Reflects Strategic Alignment with Bitcoin-Focused Growth Plans through Proposed Merger with Nakamoto

KindlyMD, Inc. (NASDAQ:NAKA) (NASDAQ:KDLY) ("KindlyMD" or the "Company"), a leading provider of integrated healthcare services, today announced it has changed its ticker from "KDLY" to "NAKA" on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange. The ticker for the Company's tradable warrants has also been changed from "KDLYW" to "NAKAW". The Company's common stock and warrants will begin trading under the new tickers beginning today, Friday, May 23, 2025.

The change reflects the Company's new vision to adopt a Bitcoin treasury strategy through its proposed merger with Nakamoto Holdings Inc. ("Nakamoto"), a Bitcoin-native holding company. The ticker change also follows the recent approval of the merger agreement and related transactions by the Company's majority shareholders and the approval by the Utah Department of Commerce for the Company to do business under the name "Nakamoto".

"KindlyMD's new ticker symbol pays homage to Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of Bitcoin. Like prominent financial institutions of the past, we believe that the name ‘Nakamoto' and its legacy will become renowned," said David Bailey, Founder and CEO of Nakamoto. "We are grateful that KindlyMD shares this vision and is excited to forge this next chapter with us."

Tim Pickett, CEO of KindlyMD, added, "We are excited to unveil the ticker that will define our partnership with Nakamoto. This ticker change allows us to unite our patient-first healthcare mission with Nakamoto's deep expertise in Bitcoin, creating new opportunities for innovation, growth, and long-term value for our shareholders."

As of May 23, 2025, KindlyMD's securities trading, regulatory filings, and market-related information will be reported under the new symbols "NAKA" and "NAKAW". No action is required by existing shareholders with respect to the ticker symbol change.
