Reed’s Receives NYSE Deficiency Notification Regarding Stockholders’ Equity

NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reed’s, Inc. (NYSE American: REED) (“Reed’s” or the “Company”), owner of the nation’s leading portfolio of handcrafted, natural ginger beverages, announced that on August 12, 2026, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from NYSE American LLC (“NYSE American”) that the Company is below compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of NYSE American’s listing standards set forth in Part 10 of the NYSE American Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) because the Company reported stockholders’ deficit of $(1.5) million and losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2025. The Company is also not currently eligible for any exemption in Section 1003(a) of the Company Guide from the stockholders’ equity requirements.

As previously announced, in connection with its non-compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) and Section 1003(a)(iii) of the Company Guide, the Company must submit a plan (the “Plan”) to the NYSE American advising of actions it has taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by November 29, 2027. On June 26, 2026, the Company submitted the Plan to NYSE American. On August 12, 2026, NYSE American determined to accept the Plan, and the Company will be subject to periodic reviews, including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the Plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by November 29, 2027, or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the Plan, the NYSE American will initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. The Company may appeal a staff delisting determination in accordance with Section 1010 and Part 12 of the Company Guide.

The Notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s shares of common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE American during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance with the other listing requirements of the NYSE American.
