INFORMATION STATEMENT IN LIEU OF SPECIAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

Dear American Rebel Holdings, Inc. Stockholder:

The purpose of this letter and the enclosed Information Statement is to inform you that stockholders holding shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred”) and shares of Common Stock, representing in excess of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of American Rebel Holdings, Inc.

The required consent of at least a majority of the votes allocated to our voting shares was given for the action listed above.

A copy of the form of amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split is attached hereto as Appendix A.

As described in this Information Statement, the Action has been approved by stockholders representing more than a majority of the voting power of American Rebel outstanding Common Stock. American Rebel is not soliciting your proxy or consent in connection with the matters discussed above. You are urged to read the Information Statement in its entirety for a description of the Action approved by certain stockholders holding more than a majority of the voting power of American Rebel’s outstanding Common Stock.

No security holders have transmitted any proposals to be acted upon by American Rebel.

VOTE REQUIRED AND INFORMATION ON VOTING STOCKHOLDERS

American Rebel is not seeking consents, authorizations or proxies from you.

On April 8, 2026, the following consenting Voting Stockholders owning a total of 13 shares of Common Stock and 123,412 shares of Series A Preferred, whereby each share is entitled to cast one thousand (1,000) votes for each share held of the Series A Preferred on all matters presented to the stockholders of American Rebel for stockholder vote, thereby allowing such Common Stock and Series A Preferred to cast votes totaling 123,412,013 shares of Common Stock, delivered the executed Written Consent authorizing the Action described herein.

ACTION - APPROVAL OF REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

The Board recommended and the Voting Stockholders approved an amendment to American Rebel’s Articles of Incorporation to effectuate a Reverse Stock Split at an exchange ratio of up to 1-for-250 (or more plainly stated, up to every twenty-five existing shares would be exchanged for one new share) as the Board may determine.

The Reverse Stock Split will have no effect on the par value of American Rebel’s Common Stock. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. The proposed form of amendment to American Rebel’s Articles of Incorporation to implement the Reverse Stock Split is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.

American Rebel’s Common Stock is currently quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “AREB”.

The Board may elect not to implement the approved Reverse Stock Split at its sole discretion. The Board has the maximum flexibility to react to current market conditions and to therefore achieve the purposes of the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, and to act in the best interests of American Rebel and its stockholders.

American Rebel’s Board intends to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split in order to maintain its listing on Nasdaq as described below or at any time within the following twelve months (the “Effective Time”).

Purpose of the Reverse Stock Split

The primary purpose of implementing the reverse stock split would be to raise the per share trading price of our common stock. Certain broker-dealers in the Company’s securities classify any security trading below $5.00 per share to be a “penny stock” and the Company has committed to do everything within its power to maintain a stock price above $5.00 and avoid being considered a “penny stock.”

An increase in the per share trading value of our common stock would be beneficial because it would:

	●	improve the perception of our common stock as an investment security;
	●	reset our stock price to more normalized trading levels in the face of potentially extended market dislocations;
	●	assist with future potential capital raises;
	●	avoid being considered or designated as a “penny stock”;
	●	appeal to a broader range of investors to generate greater investor interest in us; and
	●	reduce stockholder transaction costs because investors would pay lower commission to trade a fixed dollar amount of our stock if our stock price were higher than they would if our stock price were lower.

You should consider that, although our Board believes that a reverse stock split will in fact increase the trading price of our common stock, in many cases, because of variables outside of our control (such as market volatility, investor response to the news of a proposed reverse stock split and the general economic environment), the market price of our Common Stock may in fact decline in value after effecting the Reverse Stock Split. You should also keep in mind that the implementation of a reverse stock split does not have an effect on the actual or intrinsic value of our business or a stockholder’s proportional ownership in our company. However, should the overall value of our Common Stock decline after the proposed Reverse Stock Split, then the actual or intrinsic value of the shares of our Common Stock held by you will also proportionately decrease as a result of the overall decline in value.

