Company Treasury Exceeds $12 Million with Recently Implemented Active Yield Generation Strategy

Provides Nasdaq Listing Status Update

BNB Plus Corp. (NASDAQ:BNBX) ("BNB Plus" or the "Company"), a Nasdaq-listed digital asset treasury company focused on Binance's BNB token, today announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a formal review of strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value and also provided an update on its Nasdaq listing status.

Strategic Review and Treasury Value

The strategic alternatives under consideration include, but are not limited to, a merger, reverse merger, business combination, acquisition, asset sale, joint venture, additional capital raising transactions, or other strategic transactions. The Company is initially focusing its review on market sectors it believes have potential for high growth, including, artificial intelligence infrastructure, digital infrastructure, critical domestic raw materials, defense technologies, and healthcare among others.

As of 1pm ET on April 18, 2026, the Company's treasury had a value of approximately $12.2 million, representing approximately 3.4x its current market capitalization. The Company has also recently implemented an active yield-generation strategy on its BNB token holdings, enabling the Company to potentially grow its BNB token treasury holdings during the strategic review process.

"Our Board is committed to maximizing value for our shareholders," said Clay Shorrock, President and Chief Executive Officer of BNB Plus Corp. "We believe this process will help us assess a range of options available to the Company and determine the most appropriate path forward for the Company and its shareholders."

The Company has retained Lucid Capital Markets as its financial advisor to assist in the strategic review process.

The Company will continue to execute on its strategic and operating initiatives during the review process. The Company does not intend to provide updates on the strategic review process until its Board of Directors has approved a specific transaction or otherwise determines that disclosure is appropriate or required by law. The Company has not set a definitive timeline for this process and there can be no assurance that the review of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction being announced or consummated.

Nasdaq Listing Update

On March 20, 2026, the Company received written notice from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company no longer satisfies the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). Nasdaq further determined that the Company is ineligible for a standard compliance period, as the Company effected a reverse stock split within the prior one-year period. The Company timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel to address the deficiency. The Company's common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq at least through the conclusion of the hearing process.
