OID
Note
On
April 10, 2026, the Company entered into a two-year promissory note with an accredited investor (the “Lender”) in the gross
principal amount of $270,000 (the “Note”). An original issue discount of $40,500 and guaranteed interest of $40,500 was applied
on the issuance date, resulting in net loan proceeds to the Company of $189,000. The Notes are required to be paid in one lump sum payment
of $270,000 on or before April 6, 2028. In addition, on the 150th day after the issuance date of the Note, the Company shall pay the
Lender a monitoring fee of $10,000.00.
Minor
Default shall mean a specific type of default under the Note that occurs solely as a result of the Company’s failure to pay the
monitoring fee when due, and such failure remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the due date. A Minor Default
shall trigger acceleration of the Note, but the total amount due and payable shall be equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the
outstanding Principal amount of the Note, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, if any, as of the date of acceleration.
Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, the Note shall become immediately due and payable and the Company
will be obligated to pay to the Lender, in full satisfaction of its obligations, an amount equal to 130% times the sum of (w) the then
outstanding principal amount of the Note plus (x) accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Note to the date
of payment plus (y) any amounts owed to the Lender pursuant to the conversion rights referenced below.
At
any time after one hundred fifty days of the issuance date of the Note, upon five (5) business days’ written notice to Lender,
the Company has the option of prepaying the outstanding principal amount of the Note, in whole or in part, by paying to the Lender a
sum of money equal to one hundred thirty-five percent (135%) of the principal amount to be redeemed, together with any and all other
sums due, accrued or payable to the Lender arising under the Note.
At
any time after one hundred eighty days of the issuance date of the Note, the Company and the Lender may mutually agree to allow the Lender
to convert the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Note into restricted shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Company at $7.50 per share (each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock in convertible into five shares of common stock). The
Lender agreed to limit the amount of stock received to less than 4.99% of the total outstanding common stock into which the Series D
Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into. There are no warrants or other derivatives attached to the Note. The Company granted
the Lender piggy-back registration rights on the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock. The Company agreed to reserve a number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, and common stock issuable upon conversion
thereof, equal to three times the number of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (36,000 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred
Stock in total), and common stock issuable upon conversion thereof (180,000 shares of common stock in total), which may be issuable upon
conversion of the Note at all times.
The
foregoing description of the Note and of all of the parties’ rights and obligations under the Note is qualified in their entirety
by reference to the OID Note, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and of which is incorporated
herein by reference.

with Section 5(c) below; provided that the Notice of Conversion is submitted by facsimile or e-mail (or by other means resulting in,

Date”); however, if the Notice of Conversion is sent after 6:00pm, New York, New York time the Conversion Date shall be the
next business day. The term “Conversion Amount” means, with respect to any conversion of this Note, the sum of (1)
the principal amount of this Note to be converted in such conversion plus (2) at the Holder’s option, accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, on such principal amount at the interest rates provided in this Note to the Conversion Date, plus (3) at the Holder’s option,
any amounts owed to the Holder pursuant to Section 5(c) hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition
to the limitations set forth herein, if the Borrower has not obtained Stockholder Approval, the Borrower shall not issue a number of
shares of Common Stock under this Agreement, which when aggregated with all other securities that are required to be aggregated for purposes
of Rule 5635(d), would exceed 19.99% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of definitive agreement with respect to
the first of such aggregated transactions (the “Conversion Limitation”). For purposes of this section, “Stockholder
Approval” means such approval as may be required by the applicable rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (or
any successor entity) from the stockholders of the Borrower with respect to the issuance of the shares under this Agreement that, when
taken together with any other securities that are required to be aggregated with the issuance of the shares issued under this Agreement
for purposes of Rule 5635(d) of the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Rule 5635(d)”), would exceed 19.99% of the issued and
outstanding common stock as of the date of definitive agreement with respect to the first of such aggregated transactions. “Principal
Market” means the Exchanges, the quotation platforms maintained by the OTC Markets Group or an equivalent replacement exchange,
and all rules and regulations relating to such exchange. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the
Conversion Limitation shall no longer apply to limit the issuance of shares in conversion of this Note.
(a)
Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall mean $7.50 per share.
2
(b)
Authorized Shares. The Borrower covenants that during the period that the Note is outstanding, the Borrower will reserve from
its authorized and unissued Preferred and Common Stock a sufficient number of shares, free from preemptive rights, to provide for the
issuance of Preferred Stock upon the full conversion of this Note, whether by mutual agreement between the Holder and the Borrower or
upon an Event of Default, and the subsequent conversion of such Preferred Stock to Common Stock. The Borrower is required at all times
to have authorized and reserved no less than three times the number of shares that is actually issuable upon full conversion of the Note
(based on the Conversion Price of the Note, 36,000 shares of Preferred Stock and 180,000 shares of Common Stock such shares
are convertible into) (the “Reserved Amount”). The Reserved Amount shall be increased (or decreased), at the sole
option of the Borrower, from time to time (and in the case of each payment received by the Holder hereunder) in accordance with the Borrower’s
obligations hereunder. The Borrower represents that upon issuance, such shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
In addition, if the Borrower shall issue any securities or make any change to its capital structure which would change the number of
shares of Preferred Stock into which this Note shall be convertible at the Conversion Price, the Borrower shall at the same time make
proper provision so that thereafter there shall be a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized and reserved, free from
preemptive rights, for conversion of the outstanding Note. The Borrower (i) acknowledges that it has irrevocably instructed its transfer
agent to issue certificates for the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, and (ii) agrees that its issuance of
this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers and agents who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to
execute and issue the necessary certificates for shares of Preferred Stock, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Note.
