Big Digital Energy, Inc. Terminates Existing Stockholder Rights Agreement

Board Concludes Rights Agreement Is No Longer Necessary and Reaffirms Commitment to Transparency and Shareholder Empowerment

MIDLAND, Pa., June 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Big Digital Energy, Inc. (“Big Digital” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: “BGDE”), today announced its Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously approved an amendment to accelerate the expiration date of the Company’s existing stockholder rights agreement (the “Rights Agreement”) from February 1, 2027 to June 8, 2026. The effect of this amendment is to terminate the Rights Agreement at end of day on June 8, 2026.

In deciding to accelerate the expiration date of the Rights Agreement, the Board evaluated the Company’s current circumstances, including the risk of any entity, person or group gaining a control or control-like position in the Company through open market accumulations of the Company’s common stock or otherwise potentially disadvantaging the interests of the Company’s stockholders. Based on this review, the Board concluded that the Rights Agreement is no longer required at this time.

“After carefully evaluating the Company’s current circumstances and shareholder base, the Board determined that the Rights Agreement is no longer necessary at this time,” said Josh Kilgore, Chairman of the Board of Big Digital. “Accelerating its expiration is another step toward greater transparency and shareholder empowerment. We believe this action further aligns the Company with the interests of all stockholders while maintaining the Board’s ability to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities and act in the best interests of the Company.”

Additional details regarding the amendment will be included in a Current Report on Form 8-K to be filed by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