Our common stock is currently listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market, which has as one of its continued listing requirements a minimum bid price of at least $1.00 per share. Recently our common stock has traded below $1.00 per share. As a result thereof, on February 4, 2026, the Company received a written notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Nasdaq staff (the “Staff”) determined that the Company’s common stock failed to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days, in violation of Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Rule”). As a result of non-compliance with the Rule, the Staff determined to delist the Company’s securities (common stock (“AREB”) and publicly traded warrants (“AREBW”)) from The Nasdaq Capital Market at the opening of business on April 8, 2026, unless the Company was to request an appeal of the determination by February 11, 2026. On February 11, 2026, the board of directors decided to request a hearing and appeal the Staff’s delisting determination. The filing of the hearing request resulted in a stay of any suspension or delisting action pending the conclusion of the hearing process. The Hearing was held on March 24, 2026 and the Company is awaiting the results from the Panel.

If the Company were to prevail with its appeal at the Nasdaq hearing, the reverse split may help to maintain the listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Reducing the number of outstanding shares of our common stock should, absent other factors, increase the per share market price of our common stock, although we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to meet or maintain a bid price over the minimum bid price requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market or any other exchange.

Delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market may adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, may significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and may negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock. Delisting also could have other negative results, including the potential loss of employee confidence, the loss of institutional investors or interest in business development opportunities.

If we are delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market and we are not able to list our common stock on another exchange, our common stock could be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the “pink sheets.” As a result, we could face significant adverse consequences including, among others:

	●	a limited availability of market quotations for our securities;
	●	a determination that our common stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in our common stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our securities;
	●	a limited amount of news and little or no analyst coverage of our company;
	●	we would no longer qualify for exemptions from state securities registration requirements, which may require us to comply with applicable state securities laws; and
	●	a decreased ability to issue additional securities (including pursuant to short-form registration statements on Form S-3) or obtain additional financing in the future.

Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

Reduction of Shares Held by Individual Stockholders. After the Effective Date each Common Stockholder will own fewer shares of American Rebel’s Common Stock. However, the Reverse Stock Split will affect all of the Common Stockholders uniformly and will not affect any Common Stockholder’s percentage ownership interests in American Rebel, except to the extent that the Reverse Stock Split results in any of its stockholders owning a fractional share as described below. Any fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Further, at the option of the Board, on the Effective Date the Board may choose to implement a provision that provides any stockholder as of the Effective Date who owns at least 100 shares will not own less than 100 shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Change in Number and Exercise Price of Employee and Equity Awards. The Reverse Stock Split will reduce the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under American Rebel’s equity compensation arrangements in proportion to the split ratio. Under the terms of its outstanding equity and option awards, the Reverse Stock Split will cause a reduction in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of such awards in proportion to the split ratio of the Reverse Stock Split which is ultimately approved by the Board and will cause a proportionate increase in the exercise price of such awards to the extent they are stock options. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise or vesting of stock option awards will be rounded to the nearest whole share and no cash payment will be made in respect of such rounding. Warrant and other convertible security holders, if any, will also see a similar reduction of the number of shares such instruments are convertible into stock option holders described above.

Authorized Shares of Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, would not change the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock as designated by American Rebel’s Articles of Incorporation. Therefore, because the number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock would decrease, the number of shares remaining available for issuance under American Rebel’s authorized shares of Common Stock would increase.

The additional shares of Common Stock that would become available for issuance if the Reverse Stock Split is implemented could also be used by American Rebel’s management to oppose a hostile takeover attempt or delay or prevent changes of control or changes in or removal of management, including transactions that are favored by a majority of the stockholders or in which the stockholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares over then-current market prices or benefit in some other manner. Although the proposed Reverse Stock Split has been prompted by business and financial considerations, stockholders nevertheless should be aware that this action could facilitate future efforts by American Rebel’s management to deter or prevent a change in control.

American Rebel has no current specific plans for the issuance of the Common Stock, which would become newly available as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Any future issuance will have the effect of diluting the percentage of stock ownership and voting rights of the present holders of American Rebel’s Common Stock.

Other Effects on Outstanding Shares. If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented, the rights and preferences of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock would remain the same after the Reverse Stock Split. Each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split would be fully paid and non-assessable.

No Effect on Series A Preferred Stock Voting and Conversion. The voting and conversion rights attributed to the Series A Preferred shall remain unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, (each share of Series A Preferred shall continue to have 1,000:1 voting rights and 500:1 conversion rights).

No Effect on Series C and Series D Preferred Stock Conversion. The conversion rights attributed to the Series C and D Preferred shall remain unaffected by the Reverse Stock Split, if implemented, (each share of Series C and D Preferred shall continue to have 5:1 conversion rights).