(c)
Method of Conversion.
(i)
Mechanics of Conversion. As set forth in Section 6 hereof, at any time following the 180th day after Issuance
Date or within the redemption notice period set forth in Section 4 hereof, upon the mutual agreement of the Holder and the Borrower,
the balance due pursuant to this Note may be converted by the Holder in whole or in part by (A) submitting to the Borrower a Notice of
Conversion (by facsimile, e-mail or other reasonable means of communication dispatched on the Conversion Date prior to 6:00 p.m., New
York, New York time) and (B) subject to Section 6(c)(ii), surrendering this Note at the principal office of the Borrower (upon payment
in full of any amounts owed hereunder).
3
(ii)
Surrender of Note Upon Conversion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion of this Note
in accordance with the terms hereof, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless the entire
unpaid principal amount of this Note is so converted. The Holder and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the principal amount
so converted and the dates of such conversions or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Holder and the Borrower,
so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon each such conversion.
(iii)
Delivery of Preferred Stock Upon Conversion. Upon receipt by the Borrower from the Holder of a facsimile transmission or
e-mail (or other reasonable means of communication) of a Notice of Conversion meeting the requirements for conversion as provided in
this Section 5(c), the Borrower shall issue and deliver or cause to be issued and delivered to or upon the order of the Holder certificates
for the Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion within three (3) business days after such receipt subject to the terms hereof and
applicable rules of the Principal Market (as defined hereinbelow) (the “Deadline”) (and, solely in the case of conversion
of the entire unpaid principal amount hereof, surrender of this Note) in accordance with the terms hereof. Upon receipt by the Borrower
of a Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall be deemed to be the holder of record of the Preferred Stock issuable upon such conversion,
the outstanding principal amount and the amount of accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall be reduced to reflect such conversion,
and, unless the Borrower defaults on its obligations hereunder, all rights with respect to the portion of this Note being so converted
shall forthwith terminate except the right to receive the Preferred Stock or other securities, cash or other assets, as herein provided,
on such conversion. If the Holder shall have given a Notice of Conversion as provided herein, the Borrower’s obligation to issue
and deliver the certificates for Preferred Stock shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the absence of any action by the
Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision thereof, the recovery of any judgment against any person
or any action to enforce the same, any failure or delay in the enforcement of any other obligation of the Borrower to the holder of record,
or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder of any obligation to
the Borrower, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Borrower to the Holder in
connection with such conversion.
4
(iv)
Delivery of Common Stock by Electronic Transfer. In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Preferred
Stock issuable upon conversion, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, provided the Borrower is participating
in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (“FAST”) program, upon
request of the Holder and its compliance with the provisions set forth herein, the Borrower shall use its best efforts to cause its transfer
agent to electronically transmit the Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion
of Preferred Stock, to the Holder by crediting the account of Holder’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit and Withdrawal
at Custodian (“DWAC”) system.
(v)
Failure to Deliver Preferred Stock Prior to Deadline. Without in any way limiting the Holder’s right to pursue other
remedies, including actual damages and/or equitable relief, the parties agree that if delivery of the Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion
of this Note, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, is not delivered by the Deadline due to willful
and purposeful action and/or inaction of the Borrower, the Borrower shall pay to the Holder $200 per day in cash, for each day beyond
the Deadline that the Borrower fails to deliver such Preferred Stock (the “Fail to Deliver Fee”); provided; however
that the Fail to Deliver Fee shall not be due if the failure is a result of a third party (i.e., transfer agent; and not the result of
any failure to pay such transfer agent) despite the best efforts of the Borrower to effect delivery of such Preferred Stock. Such cash
amount shall be paid to Holder by the fifteenth day of the month following the month in which it has accrued or, at the option of the
Holder (by written notice to the Borrower by the first day of the month following the month in which it has accrued), shall be added
to the principal amount of this Note, in which event interest shall accrue thereon in accordance with the terms of this Note and such
additional principal amount shall be convertible into Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of this Note. The Borrower agrees
that the right to convert is a valuable right to the Holder. The damages resulting from a failure, attempt to frustrate, interference
with such conversion right are difficult if not impossible to qualify. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages
provision contained in this Section 5(c)(v) are justified.
(vi)
Conversion Terms Upon Minor Default, Event of Default or Mutual Settlement. At any time following the one hundred eighty
(180) day period after the Issuance Date, and upon the occurrence of (i) an uncured Minor Default, (ii) an Event of Default, or (iii)
a mutually agreed settlement between the Borrower and the Holder, the Holder may elect to convert outstanding amounts due under this
Note directly into shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock, in lieu of Preferred Stock. Such conversion shall be governed by the
following terms:
a.
