**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

The Company has been informed by the OTC Markets Group that its trading will move from OTC Pink to the Expert Market on or around July 17, 2025, until it regains compliance in its financial filings. The Expert Market allows for limited trading but does not allow public access to bid and ask prices or other information, including trading volume. Instead, pricing information will only be accessible to brokers and market makers. The move will make it more difficult for investors to freely trade the shares of SAML during this short period until we regain filing compliance. We take our filing obligations seriously and greatly regret the short-term impact resulting from our prior limited access to capital. We ask our investors for patience during this time, after which we expect to emerge on OTCID.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**SAML Provides Update on Disclosure Status and OTC Markets Listing**

**NEW YORK, NY, July 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) –** Samsara Luggage Inc. (OTC: SAML), a publicly traded company focused on acquiring and growing businesses in the public safety sector, today issued an update regarding its financial disclosures and status on the OTC Markets platform.

SAML is currently in the process of completing its outstanding audited financials and disclosures. The delays stem primarily from accounting and compliance matters related to legacy issues predating current management, including historical SEC comments and the need to implement updated internal systems for more efficient reporting as SAML grows.

In the last three years, SAML has also changed auditors twice, first transitioning to an India-based audit firm and then again to a U.S.-based PCAOB-registered auditor, aligning with its future listing ambitions. This process, while essential, added further complexity and time to audit completion.

Additionally, SAML faced significant cash flow constraints during the 2023–2024 market downturn, which limited its ability to allocate resources aggressively toward finalizing its financials. Despite this, SAML has remained focused on strengthening its operational foundation and preparing for future growth.

Management stated:

"While SAML was effectively in a holding pattern throughout 2023 and much of 2024 due to capital constraints, the team has worked diligently behind the scenes to prepare for the next phase of growth. We believe now is the time to execute, particularly as market conditions and trade policy shifts begin to favor our business model. There is no strategic value in remaining on the OTC for the long term, and we're fully focused on transitioning to a major exchange where we can properly raise capital and unlock shareholder value."

SAML management is currently finalizing its audited financials and is targeting submission of all outstanding filings before the beginning of Q4. SAML is also considering filing a registration statement and applying to uplist to a national exchange either concurrently with or shortly after the disclosures are filed. This move is intended to support a robust acquisition pipeline and accelerate growth across its key subsidiaries.

SAML has been advised not to submit interim unaudited financials, but instead to file complete, audited financials with all necessary adjustments. However, OTC Markets rules prohibit having multiple overdue filings, which may result in SAML being temporarily moved to the OTC Expert Market until compliance is restored.

SAML affirms that, if such a move occurs, it will be temporary and is prepared to submit the appropriate forms to return to the main OTC tier as quickly as possible.

"We are working with urgency and determination to complete our filings, restore full compliance, and pursue our listing and capital objectives. We're excited about what lies ahead and are fully committed to delivering value to our shareholders."
