**La Rosa Holdings Announces Voluntary Executive Salary Reductions by 60%**

**Celebration, FL** – **February 23, 2026** – La Rosa Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: LRHC) ("La Rosa" or the "Company"), a real estate and PropTech enterprise, today announced that its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer have voluntarily requested a 60% reduction in their base salaries, effective March 15, 2026.

The decision comes as part of a broader initiative to review and strengthen the Company's corporate structure and focus resources on areas that contribute directly to profitability. La Rosa is evaluating operations across the organization, reducing overhead, restructuring or exiting underperforming subsidiaries, and reallocating capital toward higher-impact initiatives intended to support long-term earnings.

Joe La Rosa, CEO of La Rosa, commented, "We are building a leaner, stronger organization designed to generate sustainable profitability — not just revenue. To demonstrate our conviction in La Rosa's future and alignment with shareholders, I have initiated the reduction of my own salary, and our Chief Operating Officer has done the same. We are making this decision because we believe in what we are building, and because leadership should share directly in both the risks and the rewards. In our view, our results should be measured by the value we deliver to shareholders rather than guaranteed executive pay. We believe this approach reinforces accountability and aligns leadership with long-term performance."

The foregoing descriptions of changes to the respective officers' terms of employment are summaries only and do not purport to be complete. For further information, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be available on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov.