Minimum
Conversion Amount. Each conversion shall be in increments of no less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in principal;
5
b.
Beneficial
Ownership Cap: The aggregate amount converted shall not exceed the Beneficial Ownership Limitation of 4.99% of the Borrower’s
outstanding Common Stock;
c.
Conversion
Price: Conversion price to be set at seventy-five percent (75%) of the Market Price of the Borrower’s Common Stock, representing
a twenty-five percent (25%) discount.
d.
Market
Price Definition: “Market Price” shall mean the average of the three (3) lowest daily VWAP (Volume Weighted Average
Price) prices for the Borrower’s Common Stock during the five (5) trading days ending on the latest complete trading day prior
to the Conversion Date.
e.
Trading
Price Definition: “Trading Price” shall mean the closing bid price of the Borrower’s Common Stock on its principal
trading market (e.g., Nasdaq, NYSE, or OTC Markets), as reported by a reliable reporting service such as Bloomberg. If such data is
unavailable, the Trading Price shall be determined by the average of closing bid prices from independent market makers or, if necessary,
the fair market value mutually agreed upon by the Borrower and the Holder.
f.
Conversion
Mechanics: Upon delivery of a Notice of Conversion by the Holder, in the form of Exhibit C hereto, the Holder shall be deemed the
record owner of the applicable Common Stock, and the Borrower shall issue such shares within three (3) business days, subject to applicable
rules of the Principal Market.
This
section shall not limit Holder’s rights to pursue other remedies under this Note upon a Minor Default or in the Event of Default.
6
(d)
Concerning the Shares. The shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, or the shares of Common Stock issuable
upon conversion of Preferred Stock, may not be sold or transferred unless: (i) such shares are sold pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Act or (ii) the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have been furnished with an opinion of counsel (which opinion
shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the shares to
be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration (such as Rule 144 or a successor rule)
(“Rule 144”); or (iii) such shares are transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined in Rule 144) of the Borrower
who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the shares only in accordance with this Section 5(d) and who is an “accredited investor”
as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.
Any
restrictive legend on certificates representing shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, or the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue to the Holder a new certificate therefore
free of any transfer legend if the Borrower or its transfer agent shall have received an opinion of counsel from Holder’s counsel,
in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that (i) a public sale or transfer
of such Preferred Stock, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, may be made without registration
under the Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Borrower so that the sale or transfer is effected; or (ii) in the case of the Preferred
Stock issuable upon conversion of this Note, or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock, such security
is registered for sale by the Holder under an effective registration statement filed under the Act; or otherwise may be sold pursuant
to an exemption from registration.
(e)
Effect of Certain Events.
(i)
Effect of Merger, Consolidation, Etc. At the option of the Holder, the sale, conveyance or disposition of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Borrower, the effectuation by the Borrower of a transaction or series of related transactions in which more
than 50% of the voting power of the Borrower is disposed of, or the consolidation, merger or other business combination of the Borrower
with or into any other Person (as defined below) or Persons when the Borrower is not the survivor shall be deemed to be an Event of Default
(as defined in Section 6) pursuant to which the Borrower shall be required to pay to the Holder upon the consummation of and as a condition
to such transaction an amount equal to the Default Amount (as defined in Section 6). “Person” shall mean any individual,
corporation, limited liability company, partnership, association, trust or other entity or organization.
7
(ii)
Adjustment Due to Merger, Consolidation, Etc. If, at any time when this Note is issued and outstanding and prior to conversion
of all of the Note, there shall be any merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, or other similar
event, as a result of which shares of Preferred or Common Stock of the Borrower shall be changed into the same or a different number
of shares of another class or classes of stock or securities of the Borrower or another entity, or in case of any sale or conveyance
of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower other than in connection with a plan of complete liquidation of the Borrower,
then the Holder of this Note shall thereafter have the right to receive upon conversion of this Note, upon the basis and upon the terms
and conditions specified herein and in lieu of the shares of Preferred or Common Stock immediately theretofore issuable upon conversion,
such stock, securities or assets which the Holder would have been entitled to receive in such transaction had this Note been converted
in full immediately prior to such transaction (without regard to any limitations on conversion set forth herein), and in any such case
appropriate provisions shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder of this Note to the end that the provisions
hereof shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be practicable in relation to any securities or assets thereafter deliverable
upon the conversion hereof. The Borrower shall not affect any transaction described in this Section 5(e)(ii) unless (a) it first gives
ten (10) days prior written notice of the record date of the special meeting of stockholders to approve, or if there is no such record
date, the consummation of, such merger, consolidation, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization or other similar event or
sale of assets (during which time the Holder shall be entitled to convert this Note) and (b) the resulting successor or acquiring entity
(if not the Borrower) assumes by written instrument the obligations of this Note. The above provisions shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share exchanges.
