**BLUE STAR FOODS CORP.**

**Miami, Florida 33032**

**INFORMATION STATEMENT**

**INFORMATION STATEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 14(c) OF THE**

**SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**

**WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND**

**YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.**

This Information Statement is being mailed on or about February 9, 2026 to the stockholders of record of Blue Star Foods Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), as of January 30, 2026. The purpose of this Information Statement is to notify stockholders that the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has approved the following corporate action (the "Authorized Share Increase"):

● An amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock from 500,000,000 to 5,000,000,000 shares.

The written consent of the Board was obtained on January 28, 2026. Under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Company is required to furnish this Information Statement to all stockholders who were entitled to vote or give written consent on the corporate action but who have not consented in writing.

Pursuant to Rule 14c-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, the Authorized Share Increase will not be effective until at least 20 calendar days after this definitive Information Statement is first mailed to stockholders and until the Certificate of Amendment is filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware

**DESCRIPTION OF THE AUTHORIZED SHARE INCREASE**

**Summary of the Amendment**

The Amendment increases the number of authorized shares of the Company's common stock from **500,000,000** to **5,000,000,000** shares. The par value of the common stock will remain $0.0001 per share. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock will remain 5,000,000 shares, par value $0.0001 per share.

A form of the Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as **Appendix A**.

**Purpose of the Authorized Share Increase**

We believe that the increase in authorized common stock is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The additional authorized shares will provide us with greater flexibility to:

● finance our operations and growth through equity offerings;

● engage in strategic transactions, including acquisitions, joint ventures, or partnerships;

● issue equity-based awards to employees, officers, directors, and consultants under existing or future compensation plans; and

● effect potential debt conversions or other financing arrangements.

Having additional authorized shares available for issuance will allow us to act on financing and strategic opportunities without the delay and expense associated with seeking stockholder approval at the time of a specific issuance, subject to applicable law and Nasdaq (or other exchange) listing rules.

**Potential Adverse Effects of the Authorized Share Increase**

The authorization of additional shares of common stock **does** not by itself change the rights of existing stockholders. However, any future issuance of additional shares could have the following effects:

● Dilution of the voting power and ownership percentage of existing stockholders;

● Adverse market effects on the trading price of our common stock;

● Possible anti-takeover implications, as increasing authorized shares could, under certain circumstances, be used to make a change in control more difficult by issuing shares to persons aligned with management. The Board has not proposed the Authorized Share Increase in response to any specific takeover threat and is not aware of any such pending efforts.

**No Appraisal Rights**

Stockholders are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights under Delaware law or our governing documents with respect to the Authorized Share Increase.

**VOTE REQUIRED; ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT**

Under Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting power is sufficient to adopt the Amendment. The Majority Stockholder(s), holding approximately **51.17%** of the voting power as of the Record Date, approved the Amendment by Written Consent on **January 28, 2026**. Therefore, no meeting and no further action by other stockholders is required.

**SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT**

The following table sets forth information as of the Record Date regarding the beneficial ownership of our common stock by (i) each person known to us to own beneficially more than 5% of our outstanding common stock, (ii) each of our directors and named executive officers, and (iii) all current directors and executive officers as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, each person has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares beneficially