Regulatory Effects. American Rebel’s Common Stock is currently registered under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and is subject to the periodic reporting and other requirements of the Exchange Act. The Reverse Stock Split will not affect the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or American Rebel’s obligation to publicly file financial and other information with the SEC. If the Reverse Stock Split is implemented in order to maintain its Nasdaq listing, American Rebel’s Common Stock will continue to trade on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

In addition to the above, the Reverse Stock Split will have the following effects upon American Rebel’s Common Stock:

	●	The number of shares owned by each holder of Common Stock will be reduced, however, at the option of the Board, on the Effective Date the Board may choose to implement a provision that provides that no current owner of 100 or more shares will be reduced to less than 100 shares;

	●	The per share loss and net book value of American Rebel’s Common Stock will be increased because there will be a lesser number of shares of its Common Stock outstanding;

	●	The par value of the Common Stock will remain $0.001 per share;

	●	The stated capital on American Rebel’s balance sheet attributable to the Common Stock will be decreased and the additional paid-in capital account will be credited with the amount by which the stated capital is decreased; and

	●	All outstanding options, warrants, and convertible securities entitling the holders thereof to purchase shares of Common Stock, if any, will enable such holders to purchase, upon exercise thereof, fewer of the number of shares of Common Stock which such holders would have been able to purchase upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split, at the same total price (but a higher per share price) required to be paid upon exercise thereof immediately preceding the Reverse Stock Split.

Shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will be fully paid and non-assessable. The amendment will not change any of the other the terms of American Rebel’s Common Stock or Preferred Stock. The shares of Common Stock after the Reverse Stock Split will have the same voting rights and rights to dividends and distributions and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of Common Stock prior to the Reverse Stock Split.

Once American Rebel implements the Reverse Stock Split, the share certificates representing the shares will continue to be valid. In the future, new share certificates will be issued reflecting the Reverse Stock Split, but this in no way will affect the validity of your current share certificates. The Reverse Stock Split will occur without any further action on the part of American Rebel’s stockholders. After the Effective Date each share certificate representing the shares prior to the Reverse Stock Split will be deemed to represent a smaller number of shares than the number presently shown on the certificate.

The actual number of outstanding shares of American Rebel’s Common Stock after giving effect to the Reverse Stock Split, if and when effected will depend on the number of issued and outstanding shares at the time the Reverse Stock Split is effected and the Reverse Stock Split ratio that is ultimately determined by the Board. The table below shows the Reverse Stock Split ratio and the approximate number of authorized shares of Common Stock to be outstanding for various reverse split ratios:

Reverse Stock Split Ratio	Outstanding Shares Before Reverse Stock Split⁽¹⁾	Outstanding Shares After Reverse Stock Split⁽²⁾
1-for-2	3,451,665	1,725,833
1-for-3	3,451,665	1,150,555
1-for-4	3,451,665	862,916
1-for-5	3,451,665	690,333
1-for-6	3,451,665	575,277
1-for-10	3,451,665	345,166
1-for-25	3,451,665	138,066
1-for-50	3,451,665	69,033
1-for-100	3,451,665	34,516
1-for-250	3,451,665	13,807

	⁽¹⁾	Does not account for the additional issuance of shares of Common Stock after the date hereof as the result of future financings, conversion of outstanding derivative securities or other issuances, which may be substantial.

	⁽²⁾	This table includes the initial amount of round-up shares issued by DTC to beneficial shareholders of record as of March 20, 2026 who qualified for a round-lot shareholder issuance or a fractional share round-up in connection with the Company’s March 23, 2026 1-for-100 reverse stock split. On April 6, 2026, the Company issued 3,218,299 shares for the beneficial holder round-up based on the final amount provided by DTC to the Company’s transfer agent. As of April 6, 2026 the Company had 3,451,665 total shares outstanding. The table does not account for any additional fractional share rounding or any future determination by the Board regarding minimum round-lot protection

Certificates representing the shares after the Reverse Stock Split will be issued in due course as share certificates representing shares prior to the Reverse Stock Split are tendered for exchange or transfer to American Rebel’s transfer agent. American Rebel request that stockholders do not send in any of their stock certificates at this time.

