-leverage Alpha Modus’ balance sheet, through decreasing shareholder deficit and increasing tangible shareholder equity.
  • Increased Investor Transparency: The reclassification from preferred to common stock should improve visibility and simplify equity calculations for analysts and investors.
  • Signal of Confidence: The move reinforces that insiders see current valuations as opportunistic and are betting on a long-term upward trend.

The financial figures cited above are estimates prior to quarter-end and will be finalized in the Company’s upcoming quarterly filing.

Alpha Modus remains committed to its mission of driving shareholder value through patent enforcement, AI technology adoption, and strategic expansion in the retail innovation sector.