(iii)
Adjustment Due to Distribution. If the Borrower shall declare or make any distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire
its assets) to holders of Preferred or Common Stock as a dividend, stock repurchase, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including
any dividend or distribution to the Borrower’s stockholders in cash or shares (or rights to acquire shares) of capital stock of
a subsidiary (i.e., a spin-off)) (a “Distribution”), then the Holder of this Note shall be entitled, upon any conversion
of this Note after the date of record for determining stockholders entitled to such Distribution, to receive the amount of such assets
which would have been payable to the Holder with respect to the shares of Preferred or Common Stock issuable upon such conversion had
such Holder been the holder of such shares of Preferred or Common Stock on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled
to such Distribution.
7.
Minor Default shall mean a specific type of default under this Note that occurs solely as a result of the Borrower’s failure
to pay the Monitoring Fee when due, and such failure remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) calendar days following the Monitoring
Fee due date. A Minor Default shall trigger acceleration of the Note, but the total amount due and payable shall be equal to one hundred
five percent (105%) of the outstanding Principal amount of the Note, plus any accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, if any, as of the
date of acceleration (the “Minor Default Payment”). For the avoidance of doubt, a Minor Default shall not constitute
a full Event of Default under Section 8 hereof and shall not trigger the Default Payment defined in Section 8, unless additional uncured
Event of Defaults occur beyond the scope of a default as a result of non-payment of the Monitoring Fee. The Minor Default Payment shall
be first applied to accrued and unpaid Interest due on the Note and then to the outstanding Principal balance of the Note.
8
8.
Events of Default. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default beyond any applicable grace period, not considered
a Minor Default, the Holder may make all sums of Principal, Interest and other fees then remaining unpaid hereon and all other amounts
payable hereunder immediately due and payable. In the event of such an acceleration, the amount due and owing to the Holder shall be
130% of the outstanding Principal amount of the Note (plus accrued and unpaid Interest and fees, if any) (the “Default Payment”),.
The Default Payment shall be first applied to accrued and unpaid Interest due on the Note and then to the outstanding Principal balance
of the Note.
The
occurrence of any of the following events is an “Event of Default”:
i.
Failure
to Pay Principal, Interest or other Fees. The Borrower fails to pay when due any installment of Principal or Interest hereon
in accordance herewith, and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days following the date upon which any such payment
was due.
ii.
Receiver
or Trustee. The Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or apply for or consent to the appointment of
a receiver or trustee for it or for a substantial part of its property or business; or such a receiver or trustee shall otherwise
be appointed.
iii.
Judgments.
Any money judgment, writ or similar final process shall be entered or filed against the Borrower or its property or other assets
for more than $2,000,000, and shall remain unvacated, unbonded or unstayed for a period of thirty (30) days.
iv.
Bankruptcy.
Bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or liquidation proceedings or other proceedings or relief under any bankruptcy law or any
law for the relief of debtors shall be instituted by or against the Borrower.
9.
Use of Proceeds. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that its intended use of the net proceeds received from the Holder pursuant
to this Note is to support its ongoing operations including but not limited to working capital, operational expansion, Regulation CF
launch, Regulation A preparation and launch, and strategic initiatives aligned with the Borrower’s business objectives.
9
10.
Original Issue Discount and Guaranteed Interest. The Holder fully funds this Note upon transfer of $189,000.00 to Borrower at
closing. The difference between the amount transferred by the Holder to the Borrower and the Principal Amount of this Note is the Original
Issue Discount of $40,500.00 and guaranteed interest of $40,500.00.
11.
No Short Selling. The Holder and any of its affiliates will not engage in any short sales with respect to the Common Stock of
the Borrower during the term of this Note.
12.
Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder hereof in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing hereunder are
cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
13.
Notices. Any notice herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (a) upon
personal delivery to the party notified, (b) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during normal business hours of the recipient,
if not, then on the next business day, (c) five days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
postage prepaid, or (d) one day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier, specifying next day delivery, with written
verification of receipt. All communications shall be sent to the Borrower at: American Rebel Holdings, Inc., 218 3rd Avenue

address and email set forth on the signature page of this Note, or at such other address as the Borrower or the Holder may designate
by ten (10) days advance written notice to the other parties hereto.
14.
Amendment Provision. The term “Note” and all reference thereto, as used throughout this instrument, shall mean
this instrument as originally executed, or if later amended or supplemented, then as so amended or supplemented, and any successor instrument
issued hereunder, as it may be amended or supplemented.
15.
Assignability. This Note shall be binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of
the Holder and its successors and assigns, and may not be assigned by the Borrower without the consent of the Holder.
16.
Governing Law. This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard
to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by
this Note shall be brought only in the state courts of Nevada or in the federal courts located in the State of Nevada. Both parties agree
to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action, suit, proceeding, or dispute between the Borrower
and the Holder arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Note, including any action to enforce or interpret this Note,
collect any amounts due under this Note, enforce any judgment, or protect or realize upon any collateral or other security for the obligations
evidenced by this Note, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party its reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs, including those incurred before suit, at trial, on appeal, and in any bankruptcy, insolvency, or post-judgment proceeding.
