This filing details American Rebel Holdings' proactive measure to regain compliance with Nasdaq's minimum 500,000 Publicly Held Shares requirement, which was previously disclosed as a delisting threat on March 27, 2026. The issuance of 3,218,299 shares, representing a significant portion of the company's outstanding stock, is a direct response to this deficiency.

This is a critical step for the company's continued listing, following a recent reverse stock split and ongoing financial challenges.