As applicable, new share certificates evidencing new shares following the Reverse Stock Split that are issued in exchange for share certificates issued prior to the Reverse Stock Split representing old shares that are restricted shares will contain the same restrictive legend as on the old certificates. Also, for purposes of determining the term of the restrictive period applicable to the new shares after the Reverse Stock Split, the time period during which a stockholder has held their existing pre-Reverse Stock Split old shares will be included in the total holding period.

Procedure for Implementing the Reverse Stock Split

The Reverse Stock Split will become effective upon the filing of the amendment to the Articles of Incorporation with the Nevada Secretary of State. The timing of the filing of the amendment that will effectuate the Reverse Stock Split will be determined by the Board, at any time within 12 months, based on its evaluation as to when such action will be the most advantageous to American Rebel and its stockholders. In addition, the Board reserves the right, notwithstanding stockholder approval and without further action by the stockholders, to elect not to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split if, at any time prior to filing the amendment, the Board, in its sole discretion, determines that it is no longer in American Rebel’s best interest and the best interests of its stockholders to proceed with the Reverse Stock Split. If the amendment effectuating the Reverse Stock Split has not been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada by the close of twelve months from the Record Date, the Board will abandon the Reverse Stock Split.

After the filing of the amendment, American Rebel’s Common Stock will have a new CUSIP number, which is a number used to identify its equity securities, and stock certificates with the older CUSIP number will need to be exchanged for stock certificates with the new CUSIP number by following the procedures described below.

As soon as practicable after the Reverse Stock Split American Rebel’s transfer agent will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates for record holders (i.e., stockholders who hold their shares directly in their own name and not through a broker). Record holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares will be asked to surrender to the transfer agent certificates representing pre-Reverse Stock Split shares in exchange for a book entry with the transfer agent or certificates representing post-Reverse Stock Split shares in accordance with the procedures to be set forth in a letter of transmittal to be sent by American Rebel. No new certificates will be issued to a stockholder until such stockholder has surrendered such stockholder’s outstanding certificate(s) together with the properly completed and executed letter of transmittal to the exchange agent.

For street name holders of pre-Reverse Stock Split shares (i.e., stockholders who hold their shares through a broker), your broker will make the appropriate adjustment to the number of shares held in your account following the Effective Date.

STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD NOT DESTROY ANY STOCK CERTIFICATE(S) AND SHOULD NOT SUBMIT ANY CERTIFICATE(S) UNTIL REQUESTED TO DO SO.

No service charges, brokerage commissions or transfer taxes will be payable by any stockholder, except that if any new stock certificates are to be issued in a name other than that in which the surrendered certificate(s) are registered it will be a condition of such issuance that (1) the person requesting such issuance pays all applicable transfer taxes resulting from the transfer (or prior to transfer of such certificate, if any) or establishes to American Rebel’s satisfaction that such taxes have been paid or are not payable, (2) the transfer complies with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and (3) the surrendered certificate is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares, upon surrender to the exchange agent of such certificates representing such fractional shares, will receive a number of shares rounded up to the nearest whole share.

Accounting Matters

The par value per share of American Rebel’s Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.001 per share after the Reverse Stock Split. As a result, on the Effective Date, the stated capital on American Rebel’s consolidated balance sheet attributable to Common Stock will be reduced and the additional paid-in-capital account will be increased by the amount by which the stated capital is reduced. Per share net income or loss will be increased because there will be fewer shares of Common Stock outstanding. American Rebel does not anticipate that any other accounting consequences, including changes to the amount of stock-based compensation expense to be recognized in any period, will arise as a result of the Reverse Stock Split.

Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences

Each stockholder is advised to consult their own tax advisor as the following discussion may be limited, modified or not apply based on your own particular situation.

The following is a summary of important tax considerations of the Reverse Stock Split. It addresses only stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares and post-Reverse Stock Split shares as capital assets. It does not purport to be complete and does not address stockholders subject to special rules, such as financial institutions, tax-exempt organizations, insurance companies, dealers in securities, mutual funds, foreign stockholders, stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as part of a straddle, hedge, or conversion transaction, stockholders who hold the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares as qualified small business stock within the meaning of Section 1202 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), stockholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Code, and stockholders who acquired their pre-Reverse Stock Split shares pursuant to the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation. This summary is based upon current law, which may change, possibly even retroactively. It does not address tax considerations under state, local, foreign, and other laws. Furthermore, American Rebel has not obtained a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of legal or tax counsel with respect to the consequences of the Reverse Stock Split.

