Empery Digital Inc. (NASDAQ:EMPD) (the "Company" or "Empery Digital") announced today that the Company’s Board of Directors (the "Board") approved an amendment to the Company’s stockholder rights plan (the "rights plan") to accelerate the expiration date to the close of business on July 6, 2026. The rights plan was scheduled to expire on February 2, 2027.

In deciding to terminate the rights plan, the Board determined that maintaining the rights plan is no longer necessary at this time to serve the best interests of all stockholders. In making its determination, the Board considered the circumstances that led to the adoption of the rights plan, the Company’s recent developments and other factors that the Board deemed important in consideration of shareholder interest and the long term success of the Company.

The Board is committed to acting in the best interests of all shareholders and will evaluate, from time to time, whether to adopt a new stockholder rights plan in order to best position the Board to fulfill its fiduciary duties.

Stockholders are not required to take any action as a result of the expiration of the rights plan. In connection with the expiration of the rights plan, Empery Digital will be taking routine actions to effectuate the termination of the rights plan. These actions are administrative in nature and will have no effect on Empery Digital’s common stock, which continues to be listed on Nasdaq.
