Company’s Stock Split Maintains Nasdaq Compliance as the Company Prepares for Next Generation of Its Acquisition Financings

Miami, FL – August 1, 2023 – Globe Newswire – Smart for Life, Inc. (Nasdaq: SMFL) (“Smart for Life” or the “Company”), a high growth global leader in the Health & Wellness sector marketing and manufacturing nutritional foods and supplements worldwide, announced that it will effect a 1-for-3 reverse stock split (“reverse split”) of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”) and its authorized stock, that will become effective on August 2, 2023. Smart for Life’s common stock will continue to trade on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “SMFL” and will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis when the market opens on August 2, 2023. The new CUSIP number for the Common Stock following the reverse split will be 83204U400.

Among other considerations, the reverse split is intended to maintain the Company’s compliance with the minimum bid price requirement for maintaining the listing of its common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market and to make the bid price more attractive to investors. In addition, the split is part of a larger strategic plan to support future acquisition financings, including multiple accretive acquisitions currently and prospectively in the Company’s pipeline.

“We have undergone a significant transformation of the Company, which we believe has set the stage for sustainable organic growth and positions us to execute on additional, highly accretive acquisitions,” stated Darren Minton, Smart for Life’s Chief Executive Officer. “Nevertheless, the overall capital markets remain challenging, and we believe this reverse split will allow us to maintain Nasdaq compliance, tighten the public float in our stock, and attract a broader universe of investors. Overall, we are highly encouraged by the outlook for the business and remain steadfast in achieving our near-term goal of $100 million in annualized revenues, as well as sustained profitability.”