The Reverse Stock Split is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code. Assuming the Reverse Stock Split qualifies as reorganization, a stockholder generally will not recognize gain or loss on the Reverse Stock Split. The aggregate tax basis of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will be equal to the aggregate tax basis of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged (excluding any portion of the holder’s basis allocated to fractional shares), and the holding period of the post-Reverse Stock Split shares received will include the holding period of the pre-Reverse Stock Split shares exchanged.

PLEASE CONSULT YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND FOREIGN INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT IN YOUR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE AND THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION.

To ensure compliance with Treasury Department Circular 230, each holder of Common Stock is hereby notified that: (a) any discussion of U.S. federal tax issues in this information statement is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by such holder for the purpose of avoiding penalties that may be imposed on such holder under the Code; (b) any such discussion has been included by American Rebel in furtherance of the Reverse Stock Split on the terms described herein and (c) each such holder should seek advice based on its particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor.

No Appraisal Rights

Under NRS, stockholders are not entitled to appraisal rights with respect to the proposed amendment to the Articles of Incorporation to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split.

Anti-Takeover Effects of the Reverse Stock Split

The overall effect of the Reverse Stock Split may be to render more difficult the accomplishment of mergers or the assumption of control by a principal stockholder and thus make the removal of management more difficult.

The effective increase in American Rebel’s authorized and unissued shares as a result of the Reverse Stock Split could potentially be used by the Board to thwart a takeover attempt. The over-all effects of this might be to discourage, or make it more difficult to engage in, a merger, tender offer or proxy contest, or the acquisition or assumption of control by a holder of a large block of American Rebel’s securities and the removal of incumbent management. The Reverse Stock Split could make the accomplishment of a merger or similar transaction more difficult, even if it is beneficial to stockholders. The Board might use the additional shares to resist or frustrate a third-party transaction, favored by a majority of the independent stockholders that would provide an above-market premium, by issuing additional shares to frustrate the takeover effort.

This Reverse Stock Split is not the result of management’s knowledge of an effort to accumulate American Rebel’s securities or to obtain control of American Rebel by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation or otherwise.

Additionally, the Reverse Stock Split is not being conducted in an effort to take American Rebel private.

APPENDIX A – Amendment to Articles for Reverse Stock Split

Article VI – Capital Stock shall be amended to add the following section:

Section 8. Eighth Reverse Stock Split. Effective upon the filing of this Certificate of Amendment of Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada (the “Eighth Effective Time”), the shares of the Corporation’s Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Eighth Effective Time (the “Eighth Old Common Stock”), will be automatically reclassified as and combined into shares of Common Stock (the “Eighth New Common Stock”) such that each _____ shares of Eighth Old Common Stock shall be reclassified as and combined into one share of Eighth New Common Stock. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, no fractional shares of Eighth New Common Stock shall be issued to the holders of record of Eighth Old Common Stock in connection with the foregoing reclassification of shares of Eighth Old Common Stock. Stockholders who, immediately prior to the Eighth Effective Time, own a number of shares of Eighth Old Common Stock, which is not evenly divisible by 100 shall, with respect to such fractional interest, be entitled to receive one (1) whole share of Common Stock in lieu of a fraction of a share of Eighth New Common Stock. Each stock certificate that, immediately prior to the Eighth Effective Time represented shares of Eighth Old Common Stock shall, from and after the Eighth Effective Time, automatically and without the necessity of presenting the same for exchange, represent that number of whole shares of Eighth New Common Stock into which the shares of Eighth Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified; provided, however, that each holder of record of a certificate that represented shares of Eighth Old Common Stock shall receive, upon surrender of such certificate, a new certificate representing the number of whole shares of Eighth New Common Stock into which the shares of Eighth Old Common Stock represented by such certificate shall have been reclassified as set forth above. [OPTIONAL PROVISION TO BE DETERMINED BY BOARD IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION - In conjunction with the Eighth Reverse Stock Split, no stockholder holding at least a round lot (100 shares) prior to the Eighth Reverse Stock Split shall have less than one round lot (100 shares) after the Eighth Reverse Stock Split.]
