"In a Company-sponsored focus group survey of adult consumers who vape, Charlie's SBX Disposables were overwhelmingly preferred (15:1) over Juul tobacco-flavored vapes," explained Ryan Stump, Charlie's Chief Operating Officer. "Compared to Juul, SBX provides many more flavor options, unbeatable tax advantages, and thousands more puffs. Since introducing the product in stores across the southeast this year, consumer response has been outstanding. NACS will provide Charlie's the opportunity to expand significantly our convenience store distribution. We believe SBX positions Charlie's to grow both sales and market share faster than any other product in the Company's history!"

Henry Sicignano III, Charlie's President, commented, "I am proud to report: Charlie's is now profitable… and growing. Our balance sheet is clean; we have no outstanding warrants and very little debt. In the very near term, we believe our success growing SBX sales, while simultaneously monetizing the Company's PMTA-submitted PACHA synthetic nicotine products, will enable us to meet the minimum requirements to uplist to a national securities exchange."

"In preparation for an uplist, we will introduce LD Micro investors to Charlie's… and we will encourage open market purchases of our common stock," explained Mr. Sicignano. "Our goals are simple: (i) to expand awareness of Charlie's outstanding competitive position in the U.S. market; (ii) to increase the number of Charlie's shareholders; (iii) to increase shareholder liquidity; and (iv) to increase long-term shareholder value. Given how far we have come… and our outstanding sales trajectory… we are incredibly excited for what lies ahead."
