## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

**CEA Industries Announces That YZi Labs' Request to Fix Record Date for Proposed Consent Solicitation Is Deficient**

*Request omitted highly material disclosures required under the Company's bylaws*

 

*YZi Labs may not proceed with its proposed consent solicitation*

 

*Stockholders are not required to take any action at this time*

LOUISVILLE, CO, March 24, 2026 — CEA Industries Inc. (NASDAQ: BNC) ("BNC" or the "Company") today announced that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has completed its review of the request received from YZILabs Management Ltd. ("YZi Labs") to set a record date for determining the stockholders entitled to consent in connection with YZi Labs' proposed consent solicitation (the "Request Letter").

The Board has determined that YZi Labs' Request Letter is deficient because it omitted material information required under the Company's bylaws. Accordingly, the Board has not set a record date, and YZi Labs may not proceed with its proposed consent solicitation.

The Board issued the following statement:

Like many public companies, the Company's bylaws establish a clear and straightforward process for stockholders to act outside of the regular process of a stockholder meeting. These provisions are designed to ensure orderly and informed consent solicitations. Among other provisions, the Company's bylaws require a stockholder seeking to solicit consents from other stockholders to request that a record date be fixed and provide certain information about itself and related parties.

Following a careful review of the Request Letter in accordance with its fiduciary duties, the Board determined that YZi Labs' Request Letter failed to satisfy the clear and substantive requirements of the Company's bylaws by omitting highly material information on important topics. For example, the Request Letter failed to disclose the number of BNB held by YZi Labs, its related persons and its nominees, and omitted details about financial relationships between YZi Labs and its nominees—at least six of whom have significant connections to YZi Labs.

The omitted disclosures are critical to ensuring that the Board and stockholders are fully informed about potential conflicts of interest and incentives that could be adverse to stockholder interests if YZi Labs takes control of the Board. With these, the Board and stockholders cannot evaluate whether YZi Labs' nominees could exercise independent judgment, rather than being beholden to YZi Labs' separate interests.

The Board remains focused on governing BNC in the best interests of the Company and all stockholders. Should YZi Labs submit a new request letter, the Board will review it for compliance with the bylaws and, if it provides all required information and is otherwise in the proper form, the Company will announce a record date for YZi Labs' consent solicitation.

Stockholders are not required to take any action at this time.
