Exhibit 99.1
CEA
Industries Provides Update on Status of Renegotiation of Asset Management Agreement with 10X Capital
LOUISVILLE,
CO, March 26, 2026 — CEA Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: BNC) (“BNC” or the “Company”) today provided an update
on the status of the efforts by BNC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) to renegotiate the Company’s Asset Management
Agreement (the “AMA”) with 10X Capital Asset Management LLC (“10X”).
On
February 18, following a number of conversations with 10X on the subject, the Company outlined specific proposed terms to 10X for substantive
amendments to the AMA, which were also included in a proposed amended version of the AMA that was delivered on March 8 (the “Market
Proposal”). The AMA was originally executed in August 2025, long before a majority of the current directors joined the Board.
Among
other enhancements, the Board sought to align the AMA with market practice and improve three key provisions:
● Fees:
A reduction in management fees payable to 10X from 1.75% of the Company’s treasury
asset NAV to 0.50% of NAV, plus a potential performance bonus of up to 0.25% based on income
generated;
● Term:
A reduction in the term of the agreement from 20 years to two years from the original AMA
date; and
● Liquidated
Damages: A commensurate reduction in the fees payable to 10X in the event of a termination
of the AMA without cause (and no fees payable in the event of a termination for cause).
Notably,
these industry-aligned proposed terms are materially more favorable to BNC stockholders than those YZILabs Management Ltd. (“YZi
Labs”) has demanded in its own communications with the Company and 10X.
At
the time of the February 18 conversation and as of the date that the Company delivered the Market Proposal, 10X’s principal, Hans
Thomas (now a former Director), indicated his willingness to engage constructively.
Unfortunately,
10X has not followed through on this commitment.
To
date, 10X has not provided the Company with a definitive and comprehensive counterproposal, a mark-up of the proposed revised AMA, or
even any substantive feedback on two of the Market Proposal’s most important economic terms.
Instead,
10X has only committed to a nominal reduction to its management fee. But in the Company’s view, this purported “concession”
is merely cosmetic since 10X is no longer sharing a portion of its fees with YZi Labs under their since-terminated 10X – YZi Side
Agreement. As a result of YZi Labs’ termination of that agreement, the Company believes that 10X’s net management fee would
be higher than the one to which it was entitled while its 10X – YZi Side Agreement was in effect.
To
make matters worse, the Board believes that 10X has delayed the Board’s efforts to improve the terms of the AMA. On February 25,
10X indicated that it had engaged a consulting firm to benchmark the terms of the AMA against other asset management agreements at public
companies—even though the Company’s advisors had already completed a thorough benchmarking analysis and based the Market
Proposal on those results. While 10X has not shared the results of its month-long benchmarking exercise with the Company despite promises
to do so, there are limited comparable companies and agreements to review, and the Company does not believe there is any debate to be
had about the reasonableness of the Market Proposal. The benchmarking exercise appears to have been nothing more than a stall tactic.
Put
simply, 10X has not offered any meaningful concessions and has shown no urgency or constructive engagement to amend critical terms of
the AMA.
To
be clear, because of the restrictive terms of the AMA as originally negotiated, the current Board does not have the ability to unilaterally
demand an amendment of the AMA and cannot terminate the existing agreement without paying 10X a substantial break fee. Amending the AMA
to a truly arm’s-length negotiated, market standard version requires 10X to engage constructively, negotiate in good faith and
agree to revised terms. That said, the Board will continue to pursue all avenues to reform the agreement and enhance value for stockholders.
