August 26, 2024 at 16:25 PM EDT

Charlotte, North Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - August 26, 2024) - cbdMD, Inc. (NYSE American: YCBD) (NYSE American: YCBD-PA), one of the nation's leading and most highly trusted and recognized CBD companies, and operator of the leading CBD brands cbdMD and Paw CBD, along with its functional mushroom brand ATRx Labs, today announced that it received notice from the NYSE American LLC that it had accepted the Company's plan to regain compliance with the NYSE American continued listing standards and granted a plan period through December 5, 2025. As previously disclosed on June 5, 2024, the Company received a letter from the NYSE American stating that the Company was not in compliance with the continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide. Section 1003(a)(ii) requires a listed company to have stockholders' equity of $4 million or more if the listed company has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years. The Company reported a stockholders' deficit of $3.1 million as of March 31, 2024, and has had losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years ended September 30, 2023.

NYSE American has accepted the Company's plan and granted a plan period through December 5, 2025. During the plan period, the Company will be subject to quarterly review to determine if it is making progress consistent with the plan. If the Company does not regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards by December 5, 2025, or if the Company does not make sufficient progress consistent with its plan, then the NYSE American may initiate delisting proceedings.

The Company's preferred stock and common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American during the plan period pursuant to an extension. The Company's receipt of such notification from the NYSE American does not affect the Company's business, operations or reporting requirements with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

"We appreciate the NYSE American's acceptance of our plan and are encouraged with the progress of our business in the third and fourth fiscal quarters. The acceptance of the plan is the next critical step to addressing our ongoing capital structure challenges and lets us re-engage our Series A preferred shareholders to help create a solution involving the accrued dividend," says T. Ronan Kennedy the Company's CEO.

The Company can provide no assurances that it will be able to make progress with respect to its plan that NYSE American will determine to be satisfactory, that it will regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide on or before the expiration of the plan period, or that developments and events occurring subsequent to the Company's formulation of the plan or its acceptance by the NYSE American will not adversely affect the Company's ability to make sufficient progress and/or regain compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the Company Guide on or before the expiration of the plan period or result in the Company's failure to be in compliance with other NYSE American continued listing standards.