This provision is intended to be mutual, shall survive payment, conversion, repayment, and termination of this Note, and shall not merge
into any judgment. In the event that any provision of this Note is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law,
then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform
with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity
or unenforceability of any other provision of this Note. Nothing in this Section shall preclude either party from bringing an action
in another jurisdiction solely to enforce a final judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in Nevada or to realize upon
collateral or other security located in such jurisdiction.
10
17.
Construction. Each party acknowledges that its legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Note and, therefore, stipulates
that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation
of this Note to favor any party against the other.
18.
Usury. If it shall be found that any interest or other amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing
usury, the applicable provision shall automatically be revised to equal the maximum rate of interest or other amount deemed interest
permitted under applicable law. The Borrower covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not seek to claim or take
advantage of any law that would prohibit or forgive the Borrower from paying all or a portion of the principal or interest on this Note.
19.
Piggy-Back Registration Rights. Holder is hereby granted piggy-back registration rights on the shares of Common Stock underlying
the Preferred Stock issued or issuable pursuant to this Note for any registration statement the Borrower files under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended, except for Forms S-8, S-3 or as otherwise prohibited by an underwriter or placement agent for the Borrower’s
securities
20.
Investment Representations. The Holder represents and warrants to the Borrower that:
a.
Investment Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Holder is purchasing the Note and the shares of Preferred or Common Stock potentially
issuable hereunder (collectively, the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a present view towards the public
sale or distribution thereof in a manner that would violate the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”),
except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act; provided, however, that by making
the representations herein, the Holder does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves
the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the
1933 Act. The Holder is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business. The Holder does not presently have
any agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any Person to distribute any of the Securities.
b.
Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation
D (an “Accredited Investor”).
11
c.
Reliance on Exemptions. The Holder understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific
exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Borrower is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of, and the Holder’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings
of the Holder set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Holder to acquire
the Securities.
d.
Information. The Holder and its advisors, if any, have been, and for so long as the Note remain outstanding will continue to be,
furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Borrower and materials relating to the offer and
sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Holder or its advisors. The Holder and its advisors, if any, have been, and for
so long as the Note remain outstanding will continue to be, afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Borrower. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Borrower has not disclosed to the Holder any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information
unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the Holder. The Holder understands
that its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk. The Holder is not aware of any facts that may constitute
a breach of any of the Borrower’s representations and warranties made herein. The Holder has sought such accounting, legal and
tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its acquisition of the Securities.
e.
Governmental Review. The Holder understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in
the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.
f.
Transfer or Re-sale. The Holder understands that (i) the sale or re-sale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered
under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (a) the Securities are sold
pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) the Holder shall have delivered to the Borrower, at the cost
of the Holder, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions
to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration,
which opinion shall be accepted by the Borrower, (c) the Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (as defined
in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Holder who agrees to sell or
otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Agreement and who is an Accredited Investor, (d) the Holder provides the
Borrower with reasonable assurance that the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144, or (e) the Securities
are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Regulation S”), and the Holder shall
have delivered to the Borrower, at the cost of the Holder, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary
for opinions of counsel in corporate transactions, which opinion shall be accepted by the Borrower; (ii) any sale of such Securities
made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable,
any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to
be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the
rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Borrower nor any other person is under any obligation to register
such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder
(in each case), except as required hereunder.
12
g.
Legends. The Holder understands that the Note and the conversion common stock shares shall bear any legend as required by the
“blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may
be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):
“NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED
FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES
ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM,
THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.”
The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Borrower shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security
upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for sale
under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without
any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (b) such holder provides
the Borrower with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to
the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be
accepted by the Borrower so that the sale or transfer is effected. The Holder agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented
by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed, in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any.
h.
Authorization; Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered
on behalf of the Holder, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder enforceable in accordance with its
terms.
i.
Residency. The Holder is a resident of the State of Missouri and has no plans to change its residence within the near future.

American
Rebel Holdings (NASDAQ: AREB) Announces Nasdaq Trading Resumption and Provides Shareholder Update
NASHVILLE,
TN / ACCESS Newswire / April 27, 2026 / American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB)(NASDAQ:AREBW) (“American Rebel”
or the “Company”) today acknowledged Nasdaq’s announcement that trading in the Company’s common stock and publicly
traded warrants will resume at 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time on April 27, 2026. Trading in AREB and AREBW had been halted by Nasdaq
on March 20, 2026 at 7:50 p.m. Eastern Time.
“We
appreciate Nasdaq’s resumption of trading and the continued support of our shareholders during this process,” said Andy
Ross, Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel. “The shares issued to CEDE & Co. for distribution to stockholders affected
by the round-lot rounding were an important part of the stockholder-protection mechanics associated with our reverse split, and we believe
that issuance addressed the Nasdaq Publicly Held Shares deficiency. Broadridge’s range analysis also highlights the breadth of
our shareholder base, with a significant majority of beneficial holders owning positions below 250 shares. We remain focused on transparency,
compliance, and executing our business plan as America’s Patriotic Brand.”
Per
a transfer agent report generated this morning, the Company’s most recent common shares issued and outstanding are 4,132,655.
