Porter Rescission Agreement

On January 9, 2026, the Company entered into a Mutual Rescission and Release Agreement (the “Rescission Agreement”) with James T. Porter, the President of American Rebel Beverages (the “Recipient”).

Under the terms of the Rescission Agreement, the Company and the Recipient mutually agreed to rescind, ab initio, a restricted stock award previously granted on January 1, 2025 (the “Original Award”). The Original Award, which was valued at $42,000.00 on the grant date and represented 23,204 pre-split shares (adjusted to 100 shares following the Company’s 2025 reverse stock splits), was scheduled to vest on December 31, 2025.

The Parties elected to rescind the Original Award to mitigate an unintended and disproportionate tax liability to the Recipient resulting from the significant disparity between the Original Award’s grant-date valuation and the current market value of the underlying shares. As a result of the rescission, the Original Award is deemed null and void, and no shares will be issued thereunder.

Simultaneously, on January 9, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new equity retention grant to the Recipient consisting of 100 shares of restricted common stock (the “2026 Grant”) under the Company’s 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. The 2026 Grant was fully vested upon issuance. The Company believes this re-grant maintains the intended equity incentive for the Recipient while aligning the associated tax basis with the current fair market value of the Company’s common stock.

The foregoing description of the Rescission Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Rescission Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.6 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
