~ Proactive Action Taken to Align Share Structure in Connection with Proposed Business Combination with XTEND ~

PALM BEACH, Fla., March 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JFB Construction Holdings (NASDAQ:JFB) ("JFB" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 2-for-1 stock split of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of common stock.

The stock split is expected to become effective on March 20, 2026, for stockholders of record as of close of business on March 19, 2026, at which time every one share of JFB common stock will be automatically split into two shares of common stock. Stockholders of record will receive one additional share of common stock for each share held on the record date.

Trading of the Company's common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market is expected to begin on a split-adjusted basis after market close on March 19, 2026 under the Company's existing ticker symbol "JFB."

The stock split is being implemented in connection with the Company's previously announced $1.5 billion all-stock business combination with XTEND, a software-first defense technology company anchored by its AI XTEND Operating System (XOS). The stock split is intended to enhance trading liquidity and align the Company's capital structure in connection with the pending business combination.

The total market capitalization of the Company and the proportionate ownership interest of each stockholder will remain unchanged as a result of the stock split. Following the stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock will increase from approximately 7,014,090 million shares to approximately 14,028,180 million shares. The par value of the Company's common stock will remain unchanged.

Joseph F. Basile III, Chief Executive Officer of JFB, commented:

"This stock split represents a proactive and strategic step as we prepare to take XTEND AI Robotics public. By increasing the number of shares outstanding and lowering the per-share price, we aim to enhance accessibility for investors while aligning the combined company's share structure to support the investor base we intend to attract as a leading U.S. defense technology company listed on Nasdaq."

Details of the Stock Split

At the effective time of the stock split, every one share of JFB common stock issued and outstanding will be automatically split into two shares of JFB common stock without any action required by stockholders. The number of authorized shares of JFB common stock will be proportionately increased. No fractional shares will be issued. The Company's common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol "JFB" and will be assigned a new CUSIP number, which will be announced prior to the effective date.

Stockholders holding shares in street name through a brokerage account or bank will have their accounts automatically adjusted to reflect the stock split. Registered stockholders should contact the Company's transfer agent, ClearTrust, LLC, at (813) 235-4490 or Inbox@ClearTrustTransfer.com, with any questions.

The stock split is separate from and does not impact the terms of the previously announced business combination between JFB and XTEND. The merger remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the middle of 2026. Upon closing, the combined company will be renamed XTEND AI Robotics and trade on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol "XTND."