Based
on Broadridge’s Share Range Analysis, with a record date of April 14, 2026 and last updated April 22, 2026 at 2:52 a.m., approximately
86% of American Rebel’s approximately 33,908 beneficial shareholders held positions under 250 shares as of
the record date, with nearly 82% of holders owning between 100 and 249 shares. These figures reflect Broadridge’s
range analysis and should be read alongside the transfer-agent snapshot for reconciliation to the Company’s issued and outstanding
share count.
American
Rebel appreciates the continued patience and support of its stockholders and remains focused on executing its business strategy across
its growing American Rebel brand platform. The Company will continue to provide updates to stockholders as appropriate through public
disclosures and official company communications.
The
Company’s 1-for-100 reverse stock split became effective on March 23, 2026. The Company notes that the split-adjusted prior reference
price, or previous close, for the Company’s common stock was $6.46, as previously disclosed in the Company’s March
24, 2026 stockholder update. Nasdaq’s AREB market activity page is available here: https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/areb.
The Company’s March 24, 2026 stockholder update is available here: https://www.nasdaq.com/press-release/american-rebel-holdings-inc-nasdaq-areb-arebw-provides-stockholder-update-following-1.

As
previously disclosed, on March 23, 2026, the Company received an additional deficiency letter from Nasdaq notifying the Company that,
as a result of the March 23, 2026 1-for-100 reverse stock split, the Company had a post-reverse-split publicly held shares number of
approximately 247,279. As a result, the Company did not comply with the minimum 500,000 Publicly Held Shares requirement
for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). Nasdaq also stated that the Company would remain non-compliant with the
minimum $1.00 bid price requirement until the Publicly Held Shares deficiency was cured and, thereafter, until the Company met the bid
price standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless Nasdaq staff exercised discretion to extend such period.
Nasdaq
further stated in the March 23, 2026 Additional Staff Determination Letter that, in addition to the Additional Staff Delist Determination,
Nasdaq placed trading in the Company’s securities in a Qualification Halt under Listing Rule 4120(i), effective March 23, 2026,
and that the Qualification Halt would remain in place at least until the Company regained compliance with the Publicly Held Shares requirement
under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4).
As
most recently disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, on April 6, 2026, in connection with the round-lot share rounding
associated with the March 23, 2026 reverse stock split, the Company issued 3,218,299 shares of common stock to CEDE & Co.
for distribution to stockholders affected by the rounding. The Company disclosed that it believed this issuance cures the Nasdaq deficiency
for the Publicly Held Shares requirement for continued inclusion under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4). The Form 8-K is available here:

Forward-Looking
Statements
This
press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements include,
without limitation, statements regarding the Company’s Nasdaq listing status; the resumption of trading in the Company’s
common stock and warrants; the Company’s belief that the issuance of shares to CEDE & Co. for distribution to stockholders
affected by round-lot share rounding cures the Nasdaq Publicly Held Shares deficiency under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(4); the Company’s
ability to regain, evidence, or maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards; the Company’s ability to satisfy
the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement; the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’
equity requirement; the Company’s continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market; the Company’s shareholder base, share count,
and transfer-agent and Broadridge reconciliation matters; and the Company’s business strategy, operating plans, growth initiatives,
liquidity, capital resources, and future public disclosures.
2
Forward-looking
statements are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions, and projections and are subject to significant risks, uncertainties,
and changes in circumstances, many of which are outside the Company’s control. Although Nasdaq has announced the resumption of
trading in the Company’s securities, there can be no assurance that the Company has regained compliance with all applicable Nasdaq
continued listing requirements, that Nasdaq Staff or the Nasdaq Hearings Panel will agree with the Company’s belief that the CEDE
& Co. share issuance cures the Publicly Held Shares deficiency, or that the Company will receive any favorable future determination
from Nasdaq Staff, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, the Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, or any other Nasdaq adjudicatory body.
As
previously disclosed, Nasdaq Staff has noted that, under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company will remain non-compliant with
the minimum $1.00 bid price requirement until the Publicly Held Shares deficiency is cured and, thereafter, the Company meets the bid
price standard for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, unless Nasdaq Staff exercises its discretion to extend such 10-day period
as discussed in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(H). The Company can provide no assurance that it will satisfy the minimum bid price requirement
for the required period, that Nasdaq Staff will exercise any discretion in the Company’s favor, or that the Company will otherwise
be able to maintain compliance with Nasdaq’s continued listing standards. The April 9, 2026 Form 8-K includes the Publicly Held
Shares deficiency, bid-price compliance, Qualification Halt, and CEDE & Co. issuance disclosures.
In
addition, the Company remains subject to Nasdaq Hearings Panel monitoring for compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’
equity requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1). As previously disclosed, the Panel confirmed compliance with the Equity Rule
on November 21, 2025 and advised that the Company would be subject to a mandatory one-year Panel monitoring period beginning on that
date. During the monitoring period, if Nasdaq Staff determines that the Company is again out of compliance with the Equity Rule, the
Company may not be permitted to submit a compliance plan or receive additional Staff-level time to regain compliance, and Nasdaq Staff
may issue a Delist Determination Letter. In such event, the Company may request a new hearing before the initial Nasdaq Hearings Panel
or a newly convened panel, but there can be no assurance that the Company would receive a favorable determination or that its securities
would remain listed on Nasdaq. The Company’s November 24, 2025 Form 8-K describes the one-year Panel monitoring period and related
delisting risks.
Actual
results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including,
but not limited to, Nasdaq’s review of the Company’s compliance with continued listing standards; any further decisions,
notices, delisting determinations, trading halts, suspension actions, or other actions by Nasdaq Staff, the Nasdaq Hearings Panel, the
Nasdaq Listing and Hearing Review Council, or the Nasdaq Board; volatility in the market price and trading volume of the Company’s
securities; the Company’s ability to maintain sufficient stockholders’ equity; the Company’s ability to satisfy bid
price, Publicly Held Shares, market value, shareholder, corporate governance, and other Nasdaq listing requirements; the effects of the
reverse stock split and round-lot share rounding; changes in the Company’s issued and outstanding share count; the timing and accuracy
of broker, depository, transfer-agent, and beneficial ownership information; the Company’s ability to raise capital or execute
strategic transactions; general market, economic, industry, and regulatory conditions; and the risks described in the Company’s
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company
undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, Nasdaq
determinations, market developments, or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

American
Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB) Announces American Rebel Light Beer Sales Results - Rebel Light Outsells Every Beer at the 2026 NHRA
Gatornationals by 40%, Underscoring Strong Alignment with NHRA Fans
American
Rebel Light Official Beer Sponsor activation, the American Rebel Light Patriotic Beer Garden, live music on the American Rebel Stage,
a high-energy Matt Hagan Total Wine pre-race event, and early on-track success from American Rebel-backed teams highlight growing momentum
with consumers, retailers, venue operators, and distribution partners
NASHVILLE,
TN / ACCESS Newswire / April 28, 2026 / American Rebel Beverages, a subsidiary of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AREB),
today announced that American Rebel Light Beer delivered a breakout performance at the 57th Annual AMALIE Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals
in Gainesville, Florida, where American Rebel Light Beer outsold every other beer offered at the track by 40%, outperformed a
top national brand by 600%, and exceeded that brand’s light beer version by 150%.
American
Rebel - America’s Patriotic Beer didn’t just show up to the 2026 Amalie Motor Oil NHRA Gatornationals. It took over.
For
American Rebel, the weekend was about more than strong sales. Management believes the Gatornationals provided compelling real-world proof
that NHRA fans and American Rebel Light Beer are a natural fit. In one of the most patriotic, high-energy, tradition-rich environments
in motorsports, fans responded to the brand’s message, taste profile, and full-event activation in a way that translated into visible
engagement and measurable sell-through. American Rebel Light is America’s Patriotic Beer, brewed for Americans who love their country
and a great-tasting premium light lager.
“NHRA
is where our people are,” said Andy Ross, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of American Rebel Holdings, Inc. “These
are fans who love speed, freedom, competition, country, and the full race-day experience. Gainesville showed exactly why American Rebel
Light belongs in that environment. Fans didn’t just try the beer - they came back for it, they carried it through the Midway and
the grandstands, and they made it clear that America’s Patriotic Beer resonates with this audience.”
1
As
the Official Beer Sponsor of the Gatornationals, American Rebel Light built one of the weekend’s most visible brand platforms.
The American Rebel Light Patriotic Beer Garden anchored the Midway and became a central gathering place for fans throughout race weekend.
The American Rebel Stage kept energy high with live music between nitro sessions, including a performance by Ross, extending the brand
from beverage choice to full fan experience. From first-round qualifying through final eliminations, American Rebel Light was positioned
not simply as a sponsorship asset, but as part of the atmosphere and identity of the event itself.
That
alignment was reinforced operationally by Tri-Eagle Sales, American Rebel’s distributor partner across North and North Central
Florida, which supported on-site execution, cold-box placement, product delivery, and event-level logistics throughout the weekend. The
result was a highly visible, high-velocity activation that showcased the brand’s ability to perform in a competitive, high-volume
live-event environment.
The
Numbers Don’t Lie: Fan Demand For American Rebel Light Beer Was Overwhelming
“We
were incredibly excited by American Rebel’s outstanding performance at the Gatornationals,” said Dylan Witt, District
Manager - Southeast, Sodexo Live! Sports Division. “Their team was attentive, responsive, and extremely supportive in helping
us execute this event...and I found a new Beer! The brand (American Rebel Light) truly resonated with consumers, and the sales results
exceeded all expectations. This success has energized our team, and we are actively exploring additional opportunities to support
American Rebel across other venues we manage throughout the Southeast. We see great potential for growth and look forward to expanding
our partnership.”
2
The
momentum extended well beyond the track. On the Thursday before race weekend, American Rebel hosted a high-energy meet-and-greet and
sampling event with four-time NHRA Funny Car World Champion Matt Hagan at Total Wine & More in Gainesville. Fans lined up well
before Hagan arrived, stretching through the lobby and out the door. The event sold more than 50 twelve-packs in a single activation,
making it one of the strongest chain-level sampling events in the brand’s history and providing another clear signal that trial
is converting into purchase.
“We
knew the event would be strong, but the turnout blew us away,” said Todd Porter, President of American Rebel Beverages.
“What we saw in Gainesville - both at retail and at the track - is exactly what we want our distribution partners, retail accounts,
and venue operators to see: when consumers taste Rebel Light and experience the brand in the right setting, they buy it. That kind of
trial-to-purchase conversion matters, and it gives us confidence as we continue to expand in Florida and other key markets.”
“Florida
is a cornerstone state for American Rebel Light Beer in 2026, and partnering with Tri-Eagle Sales is a game-changer,” said Ross.
“Tri-Eagle’s market relationships, logistics strength, and disciplined execution will help us turn growing retailer demand
into real retail velocity.”
American
Rebel believes the Gatornationals weekend also demonstrates a broader commercial point for wholesalers, retailers, and on-premise partners:
American Rebel Light is built for high-engagement occasions. The brand’s patriotic positioning, approachable taste profile, race-day
energy, and integrated activation model created a powerful combination that drove both traffic and sales. For on-premise operators and
venue partners, the weekend showed the brand’s ability to hold its own in a crowded, competitive environment. For off-premise retailers,
the Total Wine event showed the power of sampling, athlete association, and merchandising to convert interest into immediate sell-through.
For distributors, the event offered a scalable playbook that combines sponsorship, field execution, consumer trial, and retail follow-through.

America’s
Beer. America’s Race. America’s Fans.
At
110 calories, 4g of carbs, 4.2% ABV, and zero corn, rice, or shortcuts, American Rebel Light is built for the NHRA and American
Rebel fans who showed up in Gainesville and chose it overwhelmingly over every other option. The 2026 Gatornationals proved that when
you put America’s Patriotic Beer in front of the right crowd, they don’t just try it - they come back for more.
America’s
Patriotic, God-Fearing, Constitution-Loving, National Anthem-Singing, Stand-Your-Ground Beer
American
Rebel Racing’s 2026 NHRA presence also helped put the brand front-and-center with one of motorsports’ most loyal fan bases.
At the season-opening Gatornationals, both Matt Hagan in Funny Car and Leah Pruett in Top Fuel opened eliminations with first-round victories,
while John Hall rode the American Rebel Light Pro Stock Motorcycle all the way to the final round. Management believes that opening-race
performance reinforced the energy around the American Rebel brand at the track and extended the weekend’s momentum beyond beer
sales alone.
That
momentum has continued through the early part of the 2026 NHRA season. Hagan followed Gainesville by winning the historic 1,000th
Funny Car race in NHRA history at the Lucas Oil NHRA Winternationals in Pomona. Pruett reached the final round in Phoenix in
just her second race back in Top Fuel competition, and unofficial NHRA points following the fourth event of the season listed Hagan second
in Funny Car, Pruett third in Top Fuel, and Hall third in Pro Stock Motorcycle. The Company’s driver lineup at Gainesville included
Leah Pruett in Top Fuel, Matt Hagan in Funny Car, and John Hall in Pro Stock Motorcycle, giving American Rebel Light Beer meaningful
on-track exposure across multiple premier NHRA classes at the very start of the season.
“We’re
proud of what the NHRA Gatornationals weekend represented in beer sales at the track,” Porter added. “This was not just a
sponsorship. It was a brand statement. Our American Rebel Beer Garden, our race-team relationships, our music, our retail event, and
our distributor execution all came together to create an unforgettable fan experience. That matters to consumers, and it matters to the
accounts and partners who want brands that can create energy, sell product, and build repeat business with American Rebel Light Beer.”
American
Rebel Light is positioned as a premium domestic light lager crafted for consumers who want a crisp, easy-drinking beer with a cleaner
ingredient story and a bold brand identity. With approximately 110 calories, 4 grams of carbohydrates, and 4.2% ABV per 12-ounce serving,
American Rebel Light is brewed with a 100% all-malt recipe and without the corn, rice, or added sweetener shortcuts often associated
with mass-market light beer. Brewed in La Crosse, Wisconsin by City Brewing Company, with recipe development in partnership with the
AlcSource beverage innovation team, the product is built for consistency, scale, and broad consumer appeal.
Since
launch, American Rebel Light has continued to expand under a Distributor-First growth strategy, securing distribution agreements across
18 states and building placements in both on-premise and off-premise accounts. Management believes the Gatornationals performance provides
a strong proof point for future growth discussions with chain buyers, independent retailers, venue operators, and distributors seeking
brands that can generate authentic consumer connection and visible market momentum.

“Gainesville
was another milestone weekend for American Rebel Light,” Ross said. “For retail investors, it showed consumer demand. For
retailers and establishments, it showed velocity. For wholesalers and venue partners, it showed execution. And for American Rebel Light
Beer, it reinforced something we believe strongly: when America’s Patriotic Beer is placed in front of the right crowd, it wins.”
